Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2019 1
STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF SIBANYE-STILLWATER
Considering the impact of the extended strike at the SA gold operations, which significantly disrupted operations for the entire six month period, the Group operating and financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 are sound, with improved financial results from the SA and US PGM operations offsetting losses from the SA gold operations. The results clearly validate the successful strategic commodity and geographical growth and diversification of the Group into the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) sector and internationally, through the acquisition of the Stillwater Mining Company. This diversification continues to provide the company with significant operational flexibility.
Over the last 18 months the Group has been confronted with a series of unprecedented challenges. We have successfully navigated our way through this challenging period and I am confident that we have emerged in a stronger position. The Group has been re-energised and we are well positioned to continue delivering very significant value to all of our stakeholders in the future.
The first and potentially most damaging challenge we faced was the unparalleled spate of safety incidents in H1 2018 which caused the tragic loss of 21 of our colleagues. The entire Group was traumatised by these incidents, which posed a tangible threat to the future viability of the Group. The manner in which this crisis was managed and decisively dealt with was commendable and testament to the strength and quality of the Sibanye-Stillwater management team. I am pleased to report that the SA gold operations have not only re-established their previous leading safety performance, but significantly improved on it.
On 26 August 2019 the SA gold operations celebrated a full year (365 days) without any fatalities, a historic milestone which has never before been achieved in the history of these gold operations, with a record seven million shifts worked without any fatalities. This is an admirable achievement considering that more than 30,000 employees are mining at depths extending to more than 3 km below surface. To put this achievement into context, our US PGM operations which employ approximately 1,700 people have been fatality free since October 2011 and in this time have achieved 2,386,020 fatality free shifts. The intense focus on safe production across the Group operations continues, with the implementation of longer term safety and cultural interventions a strategic priority.
Whilst still recovering from these tragic events, the SA gold operations were confronted with industrial action called by AMCU on 21 November 2018, which further disrupted production at all of the gold operations. Purportedly related to wage negotiations, the strike extended for approximately five months before it was successfully resolved, when AMCU accepted the same wage increases and other terms agreed six-months earlier with the other unions. From the financial results it is evident the cost of the strike was extensive; however, it is still significantly less than the demands of AMCU expressed over the life of the operations.
There are no winners in a strike, and regrettably, those worst affected are our employees – this is particularly true of extended strikes, which continue to impact negatively on communities and employees long after work has resumed. Employees seldom, if ever, recover wages lost during strikes and it is unfortunate that their interests are not always taken into account by parties who are meant to represent them. Historical mechanisms utilised by union leaders to receive mandates at mass meetings, where peer pressure and intimidation is significant are examples of this, with these mandates often obtained from a minority of union members. Fortunately earlier this year legislation was introduced in South Africa that requires unions to amend their constitutions to ensure that secret ballots are conducted to obtain a mandate from their members to proceed on a strike. We will be observing whether this aspect is properly complied with should we end up with a wage dispute during the current platinum negotiations.
We do not believe that any of our employees have an appetite for, or wish to endure, another strike, and we will continue to engage with the representative unions in the interest of securing an agreement which is fair to our employees, but considers, and does not compromise the sustainability of the operations and the interests of our other stakeholders. We believe that a reasonable and mutually beneficial outcome is achievable, and will not be coerced into making decisions which are not consistent with our values. The Group is in a significantly more robust operating and financial position than it was in H2 2018 and our strategic commodity and geographic diversification, ensures that the Group is appropriately positioned and sufficiently robust to endure any challenges that we may face.
The production build up at the SA gold operations post the gold strike, incorporating the downscaled and re-structured operating footprint at Driefontein and Beatrix, has been safely implemented. Due to cost saving measures implemented during the strike, including switching off ventilation and refrigeration in areas that were not in production, a more measured and prolonged build up was required to make the operations production ready and to manage the safe resumption of operations. Despite production for Q2 2019 increasing by 41% relative to Q1 2019, the Q2 2019 financial performance only improved marginally due to full labour costs and other overheads being incurred during May and June. With production normalising from August 2019, a turnaround in the financial performance of the SA gold operations is anticipated in H2 2019. This performance will be enhanced if the spot rand gold price persists at current levels.
The SA gold operations are significantly leveraged to the spot rand gold price. The hedging programme initiated in Q4 2017 to manage downside financial risk partially at the SA gold operations, was suspended in early June 2019, following the conclusion of the strike. Approximately 7,790 kg (250,545oz) or 23% of normalised production over a 12-month period has been hedged through zero cost collars with a floor price of R610,400/oz and a cap price of R668,300/kg. Approximately 40% of the hedged production is due for delivery during Q3 2019, with the remaining 60% due over the following three quarters, providing approximately 90% exposure to the spot rand gold price from Q3 2019.
The US PGM operations delivered another robust and improved financial result and continued to provide valuable diversification benefits for the Group. Despite a slow operational start to the year, adjusted EBITDA increased by 36% year-on-year to R2,959 million (US$208 million). A comprehensive plan to address the operational issues which constrained production during Q1 2019 has been implemented, with the operational performance for Q2 2019 much improved in comparison to Q1 2019 (production increased by 17% quarter-on-quarter, with costs declining by 13%) and is expected to improve further during H2 2019.
To ensure safe production, poor ground conditions at Blitz have necessitated the introduction of additional support in the form of 20-foot cable anchors and shotcreting. This has resulted in a temporary slowdown in development and advance rates at Blitz, negatively impacting productivity. Although these challenging ground conditions are being worked through, Blitz is expected to be behind plan for the remainder of this year. Annual mined production is now forecast to be between 625,000 2Eoz and 640,000 2Eoz marginally below the previous guidance range with All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) between US$740/2Eoz and US$755/2Eoz also elevated due to impact of higher PGM prices on taxes and royalties. The Fill-the-Mill (FTM) project remains on schedule, which together with the production build-up at Blitz, is expected to continue driving revenue higher and costs lower over the next two years.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2019 2
The SA PGM operations again delivered steady operating results, with solid cost management delivering significant leverage to the increased rand PGM basket price and boosting financial results. A 34% increase in the average rand PGM basket price resulted in adjusted EBITDA for H1 2019 increasing by 106% year-on-year to R2,061 million (US$145 million), with the average adjusted EBITDA margin increasing from 15% in H1 2018 to 33% in H1 2019. Including estimated adjusted EBITDA from the Rustenburg operations which was deferred following the change from a Purchase of Concentrate (PoC) to Toll processing arrangement, pro-forma adjusted EBITDA from the SA PGM operations would have been R202 million(US$14 million) higher at R2,263 million (US$159 million). Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from the SA PGM operations for H2 2019 is likely to be substantially higher, with the spot rand 4E PGM basket price of over R20,000/4Eoz currently 15% higher than for H1 2019 and the Marikana operations that became part of the Group through the acquisition of Lonmin set to contribute financially for the entire six month period.
Following the favourable Competition Appeal Court ruling on AMCU’s appeal of the Competition Tribunal merger findings and receipt of shareholder approvals, the Lonmin acquisition was concluded in early June 2019. The Lonmin acquisition now provides Sibanye-Stillwater’s SA PGM operations with full “mine-to-market” capability. Substantial work is required to address current productivity levels at the Marikana underground operations, with production well below plan and operating costs unsustainably high. A review of the entire business, including the first generation shafts slated for closure by Lonmin in December 2017, is currently underway and will be concluded during Q3 2019. Whilst the improved PGM price environment may justify extending the operating lives of some of these operations thereby mitigating the impact on job losses, a number of shafts have finite reserves and derive limited benefit from higher PGM basket prices. Further detail will be provided following the completion of this review.
Deleveraging continues to be a strategic priority, with current balance sheet leverage elevated compared with the historical levels maintained by the Group prior to the acquisition of Stillwater. The planned Group deleveraging has been delayed due to the impact of the operational disruptions at the SA gold operations in 2018 and H1 2019 on Group adjusted EBITDA and cash flow.
The negative impact of the strike on Group EBITDA in H1 2019 was offset by the improved profitability of both the SA and US PGM operations, with the US$245 million (R3.45 billion) capital which was raised in April 2019 through an equity placement and a gold pre-pay, improving liquidity and reducing debt. Net debt reduced to R20,911 million (US$1,483 million) from R25,157 million (US$1,832 million) at the end of H1 2018. As a result, Group leverage, as measured for covenant purposes, only marginally regressed to 2.5x at the end of H1 2019, well below the covenant ceiling of 3.5x.
The outlook for precious metal prices remains robust, with gold having broken decisively through major multi-year resistance levels at around US$1,350/oz close to the end of Q2 2019, the palladium price have remained resilient despite repeated pullbacks from speculative surges and platinum staging a modest recovery. The rhodium price continues to rise, reaching record levels last seen a decade ago, due to a sustained structural deficit in the market. Importantly, these developments are occurring in a relatively strong US dollar environment, and have enabled the rand gold price to exceed the all-time record levels set in 2016 in a much weaker rand climate. Despite the potential risks to global growth arising from ongoing trade hostilities between the USA and China, the fundamentals of the precious metal commodity markets remain structurally positive.
Under the current supportive precious metals price environment and with a more positive operational outlook, driven by the return to profitability of the SA gold operations, continued production growth at the US PGM operations, no major operational disruptions and the realisation of synergies from the Marikana operations will contribute positively to earnings and cash flow in H2 2019 and beyond, which would facilitate rapid deleveraging, supporting the possible resumption of cash dividends during 2020.
CORPORATE ACTION
Lonmin acquisition
As previously announced all conditions precedent to the Lonmin acquisition were fulfilled on 7 June 2019 and the transaction was implemented on 10 June 2019, when the Lonmin shares were suspended on the London Stock Exchange. For the Lonmin acquisition Sibanye-Stillwater issued 290,394,531 new shares, to the shareholders of Lonmin, worth R4,307 million*. Lonmin has a 30 September year end and is consolidated from 1 June 2019 based on its results to 30 June 2019.
The rationale for this transaction remains compelling and the integration of Lonmin’s PGM assets with Sibanye-Stillwater’s adjacent PGM operations, will ensure a more sustainable and positive future for all these assets. The transaction establishes the Sibanye-Stillwater Group as the largest primary producer of platinum and second largest primary palladium and rhodium producer with a unique geographical and PGM mix. The initial value accretion is also recognised in the financial accounts with a gain on acquisition of R1,093 million.
The Lonmin operations, referred to as the Marikana operations since acquisition, have been consolidated in these operating and financial results for the month ended 30 June 2019 and will continue to be consolidated in H2 2019, which is expected to have a positive impact on production and financial metrics as well as platinum and palladium Reserves and Resources. Further information on the transaction is available at: https://www.sibanyestillwater.com/investors/transactions/lonmin.
*Sibanye-Stillwater’s closing share price of R14.58 as at 10 June 2019 multiplied by the 290.4 million shares issued to Lonmin shareholders.
Marathon project
On 26 June 2019, Sibanye-Stillwater announced that it had entered into an acquisition agreement (“the Agreement”) with Generation Mining Limited (“Gen Mining”) to further the development of the PGM-copper Marathon project, situated in northern Ontario, Canada (“Marathon” or the “Marathon project”). The Marathon project was acquired by Sibanye-Stillwater as part of the Stillwater acquisition in May 2017.
Sibanye-Stillwater received upfront proceeds in the form of CAD3.0 million cash and 11,053,795 shares at a price of CAD0.2714 per share in Gen Mining (an equity interest of 12.9%) on closing of the transaction. Gen Mining will acquire a 51% interest in the Marathon project and form an unincorporated joint venture with Stillwater Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sibanye-Stillwater.
The Agreement will enable Gen Mining, a focused exploration company, to advance the Marathon project and to conclude further economic studies towards the development of this asset. The conclusion of the transaction was subject to customary conditions for a transaction of this nature and closed on 10 July 2019. Accordingly the Marathon project asset has been disclosed assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Capital Raise
On 10 April and 11 April 2019 respectively, the completion of a R1.7 billion/US$120 million share placing and the conclusion of a forward gold sale arrangement to raise approximately R1.75 billion/US$125 million were announced. The capital was raised to enhance balance sheet flexibility and ensure that the Sibanye-Stillwater was appropriately positioned and sufficiently robust to endure any exogenous challenges. Shortly after the transactions were announced, AMCU’s strike at the SA gold operations was successfully resolved, validating the pre-emptive strategic decision to raise the capital.

