(a)Rand gold contracts
Harmony maintains a derivative programme for some of the South African companies by entering into commodity
derivative contracts. The contracts comprise forward sale contracts and zero cost collars. Hedge accounting is applied to
these contracts.
(b)US$ commodity contracts
Harmony maintains a derivative programme for Hidden Valley by entering into commodity derivative contracts. The
contracts comprise US$ gold forward sale contracts as well as US$ gold zero cost collars and US$ silver zero cost collars
which establish a minimum (floor) and maximum (cap) commodity sales price. Hedge accounting is applied to all
US$ gold contracts, shown separately from the US$ silver zero cost collars that are not hedge accounted.
(c)Foreign exchange contracts
Harmony maintains a foreign exchange derivative programme in the form of zero cost collars, which sets a floor and cap
Rand/US$ exchange rate at which to convert US dollars to Rands, and foreign exchange forward contracts (FECs). Hedge
accounting is not applied to these contracts.

1Includes deferred tax of R39 million.
Hedge accounting
During April 2024, Harmony added gold zero cost collar (gold collar) hedging contracts to the gold forward sale derivative
contracts to hedge the risk of lower gold prices. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to the majority of these contracts,
resulting in the effective portion of the unrealised gains and losses being recorded in other comprehensive income (other
reserves – refer to note 23). Refer to note 37 for a summary of the risk management strategy applied and the balances relating
to designated hedging instruments as at reporting date.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness
assessments. The group enters into gold forward and gold zero cost collar contracts that have similar terms as the hedged item,
such as notional amount, maturity date and reference gold spot price thereby ensuring that an economic relationship exists
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item and resulting in a hedge ratio of 1:1. Potential sources of hedge
ineffectiveness include counterparty and own credit risk, day one gains and losses, a mismatch in the timing of the derivative and
underlying gold sale maturities, location differential and the refining margin. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by comparing the
change in the expected cash flows from a forward sale contract/zero cost collar contract versus the sale of an equivalent quantity
of gold in the open market. Ineffectiveness results when the changes in the fair values in the hedging instruments exceed the fair
value changes in the hedged item. A negligible amount of hedge ineffectiveness was experienced in the years presented.

Hedge accounting continued
The gains and losses from derivative contracts to which hedge accounting is not applied are included in gains/(losses) on
derivatives in profit or loss.
