AngloGold Ashanti delivers record free cash flow* of $1.2bn and EBITDA*(4) of $2.3bn • Gold production(1)(2) +1% • Net cash*(4) of $868m • Q1 2026 interim dividend of $585m, or 116 cps
Proposed $2.0bn share repurchase programme announced
London, Denver, Johannesburg, 8 May 2026 - AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti", "AGA", the "Company" or the "Group") posted record free cash flow* of $1.2bn in Q1 2026, almost triple the Q1 2025 amount, following steady performances from most of its operating assets and the continued high gold price. The Company remains on track to meet its 2026 annual guidance.
An interim dividend for Q1 2026 was declared of $585m, or 116 US cents per share, a new record, compared to 12.5 US cents per share declared in Q1 2025. On 7 May 2026, the Board of Directors approved a proposed share repurchase programme for AngloGold Ashanti's ordinary shares of up to $2.0bn, subject to shareholder approval.
"Our focus remains to control what we can control - managing underlying costs and ensuring safe, predictable operating results," said CEO Alberto Calderon. "That has again enabled us to deliver record free cash flow* and cash returns to our shareholders, while moving our organic growth projects forward."
AngloGold Ashanti continues to focus on a series of key strategic initiatives: delivery of predictable operating results; providing competitive returns to shareholders; bringing a large, new production centre into operation in southern Nevada; the steady ramp-up of its Obuasi mine in Ghana; and realising a series of organic growth projects at its mines in Tanzania, Guinea, Egypt and Brazil.
At Obuasi, following the end of Q1 2026 on 24 April 2026, a contractor was fatally injured following a release of waste material from an underground ore pass. A comprehensive investigation into the incident is underway, with the express aim of ensuring that similar incidents do not occur in the future. The family and colleagues affected by this tragedy are receiving ongoing support.
"We are heartbroken by the loss of our colleague and offer our deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones," said CEO Alberto Calderon. "Safety has always been our first and highest priority and we will ensure we understand the root cause of this incident and apply every lesson learned."
During Q1 2026, safety remained at the core of continuous improvement efforts. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") at the Company's managed operations(1) improved to
0.86 injuries per million hours worked in Q1 2026, compared to
0.97 injuries per million hours worked for 2025. While these injury rates remained well below industry averages, the incident at Obuasi underscored the importance of continued vigilance in the face of workplace hazards.
Free cash flow*, the strongest for a single quarter, represented a 190% increase year-on-year to $1.2bn in Q1 2026 from $403m in Q1 2025. Net cash flow from operating activities was up 136% year-on-year to $1.7bn in Q1 2026 (from $725m in Q1 2025). The average gold price received per ounce*(1) in Q1 2026 was 69% higher year-on-year compared to Q1 2025.
EBITDA*(4) increased 130% year-on-year to $2.3bn in Q1 2026 (from $1.0bn in Q1 2025), while headline earnings(3) rose 187% to $1.3bn in Q1 2026, or 252 US cents per share (from $447m, or 88 US cents per share, in Q1 2025).
In line with the Company's dividend policy, the base dividend of
$63m or 12.5 US cents per share was declared for Q1 2026. This was topped up to 50% of free cash flow*, to arrive at the interim dividend declaration of $585m, or 116 US cents per share.
The balance sheet continued to strengthen, swinging from $755m of net debt*(4) in Q1 2025 to $868m of net cash*(4) at the end of Q1 2026, all while making a series of record dividend payments in the intervening quarters.
Capitalising on the robust balance sheet and strong liquidity position, on 16 April 2026, the Company bought back approximately $666m principal amount of its outstanding bonds, further optimising its capital structure and improving its overall flexibility through the cycle.
