HMS Bergbau AG, a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Berlin, 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. CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir will discuss the company's performance and current developments, followed by a Q&A session. The event will be held in German.
The invitation comes on the heels of impressive financial growth. In the first half of 2026, HMS increased its revenue from EUR 0.64 billion to EUR 1.1 billion under IFRS, while EBITDA including one-off items rose from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million. One-off items totalling EUR 8.4 million resulted 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 momentum particularly 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. Investors and analysts can register for the webcast via the following link: https://www.appairtime.com/event/848c0200-5981-4c96-af69-34d6e5dfd22c.
This announcement is significant for several reasons. The substantial revenue and EBITDA growth demonstrate HMS Bergbau's resilience and ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions in the commodities sector. The doubling of revenue underscores the company's expanding global footprint and its successful diversification into liquid fuels and lubricants. The one-off gain from the Hoshoza Resources Vryheid consolidation highlights HMS's strategic move into mining production, which could lead to more stable supply chains and higher margins in the future. For investors, these results signal strong operational execution and potential for continued growth, making the upcoming webcast a key event for assessing the company's trajectory.
Moreover, HMS Bergbau's performance is a bellwether for the broader commodities trading industry, which has faced volatility in recent years. The company's success in both traditional and new business lines suggests that demand for commodities remains robust, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Europe where HMS operates. As the global economy transitions to cleaner energy, HMS's involvement in liquid fuels and lubricants positions it to benefit from ongoing demand while it continues to supply essential raw materials like coal and ores. The webcast will provide further insights into how HMS plans to sustain this momentum and navigate potential challenges.

The webcast is expected to draw significant attention from the investment community as HMS Bergbau continues to solidify its position as a key player in the global commodities market.
