HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110), a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, today released its audited financial results for the fiscal year 2025. The final figures largely confirm the preliminary results announced on 14 April 2026. Prepared for the first time in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the 2025 key figures show limited comparability with the prior year.
EBITDA reached EUR 60.1 million, up from EUR 20.1 million in the previous year, and exceeded the preliminary figure of EUR 59.4 million. Positive one-time valuation effects of approximately EUR 37 million resulted from the transition to IFRS, particularly from the initial consolidation of Maatla Resources (Pty.) Ltd., a coal mine in operation in Botswana. Net income for the year was EUR 54.8 million, compared to EUR 13.2 million in 2024. Group sales decreased from EUR 1.36 billion to EUR 1.22 billion due to lower commodity prices.
For the current fiscal year 2026, HMS expects group sales of EUR 2 billion and an EBITDA of EUR 55 million. This includes a one-time valuation effect of approximately EUR 20 million from the initial consolidation of the mining company Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for this special effect, EBITDA is expected to increase from EUR 23.1 million in 2025 to EUR 35 million in 2026.
HMS sees itself well-positioned for further growth. In 2025, the company made significant strategic decisions by expanding its business activities in liquid fuels, raw material production, and traditional trading. These efforts have laid important groundwork and positioned the company as a fully integrated, internationally oriented commodity house along the entire value chain, beyond coal trading.
