Anglo American Interim Results 2025

Copper and iron ore lead strong operational and cost performance

• Portfolio simplification: successful demerger of Valterra Platinum unlocked significant value for shareholders; steelmaking coal and nickel sales agreed; and De Beers in process

• Strong production and cost performance: EBITDA margins of 48% in copper and 44% in premium iron ore

• Underlying EBITDA* of $3.0 billion from continuing operations, reflecting challenging rough diamond trading conditions

• On track to deliver committed $1.8 billion of cost savings: $1.3 billion realised by the end of June 2025

• Strong cash conversion* at 108%, with further reductions in working capital delivered

• Net debt* of $10.8 billion, prior to receipt of majority of portfolio simplification proceeds

• $0.1 billion interim dividend, equal to $0.07 per share, consistent with our 40% payout policy, reflecting negative earnings from discontinued operations and lack of contribution from De Beers

Note: Continuing operations includes Anglo American's future portfolio and De Beers, per accounting requirements; discontinued operations includes the Platinum, Steelmaking Coal and Nickel businesses.

Duncan Wanblad, CEO of Anglo American, said: "We are delivering on our strategy, transforming Anglo American into a higher margin, more cash generative and more valuable mining company. By focusing on our exceptional copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients resource endowments, each with significant value-accretive growth options, we are unlocking material value for our shareholders by delivering the see-through value of our portfolio, in which we expect copper to account for more than 60% of EBITDA.

"Safety is our number one value and always our first priority. We continue to make progress towards our goal of zero harm, with a further major improvement in the first half on what was our lowest-ever injury rate in 2024. I am, though, sorry to report the loss of two colleagues following accidents in Brazil and Zimbabwe. We are unconditional in our commitment to safety and we extend our heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.

"I am delighted that the first half saw our continued strong operational and cost performance in copper and iron ore, coupled with further momentum towards our committed $1.8 billion of cost savings. Group underlying EBITDA of $3.0 billion from continuing operations reflects this focus on cost discipline, despite the challenging rough diamond market conditions. While 2025 is very much a year of transition, we maintained a strong EBITDA margin for our go-forward business at 43% (consistent with the prior period, on a pro forma basis(1)), compared with our current overall margin position of 32% from continuing operations (2024: 37%).

"We have made further good progress towards our simplified portfolio. In May, we completed the demerger of the majority of our interest in Valterra Platinum to our shareholders and we expect to monetise our residual 19.9% interest - currently valued at $2.6 billion - responsibly over time. We are also continuing to progress the agreed steelmaking coal and nickel business sale transactions. We expect a material strengthening of our balance sheet flexibility upon receipt of proceeds from these transactions. The work to separate De Beers is well under way, with action taken to strengthen cash flow as we position De Beers for long-term success and value realisation.

"Our clear and decisive actions are transforming Anglo American into a highly attractive and differentiated value proposition for the long term, offering strong cash generation to support sustainable shareholder returns combined with the capabilities and longstanding relationship networks to deliver our full value and growth potential."

Continuing operations

Production volumes decreased by 9% on a copper equivalent basis, reflecting lower production at Copper Chile and De Beers.

Copper production decreased by 13% versus the prior period. At Copper Chile, anticipated lower grades, lower copper recoveries and temporary water supply constraints impacted Collahuasi, and the planned closure of the smaller Los Bronces processing plant in July 2024 impacted production at Los Bronces versus H1 2024. This was partly offset by a 6% increase in production at Copper Peru resulting from strong plant stability and higher grades.

Iron ore production increased by 2% driven by a 7% increase at Minas-Rio which was underpinned by improved mass recovery. This was partly offset by a 1% decrease at Kumba Iron Ore, facilitating the proactive drawdown of on-mine stockpiles.

Manganese production decreased by 4% reflecting the temporary suspension of the Australian operations since March 2024 as a result of the impact of tropical cyclone Megan.

At De Beers, the continued production response to the prolonged period of lower demand and higher than normal levels of inventory in the midstream impacted production in the period.

Group unit costs increased by 3% on a copper equivalent basis driven by the impact of lower production at Copper Chile and increased inflationary pressures. Excluding negligible foreign exchange impacts, unit costs also increased by 3%.

Discontinued operations

For operational information on each Business' production and unit cost performance, please refer to the following pages 29-30.

Financial performance

Continuing operations Underlying EBITDA* decreased by 20% to $3.0 billion largely driven by $0.5 billion lower earnings from De Beers due to continuing challenging trading conditions. Gross cost savings of $0.3 billion delivered in the rest of the continuing operations portfolio remain on track to realise $0.5 billion of cost reductions by the end of 2025 and supported EBITDA Margin* of 32% despite a 1% reduction in the Group basket price, lower sales volumes and the impact of inflation. As a consequence, continuing operations contributed $0.4 billion to total underlying earnings of $0.2 billion.

Despite lower earnings, management actions to support the release of $0.4 billion of working capital primarily through inventory management, as well as net proceeds on disposal of Jellinbah, ensured only a modest increase in net debt to $10.8 billion with deleveraging to benefit from future divestment proceeds.

Underlying EBITDA* - Continuing operations

Underlying EBITDA decreased by $0.7 billion to $3.0 billion (30 June 2024: $3.7 billion). Financial results were predominantly impacted by the challenging rough diamond trading conditions at De Beers, alongside lower sales at Copper Chile, driven by the lower production. Despite these pressures, cost reductions partly offset these impacts and supported an EBITDA margin* of 32% (30 June 2024: 37%). Our ongoing focus on cost control and cash generation has positioned us well as we execute our strategy. A reconciliation of 'Profit before net finance costs and tax', the closest equivalent IFRS measure to underlying EBITDA, is provided within note 4 to the Condensed financial statements.

Underlying EBITDA* reconciliation for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to six months ended 30 June 2025

The reconciliation of underlying EBITDA from $3.7 billion in 2024 to $3.0 billion in 2025 shows the major controllable factors (e.g. cost and volume), as well as those outside of management control (e.g. price, foreign exchange and inflation), that drive the Group's performance.

H1 2025 underlying EBITDA*

3.0

De Beers

Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenged in the first half of 2025 resulting in a reduction in the rough price index, alongside the stock rebalancing initiatives at De Beers and including the impact of a one-off benefit from the fair value uplift of a non-diamond royalty right in H1 2024 saw underlying EBITDA* contribution reduce by $0.5 billion.

Price

Excluding the impact of De Beers, average market prices for the Group's basket of products decreased by 1% compared with H1 2024. This was driven by a 4% reduction in the weighted average realised price for iron ore. This was partially offset by a 2% increase in the weighted average realised price for copper.

Foreign exchange

The Group's average foreign exchange rate basket was broadly in line with H1 2024, creating no period-on-period impact to underlying EBITDA. The favourable impact of the weaker Chilean peso and Brazilian real was offset by the stronger South African rand and Peruvian sol.

Inflation

The Group's weighted average CPI was 4% in 2025, broadly in line with the prior period. The impact of CPI inflation on costs reduced underlying EBITDA by $0.1 billion (30 June 2024: $0.3 billion).

Net cost and volume

Lower sales volumes impacted EBITDA by $0.2 billion, due to lower production at Copper Chile. This was partly offset by strong iron ore sales.

This was further offset by the realisation of savings delivered in 2024 seeing a gross $0.3 billion reduction in costs driven by lower headcount and mining costs at Kumba and lower overhead costs in Corporate partly offset by $0.1 billion of headwinds at Collahuasi. We are well on track to realise $0.5 billion of committed savings in 2025.

Other

The $0.1 billion unfavourable movement was driven by lower earnings at Manganese due to the suspension of operations following the tropical cyclone in March 2024.

 

Reconciliation from underlying EBITDA* to underlying earnings* - Continuing operations

Group underlying earnings decreased to $0.4 billion (30 June 2024: $0.9 billion), driven by lower underlying EBITDA, partly offset by lower income tax expense due to the lower earnings.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation was broadly in line at $1.1 billion (30 June 2024: $1.1 billion), as lower shipping rates and the impact of the impairment at De Beers in 2024 were offset by higher depreciation at Kumba from the reversal of an impairment at the end of 2024 and the capitalisation of Kapstevel South in June 2024, as well as Minas-Rio due to higher production and Copper Chile due to the capitalisation of material projects during the second half of 2024.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs, before special items and remeasurements, were broadly in line with the prior period at $0.3 billion (30 June 2024: $0.3 billion).

