HMS Bergbau AG, a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, has invited investors and media representatives to a video conference on 8 October 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CET to present its financial results for the first half of 2026. The event, to be held in German, will feature CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir, who will discuss the company's performance and current developments, followed by a Q&A session. Registration for the webcast is available through the link provided in the original announcement: https://www.appairtime.com/event/848c0200-5981-4c96-af69-34d6e5dfd22c.
The half-year figures reveal a substantial increase in revenue, rising from EUR 0.64 billion in the prior-year period to EUR 1.1 billion, an increase of approximately 72%. EBITDA also saw a sharp rise, from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million on an IFRS basis, including one-off items. These one-off items, totaling EUR 8.4 million, stem from the first-time consolidation of the mining company Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for these effects, operating EBITDA stood at EUR 14.1 million, still representing significant growth over the previous year's EUR 8.4 million. The company attributes this positive momentum to its traditional bulk commodities business and its liquid fuels and lubricants segment, which was established in 2025. The full half-year report is available for download on the company's website, www.hms-ag.com, under the Investor Relations section.
The invitation to the webcast and the preliminary figures underscore HMS Bergbau AG's expanding role in global commodity markets. The company's core business involves international trade in commodities such as coal products, liquid fuels, ores, and cement, as well as increasing involvement in commodity production through majority and minority holdings in mining companies. Its customers include renowned international industrial companies, energy traders, and producers, who are supplied worldwide and on schedule. With activities spanning Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America, HMS Bergbau AG has direct access to high-quality commodity reserves and an extensive global network.
The significant revenue and EBITDA growth in the first half of 2026 highlights the company's ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions and expand its business lines. The integration of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid marks a strategic move into mining production, which could provide long-term benefits and further diversify revenue streams. Investors and analysts will be keen to hear more details during the webcast, including management's outlook for the remainder of the year and the potential for continued growth. The event provides an opportunity for stakeholders to gain deeper insight into HMS Bergbau AG's performance and strategic direction. For those unable to attend, the full half-year report will be available on the company's website. The original release can be viewed on www.newmediawire.com.
