Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARG; OTCQX: ARREF) is excited to share its robust financial outcomes for the year and the fourth quarter of 2025, concluding on December 31, 2025. All dollar amounts are presented in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.
The financial highlights for 2025 reveal a net income of $35.4 million, with basic earnings per share (EPS) at $0.22, EBITDA at $89.8 million, and free cash flow to equity (FCFE) totaling $37.1 million. Throughout 2025, Amerigo returned $20.4 million to its shareholders via dividends and share buybacks. Notably, a performance dividend of Cdn$0.05 per share was declared on December 17, 2025, and distributed on January 15, 2026, representing the second full year of implementing the Capital Return Strategy (CRS).
“Amerigo’s strong performance in 2025 was propelled by remarkable operational efficiency at MVC and stringent cost management. Our ability to adapt to a rising copper price environment, reflected by a 9% increase in the average annual London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price, has enhanced our shareholder return capabilities through our CRS,” stated Aurora Davidson, President and CEO of Amerigo.
Davidson further noted, “In response to fluctuating prices during the year, we increased our quarterly dividend by 33% and declared our second performance dividend. We also successfully reduced our annual share count by 2.8 million shares and eliminated our debt, enabling more cash to flow to shareholders through our CRS.”
As of early 2026, LME copper prices have reached unprecedented levels, and the company anticipates these price trends to continue, driven by strong market fundamentals and ongoing currency debasement. This scenario is favorable for Amerigo's operations, allowing efficient conversion of performance into free cash flow while maintaining a focus on reliability and operational stability.
In 2025, Amerigo’s wholly-owned Minera Valle Central (MVC) operation produced 62.2 million pounds of copper, alongside 1.5 million pounds of molybdenum, demonstrating a solid operational output despite slight fluctuations in copper production compared to the previous year.
For Q4-2025, Amerigo reported a net income of $17.9 million, with an EPS of $0.10, EBITDA of $38.1 million, and FCFE of $14.7 million.
On February 23, 2026, Amerigo’s Board declared its eighteenth consecutive quarterly dividend of Cdn$0.04 per share, scheduled for payment on March 20, 2026, to shareholders recorded as of March 6, 2026. This dividend is classified as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian Income Tax Act purposes.
Based on the closing price of Cdn$4.54 per share as of December 31, 2025, the recent dividend declaration translates to an annual dividend yield of 3.5%, underscoring Amerigo’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders.
