“The directors have considered the Company's cash flow forecasts for the period to the end of 2026.

In all of the scenarios modelled, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity throughout the period of assessment. The Board is satisfied that the Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of modelled changes in trading performance, show that the Company will be able to remain in operation for the period assessed. For this reason, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events
- “following the announcement of the revised strategy of the Anglo American group on 14 May 2024, some changes to the principal activities of the Company may arise. These are expected to include a change to the mixture of commodities sold by the Company, with a reduction in sales of nickel and coal.”
- “Copper prices were volatile during 2024, reaching record nominal highs in May following acute physical market tightness in the COMEX copper contract, but prices were also under pressure for long periods owing to weak Chinese physical demand conditions.”
- “The LME nickel price averaged US$16,921/tonne (US$7.63/lb) in 2024, 21% lower than US$21,473/tonne (US$9.74/lb) in 2023. The price weakness was as a result of oversupply from Indonesia and China, despite several mine closures and supply disruptions and an increase in visible exchange stockpiles highlighting the refined market surplus.”
- “The average benchmark price for Australian hard coking coal ("HCC") decreased to US$240/tonne in 2024 (2023: US$296/tonne). At the start of 2024, supply disruptions kept prices elevated, with Q1 averaging US$308/tonne. However, from Q2 onwards, Australian exports improved, resulting in HCC prices falling for the subsequent quarters.”
- “In 2025, global supply chains may be impacted by the threat of, or actual disputes between major economies, including the increased risk of imposition of tariffs. Uncertainty around business conditions may lead to a lack of confidence in making investment decisions, which could influence demand for commodities traded by the Company and the Company's future financial performance.”
- “On 14 May 2024, the Anglo American plc Group ("the Group") announced its updated strategy, including the intention to demerge or divest several of the Group's businesses, including the Group's platinum group metals, nickel and steelmaking coal businesses. The sale of the Group's nickel business was agreed in February 2025 and the demerger of the Group's platinum group metals business was completed on 31 May 2025. In November 2024, the Group agreed the sale of the bulk of steelmaking coal business to Peabody Energy, subject to relevant approvals.”
- “Beginning on 2 April 2025, the U.S. administration announced a series of tariffs aimed at protecting U.S. domestic industries and reducing trade deficits. At this stage, the impact on the Company's business and results has not been significant.”
- “On 30 June 2025, an interim dividend of US$350,000,000 was approved by the Board of Directors and all of it was allocated to the Singapore Branch.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