The strategic decision by the Board to approve a proposed $2bn share repurchase programme is underpinned by stronger cash generation capabilities and the prospective financial outlook for the business. The proposed share repurchase programme is intended to offer another vector for shareholder returns, and align the Company's capital return framework with its North American peers. The proposed share repurchase programme reflects AngloGold Ashanti's disciplined approach to capital allocation, utilising excess liquidity to reduce ordinary shares in issue thereby increasing per-share value, earnings and cash flow for its
shareholders.
External pressures from inflation, exchange rates and royalties led to a year-on-year increase in total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1) to $1,391/oz in Q1 2026, from $1,223/oz in Q1 2025.
The Company's continued focus on its Full Asset Potential programme and rigorous cost discipline held total cash costs per ounce* for managed operations(1) at $1,377/oz in Q1 2026. These external pressures included a $117/oz rise in royalties due to
8 May 2026
record realised gold prices, alongside $43/oz in inflationary impacts, specifically related to higher labour and mining contractor costs, and a $30/oz impact from foreign exchange movements.
Crucially, structural efficiencies delivered through the Full Asset Potential programme reduced underlying, controllable costs by
$22/oz in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. Targeted optimisation of plant throughput (-$103/oz), improved open pit volume efficiencies (-$15/oz), and by-product credits (-$64/oz) successfully absorbed residual operating pressures.
This disciplined cost management ensured the higher gold price was translated into expanded margins, with the total cash cost margin* for the Group(1) increasing from 57% in Q1 2025 to 71% in Q1 2026.
Gold production for the Group(1)(2) remained stable, increasing to 724,000oz in Q1 2026, up from 720,000oz (or 710,000oz excluding Serra Grande) in Q1 2025. The result was driven by a solid performance from most managed operations(1)(2), partially offset by lower gold production at Kibali. At managed operations(1)(2), gold production rose 1% year-on-year to 666,000oz in Q1 2026, while total cash costs per ounce* and all-in sustaining costs per ounce* ("AISC") increased by 14% and 19% year-on-year in Q1 2026 to $1,377/oz and $1,980/oz, respectively, compared to Q1 2025. Meanwhile non-managed joint ventures experienced an 8% year-on-year reduction in gold production to 58,000oz in Q1 2026.
Year-on-year gold production improvements totalling 9koz (or 19koz excluding Serra Grande) were achieved for managed operations(1)(2) in Q1 2026, with higher gold production at Geita (+12koz), Cuiabá (+9koz), Obuasi (+8koz), Iduapriem (+4koz), Cerro Vanguardia (+3koz) and Tropicana (+2koz). These increases were partly offset by lower gold production contributions year-on-year in Q1 2026 from Sunrise Dam (-10koz), Siguiri (-5koz) and Sukari (-4koz), reflecting variations in mine sequencing and planned throughput compared to Q1 2025, alongside lower output from the remainder of the portfolio. The Serra Grande operation in Brazil was sold on 1 December 2025.
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1) increased by 14% year-on-year to $1,391/oz in Q1 2026 from $1,223/oz in Q1 2025, primarily reflecting higher royalty payments driven by the record gold price and the impact from underlying inflation, mainly due to increases in labour and mining contractor costs in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. AISC per ounce* for the Group(1) rose by 19% year-on-year to $1,955/oz in Q1 2026 from $1,640/oz in Q1 2025, driven mainly by the mechanical increase in gold price-linked royalties and a planned 29% increase in sustaining capital expenditure*.
The increase in sustaining capital expenditure* reflects deliberate and ongoing investment to advance the Full Asset Potential programme, support asset integrity, and ensure long-term operational resilience, in line with the Company's strategic priorities.
Total capital expenditure for the Group(1) was $467m in Q1 2026, up 39% year-on-year from $336m in Q1 2025. This included
$305m in sustaining capital expenditure* and $162m in non-sustaining capital expenditure*, the latter directed toward targeted development initiatives across the portfolio, particularly the advancement of the Nevada growth projects.
In response to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, the Company has activated its global supply chain resilience protocols to ensure operational continuity. Proactive mitigation measures include, among other things, increasing fuel stocks and inventory buffers of critical spares and consumables at key African and Australian operations.
