Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying group balance sheets of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (the Company) as of 30 June
2025 and 2024, the related group income statements, group statements of comprehensive income, group statements of changes in
shareholders' equity and the group cash flow statements, for each of the two years in the period ended 30 June 2025, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at 30 June 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended 30 June 2025, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of 30 June 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control
—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and
our report dated 31 October 2025 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or
fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgements. The communication of a
critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not,
by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or
disclosure to which it relates.
Description of the
Matter
Provision for environmental rehabilitation
As more fully described in note 24 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognises a
provision for environmental rehabilitation obligations, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine
closure for the Company’s mines, related surface infrastructure and tailings dams.  Based on disturbances
to date, except for groundwater and radiation disturbances, as disclosed in note 36(b) to the consolidated
financial statements, the net present value of expected rehabilitation cost estimates is recognised and
provided for in full, in the consolidated financial statements. The provision amounted to R6 098 million at 30
June 2025.
Auditing the Company’s provision for environmental rehabilitation was complex and required significant
judgment, particularly in evaluating the additional or revised extent of disturbances to date, cost rates used
in estimating the rehabilitation cost, and assumptions related to future inflation and discount rates. These
estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and required the involvement of our environmental and
valuation specialists.
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
To test the provision for environmental rehabilitation, we performed audit procedures with the assistance of
our environmental specialists. These procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company’s
compliance with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements, and assessing the methodology used by
management to estimate the provision against industry practice. We further assessed the reasonableness of
rehabilitation cost estimates by comparing them to the Company’s regulatory submissions. We evaluated a
sample of additional or revised measurements of disturbances by comparing them to supporting
documentation, such as geographical area maps and surveyor measurements made by the Company. In
relation to cost rate assumptions, we assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimated cost rates
by comparing them to cost rates we have observed in the market.
F-3
We assessed the completeness of the provision, by, among other procedures, comparing the current year
capital projects to the corresponding additional or revised extent of disturbances to date. We also performed
a comparison between changes in geographical area maps and surveyor measurements, since the prior
year, to the respective changes in the disturbances to date used to estimate the provision.
With the involvement of our valuation specialists, we evaluated management’s future inflation  and discount
rate assumptions, used in the rehabilitation models, by comparing them to relevant market data and
benchmarks.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of 30 June 2025, based on
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below
on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (the Company) has not
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of 30 June 2025, based on the COSO criteria.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment.
Management has identified a material weakness related to the inadequate design of control activities to adequately address identified
risks or operate at a sufficient level of precision, that would identify material misstatements to their consolidated financial statements.
This material weakness contributed to additional material weaknesses, being (i) controls related to the completeness and accuracy of
information produced by the Company, (ii) the level of precision and documentation around  management review controls or controls
that contain an element of review and (iii) ineffective information technology general controls.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the group balance sheets of the Company as of 30 June 2025 and 2024, the related group income statements, group
statements of comprehensive income, group statements of changes in shareholders' equity and the group cash flow statements, for
each of the two years in the period ended 30 June 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our
audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated 31 October 2025, which expressed
an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the consolidated Group income statement, Group statement of comprehensive income, Group statement of changes
in shareholders’ equity and Group cash flow statement of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and
cash flows of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For the year ended 30 June 2025
1General information
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (the company) and its subsidiaries (collectively Harmony or the group) are engaged in
gold mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction and processing. Gold bullion, the group’s principal product, is
currently produced at its operations in South Africa and Papua New Guinea (PNG). Uranium and silver are produced as by-
products.
The company is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in South Africa. The address of its registered office is Randfontein
Office Park, Corner Main Reef Road and Ward Avenue, Randfontein, 1759.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 24 October 2025.
2Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have been consistently
applied in all years presented, except for the changes as described under "Recent accounting developments" below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations
(collectively IFRS Accounting Standards).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared to the nearest million and rounding may cause differences.
Restatement of comparative information
Group Income statement reclassification
The contingent consideration remeasurement has been presented separately on the group income statement due to its
materiality in the 2025 financial year. The contingent consideration remeasurement was included as part of other operating
expenses in the prior periods. The reclassification had no impact on any reported totals or sub-totals in the group income
statement, headline earnings or on any amounts presented in the group statement of comprehensive income, group balance
sheet, group statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the group cash flow statement.
Restatement of disclosure of financial liability portion of trade and other payables
During the 2025 financial year, an understatement related to the 2024 amounts for the financial liability portion of trade and other
payables, as disclosed in the financial risk management note, was identified. Specifically, shaft-related liabilities and certain other
accruals had been omitted from the financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and liquidity risk disclosures pertaining to
trade and other payables. This resulted in the financial liability portion of trade and other payables being understated by
R1 425 million. These disclosures in the financial risk management note have therefore been restated for the 2024 financial year
(refer to note 37). The restatement had no impact on the group income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance
sheet, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flow statement, any of the earnings per share amounts or any other
note disclosures.
Recent accounting developments
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards adopted by the group
During the financial year, the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards were
adopted by the group. No other standards and amendments to standards that became effective during the 2025 year were
relevant to the consolidated financial statements.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment) - Classification Of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify its requirements for the presentation of
liabilities in the statement of financial position. The amendments are effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2024. The amendments did not have a material impact on the group.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment) - Non-current Liabilities With Covenants
The amendments improved the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve
months is subject to compliance with covenants. The amendments also responded to stakeholders’ concerns about the
classification of such a liability as current or non-current. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments did not have a material impact on the group.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been
early adopted
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the standards, amendments to standards and interpretations relevant
to the consolidated financial statements listed below were in issue but not yet effective. These new standards and interpretations
have not been early adopted by the group and the group plans on adopting these standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations on the dates when they become effective

Instruments: Disclosures to better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are often structured
as power purchase agreements. These amendments include:
clarifying the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements
permitting hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments and
adding new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial
performance and cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The amendments are not
expected to have a material impact on the group.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments : Disclosures & IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Amendment) - Classification And Measurement
The IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments in response to feedback received
as part of the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
and related requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB amended to the requirements related to:
settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system and
assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, including those with environmental, social and governance
(ESG)-linked features.
The IASB also amended disclosure requirements relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through
other comprehensive income and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not
relate directly to basic lending risks and costs. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2026. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the group.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
The IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, with the aim to improve the quality of financial
reporting by:
requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss
requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures and
adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information.
The IASB expects these improvements will enable investors to make more informed decisions leading to better allocations of
capital that will contribute to long-term financial stability. This standard replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Harmony is still assessing the impact of
this new accounting standard.
Measurement basis
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain financial assets and
financial liabilities which are measured at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income – refer to note 37.
Group accounting policies
Accounting policies are included in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements and have been highlighted
between red lines in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies that follow are applied
throughout the financial statements.
2.1Consolidation
The group recognises that control is the single basis for consolidation for all types of entities in accordance with IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial information includes the financial statements of the company, its
subsidiaries, interest in associates and joint arrangements and structured entities. Where the group has no control over an entity,
that entity is not consolidated.
Control
The group, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity, shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether
it controls the investee. The group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the group up until when that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses
on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

2Accounting policies continued
Group accounting policies continued
2.1Consolidation continued
Control continued
(i) Subsidiaries continued
The group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for
the acquisition of an acquiree is the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the
group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-
by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement below operating profit
or loss.
(ii) Associates
Associates are entities in which the group has significant influence, but not control, over operational and financial policies. This
may be when there is a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights or when significant influence can be
otherwise demonstrated, for example where the group has the right of representation on the board of directors, or other
governing body, of the entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for by using the equity method of accounting, and are initially recognised at cost. The
group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are
adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. The group’s share of the associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is
recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movement in reserves is recognised in other reserves.
When the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the group does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The carrying value of an
associate is reviewed on a regular basis and, if impairment in the carrying value has occurred, it is written off in the period in
which such impairment is identified.
Accounting policies of associates have been reviewed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
(iii) Joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are arrangements of which two or more parties have joint control and are contractually bound. The joint
arrangement can either be a joint operation or a joint venture. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that
have joint control of the arrangement and have the right to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the
arrangement. These parties are called joint operators. A joint venture is a joint arrangement where the parties that have joint
control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint venturers.
For interest in joint operations, the group includes its share of the joint operations' individual income and expenses, assets and
liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the group’s financial statements.
Where an additional interest in a joint operation is acquired, the principles of IFRS 3 are applied to account for the transaction.
The group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the group to the joint operation that is attributable to
the other joint operators. The group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint operation that results from the
purchase of assets by the group from the joint operation until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on
the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is
recognised immediately. The group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for it using the equity
accounting method.
(iv) Structured entities
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who
controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by
means of contractual arrangements.
The accounting treatment for a structured entity will fall into one of the aforementioned categories (i to iii) depending on whether
the group has control over that structured entity.
2.2Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in South African Rand, which is the group’s presentation currency.
References to “A$” refers to Australian currency, “R” to South African currency, “$” or “US$” to United States currency and
“PGK” or “Kina” to Papua New Guinean currency.

Group accounting policies continued
2.2Foreign currency translation continued
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation to
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income
statement. This includes the gains and losses on the translation of the US$-denominated facilities.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
while equity items are translated at historic rates
Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (the rate on the date of the
transaction is used if the average is not a reasonable rate for the translation of the transaction)
All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of
borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive
income. When a foreign operation is sold or control is otherwise lost, exchange differences that were recorded in other
comprehensive income are recognised in profit or loss in the period of the disposal or change in control. Goodwill and fair value
adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and
translated at the closing rate.
2.3Derivatives and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends
on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The difference between the fair value of the derivative at initial recognition and expected forward transaction price is deferred
and recognised as a day one gain or loss. The day one gain or loss is amortised over the derivative contract period and
recognised in profit or loss in gains/losses on derivatives.
The full fair value of a derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity is more than
12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity is less than 12 months.
(i) Cash flow hedge
The group designates certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast
transactions (cash flow hedges). At inception of the hedge relationship, the group documents the economic relationship between
hedging instruments and hedged items, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to
offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The group documents its risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking its hedge transactions.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in profit or loss within gains/losses on derivatives.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place
and affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the Rand and US$ gold forward sales contracts and
Rand and US$ gold collars is recognised in profit or loss within revenue.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction that
was hedged is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative
gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
(ii) Derivatives not designated for hedge accounting purposes
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value as well as gains and losses on
expiry, disposal or termination of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised
immediately in profit or loss and are included in gains/losses on derivatives.
2.4Exploration expenditure
The group expenses all exploration and evaluation expenditures until it is concluded that the project is technically feasible and
commercially viable, and that future economic benefits are therefore probable. The information used to make that determination
depends on the level of exploration as well as the degree of confidence in the ore body as set out below.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure on greenfield sites, being those where the group does not have any mineral deposits
which are already being mined or developed, is expensed as incurred until the technical and commercial viability of the project
has been demonstrated usually through the completion of a final feasibility study. However, in certain instances, the technical
and commercial viability of the deposit may be demonstrated at an earlier stage, for example where an extended feasibility study
is conducted and the underlying feasibility study in respect of specific components of the mineral deposit has advanced to such
a stage that significant commercially viable reserves has been established, and the other criteria for the recognition of an asset
have been met. At this point the expenditure is capitalised as mine development cost to the extent that future economic benefits
are expected.

Group accounting policies continued
2.4Exploration expenditure continued
Exploration and evaluation expenditure on brownfield sites, being those adjacent to mineral deposits which are already being
mined or developed, is expensed as incurred until the group is able to demonstrate that future economic benefits are probable
through the completion of a feasibility study, after which the expenditure is capitalised as mine development cost to the extent
that future economic benefits are expected. A “feasibility study” consists of a comprehensive study of the viability of a mineral
project that has advanced to a stage where the mining method has been established, and which, if an effective method of
mineral processing has been determined, includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions of technical,
engineering, operating economic factors and the evaluation of other relevant factors. The feasibility study, when combined with
existing knowledge of the mineral property that is adjacent to mineral deposits that are already being mined or developed, allows
the group to conclude that the project is technically feasible and commercially viable.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure relating to extensions of mineral deposits which are already being mined or developed,
including expenditure on the definition of mineralisation of such mineral deposits, is capitalised as a mine development cost
following the completion of an economic evaluation equivalent to a feasibility study. This economic evaluation is distinguished
from a feasibility study in that some of the information that would normally be determined in a feasibility study is instead obtained
from the existing mine or development. This information, when combined with existing knowledge of the mineral property already
being mined or developed, allows the directors to conclude that the project is technically feasible and commercially viable.
2.5Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation or depreciation and are tested annually for impairment or
when there is an indication of impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed annually on 30 June for
impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows
(cash generating unit or CGU). Each operating shaft, along with allocated common assets such as plants and administrative
offices, is considered to be a cash generating unit as each shaft is largely independent from the cash flows of other shafts and
assets belonging to the group.
Fair value less cost to sell is generally determined by using discounted estimated after-tax future cash flows. Future cash flows
are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected commodity prices (considering current and historical prices,
price trends and related factors), production levels and cash costs of production, all based on life-of-mine (LoM) plans. Future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and risk specific to the asset. Refer to note 14 for detail.
The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold that will be obtained from reserves and resources and all
related exploration stage mineral interests (except for other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields exploration
potential discussed separately below) after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of
recoverable minerals from such related exploration stage mineral interests will be risk adjusted based on management’s relative
confidence in such materials.
In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely
independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Except for other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields
exploration potential, estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are included on an area of interest basis, which generally
represents an individual operating mine, even if the mines are included in a larger mine complex. Areas of exploration potential
are grouped on an area of activity basis.
In the case of mineral interests associated with other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields exploration potential,
cash flows and fair values are individually evaluated based primarily on recent exploration results and recent transactions
involving sales of similar properties, if any. Assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties.
Impairment losses on goodwill are recognised immediately in the income statement and are not reversed. The impairment
testing is performed annually on 30 June or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed annually for possible reversal of the
impairment at 30 June. Reversal of impairments is also considered when there is objective evidence to indicate that the asset is
no longer impaired. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not higher than the carrying value that would have been determined had no
impairment been recognised in prior years.
2.6Operating profit
The group defines operating profit as the profit earned from the normal core mining operations. In reporting operating profit in the
income statement, capital transactions involving subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates are excluded from operating
profit as these are not considered to be part of the mining operations of the Harmony group. Any gains or losses on capital
transactions are presented below the operating profit line.

3Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the group’s management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Key accounting estimates and assumptions applied:
Estimate of taxation – note 11
Recognition of deferred tax asset – note 11
Gold Mineral Reserves and Resources – note 14
Production start date – note 14
Stripping activities – note 14
Impairment of assets – note 14
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment – note 14
Exploration and evaluation assets – note 14
Estimate of exposure and liabilities with regard to
rehabilitation costs – note 24
Estimate of provision for silicosis settlement – note 25
Leases – note 26
Valuation of contingent consideration liability – note 27
Fair value of share-based payments – note 34
Assessment of contingencies – note 36
Valuation of derivative financial instruments – note 37.
Other accounting estimates and assumptions applied:
Valuation of interest in associate – note 19
Provision for stock obsolescence – note 21
Estimate of employee benefit liabilities – note 25
Streaming contract liability – note 29.
4Revenue
Accounting policy
(a) Commodities
Revenue from metal sales include the sale of gold, silver and uranium. Revenue from metal sales is recognised when the group
satisfies its performance obligations under its contract with the customer, by transferring such metals to the customer's control.
Transfer of control is generally determined to be when the risk and title to the metals passes to the customer. Revenue is
measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer and is driven by the quoted market prices of
the metals.
(b) Toll treatment
The group has entered into agreements with various third parties to treat gold-bearing material at certain of the group's
metallurgical plants in South Africa. The determination of the consideration receivable is set out in each individual contract,
based on the third parties' specific circumstances. Revenue from toll treatment services is recognised as the group satisfies its
single performance obligation under its contract with the third parties, which is the recovery of the gold through the treatment
process and the facilitation of the ultimate sale of recovered gold. This is satisfied over time. The gold-bearing material, and
thereafter recovered gold, remains at all times under control of the third parties until the ultimate sale of the recovered gold.
Harmony therefore acts as agent in treating the gold-bearing material. Settlement is done in the month following the sale of gold
(see below).
Subsequent to treatment, the group delivers the recovered gold on behalf of the third parties to Rand Refinery for further refining,
whereafter it is sold. The group acts as an agent in the sales process, receiving payment on behalf of the third parties before
transferring the amounts owed to them.
(c) Hedging
The effective portion of gains or losses on the derivatives designated as cash flow hedging items (forecast sales transactions)
are recognised in revenue when the forecast sales transactions occur. See the accounting policy for derivatives and hedging
activities in note 2.

Revenue from contracts with customers
The points of transfer of control are as follows:
Gold: South Africa (excluding streaming contract)
Gold is delivered and a certificate of sale is issued.
Gold and silver: Hidden Valley
Metal is collected from Hidden Valley and a confirmation of collection
is sent to and accepted by the customer.
Uranium
Confirmation of transfer is issued.
Toll treatment services
As the gold-bearing material is treated and processed over time.
Streaming contract
Gold is delivered and credited into the Franco-Nevada designated
gold account.
(a)The increase in gold revenue during the 2025 financial year is due to the average dollar gold price increasing by 31.1%,
from US$1 999/oz in the 2024 year to US$2 620/oz in 2025. This was offset by a 4.2% decrease in gold sold from
48 222kg to 46 193kg, coupled with the strengthening of the Rand/US$ exchange rate from an average of R18.70/US$ to
R18.15/US$.
The increase in gold revenue during the 2024 financial year is due to the average dollar gold price increasing by 10.6%,
from US$1 808/oz in the 2023 year to US$1 999/oz in 2024. Further to this there was a 5.5% increase in gold sold from
45 690kg to 48 222kg. In addition, the Rand/US$ exchange rate weakened from an average of R17.76/US$ to R18.70/
US$.
(b)Substantially all of the group's silver is derived from the Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea. The increase in silver
revenue in the 2025 financial year is mainly due to the average dollar silver price increased by 26.2% from US$24.72/oz in
the 2024 year to US$31.20/oz. This was offset by silver production decreasing 14.6% from 114 240kg in the 2024 year to
97 590kg.
The increase in silver revenue in the 2024 financial year is mainly due to an increase in production of 39.2% to 114 240kg
from 82 093kg in 2023. In addition, the average dollar silver price increased by 12.9% from US$21.89/oz in 2023 to
US$24.72/oz.
(c)Uranium is derived from the Moab Khotsong operation. The decrease is mainly due to uranium produced from 267 667kg
in the 2024 year to 221 374kg in 2025.
The increase in 2024 is due to uranium produced increasing by 12.7% to 267 667kg from 237 438kg in 2023, together
with an increase in the average uranium price of 59.2% to R3 121/kg in 2024 from R1 960/kg in 2023.
(d)The fees for services rendered for the treatment of third-party gold-bearing material at the Doornkop of R203 million
(2024: R196 million) and Moab Khotsong operations of R329 million (2024: R380 million). 
(e)The streaming arrangement results in the non-cash consideration recognised as part of revenue for the streaming
arrangement. Refer to note 29 for further information.
(f)The realised effective portion of the hedge-accounted gold derivatives was impacted by the average gold market spot
price of R1 644 902/kg (2024R1 249 344/kg) (2023: R1 045 527/kg) during the 2025 financial year compared to the
average forward price of matured contracts of R1 306 033/kg (2024: R1 134 735/kg) (2023: R1 028 764/kg). Refer to note

5Cost of sales continued
(a)Production costs continued
Production costs increased by R4 232 million (10.9% year on year) during the 2025 year. These costs increased mainly
due to above-inflation increases on costs including labour, contractors, consumables and electricity. The royalty expense
increased due to a higher rate being applied as a result of higher profits, as well as the increased revenue base to which it
is applied. The change in inventory for the year increased production costs by R50 million due to lower gold stock
quantities on hand as at 30 June 2025.
Production costs increased by R4 057 million (12.0% year on year) during 2024. These costs increased mainly due to
inflationary pressures on costs including labour, contractors and electricity. Labour costs were also impacted by bonuses
related to higher production. The royalty tax increased due to a higher rate being applied as a result of higher profits, as
well as the increased revenue base to which it is applied. A decrease in the stripping activities of Hidden Valley’s stage 7
also impacted the total, resulting in a lower credit to production costs. The overall increase in production costs was offset
by a change in inventory as a result of higher gold stock volume in the South African operations, together with a higher
cost per kilogram attributable to the gold stock at Hidden Valley.
Production costs, analysed by nature, consist of the following:

(b)The increased depreciation for the 2025 year is mainly attributable to higher production at Hidden Valley, increasing
depreciation by R230 million year on year. Furthermore, assets brought into use on the completion of phase 1 of the
Kareerand TSF Extension project at the Mine Waste Solutions operation contributed a R102 million increase. These
increases were offset by a decrease for Mponeng, where the depreciation decreased by R149 million year on year. This
decrease stemmed from Mponeng’s increased reserve tonnes, which is the base for the depreciation calculation in terms
of the units-of-production method.
The increased depreciation for the 2024 year was mainly due to higher production at the Hidden Valley and Kalgold
operations, primarily for stripping activities, with an increase of R535 million year on year. A further increase related to
assets brought into use during the 2024 year, in addition to the impact of the increased production and the year-on-year
change in the reserve tonnes which is used to calculate depreciation based on the units-of-production method.
(c)For the assumptions used to calculate the rehabilitation costs, refer to note 24. This expense includes the change in
estimate for the rehabilitation provision where an asset no longer exists as well as costs related to the rehabilitation
process. For 2025, R82 million (2024: R92 million) (2023: R90 million) was spent on rehabilitation in South Africa. Refer to
note 24.
(d)Harmony offered voluntary severance packages to employees to address over-complement labour and improve
redundancies following the approval of the 2025 business plan in August 2024. The costs in 2023 were attributable to the
voluntary severance packages that were taken up following the disaggregation of the Tshepong Operations into Tshepong
North and Tshepong South and the closure of Bambanani in June 2022.
(e)Refer to note 34 for details on the share-based payment schemes implemented by the group.
(f)Management performed an assessment for indicators of impairment as well as indicators of reversal of previously
recorded impairment losses in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Specific circumstances surrounding each of the
individual CGUs were considered in this assessment in order to identify significant changes in the current financial year.
        The Joel, Target 1, Masimong, Kusasalethu, Tshepong South and Kalgold CGUs experienced operational issues during the
year ended 30 June 2025. Additionally, there were adverse changes to Target 1's LOM plan. These operational issues and
the changes in the LOM plan of Target 1 were considered to be indicators of potential impairment and therefore an
impairment assessment was performed for these CGUs.
For the 2024 financial year, the Target 1 and Doornkop CGUs experienced operational issues. Additionally, there were
significant adverse changes to Doornkop's LOM plan. These issues and changes were considered to be indicators of
potential impairment and therefore an impairment assessment was performed for the Target 1 and Doornkop CGUs.

(f)Impairment of assets continued
Subsequent to 30 June 2024, management received information relating to the preliminary results of the exploration
drilling programme conducted for Target North. These preliminary results indicated that a decrease of the mineral
resource estimation attributable to Target North is likely. The decrease in the attributable ounces indicated by the
preliminary results constitutes an indication of impairment. Even though the information was received after the reporting
date, it has been assessed to be an adjusting event in terms of IAS 10, Events after the Reporting Date, as it provides
more reliable information of circumstances that already existed as at 30 June 2024. Therefore an impairment assessment
was also performed for Target North in 2024.
For the 2023 financial year, impairment assessments were performed for the Target 1, Kalgold and Kusasalethu CGUs as
a result of the operational issues experienced.
The recoverable amounts for the CGUs tested were determined on a fair value less cost to sell basis using assumptions
in the discounted cash flow models and attributable resource values. These are fair value measurements classified as
level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Where CGUs had previously been impaired, management considered indicators of whether the impairment loss (or the
contributors to the previously recognised impairment loss) no longer exists or might have decreased. Management
considered general and specific factors for each CGU and concluded that although overall the gold price had improved
from the time that the impairment losses had been recognised, the specific circumstances that led to the original
impairments had not reversed. Furthermore, the service potential of the asset has not increased. Management therefore
deemed it appropriate for no reversal of previously recognised impairment losses to be recorded for the year ended 30
June 2025. There was no reversal of impairment for the 2024 and 2023 financial years. Refer to note 14 for further
information.
Based on the impairment tests performed, no impairments were recorded for the 2025 and 2023 financial years. For the
2024 financial year, an impairment of property, plant and equipment was recorded for Target North of R2 793 million.
The recoverable amount of Target North as at 30 June 2024 was R888 million. Target North is a greenfields exploration
project. The impairment was as a result of information received during August 2024 by management relating to the
preliminary results of the exploration drilling programme conducted. These preliminary results indicated a decrease in the
mineral resource estimation. The mineral resource estimate used to determine the recoverable amount of Target North
changed from the previous estimate of 56.4 million resource ounces, consisting of 22 million indicated resources and
34.4 million inferred resources, to the current mineral resource estimate of 13.8 million ounces of inferred resources. The
gold resource multiple price in US dollar terms was unchanged from previous assessments. Any reasonable possible
changes to the unobservable inputs of the mineral resource estimate for Target North would have resulted in immaterial
changes.

(a)The gain in 2025 and 2024 was predominantly caused by favourable translations on US dollar loan balances. The
favourable translations on US dollar loans are attributable to the Rand strengthening against the US dollar, evidenced by a
closing exchange rate of R17.75/US$1 (2024: R18.19/US$1) (2023:18.83 /US$1).
The loss in 2023 was predominantly caused by unfavourable translations on US dollar loan balances. The unfavourable
translations on US dollar loans are attributable to the Rand weakening against the US dollar. Also contributing to the loss
for 2023 was the draw down of US$170 million (R2 919 million) during the year for the acquisition of the Eva Copper
Project and other assets.
(b)This relates mainly to the translation of metal trade receivables and cash denominated in a foreign currency to the

9Investment income
Accounting policy
Interest income is recognised on the effective interest method, taking into account the principal outstanding and the effective rate
over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the group. Dividend income is recognised when
the shareholder's right to receive payment is established. This is recognised at the last date of registration.
Cash flows from interest and dividends received are classified under operating activities in the cash flow statement.

11Taxation
Accounting policy
Taxation is made up of current and deferred taxation. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be
paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred taxation is recognised on temporary differences existing at each reporting date between the tax base of all assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts. Substantively enacted tax rates are used to determine future anticipated effective tax rates
which in turn are used in the determination of deferred taxation, except to the extent that deferred tax arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and does not affect the accounting or
taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax is charged to profit or loss, except where the tax relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is recognised in the income statement, except
to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to equity.
The principal temporary differences arise from amortisation and depreciation on property, plant and equipment, provisions,
unutilised tax losses, unutilised capital allowances carried forward and unrealised gains and losses on the gold forward sale
contracts and gold collars sale contracts. Deferred tax assets relating to the carry forward of unutilised tax losses and unutilised
capital allowances are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
unutilised tax losses and unutilised capital allowances can be utilised. The recoverability of these assets is reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted if recovery is no longer probable.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates,
except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The group is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide
provision for income taxes due to the complexity of legislation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the
ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome is different from the
amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in
which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled. When different tax rates apply to different levels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the average tax rates that are expected to apply to the taxable profit (tax loss) of the periods in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. At the group’s South African operations, such average tax rates are
directly impacted by the profitability of the relevant mine. The deferred tax rate is therefore based on the current estimate of
future profitability of an operation when temporary differences will reverse, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted at the balance sheet date. The future profitability of each mine, in turn, is determined by reference to the life-of-mine
(LoM) plan for that operation. The LoM plan is influenced by factors as disclosed in note 14, which may differ from one year to
the next and normally result in the deferred tax rate changing from one year to the next.
Management has to exercise judgement with regard to deferred tax assets. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is assessed
with reference to the current estimate of future profitability of the relevant legal entity’s operations. Where it is not probable that
future taxable income may flow against which these assets can be offset, the deferred tax assets are not recognised.
The taxation expense for the year is as follows:

(a)Mining tax on gold mining taxable income in South Africa is determined according to a formula, based on the taxable
income from mining operations. 5% of total revenue is exempt from taxation, while the remainder is taxable at a higher
rate (up to a maximum of 33%) than non-mining income (27%) as a result of applying the gold mining formula. Mining and
non-mining income of Australian and PNG entities are taxed at a standard rate of 30%.
All qualifying mining capital expenditure is deducted from taxable mining income to the extent that it does not result in an
assessed loss. Accounting depreciation is eliminated when calculating the South African mining taxable income. Excess
capital expenditure is carried forward as unredeemed capital to be claimed from future mining taxable income. The group
has several tax paying entities in South Africa. In terms of the mining ring-fencing application, each ring-fenced mine is
treated separately and deductions can normally only be utilised against mining income generated from the relevant ring-
fenced mine.
The increased mining tax expense is mainly attributable to the increased gold price realised, resulting in a significant
increase in the profitability of the group's operations. Additionally, the increase for Golden Core Trade and Invest
(Proprietary) Limited, the legal entity which owns the Mponeng operation, was due to higher quantities of gold sold.

