Sibanye Operating and Financial Results | Six months and financial year ended 31 December 2016

 



 

STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF SIBANYE

 

“The new safety structures and interventions announced in August 2016, have thus far been effective, with the Group safety performance much improved in the second half of the year. The safety performance for the Gold Division for the six months ended 31 December 2016, compared with the previous period included:

 

·                      50% improvement in the FIFR to 0.07 per million man hours;

 

·                      27% improvement SIFR to 3.72 per million man hours; and

 

·                      19% improvement in the LDIFR to 6.25 per million man hours.

 

The Sibanye Group delivered a solid operating result.  The Gold Division benefited from a relatively high rand gold price for most of the year.  Unfortunately margins towards the end of the year have shrunk considerably due to a substantially lower rand gold price.

 

Operating profit for the Gold Division for the six months ended 31 December 2016, was R4,835 million (US$346 million), 22% higher than for the comparable period in 2015, driven primarily by a 17% increase in the average rand gold price received to R569,535/kg (US$1,268/oz) compared with the same period in 2015. While the average rand gold price during the last six months of 2016 was 9% lower than for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Operating profit from the Gold Division, for the year ended 31 December 2016 of R10,155 million (US$692 million), 60% higher than for the previous year.

 

Operating profit for the Platinum Division for the six months ended 31 December 2016, of R304 million (US$21 million) reflects a positive contribution from the Rustenburg Operations from 1 November 2016 and another good performance at the Kroondal and Mimosa Operations. The operating margin for the Platinum Division increased to 10%.

 

Normalised earnings of R1,505 million (US$109 million) for the six months ended 31 December 2016, was R528 million (US$34 million) higher than the R977 million (US$75 million) reported for the comparative period in 2015. Normalised earnings of R3,657 million (US$249 million) for the year, were also significantly higher than in 2015 (R1,220 million and US$96 million).

 

Consistent with Sibanye’s dividend policy, the Board has declared a final dividend of 60 cents per share (R560 million) equivalent to 37% of normalised earnings. The comparative final dividend declared in 2015 was 90 cents per share (R916 million). The total dividend of 145 cents per share (R1,345 million) for the year ended 31 December 2016 represents a dividend yield of 5%.

 

GOLD DIVISION

 

For the six months ended 31 December 2016, total gold production from Sibanye’s Gold Division was 23,805/kg (765,400oz). While this is similar to that produced during the six months ended 30 June 2016, it is 7% lower than the comparative period in 2015, primarily due to the cessation of underground mining operations at Cooke 4 mine during the period, ongoing engineering-related bottlenecks at Driefontein and the impact of severe storm activity in the December quarter, which resulted in a number of power outages.

 

Gold sales were marginally lower than production at 23,676kg (761,200oz), which resulted in 129kg (4,100oz) remaining unsold at year end. Accordingly, operating costs were credited R43 million (US$3 million).

 

A stronger US dollar gold price, together with a weaker rand/dollar exchange rate, resulted in a 17% year-on-year increase in the average rand gold price from R487,736/kg to R569,535/kg, offsetting the lower production, with revenue increasing by 8% to R13,484 million from R12,472 million.

 

Unit costs reflect the decline in production with total cash cost (TCC) and All-in sustaining cost (AISC), increasing by 10% to R372,504/kg (US$829/oz) and R451,352/kg (US$1,005/oz) respectively year-on-year. An increase in project expenditure resulted in All-in cost (AIC) increasing by 13% to R476,774/kg (US$1,062/oz). Margins of 35% (TCC), 21% (AISC) and 16% (AIC) were approximately three percentage points higher than for the comparative period in 2015, driven by the higher gold price.

 

Underground production at Driefontein for the six months ended 31 December 2016, was 9% lower year-on-year at 7,208kg (231,700oz) due to various engineering issues, power outages and a seismic event, which affected volumes from the Masakhane, Ya Rona and Hlanganani shafts. This was despite the yield increasing from 6.69g/t to 7.05g/t due to significantly improved mining quality factors. As a result of the lower production, TCC and AISC increased by 17% and 14% to R350,875/kg (US$781/oz) and R420,763/kg (US$937/oz), respectively.

 

Kloof underground production was 3% higher year-on-year at 7,062kg (227,000oz) for the second half of 2016, as a result of a 1% increase in throughput and a 2% improvement in the average yield to 6.59g/t, driven largely by a 13% improvement in the Mine Call Factor (MCF). Costs continued to be well managed with TCC 2% lower at R331,818/kg (US$739/oz) and AISC marginally higher at R426,233/kg (US$949/oz) mainly due to an increase in capital expenditure.

