Anglo American is a leading global mining company, primarily engaged in the production of copper, iron ore, and crop nutrients, with a focus on transforming into a higher-margin, more cash-generative business.
In its half-year 2025 financial report, Anglo American highlighted strong operational and cost performance, particularly in copper and iron ore, despite challenging conditions in the diamond market. The company reported an underlying EBITDA of $3.0 billion from continuing operations and achieved significant cost savings.
Key financial metrics showed a 20% decrease in underlying EBITDA compared to the previous year, primarily due to lower earnings from De Beers. The company also reported a net debt of $10.8 billion, with plans to strengthen its balance sheet through proceeds from divestments. Production volumes saw a decrease in copper and diamonds, while iron ore production increased slightly.
Anglo American’s strategic focus includes portfolio simplification, with successful demergers and sales agreements in place, and a commitment to sustainability goals, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage. The company is also advancing several growth projects in copper and iron ore.
Looking ahead, Anglo American’s management remains focused on executing its strategy to enhance shareholder value, with an emphasis on cost control, cash generation, and sustainable growth opportunities in its core commodities.
