DRDGOLD held its fiscal 2026 year-end earnings call on Aug. 19, with Chief Executive Daniël Pretorius opening the session by remembering a longtime adviser.
Pretorius said the presentation marked the 19th time he had been part of the team delivering year-end results. He was joined by Chief Financial Officer Henriette Hooijer and Chief Operating Officer Wilhelm Schoeman, with several senior managers also in the room.
The opening minutes were given over to John Weber, an attorney at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr who served as a professional adviser to DRDGOLD for as long as Pretorius had been with the company. Weber died the week before the call after being seriously ill. Pretorius called him 'a very good friend and adviser of ours' and later described him as 'a dear friend and a valuable service provider.'
Pretorius then took attendees through the customary disclaimer, noting that some forward-looking statements in the presentation rely on assumptions outside the company's control. He asked shareholders to keep that in mind when interpreting those statements.
The call began at 4 a.m. EDT, and management stayed on after the formal presentation to take questions. DRDGOLD is tracked in AlphaScala's basic materials sector; its stock page shows no Alpha Score for now.
