MARKET RELEASE
Sibanye-Stillwater Trading statement and operating update for the six months ended 30 June 2021

Johannesburg, 5 August 2021:
Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is pleased to provide
a trading statement and operating update for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (H1 2021 or the
period).
In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE), a company listed on the
JSE is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty
exists that the financial results for the next period to be reported upon, will differ by at least 20% from the
financial results for the previous corresponding reporting period.
Trading statement for H1 2021
The Group advises that it expects more than 162% increase in profit attributable to the owners of the Group to
between R24,588 million (US$1,690 million) and R25,084 million (US$1,724 million) for H1 2021, compared
to R9,385 million (US$563 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (H1 2020).
Earnings per share (EPS) and Headline earnings per share (HEPS), are both expected to increase by
over 138% for H1 2021 compared with H1 2020. EPS and HEPS are expected to be between 835 SA
cents (57 US cents) and 852 SA cents (59 US cents) compared with EPS of 351 SA cents (21 US cents)
and HEPS of 350 SA cents (21 US cents) for H1 2020.
The significant increase in profit attributable to owners, basic earnings and headline earnings for the
period compared to the comparative period in 2020 is mainly attributed to the following:
Higher production from both the SA PGM and SA gold operations following the COVID-19 hard
lockdown that impacted the operations in H1 2020 and successful measures which were
implemented to reduce the impact of the ongoing pandemic on continued production
A higher average PGM basket price
Lower outstanding debt resulting in a decrease in finance expenses
These increases were partially offset by the following:
Higher mining and income taxes due to increased profitability
Higher royalty taxes for the South African operations mainly attributable to the increase in revenue
An increase in fair value losses on financial instruments
Loss on initial recognition of the Marikana BEE cash-settled share-based payment obligation,
following the Marikana BEE restructure transaction
A 13% strengthening of the R/US$ exchange rate
The conversion of rand amounts into US dollar is based on an average exchange rate of R14.55/US$ for
H1 2021 and R16.67/US$ for H1 2020. This is provided as supplementary information only.

Operating update for H1 2021 compared to H1 2020

The Group again delivered a solid operating performance for the six months ended 30 June 2021, which
underpinned the strong financial performance, ensuring leverage to higher precious metal prices and
offsetting the impact of the 13% stronger rand against the US dollar.
4E PGM production from the SA PGM operations of 928,992 4Eoz was 41% higher than for the comparative
period in 2020. Mined underground 4E PGM production increased by 43% year-on-year, to 817,369 4Eoz,
with 4E PGM production from surface 34% higher at 76,796 4Eoz and third-party purchase of concentrate
treated at the Marikana smelting and refining operations, increasing by 29% to 34,827 4Eoz.
Mined 2E PGM production from the US PGM operations of 298,301 2Eoz (H1 2020: 297,740 2Eoz) was flat
year-on-year due to a 21-day safety related work stoppage in June 2021, which reduced production by
approximately 20,000 2Eoz. Recycling increased marginally to 402,872 3Eoz.

Production at the SA gold operations (including DRDGOLD) increased by 29% to 16,138 kg (518,848 oz)
compared with H1 2020.
