Berlin, 30 September 2025: HMS Bergbau AG (ISIN: DE0006061104, WKN: 606110), a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company from Germany, recorded a good performance in the first half of 2025 despite the continuing challenging macroeconomic environment. The first half of the year was marked by global uncertainties, inflationary pressures and declining commodity prices compared with the prior-year period. Nevertheless, in 1H 2025 HMS succeeded in increasing EBITDA by around 5%, from EUR 7.9 million to EUR 8.3 million, despite a sales decline driven primarily by price effects from EUR 731.4 million to EUR 643.0 million, while at the same time improving the EBITDA margin. Half-year net profit amounted to EUR 5.8 million (PY: EUR 5.5 million). Following the successful placement of the new 2025/2030 corporate bond in June 2025, HMS Bergbau will use the additional funds to support the planned expansion of its operating business in the second half of the year. The company continues to expect to achieve its full-year forecast for 2025. HMS Bergbau anticipates sales of around EUR 1.5 billion and EBITDA of approximately EUR 20 million.

During the reporting period, HMS Bergbau initiated further strategic measures to secure the company’s long-term growth and consistently advanced the implementation of its diversification strategy. The company is increasingly evolving from being primarily a coal trader into an internationally positioned more diversified commodities trading and marketing group. After the close of the reporting period, its activities in oil products and liquid fuels have been further strengthened in the third quarter of 2025, significantly expanding its trading operations, amongst others, in marine fuels, diesel and gasoline, liquefied natural gas, naphtha, and lubricants. In addition, HMS Bergbau plans to further expand its activities along the value chain. Among other things, coal products and other commodities are not only to be traded, but also mined, processed, and marketed by the company itself.
