Remarkable Growth for Metlen Energy & Metals in H1 2025
Metlen Achieves Record H1 Turnover and Extraordinary Profitability
Metlen Energy & Metals has announced impressive financial results for the first half of 2025. Achieving a turnover of €3,608 million marks a 45% increase compared to €2,482 million during the same period in 2024.
Through this significant growth, the company showcases its strong momentum in both the Energy and Metals sectors. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) reached €445 million, a slight decline from €474 million in H1 2024 due to a one-off impact from their non-core M Power Projects segment. However, on a normalized basis, EBITDA could have been about €577 million if excluding that impact.
Insight into Financial Performance
The net profit after accounting for minority interests was €254 million compared to €282 million in H1 2024. The corresponding Earnings per Share came in at €1.81, down from €2.04 the previous year. Meanwhile, net debt stood at €2,016 million, adjusted to exclude non-recourse debt.
Overall, Metlen performed remarkably well in its Metals Sector and continued its positive growth trajectory in the Energy Sector, despite some challenges from the M Power Projects. The company’s ability to leverage operations and integrate efforts across sectors displayed their strength in navigating a volatile market landscape.
