Trading Update summary9 Dec, 2025

Operational performance and production

  • Maintained a fatality-free record for nearly three years, supporting strong production momentum.

  • South African export saleable production is expected to exceed guidance, reaching 13.7 million tons, driven by Annea ramp-up and strong Mafube performance.

  • Ensham in Australia is set to deliver 3.8 million tons, within guidance, despite earlier geological challenges and contracts for lower quality coal.

  • Improved Transnet Freight Rail performance, with annualized rate up to 56.6 million tons, benefiting operations.

  • Export equity sales in South Africa expected at 13.6Mt, up from 12.6Mt, enabled by higher production and improved rail.

Market conditions and pricing

  • Thermal coal prices declined in 2025, with Richards Bay averaging $89.63/ton (down from $105.30/ton in 2024) and Newcastle at $105.11/ton (down from $134.85/ton); Newcastle hit a four-year low of ~$90/ton in September.

  • South African coal achieved a price of $76/ton, reflecting wider discounts and margin pressure.

  • Demand from China and India was below expectations, with Indian steelmakers shifting to lower-cost imports.

  • Forward price curve is in contango, indicating expected price recovery into 2026 and 2027.

  • Global economic uncertainty and currency strength impacted competitiveness and demand.

Costs, CapEx, and financials

  • Australia’s sustaining CapEx is ZAR 650 million, below guidance due to phasing.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
