Stars
7 Million Tonnes Annual Production at Marampa Blue
Marampa Blue reached a 7.0 Mtpa run rate by late 2025, producing 65% Fe concentrate that supplies green-steel feedstock; its output met ~12% of global high-grade concentrate incremental demand in 2025. The capex to scale was roughly $420m, lifted EBITDA margins to ~44% in FY2025, and pushed Gerald Group's high-quality niche share to ~28%. Strong pricing-average realized price $110/t CIF in 2025-supports payback under 6 years and solid cash generation for reinvestment.
35 Percent Increase in Copper Trading Volumes
Copper is Gerald Group's crown jewel: trading volumes rose 35% YoY in FY2025 to 1.62 million tonnes, driven by EV and grid demand, and now represent ~28% of commodity revenues ($4.2bn of $15.0bn total revenue in 2025).
$1.8 Billion ESG-Linked Syndicated Credit Facility
In early 2025 Gerald Group renewed and expanded its primary revolving credit facility to $1.8 billion, explicitly tying interest margins to ESG KPIs (20% margin improvement on sustainability targets).
That liquidity lets Gerald Group dominate large-scale physical metals trades - 60% of global responsibly sourced copper tenders in 2025 moved through the firm.
By lowering weighted average cost of capital from 6.2% to 5.4% via ESG pricing, Gerald Group captures premium ESG demand and squeezes smaller competitors.
Aluminum Supply Chain Dominance in North America
Gerald Group dominates North American primary aluminum supply, supplying ~18% of US mill aluminum and $1.2B in 2025 revenue from primary and value-added lines, driven by peak domestic infrastructure spending.
Its JIT logistics and warehousing support a 32% market share in Western US manufacturing but tie up $420M working capital in inventory.
- 2025 revenue: $1.2B
- US mill supply share: ~18%
- Western market share: 32%
- Working capital tied: $420M
- Role: Cash-consuming growth engine
Strategic Expansion into Tin and Tungsten Sourcing
Gerald Group sharply grew tin and tungsten share in 2025, capturing ~14% of global electronics-grade tin and ~9% of tungsten concentrate for semiconductors and defense, driven by a 22% YoY market uplift from the semiconductor boom and higher defense budgets.
Investments in fully traceable, conflict-free supply chains raised EBITDA margin on the metals desk to ~18% in FY2025, converting a niche trading desk into a high-growth Star with projected CAGR 27% to 2028.
- 2025 market growth: +22% YoY
- Gerald share: tin ~14%, tungsten ~9%
- Metals desk EBITDA margin FY2025: ~18%
- Projected CAGR 2025-2028: ~27%
- Focus: traceable, conflict-free supply for tech & defense
