DRDGOLD upbeat on interim dividend prospects despite tripling in 2023 capex Published: 19 October 2022

DRDGOLD reported a 19% decline in adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) to R386.4m for the September (first) quarter owing to an R84m insurance payout to the company in the comparative period. Generally speaking the quarter was solid for the gold dumps and tailings company amid a high inflationary environment. Shareholders will also be heartened that the chances of the firm paying an interim dividend in February were considered “favourable”.

DRDGold: Solid FY22 Results And FWGR Expansion In The Cards Published: 24 August 2022

Overall, I think that FY22 was a challenging year for DRDGold due to inflationary pressures and electricity supply issues and that the company managed to achieve production and financial results. DRDGold has a market valuation of $525.1 million as of the time of writing which I think seems low considering the life of mine is about three decades and cash reserves are over $120 million.

Production totalled 183 902 ounces, little changed from 183 999 ounces a year earlier, but all-in sustaining costs (AISC) rose 15%. Increases in the prices of diesel, chemicals and steel drove costs higher, DRDGold said.

“In practice this means that, for many years, we have deliberately invested in capital and developing a system to increase business resilience and robustness. This approach has carried us through,” said Pretorius.
