HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110) has published its audited financial figures for fiscal year 2025, confirming a significant earnings growth. The EBITDA tripled to EUR 60.1 million, up from EUR 20.1 million in the previous year, while net profit increased more than fourfold to EUR 54.8 million, compared to EUR 13.2 million. These figures, prepared for the first time under IFRS, include positive one-time valuation effects of approximately EUR 37 million from the transition, particularly from the initial consolidation of Maatla Resources (Pty.) Ltd., a coal mine in Botswana.
Group sales decreased from EUR 1.36 billion to EUR 1.22 billion due to lower commodity prices. For fiscal year 2026, the company expects group sales of EUR 2 billion and an EBITDA of EUR 55 million, which includes a one-time valuation effect of about EUR 20 million from the consolidation of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for this special effect, EBITDA is anticipated to rise from EUR 23.1 million in 2025 to EUR 35 million in 2026.
HMS Bergbau has made key strategic decisions to enable further growth, expanding into liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading. These moves position the company as a fully integrated, internationally oriented commodity house along the entire value chain, beyond coal trading. The full annual report for 2025 is available for download on the company's website at www.hms-ag.com in the Investor Relations section.
The company will hold a webcast on 6 July 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CET, where CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will present the financial results and outlook. Registration is available via this link. HMS also announced the suspension of its current bond issuance due to market conditions in the mid-cap bond market, though it remains in close contact with investors.
