Chairman's Statement

Goldplat plc's precious metals processing facilities combined continued to achieve good trading results for the half year ended 31 December 2025 (H1 2025).

Looking at the trading results of Goldplat plc ("the Company" or "Goldplat") and its subsidiaries, together referred to as "the Group", operating profit for the half year was £4,802,000 (H1 2024: £2,635,000 and FY 2025: £3,733,000). The increase was driven by an increase in revenue of 53% to £45,151,000 (H1 2024: £29,596,000) because of strong production of gold in South Africa and higher average gold price. The average gold price in United States Dollar for H1 2024 to H1 2025 increased by circa 49%.

As a result of the strong operational data, the profit for the period after tax increased to £3,510,000 (H1 2024: £1,478,000) and an all-in, fully diluted EPS for the half year of 1.91 pence (H1 2024: 0.83 pence).

The strong operational results were driven by increased supply in South Africa, which resulted in an increase in the income taxation percentage in South Africa. Further, due to the change in balance of where profits were generated in the Group (the previous year a greater percentage was made in Ghana which has a lower tax rate), the effective tax rate increased from 19.06% to 25.37%. As a result, the income tax for the period therefore increased to £1,193,000 (H1 2024: £348,000).

During the 6-month period the group had foreign exchange gain of £174,000, mainly because of gains experienced in South Africa on the back of a strengthening ZAR against the USD and GBP. During H1 2024, the Group experienced a foreign exchange loss of £ 476,000. All of these factors contributed to the Group generating a net profit of £3,510,000 (H1 2024: £1,478,000).

Dividends

During the period interim dividends of 0.0878 pence per share on 29 August 2025 and 0.1171 pence per share on 19 December 2025 were paid to shareholders respectively and after the period end, a further interim dividend of 0.14638 pence per share was paid to shareholders on 6 March 2026.

The total value of dividends paid over the period was £350,000, and over the las 8 months £600,000.

Working capital

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period decreased to £4,806,000 (30 June 2025: £6,088,000) due to large trade payables outstanding on 30 June 2025 being settled during the period.

Trade and other receivables as well as trade and other payables increased from 30 June 2025 due to the increase in supply in South Africa. Trade and other receivables also increased as a result of Ghana delivering bullion just before the period end. The increase in inventory was driven to a large degree by Gold Recovery Brazil's acquisition of material before the period end which will be processed and sold during H2.

Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd

Revenue increased by 174% to £28,405,000 (H1 2024: £10,367,000) driven by an increase of supply, from South America, a specific project in South Africa and the increase in the gold price. As a result, the operating profit for the period increased to £3,458,000 (H1 2024: £883,000).

As per our team's focus over the last couple of years, we have seen an increase in our share of the by-products market and with that an increase in volumes during Q2. These efforts, combined with solid gold recoveries from our low-grade circuits, supported by the high gold price, resulted in a good operating performance during Q2.

Although, in the short-term, the focus will be in extracting value from the current high gold price, in the longer term the aim is to find better visibility of supply through diversifying into other precious metals or other types of gold resources. In the interim, visibility of supply of low-grade soils for our milling circuits remains strong, with more than 12 months of material for processing on site and more under contract.

Gold Recovery Ghana

Revenue in Ghana during the period decreased from £18,614,000 (H1 2024) to £16,746,000 (H1:2025) as a result of H1 2024 still including sales from material exported based on previous business model. Based on the new business model, GRG had a good productive quarter, whilst focus remained on maximizing gold recoveries from material sourced, mainly from clients in Ghana.

Ghana's profit margin has been impacted by a number of batches where margins were affected by statistical errors in sampling and assaying. The procedure and processes in this regard have already been updated.

As a result of items mentioned above the profit from operating activities during the period decreased from £2,153,000 (H1 2024) to £1,259,000 (H1 2025).

As we have mentioned previously, the focus remains on optimizing the recovery through our local beneficiation plant and as a result GRG plans to invest a further £700,000 over the next six months to improve our processes to increase recovery and environmental management.

The local Ghana beneficiation requirement has impacted all aspects of our business, and we continue to review, update and change our process and procedures to manage risks and maximize margins.

Gold Recovery Brazil

We have spent close to £156,000 of the planned spend of £200,000 on the new plant to date. Spiral equipment was ordered and arrived in Brazil in January 2026.

Sourcing in South America was strong during the quarter with several new sourcing agreements in place and continues to be the focus of the local team.

We continue to receive material from our regular sources in South America with material being sent to Ghana and South Africa for processing. During Q2, a decision was made to send more material to South Africa while we reduce stock levels in Ghana through new processing methods.

Outlook

Our operations continue to build on its current strength with specific focus on:

•     to maintain our market share in South Africa and increase our client base in neighboring countries;

•     to reduce the cost of production, specifically on our CIL circuits in South Africa.

•     to agree commercial terms on the reprocessing of the TSF with DRDGOLD;

•     finalise the regulatory requirements to allow us to pump material through a pipeline to the DRDGOLD facility;

•     to identify interim measures to extract value from the TSF;

•     improve our recovery of gold through improving our local beneficiation processes in Ghana;

•     to develop land acquired in Brazil, and expand our service delivery, specifically on lower grade material in Brazil and elsewhere in South America; and

•     leveraging our strength and capabilities through the processing of other precious metals and commodities.

The Company will remain focused on sharing future cashflows with shareholders, specifically distributing surplus cash to shareholders where not required for growth in line with key initiatives or managing specific risks.
