("Harmony" and/or "the Company")

**Trading statement for the six months ended 31 December 2025** 

**Johannesburg, Monday, 9 March 2026.** In terms of paragraph 6.26 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), a company listed on the JSE is required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the next period to be reported upon - being its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025 ("H1FY26") - will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the comparable six months ended 31 December 2024 ("the previous comparable period" or "H1FY25").

"Harmony's underlying fundamentals remain strong, evident in the performance across our portfolio. Disciplined capital allocation allows us to convert higher gold prices into growth, while integrating copper scale from CSA and Eva Copper to widen margins and de-risk cash flows through the cycle. We remain focused on selective, sequenced and affordable growth, alongside responsible shareholder returns. Mining with Purpose ensures we convert today's opportunity into enduring long-term value for all," says Beyers Nel, CEO.

**Expected basic and headline earnings for H1FY26** 

Shareholders of Harmony are advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that basic earnings for H1FY26 will be higher than for H1FY25 primarily due to:

• an increase in revenue as a result of significant rise in the average gold price received which increased by 36% to R1 909 849/kg in H1FY26 from R1 405 020/kg in H1FY25. When measured in US dollar, the average gold price received increased by 40% to $3 421/oz in H1FY26 from $2 437/oz in H1FY25.

• a reversal of impairment in respect of property, plant and equipment relating to the Tshepong North cash generating unit ("CGU") recognised in H1FY26 as a result of significantly higher gold price assumptions applied in the valuation.

------

• an increase in foreign exchange translation which is mainly attributable to the translation gain from the US dollar-denominated bridge facility. This gain resulted from favourable exchange rate movements when converted into the company's functional currency.

The increase in earnings was partially offset by the following:

• an increase in production costs due to above-inflation increases electricity costs and higher labour costs in line with the 5-year wage agreement);.

• an increase in royalty tax due to higher rates being applied as a result of higher profits, as well as the increased revenue base to which it is applied;

• an increase in current taxation, reflecting increased taxable income resulting from improved profitability due to favourable gold prices.

• an increase in amortisation and depreciation as a result of additions to property, plant and equipment following the acquisition of MAC Copper Limited ("MAC Copper");

• an increase in derivative losses, primarily driven by the significant rise in the silver spot price, which moved above the average locked-in floor and cap prices of the outstanding silver collar contracts.

• acquisition costs related to various costs directly attributable to the acquisition process of MAC Copper. These costs include stamp duty payable in Australia, attorney and advisory fees.

• an increase in finance costs, mainly due to the bridge facility for the MAC acquisition, which includes the amortisation of the commitment fees. Additionally, there was an increase in the finance cost element of the streaming arrangements which were assumed as part of the MAC Copper acquisition.

• fair value movements on copper and silver streaming arrangements with OR Royalties Inc. (OR Royalties) which resulted from embedded derivatives that have been separated from the host contracts and are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Consequently, earnings per share ("EPS") are expected to be between 1527 and 1638 South African cents per share, which represents an increase of between 21% and 30% on the EPS of 1265 South African cents per share for the previous comparable period. In United States ("US") dollar terms, the EPS are expected to be between 87 and 92 US cents per share, which is an increase of between 23% and 30% on the EPS of 71 US cents per share reported for the previous comparable period.

------

Headline earnings per share ("HEPS") are expected to be between 1411 and 1485 South African cents, which represents an increase of between 11% and 17% from the HEPS of 1270 South African cents reported in the previous comparable period. In US dollar terms, the HEPS are expected to be between 79 and 86 US cents per share, which is an increase of between 11% and 21% on the headline earnings of 71 US cents per share reported for the previous comparable period.

Harmony will publish its financial results for the six months ended <br>31 December 2025 on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. Please see Harmony's website for more details: <u>www.harmony.co.za</u>.
