Strong First-Half Financial Performance

DPM Metals Inc. (ASX: DPM) delivered a significantly stronger financial performance in the first half of 2026, supported by higher revenue across its operating portfolio and the contribution from the Vareš operation. The company’s condensed interim financial statements were approved by its Board of Directors on July 30, 2026.For the six-month period ending June 30, 2026, the company posted AU$671.9 million in revenue, compared with AU$330.6 million during the same period a year earlier.

Net earnings rose to AU$396.0 million, while diluted earnings per share increased to AU$1.78 from AU$0.68.

Vareš Adds a New Growth Engine

A major contributor to the stronger results was the Vareš operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which generated AU$178.5 million in first-half revenue and AU$184.3 million in earnings before income taxes. The operation was acquired through DPM’s September 2025 acquisition of Adriatic Metals and remained in the pre-commercial production phase during the period.Chelopech also delivered a solid contribution, generating AU$385.2 million in revenue during the first half, while Ada Tepe contributed AU$108.2 million.
