HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110), a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, has released its audited financial figures for fiscal year 2025, confirming significant earnings growth. The company reported EBITDA of EUR 60.1 million, tripling from EUR 20.1 million in the previous year, while net profit increased more than fourfold to EUR 54.8 million from EUR 13.2 million. These results include positive one-time valuation effects of approximately EUR 37 million from the transition to IFRS, particularly 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 due to lower commodity prices. However, the company anticipates a strong rebound in the current fiscal year, forecasting group 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 the consolidation of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Excluding this special effect, adjusted EBITDA is expected to rise from EUR 23.1 million in 2025 to EUR 35 million in 2026.
The company made key strategic decisions in 2025 to expand into liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading, positioning itself as a fully integrated commodity house along the entire value chain. These moves are expected to drive further growth beyond coal trading. The full annual report for 2025 is available on the company's website at www.hms-ag.com in the Investor Relations section.
