Drdgold ( (DRD) ) has issued an announcement.

DRDGOLD Limited reported a significant increase in earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) by 60% to 70% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the previous corresponding period. This growth is attributed to a 28% increase in group revenue driven by a higher Rand gold price and improved operational efficiencies at its Ergo and Far West Gold Recoveries operations. Despite higher operating costs due to inflation and increased security expenses, the company maintained a robust financial position with no bank debt and substantial cash reserves, bolstered by its solar plant and battery energy storage systems.
