Gustavo Campos's questions to SASOL (SSL) leadership • H2 2025
Question
Gustavo Campos asked for details on the debt reduction plan, including prioritization within the capital structure and the use of proceeds from a recent local bond issuance. He also inquired about the oil breakeven estimate after hedging and what percentage of Synfuels production is hedged for FY26 and FY27.
Answer
CFO Walt Bruns explained that deleveraging is the top priority, with excess cash being used to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). He confirmed a ZAR 5.3 billion bond was issued in July to diversify funding. The reported $59/bbl breakeven was pre-hedging. For FY26, approximately 60% of the Energy business's production is hedged, and the FY27 hedging program has just commenced.
