Notes to the reviewed condensed group annual financial statements
1. CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Exxaro, a public company incorporated in South Africa, is a diversified resources group with interests in the coal (controlled and non-controlled), energy (controlled) and ferrous (controlled and non-controlled) markets. These reviewed condensed group financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 (condensed financial statements) comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) and the group’s interest in associates and joint ventures.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and contain the information required by the JSE Listings Requirements for condensed financial statements and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require condensed financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS ® Accounting Standards) (as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB ® )), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, Financial Pronouncements (as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council), and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides (as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee).
The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of Mr PA Koppeschaar CA(SA), SAICA registration number: 00038621.
The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The condensed financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, share-based payments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value.
The condensed financial statements of the Exxaro group were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 12 March 2024.
2.2 Judgements and estimates
Management made judgements and applied estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements and the key source of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER COMPLIANCE MATTERS
The accounting policies applied are in terms of IFRS Accounting Standards and are consistent with those of the previous financial year. A number of new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards became effective for the current year. The group did not have to make any significant changes to its accounting policies nor make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.
3.1 Impact of new, amended or revised standards issued but not yet effective
New IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations issued, that are relevant to the group, but not yet effective on 31 December 2023, have not been early adopted, except for the amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements relating to classification of liabilities as current or non-current as well as non-current liabilities with covenants. The early adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the group. The group continuously evaluates the impact of these standards and amendments.

6. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the reportable operating segments. The chief operating decision maker has been defined as the executive committees of the group. Segments reported are based on the group’s different commodities and operations.
In line with reporting trends, emphasis is placed on controllable costs. Indirect corporate costs are reported on a gross level in the other reportable segment. The performance of the operating segments is assessed based on EBITDA, which is considered to be a more appropriate performance measure of profitability for the group’s business (refer note 26.1).
The segments, as described below, offer different goods and services, and are managed separately based on commodity, location and support function grouping. The group executive committees review internal management reports on these operating segments at least quarterly.
Coal
The coal operations produce thermal coal, metallurgical coal and SSCC and are made up of the following reportable segments:
Commercial Waterberg: Comprising mainly of the Grootegeluk operation.
Commercial Mpumalanga: Comprising of the Belfast and Leeuwpan operations, as well as the 50% (2022: 50%) joint venture in Mafube with Thungela.
Tied: Comprising of the Matla mine supplying its entire coal supply to Eskom.
Other: Comprising of the other coal affiliated operations, including mines in closure and a 10.26% (2022: 10.26%) equity interest in RBCT.
The export revenue and related export cost items are allocated between the coal reportable segments and disclosed based on the origin of the initial coal production.
Energy
The energy operations generate electricity from renewable energy technology. The energy reportable segment comprises mainly of the Cennergi controlled operation.
Ferrous
The ferrous operations are made up of the following reportable segments:
Alloys: Comprising of the FerroAlloys operation which manufactures ferrosilicon.
Other: Comprising mainly of the 20.62% (2022: 20.62%) equity interest in SIOC.
Other
The other operations of the group are made up of the following reportable segments:
Base metals: Comprising of the 26% (2022: 26%) equity interest in Black Mountain.
Other: Comprising mainly of the corporate office (rendering corporate management services), the Ferroland agricultural operation, the 25.85% (2022: 25.85%) equity interest in Insect Technology and the 28.01% (2022: 28.01%) equity interest in LightApp.

20.1 Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the group can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

1 Tax on Chifeng amounts to R8.66 million (2022: R17.61 million).
Transfers
The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 nor between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation process applied
The fair value computations of the investments are performed by the group’s strategic finance department, reporting to the finance director, on a six-monthly basis. The valuation reports are discussed with the chief operating decision maker and the audit committee in accordance with the group’s reporting governance.
Current derivative financial instruments
Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on market quotes. These quotes are assessed for reasonability by discounting estimated future cash flows using the market rate for similar instruments at measurement date.
Environmental rehabilitation funds, portfolio investments and deposit facilities
Level 2 fair values for debt instruments held in the environmental rehabilitation funds, portfolio investments and deposit facilities are based on quotes provided by the financial institutions at which the funds are invested at measurement date.
Non-current cash flow hedge derivative: interest rate swops
Level 2 fair values for interest rate swaps are based on valuations provided by the financial institutions with whom the swaps have been entered into, and take into account credit risk. The valuations are assessed for reasonability by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on observable ZAR swap curves.
Current cash flow hedge derivatives: forward exchange contracts
Level 2 fair values for FECs designated as hedging instruments are based on valuations provided by the financial institutions with whom the FECs have been entered into, and take into account credit risk. The valuations are assessed for reasonability by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on observable ZAR/US$ forward rates.
Valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values within Level 3 of the hierarchy
Chifeng is classified within a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no quoted market price or observable price available for this investment. This unlisted investment is valued as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, using a DCF model. The valuation technique is consistent to that used in previous reporting periods.
20.2 Hedge accounting: Cash flow hedges
The following tables detail the financial position and performance of the cash flow hedges for interest rate risk exposure and foreign currency risk exposure at the end of the reporting period and their related hedged items.

On 23 November 2023, Exxaro received service of an application seeking the permission of the High Court of South Africa to certify classes for purposes of a class action for damages against Exxaro and two of its subsidiaries, being Exxaro Coal Proprietary Limited and Exxaro Coal Mpumalanga Proprietary Limited, as well as its joint venture, being Mafube. The application is brought by 27 applicants, comprising of current and former mine workers who state they have contracted coal mine dust lung disease, alternatively, by the dependants of mineworkers who’s deaths they state are probably attributable to coal mine dust lung disease, contracted on certain coal mines during specified time periods. They seek to hold the respondents liable on the basis that the respondents are alleged to have owned, controlled, managed or operated the mines or employed the mineworkers at those mines.
Following legal advice, Exxaro delivered its notice of intention to oppose the certification application. Exxaro will continue to address the claim in a responsible manner.
In August 2023, a farmer adjacent to the Durnacol mine-in-closure in KwaZulu-Natal reported white precipitate observed in the Kalbas river as well as in underground water surfacing in that area. After investigation by Exxaro internal specialists, it was confirmed that decanting commenced in that area. Even though an obligation to treat the water existed on 31 December 2023, the best water-treatment plan for Durnacol is still being investigated making the measurement and timing of any possible outflows uncertain.
The timing and occurrence of any possible outflows of the contingent liabilities are uncertain.

26. SUPPLEMENTARY NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
26.1 EBITDA
Management has presented the performance measure EBITDA because it monitors this performance measure at a consolidated level and it believes that this measure is relevant to an understanding of the group’s financial performance. EBITDA is defined as net operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, impairment charges or impairment reversals and net losses or gains on the disposal of assets and investments (including translation differences recycled to profit or loss).
Net operating profit is reconciled to EBITDA as follows:
