Aura Announces Q3 2025 and 9M 2025 Financial and Operational Results

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO) (B3: AURA33) (“Aura” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed its audited consolidated financial statements and earnings release (together, “Financial and Operational Results”) for the period ended September 30, 2025. The full version of the Financial and Operational Results can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.auraminerals.com, on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. or on SEC www.sec.com.

“In Q3 2025, Aura achieved a record production of 74,227 GEO at constant prices and an all-time high Adjusted EBITDA of US$152 million, contributing to a trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of US$419 million at an average realized gold price of US$3,068/oz. This performance, bolstered by a realized gold price of US$3,385/oz and Recurring Free Cash Flow of US$115 million in the quarter —up 91% from Q2 2025—was driven by strong operational results across our mines and the successful start of commercial production at Borborema in September 2025, built on time and on budget with zero Lost Time Incidents. Our cost discipline - AISC decreased by 4% compared to Q2 2025 - and Aura 360 commitment enabled us to maintain robust financial performance. We remain focused on delivering consistent shareholder value through our quarterly dividend, advancing the MSG acquisition, and achieving our 2025 production and cost guidance of 266,000-300,000 GEO,” commented Rodrigo Barbosa President and CEO of Aura.

Headlines

  • Total production in Q3 2025 reached 74,227 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), 16% higher than Q2 2025 and also 9% higher when compared to Q3 2024 at current metal prices. At constant prices, Aura’s quarterly production was a record high, increasing by 17% compared to Q2 2025 and increasing 15% over Q3 2024. This result was achieved mainly due to:
    • The increase production at Almas from 12,917 GEO in Q2 2025 to 15,088 GEO in Q3 2025 (+17%), due to higher ore processed volumes, reflecting the results of the plant expansion at Almas, and improved grades due to mine sequencing;
    • The first full quarter of production at Borborema and its achievement of commercial production, producing 10,219 GEO in Q3 2025 (vs. 2,577 GEO in Q2 2025); and
    • The reliable productions at Apoena, Aranzazu and Minosa, which, combined, remained stable in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025

In 9M 2025, the total production reached 198,346 GEO at current prices in line with the same period of 2024. At 2025 Production Guidance Prices, the 9M 2025 production was 203,592 GEO, 3% above 9M 2024, and on track to achieve the 2025 guidance.

  • Sales volumes were 74,907 in GEO this quarter, an increase of 10% compared to Q3 2024 and an increase of 20% compared to the previous quarter at current prices quarter, mainly as result of increase in production.
  • Net Revenues reached a record high of US$247,832 in Q3 2025, representing an increase of 59% compared to Q3 2024 and an increase of 30% when compared to Q2 2025, mainly due to higher gold price and the increase in sales volumes. In 9M 2025, revenues reached US$600,072, an increase of 42% compared to the same period of 2024.
    • Average net realized gold sale prices increased by 6% in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025, with an average of US$3,385/oz in the quarter. Compared to Q3 2024, average net realized gold sale prices increased 40% (US$2,413). In 9M 2025, average net realized gold sale prices reached US$3,146, a 43% increase when compared to 9M 2024.
    • Average copper sale prices increased 6% compared to Q2 2025, with an average of US$4.74/lb in the quarter and was 13% higher compared to the same period in 2024. In 9M 2025, average copper sale prices reached US$4.49, an 8% increase when compared to 9M 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA reached another record high of US$152,105 in Q3 2025, marking the fifth consecutive quarterly record reported by Aura. The increase was driven by a combination of higher metal prices, cash costs under control (as further explained below) and increase in production and sales volumes. When compared to Q3 2024, Adjusted EBITDA reached a 95% increase. In 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 82%, for the same reasons.
  • AISC for Q3 2025 was US$1,396/GEO, a decrease by 4% when compared to Q2 2025 (US$1,449/GEO), mainly due to better performance at Almas (AISC of US$ 1,128/GEO) due to higher ore processed and better grades and improved waste-to-ore ration due to mine sequencing, and as result of the start of operations at Borborema, which while yet in a ramp-up had a lower-than-average AISC profile and recorded an AISC of US$ 1,237/Oz. When compared to Q3 2024, the AISC increased 8% over Q3 2024 at current prices, mainly due to Aranzazu, which was negatively impacted by the conversion of copper into GEO due to the sharp increase in gold prices in the period . At constant Q3 2024 metal prices, AISC would have been in line compared to Q3 2024. In 9M 2025, AISC reached US$1,419, an 8% increase when compared to 9M 2024 at current prices and 3% increase in constant prices.
  • The Company's Net Debt reached US$63,772 by Q3 2025 a 77% decrease compared to Q2 2025 and also a decrease of 56% when compared to the same period of 2024, due to (i) higher cash position due to the net proceeds from Nasdaq IPO of US$200.1 million, (ii) strong Recurring Free Cash Flows, and (ii) the significant reduction in the CAPEX 18.7 million, from US$50.3 million, in Q2 2025 to US$31.6million, a 37% decrease, mostly due to the conclusion of the Borborema construction. The net debt-to-last 12 months Adjusted EBITDA ratio reduced to 0.15x at the end of Q3 2025, from 0.81x at the end of Q2 2025.

