Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 1
STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF SIBANYE STILLWATER
The Group made significant progress delivering on all near-term strategic imperatives during the course of 2019, significantly de-risking the business and in the process establishing a solid base for the delivery of further value to stakeholders. Our strategic focus areas are shown in the diagram below.
Figure 1: Sibanye-Stillwater strategic focus areas

SAFE PRODUCTION
Most pleasing has been continued progress and improvement in safe production, with Group safety for 2019 improving from the fatalities which significantly affected our SA gold operations in H1 2018. On 27 January 2020, the SA gold operations achieved a significant milestone of 10 million fatality free shifts over a 17-month period. This is an unparalleled achievement in the history of our gold operations and in underground deep level mining. Milestones like these illustrate what can be achieved when all stakeholders work together and contribute constructively, and our appreciation goes to our employees, their union representatives and the Department of Minerals Resources and Energy for their invaluable assistance and input. Regrettably though, the Group suffered six fatalities during the year (all at the SA PGM operations). While this was a significant improvement from the 24 fatalities for 2018, our focus on safe production across the Group needs to continue if we are to prevent fatalities. The implementation of longer-term safety and cultural interventions is a strategic priority and we will strive to promote meaningful engagement with all our stakeholders as part of the safety improvement journey and in the further development of our safety culture.
ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) STRATEGY
Our ESG strategy has been formalised as a core pillar of the Group strategy. There is no doubt that increasingly exacting ESG expectations will shape the way the industry operates over the foreseeable future. A cohesive and integrated approach to management of ESG across the Group has been structured to meet the performance standards expected by our stakeholders.
The ESG strategy is consistent with the holistic and inclusive approach to business which we have followed since the inception of the Group. This is epitomised in our purpose: “Our mining improves lives”, which is fundamental to the way we do business and drives our decision making. We care about safe production, our stakeholders, our environment, our company and our future and we will continually strive to improve lives through our mining.
We have also committed to aligning our business practices and procedures with the best and most appropriate guiding principles in the industry. Progress has been made towards securing International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) membership in that the assurance and review by an Independent Expert Review Panel has been completed. Final ratification to become an ICMM member is expected on 25 February 2020. It is planned to assure conformance to the responsible gold mining principles of the World Gold Council’s “Responsible Gold Mining Principles” during H2 2020. Evaluation under “Together for Sustainability” (TfS) has been completed for the Marikana operation and assurance of the Kroondal and Rustenburg operations is planned by the end of 2020. The “Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance” (IRMA) self-assessment has been completed at our US PGM operations. We have in addition been recognised in respect of our standing on climate change disclosure, environmental responsibility, gender equity, responsible business and safety through our inclusion in responsible investment indices and receipt of awards.
The public disclosure of our sustainable development performance is guided by responsible mining principles and is done in line with the Global Reporting Initiative requirements (GRI). It provides formal demonstration of our ESG credentials and represents essential positioning among the world’s leading mining companies.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 2
We not only aspire to produce our products responsibly and to improve lives through our mining activities, but we also improve lives through the metals we produce. This particularly applies to our PGMs playing a critical role in environmental management and combatting climate change due to their unique chemical and physical properties. PGMs are essential components of many industrial applications that are critical to combatting climate change – clean air technology (catalysts), renewable energy (wind turbines), and future energy solutions (fuel cells) - and will therefore continue to play a critical role in the ongoing development of the global hydrogen economy.
As a relatively new participant in the global mining industry we continue to develop our ESG strategy and approach. Our rapid and transformative acquisitive growth means that we have had to and are still incorporating disparate operations with different cultures and ways of operating. We are on a journey. While we are by no means perfect or where we want to be, we can and will meet the performance expectations of all of our stakeholders.
OPERATING SUMMARY
The Group operating performance for the year ended 31 December 2019 was solid, with the operational issues that affected H1 2019, largely addressed by the end of the year.
SA PGM operations
The consistent operational delivery from the SA PGM operations continued, despite the integration and restructuring of the Marikana operation, the PGM wage negotiations, and the impact of load shedding towards the end of the year. 4E PGM production of 1,608,332 4Eoz (including the Marikana operation for seven months since acquisition), was 37% higher year-on-year, with 4E PGM production (excluding the Marikana operation) of 1,100,734 4Eoz above the upper end of annual guidance.
Following a detailed three-month review of the Marikana operation, a proposed restructuring to create an operating foot-print with a more sustainable cost structure, was announced in September 2019. Mandatory consultations with affected stakeholders in terms of Section 189A (S189) of the Labour Relations Act, 66 of 1995 (LRA) were successfully concluded in early December 2019, with the consequent restructuring effected by early January 2020 without any related operational disruption. Approximately 3,195 jobs were retained as a result of the operational review and S189 consultations, with 1,924 employees exiting during the period. Three generation 1 shafts (East 1, West 1 and Hossy) have reached the end of their reserve lives, resulting in the necessary retrenchment of 1,142 employees and a 1,709 reduction in contractors.
Whilst integration of the service functions is ongoing, the initial estimate of R730 million in annual synergies is already proving to be conservative. Synergies achieved to date imply an annualised run rate of R1,200 million by the end of 2020, which is 64% higher than our initial estimates.
The enlarged SA PGM production base is extremely leveraged to the rand 4E basket price as was evident in the 230% increase in H2 2019 adjusted EBITDA to R6,753 million (US$465 million)compared with R2,043 million (US$144 million) for H1 2019 This was primarily driven by a 25% increase in the average rand 4E basket price and the inclusion of the Marikana operation for the period. The rand 4E basket price in 2020 has already risen by a further 38%. The increase in the 4E basket price is supported by solid fundamentals, which, if sustained, implies a significantly stronger financial outlook for 2020.
US PGM operations
The US PGM operations reported 2E PGM production of 593,974 2Eoz which was in line with revised annual guidance. The operational issues which affected the East Boulder mine and Stillwater West mine during 2019 were successfully addressed during the remaining months in 2019, with both operations achieving normalised production run rates by year-end. Challenging ground conditions were encountered at Blitz during H2 2019, with fall of ground (FOG) conditions leading to orders from the US Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to suspend mining activities in specific areas, thereby restricting stope access and negatively impacting productivity. The adoption of special ground control measures temporarily impaired advance rates and resulted in reduced stope flexibility. Significant progress has been made on redesigning appropriate support in these areas. Concentrated development activities on the ramp system in the Blitz project area also resulted in increased diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions beyond the capabilities of installed ventilation in certain development areas, which further impacted output.
While the ground control and DPM challenges have largely been addressed, production and advance rates remain behind plan, delaying the planned production build-up at Blitz by approximately eight months. With the ramp up commencing in Q4 2020, the Fill the Mill (FTM) project remains on track to deliver 40,000 2Eoz per annum. At spot prices, the project is expected to yield an NPV in excess of US$400m.
The 53% increase in the palladium price during 2019 to US$1,916/2Eoz, drove a 38% increase in the average 2E PGM basket price for 2019 to US$1,403/2Eoz (palladium comprises 78% of the 2E basket price, with platinum comprising 22%). As a result, adjusted EBITDA from the US PGM operations increased by 61% year-on-year to US$504 million. The 2E PGM basket price has risen a further 24% during 2020 to over US$2,100/2Eoz, which combined with the forecast increase in 2E PGM production to between 660,000 2Eoz and 700,000 2Eoz, suggests significantly stronger financial delivery for 2020.
SA gold operations
The SA gold operations produced 29,009kg (932,659oz) (Including DRDGOLD) for 2019 and 23,427kg (753,194oz) (excluding DRDGOLD) for 2019. Normalised production run rates for the reduced operating footprint at the SA gold operations were achieved during Q4 2019, following the conclusion of the AMCU strike in April 2019 and a steady production build-up.
The safe production build-up at the West Rand operations, was hampered by heightened levels of seismicity, as ground stresses which accumulated during the five month strike were released, significantly affecting several high grade areas at the Kloof operation in particular. Nonetheless, the operating and financial performance for H2 2019 was significantly better than H1 2019, with production increasing by 71% to18,268kg (587,908oz) and AISC declining by 27% to R636,405/kg (US$1,347/oz).
Due to the improved operating performance and a 22% increase in the average rand gold price received of R676,350/kg (US$1,432/oz) for H2 2019 relative to the comparable period in 2018, the SA gold operations returned to profitability in H2 2019.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 3
Adjusted EBITDA of R1,968 million (US$140 million) for H2 2019 partly offset the R2,937 million (US$207 million) strike related adjusted EBITDA loss from H1 2019, resulting in an adjusted EBIDA loss for 2019 of R969 million (US$67 million). As with the SA PGM operations, the SA gold operations are significantly leveraged to the rand gold price, which has risen by a further 10% to R757,500/oz (US$1,580/oz) year to date. If maintained, this will significantly improve the profitability of the SA gold operations in 2020.
