What this company does
Written from the business description in DRDGOLD Limited's annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 30 October 2025. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Growth
Revenue compounded at +13.5% a year over the five years to FY2024 — but profit grew faster: net income at +28.7%, earnings per share at +26.2%.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Profitability
Each ZAR of equity produced 28 cents of profit this year.
The 10-year record
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
