Company Announcement - Kumba’s results for the year ending 31 December 2015 will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited on 9 February 2016. Headline earnings and basic earnings for the period are likely to be at least R2, 201 million (20%) and R2, 145 million lower than the previous year ended 31 December 2014, respectively.

Headline earnings and basic earnings reported for the year ended 31 December 2014 (as released on SENS on 10 February 2015) ("the comparative   period") were   R11,006  million  and  R10,724  million respectively, while headline earnings per share and earnings per share reported for the comparative period were R34.32 and R33.44 respectively.

The decrease in earnings is largely attributable to the significant decrease in export iron ore prices during the year. In this regard, HEPS and EPS are also likely to be at least R6.86/share (20%) and R6.69 lower than those of the comparative period, respectively. Shareholders are advised that a further trading statement will be issued in due course to provide forecast ranges for HEPS and EPS as required by the JSE Listing requirements.
