Sibanye Stillwater Declared Operating Update for Q1 2021

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Sibanye Stillwater Limited announced an operating update for the quarter ended 31st March, 2021.

According to company press release, the operating momentum from the final quarter of 2020 carried through into 2021. It delivered a record quarterly financial performance, with adjusted EBITDA surging higher by 78% from S$724 million in Q1 2020 to $1,325 million in Q1 2021.

Sibanye Stillwater reported solid operational results from all segments. The production levels at U.S. PGM operations surged 9% to 154,350 2E oz. Similarly, the production levels by SA PGM operations were up by 6% year-on-year to 444,609 4E oz. Also, it reported 5% increase in production levels from the SA gold operations to 249,392 oz.

The company maintained the 2021 annual guidance provided in February this year, except for the SA PGM project capital. The capital expenditure forecast has now been elevated to $253 million, by accounting for unspent capital of $53 million due to Covid-19 disruptions.
