Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 1
STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF SIBANYE-STILLWATER
Indisputably, 2020 has been a year of worldwide disruption, devastation and change. The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which gained momentum in early 2020, was unexpected and the impact severe. The pandemic continues to wreak an immense toll on human lives, has transformed society, social engagement and lifestyles, with major impact for global economic activity. The world is steadily learning how to live and work with COVID-19 enabling social and economic activities to continue with reduced disruption, and we are encouraged by the roll out of vaccines and other preventative actions being taken, which may mitigate further negative consequences of the pandemic. There is no doubt that this pandemic has irrevocably changed life as we know it forever and many of the changes, whether enforced or accelerated, will persist long beyond COVID-19.
Paradoxically, while certain industries have been severely impacted by the virus and the global and national initiatives to manage health risks, other industries such as technology, healthcare and online retail have boomed, with global stock markets recovering to record highs. The commodity and mining sectors have largely recovered from the initial demand shock in H1 2020, as global economic recovery has been more rapid than initially expected, with murmurings of another commodities “super cycle” recently growing in volume. This positive outlook is supported by continued stimulus and expansionary monetary policy being maintained by many countries.
The improving outlook for commodities can also be attributed to a visible shift towards more socially and environmentally aware social and regulatory priorities worldwide. This swing towards prioritising a cleaner and greener global future is likely to drive future investment in infrastructure and renewable energy, which will be extremely positive for commodity prices, particularly the essential metals that Sibanye-Stillwater produces and is targeting.
SAFE PRODUCTION
The safe production journey continues and while we continue to make progress and have achieved some notable safety milestones, we are not yet attaining the intended standard of safety performance. We remain committed to prioritising health and safety in our daily activities.
It was pleasing to note that the key safe production metrics were relatively stable year on-year, despite having to develop and incorporate additional COVID-19 protocols throughout the Group. We also had to contend with the disruptive effect of the lockdown in South Africa in H1 2020 and the complexity of the subsequent safe production build-up following the easing of lockdown restrictions from May 2020. Although the Total Injury Frequency Rate (TIFR) for the Group increased from 8.40 to 8.52 year-on-year and the Serious Injury Frequency Rate (SIFR) ticked higher year-on-year from 3.03 to 3.14, the longer term trend is positive with the TIFR and SIFR significantly better than 2015 levels of 10.33 and 4.68 respectively.
In Q2 2020, the Group achieved the first fatality free quarter since Q4 2018, and the SA gold operations achieved a remarkable milestone of 13 million fatality free shifts over close to a two year period in August 2020. The loss of nine of our colleagues during the year due to fatal incidents at the SA operations caused significant distress throughout the Group. The Group suffered five fatalities at the SA gold and PGM operations during H2 2020, with four fatalities having occurred previously at the SA PGM operations in Q1 2020.
As per our usual protocols, these incidents have been fully investigated and appropriately managed. These fatalities occurred during periods of significant operational disruption and change (the integration of the Marikana operations in Q1 2020 and the post lockdown return to work from May 2020). At Sibanye-Stillwater, we are responsible for the well-being of more than 80,000 employees and we cannot accept our operating environment (deep level underground and labour intensive) as an inhibitor of excellent safety performance. We will improve overall safety at our operations by addressing behaviour related issues and real risk reduction, to ensure our safe production performance is comparable with international peers. Our values-based culture programme has been developed to address many of the high frequency risks and we believe that we will continue to see improved safe production outcomes as this programme continues to roll out.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)
As mentioned, the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the initial lockdown period at the beginning of 2020 has prompted increased awareness and focus on global responsibility, with ESG continuing to gain prominence and relevance.
At Sibanye-Stillwater, sustainability, which encompasses environmental, social and governance excellence, along with safety as an overriding priority, has always been prominent and woven into our approach to business and the way we interact and deal with all stakeholders.
Since the inception of the company in 2013, our CARES values (Commitment, Accountability, Respect, Enabling and Safety) have informed our strategy and business culture. We have been cognisant since the formation of the Group in 2013, that building a successful and sustainable business cannot be achieved without considering and incorporating the interests and needs of all stakeholders as a fundamental part of how we operate and in so doing, ensure that each derives appropriate benefit or value from our activities. This approach is captured in our vision of “creating superior value for all stakeholders”, which is unchanged and has proven to be prescient with companies across the globe beginning to recognise the importance of all stakeholders subscribing to an ethos of stakeholder capitalism and shunning the historical notion of shareholder primacy. Investors are increasingly recognising that companies need to have regard for all stakeholders in order to have the social legitimacy to operate that enables them to sustainably generate superior returns.
Our Group purpose is “Our mining improves lives” and this core mantra has become increasingly relevant as the Group has grown and evolved from a South African gold producer in 2013, to a global, diversified precious metals corporation today. We improve lives in a myriad of multi-faceted ways: from the jobs we provide, employing over 80,000 people worldwide, to the businesses we support and continue to develop and grow in our supply chain, to the communities we support and develop, to the critical financial contribution we make to local and national governments and to the importance of the metals we produce to ensure a cleaner, greener and more sustainable world for all.
From a social perspective, assisting stakeholders to manage the COVID-19 pandemic was a primary focus during 2020. The Group has continued to provide comprehensive support to employees and their families, local communities and regional and national government in the ongoing struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic (detail on these ongoing efforts was provided in the previous Operating and Financial Results for the six months ended 30 June 2020, which was published on 27 August 2020).
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 2
It is clear that we will be living and working in a COVID-19 affected world for the foreseeable future, although the availability of vaccines marks the start of a new phase in combatting the pandemic. While the roll out of the vaccines has commenced in Montana with mine employees prioritised as essential workers during an early phase of the state’s inoculation programme, the roll out of the vaccine in South Africa has just begun and a holistic vaccination programme to protect against severe disease and attain the goal of population immunity within a reasonable time frame, is in its early stages. The eventual role that the private sector will discharge in this programme remains unclear.
The SA mining industry has expressed its commitment to assist Government with the logistics of the vaccine roll out throughout the country. Significant Company resources are available to assist should it be required, including our 44 healthcare facilities and qualified healthcare professionals spread throughout the regions in which we operate. We have proven the capability and capacity of our systems to deliver health care services to our workforce and communities through the COVID-19 lockdown and subsequent return to work, which has been effectively managed.
Our analysis indicates that we should be able to vaccinate approximately 18,000 people per day, enabling us to cover our entire workforce within a week and extend the same benefit to their families and many people in our doorstep communities in a relatively short period. Board approval has already been granted to commit up to R200 million in direct and indirect funding/assistance to the vaccine roll out effort.
This represents a significant commitment and as such needs to be accompanied by specific conditions. These include:
● | The direct monetary contribution will be administered through the Solidarity Fund to coordinate proper and effective application |
● | We support the phased approach by Government, with the highest risk citizens such as healthcare workers in both the public and private sectors logically prioritised as a first phase. While we acknowledge classification of the mining industry as an essential service included in the second phase of the national vaccine roll out, we consider that vaccines acquired or financed directly by the company should be allocated for employees and their dependents (and communities if required) and preferably administered through our health care facilities by our qualified professionals |
● | We require full transparency on the commercial arrangements for vaccine procurement by Government and the management of logistical resources. |
With regard to environmental aspects, as the largest primary producer of PGMs worldwide and one of the largest recyclers of autocatalysts containing PGMs in the US, the Group already makes a significant contribution to ensuring a clean and safe environment. Due to their unique chemical and physical characteristics and catalytic qualities, for decades the PGMs have been essential metals utilised in catalytic converters in the exhausts of internal combustion engine automobiles in order to transform noxious exhaust gasses into more benign components. The Group is positioned to play an increasing role in the future green economy, via its battery and tech metal strategy and the growing potential of the hydrogen economy, which may significantly increase demand for PGMs.
In line with our commitment to ESG excellence and continual improvement throughout the business, a comprehensive review of the Group environmental and energy footprint was undertaken, which indicates that we should be able to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. Considering the origins of the Sibanye-Stillwater Group with its deep level, energy intensive SA gold operations, which together with our other SA operations, are currently entirely dependent for their electricity needs on largely coal fired power from the South African state utility Eskom, this will be a commendable achievement. We aim to achieve this goal by, inter alia:
• | Advocating for an enabling electricity supply industry in South Africa, supportive of decarbonisation |
• | Energy and decarbonisation governance through policy, strategy, target setting and performance management |
• | Improving energy efficiency |
• | Increasing renewables as part of our energy mix |
We believe that we can accelerate the transition to carbon neutrality, and have an ambition to achieving a zero carbon footprint for the Group by 2040. We will ensure that stakeholders are kept appraised of our progress in this regard together with our ongoing efforts towards excellence in other environmental measures, on a regular basis.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
2020 was a defining year for the Group, marking the end of the deleveraging phase that has prevailed over the past three years. Despite the significant challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group delivered a record financial performance and made notable progress towards delivery on many strategic targets. This performance is testament to benefits of the strategic growth and diversification undertaken in recent years and reflects the quality, depth and resilience of the Sibanye-Stillwater leadership. We have come out of this period strongly, and the Group is well positioned for the ongoing delivery of value for all stakeholders.
Despite the ongoing implementation and observance of COVID-19 protocols to support the health and wellbeing of our workforce, production from the three operating segments for 2020 was consistent with the prior year. The build-up to normalised production levels at the SA operations from the COVID-19 lockdown in Q2 2020 exceeded forecasts despite the adoption of a phased return to work in order to protect the health and safety of employees during this sensitive period. Both the SA gold and PGM operations reached normalised production rates in November 2020, positioning the Group for an improved operational performance in 2021.
The SA PGM operations produced 1,576,507 4Eoz in 2020 (including attributable ounces from Mimosa), exceeding the upper limit of revised annual guidance of between 1,350,000 4Eoz and 1,450,000 4Eoz by 9%, with PGM production of 918,679 4Eoz for H2 2020, 40%
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 3
higher than for H1 2020. Mined PGM production from the US PGM operations of 603,067 2Eoz in 2020 was marginally higher year-on-year, but below revised guidance of between 620,000 and 650,000 2Eoz, primarily due to the impact of a spike in COVID-19 infections at the US PGM operations in Q4 2020, associated with a severe wave of COVID-19 infections in Montana. Despite the COVID-19 disruptions, H2 2020 production of 305,327 2Eoz was 3% higher than for H1 2020, with most operating trends improving towards the end of the year. Production from the SA Gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) of 25,190kg (809,877oz) was 3% above revised guidance of between 23,500 and 24,500kg (756,000oz and 788,000oz), with production of 15,023kg (483,001oz) for H2 2020, 48% higher than for H1 2020.
This solid operational performance underpinned the record financial results by obtaining full exposure to higher average precious metal prices. The average 4E PGM basket price increased by 83% to R36,651/4Eoz (US$2,227/4Eoz) for 2020 with the average 2E PGM basket price increasing by 36% to US$1,906/2Eoz (R31,373/2Eoz) and the average rand gold price increasing by 43% to R924,764/kg (US$1,747/oz). The average SA exchange rate depreciated by 14% to R16.46/US$ for the year.
Group revenue increased by 75% year-on-year to R127,392 million (US$7,740 million), with H2 2020 revenue of R72,374 million (US$4,439 million) on par with full year revenue of R72,925 million (US$5,043 million) for 2019. Group adjusted EBITDA for 2020 increased by 230% year-on-year to R49,385 million (US$3,000 million) compared to R14,956 million (US$1,034 million) for 2019.
This resulted in profit attributable to owners of Sibanye-Stillwater, increasing 472 fold from R62 million (US$5 million) for 2019 to R29,312 million (US$1,781 million). Basic earnings per share (EPS) of 1,074 cents (US 65 cents/US 261 cents/ADR) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) of R1,068 cents (US 65 cents/US 260 cents/ADR) increased by 53,600% and 2,770% respectively year-on year.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s economic contribution to the regions in which we operate grew commensurately to our profitability, with royalties increasing by 310% to R1,765 million (US$107million) for 2020 from R431 million (US$30 million) for 2019 and current mining tax increasing from R1,849 million (US$128 million) for 2019 to R5,374 million (US$327 million) for 2020. Along with other taxes, this R4,859 million (US$295 million) higher fiscal contribution is significant, particularly during a period when many countries have experienced economic devastation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Group deleveraging was successfully achieved during the year, with borrowings reducing by R5,354 million (US$444 million) to R18,383 million (US$1,251 million) and cash and cash equivalents increasing to R20,240 million (US$1,378 million). On a trailing 12 month basis, adjusted EBITDA increased by 230% to R49,385 million (US$3,000 million) resulting in a net cash: adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.06x compared to net debt: adjusted EBITDA of 1.25x at the end of 2019.
This accelerated deleveraging has significantly de-risked the Group from a financial perspective, addressing what market analysts have continually highlighted as a primary concern and a justification for a relative discount in our investment rating since 2017. Completing this strategic priority allows for a shift in the strategic focus from deleveraging to capital allocation - securing an appropriate balance between consistent and sustained flows of value to stakeholders and allocating capital to ensure the sustainability of the Group and support strategic growth.
