  • Net profit after tax surged 110% to $766.6 million (1H FY25: $365.1 million)

  • Net mine cash flow up 151% to $1.09 billion

What else do investors need to know?

Evolution Mining's strong financial performance was largely driven by consistently high gold and copper production and higher commodity prices. Commissioning of the expanded Mungari mill in Western Australia was completed 15% under budget, supporting increased production across the Group's six operating mines.

The company maintained its commitment to cost discipline, with Group all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance improved by 6%. FY26 production guidance remains on track, despite a short-term weather-related interruption at the Ernest Henry mine. Evolution also approved new growth projects at Northparkes (E22 block cave) and Ernest Henry (Bert) to underpin future production.

On the sustainability front, Evolution continues to aim for Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with a 30% reduction target by 2030. The company released its latest sustainability and modern slavery reports, and maintained sector-leading ESG ratings.

What's next for Evolution Mining?

Looking ahead, Evolution Mining is focused on delivering FY26 production targets and progressing major capital projects, including mine expansions at Cowal and Northparkes. The company expects a stronger cash flow in the second half, assisted by higher prevailing gold prices compared to its first-half realised price.

Further development of growth projects and disciplined capital management remain priorities. The Board has committed to returning value to shareholders via regular dividends and a continued focus on sustainability initiatives as it advances its project pipeline.