Dissenting shareholder ruling
On 21 August 2019 the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the United States of America ruled in favour of the Company 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 the Company in May 2017 for a cash consideration of US$18 per Stillwater share.
In terms of the ruling, the dissenting shareholders (together owning an approximate 4.5% shareholding in Stillwater at the time) will receive the same US$18 per share consideration originally offered to, and accepted by other Stillwater shareholders plus interest. The remaining payment of US$21 million due to the dissenting shareholders has been fully provided for by Sibanye-Stillwater and therefore no adjustment to the provision is required.
These court proceedings are thus concluded, subject to any further proceedings required in the trial court to finalise a judgement and any appeals that may be lodged.
OUTLOOK
Due to the challenging ground conditions at Blitz, mined production for 2019 from the US PGM operations is now forecast at between 625,000 2Eoz and 640,000 2Eoz, marginally below the previous guidance range. As a result of the reduced production forecast, together with higher costs associated with the increase in the 2E PGM basket price, AISC is forecast to be between US$740/2Eoz and US$755/2Eoz. With regard to price, for every US$100/2Eoz change in the PGM basket price, royalties and mine related taxes (severance and property) increase by approximately US$7/2Eoz. Capital expenditure is expected to be at the lower end of guidance of between US$235 million and US$245 million. These operational challenges are expected to be temporary and are not expected to impact on the production build up at Blitz to approximately 300,000 2Eoz by 2022 or the FTM project, which is forecast to add 45,000 2Eoz to annual production in 2021.
The PGM production from the SA PGM operations (excluding the Marikana operations) remains unchanged, although annual production (excluding the Marikana operations) is expected to be at the upper end of guidance of between 1,000,000oz to 1,100,000oz and AISC within annual guidance of between R12,500/4Eoz and R13,200/4Eoz (US$922/4Eoz and US$974/4Eoz). Capital expenditure is forecast at R1,400 million (US$103 million).
The SA gold operations are expected to produce between 16,000kg and 17,000kg (514,411 oz and 546, 562 oz) with AISC of between R590,000/kg and R630,000/kg (or US$1,350/oz and US$1450/oz) for H2 2019, while annual production for 2019 is forecast at between 24,000kg to 25,000kg (771,617 oz to 803,768 oz). AISC will remain elevated on average, at between R715,000/kg and R750,000/kg (or US$1,640/oz and US$1,725/oz), due to the higher unit costs from H1 2019 as a result of the strike. Capital expenditure for the SA gold operations for 2019 is forecast at about R2,350 million (US$173 million), which includes approximately R220 million (US$16 million) of project capital. Approximately R1,900 million (US$140 million) of this capital expenditure has been scheduled for H2 2019.
The H2 2019 and annual dollar guidance is based on an average exchange rate of R13.55/US$.

SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP SAFETY AND OPERATING REVIEW
Safety
There have been no fatalities at the SA gold operations since August 2018, marking a full year without fatalities and with a significant milestone of seven million fatality free shifts achieved on 26 August 2019. This is a notable achievement for ultra-deep gold mines and a record for these operations, which have been operating for many decades. This commendable improvement in safety was achieved in spite of disruptions associated with the extended strike, and the heightened risks of resuming production from workplaces that were dormant for more than five months.
Two fatalities regrettably occurred at the SA PGM operations during H1 2019. Madodana Manzenze, a rock drill operator and Johannes Tumelo, a winch operator, both from the Thembelani mine, were fatally injured in separate fall of ground incidents on 20 March 2019 and 5 June 2019 respectively. Whilst still under investigation, specific issues regarding safety compliance were identified and corrective action taken. The SA PGM operations also suffered two fatalities during H1 2018, resulting in the Fatal Injury Frequency Rate remaining constant year-on-year at 0.07 (per million hours worked). The SA PGM operations achieved 1.4 million fatality free shifts before the second fatality on 5 June 2019 and closed H1 2019 on 445,000 fatality free shifts versus the 2.1 million fatality free shifts at the end of H1 2018.
There has been a meaningful improvement in the safety performance of the US PGM operations since the first quarter of 2019, which started poorly with 28% of reportable injuries experienced for the year to date, occurring in January 2019. The Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) (per million hours worked) for the US PGM operations improved from 18.2 for H1 2018 to 16.8 for H1 2019.
As part of our continued focus on safe production, our Real risk reduction initiatives are ongoing while our safe production leadership and culture intervention remain on track. We are also focussed on implementing the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System.
OPERATING REVIEW
US PGM operations
Mined production for H1 2019 of 284,773 2Eoz was 3% lower than the comparable period in 2018, with challenging production conditions in Q1 2019 entirely responsible for the year-on-year variance. AISC of US$772/2Eoz, was18% higher as a result of the production shortfall and additional contractor costs incurred to restore operational flexibility during Q2 2019. In Q1 2019, deteriorating ground conditions at East Boulder necessitated the need for rehabilitation mining before drilling could recommence, thereby impacting panel inventory during the quarter. In addition, Stillwater West and Blitz were negatively impacted by lower ore grades during Q1 2019, coupled with initial paste-fill challenges at Stillwater West. Recovery plans were initiated during Q1 2019 resulting in a recovery to planned levels at Stillwater West, with East Boulder expected to claw back lost production by year end, ending the year at planned output levels. To ensure safe production, poor ground conditions at Blitz necessitated the introduction of additional support, in the form of 20-foot cable anchors and shotcreting. This caused a temporary slowdown in development and advance rates at Blitz, negatively impacting productivity. Although these challenging ground conditions are being addressed, Blitz is expected to be behind plan for the remainder of this year. These operational challenges are expected to be temporary and are not expected to impact on the production build up at Blitz to approximately 300,000 2Eoz by 2022.
Due to the implementation of the recovery plan, mined PGM production for Q2 2019 increased by 18% compared with Q1 2019 to 153,874 2Eoz and AISC declining by 14% from US$833/2Eoz for Q1 2019 to US$720/2Eoz for Q2 2019. The operational recovery has continued in Q3 2019 and a significant improvement in mined production and costs is forecast for H2 2019.
Re-commissioning of the second electric furnace (EF2) in February 2019 enabled record throughput of mined and recycled material through the Columbus Metallurgical Complex for H1 2019 processing 326,434 2Eoz of mined material and 421,450 3Eoz of recycled material, a total increase of 12% relative to H1 2018. During the period the recycling operation fed an average of 26.3 tonnes of material per day (tpd) (11% higher than for H1 2018), significantly drawing down on smelter inventory accumulated during 2018 and releasing working capital.
The average PGM basket price for H1 2019 of US$1,285/2Eoz was 29% higher than for the comparative period in 2018, enabling a 36% increase in adjusted EBITDA from the US PGM operations for H1 2019 to US$208 million (R2,959 million), with the recycling operations contributing US$21 million (R305 million) to the total. Due to the increase in volumes of lower margin recycled material fed, the average adjusted EBITDA margin for the US PGM operations in H1 2019 was 26%, with the adjusted EBITDA margin for the mining operations increasing from 50% in H1 2018 to 57% in H1 2019. At spot PGM prices, the US PGM operations free-cash margin is approximately 30%, which, together with cash generated from the inventory drawdown and increased recycling throughput at the Columbus Metallurgical Complex, has enabled principle debt repayments of US$105 million.
Capital expenditure for H1 2019 of US$112 million included US$67 million growth capital investment at the Blitz and FTM.
SA Operations
SA PGM operations
For reporting purposes, the Lonmin assets (the Marikana operations and the refining complex located in Brakpan, referred to as the Precious Metals Refinery (PMR) )have been incorporated as a separate management section within the SA PGM operations for the month ended 30 June 2019.
On a like-for-like basis (excluding the Marikana operations), the SA PGM operations continued to deliver steadily, with attributable PGM production of 547,034 4Eoz and AISC of R12,618/4Eoz (US$889/4Eoz) in line with annual guidance.
H1 2019 chrome sales of 459,334 tonnes were significantly higher than the 359,204 tonnes in H1 2018 due to a greater availability of cargo vessels relative to early 2018. Chrome revenue of R711 million for H1 2019 was therefore higher than the H1 2018 chrome revenue of R506 million (excluding the Marikana operations).
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2019 5
Ongoing strength in palladium and rhodium prices (which comprise approximately 31% and 9% of the 4E prill split, respectively) and a weaker rand exchange rate resulted in the average 4E PGM basket price increasing by 34% from R12,941/4Eoz (US$1,051/4Eoz) for H1 2018 to R17,377/4Eoz (US$1,224/4Eoz) for H1 2019.
The leverage of the SA PGM operations to the higher basket prices is evident in the significant increase in adjusted EBITDA from the SA PGM operations year-on-year, with adjusted EBITDA increasing by 106% from R1,001 million (US$81 million) in H1 2018 to R2,061 million (US$145 million) and R1,873 million (US$132 million) (excluding the Marikana operations) in H1 2019, and the adjusted EBITDA margin increasing from 15% to 33%.
Notably, this increase in adjusted EBITDA was despite an estimated R202 million (US$14 million) of proforma adjusted EBITDA from the Rustenburg operations not being reflected in the period due to the accounting treatment of the change from a PoC to Toll processing arrangement. Including the deferred proforma adjusted EBITDA for the Rustenburg operations, total pro-forma adjusted EBITDA would have been R2,263 million (US$159 million) for H1 2019, a 68% increase year-on-year. Moreover, this total does not include a further R417 million (US$29 million) of attributable adjusted EBITDA from the Mimosa JV, with attributable earnings from Mimosa reported below the line.
The 4E PGM basket price for Q3 2019 to date, has averaged approximately R18,568/4Eoz (US$1,273/4Eoz), 7% higher than for H1 2019, and if sustained, suggests further increases in adjusted EBITDA and cash flows from the SA PGM operations in H2 2019.
PGM production from the Rustenburg operations of 342,680 4Eoz for H1 2019 was 10% lower than for the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to reduced throughput of lower grade surface material, which is less economic under the Toll arrangement. Safety stoppages at the Thembelani shaft during the period also contributed to underground production from the Rustenburg operations declining 6% year-on-year. Consistent with the change to the processing arrangement, AISC for H1 2019 was higher, averaging R13,649/4Eoz (US$961/4Eoz).
In terms of the toll arrangement with Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo American Platinum) effective from 1 January 2019, Sibanye-Stillwater pays an agreed toll fee to Anglo American Platinum to smelt and refine concentrate from the Rustenburg operations, but retains ownership of the refined 4E metal produced. From a financial reporting perspective, Sibanye-Stillwater will receive and recognise all the recovered metal at the full average 4E PGM basket price once sold and no longer reflects a discount in its revenue, though costs and unit costs will be higher than under the PoC arrangement, reflecting the additional tolling costs. At the current spot 4E PGM basket price, the net financial impact of this contractual change is positive, with the increased revenue more than offsetting the additional toll cost and as a result is beneficial both commercially and strategically.
Despite deferral of adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, the Rustenburg operations achieved adjusted EBITDA of R1,070 million (US$75 million) for H1 2019 with the adjusted EBITDA margin increasing from 15% in H1 2018 to 44% in H1 2019. As a result of the improved profitability of the Rustenburg operations, a R283 million cash payment was made to Anglo American Platinum during H1 2019, reducing the deferred payment obligation to for the balance of the Rustenburg acquisition price to R2,012 million (US$143 million).
Kroondal continued its strong performance, with 4E PGM production of 131,781oz, 9% higher than for the comparable period in 2018 and AISC of R10,454/4Eoz (US$736/4Eoz), flat year-on-year, reflecting a real reduction in unit costs. Adjusted EBITDA from Kroondal increased by 247% year-on-year to R772 million (US$54 million), a margin of 34% (15% in H1 2018).