After giving due consideration to the successful resumption of operations to normalised operating levels during H2 2020 and the robust financial position of the Group, the Board declared a year-end dividend which delivers a full year dividend to shareholders at the top end of the Group policy range.
Normalised earnings** which are the basis for the declaration of dividends as per the Group dividend policy (see note 9 of the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements), increased by R28,247 million (US$1,696 million), to R30,607 million (US$1,860 million) for 2020 from R2,360 million (US$163 million) in 2019, resulting in the Board declaring full year dividends of R10,713 million (US$649 million) or 371 cents per share (US$25.15 cents per share or US$100.62 cents per ADR). This is equivalent to an approximate dividend yield of 6% at the prevailing share price, well ahead of most peers. Adjusting for the 50 cent per share interim dividend (US$2.94 cents per share or US$11.79 cents per ADR) results in a final dividend for 2020 of approximately R9,375 million (US$649 million) or 321 cents per share. (US$22.21 cents per share or US$88.83 cents per ADR)
** Normalised earnings is defined as earnings attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater excluding gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange differences, impairments, gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, occupational healthcare expense, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment on BEE transaction, gain on acquisition, net other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, after tax, and changes in estimated deferred tax rate. This measure constitutes pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and is the responsibility of the board of directors (Board)
INVESTING FOR SUSTAINABLE VALUE
On 15 February 2020 Group Mineral Resources and Reserves were updated for the year ended 31 December 2020. Of primary significance was the 40% increase in the 4E PGM Mineral reserves at the SA PGM operations to 39.5M 4Eoz, primarily due to the inclusion of 12.7M 4Eoz PGM Mineral Reserves from the K4 project at the Marikana operation and the Klipfontein opencast project (0.1Moz) at the Kroondal operation. Gold Mineral Reserves at the SA gold operations and 2E PGM reserves at the US PGM operations remained stable at 11.3Moz and 26.9M 2Eoz respectively. Following the optimisation of the mining layout and scheduling at the Burnstone Project, combined with estimation model improvements, gold Mineral Reserves for the SA gold projects increased by 8% or 0.3Moz to 4.3Moz.
On 16 February 2021 the Board approved the development of the K4 and Klipfontein projects at the SA PGM operations and the resumption of capital development and equipping at the Burnstone gold project. This represents a significant capital investment of approximately R6.8 billion in high return organic projects in South Africa. The projects have a combined NPV of R5.1 biillion at conservative project prices assumed for the evaluations, which increases significantly to R26.9 billion at current spot prices. In addition to this value add for investors in Sibanye Stillwater, the ancillary benefits for communities and other stakeholders will be significant. Approximately 7,000 jobs will be created and sustained over the life of the projects, with significant financial benefits likely to accrue to local communities and regional and national government
The K4 project is a tier one, low cost, brownfields PGM expansion project at the Marikana operations. The project entails completion of the project, which was significantly advanced by Lonmin with R4.4bn of sunk capex before Lonmin suspended the project due to capital constraints. The K4 project has low execution risk and is expected to be brought into first production within 12 months and reach sustainable annual production of approximately 250,000 4Eoz and at average operating costs of approximately R16,000/4Eoz
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 4
achieved in approximately seven years. Project capital investment of R3.9 billion is relatively low for a project of this scale, resulting in superior NPV of R3 billion and an IRR of 33% with a six-year payback using conservative project price assumptions. The NPV increases seven fold to R21 billion with an IRR of 80% and a four year payback at current spot metal prices.
The Klipfontein project is a small robust open cast PGM opportunity, which will be developed in terms of the existing Pool and Share Agreement (PSA) with Anglo American Platinum at the Kroondal operations. The Klipfontein project will produce approximately 40,000 4Eoz per annum over a three year LoM of with low average operating cost around R9,000 4Eoz. Project capital is estimated at R66 million, predominantly in the first year, yielding a NPV of R738 million and an IRR of 70% using conservative project price assumptions. The NPV increases to R2.1 billion with an IRR of 110% at current spot metal prices.
These projects will deliver significant socio-economic benefits to the Rustenburg region, with the K4 project providing approximately 4,380 jobs at steady state and the Klipfontein project approximately 124 jobs. Both projects will create meaningful opportunities for local procurement, skills transfer and the provision of economic benefits to local SMMEs and local communities. The Klipfontein project will sustain the production profile of Kroondal for longer and the K4 project will ensure the sustainability of the Marikana operations for ~50 years.
The Burnstone project is a low cost, extensively pre-developed gold asset in the Balfour area, Mpumalanga which was previously operated under Great Basin Gold. The project will ramp up over five years to a steady state production of around 130,000oz per annum for 10 years with average operating costs of around R420,000/kg. Project capital investment of R2.3 billion returns an NPV of R1.4 billion and an IRR of 24% with a payback of seven years using conservative project price assumptions. The NPV increases to R3.8 billion with an IRR of 39% at the current spot rand gold price.
The Balfour community is an impoverished community in Mpumalanga facing severe socio-economic challenges, which will benefit significantly from economic investment in the region and the resultant employment. The mine will create 2,500 permanent jobs in an area faced with unemployment exceeding 30% and will create meaningful opportunities for local procurement and SMME development and the transfer of skills.
In addition to these projects approved by the Board, the Group has an extensive pipeline of organic projects including downstream beneficiation opportunities, primarily in South Africa, which could be developed under appropriate conditions. Amongst the projects identified and undergoing further assessment are:
● | At the SA PGM operations, the East 3 shaft, M5 project (old Marikana) decline and East 4 project (Pandora complex) at the Marikana operation, the Siphumelele 1 shaft UG2 project and below infrastructure Merensky extensions on the Thembelani and Khuseleka shafts at the Rustenburg operation and the Meccano chrome project at Kroondal |
● | At the SA gold operations the Bloemhoek project adjacent to the Beatrix operation is undergoing further evaluation with work on the secondary reef projects at the Kloof and Driefontein operations continuing |
Aside from the initial project capital, investment in organic projects of this nature would secure operational sustainability and deliver significant benefits for all stakeholders over many years, creating direct and indirect employment, fostering the development of supplier industries and SMMEs to support the operations, delivering community upliftment and support via SLPs and other social development projects and would contribute significantly to local and national Government in the form of rates, taxes and royalties.
Investing in capital intensive long life projects is not simply a commercially driven decision however, and is influenced by many other considerations other than the incentive pricing of commodities relative to operating costs. These factors include assumptions about the prevailing and future investment environment and the long term operating context, Government policy and regulatory efficiency and other factors which affect the required minimum rate of return or hurdle rate required to justify investment.
The commitment to invest approximately R6.8 billion in the three major capital projects approved by the Board should not be construed as a vote of confidence in the investment climate in South Africa. Continued policy uncertainty, combined with other risks, such as those related to the reliability of water and power availability and the uncertain outlook for electricity costs, as well as risks of social disruption and inefficient regulatory processes are ongoing deterrents to significant investment.
This has been apparent in previous commodity upcycles, where only projects with an extremely strong commercial case can be justified, resulting in SA lagging the rest of the world in terms of investment and growth of its mining sector. The projects we have approved are among the best in the industry due to specific characteristics, which enhance their attractiveness and supported the investment decision. These factors include significant pre-development by previous owners, resulting in relatively low capital to completion, a short lead time to first production and a quick payback on invested capital, which reduces the risk significantly and delivers superior returns. Few projects offer these characteristics and hence investment in the mining sector has been limited in recent years. Roger Baxter, CEO of the Minerals Council recently referred to potential investment of about R20 billion that could be approved by the SA mining industry in a supportive environment – as you can see from the investments we have just declared, this number is likely to be conservative.
A significant effort is going to be required to revitalise and reboot the mining industry and, with it, the national economy. The mining industry remains a critical component of the South African economy with strong multiplier effects into supporting industries and communities, and has the potential to catalyse and drive much needed growth, particularly with the increasingly positive outlook for a sustained period of higher commodity prices.
An example of this potential can be seen in recent reports which suggest that estimated South African tax revenue receipts for 2020 may be close to R300 billion, delivering a surplus of up to R100 billion more than prior projections of R200 billion for 2020. A significant component of this windfall can be attributed to increased royalty and tax receipts from the mining industry, which was the first to resume commercial activity after the lockdown in April 2020 and benefited from rising commodity prices in the latter part of the year. This is evident in a significant increase in royalties and taxes for the Group during 2020 as previously pointed out, which increased by 213% or R4,860 million (US$295 million) year on year, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This surplus income is a welcome boon for the South African economy, which has been struggling financially for some time and was dealt a severe blow by COVID-19.
It is clear that the mining industry plays a critical role in the South African economy and could be the driver of much needed, but until now, absent economic growth. With an increasingly positive outlook for a sustained period of higher commodity prices, the
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 5
mining industry could be a strong driver of South Africa’s economic recovery. This potential will only be fully realised in a much more supportive environment however – one which incentivises, attracts and provides security for long term investment.
We have a significant opportunity as a country, which we cannot afford to squander. The private sector in South Africa has indicated its readiness to participate in the renewal of the economy. It will require significant courage and change from Government and other stakeholders to facilitate this.
OUTLOOK
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic global economy during 2020 was profound and led to an approximate 14% decline in global demand for platinum, palladium and rhodium. The impact of this decline in demand on PGM prices was short lived however, with prices recovering rapidly at the end of Q1 2020, following the imposition of the countrywide lockdown in South Africa from late March 2020. The suspension of mining until May, followed by a gradual buildup of production during the remainder of the year, resulted in global primary platinum, palladium and rhodium supply declining by approximately 11% for 2020, largely offsetting the drop in demand. Secondary supply from recycling was also 10% lower due to COVID-19 related restrictions, which affected global recycling logistics, as well as fewer vehicles being scrapped. Converter plant failures at Anglo American Platinum’s processing operations in Q1 2020 and Q4 2020 exacerbated the supply shortfall from South Africa, with the second outage adding to an already tight market and driving PGM prices higher at year end and into 2021.
We expect sustained palladium deficits into 2024, supported by recovering auto sales and tightening emissions regulations in key markets, resulting in increased autocatalyst loadings. Thereafter, we forecast growing palladium surpluses as new mine supply comes online (from our US PGM operations and from Norilsk Nickel), and substitution of palladium with platinum in gasoline autocatalysts accelerates.
Conversely, we expect platinum market surpluses to narrow over the first half of the decade, with deficits forecast from 2024. This is largely due to the effect of substitution and declining production from SA. Our three-year investment into research and development (R&D) of a tri-metal catalyst for gasoline cars, together with BASF, has been successful. The tri-metal catalyst is able to replace palladium with platinum in a 1:1 ratio. Based on current uptake estimates substitution of palladium with platinum could increase to over 1Moz by 2025. Better alignment of the PGM basket demand with supply will provide longer-term sustainability and greater price stability. Growing acceptance of substitution in gasoline autocatalysts and increasing investment interest in the hydrogen economy has resulted in the platinum price achieving multi-year highs in 2021. We expect the platinum price to be well supported, with significant upside over the next 5 years.
Rhodium’s sustained market deficits and runaway prices are a growing concern in the absence of investment into new supply or alternative catalysts to meet tightening emissions regulation. We believe that R&D into substitution of rhodium must be considered over the near term.
The near to medium term fundamental outlook for PGMs is robust. As the largest primary producer and recycler of PGMs in the world, Sibanye-Stillwater’s investments into high return, organic growth projects positions us well to support PGM demand driven by increasing social pull and regulatory drive for a cleaner environment. Aspirational climate change targets in Europe and other parts of the world have raised investor interest in the hydrogen economy. Longer-term production of green hydrogen for industrial use is supportive of demand for both platinum and iridium.
With the medium term evolution of the automobile drive train from internal combustion engines (ICE) to greener technologies, such as battery electric, fuel cell electric and hybrid vehicles, we continue to monitor and evaluate the sector for entry points that meet our strategic objectives.
As our customers’ needs change, the opportunity for us to further build on our mining platform and diversify our offering will ensure that we remain a preferred supplier of strategic metals for tomorrow’s powertrains.
OPERATING GUIDANCE FOR 2021
A meaningful increase in mined 2E PGM production from the US PGM operations is forecast for 2021. Mined 2E PGM production is forecast to be between 660,000 2Eoz and 680,000 2Eoz, with AISC of between US$840/2Eoz to US$860/2Eoz. Capital expenditure is forecast to be between US$300 million and US$320 million, approximately 60% of which is growth capital in nature.
4E PGM production from the SA PGM operations for 2021 is forecast to be between 1,750,000 4Eoz and 1,850,000 4Eoz with AISC between R18,500/4Eoz and R19,500/4Eoz (US$1,230/4Eoz and US$1,295/4Eoz). Capital expenditure is forecast at R 3,800 million (US$ 253 million) with levels for 2021 elevated due to carry over of approximately R800 million (US$53 million) of capital from 2020 which was unspent due to the COVID-19 disruptions. In addition, R1,500 million (US$100 million) of project capital expenditure is expected following the approval of the K4 and Klipfontein projects.
Gold production from the SA gold operations for 2020 is forecast at between 27,500kg (884,000oz) and 29,500kg (948,000oz) with AISC between R760,000/kg and R815,000/kg (US$1,576/oz and US$1,690/oz). Capital expenditure is forecast at 4,025 million (US$268 million), including carry over of approximately R400 million (US$27 million) of capital from 2020 which was unspent due to the COVID-19 disruptions. R425 million (US$28 million) of project capital expenditure has been provided for the Burnstone project.
The dollar costs are based on an average exchange rate of R15.00/US$.