 

Beatrix’s production six months under review was 7% lower year-on-year at 4,975kg (159,900oz) due to a 7% decline in the average yield to 3.45g/t. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes mined and processed from the higher grade Beatrix 4 shaft. Throughput was similar at 1.44 Mt.

 

Underground production from Cooke for the second half of 2016 was 30% lower year-on-year mainly due to the closure of Cooke 4 shaft in September 2016. Tonnes milled decreased by 42%, while the average grade increased from 3.62g/t to 4.39g/t.

 



 

Gold production from the surface operations increased by 8% for the comparable six months in 2015, mainly due to an increase in volume from Kloof surface sources.  Following the cessation of underground operation at the Cooke 4 shaft, Kloof utilised spare capacity at the Cooke 4 plant to mill additional volumes of lower grade Venterspost surface material, resulting in an additional 14kg (450oz) of production or an increase of 23%. The other surface operations were similar year-on-year.

 

PLATINUM DIVISION

 

The Platinum Division delivered attributable PGM production of 327,990oz (4E) for the six months ended 31 December 2016. Average operating costs for the Division were well managed at R10,260/4Eoz (US$734/4Eoz), resulting in an 11% cash operating margin, despite the average basket price remaining subdued at R12,204/oz (4E) (US$874/oz (4E). The Platinum Division recorded a R304 million (US$21 million) operating profit, excluding the equity accounted attributable operating profit of R186 million from Mimosa.

 

Particularly pleasing was the turnaround at the Rustenburg Operations, which were acquired effective from 1 November 2016. Attributable production from the Rustenburg Operations for November 2016 and December 2016 was 137,787oz (4E), which was in line with our expectations. While not owned by Sibanye for the full December 2016 quarter, for comparative purposes the Rustenburg Operations produced approximately 210,000oz (4E) for the quarter, an improvement of 7% from the previous quarter and 9% more than for the comparable quarter in 2015. Operating cost for the Rustenburg Operations averaged R11,485/4Eoz (US$822/4Eoz) for November 2016 and December 2016, which, while consistent with our expectations, is unsustainable and highlights the necessity and importance of realising the operating and cost synergies identified during the due diligence to ensure the sustainability of the Rustenburg Operations.

 

Attributable PGM production of 190,203oz (4E) from Kroondal, Mimosa and Platinum Mile was above guidance for both the September and December 2016 quarter. The solid operational performance at Kroondal through the period enabled sufficient stockpiles to be built to support planned milling operations throughout the annual 11-day Christmas break, for the first time in four years. Due to operational outperformance and good cost control, operating costs at all these operations for the six months ended 31 December 2016 were lower than for the previous six months, with unit costs at Kroondal declining by 3%, Mimosa by 13% and Platinum Mile by 48%.  Platinum Mile delivered a 39% operating margin for the December half year, a notable achievement. Attributable capital expenditure from Kroondal and Platinum Mile for the six months was R109 million (US$8 million).

 

Following the successful integration of the Aquarius Operations, the integration of the Rustenburg Operations is now underway and according to schedule. The Group has previously highlighted that it expects to realise operational synergies of approximately R800 million per annum from the combined Aquarius and Rustenburg operations over a three year period. The first steps in realising these synergies have begun, with approximately R400 million in synergies expected to be realised by year-end. A Section 189 process at the Platinum Division was announced on 26 January 2017.

 

INTERNAL GROWTH PROJECTS

 

Expenditure on organic growth projects for the year ended 31 December 2016 was R762 million (US$52 million), 70% of which was spent at the Burnstone project. As a result of the recent strength in the rand and its impact on operating margins for the gold industry, organic project capital expenditure is being reviewed. This includes reviewing the planned 2017 capital profile at the UG2 project at Rustenburg, the Burnstone project and the West Rand Tailings Retreatment Project (WRTRP). Certain projects may be deferred or placed on care and maintenance until commodity prices sustainably improve and/or exchange rate volatility has subsided.

 

CORPORATE ACTIVITY

 

The Stillwater Acquisition

 

Good progress has been made regarding the proposed acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company Limited (Stillwater), which was announced on 9 December 2016 (Transaction). The acquisition of this Tier 1, low cost PGM producer is expected to significantly enhance Sibanye’s asset base and create a globally competitive South African mining champion.