OTHER UPDATES:

Exercise of the Underwriters’ Option to Purchase Additional Shares: In August 2025, Aura closed the sale of 897,134 common shares for approximately US$21.8 million as a result of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares granted to them in connection with the U.S. Initial Public Offering at the public offering price of US$24.25 per common share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

Delist from Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX): On September 8th, 2025, Aura decided to pursue the Delisting of the Common Shares from the TSX following the completion of listing its Common Shares on Nasdaq on July 16th, 2025, along with its intention to consolidate the trading in the U.S. equity market, which the Company expects will improve its stock liquidity. This change was approved by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“Comissão de Valores Mobiliários“ or “CVM”), since it does not affect the rights of holders of BDRs listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) under the symbol "AURA33”, which continued to be supported by Common Shares, listed on Nasdaq. This change took effect on September 5, 2025 and the shares were no longer traded on the TSX as of September 25, 2025.

Borborema commercial production: On September 23rd, 2025, Aura announced the beginning of Borborema gold mine commercial production. The Borborema mine mill operates above 80% of the design capacity, processing 4,500 tonnes per day, with recoveries consistently above 90% and ranging up to 92%. The mine sold in Q3 2025 a total of 10,095 GEO. Borborema is poised to become a cornerstone asset for Aura, anticipated to deliver the second highest annual gold production among the Company’s five operating mines. Built in just 19 months with zero lost time incidents, the project exemplifies Aura’s commitment to developing simple, scalable, and efficient operations. It also sets a benchmark in ESG performance, incorporating renewable energy sources and utilizing grey water from the local municipality.

Incentive Program for the Conversion of BDRs into Shares: In October 2025, Aura announced to the holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("BDRs") the launch of the Incentive Program for the conversion of BDRs into common shares (“Incentive Program”), under which holders may request the conversion of their BDRs (“AURA33”) into the underlying common shares (“AUGO”) listed on Nasdaq (“common shares”), at a ratio of three to one, without being required to pay the applicable fees charged by Banco Bradesco. The Incentive Program is available for a fixed period of 32 days, from October 6, 2025, to November 6, 2025 (“Subsidy Period”).

Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q3 2025: Copper price = US$4.45/lb; Gold Price = US$3,477/oz; Silver Price = US$40.03/oz and Molybdenum Price = US$25.02/oz.

Total production in Q3 2025 reached 74,227 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), 16% higher than Q2 2025 and 9% higher when compared to Q3 2024 at current metal prices, mainly due to negative impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu. At constant prices, Aura’s quarterly production was record high, increasing by 17% compared to Q2 2025 and 15% above Q3 2024. When compared to the last quarter, the result was mainly attributable to stronger operational performance driven by higher ore processed volumes and improved grades at Almas and the production increase of Borborema.