Safe PRODUCTION
Safe production is a Group imperative and the Group remains committed to achieving zero harm in the work place. Recent safe performance achievements suggest that this goal is attainable and we continue to refine and adapt our safe production strategy and protocols. The Group safety performance for 2020 was sound, considering the significant disruption and distractions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Group Serious Injury Frequency Rate continuing to decline, falling from 4.68 in 2015 to 3.03 in 2020 and the Total Injury Frequency Rate (TIFR) of 8.52 up from 8.40 in 2019, but showing an overall 18% improvement compared with 2015, despite the significant growth in the company since then.
The loss of nine of our colleagues during the year, due to fatal incidents at the SA operations, caused significant distress throughout the Group. After recording zero fatalities during Q2 2020 and the SA gold operations achieving a record and remarkable milestone of 13 million fatality free shifts (FFS) over a close to two year period prior, the Group suffered five fatalities at the SA gold and PGM operations during H2 2020, with four fatalities previously occurring at the SA PGM operations in Q1 2020.
The Board and management of Sibanye Stillwater extend their sincere condolences to the family and friends of our fallen colleagues at the SA Gold and PGM operations: Mr Jaoa Silindane, Mr Khulile Nashwa, Mr Emanoel Kaphe, Mr Rossofino Manhavele, Mr Mfuneko Manikela, Mr Bonginkosi Hlophe, Mr Hlopang Temeki, Mr Cebo Gungthwa and Mr Erens Mello. All incidents have been thoroughly investigated together with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that they are not repeated and appropriate support provided to the families.
The SA PGM operations also experienced a TIFR at 9.20, an increase from 7.84 for 2019, largely due to a regression in H2 2020, with the return to work from the COVID-19 lockdown, but in line with the figures going back to 2014. On 8 Dec 2020 the SA PGM operations plants and concentrators achieved a significant milestone of 13 million FFS.
The US PGM operations reported further improvement in safe production achieving a notable milestone of 3 million fatality free shifts having operated without any fatal incidents since October 2011.
An overall improvement in the safe production performance for the SA gold operations was marred by four fatal incidents in H2 2020 after close to two years’ operating without any fatalities. The TIFR for 2020 6.99 was the lowest level for the SA Gold operations since inception.
US PGM operations
Mined 2E PGM production for 2020 of 603,067 2Eoz, was 2% higher than for the comparable period in 2019, although 3% below the lower end of revised production guidance for 2020, with the state of Montana significantly impacted by the second wave of COVID-19 infections during Q4 2020. AISC for 2020 increased by 11% to US$874/2Eoz due to significantly higher sustaining capital which increased by 32% year-on-year to US$124 million; higher royalties, taxes and insurance which increased by approximately US$24 million (US$38/2Eoz of the AISC increase) due to a 36% higher 2E PGM average basket price at US$1,906/2Eoz and unbudgeted COVID-19 costs (approximately US$6 million or US$10/2Eoz). Despite COVID-19 challenges, total development increased by 3% year-on- year to 27,038m, with development rates improving towards year-end.
The Fill The Mill (FTM) project at the East Boulder mine was brought in on time achieving a sustainable annual run rate of 40,000 oz per annum in December 2020.
3E PGM recycling for 2020 decreased by 2% to 840,170 3Eoz primarily due to lower deliveries for Q2 2020 as a result of the disrupted supply chains earlier in the year. Recycling receipts increased significantly during Q4 as supply chains normalised.
The recycling operations fed an average of 26.4 tonnes per day of spent catalysts in 2020, 2% lower than 2019, but the rate picked up from 25.4 tonnes in H1 2020 to 27.5 tonnes per day in H2 2020, consistent with rates in H2 2019. Increased recycling receipts resulted in recycling inventory building to approximately 600 tonnes in Q3 2020 before being drawn down to approximately 400 tonnes by year end. Recycling inventory is expected to normalise to below 200 tonnes during H1 2021, with a resultant release of working capital.
The average 2E PGM basket price of US$1,906/2Eoz for 2020 was 36% higher than for 2019, resulting in adjusted EBITDA from US PGM operations of US$795 million, 58% higher than for 2019. The recycling operation contributed approximately US$53 million to this total.
Capital expenditure for 2020 was 15% higher than for 2019 at US$269 million with sustaining capital 32% higher at US$124 million and growth capital 3% higher at US$145 million mainly incurred at Stillwater East (SWE) and in completing the FTM project.
Mined PGM production of 305,327 2Eoz for H2 2020 was 1% lower than the comparable period in 2019 but 3% higher than H1 2020. Production from the Stillwater mine (including Stillwater West (SWW) and SWE) for H2 2020 was 194,461 2Eoz, 1% higher than the comparable period in 2019. East Boulder (EB) delivered 110,865 2Eoz for H2 2020, 5% lower than for 2019 due to lower grades and COVID-19 related production shortfalls.
There was an improvement in most operational metrics towards year end, with an increase of 16% in development rates in H2 2020 relative to H1 2020 and a 23% increase relative to H2 2019, consistent with the renewed focus on increasing operational flexibility at SWE. AISC of US$882/2Eoz for H2 2020 was 11% higher than for H2 2019 largely due to lower PGM production, higher ground support costs and higher sustaining capital. As a result of the 31% increase in the average basket price for H2 2020 to US$1,970/2Eoz, royalties and taxes increased, accounting for approximately US$42/2Eoz of the AISC increase. COVID-19 related expenditures of approximately US$3 million were incurred in H2 2020.
Blitz project update
As previously updated, the operating review on the Stillwater East (SWE)(Blitz) project has indicated a delay of up to two years, with production from SWE expected to reach the steady state run rate of approximately 300,000 2Eoz per annum in 2024. SWE has experienced various operational challenges and disruptions over the last 18 months, including:
● | ground conditions neccessitated modifications to mining methods and ground support to ensure safe extraction |
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 7
● | ventilation constraints temporarily resulted in concentrated mining fronts leading to sporadic elevated DPM levels that required ventilation modifications to remedy |
● | higher than expected water ingress requires extensive grouting campaigns negatively impacting primary and secondary development efficiencies |
● | COVID-19 negatively affected productivity and caused equipment and material delays as a result of associated supply chain challenges. As a consequence capital projects not on the project critical path, were delayed in the interest of contractor deployment efficiency. Key project build components were also negatively impacted by some suppliers of key project components declaring of force majeure |
Following a review, replanning and subsequent project optimisation undertaken during H2 2020, we are confident that a run rate of 300,000 2Eoz per annum will be achieved in 2024. The delay in the production build-up does impact on forecast capital and operating costs. Approximately US$375 million project capital will be required to reach steady state production in the next three years of with AISC for the total US PGM operations is forecast to reduce to an average of US$750/2Eoz (2021 monetary terms) once steady state production at SWE is achieved, including around US$210/oz of annual stay in business capital.
SA PGM operations
The operational performance from the SA PGM operations was commendable considering the sizeable challenges and operating adjustments required during the year. 4E PGM production of 1,576,507 4Eoz for 2020 (including attributable ounces from Mimosa), 9% above the upper limit of revised annual guidance of 1.35 – 1.45 million 4Eoz, production building back to pre COVID rates by November 2020, well ahead of expectations with PGM production for H2 2020 40% higher than for H1 2020. Production for 2020 was 2% lower than 2019 but due to the acquisition of Lonmin in June 2019 it is not directly comparable.
Considering the impact of COVID-19 on production and additional COVID-19 costs, costs for 2020 were well contained with AISC of R18,280/4Eoz (US$1,111/4Eoz) below revised market guidance of R18,500-R20,500/4Eoz. As a result of the transition of the Rustenburg operation from a purchase of concentrate (PoC) processing arrangement with Anglo American Platinum to toll processing (explained in 2019 in detail) as well as the inclusion of Marikana from June 2019, which significantly impacted AISC on a production weighted basis, full year AISC comparison for the full year 2020 with 2019 is not appropriate. Comparing AISC for H2 2020 with H2 2019 is more representative. AISC of R17,586/4Eoz (US$1,082/4Eoz) for H2 2020 was 11% higher than for H2 2019, primarily due to lower production year-on-year (6% lower due to the build-up after the COVID-19 lockdown) and higher royalties, which added R975 million or R1,061/4Eoz (US$65/4Eoz) to AISC.
Capital expenditure of R2,197 million (US$133 million) for 2020 was lower than guidance of R3,100 million (US$214 million) at the beginning of the year due to the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the operations. The capital underspend in 2020 will be caught up during 2021, including delayed equipment deliveries such as trackless mobile machinery rebuilds for mechanised operations, fire retardant belting and tailing facilities rehabilitation at Marikana operations.
Underpinned by the consistently strong operational performance and significantly higher PGM prices, with the average 4E PGM basket price of R36,651/4Eoz (US$2,227/4Eoz) for 2020, 83% higher than for 2019, profitability from the SA PGM operations was significantly higher. Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 of R29,075 million (US$1,767 million) was 231% higher than adjusted EBITDA of R8,796 million (US$608 million) for 2019, with the average adjusted EBITDA margin increasing from 32% for 2019 to 53% in 2020.
With the production from the SA PGM operations having returned to normalised pre-COVID -19 levels during Q4 2020 and with the PGM basket price continuing to increase during Q1 2021, the operating and financial outlook for 2021 is extremely positive. At spot price 15 February 2021, the SA PGM 4E revenue basket is around R47,300/4Eoz with Rhodium comprising 55%, palladium 23% and platinum 21% respectively of the basket revenue.
H2 2020 Chrome sales of 1,108k tonnes were lower than the 1,286k tonnes in H2 2019. Chrome revenue of R924 million (US$57 million) for H2 2020 was slightly higher than chrome revenue of R903 million (US$61 million) for H2 2019 despite the chrome price reducing from US$143/tonne in H2 2019 to US$140/tonne in H2 2020, as a result of the 11% weakening of the R/US$.
4E PGM production of 918,679 4Eoz for H2 2020 declined by 6% relative to the comparable period in 2019 with AISC 11% higher to R17,586/4Eoz (US$1,082/4Eoz). This was impressive given the controlled and phased production build-up, post the COVID-19 lockdown in Q2 2020. H2 2020 adjusted EBITDA increased by 197% to R20,024 million (US$1,224 million) with Marikana alone generating adjusted EBITDA of R8,901 million (US$544 million), an extraordinary feat given an acquisition price of R4,307 million (US$290 million) in June 2019. Capital expenditure of R1,383 million (US$85 million) for H2 2020 was 18% lower than H2 2019 with ORD 12% lower and sustaining capital 22% lower, due to the phased production build up.
4E PGM production from the Rustenburg operation of 337,392 4Eoz was 5% lower than for H2 2019. Underground production declined by 8% year-on-year to 303,489 4Eoz due to the phased build-up in production post COVID-19. A focus on surface production to offset lower underground production resulted in surface tons milled increasing by 23% to 2.81 million tons with 4E PGM production from surface sources increasing by 39% to 33,903 4Eoz. AISC at the Rustenburg operations increased by 18% year-on-year to R17,939/4Eoz (US$1,103/4Eoz), primarily due to lower production and R614 million (US$38 million) or R1,820/4Eoz (US$111/4Eoz) higher inventories than 2019. In addition there was a R390 million (US$24 million) or R1,156/4Eoz (US$71/4Eoz) increase in royalties due to higher PGM basket revenues.
Kroondal’s performance was solid considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations. Attributable 4E PGM production for H2 2020 of 114,412 4Eoz was 14% lower than for the comparable period in 2019, reflecting the phased production build-up after the COVID-19 lockdown. As a result of the mechanised and less labour intensive nature of underground mining at Kroondal, the operation was less impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown and able to ramp up production quicker than the conventional mines at the Rustenburg and Marikana operations. Kroondal’s AISC of R13,066/4Eoz (US$804/4Eoz) for H2 2020, was 16% higher than the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to lower production volumes as a result of COVID-19 disruptions higher royalties and COVID related costs.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 8
The integration of the Marikana operation progressed smoothly notwithstanding the COVID-19 interruptions, delivering corporate and operational synergies of approximately R1.83 billion per annum by year end, well above initial transaction estimates of approximately R730 million per annum . 4E PGM production for H2 2020 of 381,838 4Eoz was 11% lower than for H2 2019, primarily due to the phased return to production following the COVID-19 lockdown in Q2 2020, which was achieved by November 2020.
Underground production was 14% lower year-on-year with surface operations granted a priority status during the lockdown period to compensate for reduced underground activity during the build-up. Surface production increased by 23% for H2 2020 relative to H2 2019 to 45,876 4Eoz. AISC of R18,970/4Eoz (US$1,167/4Eoz) was 7% higher than H2 2019 due to lower 4E PGM production. Similar to Rustenburg, higher royalties and inventory costs associated with higher PGM prices were partially offset by 36% and 19% lower sustaining capital and ORD respectively, relative to H2 2019. Marikana’s by-product credit was also R1,483 million (US$91 million) higher than H2 2019 due to toll and purchase of concentrate processing during the initial ACP failure. Marikana paid R583 million (US$36 million) higher royalties or R1,527/4Eoz (US$94/4Eoz) due to higher PGM basket revenues.
Attributable 4E PGM production from Mimosa of 62,417 4Eoz was 10% higher than for H2 2019 due to a mill breakdown during H2 2019. Mimosa has maintained a steady performance albeit with AISC increasing by 19% to US$900/4Eoz (R14,627/4Eoz) due to a 46% increase in sustaining capital.
The K4 and Klipfontein PGM projects
The K4 project is a tier one, low cost, brownfields PGM expansion project at the Marikana operations. The project entails completion of the project, which was significantly advanced by Lonmin with R4.4bn of sunk capex before Lonmin suspended the project due to capital constraints. The K4 project has low execution risk and is expected to be brought into first production within 12 months
The salient points of the K4 project include:
● | Steady state production of around 250,000 4Eoz per annum at an average operating cost of around R16,000/4Eoz |
● | Approximately 11.5M 4Eoz expected to be produced over a 50 year life of Mine (LoM), mining Merensky and UG2 reefs to a depth of 1,287m |
● | Project capital investment of R3.9 billion for infrastructure completion, on and off reef development and a tailings storage facility (TSF). Peak funding R1.67 billion |
● | Existing infrastructure: |
− | Main vertical shaft equipped and functional to 1,332m |
− | Ventilation shaft equipped and functional to 1,078m |
− | Functional 130,000 tpm concentrator |
− | Surface infrastructure such as offices, change houses, refrigeration plants and grout plants |
− | Underground stations and station crosscuts |
● | The project returns a NPV (at a 15% real discount rate) of approximately R3 billion with an IRR of 33% and a six year payback on invested capital at long term assumed project prices of: platinum (US$880/oz), palladium (US$1,600/oz), rhodium (US$5,650/oz) and a R15,0/US$ exchange rate |
● | The NPV increases to approximately R21 billion with the IRR increasing to approximately 80% at spot prices on 9 February 2021 of: platinum (US$1,130/oz), palladium (US$2,340/oz), rhodium (US$21,800/oz) and a R15.00/US$ exchange rate |
The Klipfontein project is a small robust open cast PGM opportunity, which will be developed in terms of the existing Pool and Share Agreement (PSA) with Anglo American Platinum at the Kroondal operations.
The salient points of the Klipfontein project include:
● | Shallow open pit operation, producing approximately 40,000 4Eoz per annum over a three year LoM, with low average operating cost of around R9,000/4Eoz |
● | Mining UG2 reef to a depth of 45m |
● | Project capital investment of R66 million |
● | Ore will be mined by a contractor and treated at the K2 concentrator |
● | The project returns a NPV (15% real discount rate) of R738 million assuming the same project price parameters outlined above, an IRR of 70% and with a payback on invested capital of less than a year |
● | At spot metal prices on 9 February 2021 (as detailed above), the NPV increases to R2.1 billion and the IRR to 110% |
● | Awaiting S102 approval from the DMRE |
These projects will deliver significant socio-economic benefits to the Rustenburg region, with the K4 project providing approximately 4,380 jobs at steady state and the Klipfontein project approximately 124 jobs. Both projects will create meaningful opportunities for local procurement, skills transfer and the provision of economic benefits to local SMMEs and local communities. The Klipfontein project will sustain the production profile of Kroondal for longer and the K4 project will ensure the sustainability of the Marikana operations for ~50 years.
SA gold operations
Gold production for 2020 from the SA gold operations (including DRDGOLD) increased by 5% to 30,561kg (982,559oz) with production from the managed SA Gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) of 25,190kg (809,877oz), 3% above the upper end of revised guidance for the year and only 13% below the lower end of initial pre-COVID-19 guidance for 2020. This was primarily due to the operations achieving normalised production levels from the COVID-19 lockdown sooner than expected.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 9
Total tons milled for 2020 declined by 1% compared to 2019, with the yield increasing by 6% to 0.74g/t driven by an 8% increase in underground yield to 5.22g/t. This was a function of the preferential deployment of returning employees to higher grade areas in order to maximise revenue post lockdown. With underground operations back to full production in November 2020, we expect to see underground yields moderating to long term averages.
AISC for the SA gold operations (including DRD Gold) were well contained for 2020 despite the initial disruptive impact of COVID-19, increased by 4% to 743,967/kg (US$1,406/oz) compared to 2019 (9% lower in USD terms, from US$1,455/oz to US$1,406/oz). This was despite ORD expenditure and sustaining capital increasing by 34% and 88% respectively for 2020 compared with 2019, which was affected by the strike in the first half of the year. Capital spend on ORD and sustaining capital is likely to remain elevated until 2023 due to catch up from the 2019 and 2020 disruptions in order to maintain mining. In addition to the above costs which impacted AISC, royalties for the SA Operations (excluding DRD Gold) and community costs increased by 93% to R142 million and 138% to R135 million respectively.
This solid operational performance together with a 43% higher average gold price received of R924,764/kg (US$1,747/oz) for 2020, resulted in the adjusted EBITDA margin for the SA gold operations increasing to 28% for 2020 compared with a negative 5% adjusted EBITDA margin for 2019 and a significantly higher positive adjusted EBITDA of R7,770 million (US$472 million) compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of R969 million (US$67 million) for 2019. Approximately 78% of adjusted EBITDA for 2020 was generated in H2 2020 which was a more representative period, suggesting significant upside for 2021.
Production for H2 2020 (including DRDGOLD) declined by 2% year-on-year to 18,007/kg (578,939oz) with production from the managed operations (excluding DRDGOLD) of 15,023kg (483,001oz) 1% lower as a result of the phased build-up post the COVID-19 lockdown. Total gold sold (excluding DRDGOLD) of 14,653kg (471,105oz) was 6% (991kg) lower than for the same period in 2019 with 695kg (2019: 219kg) of unsold gold at the end of the current financial period.
AISC for the SA gold operations (including DRDGOLD) increased by 11% to R704,355/kg (US$1,347/oz), primarily due to lower production and higher royalty and COVID-19 related costs. In addition ORD costs were 4% higher due to an increase in off-reef development as well as sustaining capital, which increased by 38% as a result of overhead cost reduction projects at the Kloof operation gaining momentum.
Capital expenditure for H2 2020 for SA gold Operations (including DRDGOLD) increased by 15% year-on-year to R1,889 million (US$116 million) largely driven by increased capital investment by DRDGOLD where capital expenditure increased by 363% to R202million (US$12million). Capital expenditure at SA gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) increased by 6% to R1,687million (US104million) with ORD expenditure increasing by 4% year-on-year to R1,101 million (US$68 million) and sustaining capital by 10% to R443million (US$27million).
Underground production from the Driefontein operation increased by 11% to 4,931kg (158,535oz) year-on-year due to improved productivity and efficiencies despite crews being on average at a 20% lower complement than normal. Production from the Driefontein surface operation ceased in 2019, but surface material from the Kloof operations was toll treated at the Driefontein metallurgical plant during 2020. AISC for H2 2020 was 1% higher at R701,129/kg (US$1,341/oz) due to increased gold production offset by significantly higher royalties and community costs. Despite sustaining capital declining by 25% year-on-year, ORD spending increased by 8% year-on-year.
The Kloof operation performed solidly for H2 2020 with gold production increasing by 8% to 6,495kg (208,819oz). Underground production increased by 6% year-on-year to 5,493kg (177,604oz) with tons milled declining by 4% due to the gradual build-up in mining crews post lockdown. This was offset by underground yield increasing by 10% to 5.8g/t. Productivity increased with increased square meters mined despite the crews being on average 12% lower than the same period last year. The increase in grade can be attributed to crews initially being deployed to the highest-grade sections post lockdown following improved access to higher grade panels, which were unavailable in H2 2019 due to a fire and seismic events. Surface production at the Kloof operations increased by 20% to 1,002kg (32,215oz) with tons milled 9% higher for H2 2020 than for H2 2019 due to higher surface volumes being processed as a result of the additional capacity in the plants due to the slower start-up of underground mining and surface throughput from Kloof toll treated at the Driefontein and Ezulwini metallurgical plants. AISC at Kloof for H2 2020 1% higher at R722,845/kg (US$1,383/oz), due to increased gold production offsetting higher royalties and community cost and ORD and sustaining capital increases of 2% and 32% respectively.
Gold production from the Beatrix operation declined by 28% in H2 2020 compared to H2 2019 as a result of the slower start-up post lockdown with a high percentage of workers coming from neighbouring countries and restrictions at border posts. Underground gold production decreased by 31% to 2,799kg (89,990oz) with tons milled declining by 29% and yield declining 2% due to the slow start-up of the higher grade No 4 shaft. Gold production from surface sources increased by 127% to 150kg (4,823oz) as additional milling capacity was available for surface material and the higher gold price reduced the surface material pay limits. Beatrix’s AISC for H2 2020 increased 45% year-on-year to R812,018/kg (US$1,553/oz) largely due to the 31% decrease in gold sold coupled with higher sustaining capital which increased 17% year-on-year and higher royalties and community costs.
No underground material was processed in H2 2020 for the Cooke operations, which amounted to a drop of 16kg (514oz) from the previous period. Surface gold production increased by 2% to 648kg (20,834oz) with tons milled increasing by 20% and offsetting a 16% drop in yield. The volume increase is due to the higher percentage contribution from slimes following the depletion of the larger material on the sand and rock dumps. Care and maintenance cost at Cooke operations increased by 11% year-on-year to R315 million (US$19 million) as a result of the water purification project at Cooke 1 shaft and additional security cost to secure assets.
The Burnstone gold project
The Burnstone project is a low cost, extensively pre-developed gold asset in the Balfour area, Mpumalanga which was previously operated under Great Basin Gold.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 10
The salient points of the Burnstone project include:
● | A relatively shallow underground operation, mining the Kimberley reef to an average depth of approximately 550m below surface |
● | Project capital investment of R2.3 billion primarily to complete underground infrastructure and acquire trackless mobile machinery |
● | Production of 2.03 Moz gold over a 20 year life |
● | The project will ramp up over five years to a steady state production of around 130,000 oz per annum for 10 years with average operating costs of around R420,000/kg |
● | Existing infrastructure includes: |
− | A functional metallurgical facility |
− | Established TSF |
− | Equipped and functional vertical shaft and trackless decline |
− | Surface infrastructure such as offices, workshops, compressors etc. |
− | Extensive underground development and infrastructure |
● | The project NPV (15% real discount rate) is approximately R1.4 billion with an IRR of 24% and a payback of 7 years at an assume gold price of $1,500/oz and exchange rate of R15/US$ |
● | The NPV increases to approximately R3.8 billion with the IRR increasing to approximately 39% at spot prices on 9 February 2021 of: gold US$1,840/oz and a R15,0/US$ exchange rate |

