Commentary
Introduction
Subdued platinum group metal (PGM) prices continued to affect the platinum industry, and together with escalating cost
pressures and industrial relations disruptions have had a severe impact on Implats’ operating and financial performance
for the year ended 30 June 2014. While the unprecedented five-month industry strike at Impala Rustenburg was resolved
with a negotiated wage settlement on 24 June 2014, it severely impacted its operational performance.
Despite the impact of the strike, the operations outside the Rustenburg area, specifically Zimplats, Mimosa and Two
Rivers, all performed admirably and delivered good results. Throughout the strike period, normal deliveries continued to
key customers, albeit at reduced levels in the last two months. In particular, the South African market remained
adequately stocked.
A realignment of strategic imperatives including, safety, health, productivity and profitability is currently being
undertaken. The Group has committed significant time and resources to the Rustenburg operations to ensure an uninterrupted
return to work and a safe and successful operational start-up. The final assessment of the strike effect indicates
total lost production, compared to plan, has amounted to 312 000 platinum ounces to June 2014.
Safety review
During the year, the Group’s fatal injury frequency rate (FIFR) improved by 33.8% to 0.043 per million man-hours
worked, a significant achievement given the 25.3% improvement reported in 2013. The lost-time injury frequency rate improved
by 6.9% to 3.92 per million man-hours worked.
The Impala team delivered on its health and safety plans during the first half of the year, but unfortunately
implementation was affected by the protracted strike in the second half of the year. Zimplats, Mimosa, Marula and Two Rivers
delivered a satisfactory health and safety performance.
Regrettably, four colleagues lost their lives on duty during the year and the board and management team has extended
its sincere condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. We remember Mr Osika Chidhakwa, Mr Lebogang Abednego
Moiteri, Mr Khalepile Joseph Matama and Mr Shaun Pelser.
Our safety strategy involves a number of initiatives, which include active participation in the industry CEO
Elimination of Fatalities task team as well as the Mine Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) task teams. These task teams are
focused on falls of ground, mobile machinery and dust in the workplace. We continue to build on changing the culture of
the organisation, improving our supervision and adopting and implementing various technical initiatives, which aim to
improve workplace safety.
Employee relations review
Progress was made across the Group in delivering on employee relations commitments with various initiatives aimed at
improving communication with employees, building supervisors and mine managers’ leadership skills, and ensuring the
success of various change management activities. Unfortunately, many of these initiatives were placed on hold during the
second half of the financial year, which was dominated by efforts to conclude wage negotiations and resolve the strike at
the Rustenburg operation.
Employee relationships were challenged in the Rustenburg area and the breakdown of the wage negotiations with
Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and the subsequent five-month strike came at a profound social,
economic and financial cost to all parties concerned. In seeking to mitigate the safety and health impact of the industrial
action, a health and safety agreement pertinent to the Rustenburg operations was concluded with AMCU paving the way for
advancing an employee relations strategy that will foster a more collaborative environment.
Implats has a committed obligation to advance relationships with employees that was supported by the wage agreements
reached with AMCU, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the United Association of South Africa (UASA). The Group
will be implementing a range of activities over the short and medium term aimed at building better relationships across
the organisation.
Recent developments at Marula point to the possibility of an AMCU majority at the mine and formal meetings structures
have been established for the necessary continued engagement.
Market review (all references to years in this section refer to calendar years)
The platinum and palladium markets remained in deficit on a fundamental basis for a second year driven by reduced
primary supplies from the South African producers. Demand growth, particularly in jewellery and investment, has outpaced
supply. Despite this, abundant above-ground stocks have constrained any upward price movement.
The average price for platinum in 2013 was US$1 487 per ounce, while the average price achieved during the first six
months of 2014 was US$50 per ounce lower at US$1 437 per ounce. The palladium price, on the other hand, which averaged
US$725 per ounce in 2013, increased to US$857 per ounce for the first six months of 2014 indicating healthier demand.