During the quarter, Aura announced the beginning of commercial operation of Borborema — anticipated to be one of the Company’s largest and lowest cash cost operations. In the quarter, Borborema’s production totaled 10,219 GEO.

In 9M 2025, production reached 198,346 GEO, representing a 1% decline in current metal prices. At constant prices — which neutralize the effect of copper price fluctuations in the GEO conversion at Aranzazu —production had an increase of 5% over the 185,979 GEO produced in 9M 2024, also due to Borborema production and Almas improvements. At 2025 Production Guidance Prices, the 9M 2025 production was 203,592 GEO, 3% above 9M 2024, and on track to achieve the 2025 guidance.

At current metal prices, production in Q3 2025 represents 75% of the lower end and 66% of the upper end of the full-year guidance. At 2025 Production Guidance Prices, the 9M 2025 production was 203,592 GEO, representing 77% of the lower end and 68% of the upper end of the full-year guidance. This performance reinforces the Company’s confidence in achieving its 2025 guidance.

In Q3 2025, the Company reported Net Revenue of US$247.8 million, representing a 59% increase year-over-year and a 30% increase compared to Q2 2025. The strong performance was primarily driven by the sales increase and higher metal prices, with the average realized gold price increasing by 40%, from US$2,413/oz in Q3 2024 to US$3,385/oz in Q3 2025. Copper prices also contributed positively, with the average copper price increasing by 13%, from US$4.18/lb in Q3 2024 to US$4.74/lb in Q3 2025. Compared to the last quarter, molybdenum average realized sale price also increased by 15%, reaching US$25/lb.

With this result, Net Revenues reached US$600,072 in 9M 2025, an increase of 42% when compared to the same period of 2024. The result was mainly driven by higher gold prices, higher sales at Almas and of the start of operations at Borborema. In 9M 2025, average net realized prices reached US$3,146, a 43% increase when compared to 9M 2024; and average copper prices reached US$4.49/lb, an 8% increase when compared to 9M 2024.

For Q3 2025, the Company’s Cash Cost was US$1,110/GEO, an increase of 12% over Q3 2024 mainly attributed to the increase in costs at Aranzazu, due to impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion in production, and lower production at Minosa. When compared to Q2 2025, Cash Cost was 3% lower, due to improvements at Almas and Apoena driven by higher grades and higher recovery rates, respectively, partially offset by higher costs at Aranzazu and Borborema.

In 9M 2025, Cash Cost averaged US$1,133/GEO, representing an 11% increase, mainly due to lower grades at Apoena and higher waste to ore ratio and the impact of the copper into GEO conversion at Aranzazu. This result was also impacted by lower stacking at Minosa due to higher rainfall in 2025 than 2024, due to the unusually low rain season in Minosa in 2024. At constant 2024 metal prices, Cash Cost of 9M 2025 was US$1,060/GEO, a 4% increase.

In Q3 2025, consolidated All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,396/GEO, up 8% from Q3 2024 due to higher Cash Costs and partially explained by the negative impact of metal prices on GEO conversion. At Q3 2024 constant metal prices, AISC was in line with Q3 2024. For 9M 2025, AISC was US$1,419/GEO, a 9% increase from 9M 2024, mainly due to copper-to-GEO conversion. Compared to Q2 2025, AISC reduced 4% due to the positive performance of Almas and lower than Aura’s average AISC for Borborema.

In the quarter, Cost of goods sold (COGS) was directly impacted by the inclusion of Borborema and reflected an increase of 14% compared to Q2 2025 and 17% versus Q3 2024. In Q3 2025, Borborema accounted for US$12.9 million in costs. Excluding this impact, total COGS for the quarter would have been approximately US$85.6 million, consistent with Q2 2025 levels. For 9M 2025, total COGS rose 6%, also driven by Borborema’s start up, which represented US$13.8 million of the total. Excluding Borborema, cost increase versus 2024 would have been around 1%, demonstrating that, under comparable conditions, the Company maintained stable costs, reflecting Aura’s disciplined cost management and operational efficiency.

