Overview

Strong performance of the ElvalHalcor Group in the first half of 2025, despite the adverse geopolitical environment. Volumes are continuously increasing, especially in the aluminium sector, leveraging the new capacity after the conclusion of our investment program. Respectively, consolidated revenue for the first half of 2025 amounted to EUR 1,862.0 million, representing an increase of 8.0% compared to EUR 1,723.6 million in H1'24, supported, also, by higher LME prices.

LME metal prices recorded a notable increase during the first quarter of the fiscal year, followed by a deescalation in late March amid concerns over potential trade tariffs. For the remainder of the period up to June 30, 2025, prices demonstrated a modest upward trend. The average price of aluminium stood at EUR 2,331/tn in H1'25, compared to EUR 2,181/tn in H1'24, i.e. higher by 6.9%. The average price of copper was EUR 8,641/tn versus EUR 8,410/tn in the respective prior year period, an increase of 2.7%, while the average price of zinc was EUR 2,516/tn in H1'25 versus EUR 2,442 /tn in H1'24, an increase of 3.1%.

Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, metal result, and other exceptional items (a-EBITDA), which better reflect the Group's operational profitability, increased by 18.1%, reaching EUR 134.4 million in H1'25 versus EUR 113.8 million in the respective prior year period. This performance, despite the higher energy costs, was driven by higher sales volumes, higher conversion prices and a favourable sales mix.

Consolidated gross profit amounted to EUR 165.2 million in H1'25 versus EUR 141.2 million in H1'24, while consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at EUR 139.0 million compared to EUR 115.1 million in H1'24, with accounting metal results staying at the same level, at a profit of EUR 7.0 million.

The significant reduction in the Group's net debt by EUR 111.4 million, from 30.06.2024, along with the lower interest rates, resulted in a 23.3% decrease in the net financial cost to EUR 18.0 million in H1'25, from EUR 23.5 million in H1'24. The debt reduction was achieved through strong profitability, optimization of the working capital, and limited CAPEX.

Finally, consolidated profits after tax stood at EUR 74.0 million in Η1'25 versus EUR 51.0 million in Η1'24. Consolidated profit after tax and non-controlling interest amounted to EUR 70.9 million in Η1'25 or (EUR 0.1891 per share), compared to EUR 46.9 million in the respective period of the prior year (or EUR 0.1250 per share).
