As a result, cash flow before loans, debt payments, and dividends totaled $39 million. On the financing side, we can see a net debt reduction of $96 million, reflecting our liability management efforts and consistency in our debt reduction strategy. Additionally, during the year, we successfully issued a 12-year bond in April and completed the full redemption and partial tender offer of two earlier maturity bonds. Towards the end of the year, we also executed early repayments of some debt facilities, along with our regular lease liability payments. These actions were essential to further strengthen our maturity profile and advance our overall debt reduction strategy. Furthermore, we also distributed $48 million in dividends, including share premium reimbursements and payments to non-controlling interests.

Speaker #2: As a result, cash flow before loans, debt payments, and dividends totaled $39 million. On the financing side, we can see a net debt reduction of $96 million.

Speaker #2: Reflecting our liability management efforts and consistency in our debt reduction strategy. Additionally, during the year, we successfully issued a 12-year bond in April and completed the full redemption and partial tender offer of two earlier maturity bonds.

Speaker #2: Towards the end of the year, we also executed early repayments of some debt facilities, along with a regular lease liability payment. These actions were essential to further strengthen our maturity profile and advance our overall debt reduction strategy.

José Carlos del Valle: Towards the end of the year, we also executed early repayments of some debt facilities, along with our regular lease liability payments.

Furthermore, we also distributed $48 million in dividends, including share premium reimbursements and payments to non-controlling interests.

Speaker #2: Furthermore, we also distributed $48 million in dividends, including share premium reimbursements and payments to non-controlling interest. After these movements, free cash flow for the full year was negative $105 million.

José Carlos del Valle: After these movements, free cash flow for the full year was negative $105 million. Importantly, this outcome reflects deliberate capital allocation decisions, including debt reduction and shareholder distributions, while maintaining strong operating cash generation. With that, let's move to slide number 12. As you can see, our liquidity position remains robust, supporting a solid balance sheet and an extended debt maturity profile. We close a quarter with total liquidity of $842 million, including our undrawn $320 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility. Our average debt maturity increased to 7.6 years, compared to 5.6 years at the end of 2024, with an average cost of debt of 6.49%. This improvement reflects our proactive liability management actions during the year.

José Carlos del Valle: Importantly, our available liquidity, excluding the RCF, covers all financial commitments over the next 5 years. Net leverage improved to 1.7x, down from 2.2x in the previous quarter, supported by higher last twelve-month EBITDA and a reduction in net debt. We continue to optimize our capital structure through funding diversification and disciplined liquidity management. Maintaining a maturity profile that is aligned with the last mine prospects of our assets remains a priority, while preserving our investment grade rating and a competitive cost of capital. Looking ahead, we remain committed to further deleveraging and reducing gross debt over time, with a target of lowering interest expenses and enhancing financial flexibility. I will now hand the call back to Rodrigo to discuss market fundamentals.

Speaker #2: Finally, net leverage improved to 1.7 times, down from 2.2 times in the previous quarter. Supported by higher last 12-month EBITDA and a reduction in net debt.

Speaker #1: Thank you, José Carlos. Turn now to the zinc and copper markets on slide number 13. As you can see, zinc prices remain well supported throughout 2025.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, José Carlos. Turn now to the zinc and copper markets on slide number 13. As you can see, zinc prices remained well supported throughout 2025. This strength was largely driven by persistent concentrate tightness and substantially low LME inventory. Treatment charges, particularly in China, averaged negative levels during the year, a clear reflection of raw material scarcity. Imported TCs ended the year around $60 per ton, is still well below mid-cycle conditions. Structurally, the zinc market continues to reflect limited near-term mining supply growth relative to smelting capacity. This imbalance has supported prices, even against the backdrop of macro and trade-related volatility. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect a gradual improvement of mining supply, which should support a modest recovery in treatment charges from the historically low levels seen in 2025. However, this recovery is likely to be regionally distinguished.

Speaker #1: This strength was largely driven by our persistent concentric tightness and substantially low LME inventory. Treatment charges, particularly in China, averaged negative levels during the year.

