HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110) has published its audited financial figures for the fiscal year 2025, confirming significant earnings growth. The company reported an EBITDA of EUR 60.1 million, tripling the previous year’s EUR 20.1 million, and net income surged more than fourfold to EUR 54.8 million from EUR 13.2 million. These results 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 decreased to EUR 1.22 billion from EUR 1.36 billion due to lower commodity prices. However, the company expects a strong rebound in 2026, with projected group sales of EUR 2 billion and an EBITDA of EUR 55 million. This includes a one-time valuation effect of about EUR 20 million from consolidating Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for this, EBITDA is expected to rise from EUR 23.1 million in 2025 to EUR 35 million in 2026.
HMS Bergbau AG has made strategic decisions to expand into liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading, positioning itself as a fully integrated commodity house. The company’s growth strategy extends beyond coal trading along the entire value chain. 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 will be held on 6 July 2026 at 3:00 p.m. (CET), featuring CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir. Registration is available via this link. The company also announced the suspension of its current bond issuance due to market conditions in the mid-cap bond market, but remains in close contact with investors.
The strong financial performance and strategic initiatives underscore HMS Bergbau AG's transformation into a diversified commodity player. With operations spanning Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, the company is well-positioned for continued growth. The outlook for 2026 reflects confidence in further revenue and profit increases, driven by the expanded business activities.
