Bathurst Resources Faces Lower Earnings Amid Operational Challenges

Bathurst Resources Limited (ASX: BRL) reported weaker financial performance for FY25, with sales revenue of NZ$451.9 million compared to NZ$493.6 million in FY24, reflecting softer market conditions and lower export prices . Net profit after tax dropped sharply to NZ$4.4 million, down from NZ$33.6 million in the previous year. Despite these challenges, the company recorded underlying EBITDA of NZ$43.5 million, aided by cost management and stable domestic sales. Key headwinds included reduced benchmark coal prices, higher freight costs, and operational disruptions at North Island mines. Additionally, impairment reversals at Takitimu partially offset earlier write-downs. Bathurst continues to progress its international ventures, including the Crown Mountain project in Canada, which shows strong long-term development potential. While FY25 results underscored financial pressures, management highlighted operational improvements and strategic investments aimed at positioning the company for future recovery and growth.