During Q1 2026, the Company published the Technical Report Summary on the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Arthur Gold Project in Nevada(5). The study declared an initial Probable Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz of gold (88Mt at 1.75g/t), establishing the project as a cornerstone of the Company's US growth platform(5)(6).
"The exceptional economics detailed in the pre-feasibility study firmly establish the Arthur Gold Project as the cornerstone of our US growth platform," said CEO Alberto Calderon. "Generating an after-tax NPV of up to $3.46bn at a gold price of $3,500/oz with an IRR up to 26%, this project pairs immediate scale with outstanding financial returns. With a world-class oxide orebody, minimal technical risk, and a disciplined capital approach, we have a clear roadmap to driving immense long-term shareholder value in a premier mining jurisdiction."
The project demonstrates highly competitive economics and exceptional leverage to the gold price. At a $2,715/oz gold price, the project generates an estimated after-tax NPV (at a 5% discount rate) of $1.73bn to $1.78bn with an IRR of 15% to 19%. At a $3,500/oz gold price, the estimated after-tax NPV roughly doubles to $3.41bn to $3.46bn, driving the IRR up to 22% to 26%.
The operation is modelled to deliver an average annual production of approximately 500,000oz over an initial 9-year life of mine at a competitive life-of-mine AISC* of $925/oz-
$975/ oz(5)(6)(7). Because the Merlin reserve is predominantly oxide material (greater than 95%) amenable to conventional processing, the project is expected to avoid the complexity and technical risk of refractory processing. Feasibility-level environmental, hydrological and community baseline studies are already underway.
Full year 2026 guidance for gold production, costs and capital expenditure, which was issued in February 2026, remains unchanged.

Group Financial and Operating Results
Quarterly Review
Group gold production for Q1 2026 totalled 724,000oz, a 1% increase year-on-year from 720,000oz in Q1 2025, with solid year-on-year gold production increases at Geita (+12koz), Cuiabá (+9koz), Obuasi (+8koz), Iduapriem (+4koz), Cerro Vanguardia (+3koz) and Tropicana (+2koz). Excluding Serra Grande, which was sold on 1 December 2025, there was a 2% year-on-year increase in gold production for the Group in Q1 2026.
Geita delivered a strong Q1 2026, with gold production increasing by 10% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, with higher open pit mined tonnes from Nyamulilima Cut 2 and higher underground mined tonnes due to improved stope flexibility. Tonnes treated increased by 20% year-on-year due to higher mill throughput and availability, with Q1 2025 impacted by a planned mill shutdown.
Gold production at Cuiabá increased by 16% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, with total tonnes processed including concentrate ore, increasing by 34%, partly offset by lower mill head grade as a result of higher dilution from underground ore.
Obuasi achieved substantive improvements during Q1 2026, with gold production increasing by 15% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, mainly driven by an increase in tonnes treated from underground operations, with an improvement in operating conditions and equipment availability.
The Group experienced lower gold production at Sunrise Dam (-10koz), mainly due to lower underground tonnes and grades resulting from lower loader availability from unplanned mechanical maintenance, as well as an increase in low grade stockpiles processed due to crusher challenges. There were modest decreases at Siguiri (-5koz), Kibali (-5koz) and Sukari (-4koz). Serra Grande, which produced 10koz in Q1 2025, was sold on 1 December 2025.
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group increased by 14% year-on-year to $1,391/oz in Q1 2026, compared to $1,223/oz in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher royalty costs linked to the stronger average gold price received per ounce*, which resulted in an estimated 10% increase in total cash costs per ounce*. In addition, costs increased as a result of an estimated 4% rise in inflation mainly due to increases in labour and mining contractor costs, reflecting consumer price index ("CPI") movements in the jurisdictions where the Group operates, including a stronger foreign currency exchange rate against the US Dollar which resulted in an estimated 2% increase in costs.
