TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Shareholders are advised that Exxaro and its directors have a reasonable degree of certainty relating
to the expected financial results of Exxaro for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021.
Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 is expected to
increase between 99% and 111% compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2020. This was
mainly due to the increase in our equity-accounted income from Sishen Iron Ore Company
Proprietary Limited. In addition, HEPS are based on a lower weighted average number of shares
(WANOS) of 250 million following our share repurchase program. WANOS for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2020 was 251 million.
Attributable earnings per share (AEPS) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 is expected to
increase between 84% and 96% compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2020. In addition
to the increase in equity-accounted income in the current period, the financial results in both periods
were influenced by various once-off items, such as the gain on the disposal of our Tronox investments
in the current period, as well as a gain on the deemed disposal of the previously held 50% equity
interest in the Cennergi joint venture in the comparative period. AEPS are based on WANOS of 250
million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021.
EBITDA(1) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 is expected to increase between 5% and 17%
compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2020, mainly due to the inclusion of Cennergi
results for the full six-month period. Whilst coal production and sales volumes were impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic and Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) challenges, a healthy increase in the average
benchmark API4 export price contributed positively to the coal financial performance.
There were no non-core adjustments(2) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021.
