TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (CURRENT REPORTING 
PERIOD) 
 
In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a 
listed company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it is 
satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial 
results for the period to be reported upon next, will differ by at least 20% 
from those of the six months ended 31 December 2021 (Corresponding Reporting 
Period). 
 
Pan African's presentation currency is the United States dollar (US$). The US$/ 
ZAR exchange rate affects the reporting of the Group's results in US$. The 
average US$/ZAR exchange rate is used in translating ZAR financial performance 
into US$. 
 
During the Current Reporting Period, the average US$/ZAR exchange rate was US$/ 
ZAR:17.33 (2021: US$/ZAR:15.04), and the closing US$/ZAR exchange rate as at 31 
December 2022 was US$/ZAR:17.01 (2021: US$/ZAR:16.00). 
 
The year-on-year change in the average and closing exchange rates of 15.2% and 
6.3%, respectively, must be considered when comparing period-on-period results. 
The weighted average number of outstanding shares as at 31 December 2022 was 
1,916,503,988 shares (2021: 1,928,329,479 shares). 
 
Pan African advises shareholders that its headline earnings per share (HEPS) 
and earnings per share (EPS) for the Current Reporting Period are expected to 
be between US 1.40 cents per share and US 1.64 cents per share, compared to US 
2.39 cents per share for the Corresponding Reporting Period, a decrease of 
between 31% and 41%. 
 
The decreases in EPS and HEPS for the Current Reporting Period, relative to the 
Corresponding Reporting Period, are largely as a result of an 19.2% decrease in 
gold revenue to US$156.5 million (2021: US$193.6 million), attributable to the 
following: 
 
  * gold sold decreased by 15.6% to 90,439oz (2021: 107,142oz), following 
    record production achieved in the comparative period, and 
  * the average US$ gold price received decreased by 4.4% to US$1,725/oz (2021: 
    US$1,804/oz).
