Teck Reports Unaudited Fourth Quarter Results for 2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teck Resources Limited (TSX:TECK, NYSE:TECK) (Teck) today announced its unaudited fourth quarter results for 2025.

"Teck closed out 2025 with strong momentum, delivering robust Q4 financial performance underpinned by significantly higher copper prices and operating performance in line with plan," said Jonathan Price, President and CEO. "At Quebrada Blanca, we continued to make meaningful progress on ramp‑up, with improving production and tailings management facility development, supporting unlocking the full value of this exceptional resource. We advanced the proposed merger of equals between Teck and Anglo American, with shareholders voting overwhelmingly in favour and a key approval secured under the Investment Canada Act. Looking ahead to 2026, Teck is well positioned to deliver disciplined execution of our business plans and progress the merger and integration planning to create a global top‑five copper company."

Highlights

The proposed merger of equals (the Merger) with Anglo American plc to form Anglo Teck advanced during the fourth quarter with Teck shareholders voting overwhelmingly in favour of the transaction on December 9, 2025, and the Government of Canada granting approval of the Merger under the Investment Canada Act on December 15, 2025.

On October 7, 2025, we announced the completion of our Comprehensive Operational Review and Updated Outlook. Progress on the QB Action Plan continued in the fourth quarter with development of the tailings management facility (TMF) proceeding as planned with progressive improvement in sand drainage rates and dam development.

Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.5 billion in Q4 2025 was $678 million higher than the same period last year, driven by significantly higher copper prices and increased revenue from by-products. Our profit from continuing operations before taxes was $792 million in Q4 2025.

Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders1 in Q4 2025, was $671 million, or $1.37 per share and profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $544 million or $1.11 per share.

We ended the year in a net cash1 position, supported by $1.3 billion of cash flow generated from operations in Q4 2025. Our liquidity as at February 18, 2026 is $9.3 billion, including $5.2 billion of cash.

Our copper segment generated gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 of $1.1 billion in Q4 2025 compared to $732 million in the same period last year, driven by higher copper prices, which averaged US$5.03 per pound in the fourth quarter, and lower smelter processing charges. Gross profit from our copper business was $747 million in Q4 2025.

Copper prices rose significantly during Q4 2025 and closed at US$5.67 per pound at year end.

Our zinc segment generated gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 of $305 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $320 million in the same period last year. Lower zinc sales volumes from Red Dog, due to the timing of shipments, were largely offset by improved profitability at our Trail Operations. Gross profit from our zinc business was $243 million in Q4 2025.

Our annual High-Potential Incident (HPI) frequency rate improved to 0.06, equal to our best annual result achieved for Teck-controlled operations and 50% lower than last year.

Key Updates

Teck and Anglo American plc Merger of Equals

On September 9, 2025, Teck and Anglo American plc announced the Merger to form Anglo Teck, a global critical minerals champion headquartered in Canada. Both Anglo American plc and Teck believe the Merger will be highly attractive for their respective shareholders and stakeholders, enhancing portfolio quality, financial and operational resilience and strategic positioning.

The Merger is expected to deliver annual pre-tax synergies of approximately US$800 million, with approximately 80% expected to be realized on a run-rate basis by the end of the second year following completion. Anglo Teck will also work with key stakeholders and partners to optimize the value of the adjacent Collahuasi and Quebrada Blanca assets to realize US$1.4 billion (100% basis) of annual average underlying EBITDA2 uplift from 2030-2049.

On December 9, 2025, shareholders of both Teck and Anglo American plc approved the Merger as required under the arrangement agreement.

On December 15, 2025, Teck and Anglo American received regulatory approval from the Government of Canada under the Investment Canada Act (ICA) for the Merger.

The Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions globally. The parties continue to work collaboratively toward securing the required approvals and advancing the transaction to completion.

QB Action Plan Update and Q4 Performance

In 2025, production at QB was constrained by the pace of development of the TMF, requiring downtime in the concentrator to manage the rate of tailings rise. Our priority remains enabling safe, unconstrained production by raising the crest height of the dam. This is being delivered through construction of additional rock benches while continuing to progress efforts to improve sand drainage to support construction of the sand dam.