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (H2 2020) COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 (H2 2019)
The President of the Republic of South Africa announced a nation-wide lockdown from midnight 26 March 2020, which was amended through a notice published by the South African government on 16 April 2020 allowing for our South African mining operations to be conducted at a reduced capacity of not more than 50%. From 17 April 2020, management commenced implementing its strategy to mobilise the required employee complement to safely ramp up production at our South African operations to the initial restricted 50%. Subsequent directives issued by the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy and the easing of lockdown restrictions allowed for the controlled ramp up of production under stringent regulations. As a result, significant differences between the periods include the lower production levels at the SA gold and SA PGM operations during H2 2020 while safely mobilising employees and ramping up production. By the end of H2 2020 the SA gold and SA PGM operations successfully reached near pre-COVID-19 production levels.
The reporting currency for the Group is SA rand (rand) and the functional currency of the US PGM operations is US dollar. Direct comparability of the Group results between the two periods is distorted as the results of the US PGM operations are translated to rand at the average exchange rate, which for H2 2020 was R16.26/US$ or 11% weaker than for H2 2019 (R14.69/US$).
The revenue, cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation, net other cash costs, adjusted EBITDA and amortisation and depreciation are set out in the table below:

Revenue
Revenue increased by 47% to R72,374 million (US$4,439 million), mainly due to higher commodity prices partially offset by lower sales volumes at the SA operations.
Revenue from the US PGM operations increased by 28% to US$1,363 million or 42% to R22,138 million in rand terms, due to a 31% increase in the average US dollar 2E basket price, a 1% increase in mined ounces sold and a 11% weaker rand, partially offset by a 19% decrease in recycled ounces. At the SA PGM operations, revenue increased by 57% to R33,477 million (US$2,050 million) due to a 80% higher average rand 4E basket price, partially offset by a 14% or 133,330 4Eoz decrease in PGMs sold. The lower sales volumes at our SA PGM operations in H2 2020 was mainly due to lower production volumes during Q3 2020 whilst ramping up to normal production levels post the COVID-19 lockdown.
Revenue from the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD increased by 34% to R14,103 million (US$864 million) mainly due to a 43% higher rand gold price, partially offset by 6% or 31,861oz decrease in gold sold. Revenue from DRDGOLD increased by 41% to R2,978 million (US$183 million) due to a 42% higher rand gold price received.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation increased by 7% to R38,051 million (US$2,341 million). Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations increased by 21% to US$927 million (R15,038 million) due to US$131 million (R3,001 million) higher recycling costs and higher royalties paid of approximately US$71/oz, both highly correlated to the increased PGM commodity prices. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations decreased by 10% to R12,648 million (US$778 million) due to a 6% or 61,664 4Eoz decline in production volumes and synergies realised following the integration of the Marikana operation.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD increased marginally by 1% or R61 million to R8,739 million (US$537 million) due to increased labour costs. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation from DRDGOLD increased by 13% to R1,626 million (US$100 million) due to an increase in tons treated.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 12
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA includes other cash costs, care and maintenance costs; lease payments; strike costs and corporate social investment costs (CSI) (refer note 11.2 of the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for a reconciliation of profit/(loss) before royalties and tax to adjusted EBITDA) . Care and maintenance costs for H2 2020 were R315 million (US$19 million) at Cooke (H2 2019: R283 million (US$19 million)); R56 million (US$3 million) at Marikana (H2 2019: R168 million (US$12 million)) and R41 million (US$3 million) at Burnstone (H2 2019: R10 million (US$1 million)). Lease payments of R75 million (US$5 million) (H2 2019: R81 million (US$6 million)) are included in line with the debt covenant formula. CSI costs were R165 million (US$10 million) (H2 2019: R91 million (US$6 million)) and for H2 2020 there were insignificant strike related costs (H2 2019: R27 million (US$2 million).
The adjusted EBITDA for all operations increased significantly due to higher average commodity prices achieved during H2 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA is shown in the graphs below:
Amortisation and depreciation
Amortisation and depreciation decreased by 3% to R4,149 million (US$255 million). Amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations increased by 6% in US dollar terms to US$86 million due to more capital items being placed into service and at the SA PGM operations decreased by 3% to R1,168 million (US$72 million) due to a decrease in production. Amortisation and depreciation at the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD decreased by 18% to R1,488 million (US$91 million) mainly due to a 1% decrease in production and the deferral of capital expenditure from H1 2020. Amortisation and depreciation at DRDGOLD increased by 13% to R95 million (US$6 million) due to increased capital expenditure during H2 2020 at the Far West Gold Recoveries tailings retreatment operation.
Finance expense
Finance expense decreased by R289 million (US$29 million) mainly due to a decrease in interest on borrowings of R227 million (US$14 million), decrease in the unwinding of amortised cost on borrowings of R17 million (US$1 million), decrease in the unwinding of the finance costs on the deferred revenue transactions of R33 million (US$2 million), decrease in interest on the occupational healthcare obligation of R13 million (US$1 million), decrease in the other interest of R14 million (US$1 million) and partly offset by an increase in the unwinding of the environmental rehabilitation obligation of R15 million (US$1 million). Refer to note 3 of the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for a breakdown of finance expenses.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s outstanding gross debt at the end of H2 2020 was 23% lower at R18,383 million (US$1,251 million). The lower outstanding debt was mainly due to the settlement of the US$ convertible bond, a R2,500 million net repayment on the R5.5 billion RCF, partially offset by an increase of R1,266 million on the US$600 million RCF.
Loss on financial instruments
The net loss on financial instruments of R4,004 million (US$242 million) for H2 2020 compared with the loss of R5,480 million (US$378 million) for H2 2019, represents a period-on-period net gain of R1,476 million (US$136 million). The net loss for H2 2020 is mainly attributable to fair value losses on the US$ Convertible Bond derivative financial instrument and the revised cash flow of the Anglo deferred payment of R2,164 million (US$133 million) and R2,081 (US$128 million), respectively.
Loss on settlement of the US$ Convertible bond financial instrument
During October 2020 the US$ Convertible bond was settled through cash of R13 million and the issue of shares with a fair value of R12,573.2 million, resulting in a loss on settlement of R1,507 million (US$93 million).
Non-recurring items
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs of R179 million (US$11 million) for H2 2020 mainly related to ill health retrenchments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic at the SA PGM and SA gold operations of R75 million (US$5 million) and R100 million (US$6 million), respectively.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs of R42 million (US$3 million) for H2 2020 mainly included legal and advisory fees of R42 million (US$3 million); platinum jewellery membership fees of R23 million (US$1 million) and legal and advisory fees related to restructuring of the Marikana legal
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 13
entities of R8 million (US$1 million), partially offset by a R39 million (US$2 million) reversal of the provision for legal fees related to the Stillwater Mining Company dissenting shareholders’ claim.
Mining and income tax
The Group’s current tax expense increased by 195% from R1,192 million (US$82 million) to R3,523 million (US$216 million) due to higher profitability for the period at all operations mainly as a result of higher PGM basket and gold prices.
The deferred tax credit decreased from R784 million (US$51 million) in H2 2019 to R716 million (US$43 million). The deferred tax credit in H2 2020 is mainly attributable to the recognition of previously unrecognised deferred tax assets for the Marikana operation.
The effective tax rate of 12% is lower than the South African statutory company tax rate of 28%. The lower effective tax rate is mainly attributable to the impact of utilising and recognising previously unrecognised deferred tax assets of 15% or R3,613 million (US$222 million), a lower statutory tax rate applicable to the US PGM operations impacting the Group’s effective tax rate by 1% or R312 million (US$19 million) and the non-taxable equity accounted income from associates of 1% or R340 million (US$21 million), net other non-taxable income and non-deductible expenditure of 2% or R504 million (US$31 million), partially offset by a non-deductible loss on financial instruments of 4% or R851 million (US$52 million). The Group’s effective tax rate of 40% for H2 2019 was higher than the South African statutory company tax rate of 28% mainly due to the non-deductible loss on fair value of financial instruments.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Sibanye-Stillwater board of directors has declared and approved a cash dividend of 321 SA cents per ordinary share (US 22.2067 cents* per share or US 88.8268 cents* per ADR) or approximately R9,375 million (US$649 million*) in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2020 (“Final dividend”). The Board applied the solvency and liquidity test and reasonably concluded that the company will satisfy that test immediately after completing the proposed distribution.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s dividend policy is to return at least 25% to 35% of normalised earnings to shareholders. Normalised earnings is defined as earnings attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater excluding gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange differences, impairments, gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, occupational healthcare expense, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment on BEE transaction, gain on acquisition, net other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, after tax, and changes in estimated deferred tax rate.
The total dividend declared of 371 cents (Final dividend: 321 SA cents and Interim dividend: 50 SA cents) equates to 35% of normalised earnings for the year ended 2020.