DRDGOLD performed strongly during 2019, benefitting from higher volumes of high-grade surface material from the Driefontein surface facilities, to produce 5,582kg (179,465oz) of gold at an AISC of R514,932kg (US$1,108/oz) yielding adjusted EBITDA of R854 million (US$59 million) for 2019. On 8 January 2020, Sibanye-Stillwater exercised the option to increase its investment holding in DRDGOLD to 50.1% for a cash consideration of R1 billion. This investment has already yielded significant value uplift, with DRDGOLD’s current price of R9.50 per share relative to the discounted subscription price paid of R6.46 per share, equivalent to a 47% return on investment (a R511 million gain). This increased investment in DRDGOLD follows an initial 38.05% stake, attained in 2018 through the vending of selected West Rand surface gold processing assets and tailings storage facilities (TSFs) into DRDGOLD for equity. The transaction successfully unlocked value in un-utilised surface infrastructure and TSFs at the SA gold operations, which had no value attributed to them by the market. The 50.1% investment in DRDGOLD is currently worth approximately R4.1 billion, with attributable dividends to date of R52m (Aug 2019) and R108m (Feb 2020) having been declared by DRDGOLD.
LABOUR RELATIONS
The strike at the SA Gold operations which was initiated by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) in November 2018, lasted approximately five months before it was resolved in April 2019. The agreed settlement was in Sibanye-Stillwater’s favour, with AMCU accepting the same three-year agreement on the same terms that had been agreed with the other unions six-months earlier. While the financial impact of the AMCU strike was significant, we have consistently maintained that absorbing the strike impact was necessary for us to re-establish respectful and more co-operative relations with AMCU.
We remain convinced that the firm stance we adopted was appropriate and necessary, with the losses incurred at the SA gold operations, fully justified by closing the Lonmin transaction with no further objections to the transaction by AMCU and notably more constructive labour engagements achieved at the SA PGM operations during H2 2019. Several key outcomes during the period have set the SA PGM operations up for sustained stability and success:
| · | | despite the concerns of many market commentators, the wage negotiations at Rustenburg and Marikana were concluded without any industrial unrest resulting in a three-year deal on significantly more favorable terms than our industry peers, which will enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the SA PGM operations |
| · | | Necessary restructuring at the Marikana operation was also concluded without any industrial action during the four-month process, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the operation |
| · | | Integration of the Marikana operations into the Sibanye-Stillwater operating model and approach has proceeded smoothly, with managers now having assumed their rightful roles to manage the business |
The significant increase in the profitability of the SA PGM operations for H2 2019 is further testament to the appropriateness of the decisions and position adopted during the SA gold operations strike. The current three-year wage agreements have secured a period of stability at both the SA gold and the SA PGM operations, which will facilitate the optimisation of the operations and enable significant generation of value from these operations for the benefit of all stakeholders.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The financial results for 2019 were significantly improved relative to 2018, despite strike related losses incurred during H1 2019 at the SA gold operations.
Group revenue increased by 44% year-on-year to R72,925 million (US$5,043 million), driven by rising precious metals prices and an improving or steady operating performance across the Group during 2019, as well the inclusion of the Marikana operations from June 2019, boosting Group adjusted EBITDA for 2019 by 79% year-on-year to R14,956 million (US$1,034 million).
The year in review was a tale of two halves, with the financial performance in H2 2019 in stark contrast to H1 2019, which was significantly impacted by strike action at the SA gold operations and other operational disruptions. Revenue for H2 2019 of R49,390 million (US$3,386 million) increased by 110% from R23,535 million (US$1,657 million) for H1 2019 and 85% from R26,746 million (US$1,884 million) for H2 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for H2 2019 of R12,938 million (US$892 million) was 541% higher than adjusted EBITDA of R2,018 million (US$142 million) for H1 2019 and 189% higher than for the comparable period in 2018 (R4,474 million (US$316 million)).
Group profit of R433 million (US$30 million) for 2019, improved significantly from a loss of R2,521 million (US$191 million) for 2018, with H2 2019 profit of R604 million (US$42 million) offsetting the H1 2019 loss of R171 million (US$12 million). Group profit was affected by various non-recurring and/or non-cash items, the most prominent for 2019 being a R1,103 million (US$77 million) gain on acquisition of Lonmin Plc (Marikana operations), a R1,567 million (US$110 million) deferred tax credit recognised by the US PGM operations and recognition of a R3,912 million (US$271 million) fair value loss on the US$ convertible bonds, following the 258% increase in the Sibanye-Stillwater share price during 2019, resulting in the bonds trading well above par value.
Normalised earnings which are more reflective of operational earnings, increased by R3,797 million (US$263 million), to R2,360 million (US$163 million) from a R1,437 million (US$109million) loss in 2018. The financial performance for H2 2019 was again significantly improved relative to H1 2019, with normalised earnings of R4,471 million (US$ 304 million) for H2 2019, R6,582 million higher than the R2,111 million normalized loss for H1 2019.
As a result of the strong operating and financial performance achieved in H2 2019, progress on deleveraging the balance sheet has accelerated. Proforma net debt:adjusted EBITDA (ND:adjusted EBITDA) reduced from 2.5x at 30 June 2019 to 1.25x at year end, well below existing debt covenants and our 1.8x target for the 2019 year-end. Group leverage should continue to decline naturally over the next two quarters as the adjusted EBITDA from Q1 and Q2 2019, which were negatively impacted by the five-month strike at the SA gold operations and the change from a Purchase of Concentrate (PoC) to toll processing arrangement with Anglo American Platinum, fall out of the rolling total. If the run rate that has been achieved over H2 2019 is sustained, our net debt to EBITDA ratio should fall below 1.0x by mid-year. This is without considering the effects of reductions in net debt that should be achieved through application of free cash generated to repaying debt.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 4
We are now highly confident about sustained deleveraging of the company’s balance sheet. Moreover, with the balance sheet further de-risked, we are well positioned to resume cash dividends during 2020 based on the current deleveraging trajectory and subject to current commodity prices.
* Normalised earnings excludes 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
INTERNAL RESTRUCTURING AND NAME CHANGE
Pursuant to the scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) as approved by shareholders, which will be implemented on 24 February 2020, the underlying business of Sibanye Gold Limited will trade under Sibanye Stillwater Limited from the commencement of business today 19 February 2020, with Sibanye Gold Limited to be delisted and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sibanye Stillwater Limited, which will trade under the ticker symbol SSW on the JSE from the implementation date, and the ADR on the NYSE under the ticker symbol SBSW.
The Scheme was proposed to create a more efficient corporate structure whereby the gold and PGM portfolios are each held within their own distinct legal entities and to facilitate the Group’s growth strategy by reorganising the Group’s existing operations.
Sibanye Gold Limited continues to hold the Kloof, Driefontein and Beatrix Operations directly and Sibanye Stillwater Limited will serve as the holding company of the Group.
OUTLOOK
A meaningful recovery in mined 2E PGM production from the US PGM operations is forecast in 2020. Mined 2E PGM production of between 660,000 2Eoz and 700,000 2Eoz is expected, with unit AISC forecast between US$785 – US$820 per 2E ounce. Guided AISC increases are largely attributed to increased capital expenditure and higher royalties and taxes due to the significant increase in the 2E PGM basket price, which currently accounts for some US$60/2Eoz of the AISC increase. Capital expenditure of between US$260 million and US$280 million is forecast. Approximately 60% of this anticipated spend is growth capital in nature, including expenditure on FTM.
Positive basket price momentum has continued into 2020, with the current spot 2E PGM basket price exceeding US$2,150/oz, 53% higher than the average realised 2E PGM basket of US$1,403 in 2019, and 180% higher than the Stillwater acquisition price of US$770/2Eoz. This bodes well for operating margins, adjusted EBITDA and underlying cash flow generation from the US PGM operations in 2020.
The development of Blitz and FTM continues, and ten producing areas/stopes are expected to be commissioned at Blitz by the end of 2022, adding an expected 300koz (2E) of annual production from 2022 onwards. FTM is forecast to add 40koz (2E) of annual 2E PGM production with the build-up commencing in late 2020. FTM involves an incremental expansion of mining and certain support facilities at the East Boulder Mine and Columbus Metallurgical Complex.
4E PGM production from the SA PGM operations for 2020 is forecast at between 1,700,000 4Eoz and 1,850,000 4Eoz with AISC between R16,100/4Eoz and R16,800/4Eoz (US$1,108/4Eoz and US$1,160/4Eoz). Forecast 4E PGM production from the SA operations (excluding Marikana) of between 1,000,000 4Eoz and 1,100,000 4Eoz is consistent with 2019, with AISC between R15,700/4Eoz (US$1,082/4Eoz) and R16,500/4Eoz (US$1,100/4Eoz) and capital expenditure forecast at R1,451 million (US$100 million). 4E PGM production from the Marikana operation is forecast at between 700,000 4Eoz and 750,000 4Eoz, with AISC between R16,600/4Eoz (US$1,145/4Eoz) and R17,300/4Eoz (US$1,195/4Eoz). Higher royalties due to the sharp increase in spot 4E basket price and profitability add approximately R500/4Eoz (US$35/4Eoz) to AISC currently. Capital expenditure for the Marikana operations is forecast at R1,650 million (US$115 million).
Gold production from the SA gold operations for 2020 is forecast at between 29,000kg (932,000oz) and 31,000kg (997,000oz) with AISC between R635,000/kg and R675,000/kg (US$1,362/oz and US$1,437/oz). Capital expenditure is forecast at R3,340 million (US$230 million), with R235 million (US$16 million) of growth capital.
The dollar costs are based on an average exchange rate of R14.50/US$.

SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP SAFETY AND OPERATING REVIEW
Safe PRODUCTION
There was a significant improvement in Group safe production in 2019, with the SA gold operations maintaining their 17 month fatal free run since 25 Aug 2018, achieving 10 million fatality free shifts on 26 January 2020 which is a record for the deep level mining industry. This is an admirable achievement considering that more than 30,000 employees are mining at depths extending to more than three 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 2.6 million fatality free shifts.
Regrettably, the SA PGM operations recorded six fatalities during the year, a regression on the three fatalities for 2018. This included two fatalities experienced at the Marikana operation soon after the acquisition. The Board and management of Sibanye-Stillwater extend their sincere condolences to the family and friends of our fallen colleagues: Mr Madondana Manzenze, Mr Johannes Tumelo, Mr Sonwabo Bhani, Mr Zolile Booi, Mr Mauricio Chau and Mr Willem Rakgomo. Every effort is being made to address the causes of these incidents and ensure that they are not repeated.
US PGM operations
2019 mined 2E PGM production of 593,974 2Eoz was flat year on year, with All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$784/2Eoz, 16% higher than for FY2018. Although this cost performance was higher than original guidance, the AISC variance is primarily due to record PGM prices, which drives an increase in royalties and taxes - AISC increases by approximately US$5/2Eoz for every US$100/2Eoz change in the prevailing PGM basket. As a result, the 37% increase in the average 2E PGM basket price for 2019 added approximately US$19/2Eoz to AISC.
Mined PGM production of 309,202 2Eoz for H2 2019, was 4% higher than for the comparable period in 2018. H2 2019 AISC of US$795/2Eoz was 13% higher than for H2 2018, with the majority of the increase due to higher taxes and royalties.H2 2019 production was impacted by falls of ground at Stillwater West and Blitz, and elevated DPM levels at Blitz and the East Boulder mine. Remediation efforts and the more challenging ground conditions affected advance rates and productivity during the H2 2019. These efforts were largely complete at year end, with production from the East Boulder and Stillwater West mines having returned to normalised run rates. The challenges at Blitz have delayed the ramp up of production by approximately eight months with full production rates now expected in 2022 adding an expected 300,000 2Eoz of annual production from 2022 onwards. The development of Blitz and FTM continues, and ten producing areas/stopes are expected to be commissioned at Blitz by the end of 2022. FTM is forecast to add 2E PGM production of 40,000 2Eoz per annum, with the production build-up commencing in late 2020. FTM involves an incremental expansion of mining and certain support facilities at the East Boulder Mine and Columbus Metallurgical Complex.
The Columbus Metallurgical Complex delivered record throughput of mined and recycled material for the six-months ended 31 December 2019. The Columbus Metallurgical Complex processed approximately 329,000oz 2Eoz of mined concentrate and 432,000 3Eoz of recycled material, a total increase of 19% versus H2 2018. During the period the recycling operation fed an average of 27.5 tonnes of material per day (tpd) (+35% versus H2 2018).
The average 2E PGM basket price of US$1,403/2Eoz for 2019 was 38% than for 2018, resulting in adjusted EBITDA increasing by 61% to US$504 million, despite flat year-on-year production and higher unit costs. The recycling operation contributed US$38 million of this total. For H2 2019, a 48% year-on-year increase in the 2E PGM basket price to US$1,508/2Eoz, resulted in adjusted EBITDA increasing by 85% to US$296 million, compared with US$160 million in H2 2018. The recycling operations contributed US$17 million (R248 million) of this total.
Capital expenditure for 2019 amounted to US$235 million, including US$141 million in growth capital incurred at Blitz and FTM. During the period, US$22 million was incurred on sustaining capital and US$72 million on ore reserve development.
SA PGM operations
The strong operating performance from the SA PGM operations continued in 2019. This was a notable accomplishment considering the ongoing integration and restructuring of the Marikana operation and the PGM wage negotiations during the period.
The incorporation of the Marikana operation from June 2019, resulted in annual 4E PGM production increasing by 37% year-on-year to 1,608,332 4Eoz. This was underpinned by consistent operational delivery from the Rustenburg, Kroondal and Mimosa operations, with 4E PGM production from these operations (excluding production from the Marikana operation), of 1,100,734 4Eoz, exceeding the upper limit of annual guidance.
Primarily due to the inclusion of the higher cost Marikana operation and an increase in processing costs at Rustenburg following the transition from a Purchase of Concentrate to a Toll processing arrangement, AISC for 2019 increased by 43% to R14,857/4Eoz (US$1,027/4Eoz). The additional cost impact of the Toll arrangement is more than off-set by significantly higher revenue under this arrangement, with the Rustenburg operations benefitting from exposure to the higher spot 4E basket price on 100% of 4E production, as opposed to the PoC arrangement, the terms of which resulted in a percentage of 4E metal in concentrate being ceded to cover processing costs. AISC was also impacted by a R195 million (US$13.5) increase in royalties following the significant increase (44%) in 4E basket price year-on-year to R19,994/4Eoz (US$1,383/4Eoz).
The leverage of the SA PGM operations to higher basket prices, as a result of the consistent operational performance, is illustrated by the significant increase in profitability, with the adjusted EBITDA margin increasing from 19% in 2018 to 32% in 2019, and adjusted EBITDA for 2019 increasing by 205% to R8,796 million (US$608 million), which was more than the adjusted EBITDA of the entire Group in FY2018
The 4E PGM production of 980,343oz for H2 2019, was 62% higher than for the comparable period in 2018, with AISC for H2 2019 of R15,779/4Eoz (US$1,074/4Eoz), 47% higher year-on-year. Approximately 77% of 2019 adjusted EBITDA was generated in H2 2019, with adjusted EBITDA of R6,753 million 260% higher than for the comparable period in 2018. H2 2019 adjusted EBITDA annualised of R13,506 million (US$919 million) is more than the total nominal acquisition cost of the three SA PGM acquisitions (R12,800 million).
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 6
Rhodium and palladium prices increased significantly during FY2019, driving the average 4E PGM basket price up by 45% for FY2019 relative to the previous year. The average 4E basket price for H2 2019 was 47% higher at R21,671/4Eoz (US$1,475/4Eoz) than for H2 2018. These metals respectively comprise approximately 9% and 31% of the 4E production prill split, but due to their relative price increase comprised 29% and 34% respectively of the 4E PGM revenue basket during H2 2019. The trajectory of these price increases steepened towards the end of H2 2019 and has continued into FY2020. At current spot prices, Rhodium comprises 43% of the SA PGM operations 4E PGM revenue basket and palladium 31%.
