Gemfields Group Limited is a leading miner and marketer of colored gemstones, operating primarily in the emerald and ruby mining sectors in Zambia and Mozambique. The company has developed a proprietary grading system and auction platform to ensure a consistent supply of gemstones to the market.
In the first half of 2025, Gemfields faced challenging market conditions, with a significant drop in revenue and profitability compared to the previous year. The company completed the sale of its interest in Fabergé for USD 50 million, marking a strategic shift towards focusing on its core mining operations.
Key financial metrics showed a decline, with revenue dropping to USD 64.2 million from USD 121.4 million in the same period last year. The company reported a loss after tax of USD 24.6 million, primarily due to lower sales volumes and increased operational costs. Despite these challenges, Gemfields successfully completed a USD 30 million Rights Issue to improve liquidity and support future growth initiatives.
Looking ahead, Gemfields remains cautiously optimistic about the second half of 2025. The completion of the second processing plant at Montepuez Ruby Mining is expected to significantly increase production capacity and support the company’s growth strategy. Management is focused on operational efficiency and capital discipline to navigate ongoing macroeconomic pressures and enhance shareholder value.