 

In addition to expanding Sibanye’s portfolio with high-grade reserves that currently support over 25 years of mine life, Stillwater also offers near-term, low-cost organic growth through the Blitz Project, medium term growth through the Lower East Boulder project and longer term opportunities through the substantial unmined strike extensions of the current operations.

 

The world class downstream processing facilities will provide Sibanye with a mine-to-market PGM business and a steady state recycling operation that has consistent margins and strategic insight into the PGM markets. Ultimately, this transaction will attractively position Sibanye’s Platinum Division on the global cost curve, enhancing our ability to sustain and pay industry-leading dividends.

 

On 3 February 2017, an update on the transaction was released which indicated that a General Meeting of shareholders to approve the proposed Transaction will be held in in mid-April 2017, followed by an equity capital raise in the form of a rights offer with a minimum value of US$750 million and a targeted value of US$1.3 billion.

 



 

OUTLOOK

 

Gold production for the year ending 31 December 2017 is forecast between 47,000kg and 48,000kg (1.51Moz and 1.54Moz), with TCC forecast between R385,000/kg and R395,000/kg (US$890/oz to US$910/oz) and AISC of between R470,000/kg and R480,000/kg (US$1,080/oz to US$1,105/oz). Total capital expenditure for 2017, including Burnstone, is currently planned at approximately R4.0 billion (US$300 million). The dollar costs are based on an average exchange rate of R13.50/US$.

 

The Platinum Division is forecast to produce between 1.05Moz and 1.10Moz (4E). Operating cost for the Kroondal Operation is forecast at R10,500/4Eoz (US$780/4Eoz), the Mimosa Operation at R11,400/4Eoz (US$845/4Eoz), the Platinum Mile Operation at R8,500/4Eoz (US$615/4Eoz) and the Rustenburg Operation at R11,800/4Eoz (US$875/4Eoz). The total operating cost for the Platinum Division is forecast at R11,150/4Eoz to R11,450/4Eoz (US$825/4Eoz — US$850/4Eoz). The expected capital expenditure for 2017 is planned at approximately R900 million (US$67 million) or R780/4Eoz to R850/4Eoz. Marketable (saleable) chrome production from Rustenburg is forecast at approximately 400,000t.

 

The ongoing strength in the rand and relatively muted consensus outlook for the gold price will impact the South African mining industry operating margins in 2017, including those of Sibanye’s South African Gold and Platinum Divisions. As mentioned, in light of these factors and the likely impact on cash flow, management is re-evaluating its current growth capital expenditure plans.”

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW OF THE GROUP

 

For the six months ended 31 December 2016 compared with the six months ended 31 December 2015

 

REVENUE

 

Revenue increased by 33% to R16,536 million from R12,472 million. This included first time revenue from the newly acquired Platinum Division of R3,052 million. The balance of the increase of R1,012 million represents an increase of 8% for the Gold Division. This increase was due to a 17% increase in the rand gold price, offsetting the decrease in gold sales partly due to the cessation of mining at Cooke 4.

 

OPERATING COSTS

 

Operating costs, including R2,748 million at the Platinum Division, increased by 34% to R11,397 million. Costs at the Gold Division were well controlled and showed an increase of 2% to R8,650 million from R8,501 million, despite above inflation increases on electricity and labour costs. These increases were partly offset by the cessation of mining at Cooke 4. Gold production of 129kg was unsold at year end due to timing differentials, resulting in a credit to operating costs of R43 million.

 

OPERATING PROFIT

 

Operating profit for the Group was 29% higher at R5,139 million, from R3,971 million for the comparable period in 2015. The Group operating margin remains robust at 31%, while the operating margin at the Gold Division increased from 32% to 36%.

 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

 

Capital expenditure of R2,131 million at the Gold Division was 19% higher year-on-year largely due to expenditure of R461 million on Burnstone and other projects, approved in 2015.

 

Sustaining capital expenditure at the Gold Division was higher at R418 million due to the timing of winder and technical upgrades as well as energy saving projects. Ore reserve development capital (ORD) was similar year-on-year at R1,252 million.

 

Attributable capital expenditure at the Platinum Division was R259 million for the six months ended 31 December 2016 of which the majority was spent on conveyor installations.

 

AMORTISATION AND DEPRECIATION

 

Amortisation and depreciation of R2,097 million was marginally higher than for the comparable period in 2015. This included an attributable R171 million from the consolidation of the Platinum Division, partly offset by lower amortisation and depreciation from the Gold Division, primarily due to the impairment of Cooke 4.

