MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
OVERVIEW
As we reflect on the past financial year (FY21), the resilience and determination shown throughout the company ensured we achieved our strategic objectives and delivered a stellar set of full-year results. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has been unprecedented, yet we adapted to a changed environment. The successful acquisition and integration of Mponeng and related assets are reflecting in our numbers and demonstrates how we have further transformed our earnings profile through the acquisition of high grade assets, while delivering on our strategy of safe, profitable ounces and increasing margins.
The safety and health of our employees and their families remains our top priority. FY21 saw us continue our safety journey to embed a proactive safety culture throughout the company. We also embarked upon a successful Covid-19 vaccination programme in South Africa and Papua New Guinea. In South Africa, four of our facilities having been registered and authorised to store and administer vaccines to our employees and communities and a further six sites awaiting accreditation. We continue to encourage our employees and their families to get vaccinated at one of our vaccination sites and so far, the numbers are encouraging with around 44% of our employees partially vaccinated and 12% fully vaccinated. We expect to reach our goal of 80% by October 2021.
Wage negotiations are still ongoing and we expect to reach an agreement in the first quarter of FY22.
Revenue increased by 43% to a record R41 733 million (US$2 710 million) for FY21 compared to R29 245 million (US$1 867 million) in the 12 months ended 30 June 2020 (FY20). The company realised a net profit of R5 590 million (US$352 million) compared to a net loss of R850 million (US$56 million) in FY20 as a result of a 26% increase in production year-on-year, the provisional gain on bargain purchase and our hedge
position, as well as improved production and a higher average Rand/kg gold price received.
Operating free cash of R6 528 million (US$424 million) for the reporting period allowed us to reduce our net debt by 60% or R819 million (US$41 million) year-on-year, ensuring our balance sheet remains healthy.
Our new assets and strong, flexible balance sheet have presented numerous exciting opportunities for Harmony and we will be focusing on exploration and brownfield projects in order to take advantage of our existing assets and operational leverage.
Through integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, investment in our people, optimisation of our assets and allocating our capital towards higher quality, longer life assets, we have created value for our shareholders and stakeholders alike.
We are also delighted to declare a full year dividend of 27 SA cents (1.8 US cents) per share as we aim to deliver positive total shareholder returns alongside our growth aspirations, bringing our total dividend for FY21 to 137 SA cents (9.3 US cents).
RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP
Safety and health
Safety is a foundational value at Harmony and safe production at all our operations at all times is
non-negotiable. It is for this reason that the achievement of our third-ever fatality-free quarter was cause for celebration. We have invested in embedding a pro-active culture of safety throughout Harmony and are now in phase 2 of our humanistic transformation journey, which we have aptly named ‘Thibakotsi’, which means ‘to prevent harm’ in Sesotho. Thibakotsi is about understanding the importance of one another, caring for one another and requires a conscious shift in how we think about ourselves and others. Developing safety leadership capabilities, embedding good safety practices, embracing a proactive safety culture, improving employee engagement and learning from incidents are assisting in entrenching safe behaviour within all
our employees and help us achieve our goal of zero loss of life.
The results of our hard work are evident in that the majority of our key safety metrics are trending in the right direction. Our South African operations' lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) improved by 3% to 6.46 per million shifts from 6.69 in FY20. Some of the notable milestones we achieved in FY21 include:
•3 382 378 fatality-free shifts achieved across the group in Q4 FY21. This is the highest number of fatality-free shifts in our 71-year history and highlights the progress we are making
•South African operations: achieved 9 million fall of ground fatality-free shifts and 13 million rail bound equipment fatality-free shifts while all of our plants achieved a fatality-free year
•Moab Khotsong: achieved 8 million fall of ground fatality-free shifts
•Masimong and Kalgold: achieved 2 million fatality-free shifts
•Hidden Valley: zero lost time injuries in FY21, 3 million fatality-free shifts
To further assist in ensuring all our work areas are safe at all times, we have introduced a number of initiatives such as standardisation of process maps, missing persons’ locators and electronic reporting to further drive improvements in safety and health. We have appointed risk managers, we conduct triple verification checks and have implemented visuals of global best practice guides throughout our operations. We have an integrated approach to risk management and further digitisation and training will ensure we are aligned to global best practices. These advancements are yielding very good results and will further assist in eliminating fatalities and work-related injuries.
Our new assets have been successfully integrated and Harmony's safety practices have been adopted throughout.
Despite the progress we have made, accidents remain a constant and real threat. Our year-on-year fatality injury frequency rate regressed from 0.08 in FY20 to 0.11 in FY21 which is unacceptable.
It is with great sadness that we report the following colleagues who lost their lives in mine-related incidents in FY21. We pay our respects to Zamokuhle Shabane (team leader, Bambanani), Zakhele Lubisi, (artisan, Kusasalethu), Alexis Lesiamang Ntjantso (driller, Doornkop), Tsoaela Botsane (team leader, Tshepong), Tisetso Pati (winch operator, Tshepong), Rakitsi Seseli (driller, Kusasalethu), Makhetha Allerdice Makobane (driller, Bambanani), Flip Kearabetswe Mahloko (contractor, Free State Surface Operations), Tsietsi Petrus Mateane (driller, Phakisa), Neo Mofokeng (underground assistant, Target 1) and Peter Bangixhanti Fosilara (artisan, Moab Khotsong). We extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
Covid-19 remains a major focus and is considered a material risk to our business. There is continued coordination from all stakeholders, management and employees towards fighting the pandemic in both South Africa and Papua New Guinea. We are continuing with our initiatives to reduce the spread of Covid-19 infections through implementation of precautionary measures, including education and awareness, improved hygiene and infection control practices. As at 28 August 2021, Harmony had 122 active Covid-19 cases, representing just 0.27% of our workforce. We mourn the loss of 73 of our colleagues to the pandemic and continue to urge all our employees, their families and communities to remain vigilant as we battle the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 standard operating procedures as they relate to mine health and safety, continue to be enforced throughout the company.
In South Africa, we are monitoring incidences on a weekly basis and to date, the number of infections has been lower than those experienced during the second wave. In Papua New Guinea, we are maintaining a high level of on site testing in addition to screening employees at our entry-point centres to prevent as far as possible, any occurrence of Covid-19 on site. We are still maintaining a heightened level of awareness and safety.
In line with the government programme in South Africa, Harmony commenced its vaccine roll-out at our four regional vaccination sites in June this year and we continue to encourage and highlight the importance to our employees to get vaccinated. We
are also pleased to report that the testing rates at our sites are above the national and mining sector average. In Papua New Guinea an employee vaccination programme is also being rolled out with support from the National and Provincial Health departments.
While we continue to focus on limiting or eliminating the spread of Covid-19 at all our operations and keeping our employees safe, it is important to emphasise that we have continued with our other healthcare and occupational disease initiatives. We remain committed to providing active healthcare to all our employees, ensuring their wellbeing alongside our management of the pandemic. We have seen the results of the good work being done by our health teams through the low Covid-19 infection rate as well as the strides made in managing other occupational illnesses within our workforce.
ESG
Good governance is overarching and embodies everything we do as a business. Ethical leadership equals ethical mining. We have implemented the necessary governance frameworks to ensure that we are held accountable and deliver on our sustainability targets and ambitions. Our sustainable development strategy is an all-encompassing risk-based strategy – one in which all the components of the business are considered, and the various capitals are weighed up against each other. E, S and G are all interlinked and inform our sustainability framework.
On 22 June 2021, Harmony held its inaugural investor ESG day. The virtual event was streamed via Harmony’s dedicated YouTube channel, ‘Harmony Gold’. The theme for the day was “Who cares, wins” with the key message being that we understand the importance of mining for the future, and as the South African gold mining champion, we have illustrated time and again that sustainability is the driving force of our business.
Our copper-gold aspirations will ensure we continue to deliver on the “E” in ESG while our response to the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with our existing health and wellness initiatives, job creation and enterprise development, clearly demonstrate that the “S” in ESG is part of Harmony’s DNA. Good
governance is non-negotiable and is demonstrated through our transparency and governance structures throughout our company.
Renewable energy and power
We are pleased to report a reduction in our water, energy and emission intensities as a result of our focus on driving efficiencies combined with our sizeable surface source business. In addition, we have embarked on our renewable energy journey which will be rolled out in a phased approach. Our initial phase will see the construction 3 x 10 Megawatts (MW) (30MW) solar plants in the Free State province, with plans in the next phase for an additional 70-80MW of renewable energy over the next 18 months. In addition to these two phases, we have a pipeline of renewable and alternative energy projects in various stages of development.
We have also implemented more than 200 energy savings initiatives which have yielded an estimated savings of R1 billion since 2016 and an energy reduction of approximately 1.3 terawatt hours or 1.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Climate change and environmental reporting
In October 2021, we will publish our second Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure report alongside our ESG report and as part of our suite of annual reports.
External recognition
Our ESG efforts have resulted in our inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index where we continue to outperform the gold sub-sector and basic metals sector averages.
In FY21, MSCI upgraded Harmony’s score to a ‘B’ rating on the back of our strong governance framework. We were included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for a third consecutive year as well as the Standard Bank Top gender empowerment company 2021. It is evident from these external recognitions and continual improvements in our ratings that we are committed to a greener and more equitable future, creating and sharing value for all our stakeholders.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Operational results for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (compared to FY20)
We are pleased to report that total gold production for FY21 was 26% higher at 47 755kg (1 535 352oz) compared to 37 863kg (1 217 323 ounces (oz)) in FY20. The higher gold production was in line with guidance and mainly due to the inclusion of Mponeng and related assets into our portfolio. This number was further enhanced as a result of the group achieving its operational plans and regaining mining flexibility at the majority of our mines after the impact of Covid-19.
The newly acquired assets added 8 948kg (287 685oz) in FY21 comprising – 5 446kg or 175 093oz from Mponeng underground, 862kg or 27 714oz from Mponeng surface, 583kg or 18 744oz from Kopanang surface and 2 57kg or 66 134oz from Mine Waste Solutions. Combined, this accounted for 19% of total group production. Mponeng had an excellent performance during the nine months since we took ownership, exceeding expectation across production metrics while the surface dumps also performed well.
The average underground recovered grade increased by 1% to 5.51g/t from 5.45g/t as a result of higher grades achieved at Kusasalethu and Mponeng. Based on underground free cash flow margins, Mponeng (9 months' production), was also our most profitable operation for the reporting period followed by Bambanani and Moab Khotsong, delivering R1 356 million (US$88 million), R448 million (US$29 million) and R1 569 million (US$102 million) in operating free cash at margins of 29%, 27% and 26% respectively.
Production from our surface sources increased by 86% to 8 088kg (260 034oz) in FY21 from 4 349kg (139 823oz) in FY20 due to the contribution of Mine Waste Solutions and the waste rock dumps.
The South African operations are seeing significant improvement in production after all our operations were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We were primarily impacted in FY21 by the reduced flexibility
and the slow start up after the December 2020 break as a result of Covid-19 protocols for our employees from neighbouring countries crossing over the borders into South Africa and Papua New Guinea.
We are pleased to report our operations have regained most of their flexibility and expect to see an improved production at the majority of our underground operations going forward. While Target 1 continues to be a challenge as a result of the dual pillar failures and backfill dilution, we are continuing our capitalisation project to bring the infrastructure closer to the mining areas. Improved production results are expected once these projects are complete and we start mining the higher grade massives again.
Kalgold is also regaining flexibility after the mining of high grade ore was prioritised during the Covid-19 lockdowns.
Hidden Valley’s FY21 gold production declined by 4% to 4 689kg (150 755oz) from 4 872kg (156 639oz) in FY20 while silver production also declined by 32% to 63 482kg or 2 040 994oz from 93 858kg (3 017 620oz). Gold and silver production were negatively impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak and related international travel restrictions and operational constraints in addition to mechanical repairs required for some major infrastructure. Despite these events, production profit was 10% higher driven by a 10% improvement in recovered gold grade to 1.37g/t from 1.25g/t in FY20 and a 12% higher gold price received of R847 027/kg (US$1 711/oz) compared to R757 348/kg (US$1 504/oz) in FY20. Operating free cash flow increased by 28% to R1 117 million (US$73 million) compared to R871 million (US$56 million) in FY20.
Hidden Valley’s mining lease extension was also granted by the Papua New Guinea government for a period of five years and is valid until March 2030. The granting of the mining lease extension affirms Harmony’s well-established relationship with government. The Hidden Valley extension project will result in an extended mine life to 2027 with expected production of 975 000oz of gold and 13 million ounces (Moz) of silver over the life of mine. The project will be cash-flow positive for its duration.
Total cash operating costs for FY21 for total operations increased by 37% to R28 681 million
(US$1 862 million) compared to R20 958 million (US$1 338 million) in FY20. The increase of R7 723 million (US$524 million) was driven mainly by the inclusion of Mponeng and related assets which contributed R5 067 million (US$329 million) in new costs. The other major contributors to the production cost increase were labour costs which increased by R1 316 million (US$85 million), consumables which added R629 million (US$41 million), royalties which increased by R266 million (US$17 million) as a result of higher revenues and Covid-19 related expenses which amounted to R290 million (US$19 million).
Group all-in sustaining cost of R723 054/kg (US$1 460/oz) was slightly above our amended guidance for FY21 which was between R700 000/kg and R720 000/kg (US$1 375/oz and US$1 415/oz). This was mainly as a result of lower than expected gold production at Target 1, Joel, Kalgold and Hidden Valley. Group capital expenditure for FY21 increased by 44 % to R5 103 million (US$331 million) from R3 553 million (US$227 million) in FY20 due to the inclusion of Mponeng and related assets and a normalisation of capital expenditure in South Africa and Papua New Guinea.
CASH CERTAINTY
Financial results for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (compared to FY20)
Revenue
Revenue increased by R12 488 million or 43% to R41 733 million, mainly due to the operational expansion from the acquisition of Mponeng and related assets as well as an increase in the gold price received. The acquired assets contributed R7 920 million while the average gold price received increased by 16% to R851 045/kg from R735 569/kg in FY20. In US dollar terms revenue increased by US$843 million or 45% to US$2 710 million. The average gold price received increased by 18% to US$1 719/oz from US$1 461/oz in FY20.
Production costs
Production costs increased by R7 726 million or 35% to R29 774 million during FY21 predominantly due to the operational expansion as well as annual price increases. In US dollar terms production costs increased by US$524 million or 37% to US$1 933 million.
Impairment of assets
An impairment loss of assets of R1 124 million (US$79 million), attributable to Bambanani, Target 3 and Tshepong, has been recognised for FY21. The recoverable amounts were below their net asset values due to factors such as a lower projected grade and the impact on forecast discounted cash flows. Refer to note 8 in the financial statements.
Gains and expenses included in operating profit
A foreign exchange translation gain of R670 million (US$44 million) compared to a R892 million loss (US$57 million) in FY20 is predominantly caused by favourable translations on US dollar loan balances. The favourable translations on US dollar loans are attributable to the Rand strengthening against the US dollar evidenced by an improved average and closing exchange rate of R15.40/US$1 (FY20: R15.66/US$1) and R14.27/US$1 (FY20: R17.32/US$1) respectively.
Gain on bargain purchase
The fair value of the assets and liabilities from the Mponeng operations and related assets, which have been determined on a provisional basis, exceeded the consideration paid, resulting in a gain on bargain purchase of R1 153 million (US$69 million). The gain has been determined in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3. Refer to note 13 in the financial statements for further detail.
Taxation
The taxation expense for the group increased to R1 153 million (US$75 million) from R255 million (US$17 million) for FY21. An increase in taxable profits, mainly due to the significant revenue, higher gains on derivatives and increased foreign exchange translation gains has contributed to the increased current tax expense. The deferred tax expense
increase is mainly caused by the utilisation of assessed losses and unredeemed capital expenditure, as well as the impact of tax rate increases on certain statutory companies across the group. Refer to note 6 in the financial statements.
Net profit/(loss)
Harmony’s financial performance reflects a net profit increase of 758% to R5 590 million (US$352 million), compared to a net loss of R850 million (US$56 million) in the previous year. Headline earnings improved to 923 SA cents per share (60 US cents) compared with a headline loss of 154 SA cents (10 US cents) per share for FY20.
Net debt
As at 30 June 2021, net debt decreased by R819 million (US$41 million) to R542 million (US$38 million). The cash generated by operations were more than enough to pay for capital expenditure, a dividend and significantly reduce the group's debt. The reduction in debt as well as the stronger Rand resulted in lower finance costs incurred during FY21 of R228 million (US$15 million) compared with R424 million (US$27 million).
Derivatives and hedging
Harmony continues to enjoy favourable commodity and foreign exchange pricing on the unhedged portion of its exposure, while locking in higher prices as part of its derivative programme when available. The current period records a net gain on derivatives of R1 022 million (US$66 million) compared to a net loss of R1 678 million (US$107 million) in FY20 as a consequence of the Rand strengthening against the US dollar during FY21.
Derivatives recorded a net realised cash outflow of R2 544 million (US$165 million) in FY21, principally due to a R2 210 million (US$143 million) cash outflow on Rand/gold derivatives. Revenue includes a hedging loss of R2 296 million (US$149 million) in FY21 and R1 397 million (US$89 million) in FY20 relating to the realised effective portion of hedge-accounted gold derivatives.
The derivative programme stood at a net positive value of R1 587 million (US$111 million) as at
30 June 2021, mainly due to hedging done during the first half of the financial year when the gold price was higher and we could lock in a margin of in excess of 25% above cost.
Refer to notes 3 and 10 in the financial statements for details on the derivative programme.
EFFECTIVE CAPITAL ALLOCATION
Investing in growth
Our strategic objective of producing safe profitable ounces is underpinned by our four strategic pillars which are responsible stewardship, operational excellence, cash certainty and effective capital allocation. The solid FY21 performance was a result of successful execution across all of these pillars.
One of the key events during FY21 was the successful acquisition and integration of Mponeng and related assets. This transaction, along with the acquisition of Moab Khotsong in 2018, was strategically important and set Harmony on a new growth trajectory. We improved the profitability and grade of our underground portfolio and managed to expand our surface source business, while at the same time adding life of mine and identifying value enhancing brownfield opportunities. The payback on Moab Khotsong was less than three years and we anticipate another quick payback for Mponeng and related assets due to the strong free cash generated. Another key milestone was reached in Q4 FY21, as the payback of the US$175 million Hidden Valley reinvestment project, undertaken during FY16 was achieved.
We have concluded our life of mine planning process for the existing and new operations and have concluded our reconciliation and assessment of the mineral reserves and resources based on updated models and the new life of mine plan. Below infrastructure areas at Mponeng are being reassessed and new project studies will be commissioned to evaluate the economic viability of these blocks of ground. We have therefore made adjustments to the reserves and resources originally published by AngloGold Ashanti Limited at the end of 2019 and factored these into our life of mine plans.
Despite these reconciliations, the company’s attributable gold and gold equivalent mineral resources are now declared as 141.2Moz as at 30 June 2021, a 19.12% increase year-on-year from the 118.6Moz declared as at 30 June 2020. The total gold contained in the mineral resources at the South African operations represents 70.8% of the company total, with the Papua New Guinea operations representing 29.2% of Harmony’s total gold and gold equivalent mineral resources as at 30 June 2021.
Harmony’s attributable gold and gold equivalent mineral reserves amounts to 42.45Moz, a 16.32% increase from the 36.49Moz declared at 30 June 2020. The gold reserve ounces in South Africa represent 58.3% while the Papua New Guinea gold and gold equivalent reserve ounces represent 41.7% of Harmony’s total mineral reserves as at 30 June 2021.
In addition to the acquisitions, FY21 brought with it some other opportunities as the increased production alongside a higher gold price enabled Harmony to reduce net debt, creating a robust and flexible balance sheet which is well positioned for growth. While value-accretive acquisitions will remain part of our strategy, we will only pursue mergers and acquisitions in continental Africa and South East Asia if it makes strategic and financial sense.
Projects
We have identified substantial opportunities in our existing portfolio through exploration and brownfield projects which will extend the life of some of our larger and higher-grade assets, adding lower-risk, higher-margin ounces to Harmony's portfolio. Each project brings multiple benefits to Harmony and exceeds all our minimum criteria for allocating capital. We will continue to focus on ensuring all our mines operate safely and optimally and will continue investing across all our operations to ensure optimal production.
The salient features of our key projects are:
a.Zaaiplaats project: Zaaiplaats is located to the south west of the Moab Khotsong mine in South Africa and has significant resources of 3.5Moz below the last infrastructure level. This project is expected to produce over 200 000
ounces per annum and add 24 years’ life of mine at a yield of approximately 9g/t and an estimated, real all-in sustaining cost of R512 300/kg. The major capital expenditure will be funded by Moab Khotsong. There are significant benefits to pursuing this project such as leveraging existing infrastructure, increasing ounces and sustaining jobs. Harmony has proven its ability to extract value and add life of mine time and again throughout its 71-year history
b.Mine Waste Solutions: This operation was acquired in October 2020 and is a reclamation operation in the Stilfontein/Orkey area in the North West province, and treats 2.2 million tonnes per month from historical tailings facilities through the Mine Waste Solution plant. Residue is then deposited on the existing Kareerand Tailings Storage Facility. However, this facility is running out of tailings deposition capacity. The project will require major capital to extend the existing deposition site to enable the full development of our tailings resource in the region. This project will be funded out of group cash and will deliver excellent cash flow margins once this project is completed and the Franco-Nevada streaming agreement comes to an end. This project is expected to produce approximately 100 000 ounces of gold per annum and add 16 years' life of mine at an estimated all-in sustaining cost of R572 000/kg over the life of mine
c.Hidden Valley extension: This project in Papua New Guinea will be self-funded and will extend the life of mine to 2027. We expect the project to deliver approximately 160 000-200 000oz of gold per annum and 2.1-3.1Moz of silver per annum at a life of mine all-in sustaining cost of $1 017/oz
d.Other projects already in execution: These include the Doornkop levels 207 and 212 mining and engineering infrastructure upgrade, the Tshepong sub-75 development, the Target 1 re-capitalisation and decline development as well as our renewable energy projects (which are expected to realise significant energy savings)
Wafi-Golpu project
Harmony is committed to realising its aspiration of being a specialist emerging market copper-gold producer. In December 2020, following a rigorous environmental impact assessment, the Environmental Permit for the Wafi-Golpu project was approved by the Papua New Guinean Conservation and Environment Protection Authority and issued by the Director of Environment.
The Environmental Permit is required under the Papua New Guinean Environment Act and is a prerequisite for the grant of a Special Mining Lease under the Mining Act. Harmony, together with its Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture partner Newcrest Mining Limited, is currently engaging with the State of Papua New Guinea to progress permitting of the Wafi-Golpu Project and has commenced discussions with the State in relation to the Special Mining Lease.
The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture Social License to Operate is in good standing and continues to receive support from the Project Impact Area communities, including the various coastal communities.
During the quarter, several meetings took place between the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and the Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture proponents on the resumption of the permitting process, with the Prime Minister expressing his government’s desire to have it expedited.
Final dividend
In line with our existing dividend policy, and following on the payment of an interim dividend in April 2021, we are pleased to announce that Harmony has declared a final dividend of 27 SA cents (1.8 US cents) per share on the back of our reduction in net debt and strong free cash flow. This, in addition to the interim dividend paid, translates to a full year dividend yield of approximately 2.4% based on our recent share price.
The decision to pay a dividend is made on the basis that it will be sustainable and will not inhibit future expansion opportunities. When declaring a dividend, the board of directors takes the following into account: the dividend will be 20% of net free cash subject to future major capital expenditure, net debt
to EBITDA not being greater than 1.0x, solvency and liquidity requirements in line with the South Africa Companies Act and current banking covenants.
FY22 GROUP PRODUCTION AND COST GUIDANCE
Production guidance for FY22 is estimated to be between 1.547Moz and 1.630Moz at an all-in sustaining cost of between R765 000/kg to R800 000/kg. Underground recovered grade is planned to be about 5.40g/t to 5.57g/t.
CONCLUSION
As the largest gold producer in South Africa by volume, we embrace a moral obligation to not only ensure the well-being and safety of our people, but also that the value created by our operations extends to all our stakeholders and shareholders. We have shown in both South Africa and Papua New Guinea that we are able to create significant value through the effective allocation of capital to existing assets while further optimising and improving productivity across our entire portfolio.
By re-engineering our portfolio and deleveraging our balance sheet, we have created optionality for the business.
Harmony is more than just mining, we are about people. We are committed to creating opportunities through sustainable mining, while enhancing the returns for our shareholders and stakeholders.

