    Lundin Mining Pre-Announces Items Impacting the Third Quarter 2025 Results

    October 16, 2025

    VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 16, 2025 /CNW/ –  (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) is pre-announcing certain items impacting the Company’s earnings, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”)1, adjusted earnings1 and adjusted earnings per share1 for the three months ending September 30, 2025. Unless otherwise stated, dollar amounts are presented in United States dollars.

    Revenue and Provisional Pricing Adjustments

    Revenue in the third quarter 2025 is expected to be positively impacted by unaudited provisional pricing adjustments on prior period concentrate sales of approximately $11 million on a pre-tax basis. These adjustments primarily include upward adjustments in relation to prior period copper and gold sales.

    Revenue in the third quarter 2025 is also expected to be impacted by a timing difference between the production and shipment dates of approximately 20,000 tonnes of copper concentrate (approximately 5,100 tonnes of contained payable copper). A shipment of copper concentrate from Caserones scheduled for September was delayed into October due to weather related issues. The related revenue and cost of goods sold are expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter 2025.

    Foreign Exchange and Derivatives

    Unaudited realized foreign exchange gains and unaudited realized losses on derivative contracts in the third quarter 2025 are not expected to be significant.

    In the third quarter 2025 the Company is expected to recognize certain non-cash items that will impact the Company’s earnings but not adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings or adjusted earnings per share. These include an unaudited unrealized loss of approximately $26 million on a pre-tax basis related to the mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s unexpired derivative contracts, primarily due to rising gold prices during the quarter. Unaudited unrealized foreign exchange gains are not expected to be significant.

  • Centrica and Holland & Barrett fined for underpaying staff

    Centrica and Holland & Barrett fined for underpaying staff

    British Gas’s parent company Centrica, Euro Garages and Holland & Barrett are among the latest companies named and shamed by the government for underpaying staff.

    The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has released a list of nearly 500 employers fined more than £10m for failing to pay the national minimum wage. It said 42,000 workers were repaid more than £6m.

    Business Secretary Peter Kyle said: “I know that no employer wants to end up on one of these lists. But our Plan to Make Work Pay cracks down on those not playing by the rules.”

    All three firms blamed past payroll problems for the underpayments and said all affected staff had been remunerated.

    All the employers named on DBT’s list were fined up to double the total amount they owed to staff, some for underpayments dating as far back as 2013.

    Paul Nowak, the TUC general secretary, said there was “no excuse for workers being cheated out of money they’re owed. It’s bad for workers, families and the economy.”

    According to the government’s latest investigations between 2018 and 2023, Euro Garages, known as EG Group, is top of the list short-changing 3,317 of its workers by a hefty sum of more than £824,000.

    The company, which was co-founded by billionaire brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa but who have since stepped back from leading the firm, has significantly reduced its UK operations over the past year.

    It sold its UK petrol forecourts business and Cooplands bakeries, but still runs some Starbucks franchise stores across the UK.

    In a statement, an EG Group spokesperson said: “These historic payroll issues that took place between 2015 and 2019 have been fully rectified.

    “All affected employees were subsequently reimbursed in full in agreement with HMRC.”

    The firm said it improved its systems to make sure it complied with UK laws and maintained that it was committed to treating employees fairly.

    Centrica, which owns British Gas, was eighth on DBT’s list having failed to pay £167,815 to 356 workers.

    The energy giant recently bought one of the biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in the UK for £1.7bn, extending the firm’s control of the country’s energy supplies.

    A Centrica spokesperson said the company supported fair pay and pointed to technical faults in its payroll system between 2015 and 2019.

    “This issue relates to a small number of historic technical errors which was put right as soon as it was identified.

    “The total underpayment related primarily to salary sacrifice arrangements and training bonds, rather than take home pay, and was around £160,000 – our UK annual wage bill is currently around £1.2bn.”

    High street retailer Holland & Barrett is next on the list after it failed to pay more than £153,000 to 2,551 workers.

    In a statement, the company said past issues with minimum wage payments, between 2015 and 2021, had since been fixed in 2022.

    “This was not a case of deliberate underpayment,” said a spokesperson.