The mining tax rate remained unchanged at 33% for the 2025, 2024 and 2023 financial years. Additionally, there is an
annual limitation of assessed loss utilisation to 80% of taxable income applicable for the 2025, 2024 and 2023 financial
years.
(b)Non-mining taxable income of mining companies and the taxable income for non-mining companies are taxed at the
statutory corporate rate of 27%. The expense for the 2025 and 2024 financial years relate mainly to non-mining tax on
interest income received in Harmony Company.
The non-mining tax rate and statutory corporate rate remained unchanged at 27% for the 2025, 2024 and 2023 financial
years. Additionally, there is an annual limitation of assessed loss utilisation to 80% of taxable income applicable for the
2025, 2024 and 2023 financial years.
(c)The deferred tax rate used to calculate deferred tax is based on the current estimate of future profitability when temporary
differences will reverse based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Depending on
the profitability of the operations, the deferred tax rate can consequently be significantly different from year to year.
Following the completion of the annual life-of-mine plans, management revised the weighted average deferred tax rates
for all the South African operations. The higher gold price assumptions used resulted in an increase in the estimated
profitability and consequently higher rates than in the prior year for all the subsidiaries. Refer to note 14 for assumptions
used.
Changes to the deferred income tax rates were significant for the following entities:

These changes, together with changes in the temporary differences, had the following impacts:
Increase of temporary differences related to the carrying value of property, plant and equipment resulted in an increase
of R1 079 million in the deferred tax expense (2024: R510 million) (2023: R377 million)
Unwinding of temporary differences related to the utilisation of unredeemed capital expenditure and assessed loss
balances resulted in an increase of R167 million in the deferred tax expense (2024: R74 million) (2023: R169 million)
and R17 million (2024: R120 million) (2023: R9 million) in the deferred tax expense, respectively
The change in deferred tax rates of Mponeng, applied to balances excluding hedge accounted derivatives, resulted in a
increase in the deferred tax expense to the amount of R329 million (2024: R379 million decrease)
(2023: R144 million increase)
The change in deferred tax rates of the remaining legal entities in the group, applied to balances excluding hedge
accounted derivatives, resulted in an increase in the deferred tax expense to the amount of R805 million
(2024: R239 million) (2023: R444 million).

(d)The Harmony group is within the scope of the Pillar Two model rules established by the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD). Harmony is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its Pillar Two
effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. Harmony has applied the exemption to recognising and
disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Harmony operates in the
South African, Australian and Papua New Guinea tax jurisdictions. Legislation addressing Pillar Two income tax laws has
been passed and implemented by the governments of South Africa and Australia for an implementation date for years of
assessment beginning on or after 1 January 2024. No announcements regarding Pillar Two income tax laws have been
made by the Papua New Guinean government.
Harmony is therefore subject to Pillar Two income tax laws in the South African and Australian jurisdictions for the 2025
financial year and onwards. Based on the assessment performed and application of the available transitional safe
harbours for the South African jurisdiction, it is assessed that none of Harmony’s profits in this jurisdiction would be at risk
of being subject to Pillar Two income taxes. For the Australian jurisdiction, the detailed assessment performed determined
an effective tax rate that exceeds 15%, resulting in no Pillar Two top-up taxes being payable for this jurisdiction.

Diluted earnings per share
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all
potential dilutive ordinary shares as a result of share options granted to employees under the share option schemes in issue. A
calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, determined as the
average annual market share price of the company's shares, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to
the outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would
have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares in 2024 was as a result of the significant increase in the
Harmony share price during the year. This impacted the base as well as the percentage applied to it to determine the
bonus element. As a result, there were a larger number of dilutive shares across all active shares schemes, with the
exception of the new ESOP scheme, which were anti-dilutive. This, combined with the 2023 deferred share plan
implemented in September 2023, resulted in an increase in the diluted shares. The inclusion of the share options as
potential ordinary shares had a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

13Acquisitions and business combinations
Acquisition of MAC Copper
On 27 May 2025, Harmony announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire, through its wholly owned
Australian subsidiary Harmony Gold (Australia) Pty Limited, 100% of the securities in MAC Copper Limited (MAC Copper). MAC
Copper has a 100% interest in the CSA Copper Mine (CSA), its sole asset, which is located in the Cobar Region of New South
Wales, Australia. The acquisition supports Harmony’s strategic objective of transitioning into a low-cost, global gold and copper
mining company.
Upon completion of the transaction, the following obligations of MAC Copper will be assumed by Harmony:
The silver purchase agreement (silver stream) with OR Royalties Inc. (OR Royalties) pursuant to which OR Royalties receives
refined silver equal to 100% of the payable silver production from CSA and makes ongoing payments equal to 4% of the spot
silver price per ounce at the time of delivery
The copper purchase agreement (copper stream) with OR Royalties pursuant to which OR Royalties receives refined copper
equal to 2.25% to 4.875% of the payable copper production from CSA, which amounts may be reduced through the exercise
of a buy-down option, with OR Royalties making ongoing payments equal to 4% of the spot copper price per tonne at the time
of delivery
The royalty deed with Glencore Operations Australia (Pty) Limited (Glencore) pursuant to which Glencore is entitled to a 1.5%
net smelter return royalty over the life of the CSA mine and
The sale and purchase agreement between MAC and Glencore relating to US$150 million of contingent payments, where a
once-off payment of US$75 million is due in the event that the copper price averages more than US$4.25/lb for 18 continuous
months at any stage during the life of the CSA mine and a further once-off payment of US$75 million in the event that the
copper price averages more than US$4.50/lb for 24 continuous months during the life of the CSA mine.
The consideration for the transaction is a cash payment of US$12.25 per MAC Copper share, amounting to US$1.01 billion
(approximately R17.90 billion as at 30 June 2025).
Effective date
The last condition precedent for the transaction was fulfilled during October 2025, resulting in an acquisition date of
24 October 2025.
Accounting considerations
Harmony has performed an initial assessment of the assets acquired and has determined that they meet the definition of a
business per IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As the effective date of the transaction coincided with the date the consolidated
financial statements for the 2025 financial year were authorised, the initial accounting and related disclosures of the fair values of
identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resultant goodwill or gain on bargain purchase has yet to be
determined. Management will begin with a purchase price allocation in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 for the
business combination during Q2FY26. The process is expected to take several months to complete.
Funding of acquisition
Harmony intends to fund the transaction with a US$1.25 billion bridge facility (refer to note 30 for further detail) together with
existing cash reserves. The loan origination fees of R197 million related to the bridge facility were capitalised during the year.
These are presented as part of prepayments in note 18.
Acquisition-related costs
In anticipation of the transaction. Harmony has incurred various costs directly attributable to the acquisition process. The total of
R40 million for acquisition-related costs for the year ended 30 June 2025 relates to advisory fees. Acquisition-related costs
continued to be incurred after 30 June 2025 up until the acquisition date of 24 October 2025 and will be expensed in the 2026
financial year. Management considers the disclosure of these amounts in the 2025 consolidated financial statements
impracticable due to the timing of the acquisition and the information available at the reporting date.

Acquisition of MAC Copper continued
Performance of acquired operation
For the year ended 30 June 2025, the operation acquired did not contribute to the group revenue and net profit for the year as
the transaction was completed after the reporting date. Should the acquisition have occurred on 1 July 2024, the group’s
consolidated revenue and net profit would have been R79 738 million and R13 528 million respectively.
The following information was used to determine the revenue and net loss for the acquired operation for the period 1 July 2024
to 30 June 2025:
1 July 2024 to 31 December 2024: The revenue and net loss in US$ terms per the FY24 audited financial statements of MAC
Copper was used, after deducting the revenue and net loss in US$ terms related to the six-month period of 1 January 2024 to
30 June 2024, as disclosed in the reviewed financial statements of MAC Copper for that period
1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025: The revenue and net loss in US$ terms per the reviewed financial statements of MAC
Copper for the period ended 30 June 2025 was used
The revenue and net loss in US$ terms for the period of 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 as determined above was translated
using the average Rand/US$ exchange rate of R18.15/US$.
Acquisition of Eva Copper
On 6 October 2022, Harmony announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the entity which owns 100% of the
Eva Copper Project and a package of regional exploration tenements from Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (collectively
Eva Copper). The acquisition is in line with the group's strategic objective of transitioning into a low-cost gold and copper mining
company. Diversifying into copper enables Harmony to participate in the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
The last condition precedent for the acquisition was fulfilled during December 2022, resulting in an acquisition date of
16 December 2022. Based on management's assessment, the transaction met the definition of a business combination as
defined by IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This is based on the feasibility study, mine development plan and organised
workforce acquired constituting substantive processes which significantly contributes to the ability to generate outputs.
Management also opted to not apply the optional concentration test as per IFRS 3.
The Eva Copper Project was identified as a cash generating unit (CGU).
Consideration transferred
Consideration for the transaction amounted to a cash payment of R2 996 million (US$170 million), paid during December 2022,
and contingent consideration subject to the following criteria:
A maximum of US$30 million payable via a 10% sharing of net incremental revenue above US$3.80/Ib Cu (excess payment)
A maximum US$30 million payable on a new copper resource discovered and declared within the acquired tenements,
calculated using a resource multiple of US$0.03/Ib Cu (new resource payment).
These criteria are applicable for the entire life of the operation until the maximum payments are reached.
As at 16 December 2022, the contingent consideration was valued at R169 million by using a probability weighted method for
the new resource payment and a discounted cash flow valuation for the excess payment, both discounted at a post-tax nominal
rate of 12.9%. All other assumptions applied in the valuation are consistent with those used in the valuation of identified assets
acquired and liabilities assumed (refer below). The fair value calculated for the contingent consideration is level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The remeasurement of the liability is presented separately in the group income
statement. Refer to note 27 for the measurement of the liability.
The amount disclosed in the cash flow statement for cash paid for the acquisition of Eva Copper is equal to the cash
consideration paid of R2 996 million.
Acquisition and integration costs
The total of R214 million for acquisition-related costs for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 relates to various costs directly
attributable to the acquisition process. These costs include professional services fees and Australian stamp duty costs paid.

Mining assets
Accounting policy
Mining assets, including mine development costs and mine plant facilities, are initially recorded at cost, whereafter they are
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Costs include expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably.
The net assets of operations placed on care and maintenance are impaired to their recoverable amount. Expenditure on the care
and maintenance of these operations is charged against income, as incurred. Mineral and surface use rights represent mineral
and surface use rights for parcels of land, both owned and not owned by the group.
Mineral and surface rights include acquired mineral use rights in production, development and exploration phase properties. The
amount capitalised related to a mineral and surface right, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business
combination, is the fair value at acquisition.
The group’s mineral use rights are enforceable regardless of whether proved or probable reserves have been established. In
certain limited situations, the nature of use changes from an exploration right to a mining right upon the establishment of proved
and probable reserves. The group has the ability and intent to renew mineral use rights where the existing term is not sufficient
to recover all identified and valued proved and probable reserves and/or undeveloped mineral interests.
Depreciation
Depreciation of mining assets is computed principally by the units-of-production method over life-of-mine based on estimated
quantities of economically recoverable proved and probable reserves, which can be recovered in future from known mineral
deposits.
Mineral rights associated with production phase mineral interests are amortised over the life-of-mine using the units-of-
production method in order to match the amortisation with the expected underlying future cash flows.
Impairment
Testing for impairment is done in terms of the group policy as discussed in note 2.5.
Scrapping of assets
Where significant adverse changes have taken place relating to the useful life of an asset, that asset is tested for impairment in
terms of the group policy as discussed in note 2.5. Whether or not an impairment is recognised, it is then necessary to review
the useful lives and residual values of the assets within the CGU – this is reviewed at least annually. Where necessary, the
useful lives and residual values of the individual assets are revised.
Where the useful life of an asset is nil as a result of no future economic benefit expected from the use or disposal of that asset, it
is necessary to derecognise the asset. The loss arising from the derecognition is included in profit or loss in the period in which
the asset was derecognised.
Stripping activities
The removal of overburden and other mine waste materials is often necessary during the initial development of an opencast
mine site, in order to access the mineral ore deposit. The directly attributable cost of this activity is capitalised in full within mining
assets under construction, until the point at which the mine is considered to be capable of commercial production. The removal
of waste material after the point at which a mine is capable of commercial production is referred to as production stripping.
When the waste removal activity improves access to ore extracted in the current period, the costs of production stripping are
charged to the income statement as operating costs in accordance with the principles of IAS 2 Inventories.
Where production stripping activity both produces inventory and improves access to ore in future periods the associated costs of
waste removal are allocated between the two elements. The portion which benefits future ore extraction is capitalised within
stripping and development capital expenditure. If the amount to be capitalised cannot be specifically identified, it is determined
based on the volume of waste extracted compared to expected volume for the identified component of the orebody. Components
are specific volumes of a mine’s orebody that are determined by reference to the life-of-mine plan.
In certain instances significant levels of waste removal may occur during the production phase with little or no associated
production. The cost of this waste removal is capitalised in full.
All amounts capitalised in respect of waste removal are depreciated using the units-of-production method based on proved and
probable ore reserves of the component of the orebody to which they relate.
The effects of changes to the life-of-mine plan on the expected cost of waste removal or remaining reserves for a component are
accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – Gold Mineral Reserves and Resources
Gold mineral reserves and resources are estimates of the amount of ounces that can be economically and legally extracted from
the group’s properties. In order to calculate the gold mineral reserves and resources, estimates and assumptions are required
about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates,
production costs, commodity prices and exchange rates. Estimating the quantities and/or grade of the reserves and resources
requires the size, shape and depth of the orebodies to be determined by analysing geological data such as the logging and
assaying of drill samples. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgements and calculations to interpret the
data.
Because the economic assumptions used to estimate the gold mineral reserves and resources change from year to year, and
because additional geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of the mineral reserves and
resources may change from year to year.
Changes in the reserves and resources may affect the group’s financial results and financial position in a number of ways,
including:
Asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated cash flows
Scrapping of assets to be recorded in the income statement following the derecognition of assets as no future economic
benefit expected
Depreciation and amortisation charged in the income statement may change as they are calculated on the units-of-production
method
Environmental provisions may change as the timing and/or cost of these activities may be affected by the change in mineral
reserves
Useful life and residual values may be affected by the change in mineral reserves.
At the end of each financial year, the estimate of proved and probable gold mineral reserves and resources is updated.
Depreciation of mining assets is prospectively adjusted, based on these changes.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements – production start date
Various relevant criteria are considered in order to assess when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use
and moves into the production phase. Some of the criteria would include but are not limited to the following:
The level of capital expenditure compared to the total project cost estimates
The ability to produce gold in a saleable form (where more than an insignificant amount of gold has been produced)
The ability to sustain the ongoing production of gold.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements – stripping activities
The determination of the volume of waste extracted and the expected volume for the identified component of the orebody is
dependent on an individual mine’s design and life-of-mine plan and therefore changes to the design or life-of-mine plan will result
in changes to these estimates. Identification of the components of a mine’s orebody is made by reference to the life-of-mine
plan. The assessment depends on a range of factors including each mine’s specific operational features and materiality.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements – impairment of assets
The recoverable amount of mining assets is generally determined utilising real discounted future cash flows (post tax). No
material difference in recoverable amounts is expected should real future cash flows be discounted on a pre-tax basis.
Management also considers such factors as the quality of the individual orebody, market risk, asset-specific risks and country
risk in determining the fair value.
Key assumptions for the calculations of the mining assets’ recoverable amounts are the commodity prices, resource values,
market discount rates, costs to sell, exchange rates and the annual life-of-mine plans. In determining the commodity prices and
resource values to be used, management assesses the views of several reputable institutions on commodity prices and based
on this, derives the commodity prices and resource values.
The life-of-mine plans are based on the proved and probable reserves as included in the Reserve Declaration, which are
determined in terms of SAMREC, as well as resources where management has high confidence in the orebody and economical
recovery of gold, based on historic and similar geological experience.

