Anglo American plc

Okay, good morning everybody. I think it's just on the hour, so we'll start. And welcome to you all. It's been a pretty busy half, and I'm pleased to say through all of that we've delivered a very strong result. Despite prices falling for us by 10% for the basket of the commodities that we produce, the revised plans that we put in place have delivered an excellent performance, especially in our copper and iron ore businesses. This, alongside some very, very good cost control, delivering significant progress on our cost-out targets, has led to an EBITDA of $5 billion. That was down just 3% on half one of last year. John will unpack that a bit later, however, The focus is now absolutely unchanged and squarely on those three key strategic priorities that I laid out for you all back in February of this year, which is operational excellence, portfolio simplification, and growth. Building on the reset of many of our mine plans of last year, The first half of this year. And I'm going to start there and talk a little bit about how that translated into the half one financial performance before moving into portfolio restructure and growth. So the first priority, operational excellence, has to be in safety. Ensuring our colleagues go home safely every day is my number one priority. Over the last couple of years, we certainly have seen a step change in our injury rate performance. It's now delivering a 23% improvement since 2022 and our lowest ever first half performance for the group. But clearly, it's still not good enough. Far from it, in fact, because we still had two fatalities at Amanda Bolt in June of this year. We are absolutely focused on putting a stop to this. And the fire at Grosvenor, I think, is a very clear reminder for us all of the potential hazards in this industry and the importance of systems, people, processes, and culture. And I'm very pleased to say that these did actually all come together for us, and we were able to evacuate the whole of that mine without any injury at all. And so there were over 150 people underground at the time that we saw the incident or noted the incident. One of the priorities of our organizational redesign last year was to strengthen the leadership accountability across the group and free up our leaders to spend more of their time on site and focusing on operational delivery. Our leaders spending more time in the field is having, and by spending more time in the field, they get a chance to have more quality interactions with our workforce. And that has brought about an improved understanding of both the challenges of the operations, but also some of the opportunities in improving the way we deliver the work. These interactions have led to considerable improvements, I think, in housekeeping, in job conditions, in work execution methods, and certainly in improved training programs, all of which I can see is now contributing to a more engaged and a more productive workforce. I am confident that we are transforming both the organization and our operational capabilities to ultimately eliminate fatalities for good. Now, you've seen this slide before. It's a simplistic representation of our operating model, but it is the foundation of operational excellence. Excellence relies firstly for us on having a good plan. That plan, of course, needs to be stretching, but yet it must be realistic. Rigorous execution of that plan is then absolutely key, but just as important to the delivery of that plan are all the processes and the routines that not only correct any deviations to that plan in a safe and a timely manner, but also improve either the efficiency of the execution or indeed improve the plan itself. So that all sounds simple enough, but what does it mean in practice and what does it mean for us in the first half of this year? Well, we've seen what happens when plans are overly ambitious and not owned by the people who are required to deliver them. And we are correcting for that at the moment, and that was a function of the major reset that we did in December of last year, and now we're starting to see the benefits of it. Mine plans are about the most fundamental of all of the plans that we produce in this business. For several reasons, we've had to review and reset many of these over the last year or so. And having done most of that now, execution becomes the real focus. And here we are starting to see some of these positive results. And without trying to be comprehensive in the data that I've selected for this slide, the detail here does show the outcomes of some of this achievement. First of all, planned maintenance in the group is up 23% year on year. And our focus on conveyors, a very big part of the production machine that we've got, has meant that failures are down by 71%. And we can actually measure the fact that losses to production as a result of equipment failures is down 37% year on year. These are real numbers, and they are absolutely coming through in the operational performance. So this doesn't only result in stable and cost-effective production, but absolutely also in safer operations. So I don't think that our total recordable injury frequency rate, which is, as I said earlier, now the lowest in the group in the history of the group, is coincidental, is directly correlated to this. And finally, for this all to be sustainable, we have to continue to work on this culture of analyzing and improving both of our plans and the performance against our plans. And this is why our leaders are now spending much more of their time in the field. Better planned and more productive operations also tend to be safer operations. It is a journey, and I believe we now have good foundations, and we can see some of the outcomes related to that progress in terms of evolving our operating model. Now, while production is broadly flat compared to the first half of 23, we are importantly tracking in line with our plans, with operational momentum enabling a 2% step up in the second quarter on the first. As I mentioned earlier, copper and iron ore have performed particularly well. We had an excellent performance really in copper and we're tracking to our plans as we move through the current low-grade mining phases