Vale S.A. reported stronger operating results in 4Q25 and 2025 but a headline accounting loss driven by large non-cash charges. Net operating revenue in 4Q25 was US$ 11.1 billion, up 9% year over year, while Proforma EBITDA reached US$ 4.8 billion, 17% higher, supported by higher iron ore and copper volumes and better copper and by‑product prices.
For 2025, Proforma EBITDA was US$ 15.9 billion, up 3%, and Proforma net income attributable to shareholders rose 28% to US$ 7.8 billion. However, reported net income for 4Q25 was a loss of US$ 3.8 billion, mainly due to a US$ 3.5 billion impairment of nickel assets in Canada and a US$ 2.8 billion write‑off of deferred tax assets, plus higher Samarco provisions.
Iron Ore Solutions generated US$ 4.0 billion of Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q25, essentially flat year over year, while Vale Base Metals EBITDA surged to US$ 1.4 billion, up 157%, helped by strong copper and by‑product pricing and lower all‑in costs. Recurring free cash flow was US$ 1.7 billion in 4Q25 and US$ 4.8 billion in 2025, and expanded net debt fell to US$ 15.6 billion at year‑end.
