Gemfields Trading Statement
Gemfields is reasonably certain that its net profit after tax will be USD 16 million for the 6 month period to 30
June 2018 compared to a net loss after tax of USD 81 million for the comparative period of 6 months to 30 June
2017. In ZAR terms, net profit after tax will be ZAR 197 million (ZAR1.1 billion net loss after tax for the
comparative period).
Earnings and headline earnings per share are expected to be USDc 1.0 for the 6 month period to 30 June 2018
compared to loss and headline loss per share of USDc 10.6 for the comparative period. In ZAR terms, earnings
and headline earnings per share will be ZAR 0.15 (ZAR 1.39 loss and headline loss per share for the comparative

Gemfields’ two key operating assets, Kagem and MRM, generated revenues of USD 20.3 million and USD 71.8
million respectively during the 6 month period to 30 June 2018 and Fabergé recorded revenues of USD 7.0
million. During the period the Company sold approximately 60% of its shares in Jupiter Mines Ltd as part of
Jupiter’s relisting on the ASX as well as participating in another Jupiter buy-back. Gemfields realised profits of
USD 11.7 million from these two transactions. Gemfields’ remaining stake in Jupiter resulted in an unrealised
fair value gain of USD 4 million for the period. Gemfields’ investment in SPM is maintained at the same valuation
as at 31 December 2017. For the comparative earnings period i.e. 1 January 2017 – 30 June 2017, Gemfields
operated as an investment entity.
