TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

Shareholders are advised that Exxaro and its directors are reasonably certain regarding the expected
financial results of Exxaro for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 is expected to
decrease between 18% and 23% compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2025. This is
mainly attributable to lower income from our equity-accounted investments at Sishen Iron Ore
Company Proprietary Limited (SIOC) and Black Mountain Mining Proprietary Limited (BMM). SIOC
results were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the Rand against the US dollar and above
inflationary increases in key mining input costs compared to the prior period, largely reflecting the
effects of the conflict in the Middle East. The decrease in the equity?accounted income from BMM was
mainly driven by higher production costs and a delayed ramp-up of the Gamsberg-project.

The decrease in attributable earnings per share (AEPS) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026
is also expected to decrease between 18% and 23% compared to the six-month period ended
30 June 2025 for the same reasons as mentioned above.

EBITDA(1) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 is expected to be broadly in line with that
reported for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025.

The expected ranges are summarised below:

                 Unit        30 June 2025           30 June 2026              30 June 2026

                             earnings               earnings range            percentage range

 AEPS            cents       1 717                  1 408 – 1 322             18% - 23% decrease
