Sasol Limited (NYSE:SSL) released its audited financial results for FY2025, showing mixed performance amid challenging market conditions. The company's free cash flow increased 75% to R12.6 billion, while turnover decreased 9% to R249 billion. Headline earnings per share (HEPS) improved 93% to R35.13, and basic earnings per share rose to R10.60 from a loss of R69.94 in the previous year.
The company recorded total impairments of R20.7 billion, significantly lower than R74.9 billion in the prior year. Net debt excluding leases declined 13% to R65.0 billion.

Sasol Limited (NYSE:SSL) has released its trading statement for the year ended June 30, 2025, announcing significant earnings improvements. The company expects Earnings Per Share (EPS) to increase by over 100% to between R7.00 and R12.00, compared to the prior year's loss of R69.94.

These gains were partially offset by a 15% decline in average Rand per barrel oil prices and a 3% decrease in sales volumes.