Income tax expense

The underlying effective tax rate was higher than the prior period at 48.7% (30 June 2024: 44.1%), impacted by the relative levels of profits arising in the Group's operating jurisdictions. The tax charge for the period, before special items and remeasurements, was $0.7 billion (30 June 2024: $1.0 billion).

Non-controlling interests

The share of underlying earnings attributable to non-controlling interests was flat at $0.4 billion (30 June 2024: $0.4 billion). Amounts principally relate to minority shareholdings in Iron Ore and Copper.

Underlying earnings from discontinued operations was significantly lower largely driven by lower purchases of concentrate and the impact of flooding at Amandelbult in Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), as well as the impact in Steelmaking Coal due to the suspension of Grosvenor from July 2024, the sale of Jellinbah at the end of 2024 and the underground incident at Moranbah in March 2025. Due to the lower earnings, tax and non-controlling interests were both consequently lower.

(4)Includes the purchase of shares (including for employee share schemes) of $40 million and other movements in lease liabilities (excluding variable vessel leases) increasing net debt by $26 million. 30 June 2024 Includes the purchase of shares (including for employee share schemes) of $99 million and other movements in lease liabilities (excluding variable vessel leases) increasing net debt by $165 million

(5)Includes cash received from the Jellinbah disposal of $870 million; finance leases included within held for sale at 30 June and thus excluded from net debt of $141m; offset by capital expenditure of $518 million; Valterra Platinum dividends paid to non-controlling interests of $297 million and the net debt impact of the demerger of Valterra Platinum of $151 million including tax and transaction costs. 30 June 2024 includes cash flows from discontinued operations of $1,117 million; partially offset by capital expenditure of $762 million and cash tax paid of $145 million.

 

Net debt (including related derivatives) of $10.8 billion has increased by $0.2 billion from 31 December 2024. Net debt at 30 June 2025 represented gearing (net debt to total capital) of 29% (31 December 2024: 27%). The net debt to EBITDA ratio increased to 1.8x (31 December 2024: 1.3x), as a result of the slightly higher net debt coupled with the lower underlying EBITDA. This is temporarily elevated as the portfolio transitions, with proceeds from expected divestments to be used to deleverage.

Cash flow

Cash flows from operations and Cash conversion* - Continuing operations

Cash flows from operations decreased to $3.3 billion (30 June 2024: $4.0 billion), reflecting the lower Underlying EBITDA from subsidiaries and joint operations and lower working capital inflow of $0.4 billion (30 June 2024: inflow of $0.7 million). An inventory inflow of $0.6 billion was partly offset by a $0.2 billion payables outflow.

These factors contributed to the Group's cash conversion increasing to 108% (30 June 2024: 93%).

(1) Comparative figures are re-presented to show separately results from discontinued operations, see note 22.

Capital expenditure was $0.5 billion lower compared to the prior period at $1.6 billion (30 June 2024: $2.1 billion).

Sustaining capital expenditure was lower at $1.3 billion (30 June 2024: $1.5 billion), primarily due to the Collahuasi desalinisation project spend reducing as it progresses towards completion in 2026.

Growth capital expenditure primarily relates to spend on the Woodsmith project (Crop Nutrients), the first phase of the Collahuasi debottlenecking initiative (Copper Chile) and the Kumba Ultra High Dense-Media-Separation (UHDMS) project (Iron Ore). Growth capital expenditure was lower at $0.3 billion (30 June 2024: $0.6 billion), due to the slow down in development of Woodsmith in the near term.

Attributable free cash flow* - Continuing operations

The Group's attributable free cash flow was $0.3 billion (30 June 2024: $0.2 billion). Despite lower cash flows from operations this period of $3.3 billion (30 June 2024: $4.0 billion) driven by lower earnings and a smaller working capital outflow, a reduction in total capex to $1.6 billion (30 June 2024: $2.1 billion) and cash tax to $0.6 billion (30 June 2024: $0.7 billion) fully offset this decrease.

Other movements in net debt - Continuing operations

In addition to the movements in attributable free cash flow, the total movement in net debt was impacted by dividends to Anglo American plc shareholders, acquisitions and disposals, foreign exchange and fair value movements and other net debt movements. The dividend paid to Anglo American plc shareholders reduced to$0.3 billion (30 June 2024: $0.5 billion), driven by a reduction in underlying earnings.

Shareholder returns

In line with the Group's established dividend policy to pay out 40% of underlying earnings, the Board has proposed an interim dividend of 40% of first half total underlying earnings, equal to $0.07 per share (30 June 2024: $0.42 per share), equivalent to $0.1 billion (30 June 2024: $0.5 billion).

Balance sheet

Net assets decreased by $3.0 billion to $25.6 billion (31 December 2024: $28.5 billion), driven principally by the demerger of the PGMs business, whereby net assets of $5.6 billion were demerged. This was partially offset by the recognition of a financial asset investment of $2.3 billion as at 30 June 2025 for the residual 19.9% holding in the PGMs business held at fair value.

Attributable ROCE* - Continuing operations

Attributable ROCE decreased to 9% (30 June 2024: 12%). Attributable underlying EBIT decreased to $2.0 billion(30 June 2024: $3.1 billion), reflecting the impact of lower underlying EBITDA. Average attributable capital employed decreased to $22.8 billion (2024: $25.6 billion), primarily due to the impact from the impairment recognised in the prior year at De Beers.

Liquidity and funding

Group liquidity was $12.0 billion (31 December 2024: $15.3 billion), comprising $5.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents (31 December 2024: $8.1 billion) and $6.2 billion of undrawn committed facilities (31 December 2024: $7.2 billion).

In March 2025, the Group partially bought back Euro and US dollar denominated bonds with maturities in 2027 and 2028. The Group used $1.0 billion of cash to retire $1.0 billion of contractual repayment obligations (including derivatives hedging the bonds).

Consequently, the weighted average maturity on the Group's bonds increased to 7.8 years (31 December 2024: 7.6 years).

Attractive growth options

Anglo American continues to evolve its portfolio of competitive, world-class assets towards those future-enabling products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving living standards, and supporting food security. In addition to these expansion opportunities, we also have value-accretive adjacencies in our portfolio where we expect significant value to be unlocked.

Debottlenecking investment in additional crushing capacity and flotation cells is expected to increase plant throughput from c.170 ktpd to c.185 ktpd, adding production of c.10 ktpa (44% share) on average from 2026.

 

Further investments in debottlenecking initiatives have been approved and are expected to expand the existing plant to the total permitted capacity of 210 ktpd and will add c.15 ktpa (44% share) of production from late 2027.

 

Beyond that, studies and permitting are required to be finalised for a fourth processing line in the plant and mine expansion that would add up to c.150 ktpa (44% share) of production from the early 2030s. The desalination plant that is currently under construction has been designed to accommodate capital efficient expansion in light of the growth potential at the asset.

Quellaveco

The plant throughput was initially permitted to a level of 127.5 ktpd and a change in legislation in June 2024 has increased the permit allowance from 5% to 10%, enabling throughput of up to c.140 ktpd.

 

In order to maximise throughput within the parameters of the current EIA permit, a rapid permit to increase throughput to 150 ktpd plus the 10% allowance was obtained in 2025. This provides added flexibility to design optimal throughput for the plant with limited configuration changes, subject to sectorial permits associated with the specific design and water availability.

 

In light of this, the stage one expansion has been approved and will increase throughput to c.142 ktpd by late 2026, involving installation of a second pebble crusher and additional floatation cells.

 

Efforts will continue to further debottleneck the plant, while conducting early studies to support Quellaveco's long-term expansion prospects.

Sakatti

Polymetallic greenfield project in Finland containing copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, silver and cobalt. The mine design has been updated to reflect the latest studies and production profile, expected to deliver 60-80 ktpa copper equivalent production from a state-of-the-art mine design with minimal surface footprint. The EIA was approved by the Finnish authorities in 2023 and we are progressing with work to augment existing studies in support of a Natura 2000 update.

Early 2030s

Los Bronces

A memorandum of understanding with Codelco was signed in February 2025 to implement a joint mine plan between Los Bronces and Andina, which is expected to contribute an additional c.60 ktpa copper equivalent production (average over 2030-2051).

 

Work is progressing towards a definitive agreement in H2 2025, with the joint mine plan expected to start from 2030.