In Q3 2025, disciplined cost management, aligned with Q3 2024 on a comparable basis, and a significant rise in Net Revenue drove Gross Profit to US$149.6 million, achieving a Gross Margin of 60%. This represents a more than twofold increase from the US$72.2 million Gross Profit in Q3 2024. For 9M 2025, Gross Profit reached US$332.0 million, nearly doubling the 9M 2024 figure, propelled by cost containment strategies and a 42% increase in Net Revenue for the reasons discussed.

Operating Expenses totaled US$12.7 million in the quarter, 2% lower than Q2 2025 and 13% higher than Q3 2024.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased by 8% compared to Q2 2025, primarily reflecting the absence of certain non-recurring expenses related to the Nasdaq IPO incurred in the previous quarter. When compared to Q3 2024, G&A expenses increased by US$3.5 million, mainly due to: (i) higher stock-based compensation (non-cash) and Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) expenses, driven by the significant appreciation in the Company’s share price during the period; (ii) increased Directors and Officers (“D&O”) insurance premiums following the Nasdaq listing; and (iii) an increase in other general and administrative costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in G&A expenses was driven by the same factors, as well as higher salaries and benefits and professional fees associated with the acquisition and incorporation of Era Dorada, the start-up of Borborema, and activities related to the Nasdaq IPO.

Exploration expenses totaled US$2.3 million in Q3 2025, a 36% increase compared to Q2 2025 and 46% reduction from Q3 2024, as most expenses related to exploration activities in the quarter were capitalized. Exploration activities in the quarter were concentrated in Apoena. In Matupá, efforts were focused on expanding reserves in regions close to X1, Pé Quente and other strategic areas. In Carajás, exploration work successfully confirmed copper mineralization, expanding the mineral potential of the region.

The Company thus ended Q3 2025 with Operating Income of US$137.6 million, compared to an Operating Income of US$90.9 million in Q3 2024, also higher compared to the Operating Income of Q2 2025 of US$90.9 million, which reflects a positive result of higher gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA reached a new all-time high of US$152.1 million in Q3 2025, marking the fifth consecutive quarterly record for Aura. The Company’s increase in production, while maintaining disciplined cost control, enabled it to fully capture the benefit of rising metal prices. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA almost doubled compared to Q3 2024 and grew 43% over Q2 2025.

The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by higher production and sales volumes, strong cost control and higher gold and copper prices, as discussed previously. This result was also noted on the EBITDA margin gain of 6 p.p. compared to Q2 2025, supported not only by stronger metal prices but also by a 20% increase in sales volume.

In 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$339.8 million, representing an 82% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This result reflects also the positive impact of higher metal prices and increases in production. As a result, the Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 57%, up from 44% in 9M 2024.

The Company’s Financial Result in Q3 2025 was a loss of US$(102.6) million, following on from the US$(59.6) million loss in Q2 2025, impacted by:

  • Unrealized loss on gold hedges in Q3 2025, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting increase in gold prices between the start and the end of the quarter, coming from US$3,287.45 per Oz and reaching US$ 3,825.30 per Oz at the end of the period. In accordance with IFRS standards, the Company records MTM adjustments at the end of each reporting period for all outstanding derivative positions.
  • Realized losses with gold hedges in Q3 2025 were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter.

Most of Aura’s outstanding gold collars (213,192 Ozs out of about 214,442 Ozs) are associated with the future production of the Borborema and will expire between October/2025 and Jun/2028. As previously disclosed, about 80% of the production for the first 3 years of the Borborema Project is hedged at ceiling prices of US$2,400.

Net income in Q3 2025 was US$5.6 million, compared to Net Loss of US$(11.9) million in Q3 2024 and a Net income of US$8.1 million in Q2 2025. This result versus Q3 2024 occurred mainly due to higher operating income, which increased by 125% as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher financial expenses related to gold derivative losses and higher current income taxes, as expected given the operating income increase.

