Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc: Short delay to the publication of financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024
ST HELIER, Jersey, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia" or "the Company") (NYSE:CMCL, AIM: CMCL, VFEX: CMCL)) announces that in the course of finalising Caledonia's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the auditors have raised a query regarding the accounting treatment of deferred tax dating back to 2019. The Company is working diligently with its auditors to assess and evaluate the implications of this query. In any event, the outcome of the query will have no impact on the Company's cash position.
Consequently, the publication of Caledonia's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 will be delayed until this matter is resolved, but they are expected to be published no later than March 31, 2025.
As the accounting issue in question is non-cash in nature, the Board expects the underlying performance of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be in line with previous guidance and market expectations.
Chester Goodburn will remain in his role as CFO for an additional week and step down on March 31, 2025, following the publication of Caledonia's financial results for the year to December 31, 2024.
Revised Conference Call Date:
Due to the delay in publication of the Company's audited financial results, the presentation for analysts and investors will be held on March 31, 2025 at 2:00pm London time, followed by an opportunity to ask questions.
A presentation of the results and outlook for Caledonia will be available on Caledonia's website (www.caledoniamining.com).