Managed operations recorded a 14% year-on-year increase in total cash costs per ounce*, rising from $1,213/oz in Q1 2025 to
$1,377/oz in Q1 2026. The impact of the higher gold royalties and inflation from higher labour and mining contractor costs were partially offset by stronger year-on-year production performances at Geita, Cuiabá, Obuasi, Iduapriem, Cerro Vanguardia and Tropicana, as well as higher by-product revenue at Cerro Vanguardia due to the higher silver price received in Q1 2026.
Total cash costs per ounce* at the Group's non-managed joint ventures increased by 17% year-on-year to $1,554/oz in Q1 2026, compared to $1,325/oz in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily driven by lower year-on-year gold production and higher gold price-linked royalties at Kibali.
All-in sustaining costs per ounce* ("AISC") for the Group increased by 19% year-on-year to $1,955/oz in Q1 2026, compared to $1,640/oz in Q1 2025. At the managed operations, AISC per ounce* increased by 19% year-on-year to $1,980/oz in Q1 2026, up from $1,657/oz in Q1 2025, primarily due to higher total cash costs per ounce* and higher year-on-year sustaining capital expenditure*. AISC per ounce* at the non-managed joint ventures increased by 17% year-on-year to $1,719/oz in Q1 2026, from $1,463/oz in Q1 2025, mainly due to a year-on-year increase in total cash costs per ounce*.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation* ("EBITDA*") for Q1 2026 increased to $2,291m, up from $996m in Q1 2025. This strong year-on-year growth was mainly underpinned by a favourable operating and market environment, including a higher average gold price received per ounce*, higher equity earnings from associates and non-managed joint ventures and favourable inventory movements. These gains were partially offset by lower gold sales volumes, higher total operating costs (mainly driven by increased royalty expenses and global inflation primarily due to increases in labour and mining contractor costs), higher corporate and exploration costs, and higher care and maintenance costs.
Basic earnings (profit attributable to equity shareholders) for Q1 2026 were $1,281m, or 252 US cents per share, compared to
$443m, or 88 US cents per share, in Q1 2025. The strong year-on-year increase was largely driven by a higher average gold price received per ounce*, higher equity earnings from associates and non-managed joint ventures and favourable inventory movements.
These positive contributions were partially offset by lower gold sales volumes, higher total operating costs, including increased royalty expenses, along with higher asset amortisation, higher corporate and exploration costs, higher care and maintenance costs, higher finance costs and unwinding of obligations, and a higher tax charge.

Headline earnings‡ for Q1 2026 were $1,285m, or 252 US cents per share, compared to $447m, or 88 US cents per share, in Q1 2025. The increase in headline earnings‡ reflects the same key drivers that supported the rise in basic earnings during Q1 2026. In addition, headline earnings‡ excludes impairment reversals/ impairments, asset derecognitions and losses (profits) on disposal of assets and taxes thereon.
‡ The financial measures "headline earnings (loss)" and "headline earnings (loss) per share" are not calculated in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards, but in accordance with the Headline Earnings Circular 1/2023, issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), at the request of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited (JSE). These measures are required to be disclosed by the JSE Listings Requirements and therefore do not constitute Non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the use and disclosure of Non-GAAP financial measures.
Net cash inflow from operating activities reached $1,709m in Q1 2026, representing a 136% year-on-year increase from $725m in Q1 2025. This strong performance was underpinned by a higher average gold price received per ounce* and higher dividends received from joint ventures. These gains were partially offset by higher total operating costs and increased tax payments.
After accounting for capital expenditure, loan repayments from Kibali, and distributions to non-controlling shareholders, the Company generated a free cash inflow* of $1,169m in Q1 2026, compared to $403m in Q1 2025.
The dividend policy targets a 50% payout of annual free cash flow*, subject to maintaining a net debt* to EBITDA* ratio of no higher than 1.0 times. The interim dividend for Q1 2026, is 116 US cents per share.
