Sasol's financial performance for the six months ended 31&nbsp;December&nbsp;2024 was impacted by a challenging macroeconomic and operating environment. Stringent cost and efficient capital management helped to off-set the impact and improve free cash flow generation compared to the six months ended 31&nbsp;December&nbsp;2023 (the prior period).
Revenue of R122,1 billion is 10% lower than the prior period, mainly as a result of:
<ul>
<li>A 13% decline in the average Rand per barrel Brent crude oil price and a significant decline in refining margins and fuel price differentials; and</li>
<li>A 5% decrease in sales volumes as a result of lower production and lower market demand as detailed in the Production and Sales Metrics published on 23 January 2025.</li>
</ul>
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA) of R23,9&nbsp;billion is 15% lower compared to the prior period mainly as a result of the aforementioned lower revenue with stringent cost management implemented in response helping to mitigate the impact. The relative contribution from International Chemicals increased from 6% to 13%.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of R9,5 billion is 40% lower than the prior period and impacted by non-cash adjustments including:
<ul>
<li>A net loss of R6,2 billion from remeasurement items compared to a net loss of R5,8 billion in the prior period, mainly due to further impairments of the Secunda liquid fuels refinery cash generating unit (CGU) of R5,0 billion and the Sasolburg liquid fuels refinery CGU of R0,6 billion. Both CGUs remain fully impaired, resulting in amounts capitalised during the current period being impaired.</li>
<li>Unrealised losses of R0,1 billion on the translation of monetary assets and liabilities, and valuation of financial instruments and derivative contracts compared to unrealised gains of R2,7 billion in the prior period.</li>
</ul>
As a result of the above, basic earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 52% to R7,22 per share and Headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased by 31% to R14,13 per share compared to the prior period.
Cash generated by operating activities increased by 20% to R17,6 billion compared to the prior period mainly due to changes in working capital. Capital expenditure, excluding movement in capital project related payables, amounted to R15,0 billion, 6% lower than the prior period.
At 31 December 2024, our total debt was R116,9 billion (US$6,2 billion) compared to R117,7&nbsp;billion (US$6,5 billion) at 30 June 2024. Sasol deposited R5,4 billion (US$0,3 billion) on the Revolving credit facility during the current period. Our net debt (excluding leases) was R81,8&nbsp;billion (US$4,3 billion) compared to R73,7 billion (US$4,1 billion) at 30 June 2024 with the increase due to the aforementioned negative free cash flow.

Sasol Projects Up To 61% Drop In EPS And 11%-22% Decline In Adjusted EBITDA Amid Lower Oil Prices And Sales Volumes For Six Months Ended December 2024

Sasol has published its production and sales performance metrics for the six months ended 31 December 2024 on the Company´s website at <a href="http://www.sasol.com/">www.sasol.com</a>, under the Investor Centre section: <a href="https://www.sasol.com/investor-centre/financial-results">https://www.sasol.com/investor-centre/financial-results</a>.
Sasol took a Final Investment Decision (FID) in December 2024 for a destoning solution to enhance the coal quality supplied to Secunda Operations (SO), with beneficial operation of the solution expected in H1 FY26 which is earlier than the previous communicated date.
The civil unrest in Mozambique affected the Central Processing Facility (CPF), leading to reduced production rates in December 2024. The situation at the CPF has improved and the unit is now operating at full capacity, albeit with heightened near-term risk still prevalent.
On 4 January 2025, a fire occurred at the Natref refinery that caused damage to supporting piping and infrastructure around the Crude Distillation Unit. Our team responded swiftly to contain the fire, with no reported injuries. Repairs are anticipated to be completed before the end of February 2025 and plans are being implemented, including product purchases to address supply shortfalls, where possible.
At SO we have experienced operational challenges, largely related to ongoing coal quality complications and the consequent impact on gasifier and equipment availability. The implementation of destoning and ongoing equipment reliability improvement initiatives are expected to improve production levels going forward.
International Chemicals revenue improved compared to H1 FY24, though the overall business environment remains challenging. Sales volumes in the quarter continued to be negatively impacted by the East Cracker outage in the US. However, the unit started up successfully in November 2024. Overall profitability has improved due to proactive management initiatives.
Market guidance for both Mining and Gas remains unchanged, with the annual volume outlook for SO and Natref revised downward due to the aforementioned challenges. Consequently, we expect sales volumes for Fuels and Chemicals Africa to be largely in line with FY24. Despite the operational challenges faced during the quarter, we remain committed to executing key self-help initiatives aimed at improving performance and mitigating the challenges we face.
ORYX production volume guidance was revised upwards.
Sales volume guidance for International Chemicals has been adjusted downward to 4 - 8% lower than FY24, driven by weaker-than-expected demand and unplanned operational outages. However, the financial impact has been mitigated through effective cost management initiatives, and improved margins compared to the prior period.

