Copper Ores | 6.32B | 835.1M | 0.8471 | 26.24 | 21.92B |
By Carlo Martuscelli
Antofagasta PLC (ANTO.LN) said Tuesday that its first-half Ebitda fell 16% as production decreased and costs increased, but it backed its full-year outlook.
The miner said earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30 were $904.2 million, down from $1.08 billion the previous year. The company attributed the decrease to higher unit-production costs.
Analysts at Jefferies expected the company to report Ebitda of $1.06 billion for the first half.
First-half copper production fell 8.5% to 317,000 metric tons. It attributed the decrease to lower grades of ore mined, as well as a pipeline blockage.
Interim net profit was $194.3 million, down from $290.5 million a year earlier, on revenue that rose 3.6% to $2.12 billion, as higher copper prices helped offset lower sales volumes.
The company declared a dividend of 6.8 cents per share for the period.
Antofagasta backed its full-year outlook, and said it believes a stronger second half will offset a weaker first half. Copper production guidance for the full year is at between 705,000 tons and 740,000 tons at $1.35 a pound.
