COMMENTARY
For the year ended 31 December 2019

Comments below are based on a comparison between the financial years ended 31 December 2019 and 
2018 (FY19 and FY18) respectively.

Safety 
Zero harm remains Exxaro’s key safety objective. The group recorded an LTIFR of 0.12 (FY18: 0.12), which 
is higher than the set target of 0.11. We have done better in previous years and remain confident that we will 
improve on this through our safety campaign, “khetha ukuphepha”, which we launched in November 2019. 
We are pleased to report zero fatalities for 33 consecutive months at 31 December 2019.

Results overview
Group revenue was up 1% to R25 726 million (FY18: R25 491 million), while group core EBITDA (after 
adjusting for non-core items) decreased 20% to R5 832 million (FY18: R7 281 million). The main contributors 
were the lower benchmark API4 export price negatively impacting revenue, as well as cost pressures which 
are further explained under financial and operational results.

Core equity-accounted income from associates and joint ventures increased to R4 750 million  
(FY18: R3 271 million) mainly as a result of SIOC.

Core headline earnings rose 3% to R7 402 million (FY18: R7 167 million), despite the lower core EBITDA, 
which was more than offset by the net increase in our core equity-accounted income.

Comparability of results
The key items (non-core adjustments) shown below should be considered for a better understanding of the 
comparability of the results between the different reporting periods. EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net 
operating profit before tax with depreciation, amortisation, impairment charges/reversals and net losses or 
gains on disposal of assets and investments (including translation differences recycled to profit or loss). This 
term is not defined under IFRS and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other 
companies.

1 Core EBITDA is calculated after adjusting for non-core adjustments.

Revenue and core EBITDA
Group revenue was up 1% to R25 726 million (FY18: R25 491 million). While coal export volumes 
increased by 14%, there was a significant decline in the API4 price resulting in a 30% lower average price 
per tonne achieved of US$54 (FY18: US$77). This negative impact was cushioned somewhat by a weaker 
average spot exchange rate of R14.44 to the US dollar (FY18: R13.24). On the domestic front, while higher 
prices from commercial mines had a positive revenue impact, this was offset by lower production volumes 
when compared to the previous year.

Group core EBITDA decreased by 20% to R5 832 million (FY18: R7 281 million), mostly due to lower 
export prices, inflationary pressure on costs, higher selling and distribution costs directly attributed to our 
higher export volumes and higher rehabilitation costs at our closed operations resulting from revised cost 
estimates in line with the latest NEMA regulations.

Earnings
Headline earnings were 13% higher at R7 599 million (FY18: R6 707 million) or 3 027 cents per share 
(FY18: 2 672 cents per share). This was mainly driven by an increase of R1 434 million in Exxaro’s share of 
income of equity-accounted investments to R4 693 million (FY18: R3 259 million) which more than offset the 
drop in coal earnings. 

After adjusting for non-core items, core headline earnings rose 3% to R7 402 million (FY18: R7 167 million) or 
2 3541 cents per share (FY18: 2 1591 cents per share). 

1  Based on a core WANOS of 332 million shares from January to October 2019 and core WANOS of 251 million shares for 

November and December 2019 (FY18: 332 million shares).

1  Application of the equity method ceased when the investment was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 

30 November 2018. On 15 February 2019, the 26% Tronox UK membership interest was redeemed.

2   Application of the equity method ceased when the investment was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 

30 September 2017.

3  Includes equity-accounted income for Cennergi of R45 million (FY18: R65 million) and equity-accounted loss for LightApp of 

R28 million (FY18: R5 million). The dividend received for both periods is from Cennergi.

4  Includes an equity-accounted income for Black Mountain of R51 million (FY18: R70 million), an equity-accounted loss for Insect 

Technology of R103 million (FY18: R31 million) and an equity-accounted loss for Curapipe of R4 million (FY18: R3 million).

Cash flow and funding
Cash flow generated by operations of R5 273 million (FY18: R7 024 million) and dividends received from 
investments of R4 193 million (FY18: R2 696 million) were sufficient to cover ordinary dividends paid, after 
paying taxes and net finance costs.

Total capital expenditure of R6 076 million increased by R286 million, when compared to the corresponding 
period last year, consisting of R345 million decrease on sustaining and environmental capital (stay-in-business 
capital) and R631 million increase on new capacity (expansion capital).

Debt exposure
Net debt for the year ended 31 December 2019 increased by R1 943 million to R5 810 million (FY18: R3 867 million). 
The main cash outflow items during 2019 include the funding of our capital expenditure programme of 
R6 076 million, R344 million cash payment in respect of the ECC contingent consideration, R678 million for the 
acquisition of shares in the market to settle share-based payments and R263 million being the deferred 
consideration paid to Insect Technology (previously known as AgriProtein).

