Whitehaven Coal Limited is an Australian company primarily engaged in the development and operation of coal mines in Queensland and New South Wales, focusing on both thermal and metallurgical coal production.
In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, Whitehaven Coal Limited reported a significant increase in revenue and net profit after tax, with revenue rising by 53% to $5,832 million and net profit after tax increasing by 83% to $649 million. This growth was largely driven by the first full year of benefits from the acquisition of metallurgical coal assets in Queensland, which contributed to a 55% increase in coal sales.
Key financial highlights include a 60% increase in ROM coal production to 39.1 million tonnes and a 61% rise in sales of produced coal. Despite a 6% decrease in the average coal price, the company’s diversified portfolio and cost management strategies helped maintain strong financial performance. The company also completed a significant transaction, selling a 30% interest in the Blackwater coal mine, further strengthening its balance sheet.
Looking ahead, Whitehaven Coal Limited remains focused on cost reduction, productivity improvement, and optimizing cash flows. The company anticipates Group ROM coal production for FY26 to be in the range of 37.0 to 41.0 million tonnes, with continued emphasis on delivering the benefits of its Queensland acquisition. Market dynamics suggest stable demand for Whitehaven’s coal products, with long-term offtake arrangements providing resilience against market fluctuations.
