per share (FY25H1: US 1.20 cents per share)
-- Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 192.0% to US 7.30 cents per share
(FY25H1: US 2.50 cents per share (restated)). Included in EPS in the
previous reporting period is a gain on acquisition relating to the
Tennant Consolidated Mining Group Proprietary Limited (Tennant company)
transaction. This gain amounting to US$28.0 million is excluded from
HEPS
-- Moved listing of the Group's ordinary shares from AIM to the Main Market
of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) in October 2025 . Inclusion in the LSE
FTSE250 Index in December 2025
-- Board-approved interim cash dividend of ZAR 12,000.00 cents per share
(or US 0.74488 cents per share at an indicative exchange rate of
US$/ZAR:16.11 or 0.54745 pence per share at an indicative exchange rate
of GBP/ZAR:21.92)
-- All-in sustaining cost (AISC®) of production for FY26H1 of US$1,874 /oz
at US$/ZAR:17.37, impacted by rand currency strength, an increase in
employee share-based payment expenses and higher royalty costs
o Notably, the Group's lower-cost operations, which account for 88% of
Group production, recorded AISC® of US$1,700 /oz
o FY26 full-year AISC® guidance revised to between US$1,820 /oz and
US$1,870 /oz at US$/ZAR:17.00, lower than the AISC® for the first six
months, due to increased forecast production in FY26H2 and a continued
focus on cost control
-- The Group is positioned to continue its trajectory of near-term,
sector-leading and fully funded production growth
o Tennant Mines is expected to grow gold production by approximately
100% (to approximately 100Koz per annum) over the next three years,
while Mogale Tailings Retreatment's (MTR) Soweto Cluster bankable
feasibility study is to be completed in the coming months
o Barberton Mines' Royal Sheba project (6.9Mt at 3.24g/t for 714Koz in
Mineral Resources) is scheduled for expedited execution later this
year, following an independent review of the current feasibility study
o Additionally, Evander Mines' Poplar project (28.7Mt at 6.99g/t for
6.46Moz in Mineral Resources) will undergo an advanced prefeasibility
study (PFS) within the calendar year to assess potential access
approaches for this shallow deposit.
Production
-- Barberton Mines' underground production increased by 5.2% to 32,774oz
(FY25H1: 31,142oz), and Barberton Tailings Retreatment Plant (BTRP)
production remained stable at 7,143oz (FY25H1: 7,544oz)
-- The Elikhulu Tailings Retreatment Plant (Elikhulu) achieved excellent
results, with production increasing by 14.5% to 29,450oz (FY25H1:
25,725oz)
-- Production at Evander Mines' operations improved substantially by 87.3%
to 21,640oz (FY25H1: 11,551oz). Production in FY26H2 is expected to
increase further with higher mined tonnages
-- The MTR operation performed at steady state following its ramp-up in
FY25, with production of 21,729oz, approximately 10% lower than
expected, as a result of mined grades and recoveries impacted by the
current mined area
-- Tennant Mines achieved steady-state throughput, with production of
15,560oz (including gold equivalent ounces from the sale of copper
concentrate). Production in FY26H2 is anticipated to increase to
approximately 30,000oz as higher-grade ore from open pits replaces
lower-grade feed from the Crown Pillar Stockpile.
Safety
-- Total recordable injury frequency rate improved substantially to 4.74
(FY25H1: 8.25) per million man hours
-- Lost time injury frequency rate improved to 1.22 (FY25H1: 1.54) per
million man hours
-- Reportable injury frequency rate remained stable at 0.61 (FY25H1: 0.55)
per million man hours
-- A fatal incident was recorded at Evander Mines' underground operations
in July 2025 (as reported in the FY25 final results)
-- Commendably, Elikhulu and MTR surface operations achieved zero lost time
and reportable injuries.