In addition to the cash generated by our own operations and dividends received, we also received cash of 
R2 057 million from Tronox UK for the redemption of Exxaro’s 26% membership interest and R2 889 million from 
Tronox Holdings plc for the repurchase of 14 million shares from Exxaro. Of the cash received, 65% was 
returned to shareholders as a special dividend of R3 218 million.

The dividends received by Eyesizwe resulted in the full settlement of the preference share liability in October 2019.

In the domestic market, steam coal demand remained stable with Eskom demand varying due to lower offtake 
from Medupi power station offset by additional offtake from Leeuwpan and ECC. AMSA demand varied due to 
fluctuations in kiln operations as well as the steel plant in Saldanha being placed on care and maintenance. 
Exxaro has successfully placed the AMSA material in the market with other customers.

Overall, the thermal coal seaborne market remained in oversupply. However, price support for the API4 was 
evident towards the end of 2019 but the sharp increase in API4 priced South African producers out of their 
natural markets. The competition in our markets is intensifying, with traditional Atlantic Ocean suppliers 
competing aggressively. The API4 averaged US$72 per tonne compared to US$98 per tonne in 2018. Export 
volumes increased 14% from 8.0Mt in FY18 to 9.1Mt in FY19.

Production and sales volumes
Coal production volumes (excluding buy-ins) were down 1 463kt (-3%). The lower production volumes are mainly 
attributed to the divestment of NBC at the end of October 2018 as well as lower production at Grootegeluk due 
to the lower demand from Eskom for the Medupi power station. This was partially offset by the early tonnes from 
Belfast and ramp-up of Mafube. Sales volumes were only 1% (-632kt) down due to belt failure and ash handling 
problems experienced at the Medupi power station resulting in lower offtake.

Thermal coal
Commercial: Waterberg
Production at Grootegeluk declined by 1 692kt (-6%) due to the lower offtake from the Medupi power station. 
This also resulted in a decrease in sales volumes of 921kt (-4%).

Commercial: Mpumalanga
The commercial Mpumalanga mines’ thermal coal production was 1 096kt (11%) higher compared to FY18 
mainly driven by:
 – Belfast ramping up earlier than expected and producing 1 029kt
 – Higher production at Mafube of 878kt, mainly due to the ramping down of Springboklaagte in FY18 and the 

ramping up of Nooitgedacht in FY19

 – Higher production at ECC of 438kt following the ramp-up of FZON, the first production of 4 seam coal at 

DCMW and increased yield and product achieved at DCME 

 – Higher production at Leeuwpan of 176kt due to the change in production specifications resulting in higher yields 

and improved throughput, partly offset by lower tempos to meet the contracted quality requirement on the 
Eskom contract at the crush and screening plant.

The increase was partly offset by no volume from NBC (-1 425kt) as a result of our divestment in 2H18.

Thermal coal continued
Commercial: Mpumalanga continued
The commercial Mpumalanga mines’ thermal coal sales were marginally down by 58kt (-1%), mainly due to our 
divestment of NBC (-1 478kt) in 2H18. The decrease was partly offset by higher sales at Leeuwpan (706kt) and 
ECC (655kt) due to our strategy to divert coal from the export market to Eskom.

Exports commercial
Export sales increased by 1 122kt (+14%) mainly because of more coal being available from Mafube, ECC and 
Belfast.

Tied 
Coal production and sales from Matla mine decreased by 9%, mainly due to the shortwall-stop at Mine 3. 

Metallurgical coal
Grootegeluk’s metallurgical coal production decreased by 249kt (-11%) as a result of TFR performance and full 
stockpiles. Sales volumes were lower by 167kt (-14%) mainly due to lower demand from AMSA.

2   Matla mine supplying its entire production to Eskom.

Coal revenue was 1% higher at R25 582 million (FY18: R25 302 million). The higher revenue was mainly driven by 
an increase in domestic sales due to price escalations and new contracts, partly offset by other lower domestic 
volumes. Although export volumes were 14% higher than the previous year, the average realised rand price per 
tonne was 24% lower at R774 compared to R1 013 in FY18.

Coal core EBITDA of R5 902 million (FY18: R7 617 million) decreased by 23%, mainly driven by: 
 – Inflation (-R676 million)
 – Higher distribution costs due to increased exports (-R514 million)
 – Higher rehabilitation costs (-R336 million), mainly at our closed operations
 – Higher operational costs (contract mining and mining consumables) mainly at ECC (-R184 million).

The decrease was partly offset by:
 – Lower royalties (+R151 million).

Equity-accounted investment
Mafube, a 50% joint venture with Anglo, recorded a core equity-accounted income of R127 million  
(FY18: R113 million) mainly due to the ramping up of the Nooitgedacht reserve.

Capex and projects
Exxaro’s coal capital expenditure of R5 817 million increased by 2% compared to R5 722 million in  
FY18. While our expansion capital in the Mpumalanga region increased by R1 345 million, this was partly 
offset by a lower capex spend of R789 million in the Waterberg region. Our sustaining capital decreased by 
R534 million, mainly in the Mpumalanga region. 