at both Los Bronces and Quebeco. As per the plan, the Los Bronces plant is going to be being put on care and maintenance at the end of this month. Coyhuasi performance benefited from an increase in throughput and as a whole the business has progressed extremely well on their cost-saving targets. In iron ore, Minas Rio has maintained strong operational performance with good momentum going on into the second half. The reconfiguration of Kumba, coupled with our focus on operational excellence there, is also beginning to deliver results with some great outcomes as far as cost reduction and productivity improvements are concerned. Performance at PGMs has been improving through the half, with the benefits of the revised mine plan at Makhala Quena now on track to come through in the second half of this year. And we've already seen some of the early stage improvements from the turnaround at Amunderbult, particularly in the second quarter of this year. We did benefit a bit there from selling down the inventory, which of course has also helped us focus on our streamlining of working capital across the whole of the group. Now with the Section 189 process or consultation processes behind us, the cost reductions associated with that are on track and will come through quite strongly in the second half of this year. I'm going to come back to De Beers on a separate slide in a moment. Steelmaking coal did see improved performance at Grosvenor particularly, but this momentum unfortunately ended for us in late June with the fire. Again, I'm going to come back and address Grosvenor in a couple of slides' time. Maromba and Aquila both continue through more challenging ground conditions, although these should improve as the long-wall move scheduled for Maromba happens in the second half of this year, and Aquila continues to move through their current mine plan over time. Finally, the nickel business executed very well on their plans and delivered a particularly strong first half cost performance as their input costs fell. So, coming back to De Beers. The rough diamond market did start to show at the beginning of this year a slight improvement. However, in quarter two, the trading conditions deteriorated quite materially again. The Chinese market has been very soft as luxury spending has weakened, and although the U.S. consumer demand is broadly stable, there is still caution from retailers when it comes to restocking. As the bifurcation of demand for lab-grown diamonds continues, and as India sees impressive growth rates, all signs point to a demand recovery in the medium term. But for now, it is important that we take further action. And that is why, as we highlighted in our Quarter 2 operational update last week, we aligned with our production partners to reduce output by a further 3 million carats in support of managing working capital. Now, as you know, we signed a framework agreement with the government of Botswana late last year to update the sales and marketing agreements and extend the relevant mining licenses. We are continuing to work through the underlying detail of that and make sure that we end up in the right way for the next generation. I personally recently met with President Massisi, and that reminded me absolutely of the strength of our relationship. And I welcome the support of his team in building out the various agreements over the recent months. Now on Grosvenor. So this is what we know at this time. As you can imagine, an event such as this is going to take quite a bit of time to investigate properly and understand the causes of properly. But on the 29th of June, it is clear that we had a localized ignition somewhere on the long wall face. And the operations and the protection equipment that we have installed picked all of this up, and thankfully, we were able to fully evacuate that mine, getting everybody in the mine to safety pretty quickly. Now, what followed that initial gas ignition was a coal fire. In the hours and the days, actually, that followed that, Dan and the team worked pretty tirelessly alongside an excellent Queensland Mine Rescue Services to contain and to work to extinguish that fire. And this involved setting up a number of exclusion zones around all the accesses to the mine, using an array of equipment to inject inert gases into the underground environment to quash the fire, and then also required us to temporarily seal the mine by closing down all of the shafts. And to do that, we had to use remote machinery, given that they were all in exclusion zones. So where are we now? Well, gas and temperature monitoring as well as drone monitoring would suggest that the fire has been extinguished. And we are now developing plans with the authorities to examine the workplace in order to understand both the cause and the extent of the damage. Now, having said that, it is unlikely that we are fully going to understand the extent of this damage for some time. We are committed to a full investigation alongside the relevant authorities and we had of course worked tirelessly with them alongside the regulators after the 2020 incident to ensure that we had operated that mine in a safer manner as was possible. Realistically, at this stage, it is unlikely that the long-war reinvestment will take place under Anglo-Americans' ownership, certainly considering the relatively high value and quality of that coal reserve. We do believe, though, it remains a viable asset, and in parallel to us understanding it, we are going to continue with the sales process and move ahead as we had originally planned. Now, the timing of the fire has added some complexity to that divestment process. But as I said, after some careful consideration, after good discussions with Dan and the team, and after a number of the potential buyers confirming their interests, including the acquisition of Grosvenor, we are going to move on. I know that these are some of the highest quality steelmaking coal assets in the industry and are clearly still very sought after. So I'll talk a bit more about the processes a bit later on, but I'm going to hand over now to John, who's going to take us through the numbers. I'll come back then and talk about the transformation and the growth. John?