Attributable PGM production from Mimosa of 60,831 4Eoz was 2% lower than for H1 2018, with the operations performing well despite the turbulent political and economic environment in Zimbabwe. AISC of US$832/4Eoz (R11,815/4Eoz) was elevated due to exchange rate volatility and weakness. Attributable adjusted EBITDA from Mimosa (not included in Group adjusted EBITDA), increased by 28% to R417 million (US$29 million) at a 38% margin.
The Marikana operations have been unable to repeat the production levels achieved for the year ended 30 September 2018, which enabled Lonmin to generate an operating profit for the first time in five years. Current levels of production are well below plan, with costs exceeding plan and reflect ongoing underperformance at these operations since the beginning of 2019. The Marikana operations produced 80,957 4Eoz at AISC of R16,930/4Eoz (US$1,192/4Eoz) for the month of June since incorporation.
A full review of the Marikana operations and projects is well advanced and the outcomes of this review are anticipated in Q3 2019 and will be communicated to stakeholders in due course. As per the conditions agreed with the Competition authorities in November 2018 a moratorium on retrenchments at the Lonmin operations for a period of six-months from the implementation date is in place, although this excludes any voluntary separation agreements and ordinary course of business terminations. In terms of the conditions agreed with the Competition authorities the Company is also not prevented from initiating proceedings in terms of Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act, 66 of 1995 (LRA), provided that forced separations pursuant to such proceedings may not be finalised before six months from implementation of the transaction.
SA gold operations
Gold production from the SA gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) for H1 2019 of 8,178 kg (262,928 oz) was 56% lower than for the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to the impact of the AMCU industrial action which extended from 22 November 2018 to 17 April 2019, affecting production for the entire period including the post-strike ramp up. Production for Q2 2019 was also impacted by an underground fire and seismicity at Kloof and the closure of the loss making Driefontein 6 and 7 shafts and Beatrix 1 shaft, following consultation with relevant stakeholders in terms of Section 189A of the LRA, which was concluded in May 2019.
The operating results for Q2 2019 were significantly better than for Q1 2019, with the build-up to normalised production at the SA gold operations following the conclusion of the five month strike proceeding steadily. The financial results only improved modestly however, with costs remaining elevated due to full labour costs and other overheads being incurred throughout May and June, post the cessation of the strike. Gold production for Q2 2019 was 41% higher than for Q1 2019 at 6,266 kg (210,456 oz), with AISC declining by 9% quarter-on-quarter, to R834,216/kg (US$1,803/oz) and the adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2 2019 of R1,294 million (US$90 million), only R317 million (US$22 million) less than for Q1 2019. The impact of the 56% decline in production is evident in the 67% increase in AISC to R869,141/kg (US$1,904/oz) for H1 2019. The average rand gold price received for H1 2019 improved 15% to R597,360/kg from R519,994 kg for H1 2018.
H2 2019 production is forecast to be significantly higher than for H1 2019 at between 16,000 kg and 17,000 kg (498,000 oz and 530,000oz) due to normalisation of production consistent with the re-structured operating footprint at the Driefontein and Beatrix operations from August 2019. This is equivalent to an annualised run rate of approximately 34,000 kg to 35,000 kg (1.10 Moz to 1.15 Moz), which should be sustainable into 2020. Whilst the normalisation of production will significantly reduce unit costs in H2 2019,
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2019 6
higher than normal levels of capital expenditure (to compensate for capital underspend in H1 2019 during the strike period) and restructuring costs, will result in temporarily elevated AISC of between R590,000/kg and R630,000/kg (or US$1,350/oz and US$1,450/oz) for H2 2019. Indicatively, AISC would have been between approximately R550,000/kg and R580,000/kg (or US$1,260/oz and US$1,330/oz) excluding the additional capital expenditure.
The average rand gold price for Q3 2019 to date, is approximately R672,000/kg, with the spot gold price currently 9% higher at R732,000/kg. Should current spot prices persist, the SA gold operations are likely to make a positive contribution to both Group adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in H2 2019.
The individual operations were affected to varying degrees by the AMCU strike during the period, with differences in the operational performance being a function of different union membership at the operations, which ultimately influenced the number of people reporting for work and hence production relative to normalised levels. This is evident in the significantly lower production and elevated costs for H2 2019 reported by Driefontein (approximately 67% AMCU) compared with H1 2018, with Kloof (approximately 34% AMCU) and Beatrix (approximately 37% AMCU) affected to a lesser extent.
Underground production from Kloof of 3,692 kg (118,700 oz) was 46% lower than for H1 2018. During the strike action all the shafts operated but only at reduced rates in line with available production labour. The aforementioned fire at Kloof 4 shaft, which started on 12 June 2019 in an abandoned area, resulted in a delay in the planned production build-up. The underground yield increased by 4% due to a combination of an improved underground mined grade achieved by optimising the mining mix, and a focus on cleaning activities during the strike period. In order to offset the impact of the strike on underground production, available mill capacity was utilised to process surface rock dump (SRD) material. Throughput for surface sources increased by 20% to 3,251,000 tonnes, although gold produced from surface increased by only 2% to 1,158 kg (37,231 oz) due to processing of lower grade SRDs.
Underground gold production from Beatrix of 1,689 kg (54,303 oz) was 60% lower than for H1 2018. During the strike action production was less than half of normalised levels at Beatrix 3 shaft while Beatrix 4 shaft was completely shut down during Q1 2019. The underground yield decreased 9% from 3.5g/t to 3.2g/t, largely as a result of a 14% increase in shortfall due to cleaning-up operations during the strike period. Gold produced from surface sources increased by 192% to 307 kg (9,900 oz) due to the additional surface tons processed (729 tonnes for H2 2019 compared with 284 tonnes for H1 2018) during the strike period.
Underground gold production from Driefontein was impacted the most, decreasing by 87% to 690 kg (22,184 oz). During the strike period, only limited production took place at Driefontein 8 shaft and Driefontein 1 shaft while production was entirely suspended at the other shafts. The build-up in production is progressing as planned, and is expected to reach normal levels (for the reduced footprint) during Q3 2019. Production from surface sources at Driefontein has all but stopped due to the depletion of surface sources and sale of surface assets to DRDGOLD in 2018, with only 3 kg (96 oz) produced from Driefontein surface sources. The plant continues to mill surface sources from the nearby Kloof surface rock dumps on a toll treatment basis.
DRDGOLD delivered a solid operating and financial performance with completion of the first phase of its Far West Gold Recoveries project (FWGR), following the acquisition of the Driefontein and Kloof tailings storage facilities and processing assets, well timed to deliver increased production, at a lower cost, into a rising gold price environment. Attributable production increased by 35% for H1 2019 to 2,545 kg (81 824 oz) due to the commissioning of the FWGR and being consolidated for the full six months with AISC 9% lower at R527,453/kg (US$1,155/oz). DRDGOLD’s contribution to Group adjusted EBITDA rose sharply as a result of being included for the full six month period, the improved operational performance and a 7% increase the average gold price received to R597,152/kg (US$1,314/oz), increasing five-fold from R36 million (US$3 million) to R210 million (US$15 million).
Due to the sharp increase in DRDGOLD’s share price, the value of Sibanye-Stillwater’s 38% equity shareholding in DRDGOLD had risen to approximately R1,930 million by 28 August 2019, a significant return on investment.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP
| | |
For the six months ended 30 JUNE 2019 (H1 2019) compared with the six months ended 30 june 2018 (H1 2018) Direct comparison of the SA rand results for the Group is difficult as Stillwater’s results are translated to SA rand at the average exchange rate, which for H1 2019 of R14.20/US$ was 15% weaker than for H1 2018 of R12.31/US$. A direct comparison of Stillwater’s US dollar results, therefore, is also included. Further to this, the consolidation of the Lonmin group (referred to as the Marikana operations) operating and financial results for one month in H1 2019 and inclusion of DRDGOLD for the full six months in H1 2019 (compared with none in H1 2018) makes direct comparison with the financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 difficult. 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: Figures in millions - SA rand | | production ramp up post the strike. This decrease was partly offset by a 15% weaker rand. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation increased by 5% to R20,662 million (US$1,455 million). Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation excluding DRDGOLD and the Marikana operations decreased by 8% to R18,150 million (US$1,278 million). Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations increased by 30% to US$587 million (R8,333 million) due to increased recycling volumes. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations, excluding the Marikana operations decreased by 49% to R2,897 million (US$204 million) due to the transition to the Toll processing agreement. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD decreased by 17% to R6,920 million (US$487 million) due to the effect of the strike at the SA gold operations, partly offset by above inflation increases in wages. |