The recoverable amount of mining assets is determined utilising real discounted future cash flows. Certain CGUs’ recoverable
amounts included resource multiple valuations in the case of undeveloped properties and certain resource bases. In 2025 and
2023, the CGUs to which the resource bases are attributed to were not tested for impairment, nor were the undeveloped
properties. For the 2024 financial year, the recoverable amounts of Target North and Doornkop's Kimberley reef have been
determined using the resource multiple valuations. Refer to note 5 for more information regarding CGUs tested for impairment.
One of the most significant assumptions that influence the group's operations' life-of-mine plans, and therefore the impairment
assessment, is the expected commodity prices. Management continues to differentiate between short-, medium- and long-term
assumptions used in the models. The long-term price was determined as part of the annual budgeting process and is used as
the cut-off price for calculating Mineral Reserves included in the declaration of Mineral Reserves and Resources in terms of
SAMREC.
The discounted cash flow models include the estimated production cost and carbon tax savings arising from the rollout of
Harmony's renewable energy programme, as part of its greater decarbonisation strategy.
During the current year, post-tax real discount rates ranging between 11.20% (2023: 11.69%) and 12.43% (2023: 13.15%) were
used to determine the recoverable amounts of the CGUs tested. In 2024, the post-tax real discount rates of 10.69% and 12.15%
were used to determine the recoverable amounts for the Doornkop and Target 1 CGUs, respectively. No material difference in
recoverable amounts is expected should future cash flows be discounted on a pre-tax basis. Refer to note 5 for more information
regarding CGUs tested for impairment.
Cash flows used in the impairment calculations are based on life-of-mine plans which exceed five years for the majority of the
mines. Cash flows from potential projects, life-of-mine extensions and residual ounces can also be included in the impairment
assessment where deemed appropriate. An additional risk premium is added to the post-tax real discount rates in these
instances.
Should management’s estimate of the future not reflect actual events, further impairments may be identified.

Sensitivity analysis – impairment of assets
Commodity prices
One of the most significant assumptions that influence the LOM plans and therefore impairment assessments is the expected
commodity prices. Management determined a 10.8% decrease (2024: 11.9%) and 29.1% increase (2024: 11.9% ) in gold price
assumptions as reasonably possible changes. In 2025, management determined a reasonably possible change in gold prices
based on determining reasonably possible adjusted long-term US$ gold price assumptions using the standard deviation of
market analysts' forecasted long-term US$ gold price assumptions. These reasonably possible adjusted long-term US$ gold
price forecasts was then compared to Harmony's long-term US$ gold price assumption. In 2024, management determined a
reasonably possible change in gold price assumptions based on the standard deviation of market analysts' forecasted long-term
gold price assumptions.
The 29.1% increase in the gold price assumptions would have resulted in no impairments being recorded. A 10.8% decrease in
the gold price assumptions (with all other variables held constant and not taking any actions, such as stopping capital projects,
into account) would have resulted in the following post-tax impairments being recorded as at 30 June 2025:

In addition to the expected commodity prices in 2025, the production profiles of Target 1 and Tshepong South have also been
assessed as sensitive assumptions that influences the LOM plans, and therefore the impairment assessments of these CGUs.
For Target 1, the recoverable amount was determined as R4 212 million as at 30 June 2025. Management determined that
should the production profile of Target 1 decrease by 8.6% (with all other variables held constant), this would result in the
recoverable amount being equal to the post-tax carrying amount of R2 065 million as at 30 June 2025.
For Tshepong South, the recoverable amount was determined as R3 314 million as at 30 June 2025. Management determined
that should the production profile of Tshepong South decrease by 5.3% (with all other variables held constant), this would result
in the recoverable amount being equal to the post-tax carrying amount of R2 343 million as at 30 June 2025.
The production profiles of the other CGUs tested for impairment are not considered to be sensitive assumptions. This is based
on the fact that a 15.0% decrease in these production profiles (with all other variables held constant) would not result in any
impairments being recognised.

Mining assets under construction
Accounting policy
At the group’s surface mines, when it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of
establishing proved and probable reserves, costs incurred to develop the property are capitalised as incurred until the mine is
considered to have moved into the production phase. These costs include costs to further delineate the orebody and remove
overburden to initially expose the orebody.
At the group’s underground mines, all costs incurred to develop the property, including costs to access specific ore blocks or
other areas of the underground mine, are capitalised to the extent that such costs will provide future economic benefits. These
costs include the cost of shaft sinking and access, the costs of building access ways, lateral development, drift development,
ramps, box cuts and other infrastructure development.
Where a depreciable asset is used in the construction or extension of a mine, the depreciation is capitalised against the mine’s
cost.
Mineral interests associated with development and exploration phase mineral interests are not amortised until such time as the
underlying property is converted to the production stage.
Capitalisation of pre-production costs ceases when commercial levels of production are reached. Commercial levels of
production are discussed under “production start date” above.

Eva Copper developments
During the 2025 year, significant progress was made on the Eva Copper Project final feasibility study, mineral resource
development and early works execution. The feasibility study is in its final phase, with front end engineering and design
progressing in parallel. The costs capitalised for the advanced early works construction for the 2025 year amounted to
R747 million.
In recognition of its significance, Eva Copper was declared a Prescribed Project by the Queensland Government in March 2024.
The application to amend the Project’s existing Environmental Authority and align the project’s approvals with the outcomes of
the final feasibility study has been accepted and is under active assessment by the Queensland Department of the Environment,
Tourism, Science and Innovation.
Progress continues to be made on preliminary site works, supported by a conditional grant from the Queensland Government to
fund preparatory activities for the project. During February 2025, the board approved advanced early work construction for the
project, including front end engineering and design activities and early-phase bulk earthworks. These expenditures have been
capitalised as future economic benefits are expected given the advanced stage of the final feasibility study and the ongoing
permitting process, which is being supported by the relevant authorities.
Upon completion of the final feasibility study, Harmony’s board will consider a final investment decision. 
Wafi-Golpu development
Capitalisation of certain project expenses on Wafi-Golpu was halted from 1 July 2019 following delays in the permitting of the
project (refer to note 20). All ongoing expenses since were for holding purposes and did not result in future economic benefits.
These have been included in exploration expenditure in the income statement and amounted to R23 million (2024: R37 million)
for the year.
Undeveloped properties
Accounting policy
Undeveloped properties are initially recognised at cost, which is generally based on the fair value of resources obtained through
acquisitions. The carrying values of these properties are tested for impairment or reversal of previously recognised impairment
when an indicator is identified. Once development commences, these properties are transferred to mining assets and accounted
for in accordance with the related accounting policy.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements – exploration and evaluation assets
The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is assessed when indicators for impairment or reversal of previously
recognised impairment has been identified. The balances assessed include undeveloped properties and assets under
construction. Significant judgement is required as to whether an area of activity is to be carried forward on the balance sheet, or
written off through the identification of areas of activity which have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, where there is no continuing significant activity plan in
relation to the area.

Accounting policyfinancial assets (applicable to notes 15, 16, 17 and 18)
Financial assets are initially recognised when the group becomes a party to their contractual arrangements. On initial
recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
Amortised cost
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
A financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost if it is held within the business model whose objective is to hold
assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The group measures a financial asset initially at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL
are expensed. The subsequent measurement of financial assets is discussed below.
Financial asset category
Description
Debt instruments at
amortised cost
Financial assets at amortised cost consist of restricted cash, certain restricted investments,
loans, trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in investment income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or
loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are
presented in other operating expenses in the income statement.
Debt instruments at fair
value through profit or loss
Equity-linked investments which are held to meet rehabilitation liabilities are classified as
FVTPL. Debt instruments where the contractual cash flows fail to meet the solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) criteria are also classified as FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt
investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss and
presented net within investment income in the period in which it arises. On derecognition of a
financial asset, the difference between the proceeds received or receivable and the carrying
amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
Equity instruments
designated at fair value
through OCI
The group's equity investments are designated as FVTOCI. The group subsequently
measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group's management has elected to
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent
reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the
investment. Dividends from such investments are recognised when the group’s right to
receive payments is established either in profit or loss as other income or as a deduction
against the asset if the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment. Residual values in OCI are reclassified to retained earnings on derecognition of
the related FVTOCI instruments.
Impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost are assessed using the forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL)
approach. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash
shortfalls (ie the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the
group expects to receive). At each reporting date, the group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are
credit impaired. A financial asset is ‘‘credit impaired’’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Trade receivable loss allowances are measured at an amount equal to
lifetime ECLs. Loss allowances are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

Accounting policy
Contributions are made to the group's environmental trust funds, created in accordance with statutory requirements, to fund the
estimated cost of pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure at the end of the life of the group's mines. The trusts are
consolidated into the group as the group exercises control of the trusts. The measurement of the investments held by the trust
funds is dependent on their classification under financial assets. Income received and gains are treated in accordance with these
classifications. The equity-linked deposits and investment in unit trusts are classified and measured at fair value through profit or
loss, while the equity investments are classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest-
bearing short-term investments as well as investments in government bonds are classified and measured as debt instruments at
amortised cost.

The environmental trust funds are irrevocable trusts under the group's control. Contributions to the trusts are invested in various
instruments which include the following: listed equity securities, unit trusts, government bonds, interest-bearing short-term and
medium-term cash investments and medium-term equity-linked deposits. The equity-linked deposits are issued by commercial
banks that provide guaranteed interest and additional interest or growth linked to the growth of the Top 40 index of the JSE.
These investments provide for the estimated cost of rehabilitation at the end of the life of the group's mines. Income earned on
the investments is retained in the funds and reinvested.

The Social Trust Fund
The Social Trust Fund is an irrevocable trust under the group's control. The purpose of the trust is to fund the social plan to
reduce the negative effects of restructuring on the group's workforce, to put measures in place to ensure that the technical and
life skills of the group's workforce are developed and to develop the group's workforce in such a manner as to avoid or minimise
the effect of job losses and a decline in employment through turnaround or redeployment strategies.
The Social Trust Fund investment comprises a unit trust portfolio that is exposed to the fair value changes in the equity market
and is classified as a fair value through profit or loss investment.

(a)A loan of R116 million (2024: R116 million) owed by Pamodzi Gold Limited (Pamodzi) which was placed into liquidation
during 2009, was provided for in full. Harmony is a concurrent creditor in the Pamodzi Orkney liquidation.
(b)During 2021, Harmony advanced R264 million to the ARM Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Trust (the ARM BBEE
Trust), a shareholder of African Rainbow Minerals Limited (ARM), after the restructuring of the original loan advanced in
2016. The ARM BBEE Trust is controlled and consolidated by ARM, who holds 10.66% of Harmony's shares at
30 June 2025. Harmony is a trustee of the ARM BBEE Trust. The loan under the revised loan agreement is interest-free
and is receivable on the maturity of the loan on 30 June 2035. The loan is unsubordinated and unsecured.
The loan does not meet the requirements for amortised cost measurement as it fails the solely payments of principal and
interest test and was therefore classified as fair value through profit and loss (refer to the fair value determination section
in note 37 for detail). The group determined that the contractual terms include exposure to risk and volatility that is
inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement. In making this assessment the group considered contingent events that
would change the amount and timing of cash flows and potential limits on the group's claim to cash flows from specified
assets (eg non-recourse asset arrangements).
During the 2025 financial year, repayments of R28 million (2024: R42 million) were received on the loan.

Hedge accounting
During April 2024, Harmony added gold zero cost collar (gold collar) hedging contracts to the gold forward sale derivative
contracts to hedge the risk of lower gold prices. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to the majority of these contracts,
resulting in the effective portion of the unrealised gains and losses being recorded in other comprehensive income (other
reserves – refer to note 23). Refer to note 37 for a summary of the risk management strategy applied and the balances relating
to designated hedging instruments as at reporting date.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness
assessments. The group enters into gold forward and gold zero cost collar contracts that have similar terms as the hedged item,
such as notional amount, maturity date and reference gold spot price thereby ensuring that an economic relationship exists
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item and resulting in a hedge ratio of 1:1. Potential sources of hedge
ineffectiveness include counterparty and own credit risk, day one gains and losses, a mismatch in the timing of the derivative and
underlying gold sale maturities, location differential and the refining margin. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by comparing the
change in the expected cash flows from a forward sale contract/zero cost collar contract versus the sale of an equivalent quantity
of gold in the open market. Ineffectiveness results when the changes in the fair values in the hedging instruments exceed the fair
value changes in the hedged item. A negligible amount of hedge ineffectiveness was experienced in the years presented.

19Investments in associates
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The investments in associates are evaluated for impairment by comparing the entire carrying value of the investment (including
loans to associates and preference shares) to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs
to sell. Discounted cash flow models are used to calculate the net present value of the investments. The cash flows in the
models include expected interest and capital payments on loans, dividends, redemption amounts and proceeds on disposal.
(a)Harmony acquired a 32.40% interest in Pamodzi on 27 February 2008, initially valued at R345 million. Pamodzi was listed
on the JSE and had interests in operating gold mines in South Africa. Pamodzi was placed in liquidation in March 2009.
As at 30 June 2025, to the best of our knowledge, the liquidation process has not been concluded. Refer to note 16(a) for
details of the loan and provision for impairment of the loan.
(b)Rand Refinery provides precious metal smelting and refining services in South Africa. Harmony holds a 10.38% share in
Rand Refinery. This investment is a strategic investment for the group as Rand Refinery is the only company that provides
such services in South Africa. Although the group holds less than 20% of the equity shares of Rand Refinery, the group is
able to exercise significant influence by virtue of having a right to appoint a director on the board. Through the 10.38%
shareholding and the right to appoint a director on the board, the investment has been accounted for as an associate.
Rand Refinery has a 31 August financial year-end.
In the current year, a dividend of R52 million (2024: R27 million) was received from Rand Refinery.
The R23 million impairment of Rand Refinery, recognised on 31 December 2024, was as a result of the strategic changes
made by Rand Refinery which negatively impacted on expected dividends and the terminal cash flow value. This
impairment was not reversed at 30 June 2025.
20Investment in joint operations
The group has a 50% interest in certain exploration assets located in the Morobe Province, PNG. Newmont Corporation owns
the remaining 50% interest in these assets. The primary asset in the joint arrangement is the Wafi-Golpu Project. The joint
arrangement is accounted for as a joint operation.
State participation
Under the conditions of the Wafi-Golpu exploration tenements, the PNG government (the State) has reserved the right prior to
the commencement of mining to take up an equitable interest of up to 30% of any mineral discovery within the Wafi-Golpu
tenements. The right is exercisable by the State once only at any time prior to the commencement of mining. If the State
exercises this right, the exercise price is a pro-rata share of the accumulated exploration expenditure. Once the right is
exercised, the State is responsible for its proportionate share of ongoing exploration, project development and operational costs.
The State has indicated its intention to exercise its option in full, however, as at 30 June 2025, the option has not been
exercised.
Permitting
Special Mining Lease
In August 2016, application was made to the Mineral Resources Authority for a Special Mining Lease (SML) under the PNG
Mining Act 1992. The application was subsequently updated and amended in March 2018.
There have been considerable delays in the permitting process. In December 2018 the State of PNG and the project proponents
entered into a memorandum of agreement (MoU) regarding progress towards a Mining Development Contract (MDC). However,
following a judicial review instituted in 2019 by the Governor and Government of Morobe Province, the State withdrew from the
MoU in November 2019.
Meaningful negotiations with the PNG State Negotiating Team only recommenced in the second half of 2022, and in April 2023
the State and the project proponents entered into a Framework Memorandum of Understanding, setting out the key terms and
principles to guide the negotiation and preparation of the MDC and other project agreements. Permitting and other contract
negotiations are ongoing.
Progress to Development
The Wafi-Golpu Project will progress to development only once all project agreements have been executed and the SML and all
other associated tenements and permits are granted.
Any potential future development of the Wafi-Golpu Project is subject to further studies, completion of the remaining statutory
processes, receipt of all necessary or desirable government permissions and approvals, market and operating conditions as well
as approval by the board of directors of the Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture and of both Newmont Corporation and Harmony.
Environment Permit
In July 2018, application was made to the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority for an Environment Permit under
the PNG Environment Act 2000, by the submission under the Act of an Environmental Impact Statement. The Environment
Permit was granted in December 2020.
During March 2021, the Governor and Government of the Morobe Province instituted a judicial review in the Lae National Court
against the grant by the Minister for the Environment of the Environment Permit. The project proponents are not parties to this
proceeding, and the present Governor, who was appointed in September 2022, has stated publicly that he intends to withdraw
the proceedings instituted by his predecessor, however as at 30 June 2025, has not yet done so.

