TerraCom Swings to H1 Loss as Coal Prices Fall but Blair Athol Operations Stay Robust

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

TerraCom Limited ( (AU:TER) ) has issued an announcement.

TerraCom Limited reported an EBITDA loss of $7.0 million and a net loss after tax of $13.8 million for the first half of FY26, as lower benchmark thermal coal prices weighed on earnings despite solid operations at its Blair Athol mine. Average realised prices at Blair Athol fell 17% year on year, compressing per tonne margins even as the mine improved its relativity to the NEWC 6000 index and maintained tight cost control.

Operationally, Blair Athol delivered a 13% increase in sales volumes to 809 kilotonnes, with run-of-mine production broadly flat and FOB cash costs edging lower, underscoring the resilience of the asset in a weaker price environment. Management emphasised the flexibility of its owner-operator model, the stabilising effect of more repeat and term contract sales, and outlined strategic priorities to maximise value from Blair Athol, exit South Africa, and advance the Moorlands Project to strengthen the balance sheet and long-term shareholder returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:TER) stock is a Hold with a A$0.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on TerraCom Limited stock, see the AU:TER Stock Forecast page.