 

The underground project will partly replace lower grade open-pit tonnes with higher grade underground tonnes. It is located 5 km from the existing pit and will use the same plant and tailings deposit capacity used by the current operation, without requiring any additional fresh water.

 

The underground development was permitted as part of the wider Los Bronces integrated project permit granted in 2023. Studies are under way with the aim being to develop a modern operation with minimal surface impact while maximising value delivery from the project.

 

Timing of the underground project is under review, dependent on the finalisation of the joint mine plan agreement with Codelco. The joint mine plan excludes the endowments related to Los Bronces underground.

 

Subject to definitive agreement, ongoing studies, permitting, and approvals.

Minas-Rio

The implementation of recleaner flotation columns to enable higher throughput while maintaining product quality. The average impact on production from the implementation of the recleaners from 2028 to 2040 is expected to be ~2.8 Mtpa.

 

The acquisition of the neighbouring Serpentina resource from Vale completed in Q4 2024. Serpentina is of a higher iron ore grade than Minas-Rio's ore and contains predominantly softer friable ore that together are expected to translate into lower unit costs and capital requirements.

 

The combination of Minas-Rio with the scale and quality of the Serpentina endowment provides a high value option to double Minas-Rio's production. Vale will also have an option to acquire an additional 15% shareholding in the enlarged Minas-Rio for cash (at fair value calculated at the time of exercise of the option), if and when certain events relating to a future expansion occur. Near-term access to the Serpentina ore as well as the potential future expansion are both subject to obtaining normal licences, which are expected to take a number of years.

The Group has optimised its technology programme, focusing only on those technologies that will bring the most benefit to the operating assets and development projects, as well as determining the most effective manner to execute these programmes. For more information on technology, please refer to our 2024 Integrated Annual Report, from page 62.

(1)Expenditure relating to technology projects is included within operating expenditure, or if it meets the accounting criteria for capitalisation, within Growth capital expenditure.

Sustainability performance

Sustainable Mining Plan

Anglo American's longstanding and holistic approach to sustainability helps to build trust with our employees and stakeholders across society, reduces operational risk and delivers direct financial value for our business. Our reputation as a responsible mining company supports our ability to access future resource development opportunities, both from the significant endowments within our business and more broadly - critical to delivering our growth ambitions.

Our Sustainable Mining Plan is designed to be a flexible, living plan and we continue to evolve it as we learn and make progress, and as technologies develop, while also ensuring it stays relevant and suitably stretching, in tune with our employees' and stakeholders' ambitions for our business. We are finalising an update to the Sustainable Mining Plan to both reflect the Group's future portfolio, and to ensure that our sustainability ambitions deliver tangible value to our many stakeholders at a local level, where it matters most. Progress against the existing Sustainable Mining Plan targets is discussed below.

Zero mindset

Occupational safety

We tragically lost two colleagues in fatal incidents in the first half of 2025. On 4 February, Mr Edvan de Jesus Pinto Bogea, a colleague working for MIP Engenharia, a contractor company working on the construction of the Filtering Plant Project at Minas-Rio in Brazil was fatally injured in a fall from height incident during construction activities. On 20 April, Mr Felix Kore, a colleague working at the Unki PGMs mine in Zimbabwe was fatally injured in a mobile equipment incident.

The loss of a colleague is a profound reminder of how deeply safety matters. It affects not just the workplace, but every life connected to it, and we keep them in our thoughts at this very difficult time. We must remain focused and vigilant at all times, staying alert to hazards and the risks that surround us.

We are pleased to report continued progress in our safety performance during the first half of 2025. Our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) has shown a sustained downward trend, building on the improvements achieved in 2024 (2024 FY: 1.57; 2025 H1: 1.20). Importantly, we have also seen a consistent decline in High Potential Incidents, reflecting the effectiveness of our risk mitigation strategies and operational discipline.

These improvements in our lagging safety indicators are underpinned by strong performance in key leading indicators. Hazard reporting remains robust, demonstrating a proactive reporting culture across our operations. Visible Felt Leadership continues to drive accountability and engagement at all levels. Planned maintenance is being executed with precision, reducing unplanned work and enhancing reliability.

Our commitment to safety is unwavering, and these results reflect the strength of our systems, our people, and our leadership. We remain focused on continuous improvement to ensure a safe and sustainable operating environment.

Occupational health

Our health and well-being strategy, aligned with the World Health Organization (WHO) Healthy Workplace model, has been updated to include Total Worker Health concepts that integrate actions to support the health and well-being of our workforce and host communities. This integrated strategy incorporates our WeCare well-being programme and other social performance activities, including our livelihoods-support programmes. It requires us to work synergistically to support our people and achieve our health and well-being goals.

Occupational diseases

To date in 2025, there were four reported new cases of occupational disease, all of which were hearing loss related to historic noise exposure (2024 H1: 9; 2024 FY: 19, of which 14 were related to noise exposure and one was musculoskeletal). The challenge in occupational disease reporting is that many hazards do not cause immediately detectable health harms, with most occupational diseases not clinically definable until many years post exposure. This means disease cases reported in a given year reflect accumulated and/or past working conditions and exposures. This is termed "latency of presentation", and the challenge underscores the importance of ongoing robust environment monitoring, comprehensive worker education and health surveillance, regularly updated risk assessments, and proactive control of hazards with levels over the Occupational Exposure Limit. This is why reduction and prevention strategies to control all known workplace hazards down to scientifically proven protective levels remain an ongoing focus at Anglo American.

We continue to maintain efforts on quality data and evolving the reporting of our health data to help inform our future decision making.

Healthy environment

Our existing Sustainable Mining Plan includes commitments to be a leader in environmental stewardship. These include our aims, by 2030, to reduce operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 30%; achieve a 50% reduction in fresh water abstraction in water scarce areas; and deliver net-positive impacts in biodiversity across our managed operations.

Climate change

In the first half of 2025, Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for the current portfolio, including PGMs, were 14% lower than the same period in 2024. This was largely driven by the shutdown of the Grosvenor mine at Steelmaking Coal and the Mortimer smelter at PGMs, as well as planned lower production at some assets, compared to 2024.

We are making progress towards achieving carbon neutrality across our operations by 2040. Compared with 2019, when our emissions peaked, by 2024 we had delivered a 31% reduction in our total Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Year-on-year improvements in the management of methane in our steelmaking coal business made the largest contribution to this reduction, with the completion of our renewable energy rollout in South America in 2023 also making a significant contribution. A major milestone so far in 2025 was the shift of our managed operations in Australia to 100% renewable electricity supply. Added to our South American operations, which have been supplied with 100% renewable electricity since 2023, this means that approximately 60% of the global grid supply for the current Anglo American portfolio (including PGMs) is currently drawn from renewable sources.

We continue to make progress towards addressing Anglo American's largest remaining current source of Scope 2 emissions - our electricity supply in southern Africa. Our jointly owned renewable energy venture with EDF Power Solutions, known as Envusa Energy, is continuing construction of three renewable energy projects, known as the Koruson 2 cluster. These projects, located on the border of the Northern and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, are designed to have a total capacity of 520 MW of wind and solar electricity generation. In the first half of 2025, the Anglo American Board approved construction of a 63MW solar plant on one of the waste rock dumps at Kumba's Sishen mine.

Water

With more than 80% of our global assets (including PGMs) located in water scarce areas, we need to reduce our dependence on fresh water and are working on a number of projects and technologies to help us achieve our fresh water reduction targets.

By the end of 2024, we had reduced fresh water withdrawals by 27% against the 2015 baseline that informs the Sustainable Mining Plan target of a 50% reduction in fresh water withdrawals by 2030. At mid-year 2025, fresh water withdrawals are down an additional 27% compared to H1 2024. Our operations continue to improve their water re-use and recycling rates, reducing their reliance on fresh water. Group-wide water efficiency increased to 86% in 2024 (2023: 84%). This focus on efficiency continues at all our operations throughout 2025, with reported H1 2025 efficiency at 85%.

Biodiversity

As custodians of the land and ecosystems around our operations, we seek to improve the footprint of our operations and direct our efforts towards delivering positive and lasting environmental outcomes for host communities and our wide range of stakeholders.

We have now completed detailed biodiversity baseline assessments across all our managed operations, defining and assessing significant biodiversity features including key habitats and species, as well as identifying those ecosystems that require protection and restoration. The progress towards Net Positive Impact (NPI) was reassessed in 2023, enabling us to begin developing each site's pathway to maintaining an NPI position throughout the life of the asset. Detailed biodiversity management programmes have been developed for each site and have been independently reviewed by our NGO partners.

