(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. The US$ copper swaps were recognised as part of
the MAC Copper acquisition and were entered into to hedge the copper price risk related to the copper production at CSA
mine. Hedge accounting is applied to all US$ gold contracts, shown separately from the US$ silver zero cost collars and the
US$ copper swaps that are not hedge accounted.
17Derivative financial instruments continued
(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). All the
FECs matured during the 2026 financial year. Hedge accounting is not applied to these contracts.

Hedge accounting
Harmony enters into gold zero cost collar (gold collar) hedging contracts and 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.
17Derivative financial instruments continued
Hedge accounting continued
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.
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.
