Rio Tinto Reports Non-GAAP EPS of $4.21, Revenue Misses Estimates
Rio Tinto reported a non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $4.21 for the first half and revenue of $31.03 billion, which fell short of estimates by approximately $260 million. Despite missing revenue expectations, the company highlighted strong financial performance with underlying EBITDA reaching $14.8 billion—a 28% increase year-over-year—and free cash flow rising to $3.8 billion (+75%). The results reflect a significant improvement in operational and financial metrics. The mixed outcome may influence investor sentiment as revenue fell below forecasts, even though earnings growth was robust. Rio Tinto attributed the performance boost to higher commodity prices and improved production efficiency across its operations.
