First Quantum has placed $1.5 billion of senior, unsecured notes due 2036 with a 6.375% coupon. The proceeds, together with cash, will be used to repay $1.35 billion of 9.375% notes due 2029, to partially repay the revolving credit facility and to cover transaction costs. The refinancing significantly reduces interest expense; the company reports total debt of $7.3 billion on revenue of $5.2 billion over the last twelve months. » Więcej na de.investing.com

First Quantum Minerals reported a 3% increase in revenue and a 6% rise in EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025, even as copper production fell by 9%. The company reduced its net debt and continues to focus on innovation and operational efficiency, despite challenges such as volatile copper prices and operational constraints. The copper production forecast for 2025 is between 200,000 and 230,000 tonnes, with debt reduction and the implementation of key projects remaining priorities. » Więcej na de.investing.com
