Executive summary

  • Delivered strong operational and financial performance in H1 2026, with production and results within guidance and benefiting from higher commodity prices and a favorable marketing environment.

  • Adjusted EBITDA rose 86% year-over-year to $10.1 billion, driven by robust metals, minerals, and energy markets, and exceptional oil and gas trading.

  • Net income increased 8% to $4.4 billion, with funds from operations up 158% to $8.1 billion.

  • Announced $3.5 billion in 2026 shareholder returns, including a $1 billion special cash distribution and $500 million buyback.

  • Confirmed secondary ASX listing targeted for October 2026 to broaden investor access and financial flexibility.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue increased 49% year-over-year to $174.4 billion in H1 2026.

  • Adjusted industrial EBITDA reached $6.5 billion, up 72% year-over-year, led by higher commodity prices and increased copper/cobalt sales.

  • Marketing Adjusted EBIT surged 142% to $3.3 billion, reflecting market dislocations and trading opportunities, mainly from energy.

  • Net debt reduced to $10.2 billion, with net debt/Adjusted EBITDA at 0.56x, supported by strong cash generation.

  • Adjusted EBIT rose 269% to $6.7 billion; FFO up 158% to $8.1 billion.

Outlook and guidance

  • On track to meet full-year production and cost guidance, with copper production targeted at 1 million tons by 2028 and 1.6 million tons by 2035.

  • Full-year Marketing Adjusted EBIT expected between $4.7–5.6 billion, at the upper end of long-term guidance.

  • Copper mine unit cash costs guided at $2.03/lb for 2026, with higher input costs in Africa due to regional conflict.

  • Industrial capex (excluding copper growth) forecast at $6.8 billion per annum for 2026–2028, up 5% due to inflation.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
