ESG - our products combat climate change
Auto catalysts
Platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) - unique catalytic properties transform noxious exhaust gasses - hydrocarbons (HC),
nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide
(CO) - into more benign components (water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen gas (N2))
One of the world's largest recycler of auto
catalysts - re-use of critical metals. Treating more recycled ounces than mined ounces in the US operations
Renewable energy generation and conservation
Pt a component of wind turbine blades and
high-quality glass for photo voltaic (solar) panels
Pt utilised in energy efficient fiberglass which is widely used as an insulating material to reduce heat loss
Alternative power generation and storage
Pt's unique catalytic properties make it an
essential component of the hydrogen
economy.
An environmentally friendly source of energy - Pt's conductivity makes it ideal for the electrolysis of hydrogen from water
- Hydrogen fuel cells - an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative for generating electricity
Making a difference - one PGM ounce at a time

…by successfully concluding value accretive transactions
-
Built a leading and influential PGM business at a favourable stage
in the precious metals cycle for a total of R45bn (US$3.06bn1) within four years
R4.0bn for Aquarius in Apr 2016
R4.5bn² for Rustenburg in Nov 2016
US$2.2bn for Stillwater in May 2017
R4.3bn³ for Lonmin in June 2019
Executed a clearly communicated acquisition strategy to create a unique precious metals mining company
- Converting R45bn to US dollar using a US$/R14.68 exchange rate as of closing prices on 18 September 2019
- Minimum payment of R4.5 billion (R1.5bn upfront payment made). Balance settled from 35% of free cash flows from the Rustenburg operations
- Estimate purchase price (not accounting value) of the Lonmin transaction based on Lonmin share capital figure of 290,394,531 shares in fixed ratio of 1:1 resulting in 290,394,531
new Sibanye- Stillwater shares. Considerations estimate based on spot Sibanye-Stillwater closing share price on the JSE of R14.83 per share on 7 June 2019. US$ price converted at R14.94 | 12 |

Future trends
Balancing supply and demand of the basket
Tightening emission standards underpinning demand
Despite a forecast softening of expected Light Duty Vehicle Demand (global compound annual growth rate of 2.7% forecast to 2025) the continued tightening of emission standards and increases in market share of gasoline and hybrid vehicles continues to underpin the demand for palladium and rhodium
Expected increase in palladium loadings in 2019 due to stricter Emission Regulations and introduction of RDE despite engine downsizing

Revenue increased by 44%. US PGM operations increased by 69% or R10,992m (37% higher average 2E basket price, 9% weaker ZAR exchange rate and increased recycling volumes), SA PGM increased by 82% or R12,425m (Marikana operations included, 44% higher average 4E basket price). The SA gold operations incl. DRDGOLD decreased by 5% (industrial action impact - 33% reduction in Oz sold, partially offset by higher gold price).
Cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation increased at the US PGM operations due to increased recycling volumes (R6,772 m) and decreased at both the SA PGM (excl. Marikana) and SA gold operations due to the transition to Toll processing and the impact of industrial action, respectively.
Net other cash costs include care and maintenance costs of R548m at Cooke operations; R154m at the Marikana operations and R46m at Burnstone. Also included are strike related costs of R402m, corporate social investment of R149m and lease payments of R132m.
Amortisation and depreciation increased mainly due the inclusion of the Marikana operations.
Net finance expense was flat.
Loss on financial instruments included fair value loss on the US$ Convertible Bond derivative financial instrument of R3,912m (258% higher share price), and an increase in fair value loss on the Rustenburg BEE share-based payment obligation and deferred payment at the Rustenburg operations of R1,218m and R867m, respectively (higher PGM basket prices).
Gain on acquisition of R1,103m arose on the acquisition of Lonmin.

1 Normalised earnings is a pro forma performance measure and is not a measure of performance under IFRS, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to profit before tax, profit for the year, cash from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS
Dividend policy: Sibanye-Stillwater's dividend policy is to return at least 25% to 35% of normalised earnings to shareholders and after due consideration of future requirements the dividend may be increased beyond these levels.
The primary strategic priority for 2019 has been to deleverage the Balance sheet and to reduce gross debt over the 12- 24 month period from US$1.8bn to US$1bn.
The most likely time for a return to dividend payments is expected to be in H1 2020, subject to prevailing commodity prices.*