    “The issue stemmed from legacy practices such as requiring team members to wear specific shoes, unpaid training completed at home, and time spent preparing for shifts at our Burton distribution site.”

    Holland & Barrett said it remained “committed to fair pay” and that it was paying store staff about 5% above the National Living Wage and follows all rules.

    “While we respect the transparency of the scheme, we are disappointed that naming has occurred over three years after the matter was settled.”

    The minimum wage for over 21s, known officially as the National Living Wage, is currently £12.21 an hour. Younger employees – aged between 16 and 20 – are entitled to receive the National Minimum Wage, which is set at £10 and hour.

  • Geopolitical shifts, uncertainty, and investment: Evidence from the EIB Investment Survey 2025

    Global geopolitics has been a tremendous source of uncertainty in 2025. Compounding the uncertainty has been questions about the short-term and permanent impact these changes will have on the real economy, particularly on trade and private-sector investment. Major forecasters have been revising their forecasts, as the underlying assumptions about the impact of US tariffs change. For the EU, growth projections were considerably revised downward in the spring (European Commission 2025), but now the consensus seems to be shifting, recognising a better than expected economic performance in the short term. The lack of strong EU retaliation on US tariffs, the partially reduced uncertainty due to the trade agreements, the potential opportunities emerging from a multi-polar system, and a boost to public investment (for defence) are leading most institutions to revise their growth expectations slightly upwards (Lagarde 2025; OECD 2025, IMF 2025). But what is happening to investment by European firms? How are they responding to the changed trading environment and other political shifts, such as the Trump administration’s position on climate change? How do the reactions of European firms differ from those in the US?

    The 2025 edition of the European Investment Bank Investment Survey (EIBIS) sheds some light on these questions (EIB 2025). Conducted annually since 2016, the EIBIS is a unique survey of approximately 13,000 firms across all 27 EU members, with an additional sample from the US. The survey collects data on the characteristics and performance of firms, past investment activities and future plans, sources of finance, financing issues, and other challenges such as climate change and digital transformation. Interviews for the 2025 edition of the survey were carried out over the summer.

    Investment by firms has proved resilient so far

    After several years of acceleration, the investment appetite of European and American firms is weakening (Figure 1). However, instead of the feared collapse, investment seems to be stabilising as firms continue to invest. The share of EU firms investing remained roughly stable at 86%, compared with 87% in last year’s survey. A marginally higher share of EU firms still expects to increase rather than decrease investment in 2025, although this indicator also points to an easing of investment growth. The pattern in the US is broadly similar, but US firms’ expectations have been revised down from a much more buoyant level.

    Figure 1 Investment cycle and evolution of investment expectations

    Investment activities differ on the two sides of the Atlantic. While EU firms are more likely to invest in replacing capacity, US firms are looking to expand. In the EU, firms have devoted a significant portion of their investment (35%) to intangible assets (such as research and development, training, and software), investing less in land, buildings, and infrastructure than US firms (17 versus 22%). Over the next three years, EU firms will continue to prioritise investment that replace rather than expand capacity, with the share of firms investing to expand operations 11 percentage points below that of the US (26% of EU firms versus 37% of US firms).

    While EU firms continue to invest, they have a negative outlook on the political and regulatory environment and the overall economic climate, with more firms expecting the situation to deteriorate rather than improve in the next 12 months. They also have a balanced view of the business prospects in their sector (Figure 2). In the US, firms are neutral on the political climate (on balance) and somewhat positive on business prospects and the general economic climate.

    Source: European Investment Bank – EIBIS 2018-2025.
    Note: (*) Net balance is the share of firms expecting an improvement minus the share of firms anticipating a deterioration. Negative values thus imply that more firms expect a deterioration than an improvement.

    Adjusting supply chains: US firms focus on domestic sources while EU firms balance efficiency and resilience

    The trade views of EU and US firms differ widely, as well as the economic impacts across various countries (Kawasaki 2025). Among firms engaged in trade, US firms are markedly more concerned about changes in customs and tariffs than EU firms (77% versus 48%). The share of concerned firms in the US has doubled, while in the EU the increase has been marginal (Figure 3). Tariffs have dominated the news, but compliance with new regulations, standards, or certifications remain a concern for many firms. Concerns about other supply chain disruptions have continued to ease in the EU and the US.

