LONDON--Glencore PLC, buoyed by higher commodity prices, swung
into the black last year, an eye-popping recovery for the Swiss
mining giant that a year ago reported billions in losses.
The U.K.-listed miner on Tuesday reported net income of $1.4
billion for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, compared with a $4.9
billion net loss the previous year. Revenue rose to $152.9 billion
last year from $147.4 billion a year ago, adjusted for discontinued
operations.
Glencore's net debt fell to $15.5 billion by year-end from $25.9
billion at the end of 2015, as higher commodity prices, a dividend
suspension and $4.7 billion in asset sales took pressure off the
Swiss mining giant's balance sheet.
"Glencore's full-year results were better than anticipated," RBC
Capital Markets analysts Tyler Broda wrote in a note.
With Glencore's balance sheet in better shape, investors will
look for signs of whether its chief executive, Ivan Glasenberg, is
looking to do more deals.
