Shareholders are advised that earnings per share ('EPS') for the six months ended
30 June 2025 (the 'current period') is expected to be between R1.40 and R2.10, a
decrease of between R7.42 and R8.12 per share compared to reported EPS of R9.52
for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the 'prior period'). Earnings attributable to the
shareholders of the Group for the current period is expected to be between R180 million
and R280 million.

Headline earnings per share1 ('HEPS') for the current period is also expected to be
between R1.40 and R2.10, a decrease of between R7.42 and R8.12 per share
compared to reported HEPS of R9.52 for the prior period. Headline earnings attributable
to the shareholders of the Group for the current period is expected to be between
R180 million and R280 million.

These EPS and HEPS figures are calculated using a weighted average number of
shares of 131,790,424 for the current period and 135,382,283 for the prior period.

The expected EPS and HEPS ranges for the current period are summarised in the table
below:

Earnings attributable to the shareholders of the Group have been impacted by the
ongoing challenging market conditions, as well as restructuring costs of R285 million
recognised relating to costs to be incurred as the Goedehoop and Isibonelo operations
reach the end of their lives in 2025.

Key areas of judgement which may impact the expected EPS and HEPS figures above
are in the process of being finalised, and any changes to these ranges, if necessary, will
be communicated to shareholders.