Thank you, Duncan, and good morning, everyone. I'm pleased with the first half financial performance, which is reflective of the strong operational execution that Duncan has just described. Firstly, production is broadly flat, despite the negative impact of our conscious decision to curtail production at De Beers to manage working capital. Revenues are down 8% or $1.4 billion, largely reflecting a 10% reduction in the group's basket price, mainly driven by iron ore and PGMs. Although diamond volumes were also down, resulting in De Beers' revenue being 21% lower. Notwithstanding this revenue headwind, we maintained EBITDA at $5 billion. roughly in line with last year as our cost reduction initiatives started to positively impact results. This resulted in EBITDA margins improving by 200 basis points to 33%. The business has responded well to an increased focus on working capital and cash conversion. And while net debt increased slightly in the period, we saw a working capital inflow and maintained net debt to EBITDA at 1.1 times. This all allowed the board to recommend an interim dividend of 42 cents per share in line with our 40% payout policy. Moving on now to unpack that roughly flat EBITDA in a little bit more detail. You can clearly see here that those non-controllable factors of price, foreign exchange and inflation had a $0.7 billion negative impact on EBITDA, mainly driven by price. And looking at that price impact, you can see this was driven by iron ore and the impacts of provisional pricing as prices declined through the first half. But we also saw a further deterioration in PGMs and diamond markets, with the PGM basket price down 24% and the rough diamond index down 20%. The right-hand side of the chart then clearly shows that our cost reduction actions are taking effect. with a $0.7 billion benefit in volume and cost. Most of this is cost related, including the corporate cost savings now being at the full year, half a billion dollar run rate, as well as initial cost savings in copper, Chile and PGMs. Roughly half of the $0.4 billion benefit that you can see in PGMs was volume related, given the 9% increase in sales volumes. Overall, the $5 billion EBITDA performance reflects strong operational execution and cost management. And I'll now drill in on those costs in a little bit more detail. Total unit costs were 4% lower compared to last year, including the effects of inflation. This strong performance was largely driven by copper, which was down 15%, driven by a weaker Chilean peso, coupled with cost savings and higher production from Kiaveco. At steelmaking coal, higher production drove an improved unit cost performance, although we do now expect unit costs to go up in the second half, driving fuel year guidance to somewhere between $130 and $140 per tonne, given the fixed costs that we're carrying at Grosvenor. While unit costs are clearly important and reflect the operational level performance, as I said in February, they only represent half of our total cost base. We're driving focus and action on the total cost base and those non-unit costs that you can see here include volume and price-linked costs like shipping, royalties, third-party purchases and inventory movements, but also overhead costs. These other costs have reduced by $1.1 billion in the period. The main drivers of this being the impact of lower prices and volumes on the purchases of third-party product, primarily at PGMs and De Beers, as we continue to look to closely manage inventory, but also the benefit of the run rate of corporate cost savings now delivered. Staying on costs for now, as you will recall, we previously announced significant cost savings. with the $1 billion run rate to be delivered by the end of this year. That broke down into two components, both of which I'm pleased to say are on track. The first half a billion from last year's corporate streamlining has been delivered as you've just seen. The second half a billion comes from operational savings delivered from our focus on operational excellence. We've made good progress here with around 0.2 billion run rate delivered in the first half. Further savings will be realised from the Lost Bronces plant closure now scheduled for this month, as well as the significant workforce reductions previously announced in PGMs and Coomba. Consultations on these restructurings, as Duncan said, are complete, with employee numbers reduced by more than 4,000 and the associated cost benefits will materialise in the second half. The more recent third element of our cost programme is the 0.8 billion we expect to realise largely from delivering on our strategic transformation that we set out in July. That we set out in May, sorry. As you will recall, the 0.8 billion was subject to review by KPMG and we now have a dedicated team developing the plans to implement this. The new simplified Anglo-American focusing on just five key operating assets allows a complete reset of the organisation's design to ensure that we emerge as an efficient and agile mining company. While retaining, of course, what we see as our differentiated capabilities to grow the business, particularly in relation to what underpins