As reported previously, first coal from our greenfield Belfast mine was produced in March 2019 and first 
product sales took place in May 2019. Completion of the beneficiation plant is close to commissioning with 
ramp up expected in 1Q20. At Mafube, ramping up of the Nooitgedacht reserve to name plate capacity was 
achieved in 4Q19 and continues to exceed expectations.

Ferrous business
Equity-accounted investment
The core equity-accounted income from SIOC increased by R1 818 million to R4 423 million (FY18: R2 605 million). 
The increase is primarily driven by the effect of the higher iron-ore prices realised and a weaker exchange rate.

An interim dividend of R2 680 million was received from our investment in SIOC (2H18: R1 263 million). SIOC has 
declared a final dividend to its shareholders in February 2020. Exxaro’s 20.62% share of the dividend amounts to 
R1 412 million. The dividend will be accounted for in 2020.

Titanium dioxide
Equity-accounted investment
Core equity-accounted income from Tronox SA decreased by R145 million to R236 million compared to FY18. 
The decrease is mainly as a result of increased costs (royalties and allocated head office costs), inventory 
revaluation adjustments and foreign currency exchange losses.

Our investment in Tronox Holdings plc continues to meet the criteria to be classified as a non-current asset 
held-for-sale.

Energy business
Equity-accounted investment
Cennergi, a 50% joint venture with Tata Power, recorded core equity-accounted income of R45 million for FY19 
(FY18: R65 million). The results were negatively impacted by the ineffective portion of interest rate swaps and fair 
value adjustments on share-based payment liabilities offset by improved operational performance. Cash flow 
generation remains positive as Exxaro received dividends of R95 million in FY19 compared to R58 million in FY18.

Despite the loss of two turbines due to fire incidents, for a significant period of the year, generation output to 
date at the two windfarms is better than planned given favourable wind conditions. The replacement turbines 
have been commissioned in November 2019 and are in full production. 

As announced on 17 September 2019, Exxaro has concluded an agreement with Khopoli, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Tata Power, to acquire Khopoli's 50% shareholding in Cennergi for an amount of R1 550 million, 
subject to normal working capital adjustments. Post the conclusion of the agreement, Exxaro will have 100% 
ownership of Cennergi. The last condition precedent was met in March 2020. 

SALE OF NON-CORE ASSETS AND INVESTMENTS
During the second half of 2019, the Exxaro board approved a decision to divest from its 26% interest in Black 
Mountain. On 30 November 2019, the investment was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale and the 
application of the equity method ceased.

On 31 January 2020, the Arnot operation was transferred to Arnot OpCo Proprietary Limited Consortium. The 
accounting of the transfer will be accounted for in 2020.

On 20 February 2020, Exxaro announced our intention to divest our entire interest in ECC and the Leeuwpan 
operations. The divestment will be executed through a formal disposal process. The proposed transaction is a 
category two transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and is therefore not regarded as material. 

PERFORMANCE OF REPLACEMENT BEE TRANSACTION
We are proud to report that Eyesizwe, our BEE shareholder, has fully settled its acquisition debt in October 2019, 
three years earlier than anticipated. The early settlement was funded from dividends received from Exxaro. From 
an accounting perspective this resulted in the outside shareholders of Eyesizwe being treated as non-controlling 
interests for the Exxaro group from 1 November 2019.

Furthermore, we undertook to transfer at least 10% of our 24.9% shareholding in Eyesizwe into structures for 
the benefit of Exxaro's employees and communities adjacent to our operations. The transaction agreements are 
expected to be concluded in 1Q20 with implementation of the employee scheme expected in April 2020 and the 
implementation of the community scheme dependent on the registration of the company as a public benefit 
organisation in terms of s18A of the Income tax Act.

PERFORMANCE AGAINST NEW BBBEE CODES 
As mentioned previously, Exxaro is proud to have achieved a level 2 BBBEE recognition status for FY18, two 
years earlier than planned. While the FY19 audit is still in progress, we expect to maintain our level 2 BBBEE 
status. The certificate will be published as soon as the audit is concluded.

COMMENTARY continued
For the year ended 31 December 2019

COAL RESOURCES AND COAL RESERVES
During 2018, Exxaro indicated that it was considering options relating to four prospecting rights grouped into 
two projects, namely Waterberg North and South. The projects are located approximately 30km north of 
Grootegeluk, and consist of Inferred Coal Resources of 2 147Mt and 869Mt, respectively. 

Following a strategic review, a decision was taken to relinquish these prospecting rights, resulting in the Exxaro 
total attributable Coal Resources decreasing by approximately 22%. We are conducting all activities to ensure 
we fulfil the necessary closure requirements.