In 9M 2025, Net Loss reached US$(59.5) million, also mainly due to mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open gold hedging positions, driven by increase in gold price between the start and the end of the period.

Adjusted Net Income

As result of increase in the Company’s Operating Income, adjusted net income in Q3 2025 was US$68.7 million in the period, compared to US$34.6 million in Q3 2024, excluding:

  • Non-cash losses related to gold hedges: US$(75.2) million
  • FX losses: US$(0.36) million
  • Deferred taxes over non-monetary items US$12.2 million

Note: Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q3 2025: Copper price = US$4.45/lb; Gold Price = US$3,477/oz; Silver Price = US$40.03/oz and Molybdenum Price = US$25.02/oz.

At Aranzazu, production reached 21,534 GEO, representing a 3% decrease compared to the previous quarter, resulting mainly from metal prices since higher gold prices negatively impact the conversion to GEO. When compared to Q3 2024, production decreased by 12% also due to the sharp increase in gold prices between the periods which also impacted GEO conversion. At constant prices, Aranzazu production was in line when compared to Q2 2025 (21,805 GEO) and 4% higher when compared to Q3 2024, also due to higher copper and silver grades, closing the quarter with copper grade of 1.55% and silver grade of 22.26 g/tonne. In the 9M 2025, total production at current prices decreased by 13% compared to the previous quarter, reaching 64,271, in line with the negative impact of the metals price conversion. At 9M 2024 constant prices, Aranzazu produced 62,046 GEO, 4% higher than the same period of the previous year, mainly due to higher grades – around 4% of gold and silver, closing the period with an average of 0.86 g/tonne and 22.24 g/tonne, respectively - and molybdenum production.

Aranzazu’s Net Revenue in Q3 2025 was US$67.1 million, up 7% from Q2 2025 and 32% from Q3 2024, primarily driven by higher metal prices. Average sales prices rose quarter-over-quarter, with copper increasing 3%, gold 6%, silver 19%, and molybdenum 15%. For 9M 2025, Aranzazu’s Net Revenue reached US$179.9 million, a 25% increase over 9M 2024, also attributed to elevated metal prices.

The Cash Cost was US$1,133/GEO for the quarter, 2% higher than Q2 2025 and 14% higher than Q3 2024, with slightly lower grades and recovery. In 9M 2025, Cash Cost increased by 18%, with a total of US$1,135/GEO, primarily impacted by the effect of metal prices in the conversion to GEO.

Aranzazu’s AISC was US$1,511 in the quarter, consistent with Q2 2025 but up 13% from Q3 2024, primarily due to variations in metal prices and increased G&A expenses. At constant Q3 2024 metal prices, AISC was US$1,273/GEO. For 9M 2025, AISC at constant metal prices reduced 5% from 9M 2024.

Aranzazu’s Adjusted EBITDA was US$39.6 million in Q3 2025, reflecting an 11% increase from Q2 2025 and a 63% surge compared to Q3 2024, driven by robust Net Revenue growth from higher metal prices. For 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$99.9 million, up 52% from 9M 2024, propelled by a 25% increase in Net Revenue, primarily from elevated metal prices and stable Cost of Goods Sold.

In Q3 2025, Apoena production was 9,248 GEO, up 13% from Q2 2025, driven by improved recovery rates of 95%. Compared to Q3 2024, production rose 15%, fueled by higher recovery rates and increased processed tonnage. For 9M 2025, production fell 12% versus 9M 2024, primarily due to elevated grades in 9M 2024, particularly in Q1 2024, from the high-grade Ernesto pit. Overall, 2025 performance exceeded Company expectations.

Apoena’s Net Revenue totaled US$31.2 million for Q3 2025, 17% higher than Q2 2025 and 62% above the Q3 2024, driven primarily by increased sales volume and higher gold prices. In 9M 2025, Apoena reached a Net Revenue of US$84.3 million, an increase of 31% compared to 9M 2024, supported by higher gold prices that partially offset lower sales volume during the period.