Costs and Cost Guidance
-- AISC® of production for FY26H1 of US$1,874 /oz at US$/ZAR:17.37 (previous
FY26 full-year guidance: US$1,525 /oz to US$1,575 /oz at US$/ZAR:18.50),
negatively impacted by:
o the strengthening of the average US$/ZAR exchange rate by 6.1% to
US$17.37 , with an impact of approximately US$115 /oz
o the increase in employee share-based payment expenses, as a result of
an increase of more than 140% in the Company share price from ZAR11.09
(0.4575 pence ) at 30 June 2025 to ZAR26.93 (1.21 pence ) at 31 December
2025 (approximately US$80 /oz)
o third-party material processed at the Evander Mines and MTR operations
during the period, contributing to higher costs, as well as increased
royalty payments due to the higher gold price received
-- AISC® for lower-cost operations accounting for 88% of Group production
at US$1,700 /oz
-- The FY26 full-year AISC® guidance has been revised to US$1,820 /oz to
US$1,870 /oz (at US$/ZAR:17.00) to reflect the effects of the factors
outlined previously, resulting in an increase from the original
forecast; nevertheless, the full-year AISC® is still expected to be
lower than the FY26H1 level due to higher production volumes anticipated
in FY26H2.
Financial
-- Revenue increased by 157.3% to US$487.1 million (FY25H1: US$189.3
million )
-- Net cash generated from operating activities increased by US$174.1
million to US$170.9 million (FY25H1: US$3.2 million net cash used)
-- Adjusted EBITDA® increased to US$245.2 million (FY25H1: US$58.0
million ), and the EBITDA® margin increased to 50.3% (FY25H1: 30.6%)
-- EPS increased by 192.0% to US 7.30 cents per share (FY25H1: US 2.50
cents per share (restated))
-- HEPS increased by 511.7% to US 7.34 cents per share (FY25H1: US 1.20
cents per share). Included in EPS in the previous reporting period is a
gain on acquisition relating to the Tennant company transaction. This
gain amounting to US$28.0 million is excluded from HEPS
-- Profit for the reporting period increased by 211.8% to a record US$147.8
million (FY25H1: US$47.4 million )
-- The Group has now substantially degaged its balance sheet, with a
reduction in net debt® of 69.3% to US$46.2 million , compared to US$150.5
million at 30 June 2025 . At the prevailing gold prices, the Group
expects to be in a net cash position by the end of February 2026 . The
improvement has been achieved notwithstanding the payment of a record
final dividend to shareholders in December 2025

³ During the current reporting period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the comparative reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative reporting period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.
Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Pan African's chief executive officer,
"Pan African's safety, operational and financial performance in the first half of the financial year, together with the boon of record gold prices, has positioned us to deliver outstanding results for the full year. During the reporting period, the Group degreased its balance sheet and is also now further boosting cash returns to shareholders, with the Company initiating an attractive interim dividend payment.
The half-year results demonstrate the success of our strategy of focusing on high-margin, long-life tailings retreatment operations and also the acquisition of the very prospective Tenant Mines in
Lower-cost operations, accounting for 88% of Group production, delivered at an AISC® of
Despite our continued focus on cost control, all-in sustaining unit costs were higher than guided for the reasons detailed in this release. However, we believe that the expected increased gold production in FY26H2 will assist with reducing unit costs, and in terms of AISC®, Pan African remains competitive relative to other producers.
The Group's focus on sustainable and value-enhancing ESG initiatives has again delivered tangible benefits, with our PPA with NOA, together with additional investments into renewable energy projects at Evander Mines, MTR and Tenant Mines, resulting in a likely renewable penetration of more than 60% over the next two years.
Pan African has the ability to continue to deliver very attractive production growth over the next years, specifically internal expansions in
Performance per Operation and Optimisation Initiatives
Barberton Mines
The high-grade underground mines at Barberton Mines (Fairview, Sheba and Consort) are established operations with a capacity to produce approximately 80,000oz of gold per year. The mines boast an excellent long-term safety record. Mining commenced in the Barberton region in the 1880s, and Barberton Mines is one of the oldest continuously operating mining complexes in the world. Pan African's ongoing capital investments, including in renewable energy projects, aim to enhance productivity and improve ore-handling logistics to reduce AISC®. During the reporting period, Barberton Mines' production increased by 5.2% to 32,774oz (FY25H1: 31,142oz) at an AISC® of
A 3 Shaft winder upgrade at Fairview was completed at the beginning of the reporting period, which mitigates unplanned interruptions in production from the lower levels of the mine, resulting in improved output.