Furthermore, Exxaro total attributable Coal Reserves decreased by approximately 3%. The Coal Reserves 
for ECC’s Forzando operation decreased by approximately 37% for the reporting year. The most significant 
contributors to the decrease are mining depletion, the review of macro-economic assumptions and certain areas 
excluded due to unfavourable floor gradients. Changes in Coal Reserves larger than 10% (material) are also 
reported at our Matla and Leeuwpan operations. The approximate 13% decrease at Leeuwpan is primarily due 
to mining depletion and the approximate 14% decrease at Matla is mainly due to mining depletion and the 
disposal of mining areas due to unfavourable stoping conditions in close proximity to surface infrastructure. 

For all our other operations no material changes to Coal Resources and Coal Reserves estimates are reported, 
other than normal LOM depletion.

MINING AND PROSPECTING RIGHTS
Matla's mining right lapsed in November 2019. A compliant mining right renewal application was submitted in 
August 2019. 

OUTLOOK
For 1H20, global economic growth stabilisation is anticipated. However, depending on the duration and speed of 
the coronavirus in China, the recovery in the thermal coal import demand in China might support the seaborne 
market somewhat.

We expect domestic thermal coal demand and pricing to remain relatively stable during 2020. 

The API4 is expected to be under pressure as a similar liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply wave, as was evident 
in 2019, is anticipated to continue into 2020, together with low gas prices globally. However, a potential increase 
in thermal coal import demand in China might support the seaborne market somewhat.

South Africa’s fiscal imbalance is set to remain a huge constraint in addressing the increasing socio-economic 
challenges with the risk of a sovereign rating downgrade increasing. As a result, the rand/dollar exchange rate is 
expected to remain volatile.

As we roll out the integrated operations centres (IOCs) at all our operations, according to our digitalisation plan, 
the increased visualisation of the mining value chain will highlight embedded inefficiencies that will be addressed 
through in-time decision making relating to safety, productivity and cost performance. At an enterprise level, we 
are on schedule to implement our integrated management platform allowing us to access strategic insights 
across our operations, enabling future looking value add conversations.

The expected recovery in iron ore seaborne supply with narrowing steel margins will soften the iron ore market.

Our shareholding in Tronox Holdings plc has been reduced to approximately 14.7 million shares, representing 
about 10% of the total outstanding shares as at 31 December 2019. We remain committed to monetising our 
stake in Tronox Holdings plc over time and in the best possible manner, taking into account prevailing market 
conditions. 

In 2017 Exxaro adopted a strategy to explore new investment opportunities based on three pillars, namely water 
security, food security and energy security. Based on our experience since then, we have now changed that

and sales volumes information for the year ended 31 December 2019

 
COMMENTARY continued

strategy to focus solely on new opportunities in the energy security space. As we pursue these opportunities, 
our approach continues to be measured with a view to mitigating potential risks and ensuring that the capital 
allocation decisions are in line with appropriate metrics.

In respect of the Moranbah South hard coking coal project, Exxaro, together with Anglo Coal, is in the process 
of reassessing the potential development plan for the project.

In August 2019, we reported that we will share our climate response strategy, including our progress with 
incorporating the recommendations from the FSB’s Taskteam on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) 
which highlight climate change transitional and physical risks confronting our business and the related financial 
impacts of these risks. Our Climate Change Position Statement contains details on our approach to climate 
change mitigation and adaption. The document also includes our aspirational target of carbon neutrality by 
2050. We have developed climate change scenarios that take into account the 2°C world as per the 
recommendation of the TCFD. We will be using these scenarios to conduct a detailed analysis to quantify the 
financial risks and opportunities in our operations.

FINAL DIVIDEND
In terms of our capital allocation framework, we will remain prudent in returning cash to shareholders, managing 
debt, and selectively reinvesting for the growth of our business. Exxaro’s declared dividend policy is based on 
two components: a pass-through of the SIOC dividend received and a targeted cover ratio of 2.5 times to 
3.5 times core attributable coal earnings. 

Additionally, Exxaro is targeting a gearing ratio below 1.5 times net debt to EBITDA.

The board of directors has declared a cash dividend comprising:
 – 3 times core attributable coal earnings and 
 – Pass through of SIOC dividend of R1 412 million.

Notice is hereby given that a gross final cash dividend, number 34 of 566 cents per share, for the year ended 
31 December 2019 was declared, and is payable to shareholders of ordinary shares. For details of the dividend, 
please refer note 11 of the reviewed condensed group annual financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2019.

Salient dates for payment of the interim dividend are:
 – Last day to trade cum dividend on the JSE 
 – First trading day ex dividend on the JSE 
 – Record date 
 – Payment date 

Tuesday, 21 April 2020

No share certificates may be dematerialised or re-materialised between Wednesday, 22 April 2020 and Friday,

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), TiO2 (non-controlled), ferrous (controlled and non-controlled) 
and energy (non-controlled) markets. These reviewed condensed group annual financial statements as 
at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 (condensed annual 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. 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance

The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements 
of the JSE Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of 
South Africa. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with 
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS (as issued by the 
IASB), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides (as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee) and 
Financial Pronouncements (as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council). As a minimum, 
preliminary reports must contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The condensed annual financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of 
Mr PA Koppeschaar CA(SA), SAICA registration number: 00038621.

