Trafigura Group Pte Ltd, one of the world’s largest commodity traders, increased net profit by 3 per cent in the first half of fiscal 2025, while reducing revenue by 4 per cent.
The company said its net profit for the six months ended March was $1.515bn, compared with $1.471bn in the same period a year earlier.
Underlying EBITDA fell to $3.864bn from $4.284bn.
Revenue slipped to $119.242bn from $124.197bn last year. The report said this was mainly due to lower commodity prices.
The combined trading volume of crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas and LNG was 7.2 million bpd for the half-year, the same as a year earlier. Non-ferrous metals trading volume fell to 9.9 million tonnes from 10.4 million tonnes and bulk commodities (including iron ore) to 43.4 million tonnes from 54.7 million tonnes.
Trafigura also declared a dividend of about $1.54bn compared with $661m a year earlier.