Average exchange rates for the six months ended 31 December 2020, 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 were R16.26/US$, R16.67/US$ and R14.69/US$, respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above |
2 | During the six months of June 2020, sales were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however Mimosa continued production of PGM concentrate that resulted in a build up of concentrate stockpile. A difference arose whereby the Mimosa 4Eoz sold during the six months of June 2020 was included as equal to the produced 4Eoz in the six months ended 30 June 2020 salient feature tables. The effect of this difference resulted in sold 4Eoz for the six months of June 2020 being reported as 60,353 4Eoz compared to an actual of 41,730 4Eoz. The AISC and AIC per 4Eoz for Mimosa were reported as R10,629/4Eoz (US$638/4Eoz), compared to R14,124/4Eoz (US$847/4Eoz) due to the inventory change not adjusted in these calculations |
3 | The Production per product – see prill split in the table below |
4 | The total US and SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks and capital expenditure exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales |
5 | The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment |
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 17
6 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing costs of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce (and kilogram) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the PGM produced in the same period. The operating cost of Marikana operations for 2020 includes the purchase of concentrate from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile |
7 | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
8 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Six months” |
9 | The Marikana PGM production includes the processing of 23,220 4Eoz, 26,915 4Eoz and 20,200 4Eoz third party concentrate purchases for the six months ended 31 December 2020, 30 June 2020 and 31December 2019, respectively |