The condensed annual financial statements should be read in conjunction with the group annual 
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018, which have been prepared in 
accordance with IFRS. The condensed annual 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. This is the first set of condensed annual financial statements where IFRS 16 
Leases (IFRS 16) has been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in note 4.

The condensed annual financial statements of the Exxaro group were authorised for issue by the board 
of directors on 10 March 2020.

2.2

Judgements and estimates

Management made judgements, 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 2018, 
except for new judgements and assumptions related to the adoption of IFRS 16 as described in note 4.3.

2.3

Re-presentation of comparative information

The condensed group statement of comprehensive income (and related notes) for the year ended 
31 December 2018 has been re-presented as a result of the investment in Black Mountain being 
classified as a discontinued operation as described further in note 6.

3. 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed annual financial statements are 
consistent with those of the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 
31 December 2018, except for the adoption of new or amended standards as set out below.

3.1

New or amended standards adopted by the group

A number of new or amended standards became effective for the current reporting period.

The group has adopted IFRS 16 for the first time for the year commencing on 1 January 2019. The 
adoption of IFRS 16 has resulted in the group changing its accounting policies. The impact of the adoption 
and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 4.

3.2

ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
Impact of new, amended or revised standards issued but not yet effective

New accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations issued which are 
relevant to the group, but not yet effective on 31 December 2019, have not been adopted. The group 
continuously evaluates the impact of these standards and amendments. 

3.3

Carbon tax

The Carbon Tax Bill has been implemented with an effective date of 1 June 2019. The registration forms 
were issued in January 2020 but the payment procedures have not yet been finalised. The first payment 
of the carbon tax levy is due on 31 July 2020, relating to the period 1 June 2019 to 31 December 2019. 
An accrual of R3.4 million has been recognised during 2019.

4. 

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the condensed annual financial statements 
and also discloses the new leases accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2019.

Overview of changes resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16

IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases (IAS 17), IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a 
Lease (IFRIC 4), SIC 15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC 27 Evaluating the Substance of 
Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The standard establishes a new definition and criteria to identify whether a contract is, or contains, a lease 
as well as principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. For lessee 
accounting, a single accounting model is introduced that requires lessees to recognise assets and 
liabilities for all leases. The standard, however, allows an optional exemption to recognise leases with a 
lease term of less than 12 months (short-term leases) or leases of low value assets in profit or loss on a 
straight-line basis. For lessor accounting, IFRS 16's approach is substantially unchanged from IAS 17. 
Lessor's continue to classify leases as either operating leases or finance leases. Subleases are classified 
with reference to the underlying right-of-use asset of the head lease.

Refer note 4.1 for details of the group's transition to IFRS 16.
Refer note 4.2 for the new accounting policy applied from 1 January 2019.
Refer note 4.3 for the judgements and assumptions made by management in applying the related 
accounting policies.
Refer note 8, 13 and 18 for the related disclosures of leases.

Leasing activities (as lessee)

The group leases various land, buildings and equipment as the need arises. Lease contracts are 
typically made for fixed periods between 18 months to 15 years but may have extension options. 
Lease contracts are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and 
conditions. The lease contracts do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as 
security for borrowing purposes.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the group. These options 
are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing lease contracts. The majority of 
extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the group and not by the respective 
lessor.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
Transition

4.1.1

Transition method, exemptions and practical expedients applied

As lessor

The group had no adjustments to its lessor accounting.

As lessee

IFRS 16 has been adopted using the cumulative effect method. In terms of this method, comparative 
information has not been restated. Instead, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 has been 
recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on date of initial application 
(being 1 January 2019).

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has elected the following practical expedients:
(a) In applying the definition of a lease:

 – The group has elected not to re-assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial 
application. Instead, the group has applied this standard, at date of initial application, to all contracts 
previously identified as leases in terms of IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore the definition of a lease in 
terms of IFRS 16 will only be applied to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

(b) In determining the transition adjustments of leases previously classified as operating leases:

 – Leases of low value assets were excluded as the group has elected the exemption to not apply lease 

accounting to these leases from 1 January 2019

 – Leases with a lease term of less than 12 months on initial application were excluded and accounted for 
as short-term leases from 1 January 2019 (i.e. recognised through profit or loss on a straight-line basis)

 – Initial direct costs of leases were excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use assets 

recognised on 1 January 2019; and

 – Hindsight was applied to determine the lease term for contracts containing options to extend or 

terminate the lease.

4.1.2

Impact on retained earnings at 1 January 2019

The impact on retained earnings at 1 January 2019 is summarised as follows:

4.1.4

Lease liabilities recognised on initial application

Lease liabilities were recognised for leases, previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, that 
had commenced prior to 1 January 2019, excluding leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. 
These liabilities were measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using 
the incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019 which ranged between 7.85% and 10.42%.