4E PGM production from the Rustenburg operation of 354,960 4Eoz was 11% lower than for H2 2018, due to among other things, to a planned reduction in surface production and a revised mass-pull strategy relating to the change to the Toll arrangement and safety related stoppages. AISC from the Rustenburg operations for H2 2019, increased by 36% year-on-year to R15,182/4Eoz (US$1,033/4Eoz), due to transition from the PoC to the higher cost Toll processing arrangement, compounded by lower production and a R75m million/R210/4Eoz increase in royalties and taxes.
The Kroondal operational performance was consistently strong, with 4E PGM production of 133,227 4Eoz for H2 2019, 1% lower than the comparable period in 2018. Kroondal AISC of R11,288/4Eoz (US$768/4Eoz), was 18% higher than the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to a 49% increase in capital expenditure largely to replace belt infrastructure, a R8 million/R28/4Eoz increase in royalties and taxes due to increasing revenue and lower chrome prices, which impacted adversely on AISC.
The integration of the Marikana operation into the SA PGM operations remains on track. During the period under review Marikana produced 426,641 4Eoz and processed an additional 16,769 4Eoz from third parties under POC agreements. AISC of R17,718/4Eoz (US$1,206/4Eoz) for the period are likely to reduce as the cost benefits of the restructuring and closure of certain, higher cost generation 1 shafts become evident and as further cost synergies are realised. Higher royalties will impact on AISC in 2020.
H2 2019 chrome sales of 483,228 tonnes for the SA PGM operations, excluding Marikana, were significantly higher than the 404,560 tonnes sold in H2 2018 due to increased production of 25,000 tonnes as a result of operational efficiency improvements and improved logistics leading to a lower year end stockpile. Chrome revenue was R670 million for H2 2019, higher than the H2 2018 chrome revenue of R625 million, despite the chrome price reducing from $166/tonne in H2 2018 to $142/tonne in H2 2019. Marikana realised chrome sales during the period of 804,000 tonnes contributing chrome revenue of R233 million.
Attributable 4E PGM production from Mimosa of 56,722 4Eoz was 9% lower than for H2 2018, due to a mill breakdown during H2 2019. Subsequent to the breakdown production has stabilized and Mimosa is performing steadily. AISC of R12,318/4Eoz (US$839/4Eoz) increased by 18% (in US$ terms) primarily due to the lower production.
SA gold operations
Total gold production from the SA gold operations for 2019 declined by 21% to 29,009kg (932,659oz) primarily due to the strike in H1 2019 and subsequent measured build-up in production and restructuring which resulted in a number of shafts closing or being placed on care and maintenance, partly offset by 3,037kg (97,642oz) of production from DRDGOLD, which is fully consolidated. Elevated AISC of R717,966/kg (US$1,544/oz) reflect the strike impact and reduced production volumes. Despite a much stronger performance in H2 2019, and a 21% increase year-on-year in the average received rand gold price to R648,662/kg (US$1,395/oz), an adjusted EBITDA loss of R2.9 billion incurred during the strike in H1 2019, resulted in an adjusted EBITDA loss for the year of R969 million (US$67 million). The gold price in 2020 to date has averaged approximately R730,000/kg (US$1,560/oz), 12% higher than for 2019, which support a return to profitability for the SA Gold operations during 2020.
Production for H2 2019 (excluding DRDGOLD) declined by 4% year-on-year to 15,249kg (490,266oz), primarily due to the ongoing build-up of production following the strike, elevated levels of seismic activity following the resumption of safe production after the five month strike with a fire at Kloof 4 shaft, most likely caused by illegal miners affecting production during the period. Seismic events at Kloof Lower, most likely related to the fire resulted in the temporary unavailability of some high grade panels. Load shedding during Q4 2019 was relatively well managed, with approximately 143kg (4,598oz) being lost. Primarily due to lower production volumes AISC for the SA gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) for H2 2019 increased to R661,902/kg (US$1,401/oz). The significant fixed cost component (over 80% of operating costs) for the SA gold operations, makes costs very sensitive to production volume changes and as a result, unit costs such as AISC invariably increase with reductions in production volumes. The SA Gold operations reported adjusted EBITDA for H2 2019 of R2 billion (US$140 million), 454% higher than for the comparable period in 2018.
Capital expenditure (excluding DRDGOLD) was R96.3 million (US$7.0 million) higher than for the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in ORD to restore flexibility and enable normalised production levels after the strike period. Sustaining capital expenditure increased by R57 million (US$4.0 million) as a result of the Kloof 1 shaft/3 shaft, Kloof 4 shaft/7 shaft and Kloof 4 shaft/3 shaft integration projects gaining momentum.
The Kloof operation experienced the biggest decline in underground production, with production falling by 6% to 5,180kg (166,541oz). Increased levels of seismicity during the post-strike production build up and the underground fire at 4 Shaft, which prevented access to several high grade stoping areas, resulted in the yield reducing from 7.14g/t to 5.26g/t. Kloof surface production of 833kg (26,782oz) was 30% lower than for H2 2018, due to depletion of higher grade surface reserves during H1 2019 when surface milling was accelerated to compensate for lower underground production during the strike. Some surface material from Kloof was toll treated at Driefontein no. 1 plant and the Ezulwini gold plant to utilize available milling capacity to compensate for the lower underground production. Lower gold production on the back of lower underground and surface grades was the primary factor driving a 39% increase in AISC to R718,014/kg (US$1,520/oz).
The shallower Beatrix operation was less affected by seismicity and other operational disruptions than the deeper West Rand operations during the post-strike production build up. Underground gold production for H2 2019 was 1% higher at 4,056kg (130,403oz) although surface production decreased by 53% to 66kg (2,122oz), as the higher grade surface reserves were depleted. AISC for H2 2019 increased by 4% to R558,558/kg (US$1,183/oz) due to a recovery in volumes after the strike had ended.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 7
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE SIBANYE-STILLWATER GROUP
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 (H2 2019) COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (H2 2018)
Comparability of the SA rand results for the Group is distorted as the Stillwater operations’ results are translated to SA rand at the average exchange rate, which for H2 2019 was R14.69/US$ or 4% weaker than for H2 2018 of R14.18/US$. A direct comparison of Stillwater’s US dollar results, therefore, is also included.
Further to this, the consolidation of the Lonmin group’s (referred to as the Marikana operations) operating and financial results for the six months in H2 2019, acquired during June 2019 and the inclusion of DRDGOLD for the full six months in H2 2019 (compared with five months in H2 2018) skews the direct comparison with the financial results of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2018.
The revenue, cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation, net other cash costs, adjusted EBITDA and amortisation and depreciation are set out in the table below:

Revenue
Revenue increased by 85% to R49,391 million (US$ 3,386 million). Revenue excluding DRDGOLD and the Marikana operations increased by 46% to R37,461 million (US$2,550 million) from R25,698 million (US$1,812 million). Revenue from the US PGM operations increased by 84% to US$1,058 million (R15,541 million) due to a 48% higher average 2E basket price mainly as a result of increased palladium prices and an increase in recycling volumes. Revenue from the SA PGM operations, excluding the Marikana operations, increased by 38% to R11,521 million (US$784million) due to a 49% higher average 4E basket price mainly as a result of increased palladium and rhodium prices. Revenue from the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD increased by 18% to R10,515 million (US$716 million) mainly due to a higher gold price and a weaker rand exchange rate on translation. Revenue from DRDGOLD increased by 102% to R2,111 million (US$144 million) due to the higher gold price, inclusion of DRDGOLD for full six months and increased production volumes from the Far West Gold Recoveries tailings retreatment operation which commenced operation during April 2019.
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation increased by 62% to R35,438 million (US$2,425 million). Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation excluding DRDGOLD and the Marikana operations increased by 28% to R26,774 million (US$1,823 million). Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations increased by 82% to US$765 million (R11,236 million) due to increased recycling volumes. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations, excluding the Marikana operations increased by 8% to R6,860 million (US$467 million) due to the transition to the Toll processing agreement. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation at the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD increased by 4% to R8,678 million (US$591 million) mainly due to the 6% increase in the underground tonnes processed compared to H2 2018. Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation from DRDGOLD increased by 42% to R1,444 million (US$98 million) due to increased production on the Far West Gold Recoveries tailings retreatment operation which commenced operation during April 2019.
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 8
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA includes other cash costs, care and maintenance costs; lease payments; strike costs and CSI costs. Care and maintenance costs for H2 2019 were R283 million (US$19 million) at Cooke (H2 2018: R291 million (US$21 million)); R168 million (US$12 million) at Marikana (H2 2018: Rnil (US$nil) and R10 million (US$1 million) at Burnstone (H2 2018: Rnil (US$nil). Lease payments of R81 million (H2 2018: Rnil) is included in line with the debt covenant formula. Strike costs for H2 2019 were R27 million (US$2 million) (H2 2018: R32 million (US$2 million) and CSI costs were R91 million (US$6 million) (H2 2018: R38 million (US$3 million).
The adjusted EBITDA for both the US PGM and SA PGM operations has increased due to higher commodity prices. The significant increase in the adjusted EBITDA for the SA PGM operations was due to the inclusion of the Marikana operations which were acquired in June 2019. The adjusted EBITDA for the SA gold operations have increased due to a higher prevailing gold price coupled with the increased recovery in production post the five-month industrial action which commenced during H2 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA is shown in the graphs below:


