Duncan Wanblad, CEO of Anglo American, said: "2025 was a transformational year for Anglo American as we progressed our portfolio simplification and set the course for the future of our company by agreeing to merge with Teck to form a global critical minerals champion - as Anglo Teck. In parallel, we continued to accelerate delivery of our own strategic priorities of operational excellence, portfolio optimisation and growth, making great strides during the year and unlocking material value for our shareholders.

"I am delighted with the continued strong operational and cost performance in Copper and Premium Iron Ore in 2025, with improved underlying EBITDA in both businesses. Underlying EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $6.4 billion, reflecting our unwavering focus on cost discipline and operational excellence, while also hitting our targeted $1.8 billion cost savings run-rate. We are continuing to strengthen our balance sheet, driven by the early proceeds from our portfolio optimisation and our continued focus on cash conversion.

"Safety is our number one value and our first priority, always. We saw further improvement in key leading safety indicators, with a continuation of the downward trend in injury frequency, recording our lowest ever rate in 2025. I am, however, sorry to report that we lost two colleagues following accidents in Brazil and Zimbabwe, in the first half of the year. We extend our sincerest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues and we will be relentless in our efforts to create a workplace where everyone returns home safely.

"We are committed to seeing our portfolio changes through to their conclusion, following the successful demerger of Valterra Platinum in May and the sale of our residual holding in the business in September. We continue to progress the sale of our Steelmaking Coal business, the agreed sale of our Nickel business is moving through regulatory approval, and we are progressing the separation of De Beers.

Stuart Chambers, Chair of Anglo American, commented: "On behalf of the Board, I commend the entire leadership team and all our employees, led by Duncan, for an exceptional year of strategic delivery on so many fronts. Shareholders have benefited from considerable returns as the inherent value of Anglo American is brought to the fore, including via the successful demerger of Valterra Platinum. The progress to simplify our portfolio, in parallel with agreeing the merger with Teck and progressing the transaction so quickly and with such overwhelming shareholder support, together highlight the determination and energy with which we have been repositioning Anglo American to the forefront of our industry in terms of value-accretive growth."

Anglo American tracks its strategic progress using KPIs that are based on our seven pillars of value: safety and health, financial, cost, environment, people, production and socio-political. In addition to the financial and cost performance set out above and our operational performance on pages 19-34, our performance for the remaining four pillars is set out below, with further detail on pages 13-16.

Production volumes decreased by 5% on a copper equivalent basis compared to the prior year, reflecting lower production at Copper Chile and De Beers.

Copper production decreased by 10%, primarily reflecting lower ore grades and copper recovery at Collahuasi. Los Bronces was impacted by lower plant throughput as a result of the smaller Los Bronces processing plant being put on care and maintenance at the end of July 2024 as planned, partially offset by higher ore grade and higher copper recoveries from improved plant performance. This was partly offset by Copper Peru, reflecting strong plant performance and higher throughput year-on-year.

Premium iron ore production was flat, with Kumba production increasing marginally by 1%, while strong operational performance at Minas-Rio enabled broadly flat production levels despite a 23-day planned pipeline shutdown for inspection activities.

Manganese production increased by 30%, reflecting more normalised production levels following the impact of the temporary suspension caused by tropical cyclone Megan in March 2024.

At De Beers, mining operations delivered solid operational performance at lower output levels, as the business produced into prevailing demand. Consequently, rough diamond production reduced by 12%.

For operational information on each Business' production and unit cost performance, please refer to the following pages 32-34.

Continuing operations underlying EBITDA* increased by 2% to $6.4 billion driven by $1.0 billion favourable realised price benefits from copper and premium iron ore, and the delivery of our $1.8 billion cost-out programme, including an additional $0.6 billion gross cost savings realised in 2025, slightly ahead of plan. This offset $0.5 billion lower EBITDA from De Beers due to continuing challenging trading conditions and mitigated the impacts of lower sales volumes at Collahuasi (Copper Chile), as well as inflation and foreign exchange movements. This resulted in EBITDA Margin* broadly in line with prior year at 33%. As a consequence, continuing operations contributed $0.9 billion to total Group underlying earnings of $0.6 billion.

Cash flow was supported by the release of $0.6 billion of working capital primarily through inventory management, as well as proceeds from the accelerated bookbuild offering for the Group's remaining shareholding in Valterra Platinum, net proceeds on disposal of Jellinbah and lower capital expenditure. This reduced net debt by $2.1 billion to $8.6 billion.

Underlying EBITDA increased by $0.1 billion to $6.4 billion (2024: $6.3 billion). Financial results benefited from the favourable copper and premium iron ore realised prices, combined with the realisation of embedded cost reductions from the prior year and the delivery of the transformation programme in 2025. Despite these benefits, the higher earnings were partially offset by the ongoing challenging rough diamond trading conditions at De Beers, alongside lower sales at Copper Chile, driven by the lower production, to support an EBITDA margin* of 33% (2024: 34%). Our ongoing focus on cost control and cash generation has positioned us well as we execute our strategy. A reconciliation of 'Profit before net finance costs and tax', the closest equivalent IFRS measure to underlying EBITDA, is provided within note 4 to the Condensed financial statements.

The reconciliation of underlying EBITDA from $6.3 billion in 2024 to $6.4 billion in 2025 shows the major controllable factors (e.g. cost and volume), as well as those outside of management control (e.g. price, foreign exchange and inflation), that drive the Group's performance.

Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenging in 2025. The consequential impact of the lower average rough price index and stock rebalancing initiatives had a significant impact on earnings, resulting in underlying EBITDA decreasing by $0.5 billion, further impacted by a one-off benefit during the prior year from the sale of a non-diamond royalty right.

