SAFETY

Safety Recordable Case Rate (RCR), excluding illnesses,improved to 0,27, our lowest so far, regrettably four fatalities

Joint President and Chief Executive Officer, Bongani Nqwababa said:

Our resilient 2018 performance was underpinned by higher sales and production volumes, in the second half of the
year. This was enabled by our continued focus on factors within our control and higher global oil prices, resulting in
improved product prices and margins, notwithstanding continued exchange rate volatility. Overall, our operational
performance was satisfactory, however unplanned Eskom electricity supply interruptions and two internal outages
at Secunda Synfuels Operations, negatively impacted volumes. Enhancing our foundation businesses, a core aspect
of our value-based strategy, will be delivered through ensuring safe and sustainable operations, robust asset
management strategies, continuous improvement and digitalisation, underscored by disciplined capital allocation.

Joint President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Cornell said:

2019 will be a defining year for Sasol with the start-up of the LCCP, a catalyst for transforming our earnings profile(1).
Mozambique, our other key growth area, remains central to our gas strategy where we are stepping up efforts to
secure long-term gas feedstock, while delivering on our stakeholder commitments. Improving the flexibility of our
balance sheet, through increased cash flow and reduced gearing, and managing an optimal capital structure will be
a key focus ahead. We remain confident in delivering on our strategy, which will realise sustainable long-term value
for our stakeholders.

Financial results overview(2,4)

Sasol delivered a resilient set of results, underpinned by satisfactory sales and production volumes, delivering a flat
normalised real cash fixed cost base and benefitting from much higher crude oil and product margins in the second
half of the financial year. Our financial results were negatively impacted by several unplanned Eskom electricity
supply interruptions and two internal outages at our Secunda Synfuels (SSO) and Natref operations that resulted in
lower production volumes, as well as a 6% stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate compared to the prior period.

Our underlying cash flow performance was robust. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA(4)) increased by 10% when compared to the prior year. Core headline earnings(3) per share (CHEPS) however
decreased by 6% to R36,03 compared to the prior period and Headline Earnings Per Share decreased by 22% to
R27,44. The difference between core headline earnings and EBITDA in the current year is largely due to depreciation
of approximately R16 billion and employee share-based payment expenses of R1,5 billion due to the marked
improvement of the Sasol share price at the end of the financial year. The share-based payment relating to our
Khanyisa Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) transaction of R3 billion is excluded from core
headline earnings and EBITDA as it is considered to be a once-off and non-cash item.

Sasol's core headline earnings per share were impacted by the following notable once-off and period close items:

2018 2017
% change Rand per Rand per
2018 vs 2017 share share
Headline earnings per share (22) 27,44 35,15
Translation impact of closing exchange rate (106) (0,09) 1,39
Mark-to-market valuation of hedges 3,81 (0,42)
Implementation of Khanyisa B-BBEE transaction 4,82 -
LCCP ramp-up depreciation 0,05 -
Once-off Uzbekistan license fee - (0,59)
Strike action at Mining and related costs - 1,45
Provision for tax litigation matters - 1,49
Core headline earnings per share(3) (6) 36,03 38,47

Earnings attributable to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2018 decreased by 57% to R8,7 billion from
R20,4 billion in the prior year. This resulted in earnings per share (EPS) decreasing by 57% to R14,26 compared to
the prior year. The stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate and the negative impact of remeasurement
items, largely driven by the stronger longer-term rand exchange rate, resulted in a much lower profit and earnings
per share for the year.

The closing exchange rate however weakened by 5% which negatively impacted gearing and the valuation of our
derivatives and foreign debtors and loans. Our hedging programme for the 2018 and 2019 financial years is
complete and positions Sasol well to steer through these periods of volatility. The average Brent crude oil price
moved 28% higher compared to the prior year, and, since December 2017, spot prices have moved closer to the
US$75/bbl mark which positively impacted our results. The rand per barrel oil price increased by approximately
20% to R818 per barrel compared to 2017, (refer to table below), and has subsequently increased by approximately
15% - 25% since the end of June 2018. The spot rand per barrel oil price is now ranging between R950 and R1 050
per barrel.

The movement in macroeconomic factors can be summarised as follows:

% change 2018 2017
Rand/US dollar average exchange rate (6) 12,85 13,61
Rand/US dollar closing exchange rate 5 13,73 13,06
Average dated Brent crude oil price (US dollar/barrel) 28 63,62 49,77
Refining margins (US dollar/barrel) (8) 9,32 10,09
Average Henry Hub gas price (US dollar/million British thermal unit) (2) 2,95 3,00

(2) All comparisons to the prior period refer to the year ended 30 June 2017. All numbers are quoted on a pre-tax basis, except for
earnings attributable to shareholders and the Response Plan cash conservation measures.
(3) Core headline earnings are calculated by adjusting headline earnings with once-off items, period close adjustments and depreciation
and amortisation of significant capital projects, exceeding R4 billion which have reached beneficial operation and are still ramping up
and share-based payments on implementation of B-BBEE transactions. Period close adjustments in relation to the valuation of our
derivatives at period end is to remove volatility from earnings as these instruments are valued using forward curves and other
market factors at the reporting date and could vary from period to period. We believe core headline earnings are a useful measure of
the group's sustainable operating performance. However, this is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be comparable with
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Core headline earnings constitutes pro-forma financial information in terms
of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and should be read in conjunction with the basis of preparation set out on page 19.
(4) EBITDA is calculated by adjusting earnings before interest and taxation for depreciation, amortisation, remeasurement items, share-
based payments and unrealised gains and losses on our hedging activities. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of the group's
underlying cash flow performance. However, this is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be comparable with similarly titled
measures reported by other companies.

Operational and cost performance

Sasol experienced some challenges with regards to our operational performance during the year, largely due to
planned and unplanned production interruptions at SSO, Natref and Mining which impacted production and sales
volumes across the value chain. Despite these interruptions, we delivered a stronger overall operational
performance in the second half of the year. Our production run-rates during the fourth quarter of financial year
2018, on an annual average basis, supports our internal targeted run-rates.

Sales volumes increased by 1% for our Performance Chemicals business spurred by robust market demand despite
Eskom electricity supply interruptions. Base Chemicals reported a 1% decrease in sales volumes mainly due to
production interruptions at SSO and a stock build for our high density polyethylene joint venture in the US.
Excluding the impact of Eskom electricity supply interruptions, sales volumes increased by 1%. Liquid fuels sales
volumes were down 2% due to lower volumes from SSO and Natref and a challenging South African retail liquid
fuels market.

The highlights of our business performance are summarised below:

- In the first half of the year, our mining operations were focused on ramping up production volumes post the
labour strike in the prior year. However, in the period December 2017 to February 2018 we experienced three
tragic work-related fatalities which significantly slowed us in ramping up our operational performance and
resulted in lower than expected production volumes.

We are committed to ensuring that our mining operations remain safe and have implemented a number of
initiatives to restore our safety performance. Our Business Improvement Programme (BIP), aimed at increasing
productivity and achieving cost efficiency was refocused post the stabilisation of our safety performance in
March 2018 and to date we have seen some positive results. Our production run rate over the past quarter has
improved by more than 20% compared to the previous quarter and is representative of a run rate to achieve
40 million tons per year and match pre strike production rates.

- Production volumes from SSO decreased by 3% to 7,6 million tons mainly as a result of unplanned Eskom supply
interruptions (1%) and internal outages (2%) during the year. Notwithstanding, we continued to improve
operational processes and plant efficiencies to realise better production yields. Our production run rates
achieved during May and June 2018, supports full year production of approximately 7,8 million tons.

- Our Eurasian Operations continued to improve on their operational performance and delivered a 3% increase in
production volumes. This was largely due to stronger product demand and increased plant availability.

- ORYX GTL delivered a strong production performance, with an average utilisation rate of 95% exceeding our
market guidance of 92%.

- Natref's production volumes were 9% lower due to planned shutdowns and an unexpected electricity supply
interruption at the start of the financial period. The second half of the year however yielded much improved
production rates despite a planned shutdown in quarter four. The increased volumes in the second half of 2018
partially offsets the lower production volumes recorded in the first half of the year. The production run rate for
quarter four was 600m�/h resulting in a full year run rate of 536m�/h. This compares to a run rate of 592m�/h in 2017.

A detailed production summary and key business performance metrics for the financial year for all our businesses is
available on our website, <a href="http://www.sasol.com&quot; target="_blank">www.sasol.com</a&gt;.

Turning to our cost performance, cash fixed costs were up 2% in real terms in the first half of the year mainly as a
result of above-mentioned planned and unplanned production interruptions. In the second half of the year, we
increased our focus on improving our cost efficiency and managed to keep our normalised cash fixed costs
(excluding growth and once-off items) for the year flat in real terms. We are of the view that our cost management
processes remain robust to protect and improve our cost competitive position and still positions us in managing
our cost base to within our inflation target, while ensuring that we maintain safe and sustainable operations.
Whilst we have reduced our cost base significantly through our Business Performance Enhancement Programme
(BPEP) and Response Plan (RP), we are continuing to evaluate further opportunities to reduce cost through our
Continuous Improvement (CI) programme. The inflation rate for South Africa remains volatile and has moved from
6,5% over the past two years to 4,7% at 30 June 2018. Against this backdrop, we are targeting an inflation rate of
6% as a more sustainable increase for our cost base. We are well positioned to continue with this improved
operational and cost performance into the 2019 financial year.

Cash and capital performance

Cash generated by operating activities decreased slightly to R42,9 billion compared with R44,1 billion in the prior
year. This is largely attributable to a R3,8 billion increase in working capital. Our trade receivables increased by
R2,8 billion due to higher chemical sales prices and higher volumes in June 2018 which translated into cash in July
2018. In addition, due to the last day of the financial year being on a weekend, R1 billion was received from debtors
in the first three business days of July 2018. Inventory increased by R3,4 billion mainly as a result of higher
feedstock costs as a result of the increase in crude oil prices compared to the previous financial year. Inventory
holding in days were slightly higher compared to the previous financial year.