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per kilogram (and ounce) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the gold produced in the same period |
2 | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
3 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Six months” |
4 | Corporate project expenditure for the six months ended 31 December 2020, 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 was R34.8 million (US$2.2 million), R7.3 million (US$0.4 million) and R47.5 million (US$3.3 million), respectively, the majority of which related to various Corporate IT projects and the Burnstone project |

The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year and six months ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared by Sibanye-Stillwater’s Group financial reporting team headed by Jacques le Roux (CA (SA)). This process was supervised by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Charl Keyter and approved by the Sibanye-Stillwater board of directors. A convenience translation has been applied to the primary statements into US dollar based on the average exchange rate for the period for the condensed consolidated income statement, statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows, and the period-end closing exchange rate for the statement of financial position and exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only. |

Notes to the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements
1. | Basis of accounting and preparation |
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with framework concepts, and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements.
The condensed consolidated income statement, and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2019 were not reviewed by the Company’s auditor and were prepared by subtracting the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019 from the audited comprehensive consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The condensed consolidated income statement, and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2020 have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditor and were prepared by subtracting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 from the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The translation of the primary statements into US dollar is based on the average exchange rate for the period for the condensed consolidated income statement, statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows, and the period-end closing exchange rate for the statement of financial position. Exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only.
1.1 | Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards effective on 1 January 2020 and adopted by the Group |
The amendments to published standards effective on 1 January 2020 and adopted by the Sibanye Stillwater Limited (Sibanye-Stillwater) group (the Group) did not have a material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
1.2 | Scheme of arrangement |
On 4 October 2019 Sibanye Gold Limited (SGL) and Sibanye-Stillwater, a previously dormant wholly owned subsidiary of SGL, announced the intention to implement a scheme of arrangement to reorganise SGL’s operations under a new parent company, Sibanye-Stillwater (the “Scheme”). The Scheme was implemented through the issue of Sibanye-Stillwater shares (tickers: JSE – SSW and NYSE – SBSW) in exchange for the existing shares of SGL (JSE – SGL and NYSE – SBGL).
On 23 January 2020 SGL and Sibanye-Stillwater announced that all resolutions for the approval of the Scheme, were passed by the requisite majority votes at the Scheme meeting held at the SGL Academy. The Scheme was implemented on 24 February 2020.
Sibanye-Stillwater determined that the acquisition of SGL did not represent a business combination as defined by IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This is because neither party to the Scheme could be identified as an accounting acquirer in the transaction, and post the implementation there would be no change of economic substance or ownership in the SGL Group.
The SGL shareholders have the same commercial and economic interest as they had prior to the implementation of the Scheme and no additional new ordinary shares of SGL were issued as part of the Scheme. Following the implementation of the Scheme, the condensed consolidated financial statements of Sibanye-Stillwater therefore reflects that the arrangement is in substance a continuation of the existing SGL Group. SGL is the predecessor of Sibanye-Stillwater for financial reporting purposes and following the implementation of the Scheme, Sibanye-Stillwater's condensed consolidated comparative information is presented as if the reorganisation had occurred before the start of the earliest period presented.
In order to effect the reorganisation in the Group at the earliest period presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, a reorganisation reserve was recognised at 31 December 2018 to adjust the previously stated share capital of SGL of R34,667 million to reflect the stated share capital of Sibanye-Stillwater of R1 at that date. The reorganisation reserve was adjusted for previously recognised movements in the stated share capital of SGL between 31 December 2018 and 24 February 2020. The issue of shares at the effective date of the Scheme, was recorded at an amount equal to the net asset value of the unconsolidated SGL company at that date, with the difference recognised as a reorganisation reserve.
Since the condensed consolidated financial statements of Sibanye-Stillwater are in substance a continuation of the existing SGL Group, the shares used in calculating the weighted average number of issued shares (refer note 8) is based on the issued stated share capital of the listed entity at that stage.
As a result of the above, earnings per share measures are based on SGL's issued shares for comparative periods. For purposes of Sibanye-Stillwater's earnings per share measures for the year ended 31 December 2020, shares issued as part of the Scheme were treated as issued from the beginning of the current reporting period so as to reflect the unchanged continuation of the Group. No weighting was required as there were no changes in the issued share capital of SGL from the beginning of the current period up to the effective date of the Scheme. Shares issued after the implementation of the Scheme were time-weighted as appropriate.
Although the Scheme was retrospectively implemented for accounting purposes, the roll forward below shows the movement of the legally issued shares of Sibanye-Stillwater and SGL for the periods indicated.

At 31 December 2020, management recognised deferred tax assets on WPL and EPL in excess of deferred tax liabilities for the first time since it became probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available. In total, net deferred tax assets of R951.0 million was recognised at 31 December 2020. The deferred tax asset recognition is supported by the profit history of WPL and EPL and a positive future outlook |

9. | Dividends |
Dividend policy
The Group’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. The Board, therefore, considers normalised earnings in determining what value will be distributed to shareholders. The Board believes normalised earnings provides useful information to investors regarding the extent to which results of operations may affect shareholder returns. Normalised earnings is defined as earnings attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater excluding gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange differences, impairments, gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment, occupational healthcare expense, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment on BEE transaction, gain on acquisition, net other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, after tax, and changes in estimated deferred tax rate.
In line with Sibanye-Stillwater’s strategic priority of deleveraging and the commitment to shareholder returns, the Board of Directors resolved to pay a final dividend of 321 SA cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of 50 SA cents per share, which was declared and paid, this brings the total dividend for the year ended 31 December 2020 to 371 SA cents per share and this amounts to a payout of 35% of normalised earnings.

11.1 US$ Convertible Bond
The US$ Convertible Bond was launched and priced on 19 September 2017 with the proceeds applied towards the partial repayment of the Stillwater Bridge Facility, raised for the acquisition of Stillwater (the “Bonds”). On 11 September 2018, SGL concluded the repurchase of a portion of the Bonds. An aggregate principal amount of US$ 66 million for a total purchase price of approximately US$50 million was repurchased. Following the repurchase, the outstanding nominal value amounted to US$384 million.
On 18 September 2020, SGL provided notice (Optional Redemption Notice) to exercise its rights to redeem all the Bonds in full on 19 October 2020. Following the issue of the Optional Redemption Notice and subject to the conditions of the Bonds, the bondholders could still exercise their rights to request conversion of their Bonds into ordinary shares of Sibanye-Stillwater by delivering a conversion notice. Following receipt of the conversion notices, Sibanye-Stillwater could elect to settle the Bonds in Sibanye-Stillwater shares or in cash to the value of the shares, subject to the conditions of the Bonds. Conversion notices were received for Bonds with a nominal value of US$383 million before the redemption date and all converted bonds were settled in Sibanye-Stillwater shares. No conversion notices were received for Bonds to the value of $0.8 million and these were redeemed for cash at nominal value, including unpaid accrued interest.
Upon implementation of the Scheme on 24 February 2020, SGL became a subsidiary of Sibanye-Stillwater, which in turn became the new holding company of the Group (refer note 1.2). Consequently, even though SGL was the Bond issuer, the converted Bonds were settled in Sibanye-Stillwater shares.
The Bonds consisted of two components under IFRS. The conversion option component was recognised as a derivative financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss. The bond component was recognised as a financial liability measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Both financial liabilities were extinguished upon settlement of the Bonds. Before derecognition, interest was accrued up to the settlement date on the amortised cost component based on the original effective interest rate.
The loss on settlement was attributed to the derivative component and measured as the difference between the fair value of the Sibanye-Stillwater shares issued on the respective settlement dates, the carrying amount of the amortised cost component immediately before settlement and the carrying amount of the derivative component. Sibanye-Stillwater shares issued on settlement of the Bonds were measured at the fair value on the dates of issue to the bondholders by applying a volume weighted average price (VWAP) on the day.

13. | Occupational healthcare obligation |
On 3 May 2018, the Occupational Lung Disease Working Group (the Working Group), including SGL, agreed to an approximately R5 billion class action settlement with the claimants (Settlement Agreement).
On 26 July 2019 the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg approved the R5 billion Settlement Agreement in the silicosis class action suit. This Settlement Agreement provides compensation to all eligible workers suffering from silicosis and/or tuberculosis who worked in the Occupational Lung Disease Working Group companies’ mines from 12 March 1965 to the date of the Settlement Agreement.
The Settlement Agreement required the formation of the Tshiamiso Trust (the Trust) to administer the claim settlement process, which includes tracing claimants, assessing and processing submitted claims and paying benefits to eligible claimants. The Trust will be funded by the participants to the Working Group through contributions determined in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. In addition, a special purpose vehicle was created with the objective of performing certain functions on behalf of the Working Group as set out in the deed of the Trust and Settlement Agreement. The special purpose vehicle and Trust are not controlled by the Group.
On 19 December 2019 SGL provided a guarantee for an amount not exceeding R1,372 million in respect of administration contributions, initial benefit contributions and benefit contributions to the Trust as required by the trust deed.
The Group’s current provision amounts to R1,194.6 million for its share of the settlement cost. The provision is subject to adjustment in the future based on the number of eligible claimants.