Excluding the impact of De Beers, average market prices for the continuing Group's basket of products increased by 2% compared with 2024. This was driven by a 9% increase in the copper market price, partially offset by a 6% reduction in the iron ore market price. In terms of underlying EBITDA, price had a favourable $1.0 billion impact compared to 2024, driven by a 14% increase in the weighted average realised price for copper and a 4% increase in the weighted average realised price for premium iron ore. Differences in the market price to realised price are largely due to favourable provisional pricing impacts benefiting both Copper and Premium Iron Ore, as well as lower freight rates benefiting Premium Iron Ore.

Unfavourable foreign exchange reduced underlying EBITDA by $0.1 billion, primarily reflecting the impact of the stronger South African rand on the allocated cost base.

The Group's weighted average CPI was 4% in 2025, broadly in line with the prior year. The impact of CPI inflation on costs reduced underlying EBITDA by $0.2 billion.

Lower sales volumes impacted underlying EBITDA by $0.3 billion, due to lower production at Copper Chile.

Lower costs improved underlying EBITDA by $0.6 billion. Driven by gross cost savings of $0.6 billion from the realisation of $0.3 billion run-rate benefits embedded in 2024 including operational and corporate cost savings, as well as a further $0.3 billion from the substantial completion of our Corporate and head-office transformation programme in 2025. These gross cost savings were partially offset by $0.2 billion of headwinds primarily at Collahuasi related to stripping as development work continued towards sustainably higher-grade areas of the mine. A further $0.2 billion benefit primarily arose from lower treatment and refining charges in Copper.

The $0.4 billion unfavourable movement was largely driven by the movement year-on-year in the long term rehabilitation provisions at Copper Chile.

Group underlying earnings decreased to $0.9 billion (2024: $1.3 billion), driven by higher finance costs and depreciation as well as the impacts of the earnings mix on income tax expense and non-controlling interests.

Depreciation and amortisation increased 4% to $2.4 billion (2024: $2.3 billion), driven by projects completed at Copper Chile during the second half of 2024.

Net finance costs, before special items and remeasurements, were $0.6 billion (2024: $0.4 billion), with the increase mainly driven by net foreign exchange losses, primarily on derivative instruments.

The underlying effective tax rate was higher than the prior year at 51.5% (2024: 46.1% (re-presented)), impacted by the relative levels of profits arising in the Group's operating jurisdictions and losses in certain businesses, most notably De Beers, for which no or limited tax benefit has been recognised. Excluding De Beers, the underlying effective tax rate was 39.1%. The tax charge for the year, before special items and remeasurements, was $1.8 billion (2024: $1.6 billion).

The share of underlying earnings attributable to non-controlling interests was $0.8 billion (2024: $0.6 billion). This is driven by higher earnings in Copper and Premium Iron Ore and partially offset by an increased loss in De Beers.

Underlying earnings from discontinued operations were significantly lower driven by the successful demerger of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) in May 2025 compared to a full year of earnings in 2024, as well as the sales volume impacts in Steelmaking Coal due to the sale of Jellinbah at the end of 2024, the suspension of Grosvenor from July 2024 and the underground incident at Moranbah North in March 2025 as well as lower realised prices. Due to the lower earnings, tax and non-controlling interests were both consequently lower.

Special items and remeasurements (after tax and non-controlling interests) from continuing operations were a net charge of $2.1 billion (2024: net charge of $4.5 billion). This principally related to an impairment within De Beers of $2.3 billion ($1.8 billion after tax and non-controlling interests) and restructuring costs related to the Group's strategic change programme of $0.1 billion.

Full details of the special items and remeasurements recorded are included in note 12 to the Condensed financial statements.

Net debt (including related derivatives) of $8.6 billion has decreased by $2.1 billion from 31 December 2024. Net debt at 31 December 2025 represented gearing (net debt to total capital) of 26% (31 December 2024: 27%). The net debt to EBITDA ratio on a continuing basis decreased to 1.3x (31 December 2024: 1.7x), principally as a result of proceeds from the accelerated bookbuild offering for the Group's remaining shareholding in Valterra Platinum in September 2025, cash received from the Jellinbah disposal, as well as lower capital expenditure and continued working capital management.

Cash flows from operations remained flat at $7.0 billion (2024: $6.9 billion), as a lower working capital inflow of $0.6 billion (2024: inflow of $1.5 billion) was offset by improved other cash flows from operations inflows of $0.2 billion (2024: $0.7 billion outflow) driven by provision movements in Copper Chile and timing of derivative settlements. Within working capital, the movement is driven by a $0.7 billion inventory inflow predominantly as a result of stock rebalancing initiatives at De Beers. A receivables outflow of $0.9 billion was driven by high copper prices impacting amounts to be received on sales, including provisional price adjustments. This was largely offset by a payables inflow of $0.8 billion driven by higher amounts due on third-party copper purchases.

These factors, combined with lower sustaining capital expenditure and repayments of lease obligations, contributed to the Group's cash conversion increasing to 107% (2024: 98%).

⁽¹⁾ Comparative figures are re-presented to exclude results from discontinued operations, see note 8.

Growth capital expenditure was lower at $0.6 billion (2024: $1.1 billion), due to planned lower spend at Woodsmith. Growth capital expenditure primarily relates to spend on the Woodsmith project (Crop Nutrients), the first phase of the Collahuasi debottlenecking initiative (Copper Chile) and Kumba's ultra-high-dense-media-separation (UHDMS) project (Premium Iron Ore).

