Like-for-like rough diamond prices increased by 7.7% on Tender 5 (announced on 3 May 2022) while full year like-for-like prices increased 41.5% compared to FY 2021, with the balance of price movement attributable to product mix. Strong demand, with resultant price increases, was evident across all size and quality categories.

During FY 2022, revenue from Exceptional Stones totalled US$89.0 million (US$75.2 million from Cullinan Mine and US$13.8 million from Williamson) compared to US$62.0 million Exceptional Stone revenue (all from Cullinan Mine) in the previous year.