Permitting continued
Environment Permit continued
In December 2022, coastal villagers represented by the Centre for Environmental Law and Community Rights Inc commenced
legal proceedings also seeking judicial review of the grant of the Environment Permit. The project proponents are not parties to
this proceeding, which progressed to substantive hearing on 12 June 2025. Judgment was reserved and the matter was
adjourned to a date to be determined by the judge.
Either of the proceedings, if determined against the State and the Minister for Environment, could result in the setting aside of
the
Environment Permit or the staying of the permitting process or the delay of grant of the SML. Any such event could have a
material adverse impact on the Wafi-Golpu project.
Carrying amount and impairment considerations
The carrying amount of the project amounts to R2.5 billion (2024: R2.8 billion). The majority of the change year on year relates
to foreign exchange translation. There was no indicator of impairment at 30 June 2025 and 2024.
21Inventories
Accounting policy
Inventories, which include finished inventories (includes bullion on hand), work in process, gold in lock-up, ore stockpiles and
consumables, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is assessed at each reporting
date and is determined with reference to relevant market prices.
The cost of finished inventories, work in process and gold in lock-up is determined by reference to production cost, including
amortisation and depreciation at the relevant stage of production. Ore stockpiles are valued at average production cost.
Stockpiles and gold in lock-up are classified as non-current assets where the stockpile's volume exceeds current processing
capacity and where a portion of static gold in lock-up is expected to be recovered more than 12 months after balance sheet date.
Work in process inventories represent materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product.
In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed to process and the projected recoveries at the respective
plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed to process attributable to the source material
coming from the mine or stockpile plus the in-process conversion costs, including the applicable depreciation relating to the
process facility, incurred to that point in the process. Gold-in-process includes dynamic gold in lock-up, which is generally
measured from the plants onwards. Final gold in lock-up is expected to be extracted when plants are demolished at the end of
their useful lives, which is largely dependent on the estimated useful life of the operations feeding the plants.
At the group’s open pit operations, gold-in-process represents production in broken ore form.
Consumables are valued at weighted average cost value after appropriate allowances for slow-moving and redundant items.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Judgement is applied in estimating the provision for stock obsolescence. The provision is recognised on items not considered
critical as a percentage of the value of the inventory, depending on the period elapsed since the inventory was purchased or
issued. Inventory held for longer than five years is written down to zero unless there is sufficient evidence of a recoverable
amount.

Share issues
Share issues relating to employee share options
An additional 2 133 311 (2024: 1 910 916) shares were issued to settle the exercise of share options by employees relating to
Harmony's management share option schemes. During FY24, Harmony implemented a new employee share option scheme
referred to as the Katleho ya Moruo Employee Share Ownership Plan (Katleho ya Moruo ESOP). On 4 April 2024 a total of
12 651 525 shares were issued to the Harmony ESOP Trust as part of the new scheme. These shares have subsequently been
used to facilitate the non-managerial share based payment scheme. Note 34 sets out the details in respect of the share option
schemes.
Convertible preference shares
On 21 February 2024, Harmony issued 2 466 103 convertible preference shares to the Harmony Gold Community Trust. The
convertible preference shares carry a minimum annual preference dividend of R2 per share and are convertible into ordinary
shares on a 1:1 basis after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the shares were issued. The conversion is at the election
of Harmony.

(b)Harmony has entered into gold hedging contracts. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to these contracts, resulting in
the effective portion of the unrealised gains and losses being recorded in other comprehensive income (other reserves).
Changes in time value relating to gold collars has been included in the time value reserve and presented separately from
the changes in intrinsic value of all Harmony’s gold hedging contracts. Refer to note 17 for further information.
The R4 842 million decrease in the total reserve is mainly attributable to the market spot price being higher than the
average locked-in gold forward prices and the average cap rate for the gold collars. Refer to 37 for further details on the
commodity hedging contracts.

(i)The group issues equity-settled instruments to certain qualifying employees under an employee share option
scheme and employee share ownership plan (ESOP) to award shares from the company’s authorised but unissued
ordinary shares. Equity share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant
date and are expensed over the vesting period, based on the group’s estimate of the shares that are expected to
vest. The increase primarily relates to the costing under the new equity-settled plan known as the Katleho ya Moruo
ESOP from 4 April 2024. Refer to note 34 for further details.
(d)The post-retirement benefit obligation was transferred in September 2024 and the related actuarial loss was transferred to
retained earnings. Refer to note 25 for details.
(e)Includes R139 million (2024: R123 million) related to the cumulative fair value movement of Harmony's interest in Rand
Mutual Assurance. Refer to note 16. The remainder relates to investments held by the environmental trusts.
(f)On 15 March 2004, Harmony announced that it had made an off-market cash offer to acquire all the ordinary shares, listed
and unlisted options of Abelle Limited, held by non-controlling interests. The excess of the purchase price of R579 million
over the carrying amount of non-controlling interest acquired, amounting to R381 million, has been accounted for under
other reserves.
(g)On 24 May 2004, the group issued a convertible bond. The amount representing the value of the equity conversion
component is included in other reserves, net of deferred income taxes. The equity conversion component is determined on
the issue of the bonds and was not changed in subsequent periods. The convertible bonds were repaid in 2009.
(h)On 19 March 2010, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited concluded an agreement with African Vanguard Resources
(Proprietary) Limited (AVRD), for the purchase of its 26% share of the mining titles of the Doornkop South Reef. The
original sale of the 26% share in the mining titles was accounted for as an in-substance call option by AVRD over the 26%
mineral right. The agreement to purchase AVRD's 26% interest during the 2010 financial year was therefore considered to
be a repurchase of the option (equity interest). The 26% interest was transferred from AVRD to Harmony in exchange for
Harmony repaying the AVRD Nedbank loan and the issue of 2 162 359 Harmony shares. The difference between the
value of the shares issued of R152 million, the liability to the AVRD and transaction costs, have been taken directly to
equity.

Provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events where it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
The amount recognised as a provision is the net present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at balance sheet date. It is calculated using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The estimate takes into account the associated risks and
uncertainties. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, the provision is reversed.

24Provision for environmental rehabilitation
Accounting policy
Estimated long-term environmental obligations, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the
group’s environmental management plans in compliance with current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements.
Based on disturbances to date, the net present value of expected rehabilitation cost estimates is recognised and provided for in
full in the financial statements. The estimates are reviewed annually and are discounted using a pre-tax risk-free rate that is
adjusted to reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
Annual changes in the provision consist of finance costs relating to the change in the present value of the provision and
inflationary increases in the provision estimate, as well as changes in estimates. The present value of environmental
disturbances created is capitalised to mining assets against an increase in the rehabilitation provision. If a decrease in the
liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognised immediately in the income statement. If the asset
value is increased and there is an indication that the revised carrying value is not recoverable, impairment is assessed in
accordance with the accounting policy dealing with impairments of non-financial assets (refer to note 2.5). Rehabilitation projects
undertaken included in the estimates are charged to the provision as incurred. The cost of ongoing current programmes to
prevent and control pollution is charged against income as incurred. Over time, the liability is increased to reflect an interest
element, and the capitalised cost is depreciated over the life of the related asset.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Significant judgement is applied in estimating the ultimate rehabilitation cost that will be required in future to rehabilitate the
group’s mines, related surface infrastructure and tailings dams. Ultimate cost may significantly differ from current estimates. The

life of mine.
The group’s mining and exploration activities are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations. The group has made,
and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of
such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements.

(a)The change in 2025 is mainly due to the decrease in discount rates which resulted in a significant increase in the net
present value of the liability. In 2024, the majority of the change related to the inclusion of the deepening project for
Mponeng in its life of mine plan. This increased the number of years and together with higher discount rates resulted in a
significant decrease in the net present value of the liability.
The environmental provision for PNG amounts to R1 570 million (2024: R1 446 million) and is unfunded due to regulations in the
operating country.
While the ultimate amount of rehabilitation costs to be incurred in the future is uncertain, the group has estimated that, based on
current environmental and regulatory requirements, the total undiscounted cost for the operations, in current monetary terms, is
as follows:

The group is required to adhere to the National Environmental Act's (NEMA) financial provision requirements. They are also
required to substantively review and align their financial provision in accordance with these regulations during the relevant
transitional period, which has now been extended with no firm date given. The group intends to finance the ultimate rehabilitation
costs from the money invested in environmental trust funds as well as the proceeds on the sale of assets and gold from plant
clean-up at the time of mine closure. The group has guarantees in place, some cash-backed, relating to some of the
environmental liabilities. Refer to notes 15 and 36.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The provision amount was based on estimates of the number of potential claimants, levels of disease progression and
take-up rates. These estimates were informed by historic information, published academic research and professional
opinion. The key assumptions that were made in the determination of the provision amount include:
Silicosis prevalence rates
Estimated settlement per claimant
Benefit take-up rates
Disease progression rates
Timing of cash flows
A discount rate of 8.2% (2024: 9.3%) (2023: 9.5%) was used, based on South African government bonds with similar
terms to the obligation.
Significant judgement is applied in estimating the cost that will be required to settle any future claims. There is uncertainty
with regards to the rate at which potential claims would be reported as well as the benefit take-up rates. Refer to sensitivity
analysis on the key assumptions below. The ultimate cost may differ from current estimates.

(a)Provision for silicosis settlement continued
Harmony and certain of its subsidiaries (Harmony group), together with other mining companies, were named in a class
action suit for silicosis and tuberculosis which was certified by the Johannesburg High Court in May 2016. On 26 July
2019, the Johannesburg High Court approved the settlement of the silicosis and tuberculosis class action suit between the
Occupational Lung Disease Gold Working Group (the Working Group) – representing Gold Fields, African Rainbow
Minerals, Anglo American SA, AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony and Sibanye Stillwater – and lawyers representing affected
mineworkers (settlement agreement). The mandatory three-month period, during which potential beneficiaries could opt
out of the settlement agreement and the audit thereof was completed in December 2019. The Tshiamiso Trust was set up
to oversee the tracking and tracing of class members, process all submitted claims, including the undertaking of benefit
medical examinations, and pay benefits to eligible claimants. A jointly controlled Special Purpose Vehicle has been set up
to act as an agent for the Working Group in relation to certain matters set out in the settlement agreement and trust deed.
Claims will be accepted for a twelve-year period with an effective date of December 2019.
The Working Group paid the legal costs of the claimants’ attorneys and other initial amounts as set out in the settlement
agreement in 2021. On 31 January 2020, the Working Group commenced the payment of their quarterly administration
and benefit contributions to the Tshiamiso Trust to enable the trustees to settle benefits of eligible claimants. Those
payments are revisited as necessary annually, based on activities and claims.
Harmony has provided for the estimated cost of the settlement based on actuarial assessments. A portion of the provision
has been transferred to current liabilities. The nominal amount for Harmony group at 30 June 2025 is R329 million.

(a)The change in estimate relates mainly to a change in the assumptions due to the potential preserved claims, which
resulted in an increase of the estimated obligation as at 30 June 2025. This was offset due to the availability of
actual exit data and an adjustment to the take-up rate.
(b)These payments comprise of the administration and benefit contributions to the Tshiamiso Trust. Harmony had
surplus funds available in the Tshiamiso Trust therefore no further benefit contributions have been made during the
2025 year per instruction of the Tshiamiso Trust.
Sensitivity analysis
Management has considered the information available regarding key assumptions, as well as the uncertainties and term of
the projections, and determined variances for a reasonable (possible) range to apply to the key assumptions. Information
considered included medical data and evidence from the silicosis claim process. Management also considered the
guidance provided by the actuarial specialists as to what could be a reasonably possible change for each item. The impact
of these reasonable possible changes on the assumptions would not have a material impact on the balance.
The ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain, with the number of eligible potential claimants successfully
submitting claims and receiving compensation being uncertain. The provision recorded in the financial statements is
consequently subject to adjustment or reversal in the future.
(b)Retirement benefit obligation
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
An updated actuarial valuation was carried out at the end of each financial year up until the 2024 year. During
September 2024, Harmony entered into an agreement with RMA Life Assurance Company Limited (RMA) to transfer a
once-off amount of R350 million to RMA as a single premium for the transfer of the liability in respect of the medical
promise and medical aid subsidy, and the administration thereof from Harmony to RMA. For 2025, the net liability was
measured at Rnil based on the agreement entered into with RMA. In 2024, the assumptions used to determine the liability
included a discount rate of 12.2%, no increases in employer subsidies (in terms of the agreement), mortality rates
according to the SA 1956/62 mortality table (SA ”a mf” tables) (retirement age of 60) and a medical inflation rate of 9.7%
(2023: discount rate of 13.5%, retirement age of 60 and 10.1% inflation rate). Management determined the discount rate
by assessing South African government bonds with similar terms to the liability. The changes to the discount rate and
medical inflation rate were similar to changes in interest and inflation rates in South Africa.