 

FINANCE EXPENSES

 

Finance expenses increased from R299 million to R518 million. This increase was due to a R132 million increase in interest paid following an increase in gross debt required to fund the acquisition of the Aquarius and Rustenburg Operations. Sibanye’s average gross debt outstanding (excluding the Burnstone Debt) was approximately R6,300 million during the second half of 2016, compared with R3,600 million for the comparable period in 2015.

 

In addition, there was a R48 million increase in the environmental rehabilitation obligation accretion expenses mainly due to the acquisition of Aquarius and the Rustenburg Operations, which added R35 million, and new disturbances.

 

SHARE OF RESULTS OF EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS

 

The R98 million gain from share of results of equity-accounted investments, was primarily due to Sibanye’s share of losses of R41 million relating to its 33.1% interest in Rand Refinery, and share of gains of R144 million from its attributable share in Mimosa.

 

For additional information of Sibanye’s equity-accounted investments see note 9 of the condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

GAIN AND LOSS ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The R144 million net gain for the six months ended 31 December 2016 compares with a R255 million net loss on financial instruments for the six months ended 31 December 2015. This primarily consists of a R105 million fair value gain (31 December 2015: R96 million fair value loss) related to the share-based payment obligations, a R45 million fair value gain (31 December 2015: Rnil) on the Cooke hedges, a R21 million fair value gain (31 December 2015: Rnil) on the “purchase of concentrate” debtor acquired on acquisition of the Rustenburg Operations, and a R29 million loss (31 December 2015: R163 million loss) on revised estimated cash flows of the Burnstone Debt.

 

For additional information of the gain and loss on financial instruments see note 4 of the condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

GAIN AND LOSS ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES

 

The gain on foreign exchange differences of R182 million was mainly due to exchange rate gains of R124 million on the Burnstone Debt and R98 million on the US$350 million revolving credit facility, partly offset by the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on other financial assets and financial liabilities of R40 million.

 

NON-RECURRING ITEMS

 

GAIN ON ACQUISITION

 

A gain on acquisition of R2.4 billion arose on the acquisition of the Rustenburg Operations.

 

For additional information on the gain on acquisition see note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

IMPAIRMENTS

 

As a result of a decrease in the gold price from 30 June 2016, a decision was taken during the six months ended 31 December 2016, to impair the goodwill allocated to the Cooke CGU by R201 million and the Cooke 1, 2 and 3 mining assets by R355 million.

 

For additional information on the impairments see note 5 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ON BEE TRANSACTION

 

An expense of R240 million relating to share-based payment on BEE transaction was recognised as part of the Rustenburg Operations acquisition.  This represents the BEE shareholders attributable value over the expected life of mine.

 



 

For additional information on the impairments see note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 



 

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

 

Restructuring costs, including voluntary separation packages, of R149 million (31 December 2015: R74 million) were incurred at Driefontein, Kloof, Beatrix, Cooke and Corporate Services.

 

TRANSACTION COSTS

 

Transaction costs of R43 million primarily related to the acquisition of the Rustenburg Operations.

 

MINING AND INCOME TAX

 

Mining and income tax increased from R383 million to R738 million. Current tax increased by R83 million to R618 million due to an increase in taxable mining income for the period. Deferred tax increased from a credit of R153 million to a charge of R120 million.

 

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

 

Sibanye defines free cash flow as cash from operating activities before dividends, less additions to property, plant and equipment.

 

Free cash flow of R330 million compares with R438 million for the six months ended 31 December 2015. This was largely due to the R832 million increase in cash generated from the operating activities, a R41 million increase in investment in working capital, a R129 million increase in net interest paid, a R150 million increase in royalties and taxation paid, and a R602 million increase in capital expenditure.

 

Available cash at 31 December 2016 (after net loans raised of R2,075 million) increased to R968 million from R871 million at 30 June 2016.

The Sibanye Board approved a final dividend, number 8, of 60 cents per share (ZAR) (gross) resulting in a total dividend of 145 cents per share (ZAR) (gross) for the year ended 31 December 2016.

 

Sibanye’s dividend policy is to return at least 25% to 35% of normalised earnings to shareholders and after due consideration of future requirements the dividend may be increased beyond these levels. Normalised earnings are defined as: basic earnings excluding gains and losses on foreign exchange differences and financial instruments, non-recurring items and share of results of equity-accounted investees. After due consideration of the Group cash position and future requirements, the Board has determined the final dividend at 60 cents per share (ZAR).