our reputation as a responsible mining company. our sustainability, community and innovation expertise and our relationship networks. Finally, on EBITDA, it's worth standing back to look at the component parts. Firstly, in De Beers, the 0.3 billion first half EBITDA included a $127 million one-off fair value gain related to the iron ore royalty that we sold earlier this week. Looking ahead for De Beers, if current market conditions continue, we expect the second half to be weaker than the first, given the weighting of marketing costs. Importantly, copper and iron ore alone contributed $3.5 billion, or 70% of the total group EBITDA. As I mentioned in May, these businesses are structurally more profitable. This is clear in the first half performance, with EBITDA margins of 53% and 43% respectively, well ahead of the group average of 33%. This is another very positive indicator of the more financially resilient company that we will have from 2026. As you know, I'm keenly focused on bottom line earnings and disciplined cash flow. The underlying effective tax rate in the first half was 40.3%. As expected, that is higher than last year, reflecting profit and associated country tax rate mix. Higher copper prices led to a higher proportion of taxable profits in the relatively higher rate jurisdictions of Chile and Peru, while lower iron ore prices were the main driver of a lower contribution from the lower tax jurisdiction of South Africa. Guidance for 2024 remains at 40 to 42%. This is higher than I would ideally like, and we continue to optimise our corporate and financing costs to drive better geographic alignment with our earnings to ensure that our tax rate is at the appropriate level. Moving on to special items reported outside of underlying earnings. As mentioned in our production report, we have reviewed the carrying value of Woodsmith in light of the slowdown in development to focus on balance sheet deleveraging. As a result, we've taken a $1.6 billion impairment to take the carrying value to $0.9 billion. This is largely due to the time value impact of delay, with first production assumed to be three years later now, in 2030. with no change to our conviction in the project or indeed the underlying commercial assumptions. At Grosvenor, which is a book value of $1.3 billion, we will monitor the carrying value closely through the second half as we understand more about the impact of the fire on assets and overall planning for Moreham by Grosvenor, as well as the sales process. And finally, 0.3 billion of costs have been recorded relating to the previously announced organisational redesign and subsequent strategic changes. Turning now to capital expenditure and cash. CapEx of $2.9 billion breaks down as $0.7 billion of growth and $2.2 billion sustaining spend. This includes half a billion of growth spend at Woodsmith and a slightly higher near-term sustaining spend driven by projects including the tailings filtration plant at Minnes Rio and the desalination plant at Colawassee. Full year guidance remains at around $5.7 billion. This slide summarises the conversion of the $5 billion of EBITDA to cash. and I was delighted to see cash conversion increased to 86% in the period, supported by a $0.6 billion inflow of working capital. This was mainly driven by receivables with lower iron ore prices as well as the benefit of faster collections. Inventories remain higher than we would like at $7.2 billion, largely due to diamonds. You've seen from our actions earlier in the year to reduce production that we're taking all steps to manage the diamond inventory and manage to hold stocks flat at around $2 billion in the first half against weak demand. This remains a significant focus. And as Duncan mentioned, we've now taken further decisive action to cut production at the beers to prevent the risk of an inventory build this year. From the resulting cash flow from operations of $5.2 billion, we funded tax, interest, distribution to non-controlling interest and sustaining capex. That came together to deliver sustaining attributable free cash flow or cash flow before growth capex and dividends of $1.2 billion. Net debt increased from December by half a billion to $11.1 billion, driven by growth capex and the final dividend payment from last year. While we have an abundance of liquidity at almost $16 billion and our balance sheet remains robust with net debt to EBITDA at 1.1 times, well within our bottom of the cycle target of 1.5, we are focused on reducing net debt in absolute terms. Clearly, the proceeds from our announced divestments plan will help, but we are focused on all the operational levers that we have available to us within both costs and capex. So in summary, we delivered a strong first half and the benefits from our focus on costs and cash are visible in our results. Our focus on operational excellence is translating into better financial outcomes. Costs are coming down and cash conversion is improving but of course there is more to do and we remain focused on and absolutely committed to continued operational excellence, as well as our transformation and cost reduction plans. Thank you, and I now hand you back to Duncan.