The Group's attributable free cash flow was an inflow of $0.8 billion (2024: $0.2 billion outflow). The improved results principally reflects lower capex of $3.3 billion (2024: $3.9 billion) and lower net interest of $0.7 billion (2024: $0.9 billion).

In addition to the movements in attributable free cash flow, the total movement in net debt was impacted by dividends to Anglo American plc shareholders, disposals, foreign exchange and fair value movements and other net debt movements. The dividend paid to Anglo American plc shareholders reduced to $0.3 billion (2024: $1.0 billion), driven by a reduction in underlying earnings.

In line with the Group's established dividend policy to pay out 40% of underlying earnings, the Board has proposed a final dividend of 40% of second half underlying earnings, equal to $0.16 per share (2024: $0.22 per share), equivalent to $0.17 billion (2024: $0.27 billion).

Net assets decreased by $4.4 billion to $24.1 billion (31 December 2024: $28.5 billion), driven by the demerger of net assets of $5.6 billion from the PGMs business, as well as an impairment of $2.3 billion ($1.8 billion after tax and non-controlling interests) recognised for the year ended 31 December 2025 at De Beers.

Attributable ROCE remained flat at 12% (2024: 12%) with strong performance in Copper and Premium Iron Ore, offset by the losses in De Beers. Attributable underlying EBIT decreased to $2.6 billion (2024: $2.8 billion), reflecting higher depreciation and changes in the earnings mix. Average attributable capital employed decreased to $22.3 billion (2024: $24.1 billion), primarily due to the impact from the impairment recognised in De Beers in the current year.

Consequently, the weighted average maturity on the Group's bonds increased to 8.1 years (2024: 7.6 years).

Anglo American continues to evolve its portfolio of competitive, world-class assets towards those future-enabling products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving living standards, and supporting food security.

Growth projects (metrics presented on a 100% basis unless otherwise indicated)

Anglo American's longstanding and holistic approach to sustainability helps to build trust with our employees and stakeholders across society, reduces operational risk and delivers direct financial value for our business. Our reputation as a responsible mining company supports our ability to access future resource development opportunities, both from the significant endowments within our business and more broadly - critical to delivering our growth ambitions.

Our 2025 progress against our Sustainable Mining Plan targets is set out below.

It is with deep sadness that we report the loss of life of two colleagues at our managed operations. In February 2025, Edvan de Jesus Pinto Bogea, a mechanical-assembly contractor, died following a fall from height during construction work at our Minas-Rio mine in Brazil. In April, Felix Kore was fatally injured while operating an underground load haul dump machine at Unki mine, part of our former Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) business, in Zimbabwe. Both incidents were investigated by specialist teams, independent of the operations, and actions agreed to mitigate the risks identified.

In 2025, we continued to demonstrate progress in our safety journey, recording our lowest TRIFR of 1.26 in 2025 (2024: 1.57). We also reported a 16% improvement in the 2025 lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) to 0.89 (2024: 1.06). This improvement in our lagging metrics reflects the operational rigour and progressive maturity of our operational safety processes.

We recorded 217 occupational injuries, a decrease of 41% (2024: 369). We remain absolutely committed to working towards a step-change in the reduction of injuries and are continuing to implement our targeted safety strategy, investing in systems and technology, standards, and training our people.

Our commitment to safety is unwavering, and these results reflect the strength of our systems, our people, and our leadership. We remain focused on continuous improvement to ensure a safe and sustainable operating environment.

We are dedicated to safeguarding our people from harm. In 2025, our focus was on driving compliance with Technical Standards through timely closure of critical safety actions, a sustained focus on leaders spending time in the field and oversight and disciplined execution of planned work enhancing operational reliability.

In 2025, there were 16 reported new cases of occupational disease, of which 15 were related to noise exposure and one was a respirable disease (2024: 19, of which 18 were related to noise exposure and one was musculoskeletal). A key challenge in understanding trends in occupational disease reporting is that many hazards do not cause immediately detectable health harms, with most occupational diseases not clinically definable until many years post exposure.

This means disease cases reported in a given year are not a reliable measure of current working conditions, but rather reflect accumulated and/or past working conditions and exposures over a worker's career. This is termed 'latency of presentation'.

These characteristic delays in occupational disease case presentation underscore the importance of prevention. This means ongoing proactive and robust environment monitoring, comprehensive worker education and health surveillance, conducting regular risk assessments, and rigorous control of hazard exposures. Reducing exposure to all known workplace hazards remains an ongoing focus at Anglo American, aligned with our zero-harm mindset.

We continue to make progress in reducing our operational emissions, with our 2025 Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions of 6.3 Mt CO₂e being 14% lower than in 2024. This equates to a 32% reduction compared with the 2016 baseline on which our existing 2030 target is set. For comparability, all figures referenced here, including our baseline, exclude emissions related to our PGMs business which we demerged in May 2025. When including five months of PGMs data, our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions total 7.9 Mt CO₂e.

Since 2023, our managed operations in South America have been supplied with 100% renewable electricity and from this year our managed operations in Australia moved to a 100% electricity supply linked to renewable sources, essentially eliminating all Scope 2 emissions from our Steelmaking Coal business. From this point, approximately 90% of the global grid supply for the current Anglo American portfolio was drawn from renewable sources.

We also continue to make progress towards addressing the largest remaining source of Scope 2 emissions - our electricity supply in southern Africa. In 2026, we expect 11 MW of the output of Envusa Energy's Koruson 2 cluster to be wheeled through to Kumba's Kolomela mine reducing the site's Scope 2 emissions by around 85%. On-site solar - totalling 63 MW - at our Sishen iron ore operation is also progressing well, with planned commercial operations in 2027, delivering an estimated 33% reduction in Sishen's Scope 2 emissions.