We continue to implement a range of biodiversity programmes across our its operations to support delivery of the Biodiversity Management Plans. These include large-scale land conservation at El Soldado and Minas-Rio, restoration of degraded land at Los Bronces, and connecting fragmented ecosystems at Kumba and Minas-Rio. At Quellaveco, collaboration with International Union for Conservation of Nature and UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre is advancing species monitoring while also supporting community engagement and afforestation. Collectively, these initiatives contribute to species protection, ecosystem restoration, data sharing, and long term biodiversity resilience across landscapes.

Thriving communities

We continue working to strengthen and broaden our social performance competencies through embedding our social performance management system - the Social Way - across Anglo American. Through the implementation of the Social Way, which we believe is one of the most robust and comprehensive social performance management systems in the mining sector, we protect and enable both business and stakeholder value. Through our collaborative regional development initiatives, we are working actively to support local and regional economies, as well as the lives and livelihoods of the communities where we operate.

In 2024 we completed an efficiency review of the Social Way Assurance programme and the revised approach to assurance will be piloted in H2 2025.

Since the launch of our Sustainable Mining Plan, we have supported more than 157,000 off site jobs through livelihoods programmes. One example of where we are offering support beyond traditional social investment is our Impact Finance Network (IFN), which supports local growth-stage SMEs to prepare for and access funding from investors, provides pre-investment technical assistance, investor matching and catalytic capital and unlocks impact capital at scale, working with partners to build effective impact investment ecosystems. To date, the IFN has provided technical assistance and matching to more than 100 companies globally, supporting more than 53,000 jobs and raising over $117 million of third-party capital. Building off the work in southern Africa, we now have a strong footprint in South America. We are into our third year of operation in Chile and into our second year in Peru, while rolling out the IFN to Brazil, with a pilot running to the end of 2025.

Trusted corporate leader

Tightly linked to our safety imperative and our Values, we strive to create a workplace that places people at its heart. We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse environment where every colleague is valued and respected for who they are, and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

At mid-year 2025, we have continued to increase female representation across the business for our management population, reaching 36%. In addition, in regard to female representation on the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) we have increased to 30% (from 25% at the end of 2024). Female representation on the ELT, plus those reporting to an ELT member, increased to 35% (from 34% in 2024). In addition to ELT representation, we continue to work on other key performance metrics, such as the percentage of women in the overall workforce, which has remained at 26%.

To demonstrate the high standards to which we operate, we have actively worked with multi-stakeholder groups developing and adopting some of the most trusted sustainability certification programmes for the mining sector, including the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) and the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).

Having met our Sustainable Mining Plan interim target of having half of our operations undergo third-party audits against recognised responsible mine certification systems in 2022, we continue to work towards our 2025 target to have initiated third-party audits of all our relevant operations.

Sites that have undergone third-party assessment include:

- Minas-Rio and Barro Alto mines in Brazil are the first iron ore and nickel-producing mines in the world to complete an IRMA audit. Both mines achieved the IRMA 75 level of performance.

- Kolomela and Sishen mines in South Africa are the first iron ore mines in Africa to complete IRMA audits, achieving an IRMA 75 level of performance.

- Los Bronces and El Soldado copper operations have achieved The Copper Mark certification. Our first audits in Steelmaking Coal, using the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) standard, were completed at the Capcoal and Aquila mines.

The success of our business is shared with a wide range of stakeholders, including national governments and host communities, through the significant corporate tax, mining tax and royalty payments that we make. Total taxes and royalties borne and taxes collected amounted to $1,991 million, a 20% decrease compared with the $2,481 million paid in the prior reporting period.

Operational performance

Copper Chile

Copper production of 185,600 tonnes decreased by 25% (30 June 2024: 246,500 tonnes), due to the anticipated lower grade and lower copper recovery at Collahuasi and the planned closure of the smaller of the two Los Bronces processing plants.

At Los Bronces, production decreased by 17% to 80,300 tonnes (30 June 2024: 97,100 tonnes), primarily due to the impact of the smaller Los Bronces processing plant being put on care and maintenance at the end of July 2024, partially offset by higher ore grade (0.54% vs 0.48%) and copper recovery.

At Collahuasi, Anglo American's attributable share of copper production decreased by 33% to 83,400 tonnes(30 June 2024: 125,000 tonnes), due to anticipated lower ore grade (0.91% vs 1.13%) as well as lower copper recovery and throughput associated with lower ore feed quality from processing lower grade stockpiles and temporary water supply constraints.

Production at El Soldado decreased by 10% to 21,900 tonnes (30 June 2024: 24,400 tonnes), principally due to planned lower grade (0.88% vs 0.94%).

Copper Peru

Quellaveco production increased by 6% to 156,600 tonnes (30 June 2024: 147,300 tonnes), reflecting strong plant performance and higher grades (0.77% vs 0.73%). As planned, in 2025, the mine is expected to average similar grades as 2024, while the next phases are opened and developed, allowing for greater flexibility in the medium and long term. Optimising plant stability and throughput remains a priority during 2025 as we continue to work to improve recoveries, including at the coarse particle recovery plant.

The differences between the market price and the realised prices are largely a function of provisional pricing adjustments and the timing of sales across the period.

Copper prices were volatile during the first half of 2025 as strong Chinese refined demand and a tariff-related surge in US refined copper imports were partly offset by uncertainty regarding the wider economic impact of US tariffs. The LME copper price averaged 428 c/lb, up 4% from the comparative period (30 June 2024: 412 c/lb), with the anticipation of Section 232 tariffs on copper driving a 127% period-on-period surge in US refined imports during the first 5 months of the year, drawing refined copper away from more typical demand centres in Asia and Europe. Chinese refined demand has remained robust, despite evolving US trade policies, while longer term copper prices are expected to remain well-supported by continued electrification and energy transition infrastructure investment.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA for Copper decreased by 14% to $1,756 million (30 June 2024: $2,038 million), driven by lower sales volumes, despite the higher copper price.

Copper Chile

Underlying EBITDA decreased by 40% to $715 million (30 June 2024: $1,196 million), primarily driven by lower sales volumes and higher unit costs, partially offset by higher copper prices. C1 unit costs increased by 20% to 211 c/lb (30 June 2024: 176 c/lb), reflecting the impact of lower production coupled with a shift in the production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi, partially offset by the benefit of higher by-product credits, lower treatment and refining charges and a weaker Chilean peso.

Capital expenditure decreased by 12% to $543 million (30 June 2024: $620 million), driven by expected lower expenditure at Collahuasi on the desalination plant project and a weaker Chilean peso.

Copper Peru

Underlying EBITDA increased by 24% to $1,041 million (30 June 2024: $842 million), reflecting higher sales volumes and prices as well as lower C1 unit costs. C1 unit costs decreased by 21% to 88 c/lb (30 June 2024: 112 c/lb), reflecting the benefit from lower treatment and refining charges, lower fuel and maintenance contract costs as well as the deferral of some costs into the second half of the year.

Capital expenditure decreased by 28% to $169 million (30 June 2024: $235 million), due to rephasing of spend on the tailings management facility and completion of tailings dam phases.

Operational outlook

Copper Chile

Los Bronces

Los Bronces is a world-class copper deposit, accounting for more than 2% of the world's known copper resources. A single phase with harder ore is currently been mined, and until the economics improve, the smaller (c.40% of total plant capacity) Los Bronces processing plant will remain on care and maintenance.

Good progress is being made in the development of Donoso 2, the next phase of the mine, which has higher grade and softer ore. Development activities for this phase continue and it is expected to be fully opened by early 2027. The first phase of the Los Bronces integrated water security project is also ongoing, which will secure a large portion of the mine's water needs through a desalinated water supply from 2026.

The permitted Los Bronces integrated project work is progressing as planned. For the mine pit expansion, the first mine phase development has already started, and for Los Bronces underground, the pre-feasibility study is advancing and is expected to be finalised during the second half of 2025.