Thanks, John. I thought that was very clear. And even though we're having quite a tough time in terms of these commodity markets from a volatility point of view, I think it's really pleasing to see such a more resilient financial position emerging from the business and one that I think we can look forward to building out on. So as John has just outlined, we really are making good progress, but as he said, there's still plenty for us to do, and especially around the demergers and the divestments. Let me take a moment before I talk about those just to step back and remind you what we are working to achieve here and why we are actually so excited about what this company is going to be once it has fully transitioned. Anglo is a fantastic company, and it has incredible people and incredible assets and resources. But it was certainly becoming increasingly clear to me, and especially towards the end of last year, that there were some deep, deep structural issues that we needed to address. For some time, we had traded at a discount to our peers. And there are many, many reasons for that, I guess. But two of the key ones that I was able to isolate was one that we were too complicated. And we just have an idiosyncratic business mix where the true underlying value of each of these assets just doesn't shine through. In addition, whenever we go through a down cycle, be that the 2008 downturn, whether it's the 2015 downturn that affected all the commodities, or even now, the diamond and the PGM down cycle of 2023, we just see so much of an impact of those sorts of down cycles on the business. It's always more pronounced than the rest of the sector. So there's just too much operational leverage in the business and that ultimately then leads to too much financial leverage. So we needed to change it. And to do so required a set of bold initiatives. And that's exactly what we are doing right now. And we're doing it as fast as we reasonably can. The new Anglo is going to be a business that is much simpler than the one that we have today. It's going to be 100% focused on future enabling products while retaining enough scale and geographic diversification. We will be a substantially more resilient financial position with considerable growth optionality embedded within the portfolio. We have an industry-leading copper business, and that has a pathway to increase its production by 30% just through organic expansion. We will have a premium iron ore business, which through the cycle should be a fantastic cash generator with a material production uplift potential from our Serpentina deposit. And we will also have a very compelling option on food security, which we believe to be one of the best megatrends that we can see in the markets today with our WoodSmith project. Now, as a result, we believe that this business will be valued much more positively by the market, and this creates a platform for us from which to build. We are implementing a clear and a comprehensive set of plans to transform the business over the next 18 months. And I know that when we get to the other side, this journey will absolutely have been worth the effort. Now, on this slide, we can see what this business is going to look like in the future and the type of business that we're unlocking. The New Anglo has an incredibly powerful investment case. One that is far more focused with high quality set of portfolio assets which means growth optionality that we already own can be even more transformative and this provides a clearer read through from a value perspective and we believe that that maximizes value for shareholders. Our operational excellence work so far is the start of a step change in efficiency and performance. And with the assets housed in a much simpler structure going forward, we can deliver material cost savings and transform our EBITDA margin. Now, on a pro forma basis for the retained business in 2023, this would have been a 15 percentage point benefit, taking us all the way to 46% in that margin. Now, that's also going to drive a transformation of our relative cost position. The 31 percent margin performance of last year was reflective of both our fourth quartile cash cost and sustaining capex position. That is a position that we will just structurally change as we deliver on our portfolio transformation, which then shifts us into the second quartile at the end of that journey and post that with the first quartile upside potential once we deliver Woodsmith in the early 30s. We are confident that we are reshaping this company to be a more financially resilient one, driving improved through the cycle performance that will maximize value recognition by the market. Now, the one point that I would like to make particularly clear is that sustainability and operating the right way is fully embedded into our strategy from day-to-day operational decisions all the way through to the portfolio choices that we make. We believe that it has to be a prerequisite for sustainable value creation and it is fundamentally integral to the DNA of this company. None of that is going to change. We are committed to genuine alignment between sustainability and profitable outcomes. Our sustainability and our technical capabilities underpin performance at existing operational assets while being the critical enabler of our ability to deliver innovative solutions which realize our growth ambitions. Now, many of the world's undeveloped resources today are sterilized due to environmental and community challenges. I believe that we have demonstrated, through our sustainability approach, an ability to unlock value at the likes of Civeco and Los Bronces. And looking ahead, I believe