Natascha Viljoen, CEO of Anglo American Platinum, commented:

“The first half of 2022 has seen us largely mitigate the operational headwinds of Covid-19, global supply
chain disruptions, managing electricity disruptions, as well as social and geopolitical complexities to deliver
another strong financial performance. This is coming from the prior period of record results when we
experienced record prices and processed and sold the majority of inventory built up during the ACP rebuild in
2020. Our performance in the first half of this year represents more normalised levels of sales volumes and
resulting EBITDA.

I am sad to report that we tragically lost Julian Sesinyi, who was injured in November 2021 and passed away
from complications linked to his slip and fall accident at the ACP. At our independently managed operation
Modikwa, Rheina Malatji was fatally injured by a spare wheel that had rolled down a decline. We send our
deepest condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues. Our relentless focus remains on eliminating
fatalities and achieving zero harm across our operations.

We are proud to have concluded a groundbreaking five-year wage agreement with our unions and
employees, highlighting our constructive relationships and building of trust. This is a cost-to-company
increase of 6.6% on average for five years and brings a firmer foundation to our business stability.
                                                                                                          
                                                                                    
Total PGM production was down 4%, with the majority of own-mine assets performing better than in H1
2021. Mototolo and Unki both delivered 21% increases as a result of the successful implementation of
concentrator debottlenecking projects. Amandelbult maintained production, despite mined-out areas leading
to infrastructure closures at Tumela at the end of 2021.

Mogalakwena experienced several headwinds – unprecedented rainfall at the start of the year as well as
Covid-19-related supply chain disruptions that led to delays in the delivery of drilling equipment. The
business is also adjusting to longer haul distances as we, together with our local community, identified an
area of cultural significance which resulted in us diverting our waste dumping zone. Despite these
challenges, we are confident of improved performance in H2. There is a planned increase in the truck fleet to
mitigate the longer haul distances; we have access to higher-grade mining areas in line with the mine plan;
we see operational improvements through the Operating Model gaining maturity and the implementation of
our P101 operational excellence programmes; as well as greater runtime on the North Concentrator due to
maintenance brought forward into H1.

Refined production was in line with metal-in-concentrate production, with all mined material processed. Sales
volumes were in line with refined production. Work-in-progress volumes have returned to more normalised
levels as the Company processed the work-in-progress inventory that had built up in 2020 as a result of the
temporary closure of the ACP.

While PGM basket prices decreased in the first half, the realised price of $2,671 is the second-highest
average price on record, illustrating the robust underlying market fundamentals for the suite of metals.

This contributed to another strong financial performance, with revenue of R86 billion, EBITDA of R43 billion,
and an EBITDA mining margin of 59% achieved in the period. The 20% decrease in revenue and 32%
decrease in EBITDA was a result of lower sales volumes compared to the prior period, mainly due to H1
2021 recording the benefit of increased refined production due to higher-than-normal work-in-progress
inventory following the ACP Phase A rebuild.

This strong financial performance enabled Anglo American Platinum to continue to contribute to broader
society, with a contribution of R71 billion in the first six months of 2022.

Our disciplined approach to capital allocation continues, taking into consideration the outlook for our
operations and metals, sustaining capital requirements, returns to shareholders, and growth opportunities.
As a result, the board has approved an interim dividend of R41 per share, or R10.9 billion, in line with our
pay-out policy of 40% of headline earnings, as well as a special dividend of R40 per share, or R10.6 billion,
bringing the total pay-out to 80% of headline earnings.

Outlook

Looking at the remainder of the year, inflationary pressures will continue to have an impact on mining inputs,
as well as tightening monetary policy. Full-year metal-in-concentrate production is between 3.9 - 4.3 million
PGM ounces, and refined production is between 4 - 4.4 million ounces. Anglo American Platinum is confident
that full-year guidance will be achieved; however, potential external headwinds exist, including further Covid-
19-related disruptions and Eskom load-shedding.

Unit cost of production guidance is R14,000 to R15,000 per PGM ounce, based on an oil price of around
$100 per barrel. Capital expenditure guidance for the full year has been reduced to between R16 billion and
R17.5 billion.

In the PGM markets, the forecast is for platinum’s surplus to gradually move towards a deficit due to a
significant increase in automotive platinum demand, as some platinum replaces palladium in gasoline
catalysts. Palladium is likely to move into surplus for the opposite reason, though to what extent will depend
on what happens to automotive production. Rhodium should head back into deficit after two years of surplus.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Longer-term, we are excited with the momentum we are seeing in the development of the hydrogen
economy and our options to grow and deliver into a transitionary and future decarbonised world. With more
countries announcing hydrogen-specific strategies, there is more investment committed to broader hydrogen
infrastructure and more green hydrogen production, which will enable us to unlock incremental PGM demand
in new segments such as hydrogen production and storage, as well as mobility.

Our market development efforts will continue to support both established demand segments and the
discovery of new applications. One example is our recently launched nuGen™ hydrogen-fueled haul truck at
Mogalakwena, which has the potential to unlock new frontiers in decarbonising our operations, drive demand
for PGMs, and support the building of a hydrogen economy in South Africa.

We continue to be uncompromising in our focus on getting the building blocks for continued success in
place, and ensuring that our operations are safe, stable and capable of delivering to the expectations of our
shareholders and stakeholders across society.

None of this would be possible without our people, who are the lifeblood of our organisation, and I thank all
our colleagues for their contributions.”
