The company achieved record annual Group underlying free cash flow of A$536 million and net mine cash flow of A$1,189 million for FY25. For FY26, the company has guided gold sold to be in the range of 1,700-1,850koz at an AISC of A$2,300-2,700/oz, reflecting inflationary pressures, higher gold price related royalties, and increased sustaining capital expenditure.

The company continues to advance major growth projects, including the KCGM Mill Expansion and Hemi Development Project, to achieve its goal of being a long-life, high margin, returns-focused global gold producer.

Guidance