During Q1 2026, AngloGold Ashanti received $61m in dividends and $50m in loan repayments from the Kibali joint venture, compared to $60m in loan repayments in Q1 2025. The Company's attributable share of outstanding cash balances awaiting repatriation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") was $146m at 31 March 2026, up from $110m at 31 December 2025.
Free cash flow* during Q1 2026 was impacted by ongoing movements in value-added tax ("VAT") recoveries at Geita and Kibali and foreign exchange controls at Cerro Vanguardia ("CVSA"):
In Tanzania, the net overdue recoverable VAT input credit balance (after discounting provisions) decreased by $21m during Q1 2026 to $150m at 31 March 2026, down from
$171m at 31 December 2025. This decrease reflects the application of $31m in verified VAT claims against corporate tax liabilities and foreign exchange gains of $13m, partially offset by new claims submitted during the period of $21m, and a decrease in the discounting provision of $2m. AngloGold Ashanti expects to continue offsetting eligible VAT claims against corporate taxes as part of its recovery strategy.
In the DRC, the Company's attributable share of the net recoverable VAT balance (including fuel duties and after discounting provisions) remained similar to Q4 2025 totalling
$63m at 31 March 2026. During Q1 2026, $15m of new claims were submitted, which were fully offset by $15m in revaluation adjustments.
In Argentina, CVSA's cash balance increased by $174m# during Q1 2026 to $271m# at 31 March 2026, up from $97m# at 31 December 2025. The cash remains available for CVSA's operational and exploration requirements.
During Q4 2025, CVSA paid the remaining offshore dividends related to the 2024 financial year to AngloGold Ashanti by utilising a currency swap mechanism to secure the required US dollars. Dividends related to the 2025 financial year are expected to be paid to AngloGold Ashanti during Q2 2026, once CVSA's 2025 local financial statements will be finished and the relevant dividend distribution will be approved.

During Q1 2026, net debt* ended in a cash position, despite the payment of $1,026m in dividends during Q1 2026. Net cash* at 31 March 2026 was $868m, compared to net cash* of $624m at 31 December 2025.
At 31 March 2026, the balance sheet remained robust, supported by significant available liquidity. This included the undrawn
$1.4bn multi-currency revolving credit facility ("RCF"), the undrawn $65m Siguiri RCF and $5m undrawn on the Geita multi-currency RCF. AngloGold Ashanti held approximately $3.1bn in cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2026, bringing Group liquidity to approximately $4.6bn at 31 March 2026.
On 30 March 2026, AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc ("AGAH") launched a capped cash tender offer for up to $650m aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) ("Aggregate Cap") for part of its 3.375% notes due 2028 ("2028 Notes"), 3.750% notes
due 2030 ("2030 Notes") and 6.500% notes due 2040 ("2040 Notes"). The Aggregate Cap was met and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the capped cash tender offer, on 16 April 2026, AGAH purchased $559m principal amount of the 2028 Notes, $107m principal amount of the 2030 Notes and none of the 2040 Notes. The purchased notes were then cancelled on the same day. The purpose of the tender offer was to utilise available cash and reduce the overall principal amount of debt.
During Q1 2026, sustaining capital expenditure* of the Group increased by 29% year-on-year to $305m, compared to $236m in
Q1 2025. Sustaining capital expenditure* at managed operations rose by 30% year-on-year to $289m in Q1 2026, up from $223m in Q1 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increased Mineral Reserve development at Iduapriem and early acquisition of additional mining fleet at Siguiri. At non-managed joint ventures, sustaining capital expenditure* increased by 23% year-on-year to $16m in Q1 2026, from $13m in Q1 2025, mainly reflecting higher expenditure at Kibali on mining equipment and rebuilds to enhance both underground and open pit fleet availability.
