Vale reports Q1 pro forma EBITDA $3.21B vs $3.5B last year

Reports Q1 revenue $8.12B, consensus $8.16B. “We had a consistent start to the year, aligned with our objectives for 2025. We are seeing good momentum in cost management, with our C1 reaching US$ 21/t in Q1, continuing the year-on-year downward trajectory. Our value-accretive projects continue to progress, being essential elements towards enhancing our portfolio flexibility and improving operational and cost efficiency. At Vale (VALE) Base Metals, the benefits of the Asset Review initiatives are emerging and we are laser-focused on delivering. Additionally, we have been consistently optimizing our balance sheet through asset-light solutions, such as the transaction that created the strategic joint venture at Alianca Energia, which will also help us deliver on our long term decarbonization goals. The current macroeconomic environment and market volatility reinforce the importance of our Vale 2030 strategy, whereby we are building an even more competitive company that can thrive in any market condition. With this approach, I’m confident we’ll generate significant value for all of our stakeholders,” commented Gustavo Pimenta, Chief Executive Officer
