Anglo American Full Year Results 2025

20 February, 2026

Portfolio progress highlights quality of Copper and Premium Iron Ore business performance

  • A transformational year of portfolio optimisation and strategic progress to merge with Teck, unlocking material value for shareholders
  • Strong production and cost performance from continuing operations, delivering:
    • Underlying EBITDA* of $6.4 billion (2024: $6.3 billion)
    • EBITDA margins* of 49% in Copper and 43% in Premium Iron Ore
  • $1.8 billion of run-rate cost savings delivered on schedule by the end of 2025
  • Strong cash conversion* for continuing operations at 107% with further reductions in working capital delivered
  • Net debt* decreased to $8.6 billion (2024: $10.6 billion) reflecting proceeds from sale of residual Valterra Platinum shareholding, with proceeds from planned divestments expected to support further deleveraging
  • Loss attributable to equity shareholders of $3.7 billion – including a pre-tax impairment of $2.3 billion relating to De Beers
  • $0.2 billion total cash dividends, equal to $0.23 per share, consistent with our 40% payout policy

Duncan Wanblad, CEO of Anglo American, said: “2025 was a transformational year for Anglo American as we progressed our portfolio simplification and set the course for the future of our company by agreeing to merge with Teck to form a global critical minerals champion – as Anglo Teck. In parallel, we continued to accelerate delivery of our own strategic priorities of operational excellence, portfolio optimisation and growth, making great strides during the year and unlocking material value for our shareholders.

“I am delighted with the continued strong operational and cost performance in Copper and Premium Iron Ore in 2025, with improved underlying EBITDA in both businesses. Underlying EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $6.4 billion, reflecting our unwavering focus on cost discipline and operational excellence, while also hitting our targeted $1.8 billion cost savings run-rate. We are continuing to strengthen our balance sheet, driven by the early proceeds from our portfolio optimisation and our continued focus on cash conversion.

“Safety is our number one value and our first priority, always. We saw further improvement in key leading safety indicators, with a continuation of the downward trend in injury frequency, recording our lowest ever rate in 2025. I am, however, sorry to report that we lost two colleagues following accidents in Brazil and Zimbabwe, in the first half of the year. We extend our sincerest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues and we will be relentless in our efforts to create a workplace where everyone returns home safely.

“We are committed to seeing our portfolio changes through to their conclusion, following the successful demerger of Valterra Platinum in May and the sale of our residual holding in the business in September. We continue to progress the sale of our Steelmaking Coal business, the agreed sale of our Nickel business is moving through regulatory approval, and we are progressing the separation of De Beers.

“Our merger agreement to form Anglo Teck marks a defining moment in our long history – a compelling combination that is designed to unlock significant value both in the near and long term, while offering our shareholders more than 70% exposure to copper. Having received Investment Canada Act approval in December, following overwhelming support from both companies' shareholders, we continue to secure key regulatory approvals ahead of being in a position to deliver the exceptional value that we have identified as we take shape as a critical minerals powerhouse.”

Stuart Chambers, Chair of Anglo American, commented: “On behalf of the Board, I commend the entire leadership team and all our employees, led by Duncan, for an exceptional year of strategic delivery on so many fronts. Shareholders have benefited from considerable returns as the inherent value of Anglo American is brought to the fore, including via the successful demerger of Valterra Platinum. The progress to simplify our portfolio, in parallel with agreeing the merger with Teck and progressing the transaction so quickly and with such overwhelming shareholder support, together highlight the determination and energy with which we have been repositioning Anglo American to the forefront of our industry in terms of value-accretive growth.”

Notes:
Anglo American is a leading global mining company focused on the responsible production of copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients – future-enabling products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving living standards, and food security. Our portfolio of world-class operations and outstanding mineral endowments offers value-accretive growth potential across all three businesses, positioning us to deliver into structurally attractive major demand growth trends.

Our integrated approach to sustainability and innovation drives our decision-making across the value chain, from how we discover new resources to how we mine, process, move and market our products to our customers – safely, efficiently and responsibly. Our Sustainability Strategy commits us to a series of stretching goals over different time horizons to ensure we build trust as a corporate leader, contribute to a healthy environment and help create thriving communities. We work together with our business partners and diverse stakeholders to unlock enduring value from precious natural resources for our shareholders, for the benefit of the communities and countries in which we operate, and for society as a whole. Anglo American is re-imagining mining to improve people’s lives.

Anglo American is currently implementing a number of major structural changes to unlock the inherent value in its portfolio and thereby accelerate delivery of its strategic priorities of Operational excellence, Portfolio optimisation, and Growth. The sale of our steelmaking coal and nickel businesses and the separation of our iconic diamond business (De Beers) continue to progress and once completed, will focus Anglo American on its world-class resource asset base in copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “aim”, “project”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “target” and words of similar meaning. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Anglo American or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Anglo American’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which Anglo American will operate in the future. Important factors that could cause Anglo American’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, levels of actual production during any period, levels of global demand and product prices, unanticipated downturns in business relationships with customers or their purchases from Anglo American, mineral resource exploration and project development capabilities and delivery, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, safety, health or environmental incidents, the ability to identify, consummate and integrate pending or potential acquisitions, disposals, investments, mergers, demergers, syndications, joint ventures or other transactions, the effects of global pandemics and outbreaks of infectious diseases, the impact of attacks from third parties on our information systems, natural catastrophes or adverse geological conditions, climate change and extreme weather events, the outcome of litigation or regulatory proceedings, the availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to obtain key inputs in a timely manner, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the availability of necessary infrastructure (including transportation) services, the development, efficacy and adoption of new or competing technology, challenges in realising resource estimates or discovering new economic mineralisation, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit, liquidity and counterparty risks, the effects of inflation, terrorism, war, conflict, political or civil unrest, uncertainty, tensions and disputes and economic and financial conditions around the world, evolving societal and stakeholder requirements and expectations, shortages of skilled employees, unexpected difficulties relating to acquisitions or divestitures, competitive pressures and the actions of competitors, activities by courts, regulators and governmental authorities such as in relation to permitting or forcing closure of mines and ceasing of operations or maintenance of Anglo American’s assets and changes in taxation or safety, health, environmental or other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo American operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and such other risk factors identified in Anglo American’s most recent Annual Report. Forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such risk factors, and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. Anglo American expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, rules or regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Anglo American’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