 

The final dividend is subject to the Dividends Withholding Tax. In accordance with paragraphs 11.17 (a) (i) and 11.17 (c) of the JSE Listings Requirements the following additional information is disclosed:

 

·             The dividend has been declared out of income reserves

·             The local Dividends Withholding Tax rate is 15% (fifteen per centum). The implications of Minister Gordhan’s announcement of an increase in the dividend withholding tax from 15% to 20% in his budget speech of 22 February 2017 will be evaluated and communicated to shareholders once clarity on implementation has been secured

·             The gross local dividend amount is 60 cents per ordinary share (ZAR) for shareholders exempt from the Dividends Tax

·             Dividend Withholding Tax of 15% will be applicable to this dividend

·             The net local dividend amount is 51 cents (85% of 60 cents) per ordinary share (ZAR) for shareholders liable to pay the Dividends Withholding Tax

·             Sibanye currently has 929,004,342 ordinary shares in issue

·             Sibanye’s income tax reference number is 9431292151

·             Sibanye’s Auditors are KPMG Inc. and the individual auditor is Jacques Erasmus

 

Shareholders are advised of the following dates in respect of the final dividend:

 

·             Final dividend number 8: 60 cents per share (ZAR)

·             Last date to trade cum dividend: Tuesday, 4 April 2017

·             Sterling and US dollars conversion date: Wednesday, 5 April 2017

·             Shares commence trading ex-dividend: Wednesday, 5 April 2017

·             Record date: Friday, 7 April 2017

·             Payment of dividend: Monday, 10 April 2017

 

Please note that share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 5 April 2017, and Friday, 7 April 2017, both dates inclusive.

(1)                  On acquisition of the Cooke Operations, the amount recognised as non-controlling interests represented the BEE consortium’s proportionate share of the net assets at acquisition date after considering the loan amount due and payable to Sibanye. As the recoverable amount of the Cooke cash generating units (CGU) is lower than its carrying value, the BEE consortium’s proportionate share of the net fair value at 31 December 2016 is not sufficient to fund the BEE consortium’s attributable loss, and therefore the non-controlling interest was limited to zero.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.         Basis of accounting and preparation

 

The condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements. The accounting policies (including significant accounting judgements and estimates), however, have been expanded for the PGM assets (due to the Aquarius and the Rustenburg Operations acquisitions) mainly relating to:

 

·             Revenue arising from PGM concentrate sales is recognised when risks and rewards of ownership of the mine product has passed to the buyer pursuant to a sales contract. The sales price is determined on a provisional basis at the date of delivery. Adjustments to the sales price occur based on movements in the metal market price up to the date of final pricing. Revenue on provisionally priced sales is initially recorded at the estimated fair value of the consideration receivable, determined with reference to estimated forward prices using consensus forecasts. The fair value of the final sales price adjustment is re-estimated continuously and changes in fair value recognised as an adjustment to revenue in profit or loss and trade receivables in the statement of financial position.

 

·             Judgement is required to determine when the Group has joint control, which requires an assessment of the relevant activities and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent. The Group has determined that the relevant activities for its joint arrangements are those relating to the operating and capital decisions of the arrangement. The considerations made in determining joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. Judgement is also required to classify a joint arrangement as either a joint operation or a joint venture. Classifying the arrangement requires the Group to assess their rights and obligations arising from the arrangement.

 

·             The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a business includes any liability resulting from a contingent arrangement. The contingent consideration for the Rustenburg Operations acquisition includes a deferred payment and is measured at fair value.

 

In terms of the Group’s accounting policies:

 

·             Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method; and

 

·             Joint operations are accounted for by recognising the proportionate share of assets, liabilities and transactions incurred jointly.

 

The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 has been revised to reflect the adjustment of the initial accounting in respect of Aquarius acquired on 12 April 2016. The impact of these adjustments is presented in note 7.

 

The condensed consolidated income statement and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2015 were not reviewed by the Company’s auditor and were prepared by subtracting the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2015 from the audited comprehensive consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. The condensed consolidated income statement and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2016 have not been reviewed and were prepared by subtracting the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 from the reviewed condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The US dollars consolidated income statements, and statements of comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity, and cash flows have not been audited.

 

The translation of the financial statements into US Dollars is based on the average exchange rate for the period for the income statement, statement of other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows and the period-end closing exchange rate for the statement of financial position items. Exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only.