Notes, and US$ Convertible Bond in September 2018. Sibanye-Stillwater’s average outstanding gross debt, including the Marikana operations, excluding the Burnstone Debt and including the derivative financial instrument, was approximately R25.3 billion in H1 2019 compared with approximately R26.2 billion in H1 2018. For additional information on Sibanye-Stillwater’s borrowings, see note 11 of the financial statements.
Gain/loss on financial instruments
The net loss on financial instruments of R536 million (US$37 million) for H1 2019 compares with a gain of R710 million (US$58 million) for H1 2018. This net loss included a fair value loss on the US$ Convertible Bond derivative financial instrument of R553 million (US$39 million), mainly due to the convertible bonds trading well above par, driven by the share price increase.
Non-recurring items
Gain on acquisition
A gain on acquisition of R1,093 million arose on the acquisition of Lonmin and is attributable to the transaction being attractively priced. For additional information on the Lonmin acquisition and related gain on acquisition, see note 7.1 of the financial statements.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs of R633 million (US$457 million) for H1 2019 included R247 million voluntary separation agreements at the Marikana operations and R386 million at the SA gold operations due to the notice that was given (on 14 February 2019) to relevant stakeholders regarding the restructuring of the SA gold operations, in terms of Section 189A of the Labour Relations Act, 66 of 1995 (S189). The S189 process was as a consequence of ongoing financial losses experienced at the Beatrix 1 shaft and Driefontein 2,6,7 and 8 shafts since 2017, with approximately 3,450 employees and 550 contractors being affected.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs of R98 million (US$7 million) for H1 2019 included advisory and legal fees of R20 million (US$2 million) related to the Lonmin acquisition, streaming transaction costs of R54 million (US$4 million) and legal fees of R10 million (US$1 million) related to the Stillwater Mining Company dissenting shareholders. Transaction costs of R193 million (US$16 million) for H1 2018 mainly included advisory and legal fees of R83 million (US$7 million) related to the Lonmin transaction and legal fees of R92 million (US$7 million) related to the Stillwater Mining Company dissenting shareholders claim.
Mining and income tax
Current tax including DRGDOLD and the Marikana operations increased by 326% from R154 million (US$13 million) to R656 million (US$46 million) due to the increase in taxable mining income for the period at the US and SA PGM operations.
The deferred tax credit increased from R70 million (US$6 million) to R2,798 million (US$197 million). During Q1 2019, the US PGM operations renegotiated its refining and certain sales agreements, resulting in the reversal of the Group deferred tax charge of R1,567 million (US$110 million) recognised in December 2018. The 2019 effective combined federal and state cash tax rates for the US segment are expected to be between 5% and 10%. The change of tax is a result of sales moving to a different tax jurisdiction.
The effective tax (credit) rate of 92% for H1 2019 was higher than the South African statutory company tax rate of 28% mainly due to the change in the estimate deferred tax rate at the US PGM operations (discussed above). The effective tax (expense) rate of 52% for H1 2018 was higher than the South African statutory company tax rate of 28% mainly due to an increase of deferred tax assets not recognised at the Cooke operations and Burnstone project. For additional information on Sibanye-Stillwater’s mining and income tax see note 4 of the financial statements.
Cash flow analysis
Sibanye-Stillwater defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities, before dividends paid, net interest paid and deferred revenue advance received, less additions to property, plant and equipment.
A free cash outflow of R2,281 million (US$161 million) compares with R18 million (US$2 million) for H1 2018.