Non-sustaining capital expenditure* for the Group was $162m in Q1 2026, a 62% increase year-on-year from $100m in Q1 2025. At managed operations, non-sustaining capital expenditure* rose by 74% year-on-year to $139m, from $80m in Q1 2025, largely due to tailings storage facility ("TSF") expenditure at Siguiri, with ongoing slope regulation to maintain stability of the TSF following the seepage issues experienced in Q3 2025, and an increase in Obuasi's underground decline development meters. This increase was partially offset by reduced growth capital expenditure at Iduapriem as a result of the completion of Phase 2 of the Beposo TSF project in Q1 2025.
Non-managed joint ventures recorded a 15% year-on-year increase in non-sustaining capital expenditure* to $23m in Q1 2026, from $20m in Q1 2025, mainly driven by higher expenditure at Kibali on waste stripping for the Pamao deposition project.

Quarter in review
Notes
(a) Operated by Barrick Mining Corporation (Barrick)
$1,492/oz for Q1 2026, compared to 54,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,284/oz during Q1 2025. Gold production increased by 15% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. The strong production performance was mainly as a result of improved underground operational conditions and equipment availability, partially offset by lower recovered grade year-on-year stemming from lower plant recoveries.
Total cash costs per ounce* increased by 16% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher operating costs associated with increased royalties linked to the higher gold price, higher labour and mining contractor costs, increases in technical services due to updated rates, and higher reagents and power expenditure related to increased operational activity,
partially offset by a higher production base and an increase in metal inventories.
Australia region In the Australia region, gold production (on an attributable basis) was 127,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,798/oz in Q1 2026, compared to 135,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,456/oz
in Q1 2025.
At Tropicana, gold production (on an attributable basis) was 76,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,456/oz in Q1 2026, compared to 74,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,317/oz in Q1 2025. Gold production increased by 3% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to a marginal 2% year-on-year increase in tonnes treated and a marginal 1% year-on-year increase in recovered grade stemming from improved head grade, partially offset by lower plant recoveries in Q1 2026. Total cash costs per ounce* increased by 11% year-on-year in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to increased mining contractor costs, increased royalties linked to the higher gold price, as well as higher labour costs, partially offset by lower volume-related open pit mining costs and a build-up of metal inventories.

Corporate Update
Quarter in review
As at 7 May 2026, the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company consisted of 505,609,800 ordinary shares of $1.00 each. Each AngloGold Ashanti ordinary share carries one voting right. The Company does not hold any of its ordinary shares in treasury.
This figure may be used by AngloGold Ashanti shareholders to determine whether they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company under its Articles of Association or to comply with any other applicable laws and regulations.
On 7 May 2026, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a proposed share repurchase programme for AngloGold Ashanti's ordinary shares of up to $2.0bn. The implementation of the proposed share repurchase programme is, among other things, subject to receiving shareholder approval, which the Company intends to seek by convening a general meeting of the Company's shareholders in due course, as well as any applicable regulatory approvals.
The implementation of the proposed share repurchase programme (including the timing, structure, manner, price and number of AngloGold Ashanti ordinary shares repurchased) will also depend on a number of factors, such as the Company's financial performance, availability of cash flows, business and
market conditions, and legal and regulatory requirements, and will be subject to the Company's discretion. The proposed share repurchase programme does not obligate AngloGold Ashanti to acquire any particular number of its ordinary shares, and the proposed share repurchase programme may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
On 13 April 2026, AngloGold Ashanti completed the sale of AngloGold Ashanti Colombia S.A.S., which owns the La Colosa project in the Department of Tolima in Colombia, to Mineros S.A. for a cash consideration of approximately $10m and an additional contingent consideration of up to $60m (linked to the total tonnage of mineral ore authorised under an approved work plan and environmental licence).
Mr. Bruce Cleaver was appointed as a member of the Nominations and Governance Committee with effect from 7 May 2026. He continues to serve as Chair of the Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee and as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee.
For detailed disclosure on the exploration work done for the three months ended 31 March 2026, see the Exploration Update document on the Company's website at https://www.anglogoldashanti.com on both brownfield and greenfield exploration programmes.