Collahuasi is a world-class orebody with significant growth potential, accounting for more than 2% of the world´s known copper resources with over 2.6 billion tonnes of sulphide Ore Reserves at 0.96% TCu grade. The mine is currently transitioning between phases in the main Rosario pit and is expected to continue drawing on lower grade stockpiles over the coming period, while remaining focused on optimising plant feed to mitigate the impact of this transitional period and completing the key debottlenecking projects. Various debottlenecking options have been approved and are in execution that are expected to add c.25,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) (our 44% share) of production from late 2027. Beyond that, studies and permitting are under way for a fourth processing line in the plant and mine expansion that would add up to c.150,000 tpa (our 44% share) of production. Timing of that expansion is subject to the permitting process; depending on permit approval, first production could follow from the early 2030s.

A desalination plant is currently under construction that will meet a large portion of the mine's water requirements by mid-2026 when fully operational and has been designed to accommodate capital-efficient expansion to support the fourth processing line expansion project. Until then, the operation continues to progress mitigation measures to optimise and reduce water consumption, as well as securing third-party water sources including the provision of ultra-filtered sea water that was delivered in July for system testing and is expected to ramp-up during the second half of 2025.

El Soldado

Production in 2025 is expected to return to 2023 production levels (c.40,000 tpa) due to planned lower grades, before declining to 30,000-35,000 tpa until end of mine life which is expected by mid-2028. Options to extend the life of the mine beyond 2028 are being evaluated.

Copper Chile

These factors are reflected in the unchanged guidance provided on pages 31-33. Production guidance for Chile for 2025 is 380,000-410,000 tonnes, subject to water availability, and is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2025 given the impact from lower grades in the first half from Collahuasi, particularly in Q1.

2025 unit cost guidance is c.195 c/lb(1). The first half unit cost of 211 c/lb, was higher than guidance, reflecting the impact of the production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi.

Copper Peru

Quellaveco in Peru remains a cornerstone in our portfolio of world-class copper assets, designed to produce on average c.300,000 tonnes of copper per annum in its first 10 years of operation.

In the latter part of 2023, a revised mine plan was put into place due to a localised geotechnical fault. The stripping and mine development work is progressing well, with other lower grade phases being mined and opened up to increase the flexibility in the mine. After five years of operating, maintenance will be carried out on the concentrator, including the mills and conveyors; this is expected to occur in 2027 and 2028, modestly impacting production in those years.

There is significant expansion potential that could sustain production beyond the initial high-grade area. The original plant throughput design capacity was 127,500 tonnes per day (tpd) and a change in legislation in the middle of 2024 increased the permit allowance from 5% to 10%, enabling throughput to increase from 133,800 tpd to c.140,000 tpd. In order to maximise throughput within the parameters of the current Environmental Impact Assessment permit, a rapid permit to increase throughput to 150,000 tpd plus the 10% allowance was obtained in 2025. This provides added flexibility to design optimal throughput for the plant with limited configuration changes, subject to sectorial permits associated with the specific design and water availability.

In light of this, the stage one expansion has been approved and will increase throughput to c.142,000 tpd by late 2026, involving the installation of a second pebble crusher and additional flotation cells. This project represents the first stage to full optimisation of the plant with minimal capital investment, delivering robust returns. Efforts will continue to further debottleneck the plant, while conducting early studies to support Quellaveco's long-term expansion prospects, underpinned by an exploration drilling campaign below and around the current pit shell, which to date has yielded promising results.

These factors are reflected in the unchanged guidance provided on pages 31-33. Production guidance for Peru for 2025 is 310,000-340,000 tonnes. 2025 unit cost guidance is c.100 c/lb(1). The first half unit cost of 88 c/lb was lower than guidance, reflecting higher molybdenum volumes due to mine phasing with strong pricing realisations, the impact of mine sequencing and lower treatment and refining charges.

 

(1) The copper unit costs are impacted by FX rates and pricing of by-products, such as molybdenum. 2025 unit cost guidance was set at c.950 CLP:USD for Chile and c.3.75 PEN:USD for Peru.

Operational performance

Kumba(1)

Total production of 18.2 Mt is marginally lower than the prior period (30 June 2024: 18.5 Mt) reflecting a flexible production approach to managing Sishen and Kolomela as an integrated complex. Production was 6% lower at Sishen at 12.4 Mt (30 June 2024: 13.2 Mt) following a proactive drawdown of high mine stockpiles in the first quarter and maintenance activities in the second quarter. This was mostly offset by an increase of 12% at Kolomela to 5.9Mt (30 June 2024: 5.3Mt) due to the improved third-party rail availability to the mine.

Sales volumes increased by 3% to 18.7 Mt (30 June 2024: 18.1 Mt), due to improved equipment availability at Saldanha Bay Port.

The third-party rail performance improved by 0.8 Mt to 18.9 Mt (30 June 2024: 18.1 Mt) due to improved running times. Total finished stock remained broadly flat in the first six months of the year at 7.4 Mt, with stock at the mines decreasing by 0.5 Mt to 6.4 Mt and stock at the port increasing by 0.5 Mt to 1.0 Mt.

Minas-Rio

Minas-Rio delivered a strong performance in the first six months of the year, with production increasing by 7% to 13.1 Mt (30 June 2024: 12.3 Mt). This performance was underpinned by improved mass recovery at the beneficiation plant, which in turn was driven by reduced ore variability, higher iron ore content, enhanced operational discipline and stability through improved equipment availability to ensure consistent ore feed supply.

The Platts 65-62 differential averaged $12/dmt in H1 2025, down from $13/dmt in H1 2024, reflecting a shift in demand towards low to mid-grade iron ore. The shift has prompted consecutive narrowing of the spread throughout the first six months of the year, as steelmakers sought to reduce costs amid sustained margin pressure. The lump premium averaged $0.1514/dmtu in H1 2025, up from $0.1339/dmtu a year earlier, supported by a significant decline in metallurgical coke prices that incentivised greater lump usage in blast furnace operations.

Kumba's FOB realised price of $91/wet metric tonne (wmt) was above the equivalent Platts 62% Fe FOB Saldanha market price (adjusted for moisture) of $84/wmt in the first six months of the year. The premiums for iron content (64.1% Fe) and lump product (approximately 67%) were partially offset by provisionally priced sales volumes.

Minas-Rio's pellet feed product is higher grade (with iron content of c.67% and lower impurities) so the MB 65 Fines index is used when referring to the Minas-Rio product. The Minas-Rio realised price of $86/wmt FOB was 5% higher than the equivalent MB 65 FOB Brazil index (adjusted for moisture) of $82/wmt FOB, benefitting from the premium for our high quality product, including higher (~67%) Fe content, partially offset by provisionally priced sales volumes.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA for Iron Ore remained broadly flat at $1,410 million (30 June 2024: $1,413 million), as a 4% lower realised iron ore price was fully offset by a 5% increase in sales volumes.

Kumba(1)

Underlying EBITDA was 4% lower at $849 million (30 June 2024: $888 million), as the lower realised price was largely offset by higher sales volumes. Unit costs were maintained at $39/tonne (30 June 2024: $39/tonne), as a result of ongoing cost optimisation work that offset the effects of inflation and the stronger South African rand.

Capital expenditure decreased by 8% to $246 million (30 June 2024: $266 million) reflecting lower stay-in-business spend as a result of optimisation initiatives and phasing as projects are ramping up in the second half of the year, partially offset by higher deferred stripping capitalisation.

Minas-Rio

Underlying EBITDA increased by 7% to $561 million (30 June 2024: $525 million), driven primarily by higher sales volumes and lower unit cost. Unit costs decreased by 12% to $29/tonne (30 June 2024: $33/tonne), mainly due to a weaker Brazilian real and higher production volumes.

Capital expenditure was 20% higher at $274 million (30 June 2024: $229 million), primarily associated to the tailings filtration project, which is expected to start up in early 2026.

Operational outlook

Kumba

Production is expected to remain at 35-37 Mtpa in the near term, apart from 2026, which is expected to decrease by c.4Mt to 31-33 Mtpa reflecting the tie-in of the Ultra High Dense-Media-Separation (UHDMS) project which was announced by Kumba in August 2024. Unit costs are expected to be between $39-40/tonne during this three-year period.

These factors are reflected in the unchanged guidance provided on pages 31-33. Production guidance for 2025 is 35-37Mt, subject to third-party rail and port availability and performance. 2025 unit cost guidance is c.$39/tonne(2). The first half unit cost of $39/tonne was in line with guidance.

(1) Production and sales volumes, stock and realised price are reported on a wet basis and could differ from Kumba's stand-alone results due to sales to other Group companies.