Sasol Ltd Reported 2024 EBIT Decline Of Over 100% YoY, EPS Decline Of 66% YoY

&nbsp;Shareholders and&nbsp;noteholders are referred to the SENS announcement of&nbsp;2 May 2024, where Sasol advised that Mr&nbsp;Hanr&eacute; Rossouw will step down as Chief Financial Officer and executive director of Sasol Limited on&nbsp;31 October 2024&nbsp;to pursue a career opportunity.&nbsp;

Sasol Names Walt Bruns As CFO, Effective September 1, Following Hanré Rossouw's Departure

Sasol Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSL#NYSE">SSL</a>) shares are trading lower after it reported its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40305881/sasol-limited-trading-statement-for-the-financial-year-ended-30-june-2024-and-retirement-of-non-ex" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading statement for FY24</a>.
The company expects an adjusted EBITDA decline of 2% to 17%, falling from R66.3 billion in the previous year to between R54.7 billion and R64.7 billion.
Sasol&#8217;s financial results were hurt by challenging market conditions, including low chemicals prices and tight margins.
However, these effects were partially mitigated by a stronger rand, higher oil prices, improved refining margins, and increased sales volumes. Stronger operational performance in the fourth quarter&nbsp;also boosted results in the latter half of the year.
For the year, earnings fell by over 100%, largely due to non-cash adjustments, including a net loss of R55.8 billion after tax (R75.4 billion gross) from impairments.
This included R45.5 billion (net of tax) for the Chemicals America Ethane value chain, R3.9 billion (net of tax) for Chemicals Africa&#8217;s Polyethylene, Chlor-Alkali, Polyvinyl Chloride, and Wax value chains, and R5.7 billion (net of tax) for the Secunda liquid fuels refinery, all driven by weaker market conditions and lower pricing.
The results also reflect an R15.3 billion derecognition of deferred tax assets from unutilized losses in Chemicals America and R4.7 billion in unrealized gains from asset translations and financial instrument valuations.
For FY24, Sasol expects core headline earnings per share (CHEPS) to range between R35.03 and R43.62, down 9% to 27% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the previous year&#8217;s R47.71</a>.
Price Action: SSL shares are down 2.38% at $6.97 at the last check Monday.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>) is a &#8220;terrific industrial company that really is making a great move in the data center.&#8221; 
&#8220;Dover is going to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DOV/earnings">big name for me</a>,&#8221; he added.
Dover is expected to release second-quarter 2024 earnings on Thursday, July 25. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $2.21 per share, up from $2.05 per share in the year-ago period. The company is projected to post revenue of $2.14 billion, compared to $2.2 billion a year earlier.
When asked about Sasol Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSL#NYSE">SSL</a>), he said, &#8220;No, if you're going to do that you want to buy Dow, no longer Dow Chemicals, Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>).&#8221;
On June 20, Sasol announced that the court ruled in favor of the company and TotalEnergies Marketing.

&#8220;Don't panic, understand that they're coming down, just as a sector rotation,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about CAVA Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>).
On June 5, after a SEC filing disclosed that the company&#8217;s largest shareholder, Artal International, filed a notice regarding an order to sell 3 million shares following a conversion of Series E preferred stock into common stock.
When asked about New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFE#NASDAQ">NFE</a>), he said, &#8220;I think the problem here is, frankly, that President Biden put a pause. And I know that there's a judge that said no to that, but I think it put the whole multi-year plan under question, and that's why it's going down.&#8221;
On July 1, New Fortress Energy announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its liquefaction and storage facility in Miami, Florida to a U.S. middle-market infrastructure fund.

Sasol shares are trading higher after the company announced that the court ruled in favor of the company and TotalEnergies Marketing. Also, it was awarded R3.89B in damages and approximately R2.3B in interest.

Sasol Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSL#NYSE">SSL</a>) shares are trading higher after the company was awarded compensation in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/n39407147/high-court-awards-damages-to-sasol-against-transnet" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">High Court ruling against Transnet</a>.
On June 18, the High Court ruled in favor of Sasol Oil and TotalEnergies, awarding Sasol Oil damages of 3.89 billion rand (US$217 million) plus about 2.3 billion rand in interest, for a total of about $344 million.
Transnet SOC Ltd., through its business unit Transnet Pipelines, transports crude oil for Sasol Oil and TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) Marketing Ltd from Durban to the Natref crude oil refinery in Sasolburg.
Sasol Oil holds 63.64% of the shares in Natref, while TotalEnergies holds 36.36%.
Notably, in 2017, Sasol Oil, after TotalEnergies, filed a lawsuit against Transnet for damages caused by its failure to comply with its obligation to set pipeline tariffs for transporting crude oil under a 1991 agreement.
This breach led to Transnet&#8217;s overcharging Sasol Oil for crude oil transportation over an extended period.
The litigation between the parties has spanned several years. The remaining issues in the litigation went to trial in the High Court of South Africa from April 15 to May 3, 2024.
Transnet reportedly disclosed its intention to appeal a court decision that awarded Sasol and TotalEnergies around 6.2 billion rand ($344 million) in damages and interest to resolve a tariff dispute, reported Reuters.
Transnet said in a statement, &#8220;The judgment thus has enormous implications not only for the public purse but also for Transnet&#8217;s ability to discharge its obligations,&#8221;
Price Action: SSL shares are up 3.45% at $7.50 premarket at the last check Thursday.