Initiatives to improve production at Fairview in the six months ahead also include:
-- mining of multiple platforms on the MRC orebody to improve mining
flexibility – operations are currently active on the high-grade 260 to
262 Platforms, which supplied the bulk of the high-grade tonnes (over
20gt) during the period
-- development into the 263 Platform in the MRC orebody is expected in
FY26Q3
-- additional development on 50 Level to access the up-dip extent of the
Rossiter orebody is in progress.
-- During the reporting period, the Prince Consort (PC) Shaft
infrastructure rehabilitation was completed, allowing access to
higher-grade areas below 30 Level, and mining commenced within the Main
Muiden Reef Shaft 17 Level and PC Shaft 33 Level.
The BTRP produced 7,143oz (FY25H1: 7,544oz) at an AISC® of
Elikhulu
The Elikhulu tailings retreatment operation was commissioned in 2018 and remains one of the lowest-cost gold mining operations in
Elikhulu production increased by 14.5% to 29,450oz in FY26H1 (FY25H1: 25,725oz) at an AISC® of
Drilling of additional sonic holes and the construction of remining infrastructure at the Winkelhaak TSF commenced in the reporting period and represents the last significant capital to be spent at Elikhulu for its remaining LoM of nine years. Feed from the Winkelhaak tailings facility from FY27 will be blended with feed from Leslie/Bracken concurrently, further increasing flexibility and production consistency at this operation. As the resources at Leslie/Bracken are depleted, this infrastructure will be repurposed at Winkelhaak, which will then supply 100% of the plant's feed.
During the reporting period, gold production from 24 Level increased by 87.3% to 21,640oz for FY26H1 (FY25H1: 11,551oz), inclusive of surface sources. AISC® for
The Group's ongoing investment in infrastructure enabled the operation to establish the B raise line on 24 Level at 8 Shaft, which is in the high-grade core of the Kimberley Reef orebody, with the primary other initiatives as follows:
-- Accelerated development of the 24 and 25 Level mining areas, where the
high-grade portion extends further to the east. Development in the A
raise line's crosscut has now intersected the reef
-- Access to 25 Level is being achieved through an on-reef decline layout
from 24 Level footwall infrastructure
-- Commencement of construction of the underground workshop on 24 Level,
with mechanised development towards 25 Level progressing from existing
crosscuts on 24 Level, as well as from the main development
-- Planning of hybrid mining below 24 Level, comprising conventional
stoping and mechanised on-reef development.
Reef intersections from the 24 Level long-inclined borehole drilling on the 25 Level reef horizon confirm the down-dip extension of the orebody and the high-grade ore of the Kimberley Reef, with the following results reported from the drilling:
-- 3,725cmg/t over 76.3cm (or 49g/t)
-- 1,096cmg/t over 17.2cm (or 63.70g/t)
-- 356cmg/t over 19.7cm (or 18.10g/t)
-- 953cmg/t over 17.2cm (or 55.40g/t).
In recent years, the Group has allocated substantial capital expenditure to extend the LoM at Evander Mines to maintain an average gold production profile of more than 60,000oz per annum at steady-state production for another 11 years under the current mine plan. The capital required for FY27 has reduced to between

The environmental impact assessment and water use licence processes are progressing in accordance with the project schedule, with approvals expected during 2026.
The MTR operation commenced with concurrent rehabilitation programmes during its construction phase and has achieved significant milestones to date, with the successful re-establishment of wetlands and improved air and water quality. This has positively impacted local communities in the area as well as the Mogale region. The construction of the STR circuit will bring forward the original Soweto Cluster TSF remining schedule and rehabilitation programmes.
The Company maintains the clearing of silted drainage channels around affected Soweto TSFs to confine the overflow of excess rainwater to dedicated evaporation ponds, eradicating the run-off that previously affected natural water systems. Pan African has also commenced with the application of a newly developed binding agent that has reduced the amount of airborne particulate matter during windy conditions at the Soweto TSFs, which will measurably improve the air quality in the area.

This orebody is notable for its surface outcrop, making it a shallow, large-scale, free-milling (non-refractory) deposit that offers favourable extraction conditions. The deposit boasts a Mineral Resource of 6.9Mt at a grade of 3.24g/t (0.7Moz gold), extending over an 800m strike length and widths of up to 15m. Importantly, the orebody remains open both at depth and along strike, indicating the potential for further resource delineation and future growth.
