Trading statement for the interim period ended 30 June 2013
ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM LIMITED
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
Registration number 1946/022452/06
Share code: AMS
ISIN: ZAE000013181
(“the Company” or “Amplats”)
TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
Amplats results for the six months ended 30 June 2013 ("the
period") will be released on SENS on or about 22 July 2013.
Headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) for the period is expected
to increase to between 480 cents and 535 cents from 273 cents
reported for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (“the comparative
period”).
The expected increase in HEPS is largely attributable to a
weaker average exchange rate of the Rand against the Dollar and
higher sales volumes, partially offset by the impact of higher
costs and lower realised dollar metal prices.
Basic earnings per share for the period are expected to increase
to between 450 cents and 486 cents from a loss of 178 cents for
the comparative period. Basic earnings for the comparative
period includes an after tax once off loss of R1.2 billion
(455 cents per share) resulting from the write-down of certain
investments as well as certain projects and assets, that were
considered uneconomical.
The financial information on which this trading statement is
based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s
external auditors.
