A strong financial result has translated into handsome returns for shareholders worth $2.8bn
Glencore’s hot seat proved to be more of a warm embrace for its new, SA-born CEO Gary Nagle on Thursday when he presented a strong set of results on the back of roaring commodity prices, which spurred the resources group’s interim earnings to record highs and saw shareholders rewarded with $2.8bn in returns.
For the half-year ended in June, Glencore posted a record $8.7bn in adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation , marking a 79% increase from $4.8bn in the first half of 2020. Cash generation was also strong, with funds from operations almost doubling to $7.3bn. Strong free cash flows allowed the company to deleverage its balance sheet quicker than expected, with net debt dropping from $15.8bn in December to $10.