Ore production from
Poplar
The Group has commenced with an update to the existing Poplar project PFS to determine the optimal access and extraction methods to mine 100,000oz of gold annually. The initial designs cater for two twin shafts as access points to the orebody, while the reef level mining is planned as a conventional Witwatersrand mining method with footwall development, where breast stoping will be employed. This updated PFS will inform the basis of a full feasibility study.

Cost of production
Production costs are incurred in South African rand and Australian dollar, the functional currencies of the Group's main operating entities, with translations to US$ impacted by the average US/A$ exchange rates, with the US/A$ remaining consistent relative to the previous reporting period. The Group's production costs increased by 64.4% in US$ terms, primarily due to Tenant Mines and MTR reaching steady state in the current reporting period. The increases in cost of production due to Tenant Mines and MTR reaching steady state were 25.1% and 18.4%, respectively. The explanations below exclude the impact of the exchange rate movements.
-- Mining and processing costs: increased by 84.9%, of which 32.6% relates
to Tenant Mines and 21.0% to MTR, an increase of 18.5% due to additional
ore purchased, predominantly from the recommencement of the Evander
Mines surface sources business, a 9.4% increase due to gold concentrate
purchases at Barberton Mines and above-inflation cost increases in
reagents
-- Salaries and wages: increased by 11.5% primarily as a result of an 8.6%
increase related to Tenant Mines and 9.8% to MTR, and annual increases
in salary costs, offset by a reduction in salary costs at Barberton
Mines due to the section 189A restructuring
-- Electricity costs: increased by 40.6%, following a 12.7% regulatory
increase and a 19.8% increase due to the electricity consumption at MTR
and 2% at Tenant Mines, increased consumption at Elikhulu relating to
the construction of the Winkelhaak pump station and the phase 2 water
treatment plant, offset by the use of solar energy at the Evander Mines
and Fairview solar plants
-- Engineering: increased by 98.1%, of which 45.9% relates to Tenant Mines
and 26.0% to MTR, and approximately 26.0% relating to additional repairs
and maintenance carried out on infrastructure at Evander Mines and
Barberton Mines
-- Realisation costs: increased by 176.1%, of which 54.1% relates to Tenant
Mines and 19.1% related to MTR, coupled with additional gold recovered
from by-products at Barberton Mines
-- Security costs: increased by 21.7%, of which 1.0% relates to Tenant
Mines and 13.7% related to MTR, and inflation-related increases at the
other operations.
The impact of these increases, together with higher gold production and the gold price received, resulted in the gross profit margin increasing from 28.5% to 54.3%, period-on-period.
Adjusted EBITDA®, increased to
Depreciation and Amortisation
The depreciation and amortisation charge included in cost of production increased by 63.1%, primarily due to five months of steady-state production at Tenant Mines and full-period steady-state production at MTR.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased by 199.7%, primarily driven by a 162.4% rise in the share-based payment expense following an increase in the share price. In addition, corporate costs increased due to higher costs associated with the transfer to the Main Board of the LSE.

¹ During the current interim reporting period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the comparative reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative reporting period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the period ended 31 December
1. Basis of Preparation and Material Accounting Policies
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended
The financial information set out in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the period ended
The interim results have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the
Going concern
The Group closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk by means of a centralised treasury function. Cash forecasts are regularly produced and sensitivities run for different scenarios including, but not limited to, changes in commodity prices and different production profiles from the Group's operations.
The Group had
Based on the current status of the Group's finances, having considered going concern forecasts and reasonably possible downside scenarios, using a gold price of
The board has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the
Alternative performance measures
The Group makes reference to APMs in conjunction with IFRS Accounting Standards when assessing its reported financial performance, financial position and cash flows. APMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Further information on APMs is provided on pages 66 to 77.
2. Significant Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with
These judgements and estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, historical experience, expected future conditions and other factors. Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the financial statements.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Significant judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statement is as follows:
Cash-generating units
The Group defines a cash-generating unit (CGU) as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows largely independent of cash flows from other assets or a group of assets. The allocation of assets to a CGU requires judgement.