(b)Retirement benefit obligation continued
Pension and provident funds
The group contributed to several pension and provident funds governed by the Pension Funds Act, 1956 for the
employees of its South African subsidiaries. The pension funds are multi-employer defined contribution industry plans. The
group’s liability is therefore limited to its monthly determined contributions. The provident funds are funded on a “monetary
accumulative basis” with the member’s and employer’s contributions having been fixed in the constitution of the funds. The
Australian group companies make contributions to each employee’s superannuation (pension) funds in accordance with
the Superannuation Guarantee Scheme (SGS). The SGS is a Federal Government initiative enforced by law which
compels employers to make regular payments to regulated funds providing for each employee on their retirement. The
SGS was set at a minimum of 11.5% of gross salary and wages for the 2025 year (2024: 11.0%). The fund is a defined
contribution plan. The PNG Superannuation Act 2002 requires a compulsory employer contribution of 8.4% (2024: 8.4%)
into an approved superannuation (pension) fund if an employee is appointed for a period of three months or more. The
approved superannuation funds are defined contribution plans.
Substantially all the group’s employees are covered by the above mentioned retirement benefit plans. Funds contributed
by the group for the 2025 financial year amounted to R1 312 million (2024: R1 226 million).
Post-retirement benefits other than pensions
Harmony inherited post-retirement medical benefit obligations with the Freegold acquisition in 2002, the Moab Khotsong
acquisition in 2018 and the Mponeng acquisition in 2021. Except for the above mentioned employees, Harmony has no
other post-retirement benefit obligation for the other group employees.
During September 2024, Harmony entered into an agreement with RMA to transfer a once-off amount of R350 million to
RMA as a single premium for the transfer of the economic and financial risk associated with the liability in respect of the
medical promise and medical aid subsidy, and the administration thereof, from Harmony to RMA. Harmony remains to
retain the legal risk relating to the liability.
The group’s obligation is to pay a subsidy of 2% for every completed year of employment up to a maximum of 50% of total
medical aid contributions, commencing on date of retirement. Should the employee die, either in service or after
retirement, this benefit will transfer to his/her dependants. The medical aid tariffs is based on the Bestmed medical
scheme (Bestmed) options.
The principal actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of unfunded obligations are discussed above. In
addition, the following was also considered:
It is assumed that all Continuation and Widow Members (CAWMs) will remain on the current benefit option and income
band. For employed members, post-employment contributions were assumed to be equal to the average payable for
the current CAWMs membership
It is assumed that not all employed members will remain employed until retirement therefore estimated resignation and
ill-health retirement rates are also taken into account
It is assumed that 90% of employed members will be married at retirement or earlier death and that wives are four
years younger than their husbands.
Through the post-employment medical plan, the group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are
discussed below:
Change in bond yields: A decrease in the bond yields will increase the plan liability
Inflation risk: The obligation is linked to inflation and higher inflation will lead to a higher liability
Life expectancy: The obligation is to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result
in an increase in the plan’s liabilities.
The liability is based on an actuarial valuation conducted using the projected unit credit method.

fulfilled all the relevant clauses per the contract, and the liability was transferred to RMA
(b)The net actuarial loss for 2024 is mainly due to a lower net discount rate driven by the low interest rates assumed
and used.
In 2024, management considered whether a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions would have a
material impact on the obligation, service cost or finance costs. It was determined that changes would result in an
immaterial increase or decrease.
26Leases
Accounting policy
The group assesses the presence of leases in supply contracts with external parties as at the commencement date of the
agreement. Having determined that a contract contains a lease asset (and respective contractual cash obligations), Harmony
recognises a right-of-use asset and lease liability. The group discloses expensed amounts for contracts assessed as variable
leases, low value asset leases and short-term leases. The disclosed value of these expensed leases is either determined on a
straight-line basis over the duration of the lease or on a systematic basis that fairly indicates the consumption of the lease
contract. All expensed lease contracts are recognised in production costs, corporate, administration and other expenditure in the
income statement.
The group applies the following practical expedients when assessing lease contracts:
The low value lease exemption – the group has elected to take the low value exemption with a value of R50 000 for the
individual leased asset value and also applied its accounting policy on capitalisation of assets based on IAS 1 materiality
assessment
The short-term lease exemption – leases with a duration of less than a year will be expensed in the income statement on a
straight-line basis
Non-lease components – the group has applied the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease
components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease
component for the classes of the underlying asset where it is appropriate to do so.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the group uses its incremental
borrowing rate. The group has applied the IFRS 16 portfolio approach in determining the discount rate for leases. As such, a
single discount rate has been used for contracts that share similar characteristics. The group has determined that a portfolio of
contracts that are denominated in the same currency may use a single discount rate. This rate has been determined using
various factors including in-country borrowings as well as other sources of finance. The nature of the right-of-use assets was
also considered.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement
date
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The non-current and current portions of the lease liability are included in other non-current liabilities and trade and other
payables in the balance sheet respectively.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the
effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The group remeasures the
lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
The lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease
liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed
residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial
discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised
discount rate is used)
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease
liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
F-56
Notes to the group financial statements continued
For the year ended 30 June 2025
26Leases continued
Accounting policy continued
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before
the commencement day, any initial direct costs and restoration costs as described below. They are subsequently measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The lease term shall be determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with:
Periods covered by an option to extend the lease if management is reasonably certain to make use of that option and/or
Periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if management is reasonably certain not to make use of that option.
Whenever the group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located
or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and
measured under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The costs are included in the related right-of-
use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease
transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the group expects to exercise a
purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts
at the commencement date of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are presented in mining assets and non-mining assets as part of the property, plant and equipment line
in the balance sheet. The group applies its existing accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets to determine whether
a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss accordingly.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Key judgements applied in determining the right-of-use assets and lease liability are:
Assessing whether an arrangement contains a lease: various factors are considered, including whether a service contract
includes the implicit right to the majority of the economic benefit from assets used in providing the service
Determining the lease term: management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise
an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only
included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if
a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control
of the lessee. The company applies the considerations for short-term leases where leases are modified to extend the period
by 12 months or less on expiry and these modifications are assessed on a standalone basis
Determining the discount rate: in determining the incremental borrowing rates, management considers the term of the lease,
the nature of the asset being leased, the currency in which the lease payments are denominated, in-country borrowings as
well as other sources of finance
Determination of whether Harmony has control over the special purpose entities (SPVs) owning the photovoltaic generation
facilities of the Phase 1 renewable energy program. Harmony has entered into three 15-year agreements whereby Harmony
will purchase all the electricity produced by the photovoltaic generation facilities of the Phase 1 renewable energy program at
favourable rates. Harmony has no equity or voting interest in the SPVs and did not provide a direct guarantee for any of the
obligations of the SPVs towards their shareholders or third-party debt funders. At the end of the PPA tenure, Harmony is
obliged to take up, for a nominal amount, either the solar generation facilities or the shares of the SPVs (provided all liabilities
in the SPVs are settled at that date). In the event of termination of the agreement by Harmony or in the event of force majeure
due to unforeseeable circumstances that prevent one of the parties from fulfilling their obligations set out in the agreements,
Harmony is required to assume the photovoltaic generation facilities and would be required to settle all third-party outstanding
debt in the SPVs. In some instances Harmony may have to settle all or a portion of outstanding shareholder loans as well as
incur a termination penalty. Harmony has assessed these clauses as protective in nature and the exposure to losses are
deemed to be remote. Harmony was assessed to not have control over the SPVs based on the assessment that Harmony
does not have substantive rights to direct the relevant activities of the SPVs. The payments made for electricity generated by
the Phase 1 photovoltaic generation facilities is to be accounted for as variable lease payments once the facilities have been
commissioned.

During 2022, Harmony reached financial close on three 15-year term power purchase agreements for the procurement of
electricity from 30 MW photovoltaic generation facilities. These agreements constitute variable lease contracts that Harmony is
committed to. The variable lease payments from these contracts are determined with reference to the quantity of megawatt
hours (MWh) generated by the facilities. The commercial operating date for the three plants was achieved during August 2023.
The variable lease payments incurred as it relates to these power purchase agreements amounted to R78 million (2024: R54

27Contingent consideration
Accounting policy
Contingent consideration is initially recognised at fair value in accordance with IFRS 3. Changes in the fair value of the liability
subsequent to initial recognition are included in the income statement.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The contingent consideration liability comprises of the contingent consideration included as part of the consideration transferred
for the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets and Eva Copper.
The Mponeng contingent consideration liability was valued using the discounted cash flow valuation method. As at
30 June 2025, the contingent consideration was valued using a post-tax real discount rate of 10.8% (2024: 10.5%). Refer to
note 14 for exchange rate assumptions and other estimates used in the life-of-mine plans.
The Eva Copper contingent consideration liability was valued using a probability weighted method for the new resource payment
and a discounted cash flow valuation for the excess payment. Refer to note 13 for further details on the assumptions applied on
initial recognition. As at 30 June 2025, the contingent consideration was valued using a post-tax nominal discount rate of 11.4%
(2024: 11.4%).
The fair value calculated for the contingent consideration liability is level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of
unobservable inputs.
The contingent consideration liability is attributable to the following business combinations:

(a)The contingent consideration for Mponeng has two parts associated with it. The first part consists of US$260 per ounce
payable on all underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines in excess of 250 000 ounces per
year for six years commencing 1 January 2021. The second part is subject to US$20 per ounce payable on underground
production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines sourced from levels developed in the future below the current
infrastructure. 
The remeasurement for both parts during the 2025 financial year amounted to R427 million (2024: R291 million), mainly
as a result of changes in the production profile.
(b)The contingent consideration for Eva Copper is subject to two criteria. The first criteria is a maximum of US$30 million
payable via a 10% sharing of net incremental revenue above US$3.80/Ib Cu (excess payment). The second criteria is a
maximum US$30 million payable on a new copper resource discovered and declared within the acquired tenements,
calculated using a resource multiple of US$0.03/Ib Cu (new resource payment). These criteria are applicable for the entire
life of the operation until the maximum payments are reached. 
The remeasurement for the 2025 financial year amounted to R403 million (2024: R193 million). This increase was
predominantly as a result of the declaration of additional mineral resources and includes an amount of R264 million which
is due in September 2025.

29Streaming arrangements
Accounting policy
The streaming contract was assessed and has been accounted for as an own-use customer contract. At acquisition, the
streaming contract was initially recognised at a fair value of R1.4 billion in accordance with IFRS 3. The fair value of the contract
took into consideration the existing unfavourable gold price terms at acquisition, in relation to the comparative market gold price.
The obligation to deliver the contractually stipulated ounces over the remaining term of the agreement results in a significant
financing component. The interest accrues on the contract liability over the remaining contractual term. As the performance
obligation to deliver gold is met, the contract liability unwinds into revenue classified as "consideration from streaming contract"
in note 4.
The current portion of the liability is determined with reference to the current production profile of the operation for the next
12 months.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The fair value of the unfavourable contract liability, which forms part of the streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada
Barbados (Franco-Nevada), was measured as the difference between a market analyst consensus of gold prices and the fixed
cash consideration to be received for gold delivered. A post-tax real rate of 11.6% was used to discount the liability over the
expected period of delivery to settle the contract.
Changes in the production plan will affect the subsequent measurement prospectively. This is the only input that is considered
for subsequent measurement. Harmony's cost of debt of 7.7% was used to impute the finance cost for the significant financing
component recognised on the streaming contract liability.

Streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
Harmony's subsidiary, Chemwes, which owns the Mine Waste Solutions operation (MWS), has a contract with Franco-Nevada.
Franco-Nevada is entitled to receive 25% of all the gold produced through MWS. As part of the acquisition of MWS, Harmony
assumed the obligations enforced by the Franco-Nevada contract.
The contract is a streaming agreement that commenced on 17 December 2008 for which Franco-Nevada paid US$125 million
upfront for the right to purchase 25% of the gold production through MWS for a fixed amount of consideration until the balance of
the gold cap is delivered. As at 1 October 2020, the US$125 million upfront payment has been settled. The gold cap is a
provision included in the contract, which stipulates the maximum quantity of gold to be sold to Franco-Nevada over the term of
the agreement. The consideration is determined as the lower of the quoted spot gold price as per the London Metals Exchange
or US$400 per ounce, adjusted with an annual escalation adjustment.
On 23 October 2024, Harmony fulfilled all its obligations stemming from the streaming agreement with Franco Nevada.

Accounting policy – financial liabilities (applicable to notes 30 and 31)
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value when the group becomes a party to its contractual arrangements.
Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities classified at fair
value through profit or loss. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is discussed below. A financial liability is
derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. The group classifies financial liabilities
as follows:
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised
cost, comprising original debt and accrued interest less principal payments and amortisation, using the effective yield method.
Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement
over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. Extension options of borrowings facilities are treated
as loan commitments.
Fees paid on the establishment of the loan facilities are capitalised as a pre-payment and amortised over the period of the
facility to which it relates, to the extent it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no
evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is expensed.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within a year or less. If not, they are
presented as non-current liabilities.

(a)This facility can only be drawn down for qualifying projects.
(b)The interest rates of these facilities is expected to be impacted by the South African IBOR reform, where JIBAR is planned
to be discontinued and replaced with the South African Rand Overnight Index Average (ZARONIA). The transition to
ZARONIA is expected to be finalised by the end of 2026. As these facilities’ agreements makes provision for the use of
replacement benchmarks for determining interest rates, the impact of the IBOR reform is expected to be immaterial.
(c)Initially ten equal bi-annual instalments starting from June 2024, with the final instalment on maturity. Due to the delay in
the project process, and the resultant impact on the drawdowns, the lenders have agreed to amend the repayments to
nine equal bi-annual instalments starting from November 2024. The period of the draw down has lapsed, therefore the
balance of the facility is no longer available.
(d)On 26 June 2025, a bridge facility agreement between Harmony, Harmony Australia and a syndicate of lenders was
concluded. The purpose of the agreement is to secure funding to finance the acquisition of MAC Copper and related costs
(refer to note 13 for further information). Under the agreement, a US$250 million facility (Facility A) and a US$1 billion
facility (Facility B) were made available to Harmony Australia and Harmony, respectively. The facility is undrawn as at
30 June 2025 and has a tenure of 364 days with a six-month extension option.
Origination fees of R197 million were incurred for the facility. These fees are regarded as an integral part of the effective
interest rate of the facility. As no drawdown on the bridge facility has taken place as at 30 June 2025, though still being
regarded as probable in the future, these origination fees have been deferred and will be treated as a transaction cost
when draw down of the facility takes place.

Debt covenants
The debt covenant tests for both the Rand and US dollar facilities are as follows:
The group's interest cover ratio shall be more than five times (EBITDA1/ Total interest paid)
Leverage2 shall not be more than 2.5 times.
1Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), as defined in the agreement excludes extraordinary items such as impairment,
restructuring cost and gains/losses on disposal of fixed assets.
2Leverage is defined as total net debt to EBITDA.
Debt covenants tests were performed for the loan facilities for the 2025 and 2024 financial years and no breaches were noted.
For the 2025 financial year, the group's interest cover ratio was 97.3 times (2024: 44.1 times), while the group's leverage was
negative 0.4 (2024: 0.2). Management believes that it is very likely that the covenant requirements will be met in the foreseeable
future given the current earnings and interest levels.