Methane emissions from our Australian steelmaking coal operations still represent the largest component of our current Scope 1 emissions and we continue to work hard to capture, use and abate those emissions. In 2025, methane emissions reduced by 0.5 Mt to 2.5 Mt CO₂e (2024: 3.0 Mt CO₂e). This reduction was a result of the impact of the stoppage of operations and subsequent cessation of active ventilation at our Grosvenor steelmaking coal operation following the underground gas ignition incident in June 2024, as well as continued improvements in the management of methane at all of our underground steelmaking coal operations.

For Scope 3, we continue to focus on portfolio choices, growth, partnerships and customer selection to achieve our ambitions. In 2025 our Scope 3 emissions were 136.6 Mt, a reduction of 20% when compared with 2024 (170.6 Mt). This figure includes emissions from our demerged PGMs business, which were not material to the overall total. The reduction in emissions was driven primarily by reduced production and sales of steelmaking coal in 2025 as a result of the temporary suspension of operations at Moranbah North Mine following a localised ignition incident on 31 March 2025 and the temporary sealing of Grosvenor Mine following an event in 2024. Additional reductions were driven by reduced category 15 emissions following the divestment of our stake in Jellinbah and lower reported emissions from the Manganese business.

While overall Group-wide water efficiency decreased to 85% in 2025 (2024: 86%), this was largely due to heavy precipitation and flooding at PGMs operations.

Beyond operational performance, we are committed to ensuring that the water resources we manage, and the savings achieved through reduced fresh water withdrawals, translate into increased water availability in ways that are socially equitable, environmentally sustainable, and economically beneficial. This approach underpins our long‑term water strategy and guides investment decisions across our operations.

At Los Bronces, construction of the Integrated Water Security Project progressed as planned throughout 2025. The project is expected to deliver desalinated water in 2026, including a supply of 25 litres per second to rural communities in Tiltil and Colina, with the potential to benefit approximately 10,000 people.

As custodians of the land and ecosystems around our operations, we seek to improve the footprint of our operations and deliver positive and lasting environmental outcomes for host communities and our stakeholders.

In 2025, we measured progress towards Net Positive Impact (NPI) using our Group-wide biodiversity metric - Quality Habitat Hectares (QHH). This provides a consistent, objective assessment of the extent and quality of ecosystems impacted in and around our operations enabling us to track both losses and gains over time.

Across the Group, a range of biodiversity and nature-positive activities progressed during the year, spanning conservation delivery, impact management and long-term stewardship. Sites advanced reforestation and habitat-restoration programmes, including riparian and wetland restoration, spring and watershed recovery, and the cultivation of native plant species in partnership with local communities and landholders. Biodiversity offset planning continued to support responsible site expansion and regulatory compliance, alongside assessments of residual impacts under Net Positive Impact (NPI) pathways.

During the year, we delivered a range of biodiversity projects across our operations, including large-scale land conservation at El Soldado and Minas-Rio, land restoration at Los Bronces, and connecting fragmented ecosystems at Kumba and Minas-Rio. In Chile, our Quilapilún Botanical Garden earned accreditation from Botanic Garden Conservation International - the highest standard for a botanic garden. At Quellaveco, feasibility studies and implementation planning for compensation and conservation progressed with support from academic and conservation partnerships.

Collectively, these initiatives contribute to species protection, ecosystem restoration, data sharing, and long term biodiversity resilience across landscapes.

In 2025, we completed a review of our Social Way assurance programme and piloted the revised approach at two of our sites with a team of independent and internal assessors. The updated process is more risk and outcomes focused, and aims to enable teams to prioritise their work to more effectively manage social impacts and risks and drive continuous improvement based on their context. This revised approach will be rolled out across our simplified portfolio from 2026 onwards.

Building on our work in Southern Africa, we have now established a strong presence in South America. We are in our third year of operation in Chile and our second year in Peru, and we are expanding the IFN into Brazil, where a pilot ran through to the end of 2025.

In 2025, we continued to strengthen our reputation as a trusted, reliable and responsible mining company, as well as being recognised for the ways in which we live our Values and are guided by our Purpose.

We strive to create a workplace that places people at its heart and are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse environment where every colleague is valued and respected for who they are, and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

By the end of 2025, female representation in our management population reached 36% (2024: 35%) and we are on track to meet our target of 40% by 2030. We have achieved 30% female representation on the ELT (2024: 25%). Female representation on the ELT plus those reporting to an ELT member, increased to 39% (2024: 34%). We continue to monitor other key performance metrics, such as the percentage of women in the overall workforce, which has increased to 27% in 2025 (2024: 26%).

We have actively worked with multi-stakeholder groups developing and adopting some of the most trusted sustainability certification programmes for the mining sector, including the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative (CMSI) and the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).

In 2018, we committed to assess all our managed mines against leading responsible mining standards by 2025. With the third-party audit against the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) standard at our Los Bronces and Quellaveco copper mines completed in December 2025, and the completion of Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) assessments at Moranbah North and Dawson mines, we are proud to say that we have delivered on this promise.

The success of our business is shared with a wide range of stakeholders, including national governments and host communities, through the significant corporate tax, mining tax and royalty payments that we make. Total taxes and royalties borne and taxes collected amounted to $3,738 million, a 5% decrease compared with the $3,950 million paid in the prior year.

