Strong Full-Year EBITDA
Reported $13.5 billion adjusted EBITDA for FY2025; industrial adjusted EBITDA approximately $9.9–$10.0 billion and marketing adjusted EBIT $2.9 billion. Second half showed strong momentum vs H1 with half-on-half EBITDA up ~50%.
Robust Metals Performance (Copper & Zinc)
Copper and zinc were key drivers: copper had a very strong year (copper spot rose from ~$8,600 at the start of the year to ~$12,400 by year-end, ~44% spot increase year-to-date) and contributed materially to metals variance (~$1 billion contribution noted). Zinc contributed ~$0.8 billion to the metals uplift (zinc price noted rising from ~$3,000 to ~$3,300, ~10% increase).
Marketing Franchise Resilience
Marketing delivered $2.9 billion adjusted marketing EBIT, inside the new guidance range and materially higher like-for-like versus prior Viterra-adjusted reporting; trading strength driven by metal arbitrage and tight concentrate markets particularly in H2.
Operational Delivery and Reliability
Delivered production guidance across key commodities for the second consecutive year; management highlighted significantly improved operational execution and discipline with production momentum into 2026.
Portfolio Progress — Peru & DRC Unlocks
Acquired adjacent Quechua package near Antapaccay (adds significant optionality and extension potential); secured land package for KCC in the DRC enabling expansion to ~300,000 tpa copper and life extended into the 2040s; signed a non-binding MOU with U.S.-backed Orion/CMC to potentially realize value (~$9 billion EV cited for KCC + MUMI combined).
Argentina & North America Project Advancements
Progress on MARA and Pachon RIGI approvals (MARA expected in H1); Alumbrera restart work underway with first production targeted in 2028; NewRange (with Teck/AngloTeck) resource expanded by ~1 billion tonnes and 20–21 of 23 permits for phase 1 secured — project described as lower capital intensity and quicker to market versus peers.
Balance Sheet, Cash Returns and Liquidity
Declared $2.0 billion dividend; returned over $27 billion to shareholders since 2021. Net funding/debt levels moved back toward the ~$10 billion target; spot illustrative free cash flow generation and EBITDA showed strong upside (spot illustrative EBITDA cited above $18 billion and spot illustrative free cash flow around $7 billion).
Monetizations and Portfolio Simplification
Partial sale of Century Aluminum stake to recycle capital into higher IRR (targeting ~20%+ IRRs), sale of Pasar smelter and an underutilized Colombian port, and a disciplined approach to non-core capital allocation and potential monetization of Bunge stake as a surplus capital warehouse (~$4 billion mark-to-market value cited).
CapEx Discipline & Guidance Maintained
FY2025 net cash CapEx ~$6.9 billion with EVR and Kazzinc items noted; reiterated FY2026–2028 CapEx guidance (average ~ $6.5 billion p.a.) consistent with prior CMD and with clear project phasing for copper growth projects.
Safety & Long-Term Commitment
Company emphasized safety as top priority and noted trend improvement over time; management reiterated focus on operational excellence, organic growth, and shareholder value creation.
