Rana Gruber Holds Near-Record Output as High-Grade Shift Tempers Profit

Rana Gruber AS ( (DE:7XH) ) has provided an announcement.

Rana Gruber reported strong operational performance in 2025, with full-year production of 1.81 million tonnes near capacity and broadly stable costs, but revenues fell 5.9 per cent to NOK 1,565 million and net profit declined to NOK 301.9 million due to lower sales volumes and inventory build-up rather than weaker demand or pricing. The year was marked by a major upgrade in product quality towards 65 per cent Fe, completion of the Fe65 project, and the start of open-pit mining at Stensundtjern, reinforcing the company’s high-grade strategy, long-term industrial positioning, and operational resilience despite fourth-quarter disruptions and higher cash costs per tonne.

Fourth-quarter results showed reduced production of 428,000 tonnes, lower revenues of NOK 413 million, and a net profit of NOK 25.5 million, reflecting plant disruptions, temporary recovery effects from quality improvements, and shipment timing, while full-year cash costs remained tightly controlled at NOK 1,083 million. Management signals that, amid geopolitical uncertainty and uneven economic conditions, Rana Gruber will leverage its recent investments and organisational capabilities to sustain safe and stable operations, strict cost discipline, and consistent product quality as a basis for long-term value creation in its European markets.
