Hi HTC,
Kalan is correct - the revenue and earnings are only recognized in the month of delivery - this is from the annual report which is on the website now :
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For PGM concentrate sales, revenue is initially recognised at end of the delivery month and measured at the fair value of
the consideration receivable. The fair value of the consideration is subsequently adjusted based on movements in the metal
market price up to the date of final pricing, typically four months after the delivery month.
Chrome concentrate
For chromite concentrate sales, revenue is initially recognised on delivery and measured at the fair value of the consideration
receivable. On the date of delivery the transaction price is determined based on provisional variables. Adjustments to the
transaction price may be required due to movements in market prices, content quantities and penalties, which represent
variable transaction price components, up to the date of final pricing. Final pricing is based on the monthly average market
price in the month of settlement.
The fair value of the consideration is subsequently adjusted for any changes to the final consideration receivable. Changes
to the fair value of the consideration receivable are recognised as an adjustment to revenue in profit and loss and trade
debtors in the statement of financial position.
