Letter from Chairman and CEO
Dear Shareholder
Steady performance for the December Quarter AngloGold reports a steady
performance for the final quarter of 2003, after the solid results of the
previous quarter, at a time when the strong rand is negatively impacting the
profits of South African export- oriented producers.
Although total cash costs across the company increased by 5% to $249/oz, the
cash costs of the South African operations, measured in local currency terms,
were 1% lower at R60,784/kg, due to improved grades, cost containment and lower
inflation. Similarly, unit costs in Australian dollar terms at Sunrise Dam were
some 13% lower.
Gold production was virtually unchanged for the quarter at 1.39Moz. We are
pleased that the steps taken to overcome technical difficulties at Cripple
Creek & Victor in Colorado and Cerro Vanguardia in Argentina are beginning to
yield results. There were improved production performances at both of those
operations, as well as at Geita, although these were offset by the continuing
grade decline at Morila and a drop off in performance at Kopanang and Mponeng.
Operating profit, adjusted to exclude non- hedge derivatives, was marginally
higher this quarter, at $137m. Similarly adjusted headline earnings, including
a favourable $7m in abnormal items, were 12% higher at $75m, or 34 cents
per share.
For the year ended 31 December 2003, AngloGold"s performance was affected by a
combination of stronger currencies in most of the company"s operating regions
as well as lower ore grade in several of these regions. Unit cash costs were
$68/oz higher, at $229/oz, for the same reasons. Adjusted headline earnings in
2003 were 23% lower than those for the previous year, at $282m, or
127 cents per share.
The gold price reflected the 20% decline in the value of the US dollar against
the euro during 2003 the average spot price for 2003, at $363/oz, was 17%
higher than the average for 2002. Against this background, AngloGold"s net
delta hedge position w as again marginally lower over the fourth quarter, at
8.59Moz, illustrating the company"s continued faith in the strength of the
gold price.
Our mine safety performance for the year 2003 in South Africa was
disappointing, after a 16% improvement in the ost time injury frequency rate
(LTIFR) during the previous year. The LTIFR for 2003 is virtually unchanged
from the 2002 figure, and the fatality frequency rate improved by only 6%.
Fatalities in the South Africa region improved by 40% during the second half of
2003 compared to the first half. If we can continue this trend, a step change
in our safety performance seems possible.
We also announce that AngloGold proposes to pay a final dividend for the year
of R3.35 per share. This gives a total dividend for the year of R7.10, and
continues AngloGold"s practice of paying to shareholders a high proportion of
the company"s earnings, once we have provided for our organic growth
objectives.
Looking ahead: the making of the African global gold company
There has been substantial progress made in the merger of AngloGold and
Ashanti, and we are well on track to create what will be the leading African
gold company and one which will effectively compete with its peers globally.
On 12 December 2003, we announced that AngloGold had entered into a support
agreement with the Government of Ghana in its role as holder of 16.9% of the
share capital of Ashanti Goldfields Company and that it had agreed the terms of
a stability agreement concerning certain fiscal and regulatory undertakings, in
the Government"s role as regulator of Ashanti.
AngloGold has also received confirmation from the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) of the availability of an exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of
the US Securities Act of 1933 that will enable the company to issue AngloGold
shares relating to the merger of AngloGold and Ashanti without registration in
the United States.
Once the required approvals of the Parliament and Government of Ghana have been
received, the scheme documents will be finalised and distributed to Ashanti
shareholders and we expect the transaction to close during April 2004.
Looking ahead to the rest of 2004 and following the completion of this deal
during April, we are anticipating that gold production will increase from
5.6Moz to approximately 6.6Moz. Assuming an exchange rate of R7.00 to the US
dollar, we are expecting unit cash costs to rise to $238/oz and capital
expenditure to increase to $589m.

Review of the gold market
The final quarter of 2003 saw a strong finish to a good year for the
gold price.
The spot price for the metal reached over $417/oz during December and touched
$430/oz in early 2004, although the market has since retraced to around
$410/oz. The average gold price for 2003 of $363/oz was $53 or 17% above the
average price for 2002. The gold price again mirrored moves in the currency
markets, particularly the US dollar exchange rate against the euro, which fell
steadily during the fourth quarter to reach an all -time low of $1.27 to the
euro in December. This reflects a loss in value of almost 20% during 2003. The
rand proved as volatile and the currency moved in a range of almost 20%,
between R6.07 and R7.28 to the US dollar.
GOLD PRICE DRIVERS
The primary mover in gold continues to be strong speculator and investor
interest in the metal, driven by a number of fundamental economic
circumstances. Amongst these circumstances is most certainly the anticipated
further decline in the value of the US dollar. These same influences have
pushed up prices of base metals and other commodities, although the extent of
investor interest in precious metals is relatively high compared with the rest
of the metals sector. The quarter again saw higher levels of open positions on
the New York Commodity Exchange (Comex), reaching an all-time high of 19Moz, or
almost 600t, net long in futures and options contracts combined.
During the final quarter of 2003, the spot gold price tracked the dollar/euro
exchange rate particularly closely. This exchange rate is valuable as an
indicator rather than a determinant of gold price direction, at least in part,
because many of the same economic fundamental issues affect the dollar as they
do the gold market.
INVESTMENT
Investor and speculator interest in gold remained on the rise throughout most
of 2003, reflected particularly in the recorded statistics of Comex. Overall
open interest and the net open position on that exchange are both at all-time
high levels since the exchange commenced trading gold over 20 years ago.