AngloGold Ashanti's operating segments are being reported based on the financial information regularly provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Committee, collectively identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Individual members of the Executive Committee are responsible for geographic regions of the business. Under the Group's operating model, the financial results and the composition of the operating segments are reported to the CODM per geographical region and the Projects segment which comprises all the major non-sustaining capital projects with the potential to be developed into operating entities. In addition to the geographical reportable segments structure, the Group has voluntarily disaggregated and disclosed the financial information on a line-by-line basis for each mining operation to facilitate comparability of mine performance.

Non-GAAP Disclosure Results
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti may publicly disclose certain "Non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls and otherwise.
In this document, AngloGold Ashanti presents the financial items "total cash costs", "total cash costs per ounce", "all-in sustaining costs", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce", "average gold price received per ounce", "total cash cost margin", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure", which have been determined using industry guidelines and practices and are not measures under IFRS. In addition, AngloGold Ashanti also presents the financial items "EBITDA", "net debt (cash)" and "free cash flow" which are not measures under IFRS either. An investor should not consider these items in isolation or as alternatives to cost of sales, gold income, capital expenditure, profit (loss) for the period, total borrowings, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Group's performance. The Group uses certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing the business and may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported operating results or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures that other companies use.
The term "managed operations" refers to subsidiaries managed by AngloGold Ashanti and included in its consolidated reporting, while the term "non-managed joint ventures" refers to equity-accounted joint ventures that are reported based on AngloGold Ashanti's share of attributable earnings and are not managed by AngloGold Ashanti. Managed operations are reported on a consolidated basis. Non-managed joint ventures are reported on an attributable basis.
During 2018, the World Gold Council ("WGC"), an industry body, published a revised Guidance Note on the "all-in sustaining costs" metric, which gold mining companies can use to supplement their overall Non-GAAP disclosure. The WGC worked closely with its members (including AngloGold Ashanti) to develop these Non-GAAP measures which are intended to provide further transparency into the full cost associated with producing gold. It is expected that this metric, which AngloGold Ashanti provides herein, will be helpful to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of gold mining.
"All-in sustaining costs" is a Non-GAAP measure which is an extension of the existing "total cash costs" metric and incorporates all costs related to sustaining production and in particular, recognises sustaining capital expenditures associated with developing and maintaining gold mines. In addition, this metric includes the cost associated with Corporate Office structures that support these operations, the community and environmental rehabilitation costs attendant with responsible mining and any exploration and evaluation cost associated with sustaining current operations. "All-in sustaining costs per ounce - managed operations" ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the consolidated US dollar value of this cost metric by the consolidated ounces of gold sold. "All-in sustaining costs per ounce - non-managed joint ventures" ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the attributable US dollar value of this cost metric by the attributable ounces of gold sold.
"Total cash costs" is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Gold Institute industry standard and industry practice and is a Non-GAAP measure. The Gold Institute, which has been incorporated into the National Mining Association, is a non-profit international association of miners, refiners, bullion suppliers and manufacturers of gold products, which developed a uniform format for reporting total cash costs on a per ounce basis. The guidance was first adopted in 1996 and revised in November 1999.
"Total cash costs" is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, include costs for all mining, processing, onsite administration costs, royalties and production taxes, as well as contributions from by-products, but exclude amortisation of tangible, intangible and right of use assets, rehabilitation costs and other non-cash costs, retrenchment costs, corporate administration, marketing and related costs, capital costs and exploration costs. "Total cash costs per ounce - managed operations" ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the consolidated US dollar value of this cost metric by the consolidated ounces of gold produced. "Total cash costs per ounce - non-managed joint ventures" ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the attributable US dollar value of this cost metric by the attributable ounces of gold produced.
