[1] Earnings decreased by 72% to R4.5 billion compared to the prior period. This resulted from a 9% decrease in the rand per barrel price of Brent crude oil, softer global chemical prices and refining margins, lower productivity at our Mining operations and a negative contribution from the LCCP. As the LCCP units progress through the sequential beneficial operation schedule, our revenues do not yet match the costs expensed. We do expect that for the second half of FY20 revenue will match the costs expensed better. The LCCP negatively impacted earnings by R2.8 billion. Earnings were further impacted by approximately R2.0 billion in finance charges for the period as the LCCP units reach beneficial operation.
