Kumba is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 30
June 2014 ("the period"), which will be released on SENS on 22 July
2014. Headline earnings and basic earnings for the period are expected
to be between R6,255 million and R6,895 million, with headline earnings
per share ("HEPS") and earnings per share ("EPS") to be between R19.50
and R21.50.
Headline earnings and basic earnings reported for the six months ended

period") were R7,748 million and R7,759 million respectively while HEPS
and EPS reported for the comparative period were R24.13 and R24.16