The Cash Cost was US$1,082/GEO for the quarter, down 1% from Q3 2024 and 7% from Q2 2025. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by improved recovery rates, partially offset by a higher strip ratio during the development phase. Year over year, Apoena’s Cash Cost rose 18% to US$1,082/GEO in Q3 2025, driven by an increased waste-to-ore ratio from 6.56 tonnes in Q3 2024 to 19.04 tonnes in Q3 2025, combined with lower grades. For 9M 2025, All-in Sustaining Cost increased 16% to US$1,867/GEO, primarily due to lower grades, consistent with expected mine sequencing. In Q3 2025, Apoena’s AISC was US$1,791/GEO,mostly stable compared to Q2 2025, due to the increased lease expenses.

Apoena’s Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2025 reached US$20.7 million, a 115% increase from Q3 2024 and 28% higher than Q2 2025, driven by a 62% rise in Net Revenue from higher sales volume and gold prices. For 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was US$50.4 million, up 54% from 9M 2024, supported by a 31% increase in Net Revenue from higher gold prices, despite an AISC due to lower grades and mine sequencing.

In Q3 2025, Minosa produced 18,138 GEO, another stable quarter and in line when compared to the previous quarter, resulting from higher grades processed during the quarter and higher recovery rate, which achieved 68%. When compared to the same quarter last year, production decreased by 13%, due to lower stacking in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 due to higher rainfall in Q3 2025. In the 9M 2025, production decreased 9% mainly due to lower ore feed to the plant, reflecting mine sequencing and weather-related constraints, and was consistent with Aura’s expectations.

Net Revenue totaled US$59.2 million in Q3 2025, up 6% from Q2 2025, while in comparison to Q3 2024 it grew 20%, mainly due to the increase in the price of gold over the period. In 9M 2025, Net Revenue reached US$163.0 million, 27% higher than 9M 2024.

The Cash Cost was US$1,192/GEO in Q3 2025, 1% higher than Q2 2025 and 9% higher than Q3 2024, driven by lower production due to reduced stacking volumes. For 9M 2025, Cash Cost was US$1,173/GEO, an 8% increase from 9M 2024, attributed to lower grades and slightly elevated mine costs. The All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) for Q3 2025 was US$1,372/GEO, up 6% from Q2 2025 and 26% from Q3 2024, primarily due to higher Capital Expenditures (CAPEX). For 9M 2025, AISC was US$1,305/GEO, an 11% increase over 9M 2024, reflecting the combined impact of lower grades and increased CAPEX.

In Q3 2025, Minosa’s Adjusted EBITDA reached US$35.5 million, up 32% from Q3 2024 and 5% from Q2 2025, driven by higher gold prices, despite reduced production from lower stacking volumes due to increased rainfall and higher CAPEX. For 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was US$96.1 million, a 61% increase from 9M 2024, supported by elevated gold prices, though impacted by lower grades, higher mine costs, and increased CAPEX due to mine sequencing and weather constraints.

During Q3 2025, Almas produced 15,088 GEO, 17% higher than Q2 2025 (12,917 GEO), driven by improved grades (1.01 g/ton vs. 0.94g/ton) and higher ore processed volumes, reflecting the results of the plant expansion. Production was in line when compared to Q3 2024, due to the higher ore processed, as the grades decreased due to mine sequencing (1.21 g/ton in Q3 2024). In the 9M 2025, production increased 10%, driven by a higher volume of ore processed, due to the plant capacity expansion.

Net Revenue was US$51.3 million in Q3 2025, up 39% from Q3 2024, driven by increased sales volumes, supported by higher ore processing from the plant expansion, and elevated metal prices. Compared to Q2 2025, Net Revenue rose 23%, primarily due to a significant rise in gold prices and a 17% increase in production volumes. For 9M 2025, Net Revenue was US$130.2 million, a 52% increase from 9M 2024, fueled by higher sales volumes from enhanced operational capacity and larger equipment, alongside higher metal prices.

