Trading statement for the year ended 30 June 2022

Johannesburg, Wednesday, 24 August 2022. In terms of paragraph 3.4(b)
of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), a company listed
on the JSE is required to publish a trading statement as soon as they
are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
financial results for the period to be reported upon next will differ
by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous comparable
period.

Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony, provides the
following context: “As we continue to grow and diversify production,
capital expenditure must remain disciplined, focused and affordable. We
continue to optimise our existing operations and asset mix, reallocating
capital towards those projects and operations that will deliver the
highest possible returns, while lowering the overall risk profile of
Harmony. Not only will we prioritise investment in our high-grade assets,
we will achieve a more balanced production split and ensure all of our
mines are safe and profitable.”

“We have therefore taken the tough decision to restructure Tshepong
Operations. Going forward, Tshepong Operations will be reported on
separately as Tshepong North and Tshepong South. The Tshepong North
sub-75 project has therefore been suspended and the life-of-mine reduced
from 19 years to seven years. This restructure will create a smaller but
immediately profitable operation going forward. The capital which was
earmarked for Tshepong North will be reallocated to projects delivering
higher returns such as the Zaaiplaats project and the Kareerand tailings
expansion in the Vaal River region. This was not an easy decision but
it was necessary to ensure we continue to mine sustainably and
profitably”, Steenkamp concluded.

Expected basic and headline earnings for the financial year ended
30 June 2022 ("FY22")

Shareholders of Harmony are advised that a reasonable degree of certainty
exists that basic earnings for FY22 will be lower than for the year ended
30 June 2021 ("the previous comparable period" or "FY21") primarily due
to:

    • A non-recurring gain on bargain purchase of R303 million (US$18
      million) in FY21, which was due to the acquisition of the assets
      and liabilities of Mponeng operations and related assets;


                                    1
    • a decreased gross profit as a result of higher production costs,
      as well as a higher impairment loss that has been recognised on
      property, plant and equipment and goodwill;
    • a translation loss on the US$ denominated debt at 30 June 2022,
      compared to a gain at 30 June 2021; and
    • a lower derivative gain recorded in FY22 compared to FY21.

The loss incurred in the current financial period was partially offset
by the movement in the taxation expense from an expense in FY21 to a
credit in FY22, due to a decline in taxable income, a decrease in the
deferred tax rates and the impact of impairments recognised.

Earnings per share is expected to be between a loss of 160 and 189 South
African cents per share – which is a decrease of more than 100% on the
earnings of 842 South African cents per share for the previous comparable
period. In US dollar terms, the earnings per share is expected to be
between a loss of 8 and 9 US cents per share, which is a decline of more
than 100% on earnings of 54 US cents per share reported for the previous
comparable period.

Headline earnings per share is expected to be between 461 and 549 South
African cents, which represents a decrease of between 53% and 44% from
the headline earnings per share of 987 South African cents reported in
the previous comparable period. In US dollar terms, the headline earnings
per share is expected to be between 30 and 35 US cents per share, which
is a decrease of between 53% and 45% on the headline earnings of 64 US
cents per share reported for the previous comparable period.

The movements in earnings for FY22 compared to FY21 are due mainly to:

    Production costs

    Production costs increased mainly due to the inclusion of Mponeng
    and its related assets' operating costs for a full year compared to
    nine months in FY21. Inflationary increases also affected various
    facets such as labour, consumables and electricity costs. Overall,
    all-in sustaining cost for the group was marginally higher than the
    guidance range for FY22 of R805 000/kg to R835 000/kg.

    Impairment

    Following an assessment for impairment triggers, impairment tests
    were performed for the group's cash generating units (“CGUs”).
    Impairment of R4 433 million (US$273 million) for property, plant
    and equipment and goodwill was recorded, of which R333 million
    (US$21 million) related to goodwill. Impairments were recognised on
    the following CGUs:




                                    2
                                                                Year
                                                               ended
                                                              30 June
  Figures in million                                            2022
  Tshepong Operations                                            3 622
  Moab Khotsong*                                                   522
  Kusasalethu                                                      145
  Bambanani**                                                      144
  Total impairment                                               4 433
  *  R302 million recognised against goodwill
  ** R31 million recognised against goodwill

  The impairments were primarily due to the following:

• The restructuring of the Tshepong Operations resulted in two
  separate CGUs being tested for impairment purposes, being Tshepong
  South and Tshepong North. Certain reserves were moved to the resource
  base for the CGUs and this resulted in discounting having a more
  significant impact on the valuation of the operations. Furthermore,
  this restructuring required reinvestment in Tshepong South's
  infrastructure to deal with flexibility constraints with an increase
  in its capital expenditure;
• Cost increases were seen across all CGUs as a result of inflationary
  pressures. This impact was significant to the Tshepong South,
  Tshepong North and Moab Khotsong CGUs, where it contributed to the
  impairment recognised;
• The main cause of impairment for Bambanani was the operation's
  closure date being moved forward to 30 June 2022 as a result of
  increased seismicity and prioritising the safety of our people. The
  impairment was recognised at 31 December 2021; and
• Kusasalethu has two years of mining left. Safety considerations
  during the planning process resulted in the revised life-of-mine
  plan, which includes a decrease in planned tonnes and grade.

  Foreign exchange rate movement impact

  A foreign exchange translation loss of approximately R327 million
  (US$21 million), compared to a R670 million gain (US$44 million) in
  FY21, is predominantly attributable to the Rand weakening against
  the US dollar.

  Included in FY22 were derivative gains of close to R53 million
  (US$3 million) compared to gains of R1 022 million (US$66 million)
  in FY21. The lower derivative gains are primarily as a result of the
  weakening of the Rand exchange rate against the US Dollar relative
  to the average cap rate of the foreign exchange derivatives and the
  reduction of open positions during FY22.




                                           3
     Taxation

     The factors above resulted in lower income taxes in FY22 as compared
     to FY21.

The US dollar translation for the amounts disclosed above was done at
the annual average exchange rate for each year’s information, except for
impairments and the gain on bargain purchase, where the spot rates on
the date of the transactions were used.

The financial information on which this trading statement has been based
has not been reviewed or reported on by Harmony’s external auditors.

Harmony will publish its financial results for the year ended
30 June 2022 on Tuesday, 30 August 2022. Please see Harmony’s website