Rhodium averaged US$1 047 per ounce in 2013, which increased to US$1 069 per ounce in the first six months of 2014
reflecting a fundamentally balanced market. The rand depreciation that began in 2012 continued in 2013 and was supportive
of rand prices for PGMs.
The past year has seen positive growth in the global automotive industry as light-duty vehicle sales grew by 3% and
the global market exceeded 83 million vehicle sales for the first time. An estimated 87 million light-duty vehicles are
expected to be sold in 2014, primarily driven by China and supported by the continued economic recovery in North America.
Tightening emission standards were also supportive of demand.
The platinum jewellery market, a significant component of platinum demand, grew by 6% in 2013 and is expected to
achieve a further 5.3% in the current year. Investment growth was underpinned by the South African platinum exchange traded
fund (ETF), which exceeded 900 000 ounces by the end of 2013, and is now the largest fund in the world at more than 1.1
million ounces. The removal of this quantum of metal from the market without any significant impact on the platinum price
highlights the extent of above-ground inventory.
Financial review
Revenue per platinum ounce was 8.2% lower than the previous year at US$2 299 (2013: US$2 505) per ounce. The average
rand/dollar exchange rate achieved of R10.36 to the dollar was 17.6% weaker than the prior year. Consequently, although
the dollar revenue per platinum ounce decreased by 8.2%, the rand revenue per platinum ounce increased by 7.9%.
Group production deteriorated from 1.582 million ounces of platinum to 1.178 million ounces primarily due to the
industrial action at Impala Rustenburg. The higher rand metal prices, assisted by destocking, resulted in revenues reducing
by only R816 million. Group unit costs per platinum ounce, excluding share based compensation, rose by 18% to R19 430 per
platinum ounce. On a normalised basis, adjusting for the savings in operational costs during the strike and the 312 000
ounces of lost platinum production, unit costs would have been R17 308, an increase of 5% on the prior year.
Gross profit was down by R1.47 billion to R3.24 billion and the gross profit margin for the year declined to 11.2%
(2013: 15.8%).
Headline earnings per share was 74% lower at 86 cents (2013: 329 cents) per share. Basic earnings per share was one
cent (2013: 167 cents).
Due to stringent cash preservation measures during the strike, the Group had largely unchanged cash reserves of R4.3
(2013: R4.1) billion at year end. Total borrowings for the Group (including finance leases) were higher at R7.8
(2013: R7.5) billion, leaving the Group in a net debt position at year end of R3.5 billion.
Given the length of the industrial action and concomitant start-up costs in financial year 2015, the board has
resolved not to declare a final dividend for the year as part of its ongoing strategy to preserve cash (2013: 95 cents per
share comprising an interim dividend of 35 cents per share and a final dividend of 60 cents per share).
Operational review
Gross refined platinum production was 25.5% lower at 1.18 (2013: 1.58) million ounces, largely as a result of
the strike at Impala. Mine-to-market production decreased by 18.8% to 0.99 (2013: 1.21) million ounces. At IRS, the
ramp-up of the Phase 2 expansion project at Zimplats in conjunction with toll material from Northam and Platmin was more
than offset by lower deliveries from other third-party customers and production declined by 12% to 767 000 ounces of
platinum.
Group unit costs increased by 17.6% to R19 430 (2013: R16 526) per platinum ounce largely as a result of mining
inflation of 10.8% and the significantly reduced production from Impala. The main contributors to the inflation were wage
increases of 10.7% at the South African operations and power increases of 9.0%. Costs at Impala were reduced to
approximately 30% of the normal operating expenditures during the strike and capital expenditure was contained in line with the
requirement to reduce cash outflows.
Managed mine-to-market operations
IMPALA
The strike severely interrupted a good operational start to the financial year and initiatives to ramp-up production
at the mine over the next five years have been impacted. Ore milled decreased by 43.3% to 6.2 (2013: 10.9) million
tonnes, while refined platinum decreased by 42.0% to 411 000 (2013: 709 200) ounces. Milled head grades (6E) were marginally
higher at 4.34 (2013: 4.32) grams per tonne. Recoveries improved to 87.4% (2013: 85.3%) as a result of better
efficiencies at the tails scavenging plant and lower opencast volumes milled.