Actual capital expenditure, including accruals, amounted to R53,4 billion. This includes R30,1 billion (US$2,3 billion)
relating to the LCCP. The capital spending rate is aligned to our internal targets and with previous market guidance provided.

Our net cash position decreased by 42%, from R29,3 billion in the prior period to R17 billion as at 30 June 2018 due
to the funding of the LCCP and investments to fund growth projects. Loans raised during the year amounted to
R25 billion, mainly for the funding of our US growth project. Short-term debt increases relates to the Sasol Inzalo Public
transaction unwinding in September 2018. During the year, we increased our existing US$1,5 billion Revolving Credit
Facility to US$3,9 billion and extended the maturity to five years, with the inclusion of two further extension
options of one year each. In addition, our Domestic Medium Term Note Programme of R8 billion provides us with
access to the South African debt capital markets. The focus on our funding plan will now shift to ensuring that
longer-term debt instruments are put in place.

Due to the funding of the LCCP, more than 80% of our debt is now US dollar denominated. Given the significantly
weaker closing exchange rate of R13,73 and the related translation loss of R4,8 billion arising on the valuation of the
balance sheet at year end, gearing increased to 43,2%, which is slightly below our internal ceiling and market
guidance. Included in net debt is R6,1 billion of new finance leases mainly relating to Oxygen Train 17 in Secunda and
rail storage facilities at the LCCP.

We are actively reviewing our capital structure and funding plan to ensure that we maintain an optimum solvency
and liquidity profile. The unwinding of the Sasol Inzalo transaction has been structured to ensure that our credit ratings
are maintained at investment grade and with the least amount of dilution to our shareholders. The Sasol Limited
Board (the Board) approved that Sasol repurchase the shares from Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) and settle the outstanding
debt of R7,4 billion and a cash top-up for value realised of approximately R600 million in September 2018, assuming a share
price of R500. This step will eliminate any Sasol shareholder dilution as a result of the unwind of the Sasol Inzalo B-BBEE
structure.

We therefore expect our gearing to remain around peak levels of 40% - 44% in 2019 due to higher debt associated
with the Inzalo unwind. Accordingly, the Board approved that we manage the balance sheet to below our peak
internal gearing ceiling of 44% for the 2019 financial year.

In January 2018, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Sasol's credit rating at a BBB-/A-3 with a stable outlook. This is two
notches above the South African sovereign credit rating and is at investment grade. Similarly Moody's Investors
Service (Moody's) confirmed South Africa's sovereign rating at Baa3 changing the rating from negative to stable in
March 2018, while affirming Sasol's global scale long-term issuer rating at Baa3, adjusting the outlook from
negative to stable. Sasol's national scale long-term rating was affirmed at Aaa.za. Moody's has delinked Sasol from
the South African sovereign rating by one notch.

Our dividend policy is to pay dividends with a dividend cover range based on CHEPS. Taking into account the impact
of the current volatile macroeconomic environment, capital investment plans, the current gearing range of 43,2%,
and the dividend cover range, the Board has declared a gross final dividend of R7,90 per ordinary share and Sasol
BEE ordinary share (1,3% higher compared to the prior year). The dividend cover was 2,8 times at 30 June 2018
(30 June 2017: 2,8 times).

Update on hedging activities

As part of our enterprise risk management framework, we entered into a number of hedges to mitigate specific
financial market risks and provide protection of our balance sheet and operating cash flows against unforeseen
movements in oil prices, interest rates, currency movements, commodity and final product prices. A summary of
our group hedges are presented below:

Settled Open
contracts contracts
2018 2019
Brent oil - put options
Number of barrels hedged mm bbl 50,25 48,00
Average Brent crude oil price floor, net of costs US$/bbl 47,82 53,36
Premiums paid US$ m 125,00 131,00
Rand/US dollar currency - zero-cost collar instruments
US$ exposure hedged US$bn 4,00 4,00
Annual average floor R/US$ 13,46 13,14
Annual average cap R/US$ 15,51 15,14
Export coal - swaps
Number of tons hedged mm tons 2,80 1,40
Average coal swap price US$/ton 76,11 81,82
Ethane gas - Swaps
Number of barrels hedged mm bbl 2,30 3,50
Average ethane gas swap price US$ c/gal 27,54 27,30

Our hedging strategy has held us in good stead as we have managed to secure a floor of US$48/bbl for 2018 and
US$53/bbl for 2019 which protects our balance sheet against crude oil price volatility. On the exchange rate, we
have realised gains of R2,8 billion (cash flow) in 2018 which protected earnings and the balance sheet given the
average exchange rate of R12,85/US$1.

The current volatility in the crude oil price and exchange rate impacted the valuation of the open hedges at the end
of 2018. The unrealised losses include:

- R0,3 billion loss on the rand/US dollar zero-cost collars;
- R1,2 billion loss on Brent crude oil put options. The open instruments were valued against an average strike of
US$56/bbl; and
- R0,4 billion loss on export coal swaps.

These losses are highly dependent on market factors and could change in 2019 depending on the actual oil price
realised and exchange rate performance. We have completed our hedging programme for 2019 and are considering
our hedging strategy for 2020 given the current oil price outlook and exchange rate volatility.

Continuous improvement and digitalisation

Our low oil price RP achieved cumulative cash savings of R85,3 billion since January 2015, exceeding our target
range of R65-75 billion. The RP has delivered sustainable annual cash fixed cost savings of R3,5 billion which is in
addition to the R5,4 billion sustainable cost savings from our BPEP. This brings our cumulative sustainable cost
savings to R8,9 billion. We have now formally closed the RP at the end of June 2018. This proactive initiative
enabled us to manage the balance sheet through periods of oil price volatility, while maintaining our investment
grade and ability to fund our growth projects.

To ensure that we remain relevant and competitive and to reap the benefits of a higher oil price, we have
introduced a CI programme. CI, building on the solid foundation established by the BPEP and the RP, is aimed at
ensuring our continued competitiveness at an oil price of $40/bbl, while enhancing our offering to markets across
all the industries in which we compete. Our medium-term target is to increase our Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
for our foundation businesses by at least two percentage points by 2022 to 19%. This is off a 2017 actual base,
normalised for remeasurements and once-off items and excluding assets under construction. To date, we have
identified value enhancing opportunities to the value of 50% of the target, which positions us well towards
achieving our 2022 medium-term target.

Value adding digitalisation improvements, process simplification, selective core function repositioning and asset
performance reviews, are considered across all our businesses globally as key enablers to achieving our CI targets.

Our digitalisation objectives are centered around improving asset health management (predictive maintenance),
increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of operations (yield, energy, throughput, plan and schedule
achievement), advancing customer engagement, and extracting value from business process automation. Through
the effective use of data and digital technologies, we are positioning digitalisation to significantly contribute to our
continuous improvement target of a 2% ROIC uplift by 2022. We are making steady progress with our focused
asset review process. Several non-strategic assets have been identified for possible disposal or reduced
shareholding. During the past financial year we successfully disposed of our shareholding in our Base Chemical joint
ventures in Malaysia and several smaller investments. The disposal process for our Canadian shale assets has
commenced. Market updates will be made as sufficient progress is made without negatively impacting the disposal process.

Effective tax rate

Our effective corporate tax rate increased from 28,3% to 35,4% largely as a result of impairments relating to our
shale gas assets in Canada (R2,8 billion) and the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) in Mozambique (R1,1 billion)
as well as the share-based payment expense (R3 billion) with the implementation of Sasol Khanyisa. The adjusted
effective tax rate, excluding equity accounted investments, remeasurements and once-off items, is 27,3%
compared to 26,5% in the prior year.

Satisfactory operational performance, higher oil and product prices(1,3)

Operating Business Units

Mining - improving productivity, benefitting from higher global coal prices

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) increased by 41% to R5,2 billion compared to the prior period, mainly as a
result of the strike action in 2017. Earnings, excluding the strike cost and remeasurement items, increased by 4%
due to higher selling prices to SSO, an increase in export coal sales volumes and a 16% increase in export coal prices,
partially offset by additional external coal purchases of R865 million to restore the stockpile to two million tons. At
30 June 2018, our coal stockpiles were fully restored through own production and additional external coal
purchases. Based on our improved production run rate in the last quarter, we expect our external purchases from
Anglo Coal's Isibonelo Colliery to return to our targeted level of five million tons per year. External coal purchased to
supplement production ceased during July 2018.

Normalised unit cost of production increased by 5% to R284/ton compared to the prior year as a result of
productivity rates not reaching our planned internal targets. This is in line with previous market guidance.

Sasol Mining concluded a three-year wage agreement with all five of our participating trade unions in August 2017.

Exploration and Production International (E&PI) - strong operational delivery from Mozambique and
Gabon, partial impairment of PSA

EBIT adjusted for remeasurement items and the closing rate translation effect (normalised earnings*) amounted to
R270 million for the period.

Our Mozambican producing operations recorded an EBIT of R2 billion largely due to higher sales prices which was
partly negated by lower demand in the Mozambican gas market. The valuation of the PSA was impacted by weaker
long-term macroeconomic assumptions and lower than expected oil volumes. This resulted in a partial impairment
of R1,1 billion (US$94 million). We are currently reviewing the capital spend on the oil field development plan
following the results of the drilling campaign and an update to the PSA approved capital expenditure will be
communicated at the 2019 interim results. We expect lower capital expenditure as a result of the oil development
but the gas development still remains according to our estimates made at FID (Final Investment Decision).

Our Gabon asset recorded an EBIT of R537 million, 82% higher compared to the prior year largely due to higher
sales prices. This was partially offset by a 12% decrease in production volumes resulting from the natural decline of
the field.

We impaired our Canadian shale gas assets by R2,8 billion in the first half of the year due to a further decline in
long-term gas prices. The disposal process for these assets has commenced, however these assets have not yet
been classified as held-for-sale. Further announcements will be made once the process develops to an advanced stage.