that we are doing exactly the same at Woodsmith and Sakati. We will use technology, of course, to further enhance these outcomes, but with a focus on driving economic returns for our shareholders and to generate positive benefits for all of our stakeholders. We are committed to operating this company responsibly and focus on sustainability. Now, I'm going to spend quite a bit of time on this slide, but it's about the divestment processes. And I guess running any divestment process is generally demanding. Running four at one time is very challenging. But the plan is to get to the streamlined organization in the time that we said that we were going to do it. We want to make absolutely sure that we deliver each of these processes on the best possible terms. At the same time, we want to make sure that there are no compromises in operating performance during this transformation phase. Now, there's been an enormous amount of effort in setting ourselves up for this and getting underway. We now have dedicated internal and advisory teams in place to run each of the transactions and all of those teams are now up and running all around the relevant legal, technical, accounting and commercial work streams. And as we'll come on to, some are already now underway in engaging with buyers. Alongside that, we have a team focused on the organization design work to make sure that we are ready to execute as soon as each of these processes is complete without any concerns to business continuity or on delivering our efficiency targets. We then have a very tight team at the center of all of this to make sure that we manage all the critical interdependencies across all of these processes. Now, I know that you're going to have plenty of questions around this, so let me give you a little bit more clarity on each of these processes. But at this stage, and particularly given the various variables that we just don't control, it is difficult for me to say more than what I'm about to tell you. I will say that overall, with the level of extra planning that's gone into this, I am confident in achieving this objective of being sustainably done with this transformation by the end of 2025. In terms of the underlying processes, I'll start with steelmaking coal. Now, as I've already said, we are going to continue to manage the situation at Grosvenor very carefully and very responsibly. Now, when an incident like this happens, we did immediately pause aspects of the sale process, and the reason that we did that is we wanted to be sure that Dan and the team had all the bandwidth that they needed to be able to effectively manage their response to that incident. The paramount focus for us, of course, is going to continue to be to support that team and ensure that they are able to act safely and responsibly during the sales process. But now that the situation there has stabilized somewhat, we are moving at full speed with the sale process. Now, there has been very strong interest expressed for some time now in this coal business, and this interest has all been reiterated over the last few weeks. So we're pressing on. and working to bring a conclusion to this process, ideally within the next six months. At Nikkel, our intervention to limiting price pressure on cash flow has already delivered some results, and in the first half of this year, we really do believe that we are now well positioned to progress actually with our preferred option of a sale, and we are moving on with that. At Anglo Platinum, we are well on track here for a 2025 execution. The teams are working together and we are to be able to deliver the separation as effectively and as efficiently as possible. Now, whilst our prior experiences at the likes of Mondi and Tungela was for the demerger process to take more than 18 months, we are well set here to move more quickly, given that AngloPlax already has listed company processes, systems, and governance structures in place. That significantly accelerates this particular process, although it is important to flag that there are some complex separation pieces of work that will need to be done as many of the functions are very closely integrated with a greater Anglo group. Now, we want to make absolutely sure that this gets done in the right way and set this business up to deliver its tremendous potential too. Now, success involves getting the separation right, but it also involves making sure that we think about taking the right actions in terms of managing flow back proactively. We are therefore looking at the potential of a listing of this business on the London Stock Exchange alongside its primary listing, which will remain on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. So all of these processes are now underway. De Beers is likely to be the last in the sequence here, as I've said before. We have the transaction team assembled, and the management is continuing to deliver on its origin strategy while responding to the current market environment. The diamond industry has been through many, many twists and turns over time, and we have full confidence in De Beers that De Beers itself is best positioned in this industry to be able to navigate these twists and turns. They have world-class assets. They are very integrated and have a great position across the value chain. And of course, they have the iconic De Beers brand. And with that tremendous potential, we believe that they'll see through this downturn. We are therefore very focused on setting the business up for the future and will exit for value, but most likely later in 2025. In parallel to all of these processes, we are designing the organization which will support the separation and