Designed to be a flexible, living approach, we have updated our Sustainability Strategy to ensure that our sustainability ambitions support delivery of our corporate strategy and deliver tangible value for our business and many stakeholders.

Our updated strategy and targets are for our simplified portfolio and apply from 2026. It continues to be founded on three themes - Trusted Corporate Leader, Healthy Environment, and Thriving Communities - but with renewed areas of focus, concentrating our efforts where they matter most and tailored to what can make the biggest difference for host communities and the natural environment close to our operations.

The principles behind our updated approach are to ensure that we continue to protect and create value for our many stakeholders, while tailoring our longstanding sustainability commitments to a local and business-specific context.

To this end, in our updated Sustainability Strategy, we maintain Group-wide targets on Safety, Climate, Nature, and Livelihoods. We have localised Water, Health, and Education targets to prioritise local needs and maximise positive impact. We are maintaining our strong foundation in human rights and responsible mining and we will continue to use our global voice to advance the case for responsible mining across the industry.

Our updated ambitions and targets are set out below:

Changes during 2025 to the composition of the Board are set out below.

On 1 January 2025, Anne Wade joined the Board as a non-executive director and a member of the Board's Audit and Sustainability committees.

On 31 December 2025, Hixonia Nyasulu stepped down as a non-executive director of the Board, after six years of service to focus on her wider portfolio.

Anglo American is exposed to a variety of risks and uncertainties which may have a financial, operational or reputational impact on the Group, and which may also have an impact on the achievement of social, economic and environmental objectives.

Details of any key risks and uncertainties specific to the period are covered in the business reviews on pages 19-34. The principal risks facing the Group at the 2025 year end are set out in detail in the Strategic report section of the Integrated Annual Report 2025, to be published on the Group's website www.angloamerican.com, on 2 March 2026.

Copper production of 385,000 tonnes decreased by 17% (2024: 466,400 tonnes), primarily due to lower ore grades and copper recovery at Collahuasi.

At Los Bronces, production decreased by 5% to 164,600 tonnes (2024: 172,400 tonnes), primarily due to lower plant throughput as a result of the smaller Los Bronces processing plant being put on care and maintenance at the end of July 2024, partially offset by higher ore grade (0.52% vs 0.47%) and higher copper recoveries from improved plant performance.

At Collahuasi, Anglo American's attributable share of copper production decreased by 28% to 177,800 tonnes (2024: 245,800 tonnes), due to lower ore grade (0.90% vs 1.15%) as well as a higher than expected level of oxidisation in the stockpiles impacting copper recovery. This was partially offset by higher plant throughput as a result of improved water availability from the third quarter, as Collahuasi started receiving ultra-filtered sea water through the pipeline infrastructure of the new desalination plant.

Production at El Soldado decreased by 12% to 42,600 tonnes (2024: 48,200 tonnes), reflecting the planned lower grade (0.83% vs 0.94%) from processing lower grade stockpiles due to the transition between the mine phases.

The differences between the market price and the realised prices are largely a function of provisional pricing adjustments and the timing of sales across the year.

Underlying EBITDA for Copper increased by 5% to $3,983 million (2024: $3,805 million), driven by a higher copper price, offsetting the lower sales volumes.

Underlying EBITDA decreased by 19% to $1,658 million (2024: $2,049 million), primarily driven by higher unit costs, charges relating to long-term rehabilitation provisions and lower sales volumes. This was partially offset by higher copper prices. C1 unit costs increased by 10% to 199 c/lb (2024: 181 c/lb), reflecting the impact of lower production coupled with a shift in the production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi, partially offset by the benefit of higher by-product credits and lower treatment and refining charges.

Capital expenditure decreased by 4% to $1,117 million (2024: $1,161 million), driven by lower expenditure at Collahuasi on the desalination plant project.

Underlying EBITDA increased by 32% to $2,325 million (2024: $1,756 million), reflecting the benefit of higher copper prices and lower C1 unit costs. C1 unit costs decreased by 15% to 89 c/lb (2024: 105 c/lb), reflecting the benefit from lower treatment and refining charges, and strong management of mining costs to hold them flat despite higher mine movement and throughput.

Capital expenditure decreased by 14% to $377 million (2024: $437 million), reflecting the completion of several phases of the tailings management facility.

Los Bronces is a world-class copper deposit, accounting for more than 2% of the world's known copper resources. The mine is ahead of schedule on the development of Donoso 2, with this phase allowing wider access to higher-grade, softer ore. Development activities for this phase continue and it is expected to be fully opened by early 2027.

The improved mine flexibility, tight cost control and the strong copper price environment have enabled us to temporarily restart the second, smaller processing plant at Los Bronces. This allows for profitable production from the second plant until the infrastructure is needed for the removal of the Perez Caldera tailings storage facility, which is expected to start in 2027. The second plant is expected to produce an additional c.25,000 tonnes of profitable production in 2026.

The first phase of the Los Bronces integrated water security project is ongoing and will ramp up during 2026, securing a large portion of the mine's water needs through a desalinated water supply.

Beyond the near-term open-pit development that is under way, Anglo American remains committed to delivering long-term value through the Los Bronces and Andina joint mine plan to unlock an additional 2.7 million tonnes of copper production over a 21-year period, with c.15% lower unit costs relative to standalone operations and minimal incremental capital expenditure. Production under this joint plan is currently projected to commence in 2030⁽¹⁾, once relevant permits are in place.

The Los Bronces underground project offers further longer-dated expansion optionality.