The Court Ruled In Favor Of Sasol Oil And Totalenergies, Awarding Sasol Oil R3.89B In Damages Plus Approximately R2.3B In Interest

In a market dealing with external shocks, value investing, or the strategy of putting money in underappreciated stocks, is fast gaining popularity. Although these stocks are apparently cheap compared to their peers, investment is made with the hope that the stock price will appreciate reasonably to match the intrinsic value of the business.
Several stocks that have surged significantly in the recent past have shown the overwhelming success of this pure-play investment strategy. Here, we discuss three such stocks &mdash; Eldorado Gold (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ego#NYSE">EGO</a>), Sasol (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssl#NYSE">SSL</a>) and DaVita (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dva#NYSE">DVA</a>).
<h3>More on Value Investing</h3>
While searching for a suitable investment option, value investors with varied risk appetite are unlikely to consider price/earnings to growth ratio among a number of other popular metrics like price/earnings (P/E), price/sales (P/S) or price/book value (P/B).
This is because they often find this ratio complicated, considering the limitations in calculating the future earnings growth potential of a stock. Yardsticks such as dividend yield, P/E and P/B are most commonly used to single out stocks trading at a discount.
However, these ratios, while not taking into account the future growth potential of a stock, may end up convincing us to invest in stocks that are at a discount just because of their poor show. This may often lead to &quot;value traps&quot; &mdash; a situation when these value picks start to underperform over the long run as temporary problems, which, once pulled down the share price, turn out to be persistent.
In such a case, even if you buy a stock at less than its fair value, you might still end up paying more. And here comes the importance of this not-so-popular but crucial value investing metric, the PEG ratio.
The PEG ratio is defined as (Price/ Earnings)/Earnings Growth Rate
A low PEG ratio is always better for value investors.
While P/E alone fails to identify a true value stock, PEG helps to find the intrinsic value of a stock.
There are some drawbacks to using the PEG ratio, though. It doesn&#39;t consider the common situation of changing growth rates, such as the forecast of the first three years at a very high growth rate, followed by a sustainable but lower growth rate in the long term.
Hence, PEG-based investing can turn out to be even more rewarding if some other relevant parameters are also taken into consideration.
Here are some of the screening criteria for a winning strategy:
PEG Ratio less than X Industry Median
P/E Ratio (using F1) less than X Industry Median (for more accurate valuation purpose)
Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) (Whether good market conditions or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1&nbsp;or 2 have a proven history of success.)
Market Capitalization greater than $1 Billion (This helps us to focus on companies that have strong liquidity.)
Average 20-Day Volume greater than 50,000 (A substantial trading volume ensures that the stock is easily tradable.)
Percentage Change F1 Earnings Estimate Revisions (4 Weeks) greater than 5% (Upward estimate revisions add to the optimism, suggesting further bullishness.)
Value Score of less than or equal to B: Our research shows that stocks with a Style Score of A or B when combined with a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 (Hold) offer the best upside potential.&nbsp;
Here are three stocks that qualified the screening:
Eldorado Gold: The company, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the mining, exploration, development and sale of mineral products primarily in Turkey, Canada, Greece and Romania. By the end of 2024, the company expects to have completed theIntegrated Extractive Waste Management Facility (IEWMF) coffer dam and significantly advanced the IEWMF earthworks, water management facilities, process plant and filter plant.
Eldorado Gold has a long-term expected growth rate of 50.8%. EGO currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of A.
Sasol: The company operates as an integrated chemical and energy company in South Africa. Sasol uses selected technologies to safely and sustainably source, produce and market chemical and energy products competitively to create superior value for its customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.
Sasol currently holds a Zacks Rank #1 and has a Value Score of A. SSL also has an impressive five-year expected growth rate of 10.4%.
DaVita: Denver, CO-headquartered DaVita is a leading provider of dialysis services in the United States to patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The company operates kidney dialysis centers and provides related medical services, primarily in dialysis centers and in contracted hospitals across the United States. Its services include outpatient dialysis services, hospital inpatient dialysis services and ancillary services such as ESRD laboratory services and disease management services.
Apart from a discounted PEG and P/E, DaVita currently has a Zacks Rank #2 and a Value Score of A. DVA has a long-term historical growth rate of 15.5%.

Analyst Ratings

3 PEG-Based Value Picks to Boost Your Portfolio Returns

Investors might want to bet on Sasol (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssl#NYSE">SSL</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Sasol is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Sasol imply an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Sasol
This energy company is expected to earn $2.55 per share for the fiscal year ending June 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of -10.5%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Sasol. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 6.7%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of Sasol to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.