Sibanye Gold Limited Phantom Share Scheme

 

On 14 May 2013 Sibanye’s Remuneration Committee limited the issuance of share options for the 2013 allocation under the Sibanye Gold Limited 2013 Share Plan (SGL Share Plan) to senior management only. Middle and certain senior management, who previously participated in the equity-settled share option scheme, now participate in a cash-settled share scheme, the Sibanye Gold 2013 Phantom Share Scheme (SGL Phantom Scheme).

 

The fair value of the cash-settled instruments at reporting date, used to value the share-based payment obligation, is determined using the same assumptions as for the grant date valuation. However, the respective models take into account the actual share data of the peer group for the period from the grant date to the reporting date.

 

Reconciliation of the share-based payment obligations:

(1)         The fair value adjustment at reporting date is included in loss on financial instruments in profit or loss and not as part of share-based payments expense. The appreciation in Sibanye’s share price for the six month period ended 30 June 2016 of approximately 120%, resulted in a fair value loss of R1,181.1 million. The depreciation in share price for the six month period ended 31 December 2016 of approximately 49% resulted in a fair value gain of R110.7 million.

(2)         Payments made during the period relate to vesting of shares to employees and proportionate vesting of shares to employees that have left the Group in good faith. Bonus Share (BS) options under the SGL Share Plan are issued on grant date and thus dividends are paid when the Company declares a dividend. Similarly, the BS holders under the SGL Phantom Scheme receive share-based payments to the equivalent of dividends paid, which were also paid during the period.

(1)         The gold price decreased from R628,000/kg at 30 June 2016 to R510,000/kg at 31 December 2016. As a result a decision was taken during the six months ended 31 December 2016, to impair the goodwill allocated to the Cooke CGU by R201.3 million and the Cooke 1, 2 and 3 mining assets by R355.0 million. The impairment was based on the estimated fair value less cost to sale over the life of mine calculated as expected discounted cash flows from the expected gold reserves and costs to extract the gold.

(2)         Despite intense monitoring and interventions, the Cooke 4 Operation continued to fall short of production targets and losses continued to accumulate. As a result a decision was taken during the six months ended 30 June 2016 to impair the Cooke 4 Operation’s mining assets by R816.7 million. This impairment was based on negative cash flow projections for the remainder of the life of mine.

7.         Aquarius acquisition

 

On 6 October 2015 Sibanye announced a cash offer of US$0.195 per share for the entire issued share capital of Aquarius Platinum Limited (Aquarius) (the Aquarius Transaction), valuing Aquarius at US$294 million. The transaction was subject to the fulfilment of various conditions precedent which were completed on 12 April 2016.

 

On 12 April 2016, Sibanye paid R4,302 million to the Aquarius shareholders and obtained control (100%) of Aquarius.

 

The acquisition has a strong strategic and financial rationale for Sibanye, both as a stand-alone transaction and when considered in conjunction with the announcement on 9 September 2015 of the conditional acquisition of the Rustenburg PGM operations from Anglo American Platinum Limited. These acquisitions will result in significant value creation through the realisation of synergies between the PGM assets in the Rustenburg area, thereby enhancing Sibanye’s platinum portfolio.

 

The Aquarius operations are efficiently managed, mechanised and low-cost operations that will consolidate Sibanye’s position in the South African PGM sector and also provide Sibanye with additional PGM operational experience.

 

For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, Aquarius contributed revenue of R2,104.4 million and a profit of R223.6 million to the Group’s results.

 

At 30 June 2016 the purchase price allocation (PPA) was prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations (IFRS 3). If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date identifies adjustments to the below amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

 

Subsequently, the Group received new information relating to probable PGM reserves that existed at acquisition date and adjustments were made to the provisional calculation of the fair values resulting in a decrease of R243.0 million in the fair value of property, plant and equipment, and decrease of R68.1 million to the net deferred tax liability, and an increase of R174.9 million in the reported value of goodwill. Accordingly, the PPA has been restated as required by IFRS 3.

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the expected discounted cash flows of the expected (PGM) reserves and costs to extract the PGMs discounted at a discount rate of 9% for Kroondal and Platinum Mile, and 15% for Mimosa, and an average PGM (4E) basket price of R14,700/kg.

The goodwill is attributable to the synergies between the PGM assets in the Rustenburg area. The allocation of goodwill has been provisionally allocated to the Kroondal and Rustenburg Operations cash-generating units. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deducted for tax purposes.

