Additional information Independent Auditor's Review Report On Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

To the Shareholders of Gold Fields Limited

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields Limited, set out on Income Statement to All-in Sustaining Costs and All-in Cost Gross of By-product Credits per Equivalent Ounce of Gold Sold (Unreviewed) of the preliminary report, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 and the related condensed consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and selected explanatory notes.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standard, (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from  material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. ISRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This standard also requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.

A review of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluate the evidence obtained.

The procedures in a review are substantially less and differ in nature from those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard, (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

Other matter

Unless stated otherwise, we have not reviewed future financial performance and expectations, guidance provided, non-IFRS measures, including adjusted or normalised financial information, production and sales volumes, yields, all-in sustaining costs, total all-in costs, other non-financial information, and information not required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, expressed by the directors in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accordingly do not express a conclusion thereon as part of this review.

Report on the Assurance Engagement on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information included in the Gold Fields 2021 Results Media Release

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation and presentation of certain non-IFRS financial measures of Gold Fields Limited (the "Company") by the directors, which information constitutes pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements. The pro forma financial information, in the Gold Fields 2021 Media Release reviewed results for the year ended 31 December 2021 which incorporates the preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements for the year then ended (the "media release"), consist of normalised profit attributable to owners of the parent, normalised profit per share attributable to owners of the parent, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow margin for LTIP purposes, all-in sustaining costs and total all-in cost, net debt (including and excluding lease liabilities), sustaining capital expenditure, non-sustaining capital expenditure, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow from operations. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the media release.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors for the following purpose:

• normalised profit attributable to owners of the parent and normalised profit per share attributable to owners of the parent is considered an important measure by the Company of the profit realised in the ordinary course of business. In addition, it forms the basis of the dividend pay-out policy;
• adjusted EBITDA is required to be determined in terms of loan and revolving credit facilities agreements to evaluate compliance with debt covenants;
• adjusted free cash flow margin for LTIP purposes is used as a key metric in the determination of the long-term incentive plan;
• adjusted free cash flow from operations is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less net capital expenditure, environmental payments and lease payments from the eight mining operations and is used to monitor cash flow from the operations;
• all-in sustaining costs and total all-in cost are presented to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold and is a common measure presented within the mining industry;
• sustaining capital expenditure represents the majority of capital expenditures at existing operations, including mine development costs, ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities and other capital expenditures at existing operations;
• non-sustaining capital expenditure represents capital expenditures for major growth projects as well as enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations;
• net debt (including and excluding lease liabilities) is used in the ratio to monitor the capital of the group; and
• adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less net capital expenditure, environmental payments, lease payments and redemption of Asanko preference shares and is considered a relevant measure by the Company.

As part of this process, information about the Company’s financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the directors from the Company’s preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, on which a review report has been published.

Directors' responsibility

The directors of the Company are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the media release.

Our independence and quality control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors, issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’ (IRBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards).

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and, accordingly, maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the media release based on our procedures performed.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the company as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
• The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on our judgment, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the Company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

Our engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria specified by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the media release.