The Cash Cost was US$986/GEO in Q3 2025, 10% higher than Q3 2024, driven by lower grades due to mine sequencing. Compared to Q2 2025, Cash Cost fell 16%, attributed to a production plan with a lower waste-to-ore (from 6.08 to 4.44) ratio and higher grades (up 7% from 0.94 to 1.01). For 9M 2025, Cash Cost remained in line with 9M 2024. Almas’ All-in Sustaining Cost was US$1,128/GEO in Q3 2025, down 5% from Q3 2024, supported by improved operational performance and reduced CAPEX. Compared to Q2 2025, AISC decreased 17%, due to lower CAPEX and G&A expenses. In 9M 2025, the AISC was US$1,223, a decrease of 8% compared to the same period in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$34.5 million in Q3 2025, 51% higher than Q3 2024 result, driven by increased ore processing from the plant expansion, improved operational performance, higher sales volumes, and elevated gold prices. Compared to Q2 2025, Adjusted EBITDA rose 38%, primarily due to higher gold prices and a 17% increase in production volumes. For 9M 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was US$81.7 million, an 86% increase from 9M 2024, supported by higher sales volumes from expanded operational capacity, despite stable Cash Costs and an 8% reduction in AISC to US$1,223/GEO.

Note: Borborema’s Q2 2025 results did not presented significant sales due to the beginning of gold production on its ramp-up phase, while Q3 2025 counts with a full quarter of relevant sales. Due to this, the results of Q3 2025 and Q2 2025 are not comparable.

Borborema production in Q3 2025 totaled 10,219 GEO advancing along the ramp-up curve and achieving commercial production in September 2025 as scheduled.

In Q3 2025, Borborema’s Net Revenue reached US$38.9 million, contributing to a 9M 2025 Net Revenue of US$42.7 million. The Cash Cost was US$1,127 per Gold Equivalent Ounce (GEO) in Q3 2025, in line with Company expectations for the mine’s ramp-up phase, which began with the first gold production shipped in June 2025. Borborema’s All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,237/GEO in Q3 2025, also in line with the Company’s expectations for this stage of Borborema.

Adjusted EBITDA was US$25.1 million in Q3 2025, driven by strong Net Revenue from 10,219 GEO produced and favorable gold prices.

In Q3 2025, Recurring Free Cash Flow reached US$74.6 million, up 24% from Q2 2025 and 13% from Q3 2024. Compared to Q2 2025, the increase was primarily driven by:

  • 43% rise in Adjusted EBITDA to US$152.1 million, due to higher sales volumes and higher metal prices;
  • 21% reduction in income taxes paid (from US$22.6 million to US$17.8 million), as in Q2 2025 there were annual adjustment tax payments in Minosa;
  • These were partially offset by:
    • “Working Capital, Changes in Other Assets and Liabilities and Others outflow of US$26.0 million, mainly due to increase in low-grades stockpiles in Almas and Borborema; and
    • increase in realized losses on gold hedges (to US$17.1 million), resulted from the gold price increase.

______________________________
1 Key Factors:
The Company’s future profitability, operating cash flow and financial position will be directly related to prevailing gold and copper prices. Key factors that influence the price of gold and copper include, among others, the supply and demand for gold and copper, the relative strength of currencies (especially the US dollar) and macroeconomic factors, such as current and future expectations for inflation and interest rates. Management believes that the economic environment in the short and medium term should remain relatively favorable with respect to commodity prices, albeit with continued volatility.
To reduce the risks associated with commodity prices and currency volatility, the Company will continue to assess and deploy hedging programs. For more information on this subject, please refer to the Reference Form.
Other key factors influencing profitability and operating cash flows are: production levels (affected by grades, ore quantities, process recoveries, labor, country stability and availability of facilities and equipment); production and processing costs (impacted by production levels, prices and the use of key consumables, labor, inflation and exchange rates), and other factors.

Set out below are reconciliations for certain non-GAAP financial measures (including non-GAAP ratios) utilized by the Company in this Earnings Release: Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted net Income, cash operating costs per gold equivalent ounce sold; AISCs; Net Debt; and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
