Australian gold miner Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) has kicked off 2025 with stellar financial results, announcing a record $365 million net profit for the first half of the fiscal year. The company’s financial report, released early Wednesday, made liberal use of the word “record”—19 times, to be exact—underscoring its impressive performance.
Among the standout figures, Evolution’s earnings per share (EPS) surged to 18.4%, another all-time high, while net profit skyrocketed 277% compared to the previous year.
Future Targets: More Records in Sight
With an ambitious full-year outlook, Evolution is aiming for:
- 710,000 to 780,000 ounces of gold production
- 70,000 to 80,000 tonnes of copper
- All-in sustaining costs of $1,475 to $1,575 per ounce
CEO Lawrie Conway credited the positive results to the company’s strategic execution and operational stability.
“We have seen the benefits of the foundations laid during FY24 resulting in consistent and reliable delivery in FY25,” Conway stated.
Looking ahead, Evolution expects to generate over $2 billion in operating cash flow, further strengthening its financial position.
Gold Price Surge Adds to Momentum
Evolution’s performance is further boosted by the soaring price of gold, which is approaching US$3,000 per ounce amid heightened economic uncertainty. With gold currently at an all-time high, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on this bullish trend.
Conway emphasized that in such a favorable price environment, miners must demonstrate their ability to convert higher gold prices into shareholder value—a challenge he believes Evolution is ready to meet.
Stock Performance: A 105% Rally
Investors have taken notice of Evolution’s strength, with its share price surging 105% over the past year.