SUMMARY UPDATE OF HARMONY’S MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES
Harmony’s statement of mineral resources and mineral reserves as at 30 June 2021 is produced in accordance with the South African Code for the Reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (SAMREC). It should be noted that the mineral resources are reported inclusive of the mineral reserves.
This report provides a summary of the update, while the detailed statement of the mineral resources and mineral reserves will be published in the Integrated Report on 27 October 2021, which will be available at www.harmony.co.za/invest. Refer to the website (www.harmony.co.za) for the updated reserves and resources tables as at 30 June 2021.
Harmony uses certain terms in the summary such as ‘measured’, ‘indicated’ and ‘inferred’ resources, which the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines strictly prohibit companies registered in the United States from including in their filings with the commission. United States investors are urged to consider the disclosure in this regard in our Form 20-F which will be available on our website at www.harmony.co.za/invest/annual-reports on 27 October 2021.
Introduction
Harmony’s strategy is to produce safe, profitable ounces and increase margins. This includes delivering safely on our operational plans, reducing costs and improving productivity. Harmony’s growth journey entails acquiring quality assets. In FY17, Harmony invested in the life of mine extension at Hidden Valley and in FY18 acquired and integrated the higher grade Moab Khotsong operations. In FY21, Harmony acquired the remainder of the AngloGold Ashanti South African assets – Mponeng and related assets.
Harmony – Total
The company’s attributable gold and gold equivalent mineral resources are declared as 141.2Moz as at 30 June 2021, a 19% increase year-on-year from the 118.6Moz declared as at 30 June 2020. The total gold contained in the mineral resources at the South African operations represents 71% of the company total, with the Papua New Guinea operations representing 29% of Harmony’s total gold and gold equivalent mineral resources as at 30 June 2021.
Harmony’s attributable gold and gold equivalent mineral reserves amounts to 42.5Moz, a 16% increase from the 36.5Moz declared at 30 June 2020. The gold reserve ounces in South Africa represent 58%, while the Papua New Guinea gold and gold equivalent ounces represent 42% of Harmony’s total mineral reserves as at 30 June 2021.
South Africa
South African underground operations
The company’s mineral resources at the South African underground operations as at 30 June 2021 are 84.0Moz (262.1Mt at 9.96g/t), an increase of 33% year-on-year from the 62.9Moz (214.8Mt at 9.10g/t) declared as at 30 June 2020. This increase is mainly due to additional mineral resources from the Mponeng acquisition.
The company’s mineral reserves at the South African underground operations as at 30 June 2021 are 14.3Moz (70.46Mt at 6.31g/t), an increase of 33% year-on-year from the 10.8Moz (56.95Mt at 5.87g/t) declared as at 30 June 2020. The increase in ounces is mainly due to the reserves added from the Mponeng acquisition and inclusion of the Zaaiplaats project at Moab Khotsong.
South African surface operations, including Kalgold
The company’s mineral resources at the South African surface operations as at 30 June 2021 are 16.0Moz (1 769.9Mt at 0.28g/t) an increase of 53% mainly due to the acquisition of AngloGold Ashanti South African surface sources.
The company’s mineral reserves after normal depletion at the South African surface operations as at 30 June 2021 are 10.4Moz (1 236.6Mt at 0.26g/t), an increase of 57% due to the acquisition of AngloGold Ashanti South African surface sources.
Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea operations
The company’s attributable gold and gold equivalent mineral resources at the Papua New Guinea operations as at 30 June 2021 are 41.3Moz, a decrease of 9% year-on-year from the 45.4Moz declared as at 30 June 2020. This decrease is mainly due to a new resource model at Hidden Valley (Kaveroi), commodity price ratio changes affecting the gold equivalent ounces negatively, and depletion.
The company’s gold and gold equivalent mineral reserves at the Papua New Guinea operations as at 30 June 2021 are 17.7Moz, a decrease of 7.3% year-on-year from the 19.1Moz declared as at 30 June 2020. The decrease is mainly due to depletion and a change in the commodity price ratios. There was a year-on-year increase of 0.5Moz of gold reserves at Hidden valley due to the addition of Stage 8 to the life of mine plan.
| | |
ASSUMPTIONS |
In converting the mineral resources to mineral reserves, the following commodity prices and exchange rates were applied: |
•A gold price of US$1 500/oz |
•An exchange rate of R/US$14.51 |
•The above parameters resulted in a Rand/kg gold price of R700 000/kg for the South African assets |
•The Hidden Valley mine and the Wafi-Golpu project used commodity prices of US$1 500/oz Au, US$20.70/oz Ag, US$10.00/lb Mo and US$3.00/lb Cu at an exchange rate of AUD1.39 per US$ |
•Gold equivalent ounces are calculated assuming US$1 500/oz Au, US$3.00/lb Cu and US$20.70/oz Ag, and assuming a 100% recovery for all metals |

