According to Chief Executive Officer Paul Flynn, scale and diversity are delivering value in metallurgical coal. Consequently, the company is well positioned to benefit from the dynamics of both the metallurgical and high-CV thermal coal markets.
Despite a 19% drop in average prices to A$189/tonne and lower costs to A$135/tonne, the company still delivered half-year FY2026 EBITDA of $446 million. Cash from operations totaled $387 million in the period. The company is set to return up to $32 million in capital through an interim dividend of 4 cents. It also plans to buy back shares of par value in the next six months.
“We are on track to deliver well within our FY26 guidance ranges for production, sales and costs. And we are on track to deliver more value from our strong cost management focus – including our current $60 to $80 million cost-out program – and stronger coal prices as well as increased returns to our shareholders,” Flynn said.