Minas-Rio

An inspection of the 529 km pipeline that carries iron ore slurry from the plant to the port is planned for Q3 2025. Plant maintenance has been scheduled to coincide with the operational stoppage. Pipeline inspections take place every five years and are validated by external consultants and agreed with the Brazilian Environmental Authorities.

These factors are reflected in the unchanged guidance provided on pages 31-33. Production guidance for 2025 is 22-24 Mt. 2025 unit cost guidance is c.$32/tonne(2). The first half unit cost of $29/tonne, was lower than guidance, due to production volumes being weighted to the first half of the year.

Following a record 12-month performance of 25 million tonnes in 2024, focus will remain on delivering consistent and stable production, while increasing the maturity of the capital projects to sustain and grow production volumes as well as improving the mine plan to minimise ore feed quality variability. In light of the completion of the transaction to integrate the contiguous Serra da Serpentina high-grade iron ore resource, options to maximise long-term value are currently being evaluated.

In parallel, Minas-Rio is focused on increasing tailings storage capacity. The tailings filtration plant project is on track for completion by early 2026 and alternative, additional disposal options continue to be studied.

(2) 2025 unit cost guidance was set at c.18.60 ZAR:USD for Kumba and c.5.75 BRL:USD for Minas-Rio.

Operational performance

Attributable manganese ore production decreased 4% to 1.1 Mt (30 June 2024: 1.1 Mt), reflecting the temporary suspension of the Australian operations since March 2024 as a result of the impact of tropical cyclone Megan, with operations resuming in Q2 2025. Export shipping activities resumed progressively in the second half of May.

The sale of the South African manganese alloy smelter, which has been on care and maintenance since March 2020 completed in June, in line with expectations.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA decreased by 200% to a loss of $11 million (30 June 2024: $11 million profit), primarily driven by a 22% decrease in export sales following the damage caused by the tropical cyclone in March 2024 at the Australian operation and the weaker average realised manganese ore price, which was partially offset by lower operating costs. Insurance proceeds of $40 million (40% attributable share basis) for the cyclone damage have been received in the first six months of this year (taking the total received since the incident to $160 million).

High grade manganese ore prices (Metal Bulletin 44% manganese ore CIF China) averaged $4.53/dmtu in the first six months of the year, down 18% from the same period last year (30 June 2024: $5.54/dmtu), reflecting the market normalisation in the second half of 2024 following the cyclone damage to critical infrastructure at the South32 Australian operation in March and subsequent recovery in overall seaborne supply. Despite the growing use of manganese in batteries, margins in the main consumer steel industry remained weak in early 2025, leading to subdued demand in the key consuming regions of China and Europe, and prices have drifted down again to more normal levels.

Crop Nutrients

Anglo American is developing Woodsmith, a large-scale, long-life Tier 1 asset in the north east of England, to access the world's largest known deposit of polyhalite - a natural mineral fertiliser product containing potassium, sulphur, magnesium and calcium - four of the six nutrients that every plant needs to grow.

The Woodsmith project is located on the North Yorkshire coast, just south of Whitby, where polyhalite ore will be extracted via two 1.6 km deep mine shafts (a service shaft and a production shaft) and then transported to the port area in Teesside via an underground conveyor belt in a 37 km mineral transport system (MTS) tunnel, thereby minimising any environmental impact on the surface. The polyhalite can then be developed into POLY4, our comparatively low-carbon multi-nutrient polyhalite product, at a materials handling facility in the port area, before being exported to a network of customers around the world from the priority access port facility.

Progress update

Woodsmith project

In 2024, the Group announced that in order to support deleveraging of the balance sheet, it will be slowing the pace of development of the Woodsmith project in the near-term. Crop Nutrients is one of the three businesses within the simplified portfolio and, as such, the current focus is on preserving the exceptional long-term value of this high quality asset. The transition to slowdown status was completed in Q1 2025 with activities now focused on critical value-adding works to de-risk the overall project schedule, preserve progress in areas that are in care and maintenance, and further optimise certain scopes of the project to be ready for ramp-up when conditions allow.

Shaft sinking activities are continuing on the service shaft in order to progress through the Sherwood sandstone strata - a water-bearing layer of hard rock. As planned during H1 2025, initial sinking activities in the sandstone, grouting and installation of water-tight liner (tubbing) have been completed. Good progress has been made to date, and the learnings from these initial activities will help progress shaft sinking in the second half of the year and confirm key assumptions on the overall project development schedule. Sinking activities on the production shaft were paused in June 2024. Tunnel boring activities have continued at a significantly reduced pace, which will continue during 2025. The tunnel has now reached c.29.6 km, approximately 80% of the total 37 km length.

Value-preservation work during the slowdown period also includes maintenance of key permits and preservation of land rights to allow project ramp-up in due course, and execution of the critical study programme, focused on enhancing the project's configuration to enable efficient, scalable mining methods and optimising additional infrastructure. The critical study programme re-scoping considers the revised capital schedule and development plan and importantly allows us to review project and business development opportunities, to optimise our business plans prior to ramping up again when conditions allow.

Before the project would be sanctioned for full development and consideration by the Board for approval, three conditions need to be met. First, a feasibility study would need to be completed, which requires sufficient information from the sandstone strata to confirm key assumptions. The second condition is a clear pathway to syndication for value. Finally, the Group's balance sheet would need to be sufficiently deleveraged.

The expected final design capacity remains c.13 Mtpa, subject to ongoing studies and approval. Work is also continuing to identify and secure one or more strategic syndication partners for Woodsmith ahead of consideration by the Board for approval and subsequent project ramp-up, anticipated from 2027.

Forecast capital expenditure for 2025 remains c.$0.3 billion, focused on core infrastructure, with $184 million spent during the first half of this year (H1 2024: $500 million). We will continue to fund our Thriving Communities programmes that focus on education and supporting vulnerable young people. We also engage regularly with local stakeholders and community partners to ensure that they are informed of changes to the project and any concerns are addressed.

Market development

Polyhalite products provide farmers with a fertiliser solution to tackle the three key challenges facing the food industry today - the increasing demand for food from less available land; the need to reduce the environmental impact of farming; and the deteriorating health of soils.

In February 2025, we published a report looking into the "Future of Fertiliser". This report brought together the voices of a diverse group of 74 agricultural experts from around the world and across the food value chain to consider how agriculture will have changed by 2050. Their opinions confirmed the need for the fertiliser industry to adapt to recognise the value of sustainability, balanced nutrition, and soil health. The qualities and characteristics of POLY4, confirmed through over 2,000 field demonstrations to date on over 80 crops, fit neatly into the long-term gaps the agricultural industry is facing. To further validate this, we are also continuing progress on our pioneering five-year research project with the International Atomic Energy Agency, an organisation within the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FOA) announced in 2024, into the beneficial impact polyhalite could have in reducing salt levels in soil - a major factor in the degradation of soil health globally.

We are continuing focused research and market development activities to maintain relationships and better understand demand for POLY4 and potential for polyhalite products.

Woodsmith remains a Tier 1 asset aligned with the demand trends of decarbonisation and food security. Anglo American has high confidence, backed by its proven track record in project delivery, to develop the Woodsmith project once the critical studies have been completed, the pathway to syndication is clear and the balance sheet is suitably deleveraged.

Markets

Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenging in the first half of 2025 as both the diamond midstream and downstream adopted a cautious approach to restocking amid broader market uncertainty, coupled with continued surplus polished inventory in the midstream.

While a stabilisation of polished diamond prices in the first quarter of the year temporarily supported an improvement in industry sentiment, polished trading slowed again in the second quarter amid increased uncertainty surrounding US tariffs announced in April.

Although wholesale rough and polished diamond trading conditions remained difficult, consumer demand for diamond jewellery was broadly stable in the first half of the year. Demand in the US held steady year-to-date, though the full impact of the tariffs has yet to be seen. In India, leading retailers reported double-digit growth in the first quarter of the year. Meanwhile, the rate of decline in China appears to be slowing, while demand in Japan and the Gulf remains robust.

Operational performance

Mining

Rough diamond production reduced by 23% to 10.2 million carats (30 June 2024: 13.3 million carats), reflecting a proactive production response to the prolonged period of lower demand and higher than normal levels of inventory in the midstream.

In Botswana, production was reduced by 26% to 7.2 million carats (30 June 2024: 9.7 million carats), as a result of planned actions to lower production at Jwaneng and Orapa, as well as extended maintenance at Orapa(1) and putting the Letlhakane Tailings Treatment Plant on care and maintenance as part of the planned production response.