14.1 New 2020 cash-settled share-based payment awards
With effect from the March 2020 remuneration cycle, long-term incentive awards are made on a cash-settled basis rather than equity-settled. This includes awards of both Forfeitable Share Units (FSUs) and Conditional Share Units (CSUs) (previously referred to as bonus share and performance share awards under the equity-settled schemes).
Apart from the change in manner of settlement to cash, the terms and conditions of the awards, including all vesting conditions, are the same as the equity-settled scheme applicable to previous cycles. The value of the cash settlement is the same as the value of the shares that would have vested according to the rules in previous arrangements. Existing unvested equity-settled awards of the Group remain unchanged and will be settled in Sibanye-Stillwater shares.
At each reporting date, on vesting date and on settlement date, the liability for the cash payment relating to the FSUs and CSUs awarded is measured/remeasured at fair value. Similar to the equity-settled schemes of the Group, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model, with key inputs including the Sibanye-Stillwater share price, risk free rate, dividend yield and volatility.
The following table summarises the movements relating to the new share-based payment scheme:

16. | Deferred revenue |
In July 2018, the Group entered into a gold and palladium supply arrangement in exchange for an upfront advance payment of US$500 million (Wheaton International stream). The arrangement has been accounted for as a contract in the scope of IFRS 15 whereby the advance payment has been recorded as deferred revenue. The revenue from the advance payment is recognised as the gold and palladium is allocated to the appropriate Wheaton International account. An interest cost, representing the significant financing component of the upfront deposit on the deferred revenue balance, is also recognised as part of finance costs. This finance cost increases the deferred revenue balance, ultimately resulting in revenue when the deferred revenue is recognised over the life of mine.
On 21 October 2019, the Group concluded a forward gold sale arrangement whereby the Group received a cash prepayment of R1,108 million in exchange for the future delivery of 8,482 ounces (263.8 kilograms) of gold every two weeks from 10 July 2020 to 16 October 2020 subject to an initial reference price of R17,371/oz comprising 80% of the prevailing price on execution date. The initial forward sale was unhedged and the Group would have received (or paid) the difference between the spot price and the prepayment price of R17,371/oz. On 6 July 2020, before the first delivery date, the Group agreed revised terms in which the ounces to be delivered every two weeks were reduced from 8,482 ounces (263.8 kilograms) to 6,523.2 ounces (202.9 kilograms), totalling 52,185.2 ounces (1,623.1 kilograms). In addition, a floor of R27,700/oz and a cap of R33,386/oz was introduced. The final delivery was made on 15 October 2020.
During 2016 Lonmin Limited (UK) (Lonmin) secured funding of US$50 million to build the Bulk Tailings re-Treatment plant (BTT), through a finance metal streaming arrangement receivable in instalments. The US$50 million was accounted for as deferred revenue as it would be repaid by way of discounted value of PGM metal sales. Contractual deliveries were at a discounted price and the value of the discount over and above the US$50 million upfront payment was prorated over the project lifetime and charged to the consolidated income statement as a finance expense. The plant was commissioned during February 2018. The Group determined the fair value of the BTT deferred revenue to be R628 million at acquisition and R607 million at 31 December 2019. On 24 January 2020, Western Platinum Proprietary Limited (WPL), Eastern Platinum Limited and Lonmin Limited (collectively the “Purchasers”), subsidiaries of Sibanye-Stillwater, entered into a Release and Cancellation Agreement (“the Release Agreement”) with RFW Lonmin Investments Limited (“the Seller”) in respect of the BTT. The Release Agreement sets out the terms and conditions upon which the Purchasers have purchased the Seller’s entire interest in the metals purchase agreement for an amount of US$50 million to be settled in cash. The BTT transaction was implemented and the liability settled on 6 March 2020. WPL concluded a forward platinum sale arrangement on 3 March 2020 to fund the settlement of the BTT liability.

WPL received a cash prepayment of US$50 million (R771 million) in exchange for the future delivery of 72,886 ounces of platinum on set dates between June and December 2020. The platinum price delivered under the prepayment was hedged with a cap price of US$1,050 per ounce and a floor price of US$700 per ounce. The Group receives, and recognises, the difference between the floor price and the monthly average price (subject to a maximum of the cap price) on delivery of the platinum. The final delivery under the forward platinum sale arrangement was made on 7 December 2020.
The following table summarises the changes in deferred revenue:

17. | Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, and risk management |
17.1 Measurement of fair value
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) |
● | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) |
The following table sets out the Group’s significant financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

1 | Environmental rehabilitation obligation funds comprise equity-linked notes, a fixed income portfolio of bonds as well as fixed and call deposits. The environmental rehabilitation obligation funds are stated at fair value based on the nature of the fund’s investments |
2 | The fair value for trade receivables measured at fair value through profit or loss are determined based on ruling market prices, volatilities and interest rates |
3 | The fair values of listed investments are based on the quoted prices available from the relevant stock exchanges. The carrying amounts of other short-term investment products with short maturity dates approximate fair value. The fair values of non-listed investments are determined through valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. These inputs include price/book ratios as well as marketability and minority shareholding discounts which are impacted by the size of the shareholding |
4 | The fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated based on ruling market prices, volatilities and interest rates, option pricing methodologies based on observable quoted inputs. All derivatives are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value (refer note 11.1) |

Fair value of borrowings
The fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates its carrying amounts as the interest rates charged are considered market related. Fair value of fixed interest rate borrowings was determined through reference to ruling market prices and interest rates.
The table below shows the fair value and carrying amount of borrowings where the carrying amount does not approximate fair value:

17.2 Risk management activities
Liquidity risk: working capital and going concern assessment
For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group realised a profit of R30,621.6 million (31 December 2019: R432.8 million). As at 31 December 2020 the Group’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by R34,755.5 million (31 December 2019: R11,836.9 million) and the Group’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities by R70,716.0 million (31 December 2019: R31,138.3 million). During the year ended 31 December 2020 the Group generated net cash from operating activities of R27,149.3 million (31 December 2019: R9,464.0 million).
The Group currently has committed undrawn debt facilities of R7,336.3 million at 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: R5,688.0 million) and cash balances of R20,239.8 million (31 December 2019: R5,619.0 million). The most immediate debt maturity is the US$353.7 million June 2022 High Yield bond maturity, and an early restructure and/or settlement of this tranche could be undertaken during 2021. Additionally, US$75 million of the USD Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) matures in both April 2021 and April 2022, with the US$450 million balance of the USD RCF maturing in April 2023. Given that as at 31 December 2020 only US$475 million of the US$600 million USD RCF was drawn, the April 2021 facility availability maturity will not trigger a cash settlement. The R5.5 billion RCF was fully repaid during August 2020 with the full balance being undrawn at 31 December 2020 and available until November 2023, given the exercise of the first extension option. During October 2020 the US$ Convertible bond was settled through cash (R13.2 million) and the issue of shares (R12,573.2 million, refer note 11.1), further strengthening the balance sheet whilst preserving cash. Given the high level of available cash and undrawn facilities and resultant strong liquidity position no imminent refinancing of debt is required.
The Group’s leverage ratio (net (cash)/debt to adjusted EBITDA) as at 31 December 2020 was (0.1):1 (31 December 2019 was 1.4:1) and its interest coverage ratio (adjusted EBITDA to net finance charges) was 79.8:1 (31 December 2019 was 6.5:1). Both considerably better than the maximum permitted leverage ratio of at most 2.5:1 (up to 31 December 2019 3.5:1); and minimum required interest coverage ratio of 4.0:1, calculated on a quarterly basis, required under the US$600 million RCF and the R5.5 billion RCF.
Gold and PGMs are sold in US dollars with most of the South African operating costs incurred in rand, as such the Group’s results and financial condition will be impacted if there is a material change in the rand/US dollar exchange rate. High levels of volatility in commodity prices may also impact on profitability. Due to the nature of deep level mining, industrial and mining accidents may result in operational disruptions such as stoppages which could result in increased production costs as well as financial and regulatory liabilities. Further, Sibanye-Stillwater’s operations may be adversely affected by production stoppages caused by labour unrests, union activity or other factors.
Any additional regulatory restrictions imposed by the South African government to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (refer below) could adversely affect the 2021 production outlook of the South African operations. Presently, there are no COVID-19 related work stoppages being imposed by either the Federal government and the State of Montana. However, the ongoing need to maintain COVID-19 protocols in the US, due to state and federal guidelines and the Montana Operation’s own processes to manage its COVID-19 exposures, is having an impact on productivity and may adversely affect the 2021 production outlook of the US PGM operations. These productivity impacts include, but are not limited to, staggered shift arrangements, duplicate transport, mandatory screening, contact tracing and quarantining where necessary. These factors could impact on cash generated or utilised by the Group, as well as adjusted EBITDA and financial covenants.
The following events, reported in our annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, impacted on the profitability of the Group for the year under review:
● | Anglo American Platinum Limited’s (Anglo Plats) temporary shutdown of its converter plant (force majeure declared on 6 March 2020) – during the force majeure period, material produced by the Rustenburg, Platinum Mile and Kroondal operations was delivered to our Marikana processing facility. The converter plant at Anglo Plats was brought back into production on 12 May 2020 and Anglo Plats lifted the force majeure. On 31 May 2020 the converter plant was again shut down due to a water leak in the high-pressure cooling section of the converter which was repaired by mid-June 2020. The toll treatment agreement between Anglo Plats and our Rustenburg operation, and the purchase of concentrate agreement with our Kroondal and Platinum Mile operations continued after Anglo repaired and recommissioned its converter plant. |
● | COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa – the President of the Republic of South Africa announced a nation-wide lockdown from midnight 26 March 2020, which was amended through a notice published by the South African government on 16 April 2020 allowing for our South African mining operations to be conducted at a reduced capacity of not more than 50%. From 17 April 2020, management commenced implementing its strategy to mobilise the required employee complement to safely ramp up production at our South African operations to the initial restricted 50%. Subsequent directives issued by the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy and the |
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 37
easing of lockdown restrictions allowed for the controlled ramp up of production under stringent regulations. These measures had a significant adverse impact on our production from our South African operations during Q2 2020. At 30 June 2020 the SA Gold and SA PGM operations were at a production capacity of 86% and 73%, respectively. Our strategy to safely mobilise employees and ramp up to near normal production levels by the end of H2 2020 was successfully delivered. By the end of December 2020 the SA gold operations were almost ramped up to normal production capacity, however the momentum of ramping up into January 2021 was disturbed by Christmas break whereby the pace of employees returning back was slower than anticipated, especially those foreign nationals returning from the SADC countries where stricter border controls were implemented. The return to work was impacted due to the extended screening process and compliance requirements linked to the National Government level 3 lockdown regulations which was imposed in December 2020 and January 2021. By the end of December 2020, the SA PGM operations were ramped up to normal production capacity, however the momentum of ramping up into January 2021 was also disturbed by Christmas break whereby the pace of employees returning back was slower than anticipated due to the extended screening process. The extended period of screening was caused by the compliance requirements to level 3 National government lockdown regulations which require every employee returning from the Christmas break to be tested and screened for COVID-19. In H1 2020, capital expenditure at the South African operations was deferred to H2 2020 mainly due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, with capital expenditure in H2 2020 mainly incurred in the Infrastructure, safety and compliance projects. The deferral of such capital expenditure projects will flow into Q1 2021 and is also reflected as an increase in the 2021 capex plan. |
● | Although no formal lock down was experienced at our US PGM operations during 2020, the operational performance of our US PGM operations was negatively impacted by COVID-19, with proactive COVID-19 measures required to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and contain liquidity for the Group. This, amongst others, resulted in the deferral of capital project activity, the delay in receipt of key sustaining and growth capital items and a curtailment in recycling operation activity for a portion of 2020. The need to demobilize key project contractors during the onset of COVID-19, together with force majeure declaration's on key project infrastructure, contributed to the Stillwater East (Blitz) project being delayed by 24 months. Our recycling operations saw a noticeable market liquidity driven slow down early on in the pandemic, although a recovery in the secondary supply market occurred during the second half of 2020. The US PGM Operations saw production losses of approximately 4% due to COVID-19 during 2020. |
During December 2020 and January 2021 South Africa experienced a second wave of COVID-19 infections that, if not contained, could affect the production from our South African operations. Although the South African government introduced a level 3 lock down commencing from 28 December 2020, this did not impose further restrictions on our South African operations. COVID-19 infection rates remain high across the United States and our Montana Operations continue to operate under strict COVID-19 protocols. Management believes that the educational, safety and continued awareness measures already embedded at all our operations should limit the spread of infections.
The Group has thoroughly demonstrated its ability to proactively manage liquidity risk through these extraordinary times. Our improved geographical and commodity diversification, along with improved commodity prices, cost containment, and increased operational scale have enabled management to successfully mitigate the simultaneous impact of these abnormal events during 2020, navigating the Group to well below its targeted leverage ratio of below 1:1.
Notwithstanding the exceptionally strong current liquidity position and financial outlook, further amendments to COVID-19 regulations or uncontrolled infection rates could impose additional restrictions on both our US PGM and South African operations that may adversely impact the production outlook for 2021. This could deteriorate the Group’s forecasted liquidity position and may require the Group to further increase operational flexibility by adjusting mine plans, reducing capital expenditure and/or selling assets. The Group may also, if necessary, be required to consider options to increase funding flexibility which may include, amongst others, additional loan facilities or debt capital market issuances, streaming facilities, prepayment facilities or, in the event that other options are not deemed preferable or achievable by the Board, an equity capital raise. The Group could also, with lender approval, request covenant amendments or restructure facilities. During past adversity management has successfully implemented similar actions.
Management believes that the cash generated by its operations, cash on hand, the unutilised debt facilities as well as additional funding opportunities will enable the Group to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, therefore, have been prepared on a going concern basis.
18. | Contingent liabilities |
18.1 Purported Class Action Lawsuits
In 2018, two groups of plaintiffs filed purported class action lawsuits, subsequently consolidated into a single action (Class Action), against Sibanye Gold Limited and Neal Froneman (collectively, the Defendants) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging violations of the US securities laws. Specifically, the Class Action alleged that the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements about its safety practices and record and thereby violated the US securities laws. The Class Action sought an unspecific amount of damages. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action. On 10 November 2020, the Court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss in its entirety and ordered that the case be closed. Judgment in favor of the Defendants was entered on 12 November 2020. The Plaintiffs’ time to file a notice of appeal expired on 14 December 2020. Therefore, this action is now terminated.
18.2 Delaware Supreme Court rules in favour of Sibanye-Stillwater in dissenting shareholder action
The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the United States of America (the Court), in a Memorandum Opinion dated 21 August 2019, ruled in favour of the Sibanye Gold Limited in the appraisal action brought by a group of minority shareholders (the Dissenting Shareholders) of the Stillwater Mining Company (Stillwater), following the acquisition of Stillwater by Sibanye Gold Limited in May 2017 for a cash consideration of US$18 per Stillwater share.
In terms of the ruling, the Dissenting Shareholders (together owning approximately 4.5% of Stillwater shares outstanding at the time) received the same US$18 per share consideration originally offered to, and accepted by other Stillwater shareholders, plus interest. The remaining payment of approximately US$21 million due to the Dissenting Shareholders has been paid by Sibanye-Stillwater during the six months ended 31 December 2019.
Certain of the Dissenting Shareholders filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware and oral argument was completed on 15 July 2020. On 12 October 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an opinion affirming in whole the trial court’s opinion. On 28 October 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a mandate to the trial court closing the case. Therefore, this action is now terminated.