    Figure 3 Obstacles related to external trade

    Note: * Base: All firms; ** Base: All importers and exporters
    Source: European Investment Bank – EIBIS 2024-2025.

    The tariff shock immediately affected US supply chains, leading firms to look for domestic suppliers and retrench on trade. With government policies that encourage domestic production and expectations that tariffs will make imports more expensive, a relatively high share of US firms are increasing inventories, substituting imported goods for domestic ones, and diversifying the countries from which they import. EU firms, by contrast, are adopting a more measured approach, balancing efficiency and resilience in their supply chains: only 7% of European firms are engaging in import substitution strategies, reducing their share of imported goods and services, while 19% are diversifying the number of countries from which they import.

    Green transition: EU firms stay the course

    EU firms appear more aware of the consequences of the net zero transition than their American counterparts (Figure 5). When looking at transition risks, EU firms are aware of risks (particularly in Eastern Europe and in some of the Central European countries) and slightly more aware of the opportunities the transition presents (particularly in Northern Europe).

    As a result, 92% of EU firms have taken action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a much higher share than in the US across various investment categories. A higher share of EU firms is investing in waste minimisation, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, renewables, and green innovation. EU firms, particularly larger ones, are also more likely to have performed energy audits or to have their own greenhouse gas emission targets. One notable fact is that the share of US firms that see the transition to a net zero emission economy as a risk has significantly declined since 2024.

    Figure 5 Firm perceptions of the impact of the green transition over the next five years

    Note: Base: All firms (excluding don’t know/refused responses)
    Source: European Investment Bank – EIBIS 2024-2025.

    Firms are more aware of the physical risks associated with climate change and are slowly starting to act on climate adaptation. On both sides of the Atlantic, the share of firms faced with costs from extreme climate-related events is high: 68% in Europe, and 64% in the US. The share of firms acting to deal with physical risks has increased steadily and is relatively similar (55% in the US, 53% in the EU), however, US firms are more likely to have implemented adaptation strategies or investments. The number of firms investing in adaptation is increasing.

    EU firms are investing in digitalisation and AI, but could benefit from applying new technologies more widely

    EU firms have accelerated their adoption of advanced digital technologies to the extent that they their adoption rate now matches those of US firms. This trend is particularly strong in large firms and in the manufacturing sector. A new question in this the EIBIS 2025 survey shows that the adoption rate of generative AI technology is roughly the same on both sides of the Atlantic, at 37% in the EU versus 36% in the US. However, US firms that use big data or AI technologies tend to apply them across more business areas than their European counterparts, highlighting a continuing challenge for adoption in Europe (Figure 6).

    Figure 6 Business areas in which AI tools are used (% of firms)

    Simplification and integration of the EU Single Market present opportunities

    The 2025 survey underlines the importance of simplifying regulation, procedures and market access in the EU. Time spent meeting regulatory requirements is significant for EU firms, with the cost estimated at some 1.1% of companies’ turnover, and as much as to 1.8% among small and medium enterprises.

    Deepening the Single Market remains equally vital to enhancing the EU’s competitiveness: 62% of EU firms perceive the EU market as fragmented for their main product, a share unchanged from 2024. Many barriers remain a drag on investment by firms. Uncertainty remains the most frequently cited barrier, weighing even more on EU than US firms (83% of EU firms are concerned, compared with 68% of US firms). Availability of skills comes second for EU firms (79%), followed by energy costs (75%) and business regulation (69%). Energy costs remain much more of an impediment for firms in the EU than in the US.

    Alongside simplification and market integration, policy incentives also matter. Especially in a period in which policy support needs to balance the strategic priorities with considerations related to debt sustainability (Bouabdallah et al. 2025). Overall, 16% of EU firms that invest were supported by EU policies, compared to 13% among US firms. EU firms have better access to finance at favourable rates than US firms, and comparable access to grants and subsidies. The EIB Investment Report (EIB 2025b), released in March 2025, showed that targeted policy support is more effective. In the EU, policy support tends to be more targeted and ‘greener’ – indeed, policy support is more likely to be linked to a specific objective (61% in Europe, compared with 43% in the United States), with the green economy and innovation being the main policy priorities.