* Represents Harmony’s equity portion of 50%
** In instances where individual deposits may contain multiple valuable commodities with a reasonable expectation of being recovered (for example gold and copper in a single deposit), Harmony computes a gold equivalent to more easily assess the value of the deposit against gold-only mines. Harmony does this by calculating the value of each of the deposits' commodities, then dividing the product by the price of gold. For example, the gold equivalent ounces for the copper portion of a deposit would be calculated as follows: (copper pounds x copper price per pound)/gold price per ounce. All gold equivalent calculations are done using metal prices and parameters as stipulated above
Note: Rounding of numbers may result in slight computational discrepancies
SUMMARY UPDATE OF HARMONY’S MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES continued
EXPLORATION
Our exploration strategy is to predominantly pursue brownfields exploration targets close to existing infrastructure. This will drive short to medium term organic ore reserve replacement and growth to support our current strategy of increasing quality ounces and to mitigate the risk of a depleting ore reserve base.
Key work streams underpinning the FY21 exploration programme include:
•brownfield exploration at Hidden Valley and Kalgold to optimise existing open pit operations and extend mine life and
•brownfield exploration at our underground operations in South Africa
•greenfields exploration at Target North
•reviewing exploration opportunities as part of our new business strategy
During the year these work streams continued to be impacted as a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic, with some work programmes suspended in the interest of the health and safety of our employees and the host communities we work in, and to preserve capital during these challenging times.
A detailed report of the Exploration Results will be provided as part of the suite of annual reports to be published on 27 October 2021.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (RAND)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act no. 71 of 2008 of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the SAICA 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 the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements. There were no new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that became effective that had a material impact on the group's results or financial position.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Comparative information
As a result of the acquisition of AngloGold Ashanti Limited's (AGA) remaining South African assets, collectively Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 13), a change in the materiality thresholds applied by management resulted in certain of the financial statement line items either being aggregated or disaggregated in the related primary financial statement as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result and in accordance with the requirements of IFRS, the comparatives were also re-presented accordingly, as noted in the table below.