Collahuasi is a world-class orebody with significant growth potential, accounting for more than 2% of the world´s known copper resources with over 2.6 billion tonnes of sulphide Ore Reserves at 0.96% TCu grade. The mine is currently transitioning between phases in the main Rosario pit and is expected to continue drawing on lower grade stockpiles while access to fresh, higher grade ore progressively improves through 2026. Debottlenecking projects are in execution and are expected to add c.25,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) (our 44% share) of production from late 2027. Beyond that, work is continuing to unlock significant synergies from the potential operational integration and optimisation of Collahuasi with the neighbouring Quebrada Blanca mine. Timing is subject to joint venture negotiations and permitting, with a target for first production as early as 2030. Studies continue for a stand-alone Collahuasi fourth processing line in the plant and mine expansion. Continued progress will be dependent on the discussions and studies for the adjacency project outlined above.

The desalination plant, which is currently under construction, will meet a large portion of the mine's water requirements by mid-2026 when fully operational and has been designed to accommodate capital-efficient expansion to support the fourth processing line expansion option. Until then, the operation continues to progress mitigation measures to optimise and reduce water consumption, including the provision of ultra-filtered sea water that was delivered in July and ramped up during the second half of 2025.

Production in 2026 is expected to be c.35,000 tonnes due to planned lower ore grades, with output projected to progressively decline to c.25,000 tpa by 2028. The environmental permit for the life extension of the operation is expected to be submitted in the first quarter of 2026.

These factors are reflected in the guidance provided on pages 35-36. Production guidance for 2026 is 390,000-420,000 tonnes and is subject to water availability. Production is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2026 given the progressive improvement in access to fresh, higher grade ore at Collahuasi.

2026 unit cost guidance is c.230 c/lb⁽²⁾, higher than the 2025 unit cost of 199 c/lb. The increase reflects the impact of a stronger Chilean peso and the production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi.

Quellaveco in Peru remains a cornerstone of our portfolio of world-class copper assets, with a mine plan designed to stably and competitively produce on average c.300,000 tonnes of copper per annum until the end of the decade.

After five years of operating, planned plant maintenance will be carried out on the concentrator, including the mills and conveyors; this is expected to occur in 2027 modestly impacting production.

Significant expansion potential exists that could sustain production beyond the initial high-grade area. The original plant throughput design capacity was 127,500 tonnes per day (tpd). Following regulatory approvals to increase throughput to 150,000 tpd, a debottlenecking strategy was implemented to provide added flexibility to design optimal throughput for the plant with limited configuration changes, subject to sectorial permits associated with the specific design and water availability.

In light of this, the stage one expansion was approved and will increase throughput to c.142,000 tpd and improve recoveries by late 2026; this involves the installation of a second pebble crusher and additional flotation cells. Quellaveco has demonstrated strong plant performance throughout 2025, with throughput rates continuing to exceed the design capacity of the plant, and recoveries improving since the start of the year, with the ongoing continued optimisation of the coarse particle recovery plant. This expansion will enable the operation to embed this performance consistently.

The stage one expansion project represents the first stage to full optimisation of the plant with minimal capital investment, delivering robust returns. Studies will continue to further debottleneck the plant beyond 150,000 tpd, while conducting early studies to support Quellaveco's long-term expansion prospects, underpinned by an exploration drilling campaign below and around the current pit shell, which to date has yielded promising results.

These factors are reflected in the guidance provided on pages 35-36. Production guidance for Peru for 2026 is 310,000-340,000 tonnes. Production is expected to be weighted to the second half of 2026 owing to the expected grade profile. 2026 unit cost guidance is c.100 c/lb⁽²⁾, higher than the 2025 unit cost of 89 c/lb, reflecting the impact of higher labour and maintenance costs, coupled with a stronger Peruvian sol.

Total production of 36.1 Mt was marginally higher than the prior year (2024: 35.7 Mt), reflecting strong operational performance from Kolomela, where production increased by 7% to 10.8 Mt (2024: 10.1Mt). Production at Sishen was slightly lower at 25.3 Mt (2024: 25.7 Mt) following a proactive drawdown of high mine stockpiles and maintenance to facilitate implementation of the ultra-high-dense-media-separation (UHDMS) project.

Consequently, sales volumes increased by 2% to 37.0 Mt (2024: 36.2 Mt), supported by third-party rail performance improving by 6% to 37.6 Mt (2024: 35.6 Mt). Total finished stock remained flat year-on-year at 7.5 Mt, with stock at the mines decreasing by 1.2 Mt to 5.7 Mt and stock at the port increasing by 1.3 Mt to 1.8 Mt.

Minas-Rio maintained production at 24.8 Mt (2024: 25.0 Mt), despite the impact of the 23-day planned shutdown for pipeline inspection activities, enabled by strong operational delivery from consistent integrated system performance.

Attributable manganese ore production increased by 30% to 3.0 Mt (2024: 2.3 Mt), reflecting more normalised production levels following the impact of the temporary suspension caused by tropical cyclone Megan in Australia in March 2024, with export operations resuming in the second quarter of 2025.

The sale of the South African manganese alloy smelter, which had been on care and maintenance since March 2020, was completed in June 2025, in line with expectations.

Underlying EBITDA increased by 9% to $127 million (2024: $116 million), driven by higher sales volumes following the resumption of exports earlier in 2025 after the damage caused by the tropical cyclone in March 2024 at the Australian operation, as well as lower operating costs. This more than offset the impact of lower insurance proceeds year-on-year as well as the weaker average realised manganese ore price. Insurance proceeds of $101 million for the cyclone damage were received in 2025, taking the total received since the incident to $221 million (40% attributable share basis).