then also ultimately simplify the structure for the new Anglo-American. Agility and accountability are key here. We expect to work through this transition pathway to implementation of our future organization as these divestments and mergers complete. Now, while our immediate focus is on operational excellence and delivering on portfolio transformation, we, of course, must not forget about the compelling growth story that we have in the new business. On the other side of this journey, the value of the organic optionality, as I said earlier, should be fully recognized by the market. Now, looking first at the copper business, we have three of the world's leading copper mines in Queveco, Los Bronces, and Coyahuasi. Now, as you can see on the slide, we've outlined a very clear pathway to exploit the outstanding geological potential of all of these assets together with our Greenfield-Sakati project. All of this targets a million tons per annum of copper production with further expansion upside potential as well as other growth opportunities that we would aim to secure over time. We continue to progress these growth options with our sustainability-focused approach, and once these projects are ready to be progressed, the high return potential for these brownfields expansions will see our growth capital allocated here. One point worth noting. At Civeco, you may now be aware that a recent amendment in the legislation in Peru has increased the grace threshold for miners' daily throughput rates from 5% to 10%. So what that really means is that under current licenses, we should be able to take our mine production up to 140,000 tons a day from 127.5. And that means or an additional 10,000 tons per annum of copper. So we've started some study work now to see if we can accelerate that within the current licenses and hopefully get some benefit of that perhaps as early as 2026 before we take that next incremental step, which ideally would be up to 150,000 tons a day for us from 2027 onwards. So that's a bit of good news. Turning to iron ore. The new Anglo-American portfolio has an outstanding premium iron ore business. Minus Rio produces some of the highest quality DRI in the industry, while Kumba products, particularly its lump, enable more carbon efficient transitional steelmaking processes. Now, as the global steel industry decarbonizes, we do expect to see even more significant premiums emerging for these types of products. We have an opportunity to further enhance this portfolio through the potential future development of Serpentina. And I believe that the scale and the quality of that ore body is even more exciting than we first thought about when we looked at it. But it will absolutely enable about the doubling of high quality DRI production at Woodsmith. The project here, I continue to believe, is a potential game changer for us. The scale and quality of that ore body, coupled with the premiums that we expect to achieve for that product, could deliver very, very strong cash flows for this company for many decades. However, right now, we just simply need to focus on the nearer term priorities, including the deleveraging of our balance sheet. The announced slowdown is well progressed with shaft sinking paused on the production shaft and continuing on the service shaft in order to get us through these key Sherwood sandstone strata so that in the second half of this year we can give us enough data to provide the information that helps us put a feasibility study together. The tunnel boring machine is currently undergoing planned maintenance, and during the stop, we're going to connect the Ladycross shaft, which is one of the ventilation shafts, to the tunnel, after which we'll start it up again, and tunneling will continue, but at a much, much slower rate than what it was prior to the shutdown. So during the slowdown period, the existing study and engineering program will continue to focus on the support that the syndication due diligence is going to require and will help us to continue to optimize the business case. The revised development plan will continue to support FID at the appropriate time once the group's balance sheet is suitably deleveraged and the syndication pathway is clear. I continue to believe that this project will represent a cornerstone of the portfolio in the future. By now, I hope you are familiar with this slide, but to summarize, we are absolutely focused on delivering these three key strategic priorities. Operational excellence is, as you heard us talk about earlier today and you've seen in the results, delivering some results for us, and we are maintaining tight discipline to optimize capital allocation and free cash flow generation. We are structurally improving the operational leverage of this business to maximize the value of each and every asset regardless of whether they remain in our ownership or not. In parallel, we are working at pace to transform this portfolio and execute on our divestment program with the expectation of being largely done by the end of next year. I am confident that we will deliver a portfolio whereby the value of our assets and their growth potential can be fully recognized by the market. So in conclusion, we are genuinely excited by these plans that we unveiled in May. I'm very keen to get on and get them done. We are reshaping this business into the next generation mining company with considerable strategic flexibility. Change as transformative as this will inevitably have its challenges. But we do have the teams in place, and we do have the commitment and our eyes firmly on the prize at the end of it all. Thank you. Happy to take your questions. Yeah, so are you first.