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 SA rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation treats recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown |
| 2 | | The Marikana PGM operations’ results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 are for one month since acquisition |
| 3 | | Production per product – see prill split in the table below |
| 4 | | The Group and total 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 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 |
| 7 | | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |

| 8 | | All-in costs exclude 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 costs are made up of All-in sustaining costs, being the costs to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in costs 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 costs and All-in costs, 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 costs, see “All-in costs for the six months ended 30 June 2019, 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018” |

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
| 1 | | Operating cost is the average cost of production and 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 operatings 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 costs exclude 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 costs are made up of All-in sustaining costs, being the costs to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in costs 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 costs, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold in the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation to All-in costs, see “All-in costs for the six months ended 30 June 2019, 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018” |
| 4 | | Corporate project expenditure for the six months ended 30 June 2019, 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018 was R17.2 million (US$1.2 million), R58.1 million (US$3.5 million), and R143.0 million (US$11.7 million), respectively, the majority of which related to the Burnstone project |

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
1.Basis of accounting and preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements, except for the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, as set out below.
The condensed consolidated income statement, and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2018 were not reviewed by the Company’s auditor and were prepared by subtracting the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2018 from the audited comprehensive consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
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 and 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.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared by Sibanye-Stillwater’s Group financial reporting team headed by Jacques Le Roux. This process was supervised by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Charl Keyter and approved by the Sibanye-Stillwater board of directors.
1.1Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards effective on 1 January 2019 issued, effective and adopted by the Group
IFRS 16 Leases was adopted with effect from 1 January 2019. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for most leases under a single on-balance sheet model. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. Under the new standard, all lease contracts, with limited exceptions, are recognised in the financial statements by way of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. As a practical expedient, Sibanye-Stillwater applied the modified retrospective transition method, and consequently comparative information is not restated. The Group also elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).
Under the modified retrospective transition approach, lease payments were discounted at 1 January 2019 using an incremental borrowing rate representing the rate of interest that the entity within the Sibanye-Stillwater Group which entered into the lease would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The average rate applied is 4.05% for the US operations and 9.22% for the SA operations.
Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using entity-specific incremental borrowing rates. After initial recognition, the lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The impact of adopting of the new accounting standard on the statement of financial position on 1 January 2019 was as follows:
| · | | increase in right-of-use assets by R302.0 million |
| · | | increase in lease liabilities by R302.0 million |
| · | | no impact on accumulated loss |
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and restoration costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

1For the six months ended 30 June 2019, finance expense includes R149.4 million non-cash interest relating to the gold and palladium streaming arrangement with Wheaton Precious Metals International (Wheaton International). Although there is no cash financing cost related to this arrangement, IFRS 15 requires Sibanye-Stillwater to recognise a notional financing charge due to the significant time delay between receiving the upfront streaming payment and satisfying the related metal credit deliveries. A discount rate of 5.4% was used in determining the finance expense to be recognised as part of the steaming transaction

1At the end of 2017 and during 2018, Sibanye-Stillwater began a hedging programme for Sibanye Gold Limited and Rand Uranium Proprietary Limited by entering into commodity hedging contracts. The contracts comprise gold zero cost collars which establish a minimum (floor) and maximum (cap) gold sales price. At 30 June 2019, the net rand gold forward sale contracts financial liability was R164.0 million, realised loss was R77.8 million and unrealised gain was R153.3 million. As hedge accounting is not applied, resulting gains or losses are accounted for as gains or losses on financial instruments in profit or loss
On 11 April 2019, Sibanye-Stillwater concluded a forward gold sale arrangement where the Group received a cash prepayment of US$125 million (approximately R1.75 billion) in exchange for the future delivery of 105,906 ounces (3,294 kilograms) of gold in four equal parts on 1 October 2019, 15 October 2019, 31 October 2019 and 15 November 2019, subject to a floor price of US$1,200/oz and a cap price of US$1,323/oz (gold prepayment). At 30 June 2019, the forward gold sale contracts financial liability (and unrealised loss) was R78.3 million (US$5.5 million)

6.Dividends
Dividend policy
Sibanye-Stillwater’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, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, occupational healthcare expense, restructuring costs, transactions costs, share-based payment on BEE transaction, gain on acquisition, other business development costs, share of results of equity-accounted investees, after tax, and changes in estimated deferred tax rate. Due to normalised earnings being negative, the Board has not declared a dividend for the period.

7.Acquisitions
7.1Lonmin acquisition
On 14 December 2017, Sibanye-Stillwater announced that it had reached agreement with Lonmin Plc (Lonmin) on the terms of a recommended all-share offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Lonmin (the Lonmin Acquisition). The Lonmin Acquisition was effected by means of a scheme of arrangement between Lonmin and the Lonmin shareholders under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act. Under the initial terms of the Lonmin Acquisition, each Lonmin shareholder was entitled to receive: 0.967 new Sibanye-Stillwater shares for each Lonmin share (Initial offer).
On 25 April 2019, the boards of Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin reached agreement on the terms of an increased recommended all-share offer pursuant to which Sibanye-Stillwater, and/or a wholly owned subsidiary of Sibanye-Stillwater, will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Lonmin (the Increased Offer). Under the terms of the Increased Offer, Lonmin shareholders will be entitled to receive one new Sibanye-Stillwater share for each Lonmin share.
On 15 May 2018, Sibanye-Stillwater received South African Reserve Bank approval for the proposed acquisition of Lonmin and on 28 June 2018, the proposed Lonmin transaction was unconditionally cleared by the UK Competition and Markets Authority. On 21 November 2018, Sibanye-Stillwater announced that the Competition Tribunal had approved the proposed acquisition of Lonmin, subject to specific conditions. In addition to the conditions agreed between Sibanye-Stillwater and the Competition Commission, a further condition had been imposed by the Competition Tribunal, namely a moratorium on retrenchments at the Lonmin operations for a period of six months from the implementation date.
The Lonmin Transaction (or scheme) was approved by the UK Court and on 7 June 2019 (effective date) all the conditions precedent to the Lonmin Transaction were fulfilled. Sibanye-Stillwater obtained control of Lonmin on this date. The effective date of the implementation of the Lonmin Transaction was 10 June 2019, when Lonmin's listing on the Financial Conduct Authority's Official List and the trading of Lonmin shares on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities was suspended, and 290,394,531 new Sibanye-Stillwater shares were listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Lonmin has a 30 September year end and is consolidated from the effective date. For the month ended 30 June 2019, the Marikana operations contributed revenue of R1,369 million and a net loss of R153 million to the Group’s results before Sibanye-Stillwater Group adjustments.
The purchase price allocation (PPA) has been prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3 Business combinations. If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, identifies adjustments to the below amounts or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