2. COVID-19 IMPACT
South Africa
The national lockdown that began on 27 March 2020 to curb the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and allow the country time in which to prepare for the demands the pandemic would have on its health care system is still in place. Harmony continues with the risk assessment-based Covid-19 prevention strategy which was rolled out across all of its operations before the lockdown was announced. This approach has allowed management to identify, evaluate and rank the hazards associated with any exposures to Covid-19 and potential infections. It has allowed the company to reduce or eliminate the probability of an employee contracting Covid-19 and to limit the severity should an employee be infected.
Harmony’s Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been adopted and rolled out, ensuring a safe return to work and work environment for each of its employees. The SOP was informed by guidelines provided by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, the National Council for Infectious Diseases and the World Health Organisation.
All requisite staffing, facilities and equipment are in place to ensure continuous rigorous screening of employees at work, as well as isolate or quarantine employees infected by or exposed to Covid-19, with subsequent testing and treatment. Management adapt the approach continuously as more information becomes available and new best practices evolve.
Papua New Guinea
Harmony’s Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea has continued to operate during the Covid-19 State of Emergency declared in that country, however restrictions on international travel and the implementation of strict Covid-19 control protocols, required longer employee rosters, which includes rostered days off on site to manage fatigue, which has negatively impacted productivity. Work is being done to mitigate this impact. The delivery of essential supplies to the mine has continued, with strict isolation control measures in place. All non-essential staff have been temporarily removed from site and certain activities and expenditures have been curtailed to focus on safe, profitable operations during the pandemic. Protocols were adopted to allow the safe movement of personnel to and from site.
Vaccines
The roll-out of vaccine programmes globally since November 2020, despite the subsequent discovery of several mutations, or variants, is seen as a positive move to prevent severe disease and hospitalisation. Harmony has four accredited mass vaccination sites in South Africa and three in Papua New Guinea, with plans to accredit six more sites in South Africa. Harmony aims to vaccinate 80% of its employees that are willing to be vaccinated by October 2021 and can then assist with the vaccination of employees' families and the communities in which we operate.
Financial risk management
The effects of Covid-19 and other macro developments have increased financial risks such as exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price volatility, while also impacting on liquidity and credit risk. Management has put various measures in place to mitigate and/or manage the risks and continues monitoring the situation closely. Refer to note 14 for additional detail.
Market impact
Exchange rates
Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, during the 2020 financial year the Rand weakened significantly against the US dollar and the Australian dollar, closing at R17.32/US$1 and R11.96/A$1 on 30 June 2020. During the 2021 year, the Rand strengthened against the two currencies, closing at R14.27/US$1 and R10.72/A$1 on 30 June 2021. In addition, the Papua New Guinea Kina weakened against the Australian dollar from PGK2.38/A$1 at 30 June 2020 to PGK2.63/A$1 at 30 June 2021. These movements in the currencies expose the group's operations to foreign currency gains and losses on foreign-denominated receivables and liabilities, including derivatives, and also impact the group’s translation of its International operating results and net assets into its Rand presentation currency, which resulted in a foreign exchange translation gain of R1.2 billion for the 2020 year, while a foreign translation loss of R1.2 billion was recognised for the 2021 year. In addition, a net foreign exchange translation gain of R670 million (R892 million net loss in FY20) was recognised in profit or loss for the 2021 year, primarily on the US$ borrowings.
Commodity prices
Gold prices have rallied to all-time highs during the 2020 and 2021 years following the global economic fallout of Covid-19 and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty supporting its safe haven status with investors. The price of gold in US$ terms closed at US$1 770/oz on 30 June 2021, relatively unchanged from the price of US$1 781/oz on 30 June 2020. However, spot gold prices have traded in a range of between US$1 681/oz and US$2 063/oz (FY20: US$1 384/oz and US$1 781/oz) during the year, which was driven by factors such as the announcement of the successful developments of vaccines as well as the various waves of the Covid-19 infections being experienced globally.
Interest rates
The United States of America (US) as well as South African market interest rates remain stable at the recent low levels and are expected to remain low for some time to come, as economies all over the world are still impacted by the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since the US Federal Reserve dropped the Fed Funds rate to a maximum of 0.25% in March 2020, there have been no changes to the rate. Similarly in South Africa, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has kept the repo rate at a low of 3.50% since reducing it to that level on 23 July 2020. In the first half of 2020 the SARB lowered the repo rate by 2.75% from 6.50% to 3.75%. Management's expectation is for interest rates to remain low as inflation is well within the target band.