The Group's CGUs have been determined as follows:
-- Barberton Mines' underground operations: Underground operations
(Fairview, Sheba and Consort) are reliant on the Fairview BIOX® plant
for processing, and these operations have been grouped together as a
single CGU
-- BTRP: The BTRP has the ability to treat and smelt gold independently of
the Fairview BIOX® plant and is independent of the underground
operations, resulting in the BTRP representing a single CGU
-- Egoli project: A drilling programme and feasibility study were completed
in September and November 2017 , respectively. Dewatering in accordance
with the phased development approach has commenced. The Egoli project
will be developed as a project independent of Evander Mines' underground
operations resulting in the project representing a separate CGU
-- Elikhulu: The surface mining operation has been constructed in a manner
such that it is independent of Evander Mines' underground operations,
resulting in Elikhulu being determined as a single CGU
-- Evander Mines' underground operations: This CGU includes 7 Shaft, 8
Shaft and the run-of-mine circuit at the Kinross metallurgical plant and
8 Shaft pillar mining, which are independent of Elikhulu and the Egoli
project, resulting in them representing a single CGU
-- Agricultural ESG projects: This CGU comprises Barberton Blue Proprietary
Limited (Barberton Blue) as well as other small-scale agricultural
projects in Barberton Mines' host community areas
-- Solar projects: Currently consist of the solar plants located at Evander
Mines, the solar plant of Barberton Mines and the extension of Evander
Mines' solar plant
-- MTR operation: This CGU comprises MTR, Mogale Gold Proprietary Limited
(Mogale Gold) and Mintails SA Soweto Cluster Proprietary Limited and
consists of a tailings retreatment plant commissioned in October 2024
-- Tenant Mines: This CGU is located in the Northern Territory of Australia
and complements the Group's current portfolio of high-margin, long-life
surface mining operations
-- Sudan : This CGU consists of exploration assets and five prospecting
concessions (or exploration licences) in north-eastern Sudan .
Significant assumptions and estimates
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at
Cash flow projections and key assumptions
Expected future cash flows used in discounted cash flow models are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. Cash flow projections are significantly affected by a number of factors, including Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, and economic factors such as commodity prices, discount rates, estimates of production costs and future capital expenditure.
Cash flow projections are based on financial forecasts and LoM plans incorporating key assumptions as detailed below:
-- Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves: Mineral Reserves and, where
considered appropriate, Mineral Resources reflected within projected
cash flows, based on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves statements
(in accordance with the SAMREC Code for South African properties) and
exploration and evaluation work undertaken by appropriately qualified
persons. Mineral Resources are included where management has a high
degree of confidence in their economic extraction, despite additional
evaluation still being required prior to meeting the required confidence
to convert to Mineral Reserves
-- Commodity prices: Commodity prices are based on the latest internal
forecasts, benchmarked to external sources of information, to ensure
that they are within the range of available analyst forecasts. Where
existing sales contracts are in place, the effects of such contracts or
hedging arrangements are considered in determining future cash flows
-- Discount rates: Value in use and fair value, less cost of disposal,
projections are sensitive to changes in the discount rate
-- Operating costs, capital expenditure and other operating factors:
Operating costs and capital expenditure are based on financial budgets.
Cash flow projections are based on LoM plans and internal management
forecasts. Cost assumptions incorporate management experience and
expectations, as well as the nature and location of the operation and
the risks associated therewith (for example, the grade of Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves varying significantly over time and
unforeseen operational issues).
Deferred tax rate applied within the Group
South African income tax on gold mining income is determined according to the gold formula that takes into account the taxable income and revenue from gold mining operations. The Group prepares nominal cash flow models to calculate the expected average income tax rate over the LoM. Judgement was applied in the determination of the future expected deferred tax rates of the Group's mining entities.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The rates used to calculate deferred tax are based on the current estimate of future profitability when temporary differences will be utilised. The respective rates are calculated based on management's best estimate through which the temporary difference will be realised over the life of the mining operations.
3. Segment Analysis
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Pan African executive committee (Exco). The operating segments of the Group are determined based on the reports used to make strategic decisions that are reviewed by Exco. Exco considers the business principally according to the location and nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit.