The acquisition was subject to the fulfilment of various conditions precedent which were completed on 4 March 2019. Sibanye-Stillwater obtained control (100%) on this date.
The PPA has been prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3. If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, identifies adjustments to the below amounts or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

8.Right-of-use asset
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

| 1 | | Following the closing of the acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company on 4 May 2017, three petitions for appraisal of stock were filed in the Chancery Court for the State of Delaware. The first action, captioned Blue Mountain Credit Alternatives Master Fund L.P. et al. vs. Stillwater Mining Company, Case No. 2017-0385-JTL, was filed 19 May 2017, on behalf of holders of a purported 4,219,523 shares of common stock of the Company. The second action, captioned Brigade Leveraged Capital Structures Fund Ltd. et al. vs. Stillwater Mining Company, Case No. 2017-0389-JTL, was filed 22 May 2017, on behalf of holders of a purported 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The third action, captioned Hillary Shane Revocable Trust, et al. vs. Stillwater Mining Company, Case No. 2017-0400-JTL, was filed 26 May 2017, on behalf of holders of a purported 384,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the Shane Petitioners). On 29 August 2017, the three actions were consolidated into a single action, captioned In re Appraisal of Stillwater Mining Company, C.A. No. 2017-0385-JTL |
On 28 March 2018, Stillwater Mining Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Shane Petitioners, providing for a total settlement payment of US$7.0 million. Following settlement of the Shane Petitioners’ claims, the total number of shares of Stillwater Mining Company’s common stock subject to appraisal is approximately 5,419,523. The appraisal action seeks a determination of the fair value of the shares of the common stock of Stillwater Mining Company under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL). Petitioners seek a judgment awarding them, among other things, the fair value of their shares plus interest. A trial was held in December 2018. The parties completed post-trial briefing on 18 April 2019, and the court held oral argument on 1 May 2019. Accordingly, for accounting purposes only, we have used the merger price of US$18.00 per share in estimating our liability relating to the shares for which appraisal has been demanded, however, fair value may ultimately be determined by the court to be equal to, or different from, the merger price
On 21 August 2019, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the United States of America ruled in favour of the Company in the appraisal action brought by the dissenting shareholders of the Stillwater Mining Company (refer to note 17.2)

14.Deferred revenue
In July 2018, Sibanye-Stillwater entered into a gold and palladium supply arrangement in exchange for an upfront advance payment of US$500 million. 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 being 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 being 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 11 April 2019, Sibanye-Stillwater concluded a forward gold sale arrangement where the Group received a cash prepayment of US$125 million (approximately R1.75 billion) in exchange for the future delivery of 105,906 ounces (3,294 kilograms) of gold in 4 equal parts on 1 October 2019, 15 October 2019, 31 October 2019 and 15 November 2019, subject to a floor price of US$1,200/oz and a cap price of US$1,323/oz (gold prepayment). The revenue from the prepayment will be recognised in four equal parts of R437.8 million when the gold is delivered. The prepayment represents a payment of the floor price of US$1,200/oz. If the spot price on delivery of the gold ounces exceeds US$1,200/oz, capped to US$1,323/oz, Sibanye-Stillwater will receive the difference between the spot price and US$1,200/oz, which also will be recognised in revenue when the gold is delivered. At 30 June 2019, the forward gold sale contracts financial liability was US$5.5 million (R78.3 million).
The following table summarises the changes in deferred revenue:

15.2 Risk management activities
Liquidity risk: working capital and going concern assessment
For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group realised a loss of R181.2 million (30 June 2018: profit of R78.3 million). As of 30 June 2019, the Group’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by R5,363.7 million (31 December 2018: R562.7 million) and the Group’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities by R30,265.4 million (31 December 2018: R24,724.4 million). For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group generated cash from operating activities of R1,327.2 million (30 June 2018: R2,333.8 million).
Gold and PGMs are sold in US dollars with the majority of the South African operating costs incurred in rand, the Group’s results and financial condition may be impacted if there is a material change in the rand/US dollar exchange rate. Due to the nature of deep level mining, industrial accidents 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 and profits have been and may be adversely affected by labour unrests and union activity. These factors may have an impact on cash generated or utilised by the Group, as well as adjusted EBITDA and financial covenants.
As at 30 June 2019 the Group had committed undrawn debt facilities of R5,097 million (31 December 2018: R5,987 million) and cash balances of R6,000.4 million (31 December 2018: R2,549.1 million). In order to maintain adequate liquidity, the refinancing of the R6,000 million RCF, maturing on 15 November 2019, has been initiated and is expected to be successfully completed during September 2019. All other debt financing facilities mature after April 2022.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s leverage ratio (net debt to adjusted EBITDA) as at 30 June 2019 was 3.2:1 and its interest coverage ratio (adjusted EBITDA to net finance charges) was 4.7:1 (31 December 2018: 2.5:1 and 4.9:1). This is within the maximum permitted leverage ratio of at most 3.5:1 through to 31 December 2019, and 2.5:1 thereafter; and minimum required interest coverage ratio of 4.0:1, calculated on a quarterly basis, required under the US$600 million RCF and the R6.0 billion RCF (together RCFs). Whilst not ultimately utilised the RCF lenders approved additional temporary covenant uplifts for the periods ending 31 March 2019 and 30 June 2019, in order to ensure the Group retained adequate covenant headroom whilst navigating the accumulated impacts of the abnormal events detailed below.
With effect from 1 January 2019, in line with our mine-to-market strategy for the PGM operations, the offtake contract between the Rustenburg operations and Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo American Platinum) changed from a Sale and Purchase of Concentrate agreement to a Tolling agreement. Anglo American Platinum no longer purchases concentrate from the Rustenburg operations on delivery of the concentrate, but rather returns the refined 4E metals to the Rustenburg operations approximately four months after delivery of the concentrate allowing Sibanye-Stillwater to sell the refined metals in the market. The impact on cash flows has not been material, as Anglo American Platinum has continued to pay for the concentrate delivered in Q4 2018 during Q1 2019. The change however resulted in no adjusted EBITDA for the 4E metals produced by the Rustenburg operations during the first four months of 2019. This will, until the impact is no longer included in the 12 month trailing adjusted EBITDA calculation, continue to have a negative impact on future covenant ratio calculations.
On 17 April 2019, AMCU, one of Sibanye-Stillwater’s labour unions, ended its five month strike action at the gold operations, excluding DRDGOLD, with the business unit reporting a R3,114 million negative EBITDA for the six months to 30 June 2019. This strike action, and the ensuing return to normalised safe production post its conclusion, have resulted in adjusted EBITDA and cash flow losses. The return to planned production levels is expected during Q3 2019 and the gold operations may continue to incur losses until planned operational performance is achieved. The strike impact may therefore continue to have a negative impact on future adjusted EBITDA; reported covenant ratios and cash flows, and until the strike impact is excluded from the 12 month trailing adjusted EBITDA calculation.
Shortly before the conclusion of the gold operations strike, Sibanye-Stillwater effected an issue of 108,932,356 new ordinary no par value shares for cash under its general authority for an amount of R1.7 billion to institutional investors on 15 April 2019, and on 11 April 2019 executed a US$125 million gold prepayment arrangement (refer to note 14) to enhance liquidity and balance sheet flexibility. These funds were applied towards repayment of drawdowns previously made under the RCFs, increasing available undrawn facilities.
With the Lonmin acquisition effective from 7June 2019 (refer to note 7.1), the Group restructured the Lonmin group entities funding arrangements to minimise financing costs. The Lonmin Pangaea Investments Management Limited (PIM) prepayment arrangement (refer to note 7) was fully settled by cash on hand and available within the Lonmin group on 5 July 2019. Future restructuring and integration costs, as well as the Lonmin entities operational funding and liquidity requirements, will be managed within the Group’s funding and liquidity arrangements going forward. The acquired operations may incur losses until planned operational performance is achieved which may have a negative impact on future adjusted EBITDA and cash flows.
The SA PGM operations’ three yearly wage negotiations began during July 2019 and are yet to be concluded. The Group has contingency plans in place to mitigate the impact of any related strike action, but extended strike action could impact negatively on future adjusted EBITDA and cash flows. Whilst it is possible, given the scale and size of the businesses, that the daily impact of the strike could potentially be similar to the recent strike in the gold operations, should refining and processing be unaffected by a strike, metals in the refining pipeline would continue to be available for sale for a period of over three months potentially mitigating any initial or short term strike impacts significantly.
Notwithstanding the above events, the Group’s improved geographical and commodity diversification, along with improved commodity price outlook, a larger capital base, and increased operational scale have enabled management to successfully navigate the simultaneous impact of these abnormal events positioning the Group for a rapid return to its targeted leverage ratio of 1:1 by December 2020, as the impacts of the above events are diluted and trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA returns to a more normalised level.
If required the Group could increase operational flexibility by adjusting mine plans, reducing capital expenditure and/or selling assets. The Group may also, if necessary, consider options to increase funding flexibility which may include, among others, 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 if required. This gives management the operational and financing flexibility to continue to manage the operations and capital structure to ensure adequate liquidity and compliance with debt covenants.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months ended 30 June 2019 27
The directors believe that the cash generated by its operations, cash on hand, the committed unutilised debt facilities as well as additional funding opportunities will enable the Group to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
16.Contingent liabilities
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 (Sibanye-Stillwater) 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 alleges 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 seeks an unspecific amount of damages. The Defendants will be filing a motion to dismiss the Class Action, and briefing is scheduled to be completed by 30 September 2019. As the case is still in the early stages, it is not possible to determine the likelihood of success on the merits or any potential liability from the Class Action nor estimate the duration of the litigation. Sibanye-Stillwater intends to defend the case vigorously.
17.Events after the reporting period
There were no events that could have a material impact on the financial results of the Group after 30 June 2019, other than those discussed below.
17.1 Settlement in miners' silicosis class action case approved
On 26 July 2019 the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg approved the R5 billion settlement agreement in the silicosis class case.
The class action settlement agreement is between the Occupational Lung Disease Working Group companies (comprising African Rainbow Minerals, Anglo American SA, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, Harmony and Sibanye-Stillwater) and the settlement classes’ representatives as well as the settlement classes’ attorneys. 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. Sibanye-Stillwater has provided R1,331.4 million for its share of the settlement cost.
17.2 Delaware Court of Chancery rules in favour of Sibanye-Stillwater in dissenting shareholder action
On 21 August 2019, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the United States of America ruled in favour of the Company in the appraisal action brought by the dissenting shareholders of the Stillwater Mining Company, following the acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company by the Company in May 2017 for a cash consideration of US$18 per Stillwater Mining Company share.
In terms of the ruling, the dissenting shareholders (together owning an approximate 4.5% shareholding in Stillwater Mining Company at the time) will receive the same US$18 per share consideration originally offered to, and accepted by other Stillwater Mining Company shareholders plus interest. The remaining payment of US$21 million due to the dissenting shareholders has been fully provided for by Sibanye-Stillwater and therefore no adjustment to the provision is required.
The court proceedings are thus concluded, subject to any further proceedings required in the trial court to finalise a judgement and any appeals that may be lodged.
18.Review report of the independent auditor
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019, have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor, EY Inc., who expressed an unmodified review conclusion.
The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in these financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor’s engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s report together with the accompanying financial information from the Company’s registered office.

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 SA rand. In addition to the US PGM operations’ underground production, the operation treats recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown |
| 2 | | Rustenburg operations provisionally accounted for the tolling metals inventory during the quarter ended 31 March 2019 after costing by-products on a net realisable value basis after going from PoC to Toll treatment. Subsequent to the acquisition of Lonmin (and competition commission approval) and being allowed to integrate the Marikana operations, the Group decided to align Rustenburg operations’ accounting policy to that of the Marikana operations, who account for inventory on a relative value basis. It was therefore decided to restate the quarter one amounts of Rustenburg to retrospectively account for the change in accounting policy |
| 3 | | The Marikana PGM operations’ results for the quarter ended 30 June 2019 are for one month since acquisition |
| 4 | | Production per product – see prill split in the table below |
| 5 | | The Group and total SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks and capital exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales |
| 6 | | The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment |
| 7 | | Operating cost is the average cost of production and 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 |
| 8 | | All-in costs exclude 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 costs are made up of All-in sustaining costs, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in costs 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 costs and All-in costs, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period |
The US operations All-in-cost, excluding the corporate project expenditure (on the Altar and Marathon projects), for the quarters ended 30 June 2019 and 31 March 2019 was US$962/2Eoz and US$1,053/2Eoz, respectively
| 9 | | The US operations corporate expenditure for the quarters ended 30 June 2019 and 31 March 2019 was R2.2 million (US$0.2 million) and R1.6 million (US$0.1 million), respectively, which related to the Altar and Marathon projects |