 

8.         Rustenburg Platinum Mines acquisition

 

On 9 September 2015, Sibanye announced that it had entered into written agreements with Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (RPM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo Platinum) to acquire the Bathopele, Siphumelele (including Khomanani), and Thembelani (including Khuseleka) mining operations, two concentrating plants, an on-site chrome recovery plant, the Western Limb Tailings Retreatment Plant, associated surface infrastructure and related assets and liabilities on a going concern basis (the Rustenburg Operations) (the Rustenburg Operations Transaction).

 

The purchase consideration comprises an upfront payment of R1.5 billion at the closing of the Rustenburg Operation Transaction (Closing) and a deferred payment calculated as being equal to 35% of the distributable free cash flow generated by the Rustenburg Operations over a six-year period from the later of Closing or 1 January 2017 (Deferred Payment), subject to a minimum payment of R3.0 billion. In addition to the Deferred Payment, which allows for a favourable extended payment period; should the Rustenburg Operations generate negative distributable free cash flows in any of 2016, 2017 or 2018, RPM will be required to pay up to R267 million per annum to ensure that the free cash flows for the relevant year is equal to zero.

 

On 19 October 2016, Sibanye obtained consent in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act for the transfer of the mining right and prospecting right pursuant to the Rustenburg Operations Transaction. Sibanye obtained control (88.4%) of the Rustenburg Operations on this date.

 

For the two months ended 31 December 2016, the Rustenburg Operations contributed revenue of R1,656.0 million and a loss of R242.6 million to the Group’s results.

 

The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3. The values measured on a provisional basis include, inter alia, deferred tax and the process to determine the effective date tax valuations.

 

If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, identifies adjustments to the below amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

Share-based payment on BEE transaction

 

The share-based payment on BEE transaction amounted to R240.3 million. In terms of the Rustenburg Operations Transaction a 26% equity stake in Sibanye Rustenburg Platinum Mines Proprietary Limited (SRPM) was acquired by the BBBEE SPV (the “BBBEE Transaction”) by a vendor financed facility from Sibanye Platinum Proprietary Limited (Sibanye Platinum), on the following terms:

 

·                  Interest at up to 0.2% above Sibanye’s highest cost of debt;

 

·                  Post payment of the annual Deferred Payment to RPM and in respect of any repayment by SRPM of shareholder loans or the distribution of dividends, 74% will be paid to Sibanye Platinum and 26% to BBBEE SPV;

 

·                  Of the 26% payment to BBBEE SPV, 85% will be used to service the facility owing by BBBEE SPV to Sibanye Platinum;

 

·                  The remaining 15% of any such payment or 100%, once the facility owing by BBBEE SPV to Sibanye Platinum is repaid, will be declared by BBBEE SPV as a dividend to the BBBEE SPV shareholders; and

 

·                  The facility will be capped at R3,500 million.

 

The IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expense has been limited to 44.8% of the 26% interest relating to the Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela Investment Holdings, as the Rustenburg Mine Community Trust and Rustenburg Mine Employees Trust are controlled and consolidated by Sibanye. The 44.8% interest was based on the expected discounted future cash flows of the expected PGM reserves and costs to extract the PGMs.

At acquisition the environmental rehabilitation obligation acquired was calculated based on the weighted average cost of capital in terms of IFRS 3 for acquisition purposes. Subsequent to initial recognition the provision was recalculated based on the risk free rate of interest in terms of IAS 37. The resulting change in estimate for Aquarius and Rustenburg Operations was R157.4 million and R197.6 million, respectively.

 



 

12.  Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

The fair value of financial instruments is estimated based on ruling market prices, volatilities and interest rates at 31 December 2016.

 

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2:    inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The following tables set out the Group’s significant financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

13.  Contingent liabilities

 

As previously indicated, the claims relating to silicosis and other occupational lung diseases are being defended.

 

On 13 May, 2016, the High Court ruled in favour of the applicants and found that there were sufficient common issues to certify two industry-wide classes: (i) a silicosis class comprising current and former mine workers who have contracted silicosis and the dependents of mine workers who have died of silicosis; and (ii) a tuberculosis class comprising current and former mine workers who have worked on the mines for a period of not less than two years and who have contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and the dependents of deceased mine workers who died of pulmonary tuberculosis. The High Court ordered a two-stage process in the class action: (i) resolve common issues and allow individuals to opt out, and (ii) allow the individuals to opt in to the class to make claims against the Respondents. The High Court also decided that claims for general damages will transmit to the estate of any deceased mine worker who dies after the date of filing of the certification application.