33Employee benefits
Accounting policy
Pension, provident and medical benefit plans are funded through monthly contributions. The group pays fixed contributions into
a separate entity in terms of the defined contribution pension, provident and medical plans which are charged to the income
statement in the year to which they relate. The group's liability is limited to its monthly determined contributions and it has no
further liability, legal or constructive, if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to
employee service in the current and prior periods. Refer to note 25 for details of the post-retirement medical benefit plan.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee
accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the
following dates: (a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs
for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves
the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits
are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after
balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

34Share-based payments
Accounting policy
The group operates the following employee share incentive plans where the group granted share options to certain employees in
exchange for services received:
The equity-settled Management Deferred Share Plan (DSP) initially awarded in 2020
The equity-settled Katleho ya Moruo ESOP scheme. Shares were issued to the Harmony ESOP Trust on 4 April 2024.
However award letters were issued to employees on 1 July 2024. Refer to critical accounting estimates and judgements
below for further details.
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value that includes market performance conditions but excludes the
impact of any service and non-market performance conditions of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. The share-
based payments are expensed over the vesting period, based on the group's estimate of the shares that are expected to
eventually vest. The group used an appropriate option pricing model in determining the fair value of the options granted. Non-
market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance
sheet date, the estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable are revised.
The impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to
equity. The proceeds received (if any) net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and premium
when the options are exercised.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
(a) On 31 January 2024, the shareholders of Harmony approved the establishment of the Katleho ya Moruo ESOP. The
Harmony ESOP Trust subscribed for Harmony shares equal to 2% of the shareholding in Harmony at a value of R100.66
per share equating to a total contribution of R1 274 million. The Trust received funding for the subscription of the shares
from Harmony and the subsidiaries in the Harmony group who will receive the promised services from the eligible
employees. The shares were issued to the Trust on 4 April 2024, while the allocation notices were sent to employees on 1
July 2024.
The trust deed determines that employees will be deemed to have accepted their allocations unless they formally reject
within 10 days from the date of allocation (therefore on or before 10 July 2024). For the Katleho ya Moruo ESOP scheme,
the service/vesting period commenced on 4 April 2024 while the grant date is 10 July 2024. This is when eligible
employees are notified individually, via letters, of their participation unit allocation and acceptance thereof following the
passing of 10 business days. Harmony has to recognise employee services as they are received. Therefore, for the period
of 4 April 2024 to 30 June 2024, share-based payment expenses for the Katleho ya Moruo ESOP scheme were
recognised in advance of the grant date and prior to the participation units being issued. 
The fair value of the options granted under the Katleho ya Moruo ESOP was based on an estimation of what Harmony’s
share price would be on the grant date of 10 July 2024. The estimated share price used was R175.65. The actual share
price on 10 July 2024 was R176.36, which has been used for the awards prospectively. For determining the grant date fair
value, Harmony’s share price was deemed appropriate as there were no market conditions attached to the grant.
Expected dividends were not incorporated in the measurement of the fair value as the employees granted awards under
the scheme are entitled to receive dividends on the underlying shares during the vesting period.

The fair value of the first and second issue of options granted under the DSP was based on the Harmony spot share price
at each grant date, as there were no market conditions attached to the grant. The fair value of the subsequent issues of
options granted under the DSP was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs into the
model are:

1The risk-free rate was derived from a zero-coupon curve stripped from forward rate agreements and swap inputs.
2The volatility was estimated on the historical returns of the Harmony share price over a period matching the time to maturity of the shares.
3The dividend yield was based on Harmony’s dividend forecasts and estimates of future share prices.

Employee share-based payments
The objective of these schemes is to recognise the contributions of employees to the group's financial position and performance
and to retain key employees.
Executive management is encouraged to retain shares when they vest and a minimum shareholding requirement has been
introduced to achieve this. This shareholding is meant to align shareholder and executive objectives to grow total shareholder
return.
The total cost relating to employee share-based payments is made up as follows:

In December 2018, the board approved the new Total Incentive Plan for management which includes deferred shares. The first
allocations under the new plan occurred in October 2019, the subsequent allocations occurring in October of each year since
then. Our shareholders have authorised up to 25 000 000 shares of the issued share capital to be used for this plan. As at
30 June 2025, 6 395 468 shares have been issued in terms of the Management DSP.
On 31 January 2024, our shareholders approved the issue of Harmony shares equal to 2% of the shareholding in Harmony to
the Harmony ESOP Trust. This equated to 12 651 525 shares. These shares will be used to facilitate the non-managerial share-
based payment scheme.

Options granted under the Management Deferred Share Plan
Harmony implemented the Total Incentive Plan, comprising a long-term DSP and a short-term annual cash payment with effect
from 1 July 2019. The total incentive for each management-level employee is determined every year through a balanced
scorecard calculation. The balanced scorecard result includes a number of key short- and long-term company performance
measures (to be measured over trailing three- and one-year periods). The measures are reviewed and defined annually with
appropriate weightings. A portion of the total incentive is paid immediately in cash and the balance is settled by means of
deferred shares.
The awards will vest at a rate of 20% per annum over the following five years for executive directors and prescribed officers, and
one-third per annum over the following three years for qualifying management. The only performance criteria is that the
participant is still employed within the group at time of vesting.
Termination of employees' participation in the share scheme is based on "no fault" and "fault" definitions:
Fault
All unvested and unexercised DS not yet vested are lapsed and cancelled
No fault
All unvested and unexercised DS will continue in force to vest on the original vesting dates in accordance
with the rules of the plan.

Options granted under the Katleho ya Moruo ESOP
Following the expiration of the Sisonke Employee Share Ownership Plan in 2022, Harmony approved the establishment of the
Katleho ya Moruo ESOP in January 2024. The scheme aims to continue facilitating beneficial interest and ownership by non-
managerial employees in South Africa (the beneficiaries) of Harmony shares in order to:
Facilitate economic empowerment of Harmony’s employees
Incentivise Harmony’s employees, so as to promote the shared interests of employees and shareholders in the value growth
of Harmony
Further align the interests of the Harmony shareholders and those of the employees of Harmony.
The shares were issued to the Harmony ESOP Trust (the Trust) on 4 April 2024. Each beneficiary under the scheme is awarded
360 Participation Units (PU) from 1 July 2024 if they qualified for the scheme upon its formation or within six months of the
formation thereof. Thereafter, qualifying employees will be awarded PU on a pro-rata basis in line with the scheme rules.
Participation Unit refers to the vested rights of a beneficiary to an equal number of Harmony shares held by the Trust. The PU
will vest after a service period of five years commencing on 4 April 2024. The only performance criteria is that the participant is
still employed within the group at time of vesting. The Katleho ya Moruo ESOP is equity-settled.
Termination of employees' participation in the share scheme is based on "no fault" and "fault" definitions:
Fault
All unvested and unexercised PU are lapsed and cancelled
No fault
Accelerated vesting occurs and all unvested and unexercised PU are settled in accordance with the rules of
the plan.

Contingent liabilities
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Contingencies will only realise when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The exercise of significant judgement and
estimates of the outcome of future events are required during the assessment of the impact of such contingencies.
Litigation and other judicial proceedings as a rule raise difficult and complex legal issues and are subject to uncertainties and
complexities including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case, issues regarding the jurisdiction in
which the suit is brought and differences in applicable law. Upon resolution of any pending legal matter, the group may be forced
to incur charges in excess of the presently established provisions and related insurance coverage. It is possible that the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the group could be materially affected by the outcome of the litigation.
F-73
Notes to the group financial statements continued
For the year ended 30 June 2025
36Commitments and contingencies continued
Contingent liabilities continued
The following contingent liabilities have been identified:
(a)On 1 December 2008, Harmony issued 3 364 675 Harmony shares to Rio Tinto Limited (Rio Tinto) for the purchase of Rio
Tinto’s rights to the royalty agreement entered into prior to our acquisition of the Wafi deposits in PNG. The shares were
valued at R242 million on the transaction date. An additional US$10 million in cash will be payable when the decision to
mine is made. Of this amount, Harmony is responsible for paying the first US$7 million, with the balance of US$3 million
being borne equally by the joint operators.
(b)The group may have a potential exposure to rehabilitate groundwater and radiation that may exist where the group has
and/or continues to operate. The group has initiated analytical assessments to identify, quantify and mitigate impacts if and
when (or as and where) they arise. Scientific, technical and legal studies are underway to assist in determining the
magnitude of the contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions. The group has implemented measures to
assist with mitigating seepage and plume migration. It has been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)
will contribute to the improvement of the environment.
To date, water treatment facilities were successfully implemented at Doornkop, Tshepong West, Harmony One Plant,
Kareerand (MWS), Target 1 and Tau Tona. These facilities are now assisting in reducing our dependency on externally
supplied potable water.
In terms of Free State operations, Harmony has taken the initiative to develop a regional flood model. In addition to
improving the operational water balances for all our operations, the geohydrological studies undertaken to date confirm
that there is no risk of decant in Welkom. As more studies are undertaken in the area from time to time, this will add to our
knowledge base in the Free State area. If the studies yield different solutions or regulators reject the proposed plans,
requiring the group to recognise contingencies as liabilities, it could have a material impact on the group's financial
statements.
(c)Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations in South Africa, any proposed solution for potential flooding and
potential decant risk posed by deep groundwater needs to be a combined one, supported by all the mines located in these
goldfields. As a result, the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) and affected mining companies
require the development of a regional mine closure strategy. In 2024, the DMPR released a draft mine closure strategy for
comment.
Harmony operations have conducted a number of specialist studies and the risk of surface decant due to rising
groundwater levels has been obviated at the entire Free State region and Kalgold. Regional geohydrological assessments
are currently underway for all South African Operations. Previous studies have indicated that there is no risk of decant
from Doornkop, Kusasalethu and Mponeng, however the aforementioned geohydrological assessments will confirm such.
In addition, the decant from the Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeestfontein groundwater system tied with our Moab
Khotsong operation has been proactively managed.
Preliminary studies have also been completed to manage and mitigate the seepage from tailings facilities. Should
additional studies result in different solutions than the one’s initially proposed, or the regulators do not approve the
proposed plans, it might result in a change in estimate to the recorded liabilities or the group recording liabilities over and
above the current provisions.
(d)Harmony South African operations have applied for and/or obtained a Water Use Licence in respect of the National Water
Act, from the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). The respective Water Use Licences for the Free State
Operations and Doornkop have not yet been approved by DWS. All operations continue to operate legally and responsibly.
(e)In terms of the sale agreements entered into with Rand Uranium, Harmony retained financial exposure relating to
environmental disturbances and degradation caused by it before the effective date, in excess of R75 million of potential
claims. Rand Uranium is therefore liable for all claims up to R75 million and retains legal liability. The likelihood of potential
claims cannot be determined presently and no provision for any liability has been made in the financial statements.
(f)Randfontein Estates Limited (REL), a subsidiary of Harmony has an existing legal dispute with the Merafong Municipality
(Merafong) relating to rates payable in terms of Merafong's Supplementary Valuation Roll 6 (SVR6). REL lodged appeals
against the market values contained in SVR6. Merafong is contending for total rates payable of between R124 million and
R164 million under SVR6, while Harmony is contending for total rates payable of between R17 million and R69 million on
the basis that certain items of the mining operations are not rateable and/or disregarded for valuation purposes and that
depreciation, rehabilitation, phasing-in and category use changes are favourably considered by the Merafong Valuation
Appeal Board (Merafong VAB). Payment arrangements have been concluded between REL and Merafong in relation to
these rates disputes. The Merafong VAB hearings are currently underway with other mining companies with similar legal
disputes. Harmony's appeal hearings have been extended to end in November 2025, where the outcome of the matter will
be decided upon by the Merafong VAB.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the board of
directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges certain selected financial risks in close cooperation with the group's
operating units. The audit and risk committee and the board provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as
written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of
derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity.

37Financial risk management continued
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily
with respect to the US dollar (US$). Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised financial
assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. Harmony’s revenues are sensitive to
the R/US$ exchange rate as majority of revenues are generated by commodity sales denominated in US$. A weakening of the
Rand will increase the reported revenue total; conversely a strengthening will decrease it.
Harmony maintains a foreign currency derivative programme to manage foreign exchange risk. The limit currently set by the
board is 25% of the group's foreign exchange risk exposure for a period of 24 months. The audit and risk committee reviews the
details of the programme quarterly. Refer to note 17 and the fair value determination for financial assets and liabilities section
below for further details on these contracts.
The Rand strengthened during the 2025 year from a closing rate of R18.19/US$1 on 30 June 2024 to R17.75/US$1 on
30 June 2025. The strengthening of the Rand resulted in the average locked-in rates being higher than the spot exchange rate
at 30 June 2025, which had a positive impact on the contracts that matured during the period as well as those that were
outstanding as at 30 June 2025.
The group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from borrowings and cash denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of that entity (refer to note 2.2 for details on the group's functional currencies). These exposures are mainly
due to the US$. The strengthening of the Rand also had a positive impact on the translation of the US$ debt facilities at 30 June
2025. Refer to note 30 for further detail.
Translation of the international net assets was impacted by the strengthening of the Rand against the Australian dollar from
R12.14/A$1 at 30 June 2024 to R11.68/A$1 on 30 June 2025. Additionally, the Kina weakened against the Australian dollar from
a closing rate of PGK2.57/A$1 on 30 June 2024 to PGK2.72/A$1 on 30 June 2025. The translation from Kina to Australian dollar
and Australian dollar to Rand, combined with the average rate at which income statement items were translated at, resulted in a
foreign exchange translation loss of R819 million being recognised in other comprehensive income for the year.
The relevant exchange rates traded in the following ranges:

The group has reviewed its foreign currency exposure on financial assets and financial liabilities and has identified the following
sensitivities in the exchange rates that would affect profit and loss before tax:
Rand/US$ exchange rate – 4% (2024: 3%) based on the standard deviation from a one-year forecast of various financial
institution outlooks
Rand/A$ exchange rate – 3% (2024: 3%) based on the standard deviation from a one-year forecast of various financial
institution outlooks
A$/US$ exchange rate – 4% (2024: 3%) based on the standard deviation from a one-year forecast of various financial
institution outlooks.
Only material foreign currency exposure balances were considered when determining the need for a sensitivity analysis and
therefore management has not performed a sensitivity analysis on PGK/US$ exchange rates.

Commodity price sensitivity
The profitability of the group’s operations, and the cash flows generated by those operations, are affected mainly by changes in
the market price of gold, and in the case of Hidden Valley, silver as well. Harmony entered into derivative contracts to manage
the variability in cash flows from the group’s production, in order to create cash certainty and protect the group against lower
commodity prices.The limit for gold hedging as set by the board is 30%, 20% and 10% of production in a 12-, 24- and 36-month
period, respectively, for contracts entered into on or after 1 April 2024. The limit set by the Board is 50% of silver exposure over a
24-month period and 50% for uranium exposure over a 60-month period. Management continues to top up these programmes
as and when opportunities arise to lock in attractive margins for the business, but are not required to maintain hedging at these
levels. The audit and risk committee reviews the details of the programme quarterly.
The exposure to the variability in the price of gold is managed by entering into gold forward sales contracts and gold zero cost
collar contracts for a portion of the group's production. A portion of the production of the South African operations is linked to
Rand gold forward contracts and Rand gold zero cost collar contracts. US$ gold forward contracts and US$ gold zero cost collar
contracts were entered into for the production from Hidden Valley. The exposure to the variability in the price of silver for Hidden
Valley is managed by entering into US$ silver zero cost collars. The US$ silver zero cost collars contracts have not been
designated as hedging instruments for hedge accounting and the gains and losses are accounted for in the income statement.
Refer to note 17 and the fair value determination for financial assets and liabilities section below for further detail on these
contracts.
During the year under review, the group's cash inflows from uranium were managed by way of a forward contract, whereby
uranium prices are predetermined for a fixed amount of uranium production. These contracts are not designated as derivative
contracts as the “own use” exemption of IFRS 9 Financial instruments is applicable to them.
An increase in the price of gold in US$ terms resulted in the average locked-in gold forward prices being lower than the gold
spot price which had a negative impact on the gold forward hedging contracts that matured during the period as well as those
that were outstanding as at 30 June 2025. The average cap prices were also lower than the gold spot price of the remaining
gold zero cost collar contracts, resulting in a negative valuation as at 30 June 2025.

