HMS Bergbau AG, a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Berlin, has announced strong financial results for the first half of 2026 and will host a webcast to present its half-year figures. The company invites investors and media representatives to a video conference with its Management Board on 8 October 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CET, conducted in German. CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will discuss the financial ratios and current developments, followed by a Q&A session. Participants can register via a link provided in the original announcement, which was first reported by NEWMEDIAWIRE.
In the first half of 2026, HMS increased its revenue from EUR 0.64 billion to EUR 1.1 billion on an IFRS basis, while EBITDA including one-off items rose from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million. These one-off items, totaling EUR 8.4 million, stemmed 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. The company attributed the positive growth momentum particularly to its traditional bulk commodities business and the liquid fuels and lubricants business established in 2025.
The full 2026 half-year report is available for download on the company’s website, www.hms-ag.com, under the Investor Relations section. This announcement matters because it underscores HMS’s ability to significantly scale its operations and profitability despite a challenging global commodities environment. The doubling of revenue and the near-tripling of EBITDA highlight the success of the company’s diversification strategy, including its expansion into liquid fuels and its move into mining production through the Hoshoza Resources Vryheid consolidation.
