News Anglo American reports 48% increase in profit

Anglo American reports 48% increase in profit

US: Anglo American plc has reported 48% growth in its first half of 2014 pre-tax profit. Its underlying operating profit declined as revenues were hurt by lower commodity prices, despite increased production. Anglo American has also signed a binding agreement for the sale of its 50% stake in the Lafarge Tarmac Holdings Ltd joint venture in the UK for at least US$1.50bn.

During the first half of 2014, Anglo American's pre-tax profit climbed to US$2.95bn from US$1.99bn in the same period of 2013. Special items and re-measurements, including the attributable share of associates and joint ventures and after tax and non-controlling interests, amounted to a gain of US$180m, compared to a loss of US$847m in 2013. Underlying earnings were US$1.28bn, some 3% higher than the US$1.25bn that was reported in the same period of 2013.

Underlying operating profit fell by 10% to US$2.93bn from US$3.26bn in 2013. Lower realised prices of commodities resulted in a reduction of US$1bn in underlying operating profit. Group revenue, including associates and joint ventures, declined slightly to US$16.1bn from US$16.2bn in 2013, which was attributed to a drop in many commodity prices, continuing weak global economic growth and increases in seaborne commodity supply.

"As we look at the global economic outlook, uncertainty is likely to persist for the balance of 2014, though there are some encouraging signs that activity is strengthening in our key markets," said Anglo American's CEO Mark Cutifani said. "Over the long term, we expect new supply to be constrained and to see tightening market fundamentals and a recovery in price performance."
