• Net Income Decline: Despite revenue growth, net income fell to AU$125 million, down from AU$243 million in FY2023, driven by shrinking profit margins.

Company Overview
Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN), a mining services firm valued at AU$8.41 billion, conducts operations in Australia, Asia, and internationally. It boasts diverse revenue streams, including energy, lithium, iron ore, and mining services.

Sales Growth vs. Profit Decline
At the time of writing, Mineral Resources reported FY2024 sales of AU$5.28 billion, up from AU$4.78 billion in the previous year, demonstrating solid growth in its operations. The company's revenue segments were led by mining services at AU$3.38 billion, followed by iron ore at AU$2.58 billion and lithium at AU$1.41 billion. Energy sales contributed AU$16 million.

However, despite the revenue increase, net income declined sharply, dropping to AU$125 million from AU$243 million in FY2023. This profit contraction is a result of shrinking profit margins and concerns over interest coverage, which have affected the company’s bottom line.