The 2025 average benchmark for high-grade manganese ore (Fastmarkets⁽¹⁾ 44% manganese ore CIF China) decreased by 20% to $4.44/dmtu (2024: $5.56/dmtu), as seaborne supply recovered after the cyclone impact in 2024. Prices have been relatively stable in 2025, in the range of typical historical levels, with growth in demand from manganese-bearing battery chemistries being countered by weak margins in global steelmaking and at manganese alloy producers in China.

Anglo American is developing the Woodsmith project, a large, long-life Tier 1 asset in the north east of England, to access the world's largest known deposit of polyhalite - a natural mineral fertiliser containing low-chloride potassium, sulphur, magnesium and calcium - four of the six nutrients that every plant needs to grow.

Woodsmith is located on the North Yorkshire coast, just south of Whitby, where polyhalite ore will be extracted via two 1,600-metre deep mine shafts (a service shaft and a production shaft) and then transported to the port area in Teesside via an underground conveyor belt in a 37 km mineral transport system (MTS) tunnel, thereby minimising any environmental impact on the surface. The polyhalite can then be granulated into POLY4, our comparatively low-carbon multi-nutrient polyhalite product, at a materials handling facility in the port area, before being exported to a network of customers around the world from the priority access port facility.

In 2024, we announced that in order to support balance sheet deleveraging, we would slow the pace of development of the Woodsmith project in the near term. The slowdown was completed in the first quarter of 2025, with activities currently focused on critical value-adding works to de-risk the overall project schedule, preserve progress in other areas, and further optimise certain scopes of the project to be ready for ramp-up, subject to the final investment decision (FID).

We are continuing to sink the service shaft in order to progress through the Sherwood sandstone strata - a hypersaline water-bearing layer of hard rock - where the rate of progress is helping determine the overall project schedule which will inform the FID. As planned during 2025, the service shaft began sinking through the sandstone strata and is currently at a depth of 874 metres of the total 1,600-metre depth. Sinking activities on the production shaft were paused in June 2024 at 712 metres of the total 1,600-metre depth. The MTS tunnel has continued at a significantly reduced pace, reaching the 30 km milestone in December 2025 - more than 80% of the total 37 km length.

Value-preservation work during the slowdown period also includes maintenance of key permits and preservation of land rights to allow project ramp-up in due course, while execution of the critical study programme is focused on enhancing the project's configuration.

Polyhalite products provide farmers with a fertiliser solution to tackle the three key challenges facing the food industry today - the increasing demand for food from less available agricultural land; the need to reduce the environmental impact of farming; and the deteriorating health of soils.

Our market development activities continue and, in 2025, we expanded sales of POLY4 into key selling regions of Europe, North America, China and India, working with existing distribution partners and future customers to develop global demand for polyhalite through realised product sales, and maximise its value-creation potential. Feedback from the sales programme has been positive, and we plan to further extend the programme in 2026 to gain further insights and information to support the study programme.

In May 2025, we published a report looking into the 'Future of Fertiliser' that brought together the voices of a diverse group of 74 agricultural experts to consider how agriculture will have changed by 2050. It confirmed the need for the fertiliser industry to recognise the value of sustainability, balanced nutrition, and soil health to ensure food security. The qualities and characteristics of POLY4, confirmed through more than 2,500 field demonstrations to date on over 80 crops, fit neatly into the long-term gaps the agricultural industry is facing. To further validate this, we are also continuing progress on our pioneering five-year research project with the International Atomic Energy Agency, an organisation within the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) announced in 2024, into the beneficial impact polyhalite could have in reducing salt levels in soil - a major factor in the degradation of soil health globally.

In December 2025, our research paper into the yield enhancement qualities of POLY4 was published by a recognised leading scientific research body, validating POLY4's ability to increase crop yields by 3-5% compared to standard practice, and further validating the superior quality of our unique product.

In support of the first two of these conditions, Anglo American has entered into an investment agreement and related shareholders' agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation (Mitsubishi) to support continued development of Woodsmith, including working together on market development and financing opportunities designed to further enhance the existing market development programme. Together, Anglo American and Mitsubishi will explore opportunities to build out demand for POLY4, including providing financial and commercial resources to accelerate pilot sales and leveraging Mitsubishi's extensive networks across food and agriculture sectors to broaden market development across key markets and related business development and strategic partner engagement, which will contribute to optimising the project in the feasibility study phase, prior to submission to the Board for approval.

The agreements include an initial equity investment by Mitsubishi in Woodsmith. Through its investment and involvement in the ongoing development of Woodsmith at this stage, Mitsubishi also intends to evaluate its participation in a future financing plan at the time of the Anglo American Board's final investment decision, currently anticipated from 2028 subject to meeting the above conditions, with potential for Mitsubishi to acquire an equity interest of 25% or other such amount subject to negotiations at that time. The agreements extend the longstanding successful partnership between Anglo American and Mitsubishi Corporation, while allowing for additional investment and the involvement of other partners, and represents a pathway for Anglo American to syndicate a significant minority share of its interest in Woodsmith.

Board approval for Woodsmith remains subject to completion of the feasibility study showing robust economic potential; a clear pathway to syndication; and sufficient deleveraging of the Group balance sheet.

Given the progress in our development of Woodsmith during the current phase of reduced capital expenditure, designed to preserve the option value of the project, Anglo American will continue funding critical activities, with capital expenditure of c.$0.25 billion and operating expenditure of c.$0.05 billion in 2026 and 2027⁽¹⁾. Total Group capital expenditure for the simplified portfolio is unchanged over this period. This investment will be focused on progressing activities required to continue to de-risk the project's critical path, including continued sinking of the service shaft, and market development activities, to inform the feasibility study and enhance the value of the project prior to any final investment decision by the Board.

Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenging throughout 2025 amid persistent industry, geopolitical and tariff uncertainty. While demand for larger, higher-quality diamonds strengthened through the year, demand for smaller and lower-quality diamonds experienced pressure in light of the growing supply from other producers.

Polished wholesale diamond prices showed signs of stabilisation early in the year, but sentiment weakened sharply following the introduction of US tariffs on Indian exports. India remains the main cutting centre for natural diamonds and the US remains the largest end-market for diamond jewellery.

Demand for natural diamonds at the retail level proved resilient, although retail sales of laboratory-grown diamonds continue to have an impact. In the US, strong performance in higher-end categories largely offset reduced demand at the lower end of the assortment. India continued to deliver robust growth while demand in China remained muted.

The mining operations delivered solid operational performance at lower output levels, as the business produced into prevailing demand. Consequently, rough diamond production reduced by 12% to 21.7 million carats (2024: 24.7 million carats).

In Botswana, production reduced by 16% to 15.1 million carats (2024: 17.9 million carats), following planned reductions at Orapa, including extended maintenance downtime, and the transition of the Letlhakane Tailings Treatment Plant into care and maintenance⁽¹⁾. This built on actions already taken in 2024 to lower production levels at Jwaneng.

Production in Namibia decreased 7% to 2.1 million carats (2024: 2.2 million carats), driven by output reductions at Debmarine Namibia through the decommissioning of the Coral Sea and Grand Banks vessels, partially offset by higher-grade ore and improved recoveries at Namdeb.

In South Africa, production at Venetia remained at low levels consistent with prior year at 2.2 million carats (2024: 2.2 million carats), as the underground project progressed in line with the recently reconfigured plan.

Production in Canada decreased 7% to 2.2 million carats (2024: 2.4 million carats), largely due to the planned treatment of lower-grade ore.

Challenging rough diamond trading conditions persisted, with total revenue remaining subdued at $3.5 billion (2024: $3.3 billion), including rough diamond sales of $3.0 billion (2024: $2.7 billion). Total rough diamond consolidated sales volumes of 20.9 million carats (2024: 17.9 million) were broadly in line with De Beers' share of production globally as the business supplied into areas experiencing demand.

The full year consolidated average realised price declined by 7% to $142 per carat (2024: $152 per carat), primarily due to a 12% decrease in the average rough price index and the impact of stock rebalancing initiatives (whereby low-demand assortments are sold at lower prices), partially offset by strong demand for higher value stones. The average rough price index does not reflect the impact of rebalancing initiatives. The equivalent price index reduction including the impact of stock rebalancing action would be a 25% year-on-year decrease.

Lower average rough price index and stock rebalancing initiatives had a significant impact on earnings, resulting in an underlying EBITDA loss of $511 million (2024: loss of $25 million). This was primarily due to the impact of the stock rebalancing initiatives in the trading business, whereby stock on the balance sheet which was purchased at a higher price, was subsequently sold at a significantly lower effective index generating trading losses of $424 million (2024: loss of $50 million). Further, the prior year also benefited from the one-off sale of a non-diamond royalty right of $127 million.

Unit costs reduced by 8% to $86/ct, with lower rough diamond production volumes being more than offset by cost reduction initiatives across the operations.

Capital expenditure decreased by 34% to $353 million (2024: $536 million), reflecting cash preservation measures with the rephasing of Venetia underground life extension and rationalisation of stay-in-business capex spend.

De Beers continued the delivery of its Origins strategy in 2025, focused on streamlining the business whilst revitalising consumer desire for natural diamonds.

Key highlights included signing the Luanda Accord (which cements a government-industry marketing commitment for natural diamonds); launching new, large-scale natural diamond marketing campaigns in the US and India; and launching a new branded polished diamond offering, ORIGIN De Beers Group, backed by the Tracr™ traceability platform, differentiating De Beers Group's responsibly sourced diamonds at the retail level.

De Beers also advanced its brand portfolio strategy during the year, with De Beers London unveiling a refreshed identity, opening new franchised stores in Dubai and Manchester and opening its Paris flagship in January 2026. Forevermark continued its evolution into a premium De Beers-owned jewellery retail brand in India, while winding down its former global licensed model.

The business delivered on its multi-year cost reduction target, achieving over $100 million cumulative overhead cost savings through the streamlining strategy.

Near-term trading conditions are expected to remain challenging. Continued macro-economic volatility, conservative inventory management in the midstream and laboratory-grown diamond penetration are expected to limit rough diamond demand in the near term. In the medium term, gradual normalisation of inventory levels provide a foundation for improvement. While the full differentiation of natural diamonds and laboratory-grown diamonds is expected in the medium term, it has been delayed as some retailers seek to maintain high retail margins on laboratory-grown stones despite the continued reduction in wholesale prices.

Consumer demand is expected to remain stable in the US and India, particularly in the higher-end product areas, while a gradual recovery in China is expected as economic conditions stabilise.

Production guidance for 2026 is 21-26 million carats (100% basis). De Beers continues to monitor rough diamond trading conditions in order to align output with prevailing demand.

Unit cost guidance for 2026 is c.$80 per carat⁽²⁾, lower than the 2025 unit cost of $86/ct, reflecting the benefit of slightly higher production volumes and ongoing cost-control measures.

As previously announced, Anglo American continues to pursue a dual track separation for De Beers and a structured sale process is currently under way.
