Orica Reports Higher First-Half Earnings with AU$100 million Cost-Saving Program
Orica Limited (ASX: ORI) reported strong momentum in the first five months of FY2026, supported by steady demand across its core business segments. The company expects first-half EBIT to be slightly higher than the prior corresponding period, where adjusted EBIT stood at AU$488.1 million. Digital Solutions continues to expand rapidly, with EBIT expected to increase by around 20% year-on-year due to greater adoption of its digital mining platforms and strong metals exploration activity. The Specialty Mining Chemicals segment is also performing well, with EBIT expected to rise by approximately 15%, driven by robust demand for sodium cyanide in the gold sector and improved production efficiency following upgrades at the Winnemucca plant. Meanwhile, Blasting Solutions maintained stable demand, although a stronger Australian dollar (rising from AU$0.66 to AU$0.70 against the US dollar) and lower Indonesian coal output may slightly affect earnings. Orica has also launched a company-wide efficiency program targeting at least AU$100 million in annualised cost savings over three years to strengthen long-term profitability.
