Anglo Platinum trading statement
Anglo Platinum advises shareholders that earnings for the year ended 31 December
2005 are expected to be higher than earnings for the year ended 31 December
2004, which were restated following the adoption of IFRS 2 - Share Based
Payments, as follows:
- Headline earnings per ordinary share are expected to be between 60% and 65%
higher than the restated headline earnings per ordinary share of 1 120,6 cents.
- Earnings per ordinary share are expected to be between 77% and 82% higher
than the restated earnings per ordinary share of 1 077,8 cents.
The expected increases are primarily as a result of higher Rand prices of metals
sold. The increase in earnings per share is greater than the increase in
headline earnings per share primarily as a result of gains of a capital nature
associated with the Mototolo, Marikana and Elandsfontein transactions concluded
during 2005.