"Average gold price received per ounce" is a Non-GAAP measure which gives an indication of revenue earned per ounce of gold sold and serves as a benchmark of performance against the market spot gold price. "Average gold price received per ounce - managed operations" is calculated by dividing the consolidated US dollar value of this revenue metric by the consolidated ounces of gold sold. "Average gold price received per ounce - non-managed joint ventures" is calculated by dividing the attributable US dollar value of this revenue metric by the attributable ounces of gold sold.
"Total cash cost margin" is a Non-GAAP measure which gives an indication of profitability after covering total cash costs, representing the difference between the average realised price of gold per ounce and the total cash costs per ounce required to produce it, expressed on a percentage basis. "Total cash cost margin" is calculated by AngloGold Ashanti as "average gold price received per ounce" minus "total cash costs per ounce", divided by "average gold price received per ounce", expressed on a percentage basis.
"Sustaining capital expenditure" is a Non-GAAP measure comprising capital expenditure incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at their current productive capacity in order to achieve constant planned levels of productive output and capital expenditure to extend useful lives of existing production assets. This includes replacement of vehicles, plant and machinery, Mineral Reserve development, deferred stripping and capital expenditure related to financial benefit initiatives, safety, health and the environment.
"Non-sustaining capital expenditure" is a Non-GAAP measure comprising capital expenditure incurred at new operations and capital expenditure related to 'major projects' at existing operations where these projects will materially increase production.
While the Gold Institute provided definitions for the calculation of "total cash costs" and the WGC published a revised Guidance Note on the "all-in sustaining costs" metric during 2018, the calculation of "total cash costs", "total cash costs per ounce", "all-in sustaining costs" and "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" may vary significantly among gold mining companies, and by themselves do not necessarily provide a basis for comparison with other gold mining companies.
However, AngloGold Ashanti believes that "total cash costs" and "all-in sustaining costs" in total by mine and per ounce by mine as well as "average gold price received per ounce", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure" are useful indicators to investors and management as they provide:
an indication of profitability, efficiency and cash flows;
the trend in costs as the mining operations mature over time on a consistent basis; and
an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines, both within the Group and at other gold mining companies.
Management prepares its internal management reporting documentation, for use and decision making by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), on a total basis.
The key metrics are based on the total ounces, gold income, "total cash costs", "all-in sustaining costs", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure" from each operation and as a consequence includes AngloGold Ashanti's share of the "total cash costs", "all-in sustaining costs", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure" of its non-managed joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method. In a capital intensive industry, this basis allows management to make operating and resource allocation decisions on a comparable basis between mining operations irrespective of whether they are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. This basis of calculating the metrics is consistent with the WGC's Guidance Note on the "all-in sustaining costs" metric.
Although AngloGold Ashanti has shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with its ownership interests in its equity-accounted non-managed joint ventures and reviews the underlying operating results including "total cash costs", "all-in sustaining costs", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure" with them at each reporting period, it does not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses, nor does it have a proportionate legal interest in each financial statement line item. AngloGold Ashanti's use of "total cash costs", "all-in sustaining costs", "sustaining capital expenditure" and "non-sustaining capital expenditure" on a total basis, is not intended to imply that it has any such control or proportionate legal interest, but rather to reflect the Non-GAAP measures on a basis consistent with its internal and external segmental reporting.
"EBITDA" is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes profit (loss) for the period, adding back finance costs and unwinding of obligations, taxation, amortisation of tangible, right of use and intangible assets, and other amortisation, less finance income for the period.
To enhance comparability with industry peers, AngloGold Ashanti will present EBITDA, and will not further adjust this metric in its reporting. Comparative periods will also reflect this change.
"Net debt (cash)" is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents (net of bank overdraft).
To enhance comparability with industry peers, AngloGold Ashanti will present net debt (cash), and will not further adjust this metric in its reporting. Comparative periods will also reflect this change.
"Free cash flow" is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes operating cash flow less capital expenditure. Operating cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities, plus repayment of loans advanced to joint ventures, less distributions to non-controlling interests.