Strategic Business Units

Performance Chemicals - increased sales volumes, robust market demand, adversely impacted by
stronger rand

Our sales volumes increased by 1% compared to the prior year despite Eskom electricity interruptions at SSO and
Hurricane Harvey. We continued to take advantage of the strong demand for our organics and inorganics products
and expanded our footprint in differentiated markets. The margins for our European and US specialty businesses
remained resilient, benefitting from robust demand and favourable market conditions. Production volumes from
our Eurasian Operations increased by 3% due to stronger demand and increased plant availability.

EBIT decreased by 7% to R8,2 billion compared to the prior year, mainly due to the stronger exchange rate, start-up
costs associated with our growth projects and production interruptions at SSO. Excluding growth costs associated
with our projects in the US and Brunsb�ttel, cash fixed costs were contained to 2,6% for the year, which is below
inflation target.

Base Chemicals - lower volumes, profitability adversely impacted by the stronger rand

Our business benefitted from higher chemical US dollar prices, which improved by 12% due to higher crude oil
prices and favourable conditions prevailing in certain of our Solvents markets. The market demand remained strong
for most of our products, however the impact of the stronger exchange rate offset this benefit in earnings.

Normalised earnings* decreased by 18% to R5,2 billion compared to the prior year mainly due to the stronger
exchange rate which negatively impacted earnings by R1,8 billion or 27%. Our cash fixed costs, normalised for
growth and once-off items increased by only 5,5%, which is below our inflation target. Remeasurement items
includes an impairment of R5,2 billion (R3,7 billion after tax) on our South African Chlor Vinyls cash generating unit,
as a result of the continued and sustained strengthening of the exchange rate outlook and the resulting impact on
Base Chemicals margins.

Sales volumes decreased by 1% mainly due to production interruptions at SSO. Improved efficiencies in our Ethylene
and Propylene value chains have however partially negated the impact of production interruptions on sales volumes.

Our 50% joint venture HDPE plant with Ineos Olefins and Polymers USA achieved beneficial operation in November
2017. The plant ramped up production during quarter four and is performing to expectations. We have successfully
completed all guarantee runs and transitioned to bimodal production.

As part of the strategic review of our asset portfolio, we disposed of our 40% interest in the Petronas Chemicals
LDPE plant and our 12% share in Petronas Chemicals Olefins plant in March 2018 for R1,9 billion (US$163 million). We
are continuing to review our other assets and investments in the portfolio to further enhance performance and
improve the ROIC for the group.

Energy - margins improve, but volumes under pressure

Our normalised earnings* margin increased from 21% to 22% mainly as a result of a higher crude oil prices. This was
partially offset by lower liquid fuels volumes of R680 million (6%) and the stronger exchange rate of R1,9 billion
(17%).

Normalised earnings* increased by 12% to R15,1 billion when compared to the prior year. We continued to focus on
cost containment and identifying opportunities to further reduce our cost base. Normalised for the Power
Purchase Agreement with Eskom coming to an end in 2017, our cash fixed costs increased by only 1,9%, which is
well below inflation.

Natref's production volumes were 9% lower largely due to planned and unplanned production interruptions and an
Eskom electricity supply interruption at the start of the year. The first half of the year was challenging. However,
Natref delivered a strong performance during the last quarter of the year with an improved production run rate of
600m�/h despite a planned shutdown in quarter four. The increased volumes in the second half of the year partially
offsets the lower production volumes recorded in the first half of the year. We expect the positive production run
rate to continue in 2019.

ORYX GTL delivered a strong production performance with an average utilisation rate of 95%. ORYX GTL contributed
R1,2 billion to operating profit with volumes increasing by 1% compared to the prior year.

In Nigeria, Escravos GTL (EGTL), optimisation efforts to reduce costs and improve plant efficiency are progressing
well, with a marked improvement on average utilisation rates. This, together with a higher oil price outlook,
resulted in a reversal of impairment of our investment in EGTL of R254 million.

The challenging economic environment also impacted our gas sales volumes to the external market, resulting in a
reduction of 3% compared to the prior year. The available gas was, however, utilised internally in our integrated
value chain.

In line with our strategy to grow our South African retail presence and maximise margins, we opened 12 new Sasol
retail convenience centres (RCCs) and divested from 10 non-operating RCCs. We are continuing to accelerate the
growth of our retail network through organic growth and potential acquisitions. We are also improving our retail
offering to meet the changing trends of our customer base through embracing digitalisation. As part of our
commitment to transformation, we continued to focus on procurement, skills and enterprise development
initiatives and improved our B-BBEE score for Sasol Oil from a level 7 to a level 3 in the current year.

Advancing projects to enable future growth

We are making steady progress in delivering on our growth pipeline:

- Growing our footprint in North America:

- We are progressing with LCCP in Lake Charles and indications are that the cost of the project will remain
within the previous market guidance of US$11,13 billion. As at end June 2018, engineering, equipment
fabrication and procurement were substantially complete and construction progress reached 68%
completion. Overall the project is 88% complete with capital expenditure amounting to US$9,8 billion. The
project remains on track to start up the first three manufacturing units in the second half of the 2018
calendar year. A significant milestone was reached when we achieved first steam production in July 2018. The
expected start-up date of the remainder of the manufacturing units remains in the second half of the 2019
calendar year.

We have updated the LCCP economics with the current view of long-term market assumptions obtained from
independent market consultants. Due to the volatile market and differing views of where ethane will
be sourced from, the assumptions from the market consultants differs significantly. In a scenario where
ethane is sourced from the Gulf area, the internal rate of return (IRR) is 8,0% - 8,5% and assumes an ethane
price of between US$30-40 cents per gallon. The alternative view which assumes that ethane is sourced further away
from the Gulf yields an IRR of 5,2% - 5,7% as the ethane price is between US$60-65 cents per gallon. In both of these
scenarios the oil price is assumed to be US$60-80/bbl and the EBITDA at steady state ranges between
US$1,2 billion to US$1,3 billion. At spot prices, using the last quarter of 2018 as a reference, the IRR is 8,5% -
8,9%. The spot WACC rate for the US at 30 June 2018 was 7,68%.

- Focusing on our asset base in Africa:

- Our strategic R14 billion mine replacement programme, which will ensure uninterrupted coal supply to SSO in
order to support Sasol's strategy to operate our Southern African facilities until 2050, is nearing completion.
Phase two of the Impumelelo colliery project is on track to be completed within budget, late in the 2019
calendar year. The Shondoni colliery underground infrastructure was completed during May 2018 and the
colliery was officially inaugurated on 5 July 2018. The phases completed to date were within budget and schedule.

- In Mozambique, the PSA Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling activities have been completed. In total, 11 wells were
drilled comprising seven oil wells and four gas wells. The Inhassoro oil reservoirs have proved more complex
than expected and, with the reduced expectation of recoverable oil volumes and uncertainty on the oil price,
we are looking to maximise the use of existing processing facilities in the adjacent Petroleum Production
Agreement (PPA) facilities. Phase 1 gas results confirm gas resources cover for Central Termica Temane (CTT),
formerly Mozambique Gas-to-Power Project (MGtP). Phase 2 appraisal drilling results indicate gas volumes to
be at the lower end of our initial estimates. Focused efforts are underway to assess the range of options and
possibilities to sustainably secure and source gas feedstock.

- In continuing to execute our strategy, we have concluded a farm-in into the DE8 block in Gabon where we
now hold 40% working interest of that block. An exploration well drilled during the year was unsuccessful
and written off.

Maintaining our focus on safety and sustainable value creation

We continued to deliver on our broader sustainability and community contributions during the year:

- Safety remains one of our top priorities and is a core value. However, we are deeply saddened to report that we
had four work-related fatalities and six high severity injuries this year. An incident, which resulted in the tragic
death of an employee, was investigated as a fatality and the harm was determined to have been self-inflicted.
The main learnings from this investigation were taken on board and implemented. Our thoughts remain with the
families of our employees who have lost their lives in Sasol's service this year.

A senior executive safety workshop was conducted as a necessary intervention to evaluate industry best
practices and strengthen the standardised approach to prevent fatalities and high severity injuries across the
group. Four focus areas were identified which will form the basis of our safety programme for the next financial
year. Our 12 month rolling Recordable Case Rate for employees and service providers, excluding illnesses,
improved to 0,27, our lowest level ever recorded. We believe our focused programme will also improve our injury
rate.

- During the year, we invested R2 billion in skills development and socio-economic development, which includes
our Ikusasa programme, bursaries, learnerships and artisan training programmes. The Ikusasa programme
focuses on education, health and wellbeing, infrastructure, and safety and security in the Secunda and
Sasolburg regions.

- This year saw the publication of the draft Carbon Tax and Climate Change Bills, both of which are expected to be
implemented during the course of 2019. Sasol is supportive of the "Just Transition" campaign where a holistic
approach is taken to achieving a lower carbon economy. Sasol continues to constructively engage with
government on both these critical pieces of legislation. Further, we are progressing transparency around our
climate change management, aligned with international initiatives, such as the Task Force for Climate Related
Financial Disclosure requirements. Ongoing engagements with key stakeholders inform the robustness of our
journey.

- Our total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for all operations globally is slightly lower at 67,43 million tons for
2018 when compared to 67,68 million tons in the prior year. Our GHG emissions intensity (measured in carbon
dioxide equivalent per ton of production) is higher at 3,78 compared to 3,66 in 2017. This is due to lower
production levels in Secunda as a result of production interruptions.

- Sasol supports the objective of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (NEMAQA) to
contribute to an environment that is not harmful to human health or wellbeing. We regularly engage with the
Department of Environmental Affairs on this to achieve a sustainable regulatory framework to support
meaningful improvements in ambient air quality.

- While most of Sasol's processes will be able to comply with new plant Minimum Emission Standards by 2025,
there are selected activities that will not. For these specific cases, Sasol relies on applications for postponement
of the applicable compliance timeframes as we continue to investigate technical solutions that will ensure
compliance. In support, we are progressing the implementation of our committed air quality roadmaps.

- The Sasol Group Energy Intensity index (EIi) improved from the 2015 baseline by 6,03% against our internal
target of 3% (1% per year). Our South African Operation's EIi for 2018 is 6,62% and has essentially remained
unchanged from the previous year mainly due to unplanned electricity supply outages resulting in frequent
plant interruptions at our South African operations.

