Impala Platinum Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended December 31, 2023. In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, issuers must publish a trading statement on SENS as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by at least 20% from those of the previous comparative period. Due primarily to the impact of weaker dollar PGM pricing, Implats is expecting headline earnings and headline earnings per share ("HEPS") for the period to be at least 20% lower than those reported in the comparative period.

Headline earnings and HEPS for the comparative period were ZAR 14.0 billion and 1,654 cents, respectively. Basic earnings and basic earnings per share ("EPS") are also expected to be at least 20% lower than the comparative period.
