HMS Bergbau AG Reports Record First-Half 2026 Revenue and EBITDA, Schedules Investor Webcast

HMS Bergbau AG, a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, has announced substantial financial growth for the first half of 2026. The company reported a sharp increase in revenue from EUR 0.64 billion to EUR 1.1 billion under IFRS, while EBITDA including one-off items rose from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million. These figures highlight the company's expanding scale and operational leverage in global commodity markets.

The earnings boost was partly attributed to one-off items totaling EUR 8.4 million stemming from the first-time consolidation of the mining company Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for these effects, operating EBITDA stood at EUR 14.1 million, still a significant improvement over the prior-year period. The growth was primarily fueled by HMS's traditional bulk commodities business and its liquid fuels and lubricants segment, which was established in 2025. This diversification strategy appears to be paying off, as both segments contributed positive momentum.

Investors and media representatives are invited to a video conference with the Management Board on 8 October 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CET. CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will present the half-year financial ratios and provide updates on current developments within the company. A Q&A session will follow the presentation. The event will be conducted in German, and participants must register in advance via the provided link: https://www.appairtime.com/event/848c0200-5981-4c96-af69-34d6e5dfd22c.

The full 2026 half-year report is available for download on the company's website, www.hms-ag.com, under the Investor Relations section. This disclosure provides stakeholders with detailed insights into HMS's financial health and strategic direction.

The significance of these results extends beyond the numbers. HMS Bergbau AG operates in a competitive global commodities landscape, and its ability to nearly double revenue year-over-year demonstrates resilience and effective execution. The integration of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid marks a strategic move into mining production, which could secure supply chains and enhance margins in the long term. Furthermore, the successful launch of the liquid fuels and lubricants business in 2025 shows the company's capacity to innovate and capture new market opportunities.

For investors, the upcoming webcast offers a direct channel to engage with management and clarify the sustainability of these gains. The one-off items, while boosting reported EBITDA, may raise questions about underlying performance; however, the adjusted operating EBITDA of EUR 14.1 million still represents robust growth. As global demand for commodities evolves, HMS's diversified portfolio and international footprint position it well to navigate potential volatility.