Total development activity decreased to 61.3 (2013: 97.4) kilometres, while on-reef development declined by 28.9% to
21.1 (2013: 29.7) kilometres. In the period before the strike commenced, 17.4 kilometres of face was mined at an average
panel length of 24.1 metres and a face advance of 9.9 metres per month. Currently, there is 20.5 kilometres of mineable
face length, which remains a constraint. The key to reversing this situation and improving reserve flexibility is to
optimise development, equipping, construction and ledging activities on existing shafts and at the newly commissioned 20
and 16 shaft complexes.
The impact of the strike, above-inflation wage increases, lower productivity and above-inflation power costs (in
conjunction with lower volumes) all affected unit costs, which increased by 27.8% to R22 036 (2013: R17 241) per refined
platinum ounce.
The protracted industrial action has also led to significant delays in project and development build-up profiles. The
ramp-up to normal production rates will take approximately four months to achieve, which will result in reduced
projected volumes and current indications are that production at Impala will be approximately 575 000 ounces of platinum in
2015. These factors, together with lower metal prices, will result in margins at Impala being under pressure in the short to
medium term.
A comprehensive strategic planning exercise has been initiated to assess the full impact of low PGM prices and the
strike consequences on the profitability at Impala. This is due for completion by December 2014.
ZIMPLATS
Ore milled increased by 26.8% to 5.9 (2013: 4.7) million tonnes due to the increased mining cut and the ramp-up of the
Mupfuti Mine (Portal 3). Platinum in matte increased by 21% to 239 700 (2013: 198 100) ounces. Platinum unit costs in
matte benefited from this increase, partly offset by US dollar inflation of 6.4% (2013: 6.2%), and decreased by 1.2% to
US$1 291 (2013: US$1 307) per ounce. The weaker exchange rate impacted rand unit costs, which increased by 16% to R13 383
(2013: R11 524) per platinum ounce in matte.
A strategic decision was taken to refurbish the Base Metal Refinery (BMR) at Selous as an important first step in a
multi-phased plan for local beneficiation. A prefeasibility study was initiated to establish cost estimates, which
currently are estimated at approximately US$100 million. Project implementation started on 1 July 2014 and is estimated to
take 24 months to complete.
Post-year end, in July 2014, a collapse within a section of the underground working area of the Bimha Mine was
triggered by the accelerated deterioration of ground conditions associated with a major fault, the Mutambara Shear, which
transgresses through the mining area. As a result of the proactive response from the Zimplats management team and the timely
evacuation of all personnel, no injuries or damage of mobile equipment were reported.
By 20 August 2014, ground conditions had continued to deteriorate and as a consequence, it was decided to withdraw all
employees across the rest of the mine. A team of Company and independent advisers has been appointed to conduct
detailed investigations to reengineer and/or arrest the current mine stability concerns. Consequently, there is a possible
production impact of up to 70 000 platinum ounces in 2015.
MARULA
Ore milled increased by 10.2% to 1.8 (2013: 1.6) million tonnes as additional mining crews were employed during the
year. Platinum in concentrate increased by 9.5% to 78 500 (2013: 71 700) ounces in line with higher throughput. Marula’s
costs per platinum ounce in concentrate, increased marginally by 1% mainly due to mining inflation of 7.3%, offset by
increased production. The optimisation of the existing infrastructure over the past few years has provided a solid
foundation to reach 86 000 ounces of platinum by 2015.
IMPALA REFINING SERVICES (IRS)
Third-party refining volumes declined by 48% as 174 800 less ounces were treated due to the termination of the
auto-catalyst recycling contract and the suspension of deliveries from the Everest South, Crocodile River and Smokey Hills
operations, which were placed on care and maintenance due to the prevailing market conditions. As a consequence, overall IRS
platinum production (including mine-to-market operations offtakes) decreased by 12% to 767 000 (2013: 872 300) ounces.
