Valterra Platinum, formerly known as Anglo American Platinum, is a leading company in the platinum group metals (PGM) mining sector, with operations spanning across South Africa and Zimbabwe. The company recently completed a demerger from Anglo American plc and has established a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange.
In its interim results for the first half of 2025, Valterra Platinum reported a challenging period marked by operational disruptions and strategic transitions. The company’s performance was significantly impacted by severe flooding at the Amandelbult mine, which led to a substantial decline in production and financial metrics. Despite these setbacks, Valterra Platinum successfully completed its demerger and maintained a strong balance sheet with liquidity headroom.
Key financial metrics for the period showed a decline, with net revenue down 19% to R42.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA falling 46% to R6.6 billion. The company’s headline earnings per share plummeted by 81% to 473 cents, while the dividend per share was reduced to 200 cents. However, the company achieved R2.1 billion in cost savings and remains on track to meet its full-year target.
Looking forward, Valterra Platinum aims to recover production levels in the second half of the year, particularly at the Amandelbult mine. The company is focused on operational excellence and cost management to sustain its competitive position in the PGM sector. Management remains optimistic about achieving its strategic goals and delivering value to shareholders through disciplined capital allocation and sustainable production practices.