The reportable segments comprise the following:
Mining operations

-- Tenant Mines is located in the Northern Territory of Australia and
complements the Group's current portfolio of high-margin, long-life
surface remining operations. The segment includes Yungatha Asset
Holdings Proprietary Limited (Yungatha) which operates a motel in the
Tenant Creek region to support the workforce requirements of local
mining companies, including Tenant company employees.
Other operations
-- Exploration assets consist of five prospecting concessions (or
exploration licences) in north-eastern Sudan (the Block 12 concessions),
covering an area of almost 1,100km² and located approximately 70km
north-west of Port Sudan

13. Acquisitions and Disposals
13.1 Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions during the current reporting period.
13.2 Measurement period adjustment – previous reporting period acquisitions
Acquisition of Tenant company
The accounting for the business combination was completed by the end of the 2025 reporting period. Provisional amounts of identifiable assets recognised and reported as at 31 December 2024 have been revised, resulting in a restatement of the comparative 2024 statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The fair values of exploration assets, mineral rights, capital under construction and long-term inventory were revised during the measurement period, following the refinement and completion of production schedules and LoM plans.
The fair values were revised as follows: Exploration assets decreased by US$1.3 million, mineral rights increased by US$15.6 million, capital under construction increased by US$1.7 million and long-term inventory decreased by US$7.3 million with a resultant increase in the deferred tax liability of US$4.2 million.
In addition, the initial 8% interest equity held by Pan African was remeasured to a revised fair value as at the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustment resulted in an increase in the fair value of US$1.6 million.
The net effect of the above measurement period adjustments resulted in a total increase in the bargain purchase gain of US$2.8 million.
Acquisition of Tenant company continued
The finalised fair values of the assets and liabilities of Tenant company at the date of acquisition are as follows:

¹ At the end of the current and previous reporting periods, trade receivables had an expected credit loss of nil. Trade and other receivables exclude prepayments, tax receivable and indirect taxes (value-added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax receivable).
² Trade and other payables exclude VAT payable, accruals for employees benefits and leave pay liabilities.
14.2 Fair value of financial instruments
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.
Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments are measured at fair value and are grouped into Levels 1 and 2, based on the extent to which fair value is observable.
The levels are determined as follows:
Level 1 – Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – Fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market data.

¹ The Tenant company business combination was accounted for on a provisional basis in the previous interim reporting period. The accounting was complete by 30 June 2025. Provisional amounts presented as at 31 December 2024 were revised to reflect the measurement period adjustments made. Refer to note 13.2.
² During the current interim period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the previous reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.

-- Intra-Group loans have no specific repayment terms, are repayable on
demand and bear interest in relation to the treasury function provided
by Funding Company
-- Intra-Group PAR Gold reciprocal dividend – refer to the condensed
consolidated statement of changes in equity
-- Inter-company electricity charge between Evander Solar Solutions
Proprietary Limited and Evander Mines and Barberton Mines for the
electricity produced by the solar renewable energy plant and utilised by
Elikhulu and Barberton Mines, respectively – refer to the segment
analysis note 3.
No further material related party transactions occurred, either with third parties or with Group entities, during the current or previous reporting period.
18. Litigation and Claims
Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment – alleged offences in the Barberton Nature Reserve
On 22 May 2025, the South African state served a summons on Barberton Mines and its environmental health and safety manager for alleged contraventions of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 57 of 2003, and related regulations. The charges relate to (i) conducting commercial prospecting in a nature reserve and (ii) the unauthorised widening and upgrading of a road within a nature reserve. Barberton Mines denies the merits of the charges. On 5 December 2025, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) rejected Barberton Mines' representation. Barberton Mines' legal counsel is currently in the process of drafting an appeal document to appeal the NPA's decision. We believe the likelihood of any outflow of economic benefit is remote.
Barberton Mines land claim
Barberton Mines is aware of a land claim, lodged by individuals purporting to be part of communities surrounding Barberton Mines'
19. Events After the Reporting Period
Subsequent to the reporting period, the board approved an interim gross cash dividend of ZAR280.0 million (approximately US$17.4 million). The interim dividend per share was calculated on 2,333,671,529 total shares in issue, equating to ZAR12.00000 cents per share or 0.54745 pence per share or US 0.74488 cents per share. This dividend has not been recognised as a liability at 31 December 2025.
