FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Shareholders are referred to the announcement published by the Company on the Stock Exchange News
Service on 22 December 2025.
Management now has a high degree of certainty regarding the performance for the year under review.
As previously reported, Hulamin undertook an extended integrated plant shutdown during the 2025
financial year, which included execution of the market-driven wide can body expansion project.
Following the shutdown, the business experienced operational challenges associated with stabilising mill
performance. These challenges adversely affected rolled products volumes and resulted in losses due to
quality defects. The strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar during the period further impacted
financial performance.
Further details will be provided in the Company's year?end results announcement, expected to be
released on Monday, 23 March 2026.
