Valterra Platinum trading statement for the six months ended 30 June 2026
Shareholders are advised that Valterra Platinum intends to release its results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 ("the period") on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) News Service and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Regulatory News Services on 29 July 2026.
In accordance with section 6.26(a) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, shareholders are advised that the financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 are expected to be significantly higher than the financial results of the previous corresponding period as follows:
· headline earnings and headline earnings per share ("HEPS") for the period are expected to increase by more than 1388%. Headline earnings is expected to be between R18.5 billion and R22.2 billion (R1.2bn on 30 June 2025 (the "prior period")) and HEPS is expected to be between 7047 cents per share and 8456 cents per share (473 cents per share in the prior period); and
· basic earnings and earnings per share ("EPS") for the period are expected to increase by more than 3076%. Basic earnings is expected to be between R18.6 billion and R22.3 billion (R0.6 billion in the prior period) and EPS is expected to be between 7085 cents per share and 8494 cents per share (223 cents per share in the prior period).
Earnings increased during the period, supported by a combination of an 18% increase in PGM sales volumes and significantly stronger PGM prices. The PGM dollar basket price increased by 85% to $2801 per PGM ounce, which translated into a 66% increase in the PGM rand basket price to R45993 per PGM ounce. The uplift in volumes was driven by higher M&C output following the flooding related disruptions at Amandelbult in the first half of 2025. In addition, the proactive rescheduling of planned maintenance activities and annual stock counts to the third quarter of 2026 facilitated a more even distribution of refined production throughout the year, further supporting sales volumes.
Taxation and royalties increased in line with increased earnings.
The financial information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company's auditors.
