The half-year results reveal a substantial improvement in HMS’s financial performance. Revenue increased from EUR 0.64 billion to EUR 1.1 billion (IFRS), representing a growth of approximately 72%. EBITDA (IFRS; including one-off items) rose from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million. These one-off items, totaling 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, still a notable increase from the previous year. The growth was driven particularly by the traditional bulk commodities business and the liquid fuels and lubricants business established in 2025.
The implications of these figures are significant. The near-doubling of revenue indicates that HMS is capitalizing on favorable market conditions and expanding its trading volumes. The integration of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid marks a strategic move into commodity production, which could provide a more stable earnings base and reduce reliance on trading margins. The positive momentum in liquid fuels and lubricants, a newer business line, demonstrates successful diversification and positions HMS to benefit from the global energy transition. These developments are likely to enhance investor confidence and support the company’s growth strategy.
