Year in review
Statements
FY2026 was another year of exceptional delivery for CMC, against a second half defined by extreme volatility.
It therefore gives me great pride that against this volatile backdrop CMC has delivered a strong financial performance whilst supporting our B2B and institutional partners, and executing against the most ambitious product and infrastructure programme in the Company's history, with acceleration on all fronts.