Production in Namibia was flat at 1.2 million carats (30 June 2024: 1.2 million carats), as planned actions to lower production at Debmarine Namibia were offset by planned higher grade mining and better recoveries at Namdeb.

In South Africa, production was flat at 1.1 million carats (30 June 2024: 1.1 million carats). The output from the Venetia underground project remains much lower than during the prior open-pit operations, with the capital spend being rephased as part of De Beers' cash preservation initiatives. Production is expected to increase over the next few years as the underground project continues its ramp-up in line with the recently reconfigured plan.

Production in Canada decreased by 43% to 0.8 million carats (30 June 2024: 1.3 million carats) due to the planned treatment of lower grade ore.

Financial performance

Challenging rough diamond trading conditions persisted through the first half of 2025 with total revenue declining to $2.0 billion (30 June 2024: $2.2 billion). This was driven by a 13% reduction in rough diamond sales to $1.7 billion (30 June 2024: $2.0 billion), reflecting the subdued demand and lower realised price.

The H1 2025 consolidated average realised price decreased by 5% to $155 per carat, reflecting the impact of a 14% decrease in the average rough price index, partially offset by stronger demand for higher-value stones impacting the sales mix in Q2 2025.

Whilst the business generated positive cashflow, the consequential impact of the declining price index and the impact of stock rebalancing initiatives with specific assortments being sold at lower margins, resulted in an underlying EBITDA loss of $189 million (H1 2024: income of $300 million). Further, H1 2024 benefitted from the one-off sale of a non-diamond royalty right of $127 million. Unit costs of $87/ct (30 June 2024: $85/ct) were broadly flat, as the impact of lower rough diamond production volumes were offset by cost reduction initiatives across the operations, a temporary mine sequencing benefit at Venetia and lower in-port maintenance costs at Debmarine Namibia due to timing.

Capital expenditure decreased by 35% to $172 million (30 June 2024: $264 million), predominantly due to cash preservation and optimisation initiatives. This includes the rephasing of Venetia underground life-extension and rationalisation of stay-in-business capex spend.

Corporate strategy

De Beers advanced delivery of its Origins strategy, with a focus on strengthening the appeal of natural diamonds through key partnerships and targeted campaigns to revitalise natural diamond marketing. In India, new initiatives were introduced to deepen the cultural resonance of natural diamonds and enhance retail engagement. These included launching a national natural diamond marketing campaign, the launch of a new collection in collaboration with leading Indian jeweller, Tanishq, and providing support for independent jewellers via the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).

In the US, De Beers advanced the roll-out of its DiamondProofTM verification device - empowering retailers and consumers to easily distinguish natural from lab-grown diamonds - backed by promotional activity. The company also unveiled its first category-defining 'Beacon' product in over a decade to increase consumer desire for natural diamonds, alongside the formal launch of ORIGIN - De Beers Group: a branded loose diamond programme powered by the TracrTM blockchain, offering full provenance and product storytelling for retail partners.

De Beers was also a signatory to the Luanda Accord, a landmark commitment between government and industry representatives to promote natural diamonds and drive global demand.

De Beers remains on track to achieve its strategic goals, including committed overhead cost savings through 2025.

Brands and Diamond Desirability

De Beers Jewellers, rebranded as De Beers London at the beginning of the year, continued to deliver on its re-set plan, with a focus on design-led pieces and high jewellery collections, despite ongoing market challenges. The brand also continues to build its global presence with new flagship stores in key markets. In April, it launched a flagship store in Dubai Mall in partnership with the Chalhoub Group, a renowned partner for luxury across the Middle East. Preparations are also underway for the launch of its Paris flagship store.

Forevermark continues its transformation into a premium finished jewellery brand, with a focus on growth opportunities in India. Four new stores are expected to open in Mumbai and Delhi during the second half of 2025. Forevermark's legacy business continues its planned global ramp-down.

Market outlook

Near-term rough diamond trading conditions remain subdued amid continued tariff-related uncertainty. While the risk of a US recession has eased, high geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty continues to dampen sentiment.

Medium-term recovery prospects are supported by diamond producers seeking to adjust supply to meet prevailing demand, and a gradual improvement in demand, particularly in China.

Differentiation between natural and synthetic or laboratory-grown diamonds (LGDs) continues. Falling wholesale LGD prices and growing consumer awareness of the low production costs of LGDs are driving their positioning as low-cost fashion jewellery.

The outlook for natural diamonds is further bolstered by growing demand for verified provenance. TracrTM, the pioneering blockchain traceability platform developed by De Beers, now provides single-country origin information for all gem quality diamonds over 0.5 carats - aligning with new G7 import rules.

Operational outlook

Production guidance for 2025 remains at 20-23 million carats (100% basis). De Beers continues to monitor rough diamond trading conditions and will respond accordingly.

Unit cost guidance for 2025 is c.$94/carat(2). The first half unit cost of $87/carat is lower than guidance, reflecting the impact of mine sequencing at Venetia and timing of in-port maintenance at Debmarine Namibia.

(1) Orapa constitutes the Orapa Regime which includes Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa. Letlhakane was placed on care and maintenance March 2025, and Damtshaa has been on care and maintenance since 2021.

(2) Unit cost is based on De Beers' proportionate consolidated share of costs and associated production. 2025 unit cost guidance was set at c.18.60 ZAR:USD.

Financial overview

Exploration

Exploration expenditure was $55 million, 8% lower than the prior period (30 June 2024: $60 million), due to planned lower spend.

Corporate activities and unallocated costs

Underlying EBITDA was $74 million (30 June 2024: $8 million loss). The improved result was primarily driven by cost savings following the initiation of the transformational changes and the consequent refocusing on key strategic projects. This more than offset reduced margins from the Marketing business' shipping activities due to lower freight rates.

(3)PGM sales volumes exclude tolling and third-party trading activities. SMC sales volumes exclude thermal coal sales of 0.8 Mt (H1 2024: 0.7 Mt). Includes sales relating to third-party product purchased and processed by Anglo American.

(4)Price for a basket of goods per PGM oz. The dollar basket price is the net sales revenue from all metals sold (PGMs, base metals and other metals) excluding trading and foreign exchange translation impacts, per PGM 5E + gold ounces sold (own mined and purchase of concentrate) excluding trading, and measured in $/PGM oz. SMC price is realised price is the weighted average hard coking coal and PCI export sales price achieved at managed operations, measured in $/t. Nickel shows its realised price, measured in $/lb.

(5)PGMs unit cost is total cash operating costs (includes on-mine, smelting and refining costs only) per own mined PGM ounce of production, measured in $/PGM oz. SMC unit cost is FOB unit cost comprises managed operations and excludes royalties, measured in $/t. Nickel is C1 unit cost, measured in c/lb.

(6)Anglo American's attributable share of Jellinbah is 23.3%. Anglo American agreed the sale of its 33.33% stake in Jellinbah in November 2024, and this transaction has now completed on 29 January 2025. The results from Jellinbah post 1 November 2024, after the sale was agreed, did not accrue to Anglo American and have been excluded. Jellinbah production in H1 2024 was 1.6 Mt.

PGMs

The PGMs business was classified as 'held for distribution' from 30 April 2025 upon the approval of the demerger resolution at the Group AGM. The demerger subsequently took effect on 31 May 2025, resulting in five months being consolidated in 2025 compared to six months in 2024.

Operational performance

Total PGM metal-in-concentrate production decreased by 32% to 1,188,400 ounces (30 June 2024: 1,755,100 ounces). Excluding June 2024 (on a like-for-like basis), production decreased by 18% primarily due to the Kroondal transition to a 4E toll arrangement which commenced in September 2024, and heavy flooding at the start of the year at Amandelbult, which then impacted operations for the remainder of the period.

PGM sales volumes decreased by 43% to 1,134,000 ounces (30 June 2024: 1,973,600 ounces). On a like-for-like basis, sales were 31% lower due to the lower production, triennial stock take at the Base Metal Refinery, as well as the comparative period benefitting from a drawdown of finished goods.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA decreased to $199 million (30 June 2024: $675 million). On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA decreased by 55% driven by the lower sales volumes and the flooding at Amandelbult. The own mined unit cost increased by 18% to $1,149/PGM ounce (30 June 2024: $976/PGM ounce). On a like-for-like basis, unit costs increased by 17%, predominantly driven by the lower own-mined production and flood recovery costs at Amandelbult.