- During the year, we paid R39,5 billion in direct and indirect taxes to the South African government. Sasol
remains one of the largest corporate taxpayers in South Africa, contributing significantly to the country's
economy.

- During 2018, Sasol made good progress in terms of Preferential Procurement which resulted in actual spend
with black owned suppliers increasing by R5,2 billion to R12,7 billion from the prior year.

- Sasol is committed to sustainable transformation and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). In
our recent B-BBEE verification, Sasol achieved a Level 6 contributor status representing a key milestone in our
journey of achieving at least a Level 4 contributor status by 2020.

Unwinding of Inzalo B-BBEE transaction

As announced on 26 June 2018, Sasol settled the Sasol Inzalo Groups preference share debt of approximately
R4,6 billion in June 2018 by utilising existing cash to repurchase up to 9,5 million preferred ordinary shares from
Sasol Inzalo Groups Funding (Pty) Ltd (RF) at a 30 day, volume weighted average price (VWAP) of R475,03, and funded the
residual shortfall on the third party debt of R59 million. The Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) debt becomes
due in September 2018. The Board has approved that Sasol settle the Sasol Inzalo Public debt in the same manner as
Sasol Inzalo Groups so as to limit dilution on our shareholders, while maintaining investment grade ratings by utilising
existing cash or credit facilities to repurchase 16,1 million preferred ordinary shares from
Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF). Based on Sasol's current share price and the forecast debt balances, there could
be residual value, after settlement of third party debt, which will be distributed to Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF)
ordinary shareholders.

Business performance outlook* - strong production performance and cost
reductions to continue

The current economic climate continues to remain highly volatile and uncertain. While oil price and foreign
exchange movements are outside our control and may impact our results, our focus remains firmly on managing
factors within our control, including volume growth, cost optimisation, effective capital allocation, focused financial
risk management and maintaining an investment grade credit rating.

We expect an overall strong operational performance for 2019, with:

- SSO volumes of between 7,6 to 7,7 million tons impacted by a planned full shutdown in 2019;

- Liquid fuels sales of approximately 57 to 58 million barrels due to a planned full shutdown at SSO;

- Base Chemicals sales volumes, excluding US produced products, to be 2%-3% higher than the prior year, with
US dollar product pricing expected to follow Brent crude oil prices. Our US HDPE plant will contribute for the full
year, while LCCP is expected to start contributing during the second half of the year.

- Performance Chemicals sales volumes to be 2%-4% higher, excluding the LCCP;

- Gas production volumes from the Petroleum Production Agreement in Mozambique to be between 114 bscf to
118 bscf;

- We expect to achieve an average utilisation rate of 95% at ORYX GTL in Qatar;

- Normalised cash fixed costs to remain in line within our inflation assumption of 6%;

- Capital expenditure, including capital accruals, of R38 billion for 2019 and R30 billion for 2020 as we progress
with the execution of our growth plan and strategy. Capital estimates may change as a result of exchange rate
volatility and other factors;

- Our balance sheet gearing to range between 40%-44%;

- Rand/US dollar exchange rate to range between R12,50 and R13,50; and

- Average Brent crude oil prices to remain between US$65/bbl and US$75/bbl.

Competition law compliance

In 2012, the South African Competition Commission referred allegations of price-fixing and market division against
various petroleum products producers, including Sasol to the Competition Tribunal. Sasol and the other companies
involved settled the matter with the Competition Commission on a no fine and no admission of guilt basis and
provided undertakings regarding future exchange of information within the industry. The application for
confirmation of the settlement agreement was heard before the Competition Tribunal on 7 February 2018. On 3 May
2018, the Competition Tribunal approved the settlement agreement. This effectively closed the investigations with
no penalty imposed on Sasol.

Tax litigation and contingency

As previously reported, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) issued revised assessments for Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd
(Sasol Oil) relating to a dispute around our international crude oil procurement activities for the 2005 to 2012 tax
years. Sasol Oil has co-operated fully with SARS during the course of the audit related to these assessments.

The litigation process in the Tax Court, relating to the international crude oil procurement activities for the 2005 to
2007 years of assessment, was concluded and judgement was delivered on 30 June 2017 in favour of SARS. As a
result, a liability of R1,3 billion has been recognised in the prior year financial statements in respect of the 2005 to
2014 matters that remain the subject of the ongoing litigation. Sasol Oil, in consultation with its tax and legal
advisors, does not support the basis of the judgement and filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
The SCA hearing will take place on 21 August 2018, and it is anticipated that the judgement will likely be delivered
within a few months thereafter.

SARS has notified Sasol Oil of its intention to place on hold the field audit relating to this issue for the 1999 to 2004
tax years pending the outcome of the litigation. As a result of the judgement handed down on 30 June 2017, a
possible obligation may arise from the field audit, which is regarded as a contingent liability.

In addition, there could be a potential tax exposure of R12,6 billion for the periods 2013 to 2014 on varying tax
principles relating to the aforementioned activities, which remains the subject of an appeal. Supported by specialist
tax and legal advisors, Sasol Oil disagrees with SARS' additional assessments for the 2013 and 2014 periods and has
filed an appeal in the Tax Court, which has been suspended, pending the decision of the SCA. A possible obligation
may arise for the tax years subsequent to 2014, which could give rise to a future contingent liability also depending
to a degree on the outcome of the SCA hearing. SARS' decision to suspend the payment of this disputed tax for the
periods 2005 to 2014 currently remains in force.

In 2010, SARS commenced with a request for information in respect of Sasol Financing International Plc (SFI). This
matter progressed to an audit over the years and has now culminated in SARS issuing a final audit letter on
16 February 2018. Consequently, assessments were issued in respect of the 2002 to 2012 tax years. SARS argues
that the place of effective management of SFI, an offshore treasury function, was South Africa. This approach could
result in potential tax exposure of R3,1 billion (including interest and penalties as at 30 June 2018). SFI has co-
operated fully with SARS during the course of the audit related to these assessments. SFI, in consultation with its
tax and legal advisors, does not support the basis of these additional assessments for all the years. Accordingly, SFI
lodged objections and will submit appeals (as the case may be) to the assessments as the legal process unfolds.
SARS' decision to suspend the payment of this disputed tax for the periods 2002 to 2012 currently remains in force.
Sasol is committed to compliance with tax laws and any disputes with tax authorities on the interpretation of tax
laws and regulations will be addressed in a transparent and constructive manner.

Change in directors

Ms MBN Dube was appointed as an independent director with effect from 1 April 2018 and Mr HG Dijkgraaf retired
as an independent director on 30 April 2018. Mr MJN Njeke was appointed as the lead independent director with
effect from 30 April 2018.

Declaration of cash dividend number 78

A final gross cash dividend of South African 790 cents per share (30 June 2017 - 780 cents per ordinary share) has
been declared for the year ended 30 June 2018. The cash dividend is payable on the ordinary shares and the Sasol
BEE ordinary shares. The Board is satisfied that the liquidity and solvency of the company, as well as capital adequacy
remaining after payment of the dividend is sufficient to support the current operations for the ensuing year. The
dividend has been declared out of retained earnings (income reserves). The South African dividend withholding tax
rate is 20%. At the declaration date, there are 623 081 550 ordinary, 16 085 199 preferred ordinary and 6 394 179
Sasol BEE ordinary shares in issue. The net dividend amount payable to shareholders who are not exempt from the
dividend withholding tax, is 632 cents per share, while the dividend amount payable to shareholders who are
exempt from dividend withholding tax is 790 cents per share.

Basis of preparation

The summarised consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the JSE Limited's (JSE) Listings
Requirements for summary financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to
summary financial statements. The JSE requires summary financial statements to be prepared in accordance with
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides
as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial
Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34, Interim
Financial Reporting.

The summarised consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosure required for complete annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These summarised consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historic cost
convention except that certain items, including derivative instruments, liabilities for cash-settled share-based
payment schemes, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets, are
stated at fair value.

The summarised consolidated financial statements are presented in South African rand, which is Sasol Limited's
functional and presentation currency. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these summarised
consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the consolidated
annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The summarised consolidated financial statements appearing in this announcement are the responsibility of the
directors. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the summarised consolidated financial
statements. Paul Victor CA(SA), Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for this set of summarised consolidated
financial statements and has supervised the preparation thereof in conjunction with the Senior Vice President:
Financial Control Services, Brenda Baijnath CA(SA).

Pro-forma financial information

Core headline earnings and US dollar convenience translations included in this announcement constitutes pro-
forma financial information.

The pro-forma financial information is the responsibility of the board of directors and is presented for illustrative
purposes only. Because of its nature, the pro-forma financial information may not fairly present Sasol's financial
position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flows. The underlying information, used in the preparation
of the pro-forma financial information, has been prepared using accounting policies which comply with IFRS and
are consistent with those applied in the published group consolidated annual financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2018.

This pro-forma information has been reported on by the group's auditors, being PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. Their
unqualified reporting accountant's report thereon is available for inspection at the company's registered address.

Related party transactions

The group, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various sale and purchase transactions on an arm's
length basis at market rates with related parties.

Subsequent events
The Sasol Limited Board approved that Sasol repurchase the shares from Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) in
September 2018 and settle the outstanding debt of R7,4 billion and a cash top-up for value realised of approximately
R 600 million in September 2018, assuming a shape price of R500. This will then conclude the unwinding of the
Sasol Inzalo transaction.

Financial instruments

Fair value

Fair value is determined using valuation techniques as outlined unless the instrument is listed in an active market.
Where possible, inputs are based on quoted prices and other market determined variables.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below represents significant financial instruments measured at fair value at reporting date, or for which
fair value is disclosed at 30 June 2018. The US dollar bond, the interest rate swap, the crude oil put options, the
zero-cost foreign exchange collars and the coal swaps were considered to be significant financial instruments for
the group based on the amounts recognised in the statement of financial position. The calculation of fair value
requires various inputs into the valuation methodologies used. The source of the inputs used affects the reliability
and accuracy of the valuations. Financial instruments have been classified into the hierarchical levels in line with
IFRS 13.

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (directly or indirectly).
Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are unobservable.