Commodity price sensitivity continued
The group has reviewed its exposure to commodity-linked instruments and identified a sensitivity of 11% (2024: 8%), based on
the standard deviation of a one-year forecast gold price from various financial institution outlooks. The estimated sensitivity
would affect other comprehensive income.
Only material commodity balances were considered when determining the need for a sensitivity analysis and therefore
management has not performed a sensitivity analysis on silver commodities.

Other price risk
The group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of fair value through profit or loss financial assets as a result of
changes in market prices (other than changes in interest rates and foreign currencies). Harmony generally does not use any
derivative instruments to manage this risk.
Sensitivity analysis
Certain restricted investments are linked to the Top 40 Index on the JSE. Management has performed an assessment and there
is no reasonable possible change that would result in a material impact for the year.
Interest rate risk
The group's interest rate risk arises mainly from borrowings. The group has variable interest rate borrowings. Variable rate
borrowings expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk.
With inflation rates easing and economies recovering, central banks started to reduce interest rates during the year ended
30 June 2025. The reduced interest rates had a positive impact on Harmony's cost of borrowings compared to the prior year.
The group has therefore not entered into interest rate swap agreements as the interest rate risk continues to be assessed as
low. Further to this, the decreased interest rates have lowered outstanding bond yields and this has resulted in a decrease in
discount rates. This impact can be seen in the change in the environmental rehabilitation provision. Refer to note 24 for further
information. The audit and risk committee reviews the group's risk exposure quarterly.
Management has performed an assessment and there is no reasonable possible change that would result in a material impact
on profit/(loss) for the year.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may default or not meet its obligations in a timely manner. Financial instruments which
are subject to credit risk are restricted cash and investments, derivative financial assets and cash and cash equivalents, as well
as trade and other receivables (excluding non-financial instruments).
Assessment of credit risk
In assessing the creditworthiness of local institutions, management uses the national scale long-term ratings. The credit risk
arising from restricted cash and investments, derivative financial assets and cash and cash equivalents is managed by ensuring
amounts are only invested with financial institutions of good credit quality based on external credit ratings and by assessing the
underlying source of where the funds are invested. The group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one
financial institution. The audit and risk committee reviews the exposure on a quarterly basis. Exposure to credit risk on trade and
other receivables is monitored on a regular basis by management.
At 30 June 2025, the national scale investment grade rating of the major South African banks remained unchanged at AA+ and
the group's Australian counterparts remained at AA-, which is in line with the group's credit risk policy.
An assessment of the expected credit losses for the financial assets measured at amortised cost at 30 June 2025 resulted in an
immaterial amount for each instrument, in line with the assessment performed in 2024 (refer to the expected credit loss
assessment below for further detail).
Management will continue to review the underlying strength of the economies we operate in as well as the creditworthiness of
the financial institutions and make any changes deemed necessary to safeguard the assets and reduce the credit risk.

Expected credit loss assessment
The group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The
group's debt instruments at amortised cost consist of cash and cash equivalents, a portion of restricted cash and investments
and trade and other receivables. The assessment of ECLs for the different debt instruments is discussed below:
Cash and cash equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks and financial institutions which are rated between AA- and AA+ (see above).
The ECL on cash and cash equivalents has been determined using the simplified approach that allows the group to assume that
the credit risk on financial instruments determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date, has not increased significantly
since initial recognition of the financial instrument. The ECL was estimated with reference to a probability of default model using
external credit ratings in determining the default risk of counterparties. The ECL was determined to be immaterial.
Restricted cash and investments
The restricted cash and investments relate largely to the environmental trust funds. These funds are held with banks and
financial institutions that are rated between AA+ and AA- (2024: AA+ and AA-) (see above) as well as investments in government
bonds rated at AA+ (2024: AAA). Impairment of investments with investment-grade ratings has been determined using the
simplified approach that allows the group to assume that the credit risk on financial instruments determined to have low credit
risk at the reporting date, has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial instrument. The group considers
that the majority of its restricted cash and investments have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the
counterparties with which the funds are deposited. The ECL was estimated with reference to a probability of default model using
external credit ratings in determining the default risk of counterparties. Concentration of credit risk on restricted cash and
investments is considered minimal due to the group’s investment risk management and counterparty exposure risk management
policies.
Trade and other receivables
The group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables (metals) and other trade receivables is influenced mainly by
the individual characteristics of each customer.
Trade receivables result largely from the sale of gold and are fully performing. Exposure to credit risk on receivables from gold
sales is limited through payment terms of two to three days after recognition of revenue for gold sales. The majority of other
receivables comprise a limited number of individually significant customers. The group determines the ECL on trade receivables
and individually significant other receivable balances with reference to a probability of default model using external credit ratings
in determining the default risk of counterparties. The external credit ratings used range between A- to AA. The ECL was
determined to be immaterial.
Loss allowances on individually insignificant other trade receivables has been determined using the simplified ECL approach
using a provision matrix and reflects the short-term maturities of the exposures and past experienced credit judgement. Refer to
note 18 for details on the amount of the loss allowance recognised and the stratification of trade and other receivables for
purposes of the assessment.

Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
In the ordinary course of business, the group receives cash from its operations and is required to fund working capital and capital
expenditure requirements. Management prepares cash flow forecasts weekly and ensures that surplus funds are invested in a
manner to achieve market-related returns and to provide sufficient liquidity at the minimum risk. The group maintains and
refinances committed credit facilities as medium-term forecasts require. The audit and risk committee reviews the updated
forecasts quarterly. The group is able to actively source financing at competitive rates. Where necessary, funds will be drawn
from its revolving credit facilities (refer to note 30).
The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of financial liabilities (including principal and interest payments

Capital risk management
The primary objective of managing the group’s capital is to ensure that there is sufficient capital available to support the funding
requirements of the group, in a way that optimises the cost of capital and matches the current strategic business plan.
The group manages and makes adjustments to the capital structure, which consists of debt and equity, as and when borrowings
mature or when funding is required. This may take the form of raising equity, market or bank debt or hybrids thereof. In doing so,
the group ensures it stays within the debt covenants agreed with lenders. The group may also sell assets to reduce debt or
schedule projects to manage the capital structure.
The group made repayments of R50 million during the year ended 30 June 2025 (2024: R4 047 million). Refer to note 30 for
further details. It remains the group's objective to adhere to a conservative approach to debt and maintain low levels of gearing in
order to be well positioned for upcoming capital expenditure on the various growth projects and acquisitions.

(a)The majority of the balance relates to the equity investment in Rand Mutual Assurance. The fair value of the investment
was estimated with reference to an independent valuation. A combination of the "Embedded Valuation" and "Net Asset
Value" techniques were applied to revalue the investment at the reporting dates. In evaluating the group's share of the
business, common practice marketability and minority discounts as well as additional specific risk discounts were applied.
There are no inputs to the valuation that a reasonably possible change would result in a material change in the fair value
of the investment.
(b)The level 1 valued assets comprise listed equity securities designated as fair value through other comprehensive income
instruments. The majority of the level 2 valued assets are directly derived from the Top 40 index on the JSE and are
discounted at market interest rates. This relates to equity-linked deposits in the group's environmental rehabilitation trust
funds. The remaining balance of the environmental trust funds is carried at amortised cost and therefore not disclosed
here.
(c)The mark-to-market remeasurement of the derivative contracts (refer to note 17 for further details) was determined as
follows:
Foreign exchange contracts comprise zero cost collars and FECs: The zero cost collars were valued using a Black-
Scholes valuation technique derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate inputs, implied volatilities on the Rand/US$
exchange rate, Rand/US$ inter-bank interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate (zero-coupon interest rate
curve). The value of the FECs is derived from the forward Rand/US$ exchange rate and discounted at a market interest
rate (zero-coupon interest rate curve)
Rand gold forward sale contracts: spot Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand and dollar interest rates (forward points), spot
US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate which is discounted at a market
interest rate
US$ gold forward sale contracts: spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest
rate and discounted at a market interest rate
Silver contracts (zero cost collars): a Black-Scholes valuation technique, derived from the spot US$ silver price, strike
price, implied volatilities, time to maturity and interest rates and discounted at a market interest rate
Rand gold zero cost collar contracts: a Black-Scholes valuation technique, derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate,
spot US$ gold price, Rand and dollar interest rates (forward points) with discounting at the market interest rate (zero-
coupon interest rate curve), US$ gold forward rates, time to maturity and implied volatilities
US$ gold zero cost collar contracts: a Black-Scholes valuation technique, derived from spot US$ gold price, US$ gold
forward rates, US$ interest rates with discounting at the market interest rate (zero-coupon interest rate curve), time to
maturity and implied volatilities.

Fair value determination for financial assets and liabilities continued
(d)The balance of level 2 valued trade and other receivables relates to a contract for the sale of gold-bearing material which
contains variable consideration, dependent on the spot gold price and the quantities of gold recovered once refining at
Rand Refinery has been concluded. The fair value of the trade receivable was determined based on the expected value
method using the estimated gold content of material sold and the expected spot gold price. There are no inputs to the
valuation that a reasonably possible change would result in a material change in the fair value of the trade receivable.
(e)At 30 June 2025, the fair value movement was calculated using a discounted cash flow model, taking into account forecast
dividend payments over the estimated repayment period of the loan at a rate of 11.5% (2024: 12.6%). A 28 basis points
(2024: 73 basis points) change in the discount rate, which would represent a reasonably possible change based on
expected movement in lending rates, would not cause a material change in the fair value of the loan. The loan balance
forms part of other non-current assets in the balance sheet. During the 2025 year, repayments to the value of R28 million
(2024R42 million) were received.
(f)Contingent consideration liabilities (refer to note 27) consist of the following:
Mponeng operation
The contingent consideration related to the Mponeng operation was determined using the expected gold production
profile for Mponeng. At 30 June 2025, the liability was valued at R676 million (2024: R587 million), using a discounted
cash flow valuation method at a post-tax real rate of 10.8% (2024: 10.5%). Should the expected gold production profile
increase by 11.5% or decrease by 11.5%, the contingent consideration liability would increase by R319 million
(2024: R354 million at 9.7%) or decrease by R319 million (2024: R340 million at 9.7%) respectively. This represents
reasonably expected changes which were determined based on the average variance between the planned production
and the actual production achieved over a number of years. No other reasonably expected changes in key
unobservable inputs would have caused a material change in the fair value of the liability. The remeasurement of the
liability is disclosed as a separate line in the income statement.
Eva Copper
The contingent consideration for Eva Copper includes contingent consideration valued at R781 million
(2024R378 million), using a probability weighted method for the new resource payment and a discounted cash flow
valuation for the excess payment, both discounted at a post-tax nominal rate of 11.4% (2024: 11.4%). A long-term
copper price of US$4.25/lbs (2024: US$4.00/lbs) was applied in the valuation. A 11.8% change (2024: 10.4%)  in the
long-term copper price, which would represent a reasonably possible change based on the standard deviation of market
analysts long-term forecasts of the copper price, would not cause a material change in the fair value of the contingent
consideration. The remeasurement of the liability is disclosed as a separate line in the income statement.
The carrying values (less any impairment allowance) of short-term financial instruments are assumed to approximate their fair
values. This includes restricted cash and investments carried at amortised cost. The carrying values of borrowings fairly
approximates their fair values, as these values do not differ materially due to the interest payable on the borrowings being set at
market-related floating interest rates.
38Subsequent events
(a)On 22 July 2025, Harmony has entered into restructuring documents with MAC Copper, OR Royalties and Glencore
pursuant to which the parties have agreed to amend various documents in connection with the copper stream, silver
stream and the royalty deed with such amendments to take effect after the Jersey law scheme of arrangement pursuant to
Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) (the scheme) for the acquisition of MAC Copper has been
implemented.
(b)On 14 August 2025, Mr Frans Lombard was appointed to the board of directors of Harmony as an independent non-
executive director.
(c)On 27 August 2025, a final dividend of 155 SA cents was declared, which was paid on 13 October 2025.
(d)On 9 October 2025, it was confirmed that all of the conditions to the scheme for the acquisition of MAC Copper had been
satisfied or waived and the Royal Court of Jersey made orders sanctioning the proposed acquisition. Following lodgement
by MAC Copper of a copy of the Court’s order with the Jersey Registrar of Companies on 10 October 2025, the scheme
became legally effective. On 22 October 2025, a drawdown of US$875 million (R15.21 billion) was made from the
US$1.25 billion bridge facility. These funds were utilised on 23 October 2025 to settle the cash consideration of
US$1.01 billion (R17.52 billion). Following the receipt of the funds, the scheme was implemented, resulting in an
acquisition date of 24 October 2025.
(e)On 28 October 2025, a payment of US$223 million (R3.83 billion) was made to Citicorp International Limited in full as final
settlement of the MAC Copper senior debt.
(f)On 29 October 2025, a payment of US$75 million (R1.29 billion) was made to Glencore in settlement of the first contingent
copper consideration. This consideration became payable as a result of the lapsing of the payment holiday agreed
between Glencore and MAC Copper following the change of control of MAC Copper.

39Segment report
Accounting policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker (CODM). The CODM has been identified as the Group CEO's office.
The group has one main economic product, being gold. In order to determine operating and reportable segments, management
reviewed various factors, including geographical location as well as managerial structure. It was determined that an operating
segment consists of a shaft or a group of shafts or open pit mine managed by an operational management team.
After applying the qualitative and quantitative thresholds from IFRS 8 Operating Segments, the reportable segments were
determined as: Tshepong North, Tshepong South, Moab Khotsong, Bambanani, Joel, Doornkop, Target 1, Kusasalethu,
Masimong, Mponeng, Mine Waste Solutions and Hidden Valley. All other operating segments have been grouped together under
all other surface operations.
The CODM comprises of the following executives:
Chief Executive Officer
Financial Director
Executive Director: Stakeholder Relations and Corporate Affairs
Deputy Chief Executive Officer
Chief Development Officer
Executive Operating Officer: Australasia.
The following members of the Group CEO’s office provide strategic and technical support to the CODM. As such, they are not
considered part of the CODM for the purpose of IFRS 8:
Chief People Officer
Chief Corporate Officer
Chief Sustainability Officer
Chief Financial Officer: Treasury
Chief Information Officer.
When assessing profitability, the CODM considers the revenue and production costs of each segment. The net of these amounts
is the production profit or loss. Therefore, production profit has been disclosed in the segment report as the measure of profit or
loss. The CODM also considers capital expenditure, gold production and tonnes milled when assessing the overall economic
sustainability of each segment. The CODM, however, does not consider depreciation or impairment and therefore these
amounts have not been disclosed in the segment report.
Segment assets consist of mining assets and mining assets under construction included under property, plant and equipment
which can be attributed to the segment. Current and non-current group assets that are not allocated at a segment level form part
of the reconciliation to total assets.
A reconciliation of the segment totals to the group financial statements has been included in note 40.
