BlueScope Steel Limited is a global leader in metal coating and painting for the building and construction industries, primarily operating in the Asia-Pacific region with a diverse portfolio of branded steel products. In its FY2025 earnings report, BlueScope Steel faced a challenging year with a 45% decrease in underlying EBIT to $738 million and a 90% drop in reported NPAT to $84 million, attributed to cyclically soft conditions and global volatility. Despite these challenges, the company maintained a robust balance sheet with $28 million net debt and returned $293 million to shareholders through dividends and buy-backs. BlueScope’s strategic focus on cost and productivity improvements, along with significant investments in decarbonisation and capital projects, aims to drive future growth and achieve $500 million in annual earnings growth by 2030. Looking ahead, BlueScope remains confident in its multi-domestic strategy and expects underlying EBIT for 1H FY2026 to be in the range of $550 million to $620 million, supported by signs of recovery in key markets.