SAFETY

Safety Recordable Case Rate (RCR), excluding illnesses,improved to 0,27, our lowest so far, regrettably four fatalities

Joint President and Chief Executive Officer, Bongani Nqwababa said:

Our resilient 2018 performance was underpinned by higher sales and production volumes, in the second half of the
year. This was enabled by our continued focus on factors within our control and higher global oil prices, resulting in
improved product prices and margins, notwithstanding continued exchange rate volatility. Overall, our operational
performance was satisfactory, however unplanned Eskom electricity supply interruptions and two internal outages
at Secunda Synfuels Operations, negatively impacted volumes. Enhancing our foundation businesses, a core aspect
of our value-based strategy, will be delivered through ensuring safe and sustainable operations, robust asset
management strategies, continuous improvement and digitalisation, underscored by disciplined capital allocation.

Joint President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Cornell said:

2019 will be a defining year for Sasol with the start-up of the LCCP, a catalyst for transforming our earnings profile(1).
Mozambique, our other key growth area, remains central to our gas strategy where we are stepping up efforts to
secure long-term gas feedstock, while delivering on our stakeholder commitments. Improving the flexibility of our
balance sheet, through increased cash flow and reduced gearing, and managing an optimal capital structure will be
a key focus ahead. We remain confident in delivering on our strategy, which will realise sustainable long-term value
for our stakeholders.

Financial results overview(2,4)

Sasol delivered a resilient set of results, underpinned by satisfactory sales and production volumes, delivering a flat
normalised real cash fixed cost base and benefitting from much higher crude oil and product margins in the second
half of the financial year. Our financial results were negatively impacted by several unplanned Eskom electricity
supply interruptions and two internal outages at our Secunda Synfuels (SSO) and Natref operations that resulted in
lower production volumes, as well as a 6% stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate compared to the prior period.

Our underlying cash flow performance was robust. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA(4)) increased by 10% when compared to the prior year. Core headline earnings(3) per share (CHEPS) however
decreased by 6% to R36,03 compared to the prior period and Headline Earnings Per Share decreased by 22% to
R27,44. The difference between core headline earnings and EBITDA in the current year is largely due to depreciation
of approximately R16 billion and employee share-based payment expenses of R1,5 billion due to the marked
improvement of the Sasol share price at the end of the financial year. The share-based payment relating to our
Khanyisa Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) transaction of R3 billion is excluded from core
headline earnings and EBITDA as it is considered to be a once-off and non-cash item.

Sasol's core headline earnings per share were impacted by the following notable once-off and period close items:

2018 2017
% change Rand per Rand per
2018 vs 2017 share share
Headline earnings per share (22) 27,44 35,15
Translation impact of closing exchange rate (106) (0,09) 1,39
Mark-to-market valuation of hedges 3,81 (0,42)
Implementation of Khanyisa B-BBEE transaction 4,82 -
LCCP ramp-up depreciation 0,05 -
Once-off Uzbekistan license fee - (0,59)
Strike action at Mining and related costs - 1,45
Provision for tax litigation matters - 1,49
Core headline earnings per share(3) (6) 36,03 38,47

Earnings attributable to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2018 decreased by 57% to R8,7 billion from
R20,4 billion in the prior year. This resulted in earnings per share (EPS) decreasing by 57% to R14,26 compared to
the prior year. The stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate and the negative impact of remeasurement
items, largely driven by the stronger longer-term rand exchange rate, resulted in a much lower profit and earnings
per share for the year.

The closing exchange rate however weakened by 5% which negatively impacted gearing and the valuation of our
derivatives and foreign debtors and loans. Our hedging programme for the 2018 and 2019 financial years is
complete and positions Sasol well to steer through these periods of volatility. The average Brent crude oil price
moved 28% higher compared to the prior year, and, since December 2017, spot prices have moved closer to the
US$75/bbl mark which positively impacted our results. The rand per barrel oil price increased by approximately
20% to R818 per barrel compared to 2017, (refer to table below), and has subsequently increased by approximately
15% - 25% since the end of June 2018. The spot rand per barrel oil price is now ranging between R950 and R1 050
per barrel.

The movement in macroeconomic factors can be summarised as follows:

% change 2018 2017
Rand/US dollar average exchange rate (6) 12,85 13,61
Rand/US dollar closing exchange rate 5 13,73 13,06
Average dated Brent crude oil price (US dollar/barrel) 28 63,62 49,77
Refining margins (US dollar/barrel) (8) 9,32 10,09
Average Henry Hub gas price (US dollar/million British thermal unit) (2) 2,95 3,00

(1) Forward looking statements are the responsibility of the directors and in accordance with standard practice, it is noted that this
statement has not been reviewed and reported on by the company's auditors.
(2) All comparisons to the prior period refer to the year ended 30 June 2017. All numbers are quoted on a pre-tax basis, except for
earnings attributable to shareholders and the Response Plan cash conservation measures.
(3) Core headline earnings are calculated by adjusting headline earnings with once-off items, period close adjustments and depreciation
and amortisation of significant capital projects, exceeding R4 billion which have reached beneficial operation and are still ramping up
and share-based payments on implementation of B-BBEE transactions. Period close adjustments in relation to the valuation of our
derivatives at period end is to remove volatility from earnings as these instruments are valued using forward curves and other
market factors at the reporting date and could vary from period to period. We believe core headline earnings are a useful measure of
the group's sustainable operating performance. However, this is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be comparable with

measures reported by other companies.

Operational and cost performance

Sasol experienced some challenges with regards to our operational performance during the year, largely due to
planned and unplanned production interruptions at SSO, Natref and Mining which impacted production and sales
volumes across the value chain. Despite these interruptions, we delivered a stronger overall operational
performance in the second half of the year. Our production run-rates during the fourth quarter of financial year
2018, on an annual average basis, supports our internal targeted run-rates.

Sales volumes increased by 1% for our Performance Chemicals business spurred by robust market demand despite
Eskom electricity supply interruptions. Base Chemicals reported a 1% decrease in sales volumes mainly due to
production interruptions at SSO and a stock build for our high density polyethylene joint venture in the US.
Excluding the impact of Eskom electricity supply interruptions, sales volumes increased by 1%. Liquid fuels sales
volumes were down 2% due to lower volumes from SSO and Natref and a challenging South African retail liquid
fuels market.

The highlights of our business performance are summarised below:

- In the first half of the year, our mining operations were focused on ramping up production volumes post the
labour strike in the prior year. However, in the period December 2017 to February 2018 we experienced three
tragic work-related fatalities which significantly slowed us in ramping up our operational performance and
resulted in lower than expected production volumes.

We are committed to ensuring that our mining operations remain safe and have implemented a number of
initiatives to restore our safety performance. Our Business Improvement Programme (BIP), aimed at increasing
productivity and achieving cost efficiency was refocused post the stabilisation of our safety performance in
March 2018 and to date we have seen some positive results. Our production run rate over the past quarter has
improved by more than 20% compared to the previous quarter and is representative of a run rate to achieve
40 million tons per year and match pre strike production rates.

- Production volumes from SSO decreased by 3% to 7,6 million tons mainly as a result of unplanned Eskom supply
interruptions (1%) and internal outages (2%) during the year. Notwithstanding, we continued to improve
operational processes and plant efficiencies to realise better production yields. Our production run rates
achieved during May and June 2018, supports full year production of approximately 7,8 million tons.

- Our Eurasian Operations continued to improve on their operational performance and delivered a 3% increase in
production volumes. This was largely due to stronger product demand and increased plant availability.

- ORYX GTL delivered a strong production performance, with an average utilisation rate of 95% exceeding our
market guidance of 92%.

- Natref's production volumes were 9% lower due to planned shutdowns and an unexpected electricity supply
interruption at the start of the financial period. The second half of the year however yielded much improved
production rates despite a planned shutdown in quarter four. The increased volumes in the second half of 2018
partially offsets the lower production volumes recorded in the first half of the year. The production run rate for
quarter four was 600m�/h resulting in a full year run rate of 536m�/h. This compares to a run rate of 592m�/h in 2017.

A detailed production summary and key business performance metrics for the financial year for all our businesses is
available on our website, <a href="http://www.sasol.com&quot; target="_blank">www.sasol.com</a&gt;.

Turning to our cost performance, cash fixed costs were up 2% in real terms in the first half of the year mainly as a
result of above-mentioned planned and unplanned production interruptions. In the second half of the year, we
increased our focus on improving our cost efficiency and managed to keep our normalised cash fixed costs
(excluding growth and once-off items) for the year flat in real terms. We are of the view that our cost management
processes remain robust to protect and improve our cost competitive position and still positions us in managing
our cost base to within our inflation target, while ensuring that we maintain safe and sustainable operations.
Whilst we have reduced our cost base significantly through our Business Performance Enhancement Programme
(BPEP) and Response Plan (RP), we are continuing to evaluate further opportunities to reduce cost through our
Continuous Improvement (CI) programme. The inflation rate for South Africa remains volatile and has moved from
6,5% over the past two years to 4,7% at 30 June 2018. Against this backdrop, we are targeting an inflation rate of
6% as a more sustainable increase for our cost base. We are well positioned to continue with this improved
operational and cost performance into the 2019 financial year.

Cash and capital performance

Cash generated by operating activities decreased slightly to R42,9 billion compared with R44,1 billion in the prior
year. This is largely attributable to a R3,8 billion increase in working capital. Our trade receivables increased by
R2,8 billion due to higher chemical sales prices and higher volumes in June 2018 which translated into cash in July
2018. In addition, due to the last day of the financial year being on a weekend, R1 billion was received from debtors
in the first three business days of July 2018. Inventory increased by R3,4 billion mainly as a result of higher
feedstock costs as a result of the increase in crude oil prices compared to the previous financial year. Inventory
holding in days were slightly higher compared to the previous financial year.

Actual capital expenditure, including accruals, amounted to R53,4 billion. This includes R30,1 billion (US$2,3 billion)
relating to the LCCP. The capital spending rate is aligned to our internal targets and with previous market guidance provided.

