flag Sasol's half-year profit fell 34% in 2025 due to low oil prices, project impairments, and weak demand, but it cut debt and generated positive free cash flow.

flag Sasol reported a 34% drop in half-year profit for the six months ending December 2025, with headline earnings per share falling to R9.27, driven by lower oil and chemical prices, impairments at its Secunda refinery and Mozambique gas project, and weak global demand. flag EBIT dropped 52% to R4.6 billion, while adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to R21 billion. flag Despite a 43% cut in capital expenditure and cost controls, the company maintained no dividend due to net debt above $3 billion. flag However, it generated positive free cash flow for the first time in four years and reduced net debt to R63.3 billion, with liquidity exceeding $4 billion. flag The company secured over 1,200MW of renewable energy capacity and revised full-year capital spending down to R22–24 billion, while lowering international chemicals earnings outlook amid ongoing market challenges.