2. COVID-19 IMPACT continued
Impact on production
During the initial phase of the South African national lockdown, the underground operations were placed on care and maintenance and employees returned to their homes across the country and in other SADC countries. On 1 May 2020, the underground operations were granted concessions to start producing at a maximum capacity of 50% and as of 1 June 2020, operational restrictions were lifted further to allow the mining industry to operate at 100% of its labour capacity. By 1 September 2020, Harmony had completed the recall of all operational employees.
Management continuously monitors the crew availability and adapts the production models accordingly. The December break was shortened to allow for a catch-up on development which had been delayed during Level 4 & 5 of the national lockdown. It also allowed for extra production days.
Due to the protocols put in place to deal with an employee who has potentially been exposed to the virus, the disruption to production has been minimal. The reduction of the quarantine time from 14 to 10 days has also seen a quicker return after a potential exposure. The use of the rapid antigen test during the January 2021 return-to-work process significantly improved the process as employees could be cleared for work within an hour of testing. Those with a positive test were immediately isolated for further case management.
Impact on critical estimates and judgements
The group considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on each of its significant accounting estimates and judgements as at 30 June 2021, some which relate to the key assumptions for the calculation of the mining assets' recoverable amounts. The increase in the US$ gold price affected the short- and medium-term views in the forecasts management received from various institutions in order to determine the assumptions for impairment testing. Refer to note 8 for further details on the assumptions used in the impairment test.
With the fair value exercise that is required for the acquisition of Mponeng operations and related assets, management made certain assumptions and estimates required in the process as at 1 October 2020. These assumptions were affected by the market volatility at the time. Refer to note 13 for further detail.

Other | | (9) | | (11) | |
Total cost of sales | | 35 657 | | 25 908 | |
1 Production costs saw a significant increase in the 2021 year due to the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets, which contributed R5 230 million to the increase. The remaining increase is mainly attributable to higher utilities and labour costs for the year as a result of annual increases.
2 The royalty expense increased during the 2021 year due to increased profitability as a result of the higher gold prices, which also impacted on the rates at which royalties are calculated.
3 The increase year on year is as a result of the operations running for the entire year with no shutdowns while the charge for 2020 was impacted by lower production due to the closure of underground operations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The inclusion of the Mponeng operations and related operations assets in the asset base also contributes R421 million to the increase year on year.
4 During the current period impairments of R1 124 million were recognised for the property, plant and equipment of Tshepong Operations and Target 3 as well as the goodwill of Bambanani. Refer to note 8 for further details.
5 The total for the 2021 year includes the change in estimate following the annual reassessment process.
6 The increase is due to a new programme for voluntary and medical severance packages offered to employees.
5. OTHER INCOME STATEMENT ITEM NOTES
Corporate, administration and other expenditure
The amount for the year ended 30 June 2021 increased from 30 June 2020 mainly due to integration costs of R205 million (R4 million in FY20) related to the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 13), a general increase in corporate activity and higher employee incentive payments.

6. TAXATION
Current taxation
The movement in foreign exchange translation from losses in the prior year to gains in the current year as well as higher mining taxable income due to the increase of revenue resulted in the increase in the current tax expense during the 2021 year. This was also impacted by certain companies within the group using their unredeemed capital allowances as well as assessed losses.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (RAND)
6. TAXATION continued
Deferred taxation
The R610 million deferred tax expense during the 2021 year is attributable to increased net taxable temporary differences due primarily to the utilisation of the assessed losses and unredeemed capital expenditure in certain companies as a result of higher taxable profits. The main contributors to these changes were:
•Harmony Moab Khotsong Operations (Pty) Ltd utilised its assessed loss and unredeemed capital expenditure, which contributed R224 million to the liability increase;
•Freegold (Harmony) Pty Ltd utilised its assessed loss and unredeemed capital expenditure balance, which contributed R112 million to the liability increase year on year; and
•Golden Core Trade and Investment (Pty) Ltd, which acquired the Mponeng operation as well as the West Wits closure business utilised a portion of its unredeemed capital allowance, which contributed R149 million to the liability increase.
An increase of R782 million in the deferred tax liability is due to the increase in the net derivative asset/(liability) position from 30 June 2020, which had an impact on the majority of the companies within the group.
Due to the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets, a R148 million net deferred tax liability was recognised. Refer to note 13 for detail.
Movement in the net deferred tax liability recognised in the balance sheet is as follows:

Deferred tax asset per balance sheet | (198) | | (531) | |
Deferred tax liability per balance sheet | 2 202 | | 996 | |
As at 30 June 2020 a deferred tax asset was recognised in Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony Company) and Randfontein Estates Limited (Randfontein Estates). Subsequently, the net deferred tax asset balance has decreased due to the utilisation of assessed losses, unredeemed capital expenditure and a decrease in the net derivative liability. Harmony Company's deferred tax asset balance reduced to R175 million while Randfontein Estates' deferred tax asset became a deferred tax liability.
The net deferred tax asset position of Harmony Company is as follows:

8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Acquisitions
One of the major contributors to the movement in property, plant and equipment is the acquisition of Mponeng operations and related assets and liabilities. Refer to note 13 for further information on the acquisition.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment (including goodwill)
Management performed an assessment for impairment triggers as well as indications of reversal of previously recorded impairment losses at 30 June 2021. Due to the net asset value (before any impairments recognised) exceeding the market capitalisation of Harmony as at 30 June 2021, the recoverable amounts for all cash-generating units (CGUs) were calculated. The recoverable amounts for these assets were determined on a fair value less cost to sell basis using assumptions in the discounted cash flow models and attributable resource values. These are fair value measurements classified as level 3.
Estimates and judgements
The recoverable amount of mining assets is determined utilising real discounted future cash flows or resource multiples in the case of undeveloped properties and certain resource bases. During this year's planning and testing, commodity price and exchange rate assumptions as per the table below were used. In determining the commodity prices and resource values to be used, management assesses the long-term views of several reputable institutions on commodity prices and based on this, derives the commodity prices and resource values. Due to the short-term volatility in the US$ commodity price and the Rand against the US$ towards the end of the financial year, management decided it would be appropriate to differentiate between short-, medium- and long-term assumptions used in the models. The long-term price was determined as part of the annual budgeting process and is used in the life-of-mine plans and is also the cut-off price for calculating reserves included in the declaration of reserves and resources in terms of the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (SAMREC). The resource multiple values have been updated from the prior year, due to the recent transaction between AGA and Harmony for the purchase of the Mponeng operations and related assets. The resource multiple has been further updated to differentiate between underground operations and surface source operations due to this new information and applied to the relevant resource bases. Please refer to note 13 for further information on the acquisition.

Estimates and judgements continued
The silver price has been extended during the current financial year to include short-, medium- and long-term rates. The long-term rate used is based on the rate used as part of the strategic planning process.
Post-tax real discount rates ranging between 9.3% and 12.0% (2020: 9.6% and 11.5%), depending on the asset, were used to determine the recoverable amounts for the South African operations. Hidden Valley made use of a post-tax real discount rate of 10.3%.

Due to the volatilities experienced in the markets and the uncertainty in forecasting future cash flows due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, management has used various probability scenarios in determining the recoverable amounts for the CGUs at 30 June 2021 and 2020.
The factors below were considered in management's judgements. The most significant change year on year was the introduction of the vaccination programme and its impact on infection rates. The factors were:
•infection rates and the timing of the expected peaks in the provinces and/or countries that Harmony's operations are situated in;
•expected disruptions to production together with the mitigation strategies management has in place;
•expectation of the completion date of the vaccination programme at Harmony and a governmental level; and
•potential duration of the impact of the virus (prior and post vaccination) and the related restrictions in operations.
Management included estimates of the staffing costs for screening and monitoring employees at work as well as those that are in quarantine. Further costs have been included in the life-of-mine plans for the cost of the vaccination programme and the scenarios used by management include further potential costs if vaccinations are required in the future at various intervals.

8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS continued
Impairment of property, plant and equipment (including goodwill) continued
Estimates and judgements continued
In preparing the various scenarios, management considered and varied:
•the potential impact on production and therefore on the revenue cash flows, based on historical trends that have been extrapolated to account for varying disruption levels;
•the duration of potential disruptions to production, ranging from 12 months to 24 months;
•the infection rates and associated costs as well as vaccination costs. This included impacts on production as well as considerations of the potential requirement to re-vaccinate in coming years.
The calculated cash flows were then weighted based on management's expectation of each of the scenarios occurring. The resulting amounts were discounted using the specific discount rate for each operation in order to determine the recoverable amount.
Results of impairment and reversal assessment
Based on the impairment tests performed, impairment of R1 124 million was recorded for the 2021 year. The impairments relate to the following operations:
•The impairment of goodwill on Bambanani was mainly as a result of a reduction in grade over the remainder of the operation's life. The reduction in grade is due to unexpected changes in the orebody and a lower mine call factor. These changes from the previous life-of-mine plan resulted in a reduced post-tax recoverable amount of R341 million and an impairment of R187 million.
•The entire carrying value of Target 3 has been impaired during the current year, resulting in an impairment of R178 million. Previous plans to explore the sale of the operation have been abandoned and further development is not a viable option at this stage. Therefore management has determined a recoverable amount of Rnil.
•An impairment of R759 million on the property, plant and equipment of Tshepong Operations was recognised at 30 June 2021. The updated life-of-mine plan included a reduction in planned gold resulting from lower grade. There was also a change in the mining profile in the revised life-of-mine plan, which impacted on the timing of cash flows, which were then later than in comparison to the prior year plan. These changes affected the discounted cash flows used to determine the recoverable amount of the operation. The post-tax recoverable amount decreased year on year to R5 784 million.
Where CGUs had previously been impaired, management considered whether the impairment loss (or the contributors to the previously recognised impairment loss) no longer exists or might have decreased. Management considered general and specific factors for each CGU and concluded that although overall the gold price had improved from the time that the impairment losses had been recognised, the specific circumstances that led to the original impairments had not reversed. Furthermore, the service potential of the asset has not increased. Management also considered the level of uncertainty of the impact of Covid-19 on production and therefore on the cash flows. Due to the continued volatility seen in the gold prices as well as exchange rates, coupled with the fact that the factors resulting in the previously recognised impairment losses had not reversed, as well as the market capitalisation consideration, management resolved it to be appropriate for no reversal of previously recognised impairment losses to be recorded for the under review.
One of the most significant assumptions that influence the life-of-mine plans and therefore impairment assessments is the expected commodity prices. Management determined a reasonably possible long-term change of 10% in gold prices based on the standard deviation of both Harmony's long-term gold price assumption over the past five financial years and market analysts' forecasted long-term gold price assumptions. A 10% increase/decrease (pre-impairment and scrapping recognised) in the gold price and resource values used (with all other variables held constant and not taking any actions, such as stopping capital projects, into account) would have resulted in the following post-tax impairment being recorded (including the impairments recorded in the current period) as at 30 June 2021:

9. OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS
During the 2021 financial year-end, the loan to the ARM Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Trust (the ARM BBEE Trust) was refinanced to allow a sufficient and sustainable repayment structure. Following the restructuring, Harmony advanced R264 million to the ARM BBEE Trust to which the Trust used the amount for the repayment of the outstanding balance under the previous loan agreement. The loan under the revised loan agreement is interest-free and is receivable on the maturity of the loan on 30 June 2035. The loan is unsubordinated and unsecured. The loan does not meet the requirements for amortised cost measurement as it fails the solely payments of principal and interest characteristics. It is therefore classified as a fair value through profit and loss instrument (refer to the fair value determination section in note 14 for detail). The refinancing of the loan resulted in a day 1 expense of R87 million, which is included in investment income.

•The syndicate of lenders for the US$400 million facility agreed to the one-year extension during July 2020, extending the maturity date to September 2023
During June 2020, the company's lenders agreed to relax certain requirements for compliance with debt covenants until December 2020. The group complied with all debt covenants as at 31 December 2020. From 1 January 2021, the covenants reverted to the original position.
There were no breaches of the loan covenants for the 2021 and 2020 financial years. Management believes that it is very likely that the covenant requirements will be met in the foreseeable future given the current earnings and interest levels, as well as the net debt position.

