Vale S.A. (VALE) reports solid top-line and cash-flow performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, but lower earnings. Net operating revenue for the quarter rose to US$10,498 million from US$8,804 million in 2025, driven by stronger volumes/prices in both Iron Ore Solutions and Vale Base Metals. Six‑month revenue increased to US$19,756 million from US$16,923 million.
Adjusted EBITDA grew to US$3,676 million in the quarter (US$3,386 million in 2025) and to US$7,506 million year‑to‑date (US$6,501 million), with particularly strong gains in copper and nickel. However, quarterly net income attributable to shareholders declined to US$1,375 million from US$2,117 million, reflecting higher operating, socio‑environmental and financial costs and a swing in financial results. Six‑month net income to shareholders was US$3,268 million, down from US$3,511 million. Operating cash flow strengthened to US$4,291 million (6M 2025: US$3,525 million), after substantial dividends, buybacks and environmental and dam‑related payments, while total assets reached US$89,279 million and equity US$38,946 million.
Vale S.A. (VALE) reports further progress on the reparation process for the collapse of Samarco’s Fundão dam in Mariana, Minas Gerais. An additional 19 eligible municipalities have joined the Definitive Agreement for compensation and reparation, bringing the total to 45 of 49 eligible municipalities.
The new adherents will receive, in a single installment, an amount equivalent to the three installments already paid to municipalities, within up to 30 days from ratification of their terms, subject to conditions including formal waivers of related lawsuits and judicial proceedings in Brazil and abroad. Subsequent installments will follow the existing payment schedule under the Definitive Agreement. Vale highlights that this broad adherence, acknowledged in a mediation process conducted by the Federal Regional Court of the 6th Region, reinforces the legitimacy and scope of the agreement as an instrument for reparation of damages from the November 5, 2015 Fundão dam collapse.
Vale S.A., through its subsidiary Vale Base Metals Ltd. (VBM), is advancing the Coarse Particle Flotation (CPF) project at the Salobo Copper Complex in Pará, Brazil to the execution phase, with expected start-up in 1H2028, about one year ahead of the original schedule. The revised timeline reflects project optimization and execution improvements, which are described as supporting enhanced project returns.
The CPF project is expected to add 6 million tonnes to Salobo’s annual ore processing capacity, bringing total processing capacity to 42 million tonnes per year. Annual copper production is projected to rise by up to 30,000 tonnes contained in concentrate, alongside approximately 15,000 ounces of gold by-product. VBM has reduced the project’s capex estimate to about US$ 215 million, with VBM’s expected capital expenditure of roughly US$ 175 million after considering US$ 40 million in funding from Wheaton Precious Metals, payable in two US$ 20 million milestone-based installments.
