HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110), a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company, has published its audited financial figures for fiscal year 2025, confirming strong earnings growth. The company reported EBITDA of EUR 60.1 million, tripling the previous year's EUR 20.1 million, and net profit of EUR 54.8 million, more than four times the EUR 13.2 million reported in 2024. These figures were prepared for the first time under IFRS, which included positive one-time valuation effects of approximately EUR 37 million from the initial consolidation of Maatla Resources (Pty.) Ltd., a coal mine in Botswana.
Group sales declined to EUR 1.22 billion from EUR 1.36 billion, attributed to lower commodity prices. However, the company anticipates a significant rebound in 2026, with projected sales of EUR 2 billion and EBITDA of EUR 55 million. This outlook includes a one-time valuation effect of about EUR 20 million from consolidating Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Excluding this effect, EBITDA is expected to rise from EUR 23.1 million in 2025 to EUR 35 million in 2026.
HMS Bergbau has made key strategic decisions to fuel growth, expanding into liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading. These moves position the company as a fully integrated commodity house along the entire value chain, beyond its core coal trading business. The full annual report for 2025 is available on the company's website at www.hms-ag.com in the Investor Relations section.
An investor and media webcast is scheduled for 6 July 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CET, where CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will present the 2025 financial results and 2026 outlook. Registration is available via this link. The company also announced the suspension of its current bond issuance due to market conditions but remains in close contact with investors.
