How De Beers (May Have) Bounced Back

Share No one will say that 2020 was a good year for the diamond industry or the world. But for De Beers, at least, 2021 is starting on an upbeat note. The company could use it. Its recent financial results are almost a sea of down arrows: Total sales decreased by 27% to $3.4 billion, with rough diamond sales falling 30% to $2.8 billion. De Beers produced 18% less diamonds last year. Underlying EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) decreased by 25% to $417 million. That EBIDTA number is particularly interesting in that it was almost all generated in the second half of the year when those earnings hit $415 million. In the first half, the number was a far less $2 million.