The table below shows the reconciliation between operating lease commitments (disclosed under IAS 17) 
at 31 December 2018 and lease liabilities recognised on 1 January 2019:

Operating lease commitments at 31 December 2018 (adjusted)1

Less: lease commitments relating to leases commencing on or after 1 January 2019

Less: lease commitments that relate to short-term leases

Less: lease commitments that relate to leases of low-value assets

Lease commitments (remaining lease payments) to which initial application 
of IFRS 16 has been applied

1  Operating lease commitments at 31 December 2018, previously disclosed as R876 million, has been adjusted to an 
amount of R1 004 million, to include an additional R128 million worth of lease commitments (in terms of IAS 17 and 
IFRIC 4) that was erroneously excluded.

For leases previously classified as finance leases, the group recognised the carrying amount of the lease 
liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the lease liability at the date of initial 
application. Therefore no adjustment was required for finance lease liabilities at 1 January 2019. The 
measurement principles of IFRS 16 have been applied since 1 January 2019.

4.1.5

Right-of-use-assets recognised on initial application

Right-of-use assets were recognised for leases, previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, 
that had commenced prior to 1 January 2019, excluding leases of low-value assets and short-term 
leases. These assets were measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of 
the leases, but discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at date of initial application. In other 
words, the gross carrying amount of the right-of-use assets were determined taking into account the 
present value of all remaining lease payments at the commencement date of the leases, but discounted 
at the incremental borrowing rate of 1 January 2019. The accumulated depreciation was measured from 
the commencement date of the leases until 1 January 2019.

The right-of-use assets recognised at 1 January 2019 were considered for impairment in terms of 
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, however, as the recoverable amounts were in excess of the carrying 
amounts, no impairment adjustments were required.

For assets acquired in terms of finance leases, as previously classified under IAS 17, the group 
recognised the carrying amount of these assets immediately before transition as the carrying amount of 
the right-of-use assets at 1 January 2019. Therefore no adjustment was required except that the 
carrying amount of these assets has been reclassified from property, plant and equipment to 
right-of-use assets. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 have been applied since 1 January 2019.

The group has elected as an accounting policy choice not to apply IFRS 16 to leases of intangible assets.

At inception of a contract, the group assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or 
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of 
time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of 
an identified asset, the group assesses whether:
 – The contract involves the use of an identified asset, this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and must 
be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the 
supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified

 – The group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset 

throughout the period of use; and

 – The group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The group has this right when it has the 

decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. 
In rare cases where all the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are 
predetermined, the group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
 – The group has the right to operate the asset; or 
 – The group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

The group has applied this definition to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception, or on reassessment, of a contract that contains a lease component, the group allocates the 
consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative 
standalone prices.

As lessee

(a) Recognition

Leases are recognised as a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset at the commencement 
date of the leases. Each lease payment is allocated between the settlement of the lease liability and 
finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a 
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The 
right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a 
straight-line basis, except, when there is a purchase option which is expected to be exercised, in which 
case it is depreciated over the asset's useful life.

Non-lease components, contained in a lease, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when incurred.

(b) Measurement

(i) Initial measurement

Right-of-use assets

Measured at cost which is:
 – The amount of the initial measurement of the 

lease liability 

 – Plus any lease payments made at or before the 

commencement date

 – Less any lease incentives received
 – Plus any initial direct costs 
 – Plus estimated restoration costs. 

Lease liabilities

Measured at the present value of the following 
lease payments:
 – Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed 
payments), less any lease incentives receivable
 – Variable lease payments that are based on an 

index or a rate

 – Amounts expected to be payable by the group, 
as a lessee, under residual value guarantees
 – The exercise price of a purchase option if the 
group, as a lessee, is reasonably certain to 
exercise that option; and 

 – Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, 
if the lease term reflects the group, as a lessee, 
exercising that option. 

The lease payments are discounted using the 
interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot 
be determined, an incremental borrowing rate is 
applied.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

Right-of-use assets

Lease liabilities

After commencement date of the lease, the group 
measures the right-of-use asset applying the cost 
model where a right-of-use asset falls within the 
scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.

Measured at:
 – Cost less
 – Any accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated impairment losses; and
 – Adjusted for any remeasurements or 
modifications of the lease liability.

Useful lives:
Land and buildings – 15 years
Residential land and buildings – 10 years
Buildings and infrastructure – three to 10 years
Machinery, plant and equipment – two to five years

After commencement date of the lease, the group 
measures the lease liability by:
 – Increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest 

on the lease liability

 – Reducing the carrying amount to reflect the 

lease payments made, and

 – Remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any 
reassessment or lease modification or to reflect 
revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Incremental borrowing rates:
Lease term greater than 12 months but less than 
18 months – 7.85% 
Lease term greater than 18 months – 10.42% to 
10.44%

(c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a 
straight-line basis, over the lease term, as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with 
a lease term of 12 months or less. Leases of low-value assets comprise IT equipment, furniture, fittings 
and appliances as well as tools and other small equipment used at the plants.