Other mine-to-market operations
MIMOSA
Tonnes milled increased by 3% to 2.45 (2013: 2.38) million for the year and platinum in concentrate increased by 9.9%
to 110 200 ounces. Mimosa’s unit costs decreased by 3.9% from US$1 782 per platinum ounce in concentrate to US$1 713 per
platinum ounce in concentrate mainly due to the increased PGM production levels and cost reduction initiatives. In rand
terms unit costs increased by 13% to R17 768 as a result of the weaker rand/dollar exchange rate.
TWO RIVERS
Tonnes milled were 3.4% higher at 3.3 (2013: 3.2) million for the year and platinum in concentrate increased by 8% to
175 100 (2013: 162 200) ounces. Costs per platinum ounce in concentrate were 2.1% lower at R11 433 (2013: R11 683) per
ounce on the back of higher volumes.
Capital expenditure and progress on major capital projects
Capital expenditure for the year was significantly reduced as a result of the Impala Rustenburg strike and amounted to
R4.4 (2013: R6.3) billion. Expenditure was primarily on the Impala 20 Shaft (R585 million) and 16 Shaft build-up
projects (R782 million), the Impala 17 Shaft sinking project (R555 million) and the Phase 2 mine and concentrator plant
expansion at Zimplats (R668 million).
The new shafts (at Impala) and portal complexes (at Zimplats) are essential to ensuring that the Group regains its
competitive position and benefits from the long-term PGM market fundamentals. All the Impala capital projects will also be
subject to the same replanning and stringent strategic review process that is intended for the operations and this will also be
completed by December 2014.
The 20 Shaft project, which is scheduled to produce 1.7 million tonnes per annum, equivalent to 125 000 ounces of
platinum, achieved 262 000 (2013: 352 000) ore tonnes in the seven-month period before the strike (17 000 platinum ounces).
Build-up to full production has now been delayed from 2018 to 2019.
The 16 Shaft project was successfully and safely commissioned during June 2013 with development and stoping commencing
in the period ahead of the strike. Planned production for 16 Shaft is 2.7 million tonnes per annum or 185 000 ounces of
platinum. The shaft achieved 89 000 (2013: zero) ore tonnes in the seven-month period before the strike resulting in
platinum production of 3 000 ounces. As a result of the strike, slower development to reef, bad ground conditions and
difficulties in reef access development due to the Hex River fault, full production is only expected to be reached in
2020 as opposed to 2018.
17 Shaft is expected to produce 2.7 million tonnes per annum, equating to 180 000 ounces of platinum at full capacity.
The project was affected by contractor performance challenges and was further slowed down during the year as a result of
cash preservation measures relating to the strike. As a consequence, ore reserve development did not commence. First production
from this shaft is now only expected in financial year 2020, which is one year later than previously planned. Ramp-up to full
production is expected to take five years.
At Zimplats, the concentrator plant was successfully commissioned in April 2013 and mining rates improved throughout
the year at the new Mupfuti portal (Portal 3). This new mine achieved 963 000 tonnes and 38 000 ounces of platinum for
the year and is still expected to achieve full production of 2.0 million tonnes per annum and 90 000 ounces of platinum
per annum in 2015.
Sinking at Afplats continued to progress well and the shaft depth at 30 June 2014 was at 1 022 metres. This sinking
programme (phase 1 of the overall project) will continue to a shaft depth of 1 154 metres, which is the natural strategic
decision point to convert to a mechanised layout. A bankable feasibility study is currently in progress on this option.
Mineral resources and mineral reserves
As at 30 June 2014, there has been no material change to the technical information or legal title relating to the
Group’s mineral reserves and resources.
Zimbabwean Government engagement
Management continues to engage with the Government of Zimbabwe in respect of the indigenisation implementation plan,
corporate taxation, royalty dispensation and the commitment to primary beneficiation within Zimbabwe. A commitment has
been made to the government for a first stage refurbishment of the existing Selous-based base metals refinery to treat
Zimplats material.