Our net cash position decreased by 42%, from R29,3 billion in the prior period to R17 billion as at 30 June 2018 due
to the funding of the LCCP and investments to fund growth projects. Loans raised during the year amounted to
R25 billion, mainly for the funding of our US growth project. Short-term debt increases relates to the Sasol Inzalo Public
transaction unwinding in September 2018. During the year, we increased our existing US$1,5 billion Revolving Credit
Facility to US$3,9 billion and extended the maturity to five years, with the inclusion of two further extension
options of one year each. In addition, our Domestic Medium Term Note Programme of R8 billion provides us with
access to the South African debt capital markets. The focus on our funding plan will now shift to ensuring that
longer-term debt instruments are put in place.

Due to the funding of the LCCP, more than 80% of our debt is now US dollar denominated. Given the significantly
weaker closing exchange rate of R13,73 and the related translation loss of R4,8 billion arising on the valuation of the
balance sheet at year end, gearing increased to 43,2%, which is slightly below our internal ceiling and market
guidance. Included in net debt is R6,1 billion of new finance leases mainly relating to Oxygen Train 17 in Secunda and
rail storage facilities at the LCCP.

We are actively reviewing our capital structure and funding plan to ensure that we maintain an optimum solvency
and liquidity profile. The unwinding of the Sasol Inzalo transaction has been structured to ensure that our credit ratings
are maintained at investment grade and with the least amount of dilution to our shareholders. The Sasol Limited
Board (the Board) approved that Sasol repurchase the shares from Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) and settle the outstanding
debt of R7,4 billion and a cash top-up for value realised of approximately R600 million in September 2018, assuming a share
price of R500. This step will eliminate any Sasol shareholder dilution as a result of the unwind of the Sasol Inzalo B-BBEE
structure.

We therefore expect our gearing to remain around peak levels of 40% - 44% in 2019 due to higher debt associated
with the Inzalo unwind. Accordingly, the Board approved that we manage the balance sheet to below our peak
internal gearing ceiling of 44% for the 2019 financial year.

In January 2018, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Sasol's credit rating at a BBB-/A-3 with a stable outlook. This is two
notches above the South African sovereign credit rating and is at investment grade. Similarly Moody's Investors
Service (Moody's) confirmed South Africa's sovereign rating at Baa3 changing the rating from negative to stable in
March 2018, while affirming Sasol's global scale long-term issuer rating at Baa3, adjusting the outlook from
negative to stable. Sasol's national scale long-term rating was affirmed at Aaa.za. Moody's has delinked Sasol from
the South African sovereign rating by one notch.

Our dividend policy is to pay dividends with a dividend cover range based on CHEPS. Taking into account the impact
of the current volatile macroeconomic environment, capital investment plans, the current gearing range of 43,2%,
and the dividend cover range, the Board has declared a gross final dividend of R7,90 per ordinary share and Sasol
BEE ordinary share (1,3% higher compared to the prior year). The dividend cover was 2,8 times at 30 June 2018
(30 June 2017: 2,8 times).

Update on hedging activities

As part of our enterprise risk management framework, we entered into a number of hedges to mitigate specific
financial market risks and provide protection of our balance sheet and operating cash flows against unforeseen
movements in oil prices, interest rates, currency movements, commodity and final product prices. A summary of
our group hedges are presented below:

Settled Open
contracts contracts
2018 2019
Brent oil - put options
Number of barrels hedged mm bbl 50,25 48,00
Average Brent crude oil price floor, net of costs US$/bbl 47,82 53,36
Premiums paid US$ m 125,00 131,00
Rand/US dollar currency - zero-cost collar instruments
US$ exposure hedged US$bn 4,00 4,00
Annual average floor R/US$ 13,46 13,14
Annual average cap R/US$ 15,51 15,14
Export coal - swaps
Number of tons hedged mm tons 2,80 1,40
Average coal swap price US$/ton 76,11 81,82
Ethane gas - Swaps
Number of barrels hedged mm bbl 2,30 3,50
Average ethane gas swap price US$ c/gal 27,54 27,30

Our hedging strategy has held us in good stead as we have managed to secure a floor of US$48/bbl for 2018 and
US$53/bbl for 2019 which protects our balance sheet against crude oil price volatility. On the exchange rate, we
have realised gains of R2,8 billion (cash flow) in 2018 which protected earnings and the balance sheet given the
average exchange rate of R12,85/US$1.

The current volatility in the crude oil price and exchange rate impacted the valuation of the open hedges at the end
of 2018. The unrealised losses include:

- R0,3 billion loss on the rand/US dollar zero-cost collars;
- R1,2 billion loss on Brent crude oil put options. The open instruments were valued against an average strike of
US$56/bbl; and
- R0,4 billion loss on export coal swaps.

These losses are highly dependent on market factors and could change in 2019 depending on the actual oil price
realised and exchange rate performance. We have completed our hedging programme for 2019 and are considering
our hedging strategy for 2020 given the current oil price outlook and exchange rate volatility.

Continuous improvement and digitalisation

Our low oil price RP achieved cumulative cash savings of R85,3 billion since January 2015, exceeding our target
range of R65-75 billion. The RP has delivered sustainable annual cash fixed cost savings of R3,5 billion which is in
addition to the R5,4 billion sustainable cost savings from our BPEP. This brings our cumulative sustainable cost
savings to R8,9 billion. We have now formally closed the RP at the end of June 2018. This proactive initiative
enabled us to manage the balance sheet through periods of oil price volatility, while maintaining our investment
grade and ability to fund our growth projects.

To ensure that we remain relevant and competitive and to reap the benefits of a higher oil price, we have
introduced a CI programme. CI, building on the solid foundation established by the BPEP and the RP, is aimed at
ensuring our continued competitiveness at an oil price of $40/bbl, while enhancing our offering to markets across
all the industries in which we compete. Our medium-term target is to increase our Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
for our foundation businesses by at least two percentage points by 2022 to 19%. This is off a 2017 actual base,
normalised for remeasurements and once-off items and excluding assets under construction. To date, we have
identified value enhancing opportunities to the value of 50% of the target, which positions us well towards
achieving our 2022 medium-term target.

Value adding digitalisation improvements, process simplification, selective core function repositioning and asset
performance reviews, are considered across all our businesses globally as key enablers to achieving our CI targets.

Our digitalisation objectives are centered around improving asset health management (predictive maintenance),
increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of operations (yield, energy, throughput, plan and schedule
achievement), advancing customer engagement, and extracting value from business process automation. Through
the effective use of data and digital technologies, we are positioning digitalisation to significantly contribute to our
continuous improvement target of a 2% ROIC uplift by 2022. We are making steady progress with our focused
asset review process. Several non-strategic assets have been identified for possible disposal or reduced
shareholding. During the past financial year we successfully disposed of our shareholding in our Base Chemical joint
ventures in Malaysia and several smaller investments. The disposal process for our Canadian shale assets has
commenced. Market updates will be made as sufficient progress is made without negatively impacting the disposal process.

Effective tax rate

Our effective corporate tax rate increased from 28,3% to 35,4% largely as a result of impairments relating to our
shale gas assets in Canada (R2,8 billion) and the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) in Mozambique (R1,1 billion)
as well as the share-based payment expense (R3 billion) with the implementation of Sasol Khanyisa. The adjusted
effective tax rate, excluding equity accounted investments, remeasurements and once-off items, is 27,3%
compared to 26,5% in the prior year.

Satisfactory operational performance, higher oil and product prices(1,3)

Operating Business Units

Mining - improving productivity, benefitting from higher global coal prices

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) increased by 41% to R5,2 billion compared to the prior period, mainly as a
result of the strike action in 2017. Earnings, excluding the strike cost and remeasurement items, increased by 4%
due to higher selling prices to SSO, an increase in export coal sales volumes and a 16% increase in export coal prices,
partially offset by additional external coal purchases of R865 million to restore the stockpile to two million tons. At
30 June 2018, our coal stockpiles were fully restored through own production and additional external coal
purchases. Based on our improved production run rate in the last quarter, we expect our external purchases from
Anglo Coal's Isibonelo Colliery to return to our targeted level of five million tons per year. External coal purchased to
supplement production ceased during July 2018.

Normalised unit cost of production increased by 5% to R284/ton compared to the prior year as a result of
productivity rates not reaching our planned internal targets. This is in line with previous market guidance.

Sasol Mining concluded a three-year wage agreement with all five of our participating trade unions in August 2017.

Exploration and Production International (E&PI) - strong operational delivery from Mozambique and
Gabon, partial impairment of PSA

EBIT adjusted for remeasurement items and the closing rate translation effect (normalised earnings*) amounted to
R270 million for the period.

Our Mozambican producing operations recorded an EBIT of R2 billion largely due to higher sales prices which was
partly negated by lower demand in the Mozambican gas market. The valuation of the PSA was impacted by weaker
long-term macroeconomic assumptions and lower than expected oil volumes. This resulted in a partial impairment
of R1,1 billion (US$94 million). We are currently reviewing the capital spend on the oil field development plan
following the results of the drilling campaign and an update to the PSA approved capital expenditure will be
communicated at the 2019 interim results. We expect lower capital expenditure as a result of the oil development
but the gas development still remains according to our estimates made at FID (Final Investment Decision).

Our Gabon asset recorded an EBIT of R537 million, 82% higher compared to the prior year largely due to higher
sales prices. This was partially offset by a 12% decrease in production volumes resulting from the natural decline of
the field.

We impaired our Canadian shale gas assets by R2,8 billion in the first half of the year due to a further decline in
long-term gas prices. The disposal process for these assets has commenced, however these assets have not yet
been classified as held-for-sale. Further announcements will be made once the process develops to an advanced stage.

Strategic Business Units

Performance Chemicals - increased sales volumes, robust market demand, adversely impacted by
stronger rand

Our sales volumes increased by 1% compared to the prior year despite Eskom electricity interruptions at SSO and
Hurricane Harvey. We continued to take advantage of the strong demand for our organics and inorganics products
and expanded our footprint in differentiated markets. The margins for our European and US specialty businesses
remained resilient, benefitting from robust demand and favourable market conditions. Production volumes from
our Eurasian Operations increased by 3% due to stronger demand and increased plant availability.

