Natascha Viljoen, CEO of Anglo American Platinum, commented:
“On behalf of everyone at Anglo American Platinum, I would like to pay our respects to the victims of
the Covid-19 virus. We extend our deepest condolences to their family, friends and colleagues.
Our business has faced some significant headwinds in the first six months of 2020, with the impact of
Covid-19 on our operations and the temporary shutdown of the ACP following a force majeure incident.
Despite these challenges, we continued our commitment to safety, with zero fatalities at own-managed
operations for 620 consecutive days. We remain dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our employees
and local communities, investing R251 million in additional Covid-19 measures, including R55 million
on community initiatives which have benefitted over one million people.
Our financial results for the six months illustrate the resilience of the business. We ended the period
under review with an increase in EBITDA to R13.1 billion, a net cash position of R11.3 billion, and an
increase in return on capital employed to 48%. As always, we remain committed to disciplined capital
allocation, prioritising the need to maintain asset integrity, ensure a strong balance sheet. The Board
has declared an interim dividend of R10.23 per share.
We expect to see a stronger production performance in H2 2020, but caution that significant headwinds
still exist.”