12. STREAMING ARRANGEMENTS
Streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
Harmony's subsidiary, Chemwes, the owner of the Mine Waste Solutions operation (MWS) has a contract with Franco-Nevada Barbados (Franco-Nevada) where Franco-Nevada is entitled to receive 25% of all the gold produced through MWS. As part of the acquisition of MWS (refer to note 13), Harmony assumed the obligations enforced by the Franco-Nevada contract.
The contract is a streaming agreement that commenced on 17 December 2008 for which Franco-Nevada paid US$125 million upfront for the right to purchase 25% of the gold production through MWS for a fixed amount of consideration until the balance of gold cap is delivered. As at 1 October 2020, the US$125 million upfront payment has been settled. The gold cap is a provision included in the contract, which stipulates the maximum quantity of gold to be sold to Franco-Nevada over the term of the agreement. The consideration is determined as the lower of the quoted spot gold price as per the London Metals Exchange or US$400 per ounce adjusted with an annual escalation adjustment.
Harmony does not have an existing streaming arrangement and therefore a new accounting policy was developed for the classification and measurement of the transaction.
Accounting policy
The streaming contract was assessed and has been accounted for as an own-use customer contract. At acquisition, the Franco-Nevada contract was initially recognised at a fair value (refer to note 13) of R1.42 billion in accordance with IFRS 3. The fair value of the contract took into consideration the existing unfavourable gold price terms at acquisition, in relation to the comparative market gold price.
The obligation to deliver the contractually stipulated ounces over the remaining term of the agreement results in a significant financing component. The interest accrues on the contract liability over the remaining contractual term. As the performance obligation to deliver gold is met, the contract liability unwinds into revenue classified as "consideration from streaming contract" in note 3. Refer to note 13 for the critical estimates and judgements relating to the contract liability. Changes in the production plan will affect the subsequent measurement prospectively. This is the only input that is considered for subsequent measurement. Harmony's cost of debt of 7.7% was used to impute the finance cost for the significant financing component recognised on the contract liability.
The current portion of the liability is determined with reference to the current production profile of MWS for the next 12 months.
Contract liability and gold delivered
As at 1 October 2020, the balance of gold ounces to be delivered to Franco-Nevada amounted to 100 686oz. Subsequent to 1 October 2020, 16 257oz had been delivered to Franco-Nevada bringing the balance of gold ounces to be delivered as at 30 June 2021 to 84 429oz.
The contract price receivable in US$/oz for each ounce of gold delivered is as follows:
•1 October 2020 – 16 December 2020: US$433/oz
•17 December 2020 – 30 June 2021: US$437/oz

13. ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
ACQUISITION OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI'S REMAINING SOUTH AFRICAN OPERATIONS
On 12 February 2020, Harmony announced that it had reached an agreement with AGA to purchase the Mponeng operations and related assets. Harmony's primary goal with the acquisition was to improve the group's overall recovered grade and increase cash flow margins. The transaction includes the following assets and liabilities:
•The Mponeng, Tau Tona and Savuka mines and associated rock-dump and tailings storage facility reclamation sites, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the West Wits region and their associated assets and liabilities;
•Certain rock-dump reclamation, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the Vaal River region and their associated assets and liabilities (the VR Remaining assets);
•100% of the share capital of First Uranium (Pty) Limited which owns Mine Waste Solutions (Pty) Limited and Chemwes (Pty) Limited as well as associated tailings assets and liabilities (the FUSA Group); and
•100% of the share capital of Covalent Water Company (Pty) Limited (CWC), AngloGold Security Services (Pty) Limited and Masakhisane Investments (Pty) Limited.
The last condition precedent for the acquisition was fulfilled during September 2020, resulting in an acquisition date of 1 October 2020.
Cash generating units identified
Based on management's assessment the transaction meets the definition of a business combination as defined by IFRS 3. The following CGUs were identified in the acquisition:
•the Mponeng business, consisting of the Mponeng, Tau Tona and Savuka mines, forming a single complex, and their associated assets and liabilities, including CWC;
•the West Wits closure business, consisting of the Savuka plant and associated rock-dump and tailings storage facility reclamation sites, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the West Wits region and the associated assets and liabilities;
•Mine Waste Solutions (also known as MWS); and
•the Vaal River closure business, consisting of certain rock-dump reclamation, mine rehabilitation and closure activities located in the Vaal River region and their associated assets and liabilities.
Consideration transferred
Consideration for the transaction amounted to a cash payment of R3.4 billion (US$200 million), paid on 30 September 2020, and contingent consideration subject to the following criteria:
•US$260 per ounce payable on all underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines in excess of 250 000 ounces per year for six years commencing 1 January 2021; and
•US$20 per ounce payable on underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines sourced from levels developed in the future below the current infrastructure.
As at 1 October 2020, the contingent consideration was valued at R229 million by using a probability weighted method, discounted at a post-tax real rate of 10.6%. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assumptions applied for the valuation of the liability were updated. As at 30 June 2021, the contingent consideration was valued at R417 million using a post-tax real discount rate of 10.3%. The remeasurement of the liability of R188 million is included in Other operating expenses and relates primarily to a change in the production profile, which is based on Harmony's life-of-mine plan. The fair value calculated for the contingent consideration is level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The contingent consideration attributable to the below infrastructure ounces of gold was valued at Rnil at both 1 October 2020 and 30 June 2021.
The amount disclosed in the cash flow statement for cash paid for the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets is determined as follows:

Acquisition and integration costs
The total of R124 million for acquisition costs for the year ended 30 June 2021 relates to various costs directly attributable to the acquisition process. These costs include attorney and advisory fees.
There have also been costs incurred for the integration of the acquired assets into Harmony's existing structures and systems. These costs include project management and consultancy fees and software licensing costs required to interface with the Harmony systems. These costs amounted to R205 million (2020: R4 million) for the year ended 30 June 2021 and have been included in Corporate, administration and other expenditure.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The fair value exercise was prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3. The values measured on a provisional basis included, inter alia, property, plant and equipment, the environmental rehabilitation provision and the deferred tax associated with these balances. Management is still in the process of gathering and assessing certain information on key estimations and the impact thereof on the provisional fair values. No measurement period adjustments have been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The measurement period ends on 30 September 2021. Any information that materially impacts on amounts previously recorded will be considered when finalising the fair value exercise. The necessary adjustments to the provisional balances as at 1 October 2020 and any resulting subsequent measurement adjustments will be made to the June 2021 results and financial position in reports issued after 30 September 2021, which may include the 2021 annual financial statements to be issued at the end of October 2021.
Critical estimates and assumptions of business valuations performed
Key assumptions for the valuation of the respective CGUs are the gold prices, marketable discount rates, exchange rates and life-of-mine plans. Due to the volatility associated with the potential upside driven by the higher gold prices in the short to medium term, management opted to adopt conservative gold price assumptions in order to accommodate for this, which is still in line with a market participant's view. Management has considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the valuations performed and made adjustments to the production and cost estimates for the respective CGUs.
The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was determined on the expected discounted cash flows based on the life-of-mine plans of the Mponeng business (Mponeng), West Wits closure business (WW), Mine Waste Solutions (MWS) and the Vaal River closure business (VR). The post-tax real discount rates used ranged from 8.5% to 11.6%, real exchange rates ranged between R14.41/US$1 and R16.75/US$1, real gold prices ranged between US$1 308/oz and US$1 784/oz. The valuation was performed as at 1 October 2020.
As part of determining the fair value of the provision for environmental rehabilitation the pre-tax risk-free rates used for discounting ranged between 5.1% and 11.5% while inflation of 5.0% was used for cost escalation.
The fair value of the unfavourable contract liability which forms part of the streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada was measured at the difference between a market analyst consensus of gold prices and the fixed cash consideration to be received for gold delivered. A post-tax real rate of 11.6% was used to discount the liability over the expected period of delivery to settle the contract.
The deferred tax rates used to calculate deferred tax is based on the current estimate of future profitability when temporary differences will reverse based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at acquisition date. The calculated deferred tax rates as at 1 October 2020 were 10.1% for Mponeng and WW, 20.8% for VR and 18.0% for MWS.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed continued
Groundwater pollution liability
During an assessment of the environmental liabilities associated with the acquisition, a risk related to the potential decant and pollution of groundwater from the tailings storage facilities was identified. Management is still in the process of formulating a strategy for mitigating the risk.
A contingent liability acquired in a business combination is recognised in the acquisition accounting if it is a present obligation and its fair value can be measured reliably. Based on Harmony's initial assessment, a liability of R71 million has been raised as part of the provision for environmental rehabilitation assumed in the business combination.
Performance of acquired operations
For the nine months ended 30 June 2021, the operations acquired contributed revenue of R7 920 million and profit R1 765 million. Should the acquisition have occurred on 1 July 2020, the group’s pro forma consolidated revenue would have been R44 718 million and pro forma consolidated profit would have been R6 550 million.
Adjustments made to pro forma information
For the nine months of October 2020 to June 2021, the revenue and production cost figures as per the segmental operating results were used, with adjustments made to determine the profit/(loss) after tax of the acquired operations. These adjustments were:
•Non-cash consideration recognised from the streaming arrangement;
•Depreciation expensed;
•Costs incurred directly attributable to the acquisition;
•Investment income recognised from restricted cash and investments;
•Finance costs recognised for provisions for environmental rehabilitation; and
•Finance costs recognised for significant financing components of the streaming arrangement.
For the three months of July to September 2020 (Q1), the segment operational results of AGA was used. Adjustments made to pro forma information to determine profit/(loss) were as follows:
•Depreciation expensed for Q1 was estimated based on the fair values determined as at 1 October 2020. AGA did not recognise depreciation for Q1 in line with IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held For Sale.
•Non-cash consideration from the streaming arrangement, finance costs for provisions for environmental rehabilitation and the streaming arrangement for Q1 were based on the fair values determined as at 1 October 2020, using Harmony's accounting policies.
Gain on bargain purchase

