Insights

Stable production and pricing offset higher costs; capex ramp continues.

DRDGOLD lifted production to 1,191 kg on improved yield (0.184 g/t) while ore milled fell. A sustained price of R1,943,398/kg supported revenue of R2,254.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of R1,093.0 million. These moves are incremental, reflecting operational steadiness rather than a step-change.

Unit costs rose: cash operating costs reached R955,086/kg and AISC R1,066,287/kg, citing labour, reagents, winter tariffs, and site clean-up. Growth capex of R781.1 million focused on Far West Gold Recoveries Phase II (Regional TSF and DP2 Plant expansion), indicating continued investment through the current fiscal year ending 30 June 2026.

Liquidity remains sound with cash of R1,049.1 million and no debt after paying a R345.7 million dividend and funding R751.8 million capex. Actual impact will hinge on sustaining current yields and executing Phase II within budget.

Revenue for the quarter remained stable in comparison to the previous quarter, increasing marginally by 2% to R2,254.9 million, mainly as a result of a sustained high gold price of R1,943,398/kg and an increase in gold sold to 1,158kg, increasing by 16kg quarter on quarter. Despite a 3% decrease in tonnage throughput, gold production increased by 2% from the previous quarter to 1,191kg, primarily due to a higher yield at 0.184g/t which is 0.008g/t higher than the previous quarter.

Cash operating costs per kilogram of gold sold remained stable, increasing marginally by 3% quarter on quarter to R955,086/kg. The increase in cash operating costs was primarily driven by annual labour increases at both operations and higher reagent costs (primarily lime and cyanide) at Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited. Electricity costs increased as a result of two months of winter tariffs, which Eskom charges between June and August each year, included in this quarter. Far West Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited incurred additional machine hire costs relating to the Driefontein 5 reclamation site clean-up. Cash operating costs per tonne of material increased by 8% from the previous quarter to R179/t due to the cost drivers described above and a decrease in tonnage throughput.

All-in sustaining costs per kilogram was R1,066,287/kg, increasing quarter on quarter mainly due to the increase in cash operating costs per kilogram detailed above, despite the decrease in sustaining capital expenditure. The prior quarter all-in sustaining costs included a credit adjustment related to the change in rehabilitation estimate that is assessed annually. All-in costs per kilogram was R1,745,213/kg, increasing quarter on quarter due to an increase in growth capital expenditure in comparison to the previous quarter, mainly relating to the Far West Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited Phase II project, which includes the construction of the Regional Tailings Storage Facility and DP2 Plant expansion.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% from the previous quarter to R1,093.0 million primarily due to the increase in gold sold and the accompanying higher gold price received.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by R257.1 million to R1,049.1 million as at 30 September 2025 (30 June 2025: R1,306.2 million) after paying the final cash dividend of R345.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2025 and capital expenditure (including prepayments towards capital items) of R751.8 million incurred during the quarter. The Company remains debt free as at 30 September 2025.

The high gold price has increased liquidity and cash generated during the current quarter which will, inter alia, be applied towards the Company’s extended capital expenditure programme for financial year ending 30 June 2026.
