TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Shareholders are advised that Exxaro and its directors have a reasonable degree of certainty relating
to the expected financial results of Exxaro for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.
Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 is expected to
increase between 18% and 32% compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. This is
mainly due to the exceptional performance of our coal business driven by higher sales prices and
higher sales volumes, despite logistical challenges, more than offsetting the lower income from our
equity-accounted investment in Sishen Iron Ore Company Proprietary Limited. In addition, HEPS are
based on a lower weighted average number of shares (WANOS) of 242 million following our share
repurchase program. WANOS for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 was 250 million.

The increase in attributable earnings per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 is
expected be within the 20% range in terms of the JSE Listing Requirements.

EBITDA(1) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 is expected to increase between 137% and
151% compared to the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, mainly attributable to the exceptional
performance of the coal business as set out above.

There were no non-core adjustments2 for both the six-month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30
June 2021.

The expected ranges are summarised below: -
