Perenti's fifth straight year of guidance delivery marks a milestone for new CEO Vanessa Torres. The underground mining specialist relies on gold and copper for 66% of revenue.
Perenti Ltd. on Friday said it met its financial guidance for the fifth consecutive year. The milestone came during Vanessa Torres’ first earnings call as chief executive.
Roughly 66% of the company’s fiscal 2026 revenue came from underground mining, mostly gold and copper projects. Perenti operates 20 mines across 12 countries and employs about 10,000 people. It services more than 160 clients.
Torres presented the results alongside Chief Financial Officer Michael Ellis. She described Perenti’s portfolio as a "diversified suite of businesses" spanning the full mining life cycle, from drilling to underground contract mining. The company has operations in Australia, Africa, the Americas and other regions.
“We aim to be the safest and most productive in industry, which unlocks enduring value and certainty for our people, our clients, our communities and ultimately deliver sustainable returns for our shareholders,” Torres said on the call.
The company’s revenue mix reflects its underground focus. That concentration leaves Perenti tied to the health of precious and base metals markets. Gold and copper prices have been volatile this year. Perenti’s long-term contracts with mine operators provide some cushion.
Torres emphasized that the company’s geographic spread and service breadth help it weather downturns in any single region or commodity. “This is my first reporting period as CEO for Perenti, and I am very pleased to be announcing another year that Perenti has delivered to our guidance,” she said.
Perenti did not disclose specific full-year financial figures on the call. The company said it would continue to focus on returning cash to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, though it did not announce a new payout.
The company’s forward order book remains tied to its existing mine contracts. Torres said Perenti’s priority is to “maximize returns for our shareholders” by maintaining safety and productivity standards across its 20 mine sites.
