Stringent cost and efficient capital management helped to off-set the impact and improve free cash flow generation compared to the six months ended 31\u00a0December\u00a02023 (the prior period).<\/p>\n<p>Revenue of R122,1 billion is 10% lower than the prior period, mainly as a result of:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>A 13% decline in the average Rand per barrel Brent crude oil price and a significant decline in refining margins and fuel price differentials; and<\/li>\n<li>A 5% decrease in sales volumes as a result of lower production and lower market demand as detailed in the Production and Sales Metrics published on <span class=\"xn-chron\">23 January 2025<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA) of R23,9\u00a0billion is 15% lower compared to the prior period mainly as a result of the aforementioned lower revenue with stringent cost management implemented in response helping to mitigate the impact. The relative contribution from International Chemicals increased from 6% to 13%.<\/p>\n<p>Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of R9,5 billion is 40% lower than the prior period and impacted by non-cash adjustments including:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>A net loss of R6,2 billion from remeasurement items compared to a net loss of R5,8 billion in the prior period, mainly due to further impairments of the Secunda liquid fuels refinery cash generating unit (CGU) of R5,0 billion and the Sasolburg liquid fuels refinery CGU of R0,6 billion. Both CGUs remain fully impaired, resulting in amounts capitalised during the current period being impaired.<\/li>\n<li>Unrealised losses of R0,1 billion on the translation of monetary assets and liabilities, and valuation of financial instruments and derivative contracts compared to unrealised gains of R2,7 billion in the prior period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result of the above, basic earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 52% to R7,22 per share and Headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased by 31% to R14,13 per share compared to the prior period.<\/p>\n<p>Cash generated by operating activities increased by 20% to R17,6 billion compared to the prior period mainly due to changes in working capital. Capital expenditure, excluding movement in capital project related payables, amounted to R15,0 billion, 6% lower than the prior period.<\/p>\n<p>At <span class=\"xn-chron\">31 December 2024<\/span>, our total debt was R116,9 billion (<span class=\"xn-money\">US$6,2 billion<\/span>) compared to R117,7\u00a0billion (<span class=\"xn-money\">US$6,5 billion<\/span>) at <span class=\"xn-chron\">30 June 2024<\/span>. Sasol deposited R5,4 billion (<span class=\"xn-money\">US$0,3 billion<\/span>) on the Revolving credit facility during the current period.

These statements may also relate to our future prospects, expectations, developments, and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the capital cost of our projects and the timing of project milestones; our ability to obtain financing to meet the funding requirements of our capital investment programme, as well as to fund our ongoing business activities and to pay dividends; statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, and regarding future economic performance including cost containment, cash conservation programmes and business optimisation initiatives; recent and proposed accounting pronouncements and their impact on our future results of operations and financial condition; our business strategy, performance outlook, plans, objectives or goals; statements regarding future competition, volume growth and changes in market share in the industries and markets for our products; our existing or anticipated investments, acquisitions of new businesses or the disposal of existing businesses, including estimates or projection of internal rates of return and future profitability; our estimated oil, gas and coal reserves; the probable future outcome of litigation, legislative, regulatory and fiscal developments, including statements regarding our ability to comply with future laws and regulations; future fluctuations in refining margins and crude oil, natural gas and petroleum and chemical product prices; the demand, pricing and cyclicality of oil, gas and petrochemical product prices; changes in the fuel and gas pricing mechanisms in <span class=\"xn-location\">South Africa<\/span> and their effects on prices, our operating results and profitability; statements regarding future fluctuations in exchange and interest rates and changes in credit ratings; total shareholder return; our current or future products and anticipated customer demand for these products; assumptions relating to macroeconomics; climate change impacts and our climate change strategies, our development of sustainability within our businesses, our energy efficiency improvement, carbon and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, our net zero carbon emissions ambition and future low-carbon initiatives, including relating to green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel; our estimated carbon tax liability; cyber security; and statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as &#8220;believe&#8221;, &#8220;anticipate&#8221;, &#8220;expect&#8221;, &#8220;intend&#8221;, &#8220;seek&#8221;, &#8220;will&#8221;, &#8220;plan&#8221;, &#8220;could&#8221;, &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;endeavour&#8221;, &#8220;target&#8221;, &#8220;forecast&#8221; and &#8220;project&#8221; and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections, and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. You should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors and others are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed on <span class=\"xn-chron\">6 September 2024<\/span> and in other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking statements to make investment decisions, you should carefully consider foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, and you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Please note<\/b>: One billion is defined as one thousand million, bbl \u2013 barrel, bscf \u2013 billion standard cubic feet, mmscf \u2013 million standard cubic feet, oil references Brent crude, mmboe \u2013 million barrels oil equivalent.