Q4 2025 copper production at QB was 55,400 tonnes, an increase of 15,800 tonnes compared with Q3 2025 and the strongest quarterly performance of 2025. Q4 2025 performance was driven by the continued development of the TMF, focus on operational stability initiatives and progress towards steady-state operations.

Q4 2025 molybdenum production at QB was 690 tonnes, the highest quarterly production to date, with continued ramp-up of the molybdenum plant with the focus on operational stability.

In Q4 2025, development of the TMF advanced as planned, supporting effective management of freeboard levels and enabling continuous operations.

QB achieved progressive improvement in sand drainage rates during the fourth quarter. We completed the full replacement of the cyclone technology, which reduced the amount of ultra fines present in the sand, and successfully implemented refined sand placement improvements. The sand wedge development is progressing as per plan and, with improved sand drainage rates, we expect completion of the sand wedge in 2026. Work also advanced in the fourth quarter on the construction of the remaining rock benches, in line with expectations.

Throughput improved progressively throughout the fourth quarter with December achieving the highest monthly rate of throughput in 2025, and in line with rates achieved in Q4 2024. Recoveries remained consistent over the quarter and within plan based on the type of ore being processed. Copper grades continued to align with plan and were 0.59% on average in the fourth quarter.

Copper sales volumes from QB in Q4 2025 of 41,600 tonnes were lower than production, primarily due to a short-term build-up in inventory resulting from weather and sea conditions in December, which delayed shipments into early 2026.

Shiploader repairs at QB's port facility were completed at the end of January 2026. The first successful shipments were loaded in early February and normal operation of the shiploader has resumed.

QB net cash unit costs1 for 2025 of US$2.67 per pound were at the lower end of our previously disclosed 2025 annual guidance range of US$2.65–US$3.00 per pound. QB net cash unit costs1 in the fourth quarter increased from the same period last year mainly due to lower copper production, offset partially by lower operating costs and higher molybdenum by-product credits.

Safety and Sustainability Leadership

Our annual High-Potential Incident (HPI) frequency rate improved to 0.06, equal to our best annual result achieved for Teck-controlled operations. The rate is 50% lower than the 2024 annual rate of 0.12.

On November 18, 2025, Teck was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for the ninth consecutive year by Mediacorp Canada's Top Employers program, which recognizes companies for exceptional human resource programs and innovative workplace policies.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOSOur annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our interim financial results are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). This document refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, which are not measures recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States.

The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below do not have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, For adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, we adjust profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as reported to remove the after-tax effect of certain types of transactions that reflect measurement changes on our balance sheet or are not indicative of our normal operating activities.

EBITDA, EBITDA is profit before net finance expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as described above.

Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that disclosing these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash-generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity to fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends.

Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations, Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders divided by average number of shares outstanding in the period.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders divided by average number of fully diluted shares in a period.

Gross profit before depreciation and amortization, Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization expense added back. We believe this measure assists us and readers to assess our ability to generate cash flow from our reportable segments or overall operations.

Total cash unit costs, Total cash unit costs for our copper and zinc operations includes adjusted cash costs of sales, as described below, plus the smelter and refining charges added back in determining adjusted revenue. This presentation allows a comparison of total cash unit costs, including smelter charges, to the underlying price of copper or zinc in order to assess the margin for the mine on a per unit basis.

Net cash unit costs, Net cash unit costs of principal product, after deducting co-product and by-product margins, are also a common industry measure. By deducting the co- and by-product margin per unit of the principal product, the margin for the mine on a per unit basis may be presented in a single metric for comparison to other operations.

Adjusted cash cost of sales, Adjusted cash cost of sales for our copper and zinc operations is defined as the cost of the product delivered to the port of shipment, excluding depreciation and amortization charges, any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions and by-product cost of sales. It is common practice in the industry to exclude depreciation and amortization, as these costs are non-cash, and discounted cash flow valuation models used in the industry substitute expectations of future capital spending for these amounts.

Total debt, Total debt is the sum of debt plus lease liabilities, including the current portions of debt and lease liabilities.

Net debt (cash), Net debt (cash) is total debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Net cash is the amount by which our cash balance exceeds our total debt balance.
