- KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc ("ZCCM-IH") recorded a profit of ZMW 39.85 billion (US$ 1.52 billion) for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to a loss of ZMW 4.08 billion (US$ 198.59 million) in 2023. The strong performance was primarily driven by the successful Mopani Strategic Equity Partner (SEP) Transaction, which resulted in a one-off net gain of ZMW 32.06 billion (US$ 1.22 billion) recognised under other income. The transaction also enabled the settlement of US$ 1.71 billion in legacy debt owed to Glencore/Carlisa.
Furthermore, the Group recorded ZMW 3.33 billion (US$ 127.25 million) in share of profit from associates.
Following this transaction, ZCCM-HI's interest in Mopani was diluted to 49% through its partnership with International Resources Holdings (IRH) via Delta Mining Limited, resulting in Mopani's reclassification as an associate.
Group total assets declined slightly to ZMW 57.29 billion (US$ 2.05 billion) from ZMW 58.46 billion (US$ 2.27 billion) in 2023, largely due to the Mopani reclassification.
The Group total equity improved significantly to ZMW 52.26 billion (US$ 1.87 billion), up from a negative position in 2023 of ZMW5.69 billion (US$221.03 million).
At Company level, ZCCM-IH recorded a loss of ZMW 4.38 billion (US$ 167.62 million), mainly due to a one-off investment expense of ZMW 3.86 billion (US$ 150 million) related to the Mopani transaction.
Despite the loss, Company assets increased to ZMW 66.91 billion (US$ 2.39 billion) from ZMW 38.47 billion (US$ 1.49 billion) in 2023, driven by higher investment values in Mopani, KCM, and Mingomba. Equity strengthened to ZMW 62.29 billion (US$ 2.23 billion) from ZMW 37.42 billion (US$1.45 billion) in 2023, supported by ZMW 29.53 billion (US$ 1.06 billion) in other comprehensive income.
- KEY OPERATIONS AND STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
Mopani Copper Mines Transaction:
In March 2024, ZCCM-IH diluted its interest in Mopani Copper Mines Plc to 49% by Mopani issuing new shares to Delta Mining Limited (a subsidiary of International Resource Holdings), valued at US$1.1 billion. The transaction repositioned Mopani as a viable operation and settled US$1.71 billion in Glencore/Carlisa debt under the ARCA Agreement with IRH/Delta.
The ongoing capital investment in underground development and operational improvements is expected to unlock Mopani's full potential, marking a new chapter for Zambia's mining sector.
Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) Restructuring
Vedanta Resources regained control of KCM after releasing US$250 million, leading to board reconstitution and the end of the liquidation process. A further US$1.2 billion commitment will support expansion, development of the Konkola Deep Mining Project, and financial strengthening.
Investment in Renewable Energy:
ZCCM-IH increased its stake in Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) from 31.07% to 32.41%, reinforcing its role in powering Zambia's industrial and mining sectors. It also invested US$10 million in the second tranche of CEC's US$200 million green bond, backing a 136MW solar project aligned with its energy diversification strategy.
Expansion of Maamba Energy Portfolio
Maamba Energy Limited remains a key player in Zambia's power sector, with its 300MW thermal plant operating at 99.95% efficiency. To expand capacity, ZCCM-IH committed US$50 million to Maamba's Phase II, a US$400 million project that will add 300MW and double output to 600MW, supporting Zambia's energy security and industrialisation goals.
Strategic Realignment
ZCCM-IH continued focusing on mining, energy, and mineral beneficiation by divesting non-core assets.
- Outlook 2025
In 2025, ZCCM-IH will focus on maximising returns from its investee companies, optimising its investment portfolio, developing green energy projects, strengthening capital efficiency, and deepening its ESG impact across Zambia.
