Sylvania Platinum (AIM: SLP)

Market capitalisation

Sylvania Platinum focuses on the re-treatment and recovery of platinum group metals (PGMs) including platinum, palladium and rhodium, mainly from tailings dumps and other surface sources, but also lesser amounts of run-of-mine underground ore from Samancor chrome mines in South Africa.

Demand for PGMs dropped in 2023 and remains under pressure due to increased recycling of PGMs, particularly in China. Demand continues to be muted in 2024, with inventories remaining high. In the longer term, we see significant headwinds for electric vehicles in most countries except China, and increased regulatory and emissions legislation pressure, driving increased PGM demand and positive price momentum. Production pressures in South Africa and Russia could provide a further underpin to prices.

Financials

Sylvania delivered a 12% increase in Q125 production compared to Q424 and, with an average platinum group metals (PGM) basket price only slightly down, delivered a 10% increase in revenue. The company is guiding for FY25 production of 73,000–76,000oz. Costs were well controlled with South African rand (ZAR) direct operating costs 3% higher and US dollar costs up 6.5%. Attractive unit cost efficiencies of 5% to 8% were delivered. With results largely in line with our expectations, our forecasts remain unchanged. Our valuation has increased by 3.3% to 109.3p/share, affected by a weaker sterling exchange rate versus the dollar.