The Group identified no other material events after the reporting period.
Other Items
Alternative Performance Measures
Introduction
When assessing and discussing Pan African's reported financial performance, financial position and cash flows, management makes reference to APMs of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that are not defined or specified under IFRS Accounting Standards.
The APMs include financial APMs, non-financial APMs and ratios, as described below.
-- Financial APMs: These financial measures are usually derived from the
annual financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
IFRS Accounting Standards. Certain financial measures cannot be directly
derived from the financial statements as they contain additional
information such as financial information from earlier periods or profit
estimates or projections. The accounting policies applied when
calculating APMs are, where relevant and unless otherwise stated, the
same as those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2025.
-- Non-financial APMs: These measures incorporate certain non-financial
information that management believes is useful when assessing the
performance of the Group.
-- Ratios: Ratios may be calculated using any of the APMs referred to
above, IFRS Accounting Standards measures or a combination of APMs and
IFRS Accounting Standards measures. APMs are not uniformly defined by
all companies and may not be comparable with APM disclosures made by
other companies, and they exclude:
-- measures defined or specified by an applicable reporting framework such
as revenue, profit or loss or earnings per share
-- physical or non-financial measures such as number of employees, number
of subscribers, revenue per unit measure (when the revenue figures are
extracted directly from the annual financial statements) or social and
environmental measures such as gas emissions, breakdown of workforce by
contract or geographical location
-- information on major shareholdings, acquisition or disposal of own
shares and total number of voting rights
-- information to explain the compliance with the terms of an agreement or
legislative requirements such as lending covenants or the basis of
calculating director or executive remuneration.
APMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Purpose of APMs
The Group uses APMs to improve the comparability of information between reporting periods and reporting segments by adjusting for uncontrollable or once-off factors which impact IFRS Accounting Standards measurements and disclosures to aid the user of this report in understanding the activity taking place across the Group's portfolio. Their use is driven by characteristics particularly visible in the mining sector.
-- Earnings volatility: The sector is characterised by significant
volatility in earnings driven by movements in macroeconomic factors,
primarily commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. This volatility
is outside the control of management and can mask underlying changes in
performance. As such, when comparing year-on-year performance,
management excludes certain non-recurring items to aid comparability and
then quantifies and isolates uncontrollable factors to improve
understanding of the controllable portion of variances.
-- Nature of investment: Investments in the sector are typically
capital-intensive and occur over several years requiring significant
funding before generating cash. These investments are often made through
debt and equity providers, and the nature of the Group's ownership
interest affects how the financial results of these operations are
reflected in the Group's results, for example, whether full
consolidation (subsidiaries), consolidation of the Group's attributable
assets and liabilities (joint operations) or equity-accounted
(associates and joint ventures).
-- Portfolio complexity: At the reporting period, the Group's operating
portfolio remains largely in commodities, mainly gold, which accounts
for 99.5% of the Group's revenue at the end of the reporting period. The
cost, value of and return from each saleable unit (such as tonne or
ounce) therefore does not differ materially between each operating
business. This makes understanding both the overall portfolio
performance and the relative performance of each mining operation on a
like-for-like basis less challenging.
Consequently, APMs are used by the board and management for planning and reporting. A subset is also used by management in setting director and management remuneration. The measures are also used in discussions with the investment analyst community and credit rating agencies.

All-in costs
Includes additional costs which relate to the growth of the Group. AIC starts with AISC and adds additional costs which relate to the growth of the Group, including non-sustaining capital expenditure not associated with current operations and costs such as voluntary severance pay.
AISC and AIC are reported on the basis of a ZAR/A$ per kilogramme of gold and US$ per ounce of gold. The US$ equivalent is converted at the average exchange rate applicable for the current reporting period as disclosed in the Group's production summary table on pages 78 to 83. A kilogramme of gold is converted to an ounce of gold at a ratio of 1:32.1509.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of Pan African's cost of production as calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards to AISC and AIC for the reporting period FY26H1 and FY25H1. The equivalent of a rand per kilogramme and US$ per ounce basis is disclosed in the Group's production summary table on pages 78 to 83.