EBIT decreased by 7% to R8,2 billion compared to the prior year, mainly due to the stronger exchange rate, start-up
costs associated with our growth projects and production interruptions at SSO. Excluding growth costs associated
with our projects in the US and Brunsb�ttel, cash fixed costs were contained to 2,6% for the year, which is below
inflation target.

Base Chemicals - lower volumes, profitability adversely impacted by the stronger rand

Our business benefitted from higher chemical US dollar prices, which improved by 12% due to higher crude oil
prices and favourable conditions prevailing in certain of our Solvents markets. The market demand remained strong
for most of our products, however the impact of the stronger exchange rate offset this benefit in earnings.

Normalised earnings* decreased by 18% to R5,2 billion compared to the prior year mainly due to the stronger
exchange rate which negatively impacted earnings by R1,8 billion or 27%. Our cash fixed costs, normalised for
growth and once-off items increased by only 5,5%, which is below our inflation target. Remeasurement items
includes an impairment of R5,2 billion (R3,7 billion after tax) on our South African Chlor Vinyls cash generating unit,
as a result of the continued and sustained strengthening of the exchange rate outlook and the resulting impact on
Base Chemicals margins.

Sales volumes decreased by 1% mainly due to production interruptions at SSO. Improved efficiencies in our Ethylene
and Propylene value chains have however partially negated the impact of production interruptions on sales volumes.

Our 50% joint venture HDPE plant with Ineos Olefins and Polymers USA achieved beneficial operation in November
2017. The plant ramped up production during quarter four and is performing to expectations. We have successfully
completed all guarantee runs and transitioned to bimodal production.

As part of the strategic review of our asset portfolio, we disposed of our 40% interest in the Petronas Chemicals
LDPE plant and our 12% share in Petronas Chemicals Olefins plant in March 2018 for R1,9 billion (US$163 million). We
are continuing to review our other assets and investments in the portfolio to further enhance performance and
improve the ROIC for the group.

Energy - margins improve, but volumes under pressure

Our normalised earnings* margin increased from 21% to 22% mainly as a result of a higher crude oil prices. This was
partially offset by lower liquid fuels volumes of R680 million (6%) and the stronger exchange rate of R1,9 billion
(17%).

Normalised earnings* increased by 12% to R15,1 billion when compared to the prior year. We continued to focus on
cost containment and identifying opportunities to further reduce our cost base. Normalised for the Power
Purchase Agreement with Eskom coming to an end in 2017, our cash fixed costs increased by only 1,9%, which is
well below inflation.

Natref's production volumes were 9% lower largely due to planned and unplanned production interruptions and an
Eskom electricity supply interruption at the start of the year. The first half of the year was challenging. However,
Natref delivered a strong performance during the last quarter of the year with an improved production run rate of
600m�/h despite a planned shutdown in quarter four. The increased volumes in the second half of the year partially
offsets the lower production volumes recorded in the first half of the year. We expect the positive production run
rate to continue in 2019.

ORYX GTL delivered a strong production performance with an average utilisation rate of 95%. ORYX GTL contributed
R1,2 billion to operating profit with volumes increasing by 1% compared to the prior year.

In Nigeria, Escravos GTL (EGTL), optimisation efforts to reduce costs and improve plant efficiency are progressing
well, with a marked improvement on average utilisation rates. This, together with a higher oil price outlook,
resulted in a reversal of impairment of our investment in EGTL of R254 million.

The challenging economic environment also impacted our gas sales volumes to the external market, resulting in a
reduction of 3% compared to the prior year. The available gas was, however, utilised internally in our integrated
value chain.

In line with our strategy to grow our South African retail presence and maximise margins, we opened 12 new Sasol
retail convenience centres (RCCs) and divested from 10 non-operating RCCs. We are continuing to accelerate the
growth of our retail network through organic growth and potential acquisitions. We are also improving our retail
offering to meet the changing trends of our customer base through embracing digitalisation. As part of our
commitment to transformation, we continued to focus on procurement, skills and enterprise development
initiatives and improved our B-BBEE score for Sasol Oil from a level 7 to a level 3 in the current year.

* Normalised earnings represent reported EBIT adjusted for remeasurement items and the closing rate translation effects based on
information contained in the published Group consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Advancing projects to enable future growth

We are making steady progress in delivering on our growth pipeline:

- Growing our footprint in North America:

- We are progressing with LCCP in Lake Charles and indications are that the cost of the project will remain
within the previous market guidance of US$11,13 billion. As at end June 2018, engineering, equipment
fabrication and procurement were substantially complete and construction progress reached 68%
completion. Overall the project is 88% complete with capital expenditure amounting to US$9,8 billion. The
project remains on track to start up the first three manufacturing units in the second half of the 2018
calendar year. A significant milestone was reached when we achieved first steam production in July 2018. The
expected start-up date of the remainder of the manufacturing units remains in the second half of the 2019
calendar year.

We have updated the LCCP economics with the current view of long-term market assumptions obtained from
independent market consultants. Due to the volatile market and differing views of where ethane will
be sourced from, the assumptions from the market consultants differs significantly. In a scenario where
ethane is sourced from the Gulf area, the internal rate of return (IRR) is 8,0% - 8,5% and assumes an ethane
price of between US$30-40 cents per gallon. The alternative view which assumes that ethane is sourced further away
from the Gulf yields an IRR of 5,2% - 5,7% as the ethane price is between US$60-65 cents per gallon. In both of these
scenarios the oil price is assumed to be US$60-80/bbl and the EBITDA at steady state ranges between
US$1,2 billion to US$1,3 billion. At spot prices, using the last quarter of 2018 as a reference, the IRR is 8,5% -
8,9%. The spot WACC rate for the US at 30 June 2018 was 7,68%.

- Focusing on our asset base in Africa:

- Our strategic R14 billion mine replacement programme, which will ensure uninterrupted coal supply to SSO in
order to support Sasol's strategy to operate our Southern African facilities until 2050, is nearing completion.
Phase two of the Impumelelo colliery project is on track to be completed within budget, late in the 2019
calendar year. The Shondoni colliery underground infrastructure was completed during May 2018 and the
colliery was officially inaugurated on 5 July 2018. The phases completed to date were within budget and schedule.

- In Mozambique, the PSA Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling activities have been completed. In total, 11 wells were
drilled comprising seven oil wells and four gas wells. The Inhassoro oil reservoirs have proved more complex
than expected and, with the reduced expectation of recoverable oil volumes and uncertainty on the oil price,
we are looking to maximise the use of existing processing facilities in the adjacent Petroleum Production
Agreement (PPA) facilities. Phase 1 gas results confirm gas resources cover for Central Termica Temane (CTT),
formerly Mozambique Gas-to-Power Project (MGtP). Phase 2 appraisal drilling results indicate gas volumes to
be at the lower end of our initial estimates. Focused efforts are underway to assess the range of options and
possibilities to sustainably secure and source gas feedstock.

- In continuing to execute our strategy, we have concluded a farm-in into the DE8 block in Gabon where we
now hold 40% working interest of that block. An exploration well drilled during the year was unsuccessful
and written off.

Maintaining our focus on safety and sustainable value creation

We continued to deliver on our broader sustainability and community contributions during the year:

- Safety remains one of our top priorities and is a core value. However, we are deeply saddened to report that we
had four work-related fatalities and six high severity injuries this year. An incident, which resulted in the tragic
death of an employee, was investigated as a fatality and the harm was determined to have been self-inflicted.
The main learnings from this investigation were taken on board and implemented. Our thoughts remain with the
families of our employees who have lost their lives in Sasol's service this year.

A senior executive safety workshop was conducted as a necessary intervention to evaluate industry best
practices and strengthen the standardised approach to prevent fatalities and high severity injuries across the
group. Four focus areas were identified which will form the basis of our safety programme for the next financial
year. Our 12 month rolling Recordable Case Rate for employees and service providers, excluding illnesses,
improved to 0,27, our lowest level ever recorded. We believe our focused programme will also improve our injury
rate.

- During the year, we invested R2 billion in skills development and socio-economic development, which includes
our Ikusasa programme, bursaries, learnerships and artisan training programmes. The Ikusasa programme
focuses on education, health and wellbeing, infrastructure, and safety and security in the Secunda and
Sasolburg regions.

- This year saw the publication of the draft Carbon Tax and Climate Change Bills, both of which are expected to be
implemented during the course of 2019. Sasol is supportive of the "Just Transition" campaign where a holistic
approach is taken to achieving a lower carbon economy. Sasol continues to constructively engage with
government on both these critical pieces of legislation. Further, we are progressing transparency around our
climate change management, aligned with international initiatives, such as the Task Force for Climate Related
Financial Disclosure requirements. Ongoing engagements with key stakeholders inform the robustness of our
journey.

- Our total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for all operations globally is slightly lower at 67,43 million tons for
2018 when compared to 67,68 million tons in the prior year. Our GHG emissions intensity (measured in carbon
dioxide equivalent per ton of production) is higher at 3,78 compared to 3,66 in 2017. This is due to lower
production levels in Secunda as a result of production interruptions.

- Sasol supports the objective of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (NEMAQA) to
contribute to an environment that is not harmful to human health or wellbeing. We regularly engage with the
Department of Environmental Affairs on this to achieve a sustainable regulatory framework to support
meaningful improvements in ambient air quality.

- While most of Sasol's processes will be able to comply with new plant Minimum Emission Standards by 2025,
there are selected activities that will not. For these specific cases, Sasol relies on applications for postponement
of the applicable compliance timeframes as we continue to investigate technical solutions that will ensure
compliance. In support, we are progressing the implementation of our committed air quality roadmaps.

- The Sasol Group Energy Intensity index (EIi) improved from the 2015 baseline by 6,03% against our internal
target of 3% (1% per year). Our South African Operation's EIi for 2018 is 6,62% and has essentially remained
unchanged from the previous year mainly due to unplanned electricity supply outages resulting in frequent
plant interruptions at our South African operations.

- During the year, we paid R39,5 billion in direct and indirect taxes to the South African government. Sasol
remains one of the largest corporate taxpayers in South Africa, contributing significantly to the country's
economy.