Of particular interest during the final quarter was the launch by the World
Gold Council of the Gold Bullion Securities (GBS) product on the London Stock
Exchange. The GBS is a gold-backed fund enabling institutional and private
investors to invest directly in gold through a traded instrument. This product
followed the launch of a similar fund in Australia earlier in 2003, and the
World Gold Council continues to work on similar prod ucts to offer to investors
in other important financial markets elsewhere. This new product very quickly
took in purchases amounting to 25t of bullion, and has since established
two-way liquidity in the London market.
PHYSICAL
Physical demand for gold continued to suffer in the face of a rising
gold price.
Whilst gold offtake in jewellery for 2003 was off by 7% year-on-year, in the
second half of 2003 alone, demand fell by over 11% compared with 2002. As
usual, India responded immediately to higher prices, and much of the expected
seasonal demand in that region was negated by the Indian trade"s unwillingness
to buy gold in a rising market. With the spot price retracement in mid
-January, some recovery in seasonal buying might still occur in that market.
However, many other gold jewellery markets have also declined in this period.
Lower levels of producer de- hedging added to the reduced demand. After six
quarters of material levels of de -hedging, the second half of 2003 saw
significantly less activity in this area, notwithstanding the announcement late
in 2003 by Barrick Gold Corporation of its intention to cease new hedges, and
to reduce its hedge book. Only a substantial increase in implied net investment
demand helped to balance the physical market.
On the supply side, mine production for 2003 was just slightly more than that
in 2002. However, scrap sales increased again, and at a little less than 1,000t
for 2003, now make up almost a quarter of the supply of gold to the current
market. Central bank sales of 591t in 2003 reached their highest level in a
decade, but there was little negative response in the markets to this level of
selling.
The physical market remains important as it provides a floor of support when
investment interest weakens and prices soften. Whilst making every effort to
encourage investor demand for gold in the current market, attention should also
be paid to the health of the wider physical market in the medium and longer
term.
OFFICIAL SECTOR
The Washington Agreement on sales of gold by European central banks comes to an
end in less than nine months" time. Public statements by a number of senior
European central bank officials at the Dubai meetings of the International
Monetary Fund in 2003 indicate that there is littl e doubt that the agreement
will be renewed, and good reason to expect that the behaviour of the
signatories to this agreement will follow the precedent of the orderly and
responsible behaviour of these banks over the past four years.
CURRENCY
Currency markets were again active. The euro gained 11% against the US dollar
within the quarter, continuing the trend for this year in which the US dollar
has lost 22% against the European currency. Whilst all the evidence points to a
strong recovery in the US economy running well into 2004, any benefit that this
might have for the US currency is negated by the record levels of budget and
current account deficits currently prevailing in the United States, and market
commentators and analysts expect the US currency to weaken in the year ahead up
to a range of $1.35 - $1.40 to the euro. The one element that might temper
further dollar weakness would be real resistance from European monetary
authorities to further strengthening of the euro. This occurred to a degree in
mid -January, leading swiftly to a correction in the exchange rate and the
weakening in the euro from $1.29 back to $1.25. However, there are no signs yet
of any change to the weaker trend for the US currency.
The rand has seen as much movement as the European currency, but greater
volatility. Whilst the first three quarters of 2003 saw a continuation of the
rand strengthening against the US dollar, this strength reversed in the final
quarter of the year. During this fourth quarter, the South African currency
lost more than 20% against the US dollar between its strongest point of R6.07,
to its weakest point of R7.28 to the US dollar.
In just over two years, we have seen the rand first lose almost 40% in value
against the US dollar, and thereafter recover all of that and more to
strengthen by almost 60% against its end -2001 exchange rate.
The rand has strengthened materially more against the US dollar than have
either the euro or the Australian dollar, and this occurred particularly during
the period in which South African interest rates were either rising sharply, or
were at their highs between October 2002 and June 2003. The recent reversal in
the direction of the rand value could reflect the end of the impact of high
interest rates, as 2003 has seen the South African Reserve Bank cut the local
repo rate by 5.5%, from a peak of 13.5% to 8.0%, mostly during the latter
months of 2003.
HEDGING
As at 31 December 2003, the net delta hedge position of the company was 8.59Moz
or 267t at a spot price of $416/oz. The marked-to -market value of this
position as at 31 December 2003 was negative $664m. The relatively small
reduction in the level of hedging compared with the level at 30 September 2003
is a result of a higher delta volume consequent on a sharply higher spot price
of gold at this quarter-end ($416/oz vs $383 at 30 September 2003). The company
continues to manage its hedge positions actively, and to reduce overall levels
of forward pricing on gold.
Hedge position
As at 31 December 2003, the group had outstanding, the following
forward-pricing commitments against future production. The total net delta
tonnage of the hedge on this date was 8.59Moz or 267.1t (at 30 September 2003:
8.67Moz or 269.5t).
The marked -to -market value of all hedge transactions making up the hedge
positions was a negative $663.7m (negative R4.4bn) as at 31 December 2003 (as
at 30 September 2003: negative $445m negative R3.1bn). These values were based
on a gold price of $415.75/oz, exchange rates of R/$6.6376 and A$/$0.7525 and
the prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at the time.
As at 28 January 2004, the marked-to -market value of the hedge book was a
negative $577.7m (negative R4.07bn), based on a gold price of $409.25/oz and
exchange rates of R/$7.04 and A$/$0.7781 and the prevailing market interest
rates and volatilities at the time.
These marked -to -market valuations are in no way predictive of the future
value of the hedge position or of future impact on the revenue of the company.
The valuation represents the cost of buying all hedge contracts at the time of
valuation, at market prices and rates available at the time.