 

On 3 June 2016, Sibanye and the other Respondents filed an application with the High Court for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal. Arguments in the application for leave to appeal were heard on 23 June 2016. On 24 June 2016, leave to appeal was (i) granted in respect of the transferability of general damages claims but (ii) denied in respect of certification of silicosis and tuberculosis classes. On 15 July 2016, Sibanye and the other Respondents each filed petitions with the Supreme Court of Appeal for leave to appeal against the certification of the two separate classes for silicosis and tuberculosis.

 

At this stage, Sibanye can neither quantify the potential liability from the action due to the inherent legal and factual uncertainties with respect to the pending claims and other claims not yet filed against the Group nor can the length of time until finalisation be estimated.

 

14.  Events after the reporting date

 

There were no events that could have a material impact on the financial results of the Group after 31 December 2016, other than those disclosed below:

 

Dividend declared

 

A final dividend in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2016 of 60 cents per share (ZAR) was approved by the Board. This dividend is not reflected in these financial statements. The final dividend will be subject to Dividend Withholding Tax.

 

Stillwater

 

Good progress has been made regarding the proposed acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company Limited (Stillwater), which was announced on 9 December 2016. Ultimately, this transaction will attractively position Sibanye’s Platinum Division on the global cost curve, enhancing Sibanye’s ability to sustain and pay industry-leading dividends.

 

15.  Mineral Reserves and Resources

 

Reserves and Resources as at 31 December 2016 are in the process of being updated and reviewed. Included in this update will be added 4E reserves and resources from the recent Platinum acquisitions.

 

16.  Review Report of the Independent Auditor

 

These condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor, KPMG Inc., who expressed an unmodified review conclusion.

 

The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in these financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor’s engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s report together with the accompanying financial information from the Company’s registered office.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This document includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “target”, “will”, “would”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plans”, “potential”, “can”, “may” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.

 

These forward-looking statements, including, among others, those relating to Sibanye’s future business prospects, revenues and income, expected timings of the Stillwater transaction (the “Transaction”) (including completion), potential Transaction benefits (including statements regarding growth and cost savings) or information related to the Blitz Project, wherever they may occur in this document and the exhibits to this document, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management and directors of Sibanye, and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Group to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. As a consequence, these forward-looking statements should be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this document. Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, economic, business, political and social conditions in South Africa, Zimbabwe and elsewhere; changes in assumptions underlying Sibanye’s estimation of its current Mineral Reserves and Resources; the ability to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other cost savings in connection with past and future acquisitions, as well as at existing operations; the ability of Sibanye to successfully integrate acquired businesses and operations (whether in the gold mining business or otherwise) into its existing businesses; Sibanye’s or Stillwater’s ability to complete the proposed Transaction; the inability to complete the proposed Transaction due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Sibanye or Stillwater or other conditions in the merger agreement; Sibanye’s ability to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other cost savings in connection with the Transaction; the success of Sibanye’s business strategy and changes thereto, exploration and development activities; the ability of Sibanye to comply with requirements that it operate in a sustainable manner; changes in the market price of gold, platinum group metals (PGMs) and/or uranium; the occurrence of hazards associated with underground and surface gold, PGMs and uranium mining; the occurrence of labour disruptions and industrial action; the availability, terms and deployment of capital or credit; changes in relevant government regulations, particularly environmental tax health and safety regulations and new legislation affecting water, mining, mineral rights and business ownership, including any interpretations thereof which may be subject to dispute; the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or other environmental, health and safety issues; power disruptions, constraints and cost increases; supply chain shortages and increases in the price of production inputs; fluctuations in exchange rates, currency devaluations, inflation and other macro-economic monetary policies; the occurrence of temporary stoppages of mines for safety incidents and unplanned maintenance; Sibanye’s ability to hire and retain senior management or sufficient technically skilled employees, as well as its ability to achieve sufficient representation of historically disadvantaged South Africans’ in its management positions; failure of Sibanye’s information technology and communications systems; the adequacy of Sibanye’s insurance coverage; any social unrest, sickness or natural or man-made disaster at informal settlements in the vicinity of some of Sibanye’s operations; and the impact of HIV, tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. Further details of potential risks and uncertainties affecting Sibanye are described in Sibanye’s filings with the JSE and the SEC, including in Sibanye’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2015 and the Integrated Annual Report 2015. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document.

 

The Group undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