- During 2018, Sasol made good progress in terms of Preferential Procurement which resulted in actual spend
with black owned suppliers increasing by R5,2 billion to R12,7 billion from the prior year.

- Sasol is committed to sustainable transformation and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). In
our recent B-BBEE verification, Sasol achieved a Level 6 contributor status representing a key milestone in our
journey of achieving at least a Level 4 contributor status by 2020.

Unwinding of Inzalo B-BBEE transaction

As announced on 26 June 2018, Sasol settled the Sasol Inzalo Groups preference share debt of approximately
R4,6 billion in June 2018 by utilising existing cash to repurchase up to 9,5 million preferred ordinary shares from
Sasol Inzalo Groups Funding (Pty) Ltd (RF) at a 30 day, volume weighted average price (VWAP) of R475,03, and funded the
residual shortfall on the third party debt of R59 million. The Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) debt becomes
due in September 2018. The Board has approved that Sasol settle the Sasol Inzalo Public debt in the same manner as
Sasol Inzalo Groups so as to limit dilution on our shareholders, while maintaining investment grade ratings by utilising
existing cash or credit facilities to repurchase 16,1 million preferred ordinary shares from
Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF). Based on Sasol's current share price and the forecast debt balances, there could
be residual value, after settlement of third party debt, which will be distributed to Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF)
ordinary shareholders.

Business performance outlook* - strong production performance and cost
reductions to continue

The current economic climate continues to remain highly volatile and uncertain. While oil price and foreign
exchange movements are outside our control and may impact our results, our focus remains firmly on managing
factors within our control, including volume growth, cost optimisation, effective capital allocation, focused financial
risk management and maintaining an investment grade credit rating.

We expect an overall strong operational performance for 2019, with:

- SSO volumes of between 7,6 to 7,7 million tons impacted by a planned full shutdown in 2019;

- Liquid fuels sales of approximately 57 to 58 million barrels due to a planned full shutdown at SSO;

- Base Chemicals sales volumes, excluding US produced products, to be 2%-3% higher than the prior year, with
US dollar product pricing expected to follow Brent crude oil prices. Our US HDPE plant will contribute for the full
year, while LCCP is expected to start contributing during the second half of the year.

- Performance Chemicals sales volumes to be 2%-4% higher, excluding the LCCP;

- Gas production volumes from the Petroleum Production Agreement in Mozambique to be between 114 bscf to
118 bscf;

Competition law compliance

In 2012, the South African Competition Commission referred allegations of price-fixing and market division against
various petroleum products producers, including Sasol to the Competition Tribunal. Sasol and the other companies
involved settled the matter with the Competition Commission on a no fine and no admission of guilt basis and
provided undertakings regarding future exchange of information within the industry. The application for
confirmation of the settlement agreement was heard before the Competition Tribunal on 7 February 2018. On 3 May
2018, the Competition Tribunal approved the settlement agreement. This effectively closed the investigations with
no penalty imposed on Sasol.

Tax litigation and contingency

As previously reported, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) issued revised assessments for Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd
(Sasol Oil) relating to a dispute around our international crude oil procurement activities for the 2005 to 2012 tax
years. Sasol Oil has co-operated fully with SARS during the course of the audit related to these assessments.

The litigation process in the Tax Court, relating to the international crude oil procurement activities for the 2005 to
2007 years of assessment, was concluded and judgement was delivered on 30 June 2017 in favour of SARS. As a
result, a liability of R1,3 billion has been recognised in the prior year financial statements in respect of the 2005 to
2014 matters that remain the subject of the ongoing litigation. Sasol Oil, in consultation with its tax and legal
advisors, does not support the basis of the judgement and filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
The SCA hearing will take place on 21 August 2018, and it is anticipated that the judgement will likely be delivered
within a few months thereafter.

SARS has notified Sasol Oil of its intention to place on hold the field audit relating to this issue for the 1999 to 2004
tax years pending the outcome of the litigation. As a result of the judgement handed down on 30 June 2017, a
possible obligation may arise from the field audit, which is regarded as a contingent liability.

In addition, there could be a potential tax exposure of R12,6 billion for the periods 2013 to 2014 on varying tax
principles relating to the aforementioned activities, which remains the subject of an appeal. Supported by specialist
tax and legal advisors, Sasol Oil disagrees with SARS' additional assessments for the 2013 and 2014 periods and has
filed an appeal in the Tax Court, which has been suspended, pending the decision of the SCA. A possible obligation
may arise for the tax years subsequent to 2014, which could give rise to a future contingent liability also depending
to a degree on the outcome of the SCA hearing. SARS' decision to suspend the payment of this disputed tax for the
periods 2005 to 2014 currently remains in force.

In 2010, SARS commenced with a request for information in respect of Sasol Financing International Plc (SFI). This
matter progressed to an audit over the years and has now culminated in SARS issuing a final audit letter on
16 February 2018. Consequently, assessments were issued in respect of the 2002 to 2012 tax years. SARS argues
that the place of effective management of SFI, an offshore treasury function, was South Africa. This approach could
result in potential tax exposure of R3,1 billion (including interest and penalties as at 30 June 2018). SFI has co-
operated fully with SARS during the course of the audit related to these assessments. SFI, in consultation with its
tax and legal advisors, does not support the basis of these additional assessments for all the years. Accordingly, SFI
lodged objections and will submit appeals (as the case may be) to the assessments as the legal process unfolds.
SARS' decision to suspend the payment of this disputed tax for the periods 2002 to 2012 currently remains in force.
Sasol is committed to compliance with tax laws and any disputes with tax authorities on the interpretation of tax
laws and regulations will be addressed in a transparent and constructive manner.

Change in directors

Ms MBN Dube was appointed as an independent director with effect from 1 April 2018 and Mr HG Dijkgraaf retired
as an independent director on 30 April 2018. Mr MJN Njeke was appointed as the lead independent director with
effect from 30 April 2018.

Declaration of cash dividend number 78

A final gross cash dividend of South African 790 cents per share (30 June 2017 - 780 cents per ordinary share) has
been declared for the year ended 30 June 2018. The cash dividend is payable on the ordinary shares and the Sasol
BEE ordinary shares. The Board is satisfied that the liquidity and solvency of the company, as well as capital adequacy
remaining after payment of the dividend is sufficient to support the current operations for the ensuing year. The
dividend has been declared out of retained earnings (income reserves). The South African dividend withholding tax
rate is 20%. At the declaration date, there are 623 081 550 ordinary, 16 085 199 preferred ordinary and 6 394 179
Sasol BEE ordinary shares in issue. The net dividend amount payable to shareholders who are not exempt from the
dividend withholding tax, is 632 cents per share, while the dividend amount payable to shareholders who are
exempt from dividend withholding tax is 790 cents per share.

The salient dates for holders of ordinary shares and Sasol BEE ordinary shares are:

Basis of preparation

The summarised consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the JSE Limited's (JSE) Listings
Requirements for summary financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to
summary financial statements. The JSE requires summary financial statements to be prepared in accordance with
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides
as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial
Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34, Interim
Financial Reporting.

The summarised consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosure required for complete annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These summarised consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historic cost
convention except that certain items, including derivative instruments, liabilities for cash-settled share-based
payment schemes, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets, are
stated at fair value.

The summarised consolidated financial statements are presented in South African rand, which is Sasol Limited's
functional and presentation currency. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these summarised
consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the consolidated
annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The summarised consolidated financial statements appearing in this announcement are the responsibility of the
directors. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the summarised consolidated financial
statements. Paul Victor CA(SA), Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for this set of summarised consolidated
financial statements and has supervised the preparation thereof in conjunction with the Senior Vice President:
Financial Control Services, Brenda Baijnath CA(SA).

Pro-forma financial information

Core headline earnings and US dollar convenience translations included in this announcement constitutes pro-
forma financial information.

The pro-forma financial information is the responsibility of the board of directors and is presented for illustrative
purposes only. Because of its nature, the pro-forma financial information may not fairly present Sasol's financial
position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flows. The underlying information, used in the preparation
of the pro-forma financial information, has been prepared using accounting policies which comply with IFRS and
are consistent with those applied in the published group consolidated annual financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2018.

This pro-forma information has been reported on by the group's auditors, being PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. Their
unqualified reporting accountant's report thereon is available for inspection at the company's registered address.

Related party transactions

The group, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various sale and purchase transactions on an arm's
length basis at market rates with related parties.

Subsequent events
The Sasol Limited Board approved that Sasol repurchase the shares from Inzalo Public Funding Limited (RF) in
September 2018 and settle the outstanding debt of R7,4 billion and a cash top-up for value realised of approximately
R 600 million in September 2018, assuming a shape price of R500. This will then conclude the unwinding of the
Sasol Inzalo transaction.

Financial instruments

Fair value

Fair value is determined using valuation techniques as outlined unless the instrument is listed in an active market.
Where possible, inputs are based on quoted prices and other market determined variables.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below represents significant financial instruments measured at fair value at reporting date, or for which
fair value is disclosed at 30 June 2018. The US dollar bond, the interest rate swap, the crude oil put options, the
zero-cost foreign exchange collars and the coal swaps were considered to be significant financial instruments for
the group based on the amounts recognised in the statement of financial position. The calculation of fair value
requires various inputs into the valuation methodologies used. The source of the inputs used affects the reliability
and accuracy of the valuations. Financial instruments have been classified into the hierarchical levels in line with
IFRS 13.

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (directly or indirectly).
Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are unobservable.

Forward-looking statements

Sasol may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information which
are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our
future prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return, executing our
growth projects (including LCCP) oil and gas reserves and cost reductions, including in connection with our Business Performance
Enhancement Programme, Response Plan, Continuous Improvement programme and our business performance outlook. Words such as
"believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour", "target", "forecast", "project" and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks
that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks
materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. You
should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives,
expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward looking statements. These factors are discussed more fully in our
most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed on 28 August 2017 and in other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking statements to make investment
decisions, you should carefully consider both these factors and other uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements apply only
as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