Amortisation and depreciation
Amortisation and depreciation including DRDGOLD and the Marikana operations increased by 22% to R4,289 million (US$293 million). Amortisation and depreciation excluding DRDGOLD and the Marikana operations increased by 8% to R3,727 million (US$254 million). Amortisation and depreciation at the US PGM operations decreased by 1% to US$81 million (R1,193 million) due to higher mine production and partly offset by an increase in reserves on which the amortisation calculation is based. Amortisation and depreciation at the SA PGM operations excluding the Marikana operations increased by 26% to R724 million (US$49 million) due to an increase in production. Amortisation and depreciation at the SA gold operations excluding DRDGOLD increased by 8% to R1,810 million (US$123 million) due higher production in line with the ramp up post the end of the five month industrial action. Amortisation and depreciation at DRDGOLD increased by 45% to R84 million (US$6 million) due to production commencing during April 2019 on the Far West Gold Recoveries tailings retreatment operation.

Finance expense | (1,731) | (1,751) | 1 |
Finance expense decreased by R20 million (US$1 million) mainly due to a decrease in the unwinding of amortised cost on borrowings of R166 million (US$11 million) and a decrease in interest on the deferred payment relating to the Rustenburg acquisition of R11 million (US$1 million), partly offset by an increase of R114 million (US$8 million) and R20 million (US$1 million) in the unwinding of the environmental rehabilitation obligation and lease liability interest, respectively.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s average outstanding gross debt, including the Marikana operations, excluding the Burnstone Debt and including the derivative financial instrument, was approximately 12% higher at R26.6 billion (US$1.9 billion) in H2 2019 compared with approximately R23.8 billion (US$ 1.6 billion) in H2 2018 mainly due to the R3,359 million fair value adjustment on the derivative portion of the convertible bond resulting from the higher prevailing Sibanye-Stillwater share price.
Gain/loss on financial instruments
The net loss on financial instruments of R5,480 million (US$378 million) for H2 2019 compared with the gain of R994 million (US$71 million) for H2 2018 represents an increase of R6,474 million (US$441 million). The net loss for H2 2019 included a fair value loss on the US$ Convertible Bond derivative financial instrument of R3,359 million (US$229 million), driven by the increase in the share price during 2019, which resulted in the convertible bonds trading well above par. In addition, the fair value loss on the Sibanye Rustenburg Platinum BEE share-based payment obligation (increase of R1,479 million (US$101 million)) and fair value loss on the revised cash flows of the deferred payment (increase of R875 million (US$60 million)) contributed to the increase in the loss on financial instruments. The increase in the fair value of these financial instruments is mainly due to higher long term PGM basket prices.

Non-recurring items
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs of R619 million (US$42 million) for H2 2019 relates to the S189 restructuring process at the Marikana operations.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs of R350 million (US$24 million) for H2 2019 included advisory and legal fees of R233 million (US$16 million) related to the Lonmin acquisition; advisory and legal fees of R30 million (US$2 million) related to the Sibanye Gold Limited internal restructuring; legal fees of R10 million (US$1 million) related to the Stillwater Mining Company dissenting shareholders claim and platinum jewellery membership costs of R10 million (US$1 million).
Mining and income tax
Current tax including DRGDOLD and the Marikana operations increased from a credit of R59 million (US$5 million) to R1,192 million (US$82 million) due to the increase in taxable mining income for the period at the US and SA PGM operations.
The deferred tax changed from an expense of R1,058 million (US$80 million) to a deferred tax credit R784 million (US$51 million), an increase of R1,842 million (US$125 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 4.1% and 10%. The change of tax is a result of sales moving to a different tax jurisdiction.
The effective tax rate of 40% for H2 2019 was higher than the South African (SA) statutory company tax rate of 28% mainly due to the non-deductible loss on fair value of financial instruments. The effective tax (expense) rate of 62% for H2 2018 was higher than the SA statutory company tax rate of 28% mainly due to a significant deferred tax adjustment recognised in the period resulting from numerous tax reforms which affected the US PGM operations during that period.

| 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 | | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
| 9 | | All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM production in the same period, For a reconciliation of cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – six months” |

Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
| 1 | | The SA gold operations’ results for the six months ended 31 December 2018 include DRDGOLD for the five months since acquisition |
| 2 | | 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 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 |
| 3 | | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
| 4 | | All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold in the same period, For a reconciliation of cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation to All-in cost, see “All-in costs – six months” |
| 5 | | Corporate project expenditure for the six months ended 31 December 2019, 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 was R47.5 million (US$3.3 million), R17.2 million (US$1.2 million) and R58.1 million (US$4.1 million), respectively, the majority of which related to the Burnstone project |

The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year and six months ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared by Sibanye-Stillwater’s Group financial reporting team headed by Jacques Le Roux (CA (SA)). This process was supervised by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Charl Keyter and approved by the Sibanye-Stillwater board of directors. A convenience translation has been applied to the primary statements into US dollar based on the average exchange rate for the period for the condensed consolidated income statement, statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows, and the period-end closing exchange rate for the statement of financial position and exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only. |

Notes to the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements
| 1. | | Basis of accounting and preparation |
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with framework concepts, and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements, 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 six months ended 30 June 2018 from the audited comprehensive consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. The condensed consolidated income statement, and statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2019 have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditor and were prepared by subtracting the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019 from the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The translation of the primary statements into US dollar is based on the average exchange rate for the period for the condensed consolidated income statement, statements of other comprehensive income and cash flows, and the period-end closing exchange rate for the statement of financial position. Exchange differences on translation are accounted for in the statement of other comprehensive income. This information is provided as supplementary information only.
1.1Standards, 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). In addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognised as lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.
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 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 (refer note 9).