18.3 Arbitration case Redpath USA Corporation versus Stillwater Mining Company
In 2015, Redpath USA Corporation (the Contractor) was hired by the Stillwater Mining Company (the Company) to advance the Benbow decline as part of the Blitz project. During November 2019 the Contractor filed a claim wherein the contractor has raised a dispute over additional and rework costs of establishing a decline at the Stillwater Mine after drilling errors caused a water inundation that required significant remediation. The Contractor assumed the additional costs and is now wanting to recover those costs, in an amount of approximately US$20 million, from the Company. After engaging outside counsel and based on the terms of the contract that supports the Company’s position, management believes the Contractor’s claim is without merit and disputes the arbitration demand claim in the legal documents served on the Contractor.
19. | Events after the reporting period |

1 | The SA PGM operations’ results for the year ended 31 December 2019 include Marikana for the seven months since acquisition |
2 | Corporate and reconciling items represent the items to reconcile segment data to condensed consolidated financial statement totals. This does not represent a separate segment as it does not generate mining revenue. Group corporate includes the Wheaton Stream transaction and corporate transaction costs. To align the classification of finance cost on the Wheaton Stream as well as corporate transactions costs between reporting periods, a reclassification between Gold Corporate and Group corporate was made |
3 | Net other cash costs consist of net other costs as per the condensed consolidated income statement excluding change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation obligation, and right of recovery receivable and payable and other non-recurring costs; and include lease payments (R131.7 million) to conform with the adjusted EBITDA reconciliation disclosed in note 11.2 |
4 | Net other consists of loss on financial instruments, gain on foreign exchange differences, and change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation obligation, and right of recovery receivable and payable as detailed in profit or loss and the add back of the lease payment referred to in footnote 3 above. Corporate and reconciling items net other includes the share of results equity-accounted investees after tax as detailed in profit or loss |

Average exchange rates for the six months ended 31 December 2020, 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 were R16.26/US$, R16.67/US$ and R14.69/US$, respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation processes various recycling material which is excluded from the 2E PGM production, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost statistics shown |
2 During the six months of June 2020, sales were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, Mimosa continued production of PGM concentrate that resulted in a build up of concentrate stockpile. A difference arose whereby the Mimosa 4Eoz sold during the six months of June 2020 were included as equal to the produced 4Eoz. The effect of this difference resulted in sold 4Eoz for the six months ended 30 June 2020 being reported as 60,353 4Eoz compared to an actual of 41,730 4Eoz. The AISC and AIC per 4Eoz for Mimosa were reported as R10,629/4Eoz (US$635/4Eoz) compared to the R14,124/4Eoz (US$847/4Eoz) due to the inventory change not adjusted in these calculations
3 | Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs and permitting costs. Corporate relates to the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile to Marikana and the associated unrealised profit |
4 Inventory adjustment in Corporate includes the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile to Marikana and the associated unrealised profit
5 | Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value |
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2020 45
6 | Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current PGM production |
7 The by-product credit for Marikana for the six months period of December 2020 and June 2020 includes the benefit from the sale of concentrate purchased from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile of R1,546 million and R128 million, respectively. The cost associated with the purchase and processing of the intercompany concentrate is included in the Marikana cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
8 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period |

1 Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs and permitting costs
2 | Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value |
3 | Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current gold production |
4 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period |

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above |
2 The Marikana PGM operations’ results for the year ended 31 December 2019 are for seven months since acquisition
3 The Production per product – see prill split table below
4 | The total US and SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks and capital expenditure exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales |
5 | The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment |
6 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing costs of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce (and kilogram) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the PGM produced in the same period. The operating cost of Marikana operations for 2020 includes the purchase of concentrate from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile |
7 | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
8 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram)and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Year” |
9 The Marikana PGM production includes the processing of 50,136 4Eoz and 20,200 4Eoz third party concentrate purchases for the year ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per kilogram (and ounce) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the gold produced in the same period |
2 | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
3 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Year” |
4 | Corporate project expenditure for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 was R42.2 million (US$2.6 million) and R64.7 million (US$4.5 million), respectively, the majority of which related to various Corporate IT project and the Burnstone project |

1 | The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation processes various recycling material which is excluded from the 2E PGM production, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost statistics shown |
2 The Marikana PGM operations’ results for the year ended 31 December 2019 are for seven months since acquisition
3 | Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs and permitting costs. Corporate relates to the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile to Marikana and the associated unrealised profit |
4 Inventory adjustment in Corporate includes the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile to Marikana and the associated unrealised profit
5 | Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value |
6 | Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current PGM production |
7 The by-product credit of Marikana for the year ended December 2020 includes the benefit from the sale of concentrate purchased from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile of R1,674 million. The cost associated with the purchase and processing of the intercompany concentrate is included in the Marikana cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
8 | All-in cost per ounce, was introduced in 2013 by the members of the World Gold Council. Sibanye-Stillwater has adopted the principle prescribed by the Council. This non-IFRS measure provides more transparency into the total costs associated with mining. The All-in cost per ounce metric provides relevant information to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of mining. This is especially true with reference to capital expenditure associated with developing and maintaining mines, which has increased significantly in recent years and is reflected in this metric. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period |
Non-IFRS measures such as All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost are considered as pro forma financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Group’s Board of Directors and is presented for illustration purposes only, and because of its nature, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost should not be considered as a representation of financial performance. This pro forma financial information has been reported on by Ernst & Young Inc. in terms of ISAE 3420 and their unmodified report is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general and administrative costs and permitting costs
2 | Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value |
3 | Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current gold production |
4 | All-in cost per ounce, was introduced in 2013 by the members of the World Gold Council. Sibanye-Stillwater has adopted the principle prescribed by the Council. This non-IFRS measure provides more transparency into the total costs associated with mining. The All-in cost per ounce metric provides relevant information to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of mining. This is especially true with reference to capital expenditure associated with developing and maintaining mines, which has increased significantly in recent years and is reflected in this metric. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period |
Non-IFRS measures such as All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost are considered as pro forma financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Group’s Board of Directors and is presented for illustration purposes only, and because of its nature, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost should not be considered as a representation of financial performance. This pro forma financial information has been reported on by Ernst & Young Inc. in terms of ISAE 3420 and their unmodified report is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office

1 | The US PGM operations’ underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation processes recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above |
2 Production per product – see prill split in the table below
3 | The Group and total SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales |
4 | The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment |
5 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce (and kilogram) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the PGM produced in the same period. The operating cost of Marikana operation includes the purchase of concentrate from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile |
6 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Quarters” |
7 The Marikana PGM production includes the processing of 12,439 4Eoz and 10,781 4Eoz third party concentrate purchases for the quarters ended 31 December 2020 and 30 September 2020, respectively

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
1 | Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per kilogram (and ounce) is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period, by the gold produced in the same period |
2 | All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – Quarters” |
3 | Corporate project expenditure for the quarters ended 31 December 2020 and 30 September 2020 was R26.3 million (US$1.7 million) and R8.5 million (US$0.5 million), respectively, the majority of which related to various Corporate IT projects and the Burnstone project |
