Johannesburg, Tuesday, 3 February 2026. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony”) is pleased to announce that it expects a solid financial performance for the six-month period ended 31 December 2025 (H1FY26), supported by elevated gold prices and continued strong free-cash-flow generation.

Operational performance in the second quarter of the financial year 2026, was impacted by mill motor failure and a deferment of the final gold shipment to January 2026, at Hidden Valley.

Although underground average mining grades were in line with expectations, recovered grades were adversely affected by lower metallurgical recoveries and the impact of an industry-wide cyanide shortage in South Africa.

These temporary factors are being addressed. We still expect to meet our full-year production guidance of between 1 400 000 and
1 500 000oz, at an all-in-sustaining cost (AISC) of between
R1 150 000/kg to R1 220 000/kg and underground recovered grade at above 5.8g/t. As previously indicated, guidance for the newly acquired CSA mine - Harmony’s copper operation in New South Wales, Australia, will be provided with the release of our interim results.

Integration activities at the high-grade CSA copper mine are progressing well, with initial activities focusing on integrating the mine into Harmony’s systems, processes and culture. At the Eva Copper Project, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor has been appointed and is expected to mobilise to site during the March 2026 quarter.

The Company’s fundamentals remain robust, underpinned by improved safety performance, a healthy balance sheet, investment in higher-quality orebodies, and sustained margin improvement across the portfolio.

Harmony continues to advance its review of the balance sheet to ensure an optimal capital structure that supports funding for our long-term growth projects and sustains robust cash flow generation. This work is aimed at enhancing financial flexibility while

Comprehensive operational and financial details will be provided when our interim results are released.

The Harmony executive leadership team is participating in the Investing in African Mining Indaba, to be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 9 to 12 February 2026.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Beyers Nel, will participate in a fireside chat on Monday, 9 February 2026, at 15:20, while Financial Director, Boipelo Lekubo, will take part in a panel discussion on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, at 11:40.

Harmony’s participation reflects the Company’s ongoing engagement with global investors and industry stakeholders.

The Company will publish its interim operating and financial results for the 2026 financial year, on Wednesday, 11 March 2026, at 07:05, South African time (SAST). An in-person presentation will be delivered by the CEO at 10:00 SAST at the JSE Limited in Sandton, South Africa.
