HMS Bergbau AG Reports Tripled EBITDA and Fourfold Net Profit Increase for Fiscal Year 2025, Sets Ambitious 2026 Growth Targets

HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110), a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, has published its audited financial figures for the fiscal year 2025, confirming preliminary results released on 14 April 2026. The company reported a significant increase in earnings, with EBITDA tripling to €60.1 million from €20.1 million in the previous year, and net profit surging more than fourfold to €54.8 million from €13.2 million. These figures were prepared for the first time under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which introduced positive one-time valuation effects of approximately €37 million, primarily from the initial consolidation of Maatla Resources (Pty.) Ltd., a coal mine in Botswana.

Group sales declined from €1.36 billion to €1.22 billion due to lower commodity prices. However, the company's strategic decisions in 2025, including expansion into liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading, have positioned HMS as a fully integrated commodity house. For the current fiscal year 2026, HMS expects group sales of €2 billion and an EBITDA of €55 million, which includes a one-time valuation effect of about €20 million from the initial consolidation of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for this special effect, EBITDA is projected to increase from €23.1 million in 2025 to €35 million in 2026.

The full annual report for 2025 is available on the company's website at www.hms-ag.com in the Investor Relations section. HMS Bergbau AG invites investors and media representatives to a video conference on 6 July 2026 at 3:00 p.m. (CET), where CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will present the financial ratios and outlook. Registration is available via this link. Additionally, the company has suspended its current bond issuance due to market conditions but remains in close contact with investors.

These results underscore HMS Bergbau's transformation from a coal-focused trader to a diversified commodity group with interests in production and trading across multiple sectors. The strong earnings growth and optimistic 2026 forecast signal confidence in the company's strategic direction and its ability to navigate volatile commodity markets. The IFRS transition has also provided a clearer picture of the company's financial health, with one-time gains from mine consolidations highlighting the value of its asset acquisitions.