As lessor

When the group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether a lease is a finance lease or an 
operating lease.

To classify a lease, the group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially 
all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the 
lease is a finance lease. If not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the group 
considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the 
asset.

When the group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease 
separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the right-of-use asset 
arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term 
lease to which the group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an 
operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the 
consideration in the contract.

Lease income from operating leases is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term 
in profit or loss.

The group recognises the net investment in finance leases, which is the aggregate of the minimum lease 
payments receivable, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, at the commencement of the 
lease. On conclusion of the lease agreement the leased asset is derecognised and depreciation ceases. 
Each lease payment received is allocated between the receivable and finance income. The interest 
element is recognised in profit or loss over the lease period.

4.3

Judgements and assumptions made by management in applying the related accounting policies

(a) Useful lives of right-of-use assets

In determining the useful lives of right-of-use assets, management considers all available information 
about the lease term as well as the asset's useful life itself. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use 
assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

(b) Incremental borrowing rates

In determining the incremental borrowing rates, management considers the term of the lease, the nature 
of the asset being leased and the funding strategy and principles applied by the group's treasury 
department.

(c) Extensions and termination options

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an 
economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension 
options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably 
certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a 
significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control 
of the lessee.

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 is the group executive committee. 
Segments reported are based on the group’s different commodities and operations.

During the first half of 2019, the chief operating decision maker revised the segment in which the 
remaining NBC assets and liabilities were reported on. These assets and liabilities are reported as part 
of the coal other operating segment instead of the coal commercial Mpumalanga operating segment. 
The comparative segmental information has been represented to reflect this change.

The export revenue and related export cost items are allocated between the coal operating segments 
based on the origin of the initial coal production.

The reportable operating segments, as described below, offer different goods and services, and are 
managed separately based on commodity, location and support function grouping. The group executive 
committee reviews internal management reports on these operating segments at least quarterly.

Coal
The coal reportable operating segment is split between commercial (Waterberg and Mpumalanga), tied 
and other operations. Commercial Mpumalanga operations include a 50% (2018: 50%) investment in 
Mafube (a joint venture with Anglo). The 10.36% (2018: 10.82%) effective equity interest in RBCT is 
included in the other coal operations. The 49% equity interest in Tumelo continues to be reported as 
part of the commercial Mpumalanga operations although it is no longer accounted for as a subsidiary, 
but as an associate since 1 January 2019. The coal operations produce thermal coal, metallurgical coal 
and SSCC.

Ferrous
The ferrous segment mainly comprises the 20.62% (2018: 20.62%) equity interest in SIOC (located in the 
Northern Cape province) reported within the other ferrous operating segment as well as the FerroAlloys 
operation (referred to as Alloys). The Alloys operation manufactures ferrosilicon.

TiO2
The TiO2 segment comprises a 10.38% (2018: 23.35%) equity interest in Tronox Holdings plc, which 
was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017 (refer note 16), and a 
26% (2018: 26%) equity interest in Tronox SA (both South African-based operations). The 26% member’s 
interest in Tronox UK was redeemed on 15 February 2019.

Energy
The energy segment comprises a 50% (2018: 50%) investment in Cennergi (a South African joint venture 
with Tata Power), which operates two wind-farms, and an equity interest of 28.59% (2018: 28.98%) in 
LightApp, as well as an equity interest of 22% in GAM which was acquired in 2019 (refer note 14).

Other
The other reportable segment comprises an equity interest in Curapipe of 15% (2018: 10.53%), an equity 
interest in Insect Technology of 25.86% (2018: 26.37%), the Ferroland agricultural operation as well as 
the corporate office which renders services to operations and other customers. The 26% (2018: 26%) 
equity interest in Black Mountain (located in the Northern Cape province) was classified as a non-current 
asset held-for-sale and a discontinued operation on 30 November 2019 (refer note 16).

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Tronox Holdings plc
On 30 September 2017, Exxaro classified the Tronox Limited investment as a non-current asset 
held-for-sale (refer note 16). During March 2019, Tronox Limited redomiciled from Australia to the UK by 
“top-hatting” Tronox Limited with a new holding company incorporated under the laws of England and 
Wales called Tronox Holdings plc. Each Tronox Limited shareholder received one share in the newly 
incorporated company in exchange for each share held in the Australian-incorporated Tronox Limited, 
which shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. On 9 May 2019, Tronox Holdings plc 
repurchased 14 000 000 shares from Exxaro. The remaining investment in Tronox Holdings plc remains 
classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale.