Prospects
Demand fundamentals remain strong for platinum, palladium and rhodium against the backdrop of both increased
automotive sales and tightening emissions legislation. This, combined with constrained supply, should be positive for PGM prices
in the future. In general, platinum, palladium and rhodium markets are expected to remain in fundamental deficit for the
next three to five years.
Implats’ management, taking direction from the board, are intensely focused on the health and safety of employees
across the Group. Efforts to reenergise and rebuild Impala, increase the volumes at Marula, as well as successfully mitigate
the effect of the Mutambara shear at Zimplats are ongoing. Furthermore, Implats continues to invest in its replacement
projects, which are essential to restore its production profile into the future. In the short term, a strategic review
of Impala’s operations and projects to determine a new way forward is being undertaken.

Notes to the financial information - for the year ended 30 June 2014
1. General information
Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats, Group or Company) is a primary producer of platinum and associated platinum group
metals (PGMs). The Group has operations on the Bushveld Complex in South Africa and the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe, the two
most significant PGM-bearing ore bodies globally.
The Company has its listing on the JSE Limited.
The summarised consolidated financial information was approved for issue on 28 August 2014 by the board of directors.
2. Audit opinion
The consolidated financial statements of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 from which these
summarised consolidated financial statements have been derived have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. Their
unqualified audit opinion is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office. These summarised consolidated
financial statements have themselves not been audited.
3. Basis of preparation
The summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the
JSE Limited’s Listings Requirements (Listings Requirements) and the requirements of the Companies Act, Act 71 of 2008
applicable to summarised financial statements. The Listings Requirements require financial statements to be prepared in
accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial
Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, and to also, as a minimum, contain the information
required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The summarised consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The summarised consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain
financial assets, financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value and liabilities
for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements which are measured with a binomial option model.
The summarised consolidated financial information is presented in South African rand, which is the Company’s functional currency.
4. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements from which the
summarised consolidated financial statements were derived, are in terms of IFRS. The following new standards, amendments to
standards and interpretations have been adopted by the Group as from 1 July 2013:
- IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (revised), IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures (revised), IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of interest in other entities were
issued dealing with consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosure. IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 were subsequently
amended to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of these standards. The Group has adopted these
standards, including the subsequent amendments during the year. The main impact is that Implats now equity accounts for its
investment in the joint venture, Mimosa, which was previously proportionately consolidated (note 7). The accounting policy was
applied retrospectively. The application of IFRS 12 results in more extensive disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
- IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (effective 1 January 2014). The amendment requires additional disclosure on the recoverable amount
of non-financial assets when an impairment loss was recognised. The amendment resulted in additional disclosure in the
consolidated financial statements.
- IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective 1 January 2014). This amendment, regarding novation
of derivatives, allows for the continuation of hedge accounting. The amendment has no impact on the results of the Group.
- IFRIC 21 Levies (effective 1 January 2014). The new interpretation addresses concerns on how to account for levies
based on financial data of a different period from that in which the activity resulting in the payment of the levy occurs.
The new interpretation has no impact on the results of the Group.
5. Segment information
The Group differentiates its segments between mining operations, refining services (which include metals purchased and
toll refined), chrome processing and other.
Management has determined the operating segments based on the business activities and management structure within the
Group. Mimosa, previously included in the mining segment, will in future be reported internally as other mine-to-market
operations and included in the other segment.
Capital expenditure comprises additions to property, plant and equipment (note 6), including additions resulting from
acquisitions through business combinations.
Impala mining segment’s two largest sales customers amounted to 12% and 11% of total sales (June 2013: 13% each).
The statement of comprehensive income shows the movement from gross profit to total profit before income tax.

a plan, including future cash flow, to ensure that adherence to the water management requirements, including treatment
and rehabilitation requirements of the Department of Water Affairs, are met. This could result in a liability and a
corresponding asset in the statement of financial position. Measurement of the liability is currently in progress.