Capital expenditure of $353 million was 22% lower (30 June 2024: $455 million). On a like-for-like basis, capex was 4% lower due to planned lower growth spend following a reprioritisation and rephasing of projects.

Steelmaking Coal

Anglo American agreed the sale of its 33.33% stake in Jellinbah in November 2024, and this transaction completed on 29 January 2025, with proceeds of $0.9 billion received. The results from Jellinbah post 1 November 2024, after the sale was agreed, did not accrue to Anglo American and have been excluded.

On 25 November 2024, the signing of definitive agreements to sell the entirety of our remaining Steelmaking Coal business was announced, generating up to $3.8 billion in aggregate gross cash proceeds.

The Moranbah-Grosvenor joint operations and Jellinbah associate were classified as held for sale as at 31 December 2024. The remainder of the Steelmaking Coal business was held for sale on 15 March 2025 following expiry of the relevant pre-emptive rights. We continue to believe that the event that occurred on 31 March 2025 at the Moranbah North steelmaking coal mine in Australia does not constitute a Material Adverse Change (MAC) in accordance with the definitive agreements signed with Peabody in November 2024, such belief reinforced by the substantial regulatory progress made towards a restart of the operation. We continue to work constructively with Peabody towards completing the transaction and we are fulfilling our responsibilities under the sale agreements. Anglo American reserves its rights under the definitive agreements with Peabody and is confident in its legal position.

Operational performance

Production decreased by 46% to 4.3 Mt (30 June 2024: 8.0 Mt), reflecting the suspension of mining at the Grosvenor longwall operation during the first six months of this year, following the underground fire on 29 June 2024, and the sale of Jellinbah. Production was also impacted by the underground incident at Moranbah on 31 March 2025, with operations remaining temporarily suspended. These decreases were partially offset by increased production from the Aquila underground operation reflecting strong performance of the longwall coupled with improved ground conditions, as well as higher production at the Capcoal open cut operation due to mine sequencing.

At Moranbah, significant progress has been made since the re-entry to the underground area in mid-April. Maintenance and development operations resumed in early June and work is now well progressed to prepare the longwall panel for restart. Approval to move the shearer from the tailgate to the maingate to undertake maintenance activities was recently received - and in so doing, will provide useful dynamic data for validating our controls, as we move towards a risk-based, safe and structured restart of the longwall. Subject to final approval from the regulator, we intend to use remote operation at the restart for a period of time, as part of a moderated ramp-up as we work safely to reach steady state production. At Grosvenor, we continue to work with the regulator to complete the remaining requirements for re-entry approval - a critical milestone that will enable our teams to return underground, conduct visual inspections and continue our readiness activities.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA loss of $149 million (30 June 2024: gain of $592 million), as a result of lower sales volumes, which includes the impact of the Jellinbah sale, a 38% decrease in the weighted average realised price for steelmaking coal and $60 million non-operational costs associated with Grosvenor. Unit costs increased by 9% to $136/tonne (30 June 2024: $125/tonne), primarily reflecting the impact of lower production from Moranbah, which as an underground operation has a higher proportion of fixed costs.

Capital expenditure decreased to $149 million (30 June 2024: $257 million), primarily reflecting the reduced spend at Grosvenor following the underground fire in June 2024.

Nickel

Anglo American has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Nickel business to MMG Singapore Resources Pte. Ltd, subject to relevant approvals. The Nickel business was classified as held for sale on 18 February 2025 following the announcement of the signed sale and purchase agreement.

Operational performance

Nickel production decreased by 1% to 19,300 tonnes (30 June 2024: 19,500 tonnes), due to expected lower grade.

Financial performance

Underlying EBITDA increased to $43 million (30 June 2024: $41 million), primarily due to the lower unit cost and higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower realised price. Unit costs decreased by 6% to 473 c/lb (30 June 2024: 505 c/lb), reflecting the benefit of cost efficiencies, particularly energy, lower input prices and the weaker Brazilian real.

Capital expenditure of $16 million was lower than 30 June 2024 of $50 million, reflecting lower capitalised stripping costs.

Further commentary on the operational outlook is included within the respective business reviews on pages 17-31.

Note: Unit costs exclude royalties, depreciation and include direct support costs only. 2025 unit cost guidance was set at: c.950 CLP:USD, c.3.75 PEN:USD, c.5.75 BRL:USD, c.18.60 ZAR:USD, c.1.60 AUD:USD. Subject to macro-economic factors.

(1) Copper business only. On a contained-metal basis. Total copper production is the sum of Chile and Peru. Unit cost total reflects a weighted average using the mid-point of production guidance. 2025 Chile: 380-410 kt; Peru 310-340 kt. 2026 Chile: 440-470 kt; Peru: 320-350 kt. 2027 Chile: 450-480 kt; Peru 310-340 kt. In 2025, copper production is impacted by lower grades at most of our operations in Chile. In 2026, production benefits from improved grades at Collahuasi in Chile and higher plant throughput in Peru. In 2027, production benefits from higher grades at Los Bronces and higher throughput at Collahuasi in Chile, partially offset by slightly lower production in Peru due to planned plant maintenance, including mills and conveyors. Chile production is subject to water availability, and is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2025 given the impact from lower grades in the first half from Collahuasi, particularly in Q1. 2025 unit cost guidance for Chile is c.195 c/lb and for Peru is c.100 c/lb. The copper unit costs are impacted by FX rates and pricing of by-products, such as molybdenum.

(2) Wet basis. Total iron ore is the sum of Kumba and Minas-Rio. Unit cost total reflects a weighted average using the mid-point of production guidance. 2025 Kumba: 35-37 Mt; Minas-Rio: 22-24 Mt. 2026 Kumba: 31-33 Mt; Minas-Rio: 23-25 Mt. 2027 Kumba: 35-37 Mt; Minas-Rio: 24-26 Mt. In 2025, Minas-Rio production guidance reflects a pipeline inspection (that occurs every five years), planned for the third quarter of the year. In 2026, Kumba production is lower by c.4 Mt due to tie-in activities required for the ultra-high-dense-media-separation (UHDMS) project which was announced by Kumba in August 2024. Kumba production is subject to the third-party rail and port availability and performance. 2025 unit cost guidance for Kumba is c.$39/tonne and for Minas-Rio is c.$32/tonne.

(3) Production is on a 100% basis except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation, which is on an attributable 51% basis. Production is lower in 2025 and 2026 reflecting the challenging rough diamond trading conditions. De Beers continues to monitor rough diamond trading conditions and will respond accordingly. Unit cost is based on De Beers' proportionate consolidated share of costs and associated production.

Further details on Anglo American's high quality growth and life-extension projects, including details of the associated volumes benefit, are disclosed on pages 9-11.

Long term sustaining capital expenditure for the simplified portfolio is expected to be $2.0 billion per annum(5), excluding life-extension projects.

Other guidance

- 2025 depreciation for continuing operations: $2.3-2.5 billion

- 2025 underlying effective tax rate for continuing operations: 44-48%(6)

- Long-term underlying effective tax rate (simplified portfolio): 38-42%(6)

- Dividend payout ratio: 40% of underlying earnings

- Net debt:EBITDA:

 

(1)Cash expenditure on property, plant and equipment including related derivatives, net of proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment, and includes direct funding for capital expenditure from non-controlling interests. Guidance includes unapproved projects and is, therefore, subject to the progress of project studies, permitting and approval. Refer to the Interim 2025 results presentation for further detail on the breakdown of the capex guidance at project level.

(2)Woodsmith operating costs for 2025 and 2026 are expected to be c.$0.1 billion and c.$0.1billion, respectively.

(3)Collahuasi desalination capex shown includes related infrastructure, with other water management projects included in baseline sustaining. Attributable share of capex at 44%.

(4)Capex guidance for continuing operations includes Copper, Iron Ore, Crop Nutrients and De Beers. Capex guidance for discontinued operations includes a full year of Steelmaking Coal and Nickel as well as the actual five-months of spend at PGMs. The c.$0.1 billion of lifex for discontinued operations relates to PGMs.

(5)Long-term sustaining capex guidance is shown on a 2025 real basis and is for the simplified portfolio.

(6) Underlying effective tax rate guidance is highly dependent on a number of factors, including the mix of profits and any relevant tax reforms impacting the countries where we operate, and may vary from guidance, and will be impacted by the timing of the exit of De Beers from the portfolio.
