Sales

Total revenue YTD FY 2024 from rough diamond sales is US$235.6 million, compared to US$278.5 million in the first four tenders of FY 2023, excluding Koffiefontein. Year-on-year volume variances were affected by the deferral of certain FY 2023 sale parcels sold as part of Tender 1 of FY 2024.

Like-for-like prices

Like-for-like rough diamond prices improved by 4.0% on Tender 3 FY 2024, with higher prices achieved across all size categories, barring the 5 to 10.8ct size range where prices were largely flat compared to the previous tender. Average like-for-like prices were down 9.2% year-to-date compared to the equivalent four tenders of FY 2023.

 

Product mix

The balance of price movements is attributable to product mix, with both Williamson and Finsch benefiting from an improved product mix compared to the previous tender.

About Petra Diamonds Limited