1For the six months ended 31 December 2019, finance expense includes R162 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 5.2% and 4.6% was used in determining the finance expense to be recognised as part of the steaming transaction for gold and palladium, respectively
2 For the six months ended 31 December 2019, finance expense includes R41 million non-cash interest relating to the Marikana operations streaming transaction on its Bulk Tailings re-Treatment plant (BTT)

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 31 December 2019, the net rand gold forward sale contracts financial liability was R68.3 million, realised loss was R284.6 million and unrealised gain was R174.5 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
2The fair value adjustment on the share-based payment obligation relate to the Rustenburg BEE transaction (refer note 17.1) The fair value is based on the discounted cash flow forecast over the life of mine of Rustenburg using a discount rate of 13.64%

1During 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

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.
In line with Sibanye-Stillwater’s strategic priority of deleveraging, the Board of Directors resolved not to pay a final dividend. Sibanye-Stillwater expects to resume dividend payments in H1 2020, based on the current deleveraging trajectory and subject to current commodity prices.

8.1Lonmin acquisition (Revised)
On 14 December 2017, Sibanye-Stillwater announced that it had reached an 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.

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.
There were no onerous lease contracts that would require an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

Lease payments not recognised as a liability
The group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short term leases (leases of expected term of 12 months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis. In addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognised as lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.
Minimum lease payments are straight lined over the non-cancellable lease period.
Sub-letting and sale and leaseback transactions
There have been no sub-letting and no sale and leaseback transactions applicable to the current financial year.

| 14. | | Occupational healthcare obligation |
On 3 May 2018, the Occupational Lung Disease Working Group (the Working Group), including the Sibanye-Stillwater Group, agreed to an approximately R5 billion class action settlement with the claimants. The estimated costs were reviewed at 31 December 2018 and discounted using a risk-free rate.
On 26 July 2019 the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg approved the R5 billion settlement agreement in the silicosis class case. 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 currently has provided R1,282.1 million for its share of the settlement cost. The provision is consequently subject to adjustment in the future based on the number of eligible workers.
On 19 December 2019 Sibanye Stillwater provided a guarantee for an amount not exceeding R1,372 million in respect off trust administration contributions, initial benefit contributions and benefit contributions as required by the Trust Deed.

- a contingent consideration of 20% of free cash flows from the Pandora operations for 6 years
At acquisition Sibanye valued the deferred minimum payment of R400 million based on an NPV calculation to be R235 million at acquisition and R276 million at 31 December 2019 and Sibanye valued the contingent consideration at a fair value of zero since Pandora budgeted free cash flow at 20% to be below the R400 million minimum payment for the remaining 4.5 years.

Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 28
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 21 October 2019, Sibanye-Stillwater concluded a forward gold sale arrangement where the Group received a cash prepayment of R1,108 million in exchange for the future delivery of 8,482 ounces (263.8 kilograms) of gold every two weeks from 10 July 2020 to 16 October 2020 subject to an initial reference price of R17,371/oz comprising 80% of the prevailing price on execution date.
During 2016 Lonmin secured competitive funding of $50 million to build the Bulk Tailings re-Treatment plant (BTT), through a finance metal streaming arrangement receivable in instalments. The $50 million has been accounted for as deferred revenue as it will be repaid by way of discounted value of 6E metal sales. Contractual deliveries will be at a discounted price and the value of the discount over and above the $50 million upfront payment will be prorated over the project lifetime and charged to the consolidated income statement as a finance expense. The plant was commissioned during February 2018. Sibanye determined the fair value of the BTT deferred revenue to be R628 million at acquisition and R607 million at 31 December 2019.
The following table summarises the changes in deferred revenue:

17.2 Risk management activities
Liquidity risk: working capital and going concern assessment
For the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group realised a profit of R432.9 million (31 December 2018: loss of R2,520.7 million). As at 31 December 2019 the Group’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by R11,836.9 million (31 December 2018: R562.7 million) and the Group’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities by R31,138.4 million (31 December 2018: R24,724.4 million). During the year ended 31 December 2019 the Group generated net cash from operating activities of R9,464.0 million (31 December 2018: R12,197.2 million).
The Group currently has committed undrawn debt facilities of R5,688 million at 31 December 2019 (2018: R5,987 million) and cash balances of R5,619.0 million (31 December 2018: R2,549.1 million). On 25 October 2019 the R6,000 million RCF was successfully refinanced with a R5,500 billion RCF maturing on 10 November 2022 . US$150 million (R2,100 million) of these committed facilities mature in April 2021, with the remainder maturing only after April 2022.
Sibanye-Stillwater’s leverage ratio (net debt to adjusted EBITDA) as at 31 December 2019 was 1.4:1 and its interest coverage ratio (adjusted EBITDA to net finance charges) was 6.5:1 (31 December 2018: 2.5:1 and 4.9:1). Both well 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 R5.5 billion RCF (together the RCFs).
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 29
Gold and PGMs are sold in US dollars with most of the South African operating costs incurred in rand, the Group’s results and financial condition will be impacted if there is a material change in the rand/US dollar exchange rate. High levels of volatility in commodity prices may also impact on profitability. Due to the nature of deep level mining, industrial 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 may be adversely affected by labour unrests and union activity. These factors could impact on cash generated or utilised by the Group, as well as adjusted EBITDA and financial covenants.
Various events during 2018 and 2019 (2018 safety issues, 2018/2019 gold strike, SA PGM offtake contract change, as well as commodity price and exchange rate volatility) impacted negatively on group earnings and cash flows. Additionally, during 2019, the Group has had to manage delays in approval of the Lonmin acquisition, the take on of inherent uncertainties within the Lonmin business, alongside the now successfully concluded 3 yearly PGM wage negotiations. Good levels of liquidity were maintained throughout the year to manage this increased uncertainty. The Group issued 108.9 million ordinary shares for R1.7 billion on 15 April 2019 and executed a US$125 million (R1.8 billion) gold prepayment transaction on 11 April 2019, to enhance liquidity and balance sheet flexibility. A few days later, on 17 April 2019, AMCU, one of Sibanye-Stillwater’s labour unions, withdrew its wage demands and ended its five-month strike action at the gold operations. Various quarterly covenant amendments were also requested, and approved by the RCF lenders, during 2019 to accommodate possible abnormal fluctuations in 12-month trailing adjusted EBITDA. A new 3-year R5.5 billion ZAR RCF was successfully concluded during October 2019 to refinance the maturing R6 billion ZAR RCF. Commodity prices have increased markedly during the third quarter of 2019, significantly improving operating cash flows and outlook.
The Group has thoroughly demonstrated its ability to proactively manage liquidity risk through the above, and other initiatives, during 2019. Improved geographical and commodity diversification, along with improved commodity price outlook, 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 during 2020.
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 needed. 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.
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 provisional financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, therefore, have been prepared on a going concern basis.
| 18. | | Contingent liabilities |
18.1 Purported Class Action Lawsuits
In 2018, two groups of plaintiffs filed purported class action lawsuits, subsequently consolidated into a single action (Class Action), against Sibanye Gold Limited (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 have filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action. The Court may decide the motion to dismiss with or without oral argument. 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.
18.2 Delaware Court of Chancery rules in favour of Sibanye-Stillwater in dissenting shareholder action
The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the United States of America (the Court), in a Memorandum Opinion dated 21 August 2019, has 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 approximately 4.5% of Stillwater shares outstanding at the time) received the same US$18 per share consideration originally offered to, and accepted by other Stillwater shareholders, plus interest. The remaining payment of approximately US$21 million due to the Dissenting Shareholders has been paid by Sibanye-Stillwater during the six months ended 31 December 2019.
Certain of the Dissenting Shareholders have filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. The Company will continue to defend itself against opportunistic, short-term and self-interested legal action, to protect the interests of our stakeholders.
| 19. | | Events after the reporting period |
There were no events that could have a material impact on the financial results of the Group after 31 December 2019, other than those discussed below.
19.1 Sibanye Gold Limited scheme of arrangement
On 4 October 2019 Sibanye Gold Limited (trading as Sibanye-Stillwater) and Sibanye Stillwater Limited announced the intention to implement a scheme of arrangement to reorganise Sibanye Gold Limited’s operations under a new parent company, Sibanye Stillwater Limited (the “Scheme”). Under the Scheme, Sibanye Stillwater Limited will acquire Sibanye Gold Limited and its controlled entities. On 23 January 2020 Sibanye Gold Limited and Sibanye Stillwater Limited announced that all resolutions for the approval of the Scheme, were passed by the requisite majority voters at the Scheme Meeting held at the Sibanye Gold Limited Academy.
Sibanye Stillwater Limited determined that the acquisition of Sibanye Gold Limited will not represent a business combination as defined by IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". This is because neither party to the Scheme can be identified as an accounting acquirer in the transaction, and post the implementation there will be no change of economic substance or ownership in the Sibanye Gold Limited Group. The Sibanye Gold Limited shareholders will have the same commercial and economic interest as they have prior to the implementation of the Scheme and no additional new ordinary shares of Sibanye Gold Limited will be issued as part of the Scheme. The consolidated financial statements of Sibanye Stillwater Limited therefore will reflect that the arrangement is in substance a continuation of the existing Sibanye Gold Limited Group. Sibanye Gold Limited will be the predecessor of Sibanye Stillwater Limited for financial reporting purposes and for
Sibanye-Stillwater Operating and financial results | Six months and year ended 31 December 2019 30
future consolidated financial reporting periods Sibanye Stillwater Limited's consolidated comparative information will be presented as if the reorganisation had occurred before the start of the earliest period presented.
The expected date of implementation of the Scheme is Monday, 24 February 2020.
19.2 DRDGOLD Increase in shareholding
On 10 January 2020, Sibanye-Stillwater announced that it has exercised its option to subscribe for c.168 million additional ordinary shares of DRDGOLD Limited (“DRDGOLD”) to attain a 50.1% shareholding in DRDGOLD. The option was exercised on 8 January 2020 in terms of the DRDGOLD option agreement between Sibanye-Stillwater and DRDGOLD, entered into on 22 November 2017. The subscription price for each Option Share was R6.46 per share, payable in cash, representing a 22.69% discount to the closing price of R8.35 per DRDGOLD share and a 10% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average traded price.
19.3 Section189A consultations
On 16 January 2020, Sibanye-Stillwater advised that the consultation process with relevant stakeholders in terms of Section 189A (S189) of the Labour Relations Act, 66 of 1995 (LRA), regarding the proposed restructuring of its Marikana operation and associated services (previously Lonmin), has been concluded.
19.4 Palladium hedge agreement
On 17 January 2020, Stillwater Mining Company Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of Sibanye-Stillwater) concluded a palladium hedge agreement commencing on 28 February 2020, comprising the delivery of 240,000 ounces of palladium over two years (10,000 ounces per month) with a zero cost collar which establishes a minimum floor and a maximum cap of US$1,500 and US$3,400 per ounce, respectively.
19.5 BTT release agreement
On 24 January 2020, Western Platinum Proprietary Limited, Eastern Platinum Limited and Lonmin Limited (collectively the “Purchasers”), subsidiaries of Sibanye-Stillwater, entered into a Release and Cancellation Agreement (“the Release Agreement”) with RFW Lonmin Investments Limited (“the Seller”). The Release Agreement sets out the terms and conditions upon which the Purchasers have purchased the Seller’s entire interest in the Metals Purchase Agreement (“MPA”) for an amount of US$50 million to be settled in cash (“the Early Settlement”).

1The 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 processes recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown
2 Subsequent to the acquisition of the Marikana operations, the Group aligned the Rustenburg operations’ accounting policy for inventory to that of the Marikana operations, whereby inventory is accounted for on a relative value basis
3 The Marikana PGM operations’ results for the year ended 31 December 2019 are for seven months since acquisition
4The Group and total SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales
5The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment
6Operating 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
7Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue
8All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram)and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram)are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM production in the same period

| 3 | | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue |
| 4 | | All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold in the same period |
| 5 | | Corporate project expenditure for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 was R64.7 million (US$4.5 million) and R201.2 million (US$15.2 million), respectively, the majority of which related to the Burnstone project |

All-in cost
All-in cost per ounce, was introduced in 2013 by the members of the World Gold Council. Sibanye-Stillwater has adopted the principle prescribed by the Council. This non-IFRS measure provides more transparency into the total costs associated with mining. The All-in cost per ounce metric provides relevant information to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of mining. This is especially true with reference to capital expenditure associated with developing and maintaining mines, which has increased significantly in recent years and is reflected in this metric. All-in 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 is 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. Non-IFRS measures such as All-in sustaining costs and All-in costs are considered as pro forma financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Group’s Board of Directors and is presented for illustration purposes only, and because of its nature, All-in sustaining costs and All-in costs should not be considered as a representation of financial performance.
This pro forma financial information has been reported on by Ernst & Young Inc. in terms of ISAE 3420 and their unmodified report is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

1The 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 processes recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above
2The Group and total SA PGM operations’ unit cost benchmarks exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from revenue and cost of sales
3The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment
4Operating 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
5All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM production in the same period
