- Earnings and cashflow impacted by steep decline in PGM commodity prices
- Lower medium to long term prices (PGM and nickel), operational constraints, above inflation increases and deferral of the Burnstone project to preserve cash in terms of the Group’s Capital allocation framework, resulted in an impairment of R47.5bn (US$2.6bn) across the Group
- Loss for the period of R37.4bn (US$2bn) compared to a profit of R19.0bn (US$1.2bn) for 2022
- Localised operational challenges in South Africa (a factor in load curtailment and copper cable theft) continued to impact production, as did the floods and heavy rainfall at both our Century zinc retreatment operation and Sandouville nickel refinery.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Group decarbonisation accelerated with three renewable energy projects providing 267MW of solar and wind energy, financed through a third-party power purchase agreement (PPAs) which assists with capital preservation. These projects will provide approximately 15% of our SA electricity requirements and enables the Group to reduce its scope 2 emissions.
