b4185425d405be4983ae85b18a2f41b5 SASOL LIMITED: PRODUCTION AND SALES METRICS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

JOHANNESBURG, January 23, 2025 — Sasol’s production and sales data for the six months ending December 31, 2024 are available on the company website’s Investor Centre section: .

In December 2024, Sasol approved a final investment decision (FID) for a coal destoning solution to improve Secunda Operations (SO) coal quality. This solution is expected to be operational in the first half of fiscal year 2026, ahead of schedule.

Civil unrest in Mozambique impacted the Central Processing Facility (CPF) in December 2024, reducing production. The CPF is now operating at full capacity, though near-term risks remain.

A fire at the Natref refinery on January 4, 2025, damaged piping and infrastructure near the Crude Distillation Unit. The fire was quickly contained with no injuries. Repairs should be finished before the end of February 2025, and measures are in place to address potential supply shortages.

SO experienced operational challenges due to ongoing coal quality issues, affecting gasifier and equipment availability. Destoning and equipment upgrades aim to improve future production.

International Chemicals revenue increased compared to the first half of fiscal year 24, despite a difficult market. Sales volumes were affected by the US East Cracker outage, which was successfully restarted in November 2024. Profitability improved thanks to proactive management.

Mining and Gas market guidance remains unchanged, while SO and Natref annual volume outlooks have been lowered due to operational challenges. Fuels and Chemicals Africa sales volumes are expected to be similar to fiscal year 24. Sasol is focused on improving performance and addressing challenges.

ORYX production volume guidance was raised.

International Chemicals sales volume guidance is lowered to 4-8% below fiscal year 24 due to weaker demand and unplanned outages. However, cost management and improved margins mitigated the financial impact.