It was concluded that the related performance and cash flow information be presented as a 
discontinued operation as the Tronox Holdings plc investment represents a major geographical area of 
operation as well as the majority of the TiO2 reportable operating segment.
Black Mountain
On 30 November 2019, Exxaro classified the Black Mountain investment as a non-current asset 
held-for-sale (refer note 16). It was concluded that the related performance and cash flow information be 
presented as a discontinued operation as Black Mountain represents the base metals operating 
segment which management view to be a separate major operation.

Financial information relating to the discontinued operations is set out below:

16.  NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE 

Tronox Holdings plc

In September 2017, the directors of Exxaro formally decided to dispose of the investment in Tronox 
Limited. As part of this decision, Tronox Limited was required to publish an automatic shelf registration 
statement of securities of well-known seasoned issuers which allowed for the conversion of Exxaro’s 
Class B Tronox Limited ordinary shares to Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares. From this point, it 
was concluded that the Tronox Limited investment should be classified as a non-current asset 
held-for-sale as all the criteria in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued 
Operations (IFRS 5) were met. As of 30 September 2017, the Tronox Limited investment, totalling 
42.66% of Tronox Limited’s total outstanding voting shares, was classified as a non-current asset 
held-for-sale and the application of the equity method ceased.

Subsequently, Exxaro sold 22 425 000 Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares during October 2017. 
During May 2019, Tronox Holdings plc repurchased 14 000 0000 Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares from 
Exxaro after Tronox Limited had redomiciled to the UK. On 31 December 2019, management concluded 
that the remaining investment in Tronox Holdings plc continues to meet the criteria to be classified as a 
non-current asset held-for-sale in terms of IFRS 5. Exxaro continues to assess market conditions for 
further possible sell downs of the remaining 14 729 280 Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares.

The Tronox Holdings plc investment is presented within the total assets of the TiO2 reportable operating 
segment and is presented as a discontinued operation (refer note 6).

Black Mountain

During the second half of 2019, the Exxaro board of directors approved a decision to divest from 
its 26% interest in Black Mountain. A non-binding offer from an interested party was received. On 
30 November 2019 the investment was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale as all the criteria 
in terms of IFRS 5 were met and the application of the equity method ceased.

The Black Mountain investment is presented within the total assets of the other reportable operating 
segment and is presented as a discontinued operation (refer note 6).

EMJV

As part of the ECC acquisition in 2015, Exxaro acquired non-current liabilities held-for-sale relating to the 
EMJV. The sale of the EMJV business is conditional on section 43 consent required in terms of the 
MPRDA for transfer of the environmental liabilities and rehabilitation obligations of the EMJV to Scinta 
Energy Proprietary Limited. The liabilities remain classified as non-current liabilities held-for-sale for the 
Exxaro group as at 31 December 2019 as the required approvals were still pending. Subsequent to 
31 December 2019, the required approvals have been obtained (refer note 26). 

The EMJV does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation since it does not 
represent a separate major line of business, nor does it represent a major geographical area of operation.

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).

22.1

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS continued
Fair value hierarchy continued

Valuation process applied

The fair value computations of the investments are performed by the group’s corporate 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

Level 2 fair values for debt instruments held in the environmental rehabilitation funds are based on 
quotes provided by the financial institutions at which the funds are invested at measurement date. These 
financial institutions invest in instruments which are listed.

22.2

Valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values within Level 3 of the hierarchy, 
as well as significant inputs used in the valuation models

Contingent consideration

The potential undiscounted amount of the remaining future payments that the group could be required 
to make under the ECC acquisition is between nil and US$35 million. The amount of future payments is 
dependent on the API4 coal price.

At 31 December 2019, there was a decrease of US$20.4 million (R296 million) (31 December 2018: an 
increase of US$25.4 million (R357 million)) recognised in profit or loss for the contingent consideration 
arrangement.

The amount to be paid in each of the five years is determined as follows:
–  If the average API4 price in the reference year is below the minimum API4 price of the agreed range, 

then no payment will be made

–  If the average API4 price falls within the range, then the amount to be paid is determined based on a 

formula contained in the agreement

–  If the average API4 price is above the maximum API4 price of the range, then Exxaro is liable for the full 

amount due for that reference year.

An additional payment to Total S.A. amounting to R344 million was required for the 2018 reference year, 
R299 million was required for the 2017 reference year and R74 million was required for the 2016 
reference year as the API4 price was within the agreed range. No additional payment to Total S.A. was 
required for the 2015 reference year as the API4 price was below the range.

The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no quoted 
market price or observable price available for this financial instrument. This financial instrument is valued 
as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, using a discounted cash flow model.

The significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of this financial 
instrument are the rand/US$ exchange rate, API4 export price and the discount rate.

R442 million (R199 million tax payable, R91 million interest and R152 million penalties) to which Exxaro 
formally objected. The matter was settled outside of the Tax Court. A settlement agreement was 
concluded and signed on 30 September 2019 in terms of which SARS must refund Exxaro an amount 
of R24 million.
