ROYAL BAFOKENG PLATINUM LIMITED

(Registration number 2008/015696/06)
JSE share code: RBP ISIN: ZAE000149936
("RBPlat" or the "Group")
Trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2011
RBPlat is in the process of finalising its annual financial results for the year
ended 31 December 2011. The Group advises that it anticipates headline earnings
for the year ended 31 December 2011 to be within 5% of the previous
corresponding period (the year ended 31 December 2010).
Consolidated headline earnings per share ("HEPS") for the Group for the year
ended 31 December 2011, is anticipated to reduce to between 153 cents and 172
cents, based on a weighted average number of shares in issue of 163 677 799.
This compares to a HEPS of 191 cents for the previous corresponding period which
was based on a weighted average number of shares in issue of 141 132 832. The
increase in the weighted average number of shares resulted from shares issued in
November 2010, as part of the Initial Public Offering and listing of RBPlat`s
entire issued share capital on JSE Limited.
The Group`s results were also impacted by an amortisation and depreciation
charge related to the fair value adjustment, a non-recurring optimisation
project cost and a non-recurring income inflow from the settlement of
intercompany balances. Based on the latest estimate, after taking account of the
above mentioned items, the Group`s normalised earnings per share for the year
ended 31 December 2011 is anticipated to be between 200 cents and 220 cents per
share.
RBPlat expects to release its annual financial results on or about 28 February
2012.
The information above has not yet been reviewed and reported on by the Group`s
independent external auditors.
