AngloGold Ashanti Q4 and Year Ended 31 December 2025 Earnings Release and Dividend Declaration

Gold production +16% • Total cash costs* and AISC* flat in real terms• Adjusted net cash* of $879m • Q4 interim dividend
of $875m, or 173cps• Total dividends declared for 2025 of $1.8bn, or 357cps
London, Denver, Johannesburg, 20 February 2026 – AngloGold Ashanti plc's(2) delivered record free cash flow*(5) of $2.9bn in
2025 on strong production growth, continued cost discipline and a higher average gold price received per ounce*. The Company
announced an interim dividend of $875m for Q4 2025, taking the total payout declared for 2025 to $1.8bn, the highest ever.
AngloGold Ashanti again achieved guidance on gold production and sustaining capital expenditure*, as it continues to build a track
record of reliability and resilience from its portfolio of ten operating assets across three continents.
"We continued to focus on safety, operational excellence and consistency of execution. This allowed us once again to safely meet
production guidance, control costs better than most of the industry and consequently deliver record earnings and dividends" said
CEO Alberto Calderon. "We delivered growth and kept costs flat in real terms, which translated into record earnings, cash flow and
dividends."
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1)(2) of $1,242/oz in 2025, up 7% year-on-year primarily due to higher royalty costs ($67/
oz) driven by an average gold price received per ounce* of $3,468/oz. Despite this increase, the Company demonstrated another
disciplined performance for the year. Total cash costs per ounce* for managed operations(1)(2) were flat year on year in real terms.
Our portfolio optimisation through acquisitions and divestitures has continued to add value for our shareholders. The acquisition of
Centamin is proving to be a great addition to our portfolio. In Nevada, we complemented our exploration findings with three
acquisitions over the last few years, enabling us to create one of the most exciting new gold projects in the United States. We have
also been disciplined in selling non-core assets to improve focus on our core portfolio, including the ABC and Doropo projects in
Côte d'Ivoire, and most recently Serra Grande (MSG) in Brazil.
The Company delivered on key strategic initiatives: capturing synergies and Sukari's integration into the portfolio; delivery of
Obuasi's ramp-up schedule; a more competitive dividend policy with a quarterly payout schedule; and admission to the Russell
equity indexes, for greater liquidity and visibility among US investors.
At 31 December 2025, total Group gold Mineral Reserve was 36.5Moz, which represents a 17% increase from 31.2Moz at 31
December 2024. At 31 December 2025, total Group gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource was 68.0Moz and total Group
gold Inferred Mineral Resource was 49.3Moz.
Record safety performance
The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") at the Company's managed operations(1)(2) improved from 0.98 injuries per
million hours worked in 2024 to 0.97 injuries per million hours worked in 2025, the lowest level in AngloGold Ashanti's history and
well below the member average of the International Council on Metals and Minerals (ICMM) of 2.29 injuries per million hours
worked in 2024.
Operating and financial review
Gold production for the Group(1)(2)(3) increased 16% year-on-year to 3.1Moz in 2025 from 2.7Moz in 2024, mainly reflecting the first
full-year production contribution from Sukari and improved operational performance at certain assets in the portfolio. The average
gold price received per ounce*(1)(2) rose 45% year-on-year to $3,468/oz in 2025, from $2,394/oz in 2024.
Higher revenues translated directly into record cash flow and earnings, supported by continued focus on operational efficiency,
working capital discipline and cost leadership. Adjusted EBITDA* increased 129% year-on-year to a record $6.3bn in 2025 (from
$2.7bn in 2024), while free cash flow* rose 204% to $2.9bn in 2025 (from $1.0bn in 2024).
Q4 2025 EARNINGS RELEASE SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT 1
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1)(2) increased 7% year-on-year in 2025 broadly in line with aggregate inflation of about
3% across the portfolio, and materially higher royalties driven by the higher gold price, which resulted in an estimated 6% increase
in total cash costs per ounce*.
The 45% increase in the average gold price received per ounce*(1)(2) in 2025 compared to 2024 translated into a 143% rise in net
cash flow from operating activities.
Cash flow supports strong capital allocation
The Company generated record free cash flow* of $2.9bn for the full year, as AngloGold Ashanti continued to translate higher
margins into cash generation.
Adjusted EBITDA* was a record $6.3bn in 2025, while headline earnings(4) increased 186% year-on-year to $2.7bn for the year
(from $1.0bn in 2024), reflecting higher realised gold prices, production growth and disciplined cost control.
An interim dividend of $875m, or 173 US cents per share, was declared for Q4 2025. The payout comprises 50% of free cash flow*
and an additional amount of $350m, providing additional direct returns to shareholders and highlighting continued confidence in the
outlook for operating performance and free cash flow* generation in 2026. This takes the total payout for 2025 to a record $1.8bn,
or 357 US cents per share. This represents 62% of free cash flow* for 2025.
The balance sheet ended the year in its strongest position ever, even after record dividend payments, with an Adjusted net cash*
position of $879m at 31 December 2025, compared with Adjusted net debt* of $567m at the end of 2024. Total liquidity was
approximately $4.4bn at year end, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.9bn.
Payments to host Governments
AngloGold Ashanti's strong performance in 2025 translated into tangible benefits for a wide range of stakeholders, who realised a
significant increase in benefits from the improved operational result and the higher gold price. During the year, $2.66bn was paid by
the Company to host governments in various forms including direct and indirect taxes, royalties, dividends, profit share
arrangements and taxes on employee payrolls. This was more than double the amount paid in 2024, reinforcing the Company's
role as a long-term development partner.
Momentum continued at managed operations(1)(2)
Operational performance across the portfolio remained resilient, supported by improved execution, mine plan delivery and
continued focus on safety and cost discipline.
Gold production for the Group(1)(2)(3) was 3.1Moz for 2025 compared to 2.7Moz in 2024. Gold production for the year was mainly
driven by year-on-year production improvements at Obuasi (+20%), Siguiri (+6%), Geita (+2%), Cerro Vanguardia (+2%) and AGA
Mineração (Cuiabá) (+1%), as well as the first full-year contribution from Sukari (500koz).
These increases were partly offset by lower gold production contributions from Iduapriem (-16%), Sunrise Dam (-10%), Serra
Grande (-34%), Tropicana (-3%) and Kibali (-2%).
The solid production performance from AngloGold Ashanti's managed operations(1)(2), alongside an ongoing focus on site
expenditures and implementation of the Full Asset Potential programme, helped partially offset inflationary pressures and materially
higher royalty payments.
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1)(2) rose 7% year-on-year to $1,242/oz in 2025, compared with $1,157/oz in 2024. All-in
sustaining costs per ounce* ("AISC") for the Group(1)(2) rose 6% year-on-year to $1,709/oz in 2025, compared with $1,611/oz in
2024, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce* and increased sustaining capital expenditure*.
Total cash costs per ounce* for managed operations(1)(2) rose 5% year-on-year to $1,252/oz in 2025, compared with $1,187/oz in
2024. AISC per ounce* for managed operations(1)(2) rose 5% year-on-year to $1,751/oz in 2025, compared with $1,672/oz in 2024.
Total capital expenditure for the Group(1)(2) rose to $1.6bn in 2025, up 32% year-on-year from $1.2bn in 2024, with sustaining capital
expenditure* increasing 22% year-on-year to $1,141m, from $932m in 2024. The increase in sustaining capital expenditure* reflects
the first full-year inclusion of Sukari and ongoing investment to support asset integrity and long-term operational resilience, in line
with strategic priorities. Non-sustaining capital expenditure* was $459m in 2025, up 62% from $283m in 2024.
Advancing Arthur Gold Project studies(5)
The Company is declaring a first-time Merlin gold Mineral Reserve for the Arthur Gold Project totalling 4.9Moz. The completed pre-
feasibility study supports an initial nine-year mine life with an estimated average annual production of approximately 500,000oz,
with AISC per ounce* estimated at $954/oz (real terms). Project capital expenditure (real terms) is forecast at $3.6bn. The Arthur
Gold Project integrates the Merlin and Silicon deposits into a large-scale, continuous mineralised system, demonstrating the
possibility for a Tier One gold asset with strong economics and potential for further growth in southern Nevada's Beatty Mining
District.
Continued exploration success
AngloGold Ashanti continued to invest in exploration and Mineral Resource to Mineral Reserve conversion to underpin long-term
value creation. The Company has achieved significant exploration success over the past five years, adding 23.1Moz to its gold
Mineral Reserve including acquisitions and before accounting for depletion.
In 2025, for the ninth consecutive year, AngloGold Ashanti has recorded an annual increase in gold Mineral Reserve before
depletion (for the continuing operations), including a first time Mineral Reserve declaration at Merlin of 4.9Moz and a notable
increase of 1.3Moz pre-depletion at Geita.
Q4 2025 EARNINGS RELEASE SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT 2
At 31 December 2025, total Group gold Mineral Reserve was 36.5Moz, total Group gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource
was 68.0Moz and total Group gold Inferred Mineral Resource was 49.3Moz.
Updated outlook reflecting higher royalties(6)
The Company is pleased to provide updated 2026 guidance, following the divestment of Serra Grande from the portfolio.
The 2026 outlook includes estimated non-sustaining capital expenditure on the definitive feasibility study for the Arthur Gold Project
($111m), estimated early expenditure for North Bullfrog ($32m), estimated Kibali Pamoa waste stripping and tailings storage
facilities ("TSFs") ($134m attributable), estimated enhanced TSFs at Obuasi and Siguiri to facilitate production growth and life
extensions in coming years ($131m) and estimated waste stripping at Sukari ($126m) to provide flexibility for future organic growth
projects.
Gold production for the Group(1)(2)(3) is forecast to range between 2.80Moz and 3.17Moz in 2026.
Total cash cost per ounce* for the Group(1)(2) is forecast to range between $1,315/oz and $1,430/oz. The midpoint of these range
represents an approximate 11% increase (or $130/oz) compared to 2025, with approximately 50% of the increase reflecting higher
royalty costs and 50% of the increase reflecting cost inflation. AISC per ounce* for the Group(1)(2) is forecast to range between
$1,780/oz and $1,990/oz in 2026.
