Summarised Interim Financial Results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and Notice of Dividend
Anglo American Interim Results 2022
Portfolio quality supports underlying EBITDA of $8.7 billion
Financial highlights for the six months ended 30 June 2022
- Underlying EBITDA* of $8.7 billion
- Profit attributable to equity shareholders of $3.7 billion
- Net debt* of $4.9 billion (0.3 x annualised underlying EBITDA): cash generation partially offset by investment in asset
resilience and growth
- $1.5 billion interim dividend, equal to $1.24 per share, consistent with our 40% payout policy
- Quellaveco commissioned on time and on budget: multi-decade new copper operation expected to produce 300,000 copper
equivalent tonnes per year on average over first 10 years
- Basic headline earnings per share of $3.02 compared to $4.22 in the prior comparative period
Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Anglo American's differentiated combination of portfolio quality and
growth optionality, underpinned by our operating model and innovation track record, continues to position us strongly through the
current market volatility and longer term cycle. Our unwavering focus is on driving consistent performance across our operations -
which starts with the safety and health of our employees - and progress towards our full suite of sustainability ambitions. As we
progressed through the first half, we began to regain operational momentum while also adjusting to the considerable challenges
posed by Covid-19 related absenteeism, disrupted supply chains and logistics corridors, weather extremes and geopolitically-led
economic volatility.
"Against that backdrop, we generated underlying EBITDA of $8.7 billion in the first six months, our second highest for a half year, albeit
a 28% decrease compared to the record first half of 2021. Attributable free cash flow of $1.6 billion was driven largely by strong prices
in the first quarter that declined towards the end of the period in tandem with increasing cost inflation. Despite those headwinds and
our operational challenges, in steelmaking coal and iron ore in particular, that reduced our planned production output, our return on
capital employed of 36% stayed well above our targeted 15% through-the-cycle return and our mining EBITDA margin remained at a
healthy 52%. Our commitment to capital discipline and to a strong and flexible balance sheet is paramount to remain resilient to the
external environment and retain optionality for value-adding growth. At the end of June, net debt of $4.9 billion, or 0.3 x annualised
underlying EBITDA, reflects the cash generation of the business, partially offset by our investments in our existing assets and future
growth. Our $1.5 billion interim dividend of $1.24 per share is in line with our 40% payout policy.
"We continue to make progress on our long term safety journey. There is no doubt, however, that the operational changes necessary
to help protect the health of our employees during the last two years require us to apply additional targeted effort to regain our
momentum of continuous improvement. I am also sad to report that we lost one colleague in March in an equipment lifting incident
in Australia. It is simply unacceptable to lose a life at work and we are determined to eliminate workplace fatalities once and for all.
This is my number one priority. Looking ahead, growing the value of our business by progressing asset development options is the
foundation of our organic margin-enhancing volume growth potential of 30%(1) over the next decade. More than a third of this growth
comes from our newly commissioned Quellaveco copper operation. With our customer proposition almost entirely oriented around
future-enabling metals and minerals, we are well positioned to play a critical role in the decarbonisation of global energy and transport
systems, alongside good progress in meeting our own ambitious emissions targets, thereby delivering enhanced value for our
shareholders and stakeholders across society."