– Contingent consideration | 229 | |
Provisional fair value of net identifiable assets acquired | (4 748) | |
Gain on bargain purchase (provisional) | (1 153) | |
The provisional gain on bargain purchase realised can be attributed to the higher gold prices and R/US$ exchange rate assumptions that were used in the business valuations performed as at 1 October 2020 when compared to the assumptions used when the transaction was negotiated. The gold price and exchange rate assumptions were impacted by the market uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the short- and medium-term assumptions that were included in the valuations.
Gain on bargain purchase has been included as a separate line item in the income statement.

14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact on various aspects of Harmony's operating environment. Where relevant, reference is made to certain impacts in the discussions below, however a detailed discussion thereof is included in note 2.
Foreign exchange risk
Harmony's revenues are sensitive to the R/US$ exchange rate as all revenues are generated by gold sales denominated in US$. A weakening of the Rand will increase the reported revenue total; conversely a strengthening will decrease it.
Harmony maintains a foreign currency derivative programme to manage foreign exchange risk. The limit currently set by the Board is 25% of the group's foreign exchange risk exposure for a period of 24 months. The audit and risk committee reviews the details of the programme quarterly. Refer to note 10 and the fair value determination section below for further detail on these contracts.
The Rand strengthened during the financial year ended 30 June 2021, from R17.32/U$1 on 30 June 2020 to close at R14.27/US$1 on 30 June 2021. This positively impacted on the derivative valuations. The Rand's levels also impacted positively on the translation of the US$ debt facilities at 30 June 2021. Refer to note 11 for detail.
Commodity price sensitivity
The profitability of the group’s operations, and the cash flows generated by those operations, are mainly affected by changes in the market price of gold, and in the case of Hidden Valley, silver as well. Harmony entered into derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows from the group’s production, in order to create cash certainty and protect the group against lower commodity prices. The general limit for gold hedging currently set by the Board is 20% for a 24-month period. The limit set by the Board is 50% of silver exposure over a 24-month period. The audit and risk committee reviews the details of the programme quarterly. Refer to note 10 and the fair value determination section below for further detail on these contracts.
Interest rate risk
The interest rate cuts by both the US Federal Reserve and the SARB had a favourable impact on the cost of debt during the year. This was supported by the strengthening of the Rand on the cost for the US$ facilities, as well as the decreased debt levels as discussed in Capital Risk Management below.
Credit risk
Financial instruments which are subject to credit risk are restricted cash and investments, derivative financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents, all of which are invested with financial institutions that meet the group's policy requirements for credit quality, as well as trade and other receivables (excluding non-financial instruments). In assessing the creditworthiness of local institutions, management uses the national scale long-term ratings.
During the June 2020 financial year, Fitch downgraded the major South African (SA) banks by one notch to AA- from AA following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This rating drop did not have a significantly adverse impact on the credit worthiness of the group's counterparts (SA financial institutions). Fitch increased the credit rating of the major banks to AA+ on 22 December 2020, citing the financial institutions risk appetite and corporate conduct as key factors of the upgrade. At 30 June 2021, the rating of major SA banks remained AA+.
Taking the above events into consideration, the national scale investment grade rating of these banks remains high, between AA- and AA+, and in line with the group's credit risk policy. An assessment of the expected credit losses (ECLs) for the financial assets measured at amortised costs at 30 June 2021 resulted in an immaterial amount for each instrument. Although the credit rating of the group's Australian counterparts moved down a notch from AA- to A+, the assessed ECL remained immaterial.
Management will continue to review the underlying strength of the South African economy as well as the creditworthiness of the financial institutions during this uncertain time and make any changes deemed necessary to safeguard the assets and reduce the credit risk.
Capital risk management
The group's positive financial performance has resulted in the considerable generation of cash through-out the financial year, assisting in the repayment of debt facilities (refer to note 11). It remains the group's objective to adhere to a conservative approach to debt and maintain low levels of gearing.
Net debt is as follows:

The fair value levels of hierarchy are as follows:
| | | | | |
Level 1: | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices); |
Level 3: | Inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs). |

(a) The majority of the balance relates to the equity investment in Rand Mutual Assurance. The fair value of the investment was estimated with reference to an independent valuation. A combination of the "Embedded Valuation" and "Net Asset Value" techniques were applied to revalue the investment as at 30 June 2021. In evaluating the group's share of the business, common practice marketability and minority discounts as well as additional specific risk discounts were applied.
(b) The majority of the level 2 valued assets are directly derived from the Top 40 index on the JSE, and are discounted at market interest rates. This relates to equity-linked deposits in the group's environmental rehabilitation trust funds.
The level 1 valued assets were acquired as part of the Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 13) and comprises of listed equity securities of R252 million designated as fair value through other comprehensive income instruments.
The remaining balance of the environmental trust funds is carried at amortised cost and therefore not disclosed here.
(c) The mark-to-market remeasurement of the derivative contracts was determined as follows:
•Foreign exchange contracts comprise of zero cost collars and FECs: The zero cost collars were valued using a Black-Scholes valuation technique derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate inputs, implied volatilities on the Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand/US$ inter-bank interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate (zero-coupon interest rate curve). The value of the FECs is derived from the forward Rand/US$ exchange rate and discounted at a market interest rate (zero coupon interest rate curve).
•Rand gold contracts (forward sale contracts): spot Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand and dollar interest rates (forward points), spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate which is discounted at a market interest rate.
•US$ gold contracts (forward sale contracts): spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate and discounted at a market interest rate.
•Silver contracts (zero cost collars): a Black-Scholes valuation technique, derived from spot US$ silver price, strike price, implied volatilities, time to maturity and interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate investments.
(d) Following the refinancing of the loan (refer to note 9), the current year fair value movement was calculated using a discounted cash flow model, taking into account forecasted dividends payments over the estimated repayment period of the loan at a rate of 7.9%. A discounted cash flow model, taking into account projected interest payments and the projected African Rainbow Minerals Limited (ARM) share price on the expected repayment date and using a discount rate of 9.8%, was applied to determine the prior year's fair value. A 74 basis point change in the discount rate, which would represent a reasonably possible change based on expected movements in lending rates, would not cause a material change in the fair value of the loan.
(e) The consideration for the Mponeng operations and related assets (refer to note 13) includes a contingent consideration determined using the expected gold production profile for Mponeng at a post-tax real rate of 10.3%. Should the expected gold production profile increase by 7% or decrease by 7%, the contingent consideration liability would increase by R208 million or decrease by R183 million, respectively. This represents reasonably expected changes which were determined based on the standard deviation of previous years' production of the Mponeng operation.
The carrying values (less any impairment allowance) of short-term financial instruments are assumed to approximate their fair values. This includes restricted investments carried at amortised cost. The fair values of borrowings are not materially different to their carrying amounts since the interest payable on those borrowings is at floating interest rates. The fair value of borrowings is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. The determination of the fair values are level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.