Speaker #1: However, this recovery is likely to be regionally distinguished. In China, smelters are expected to calibrate capacity utilization based on domestic concentrate availability and TCs for imported concentrate.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: In China, smelters are expected to calibrate capacity utilization based on domestic concentrate availability and TCs for imported concentrate. While outside China, high energy costs and sub-historical TCs may continue to constrain margin expansion in the near term. Overall, zinc prices should remain supported at least in the first half of 2026 by tight inventories, resilient demand, and a softer US dollar environment. Against this backdrop, Nexa integrated mine to a smelter platform remains a key differentiator. It allows us to partially mitigate concentrate market volatility and preserve margin resilience across cycles. Turn now to copper. Prices appreciated in 2025 on the back of supply discipline and sustained demand, driven mainly by electrification. While trade policy volatility added uncertainty during the year, the underlying structural fundamentals remain constructive.

Speaker #1: Turn now to copper. Prices appreciated in 2025 on the back of supply discipline and sustained demand-driven momentum by electrification. While trade policy volatility added uncertainty during the year, the underlying structural fundamentals remain constructive.

Speaker #1: Incremental supply additions are unlikely to fully rebalance the market in the near term. This means medium-term supply constraints remain a key theme supporting copper prices.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Incremental supply additions are unlikely to fully rebalance the market in the near term, meaning medium-term supply constraints remain a key theme supporting copper price. Let's turn to slide number 14 for a look at precious metals. Moving now to silver and gold. Silver was one of the best performing metals in Q4 2025. The rally was supported by strong investment flows, monetary policy expectations, and sustained industrial demand, especially from solar energy, electrification, and AI-related infrastructure. Silver's dual role as both a monetary asset and an industrial input continues to support its demand profile. Importantly for Nexa, we produce around 11 million ounces of silver annually, which provides meaningful precious metals exposure within our base metals portfolio. Beginning in Q2 2026, this is a key point, our silver streaming agreement steps down from 65% to 25%.

Speaker #1: Now let's turn to slide number 14 for a look at precious metals. Moving now to silver and gold. Silver was one of the best-performing metals in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Speaker #1: The rally was supported by strong investment flows, monetary policy expectations, and sustained industrial demand, especially from solar energy, electrification, and AI-related infrastructure.

Speaker #1: Silver's dual role as both a monetary asset and an industrial input continues to support its demand profile. Importantly for Nexa, we produce around 11,000,000 oz of silver annually, which provides meaningful precious metals exposure within our base metals portfolio.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Silver's dual role as both a monetary asset and an industrial input continues to support its demand profile. Importantly for Nexa, we produce around 11 million ounces of silver annually, which provides meaningful precious metals exposure within our base metals portfolio. Beginning in Q2 2026, this is a key point, our silver streaming agreement steps down from 65% to 25%.

Speaker #1: And beginning in the second quarter of 2026 . This is a key point . Our silver streaming agreement steps down from 65% to 25% .

Speaker #1: This materially increases our realized exposure to silver prices and enhances EBITDA leverage going forward. It is a relevant structural catalyst for our earnings profile. Turning to gold, prices traded near record levels in the fourth quarter, supported by central bank ETF inflows, a softer US dollar environment, and elevated geopolitical uncertainty, which continues to provide portfolio diversification and countercyclical support. Looking ahead, US monetary policy and geopolitical developments remain key.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: This materially increases our realized exposure to silver prices and enhances EBITDA leverage going forward. It is a relevant structural catalyst for our earnings profile. Turning to gold, prices traded near record levels in Q4, supported by central bank buying, ETF inflows, a softer US dollar environment, and elevated geopolitical uncertainty. Gold continues to provide portfolio diversification and countercyclical support. Looking ahead, US monetary policy and geopolitical developments remain key drivers for precious metals price. Now, on slide 15, I will comment on the developments of our ESG agenda. Let me briefly turn to ESG. In 2025, we continued to advance our ESG strategy as an integral component of our business management. On climate and decarbonization, we consolidated renewable energy supply across our operations and continued implementing operational efficiency initiatives aimed at managing emissions intensity.

Speaker #1: Drivers for precious metals prices. Now on slide 15, I will comment on the development of our ESG agenda. Let me briefly turn to ESG in 2025.

Speaker #4: I do hear me

Pedro Melo: Hi, can you hear me?

Speaker #1: Hi, we can hear you.

Ignacio Rosado: Hi, we can hear you.

Speaker #4: Okay. Thank you. Thanks for taking my questions, and my question relates to the seasonal rainy period and the analysis this quarter.

Pedro Melo: Okay, thank you. Thanks for taking my questions. My question relates to the seasonal rainy period at the Aripuanã assets this quarter. Could you provide some color on the evolution of the asset production throughout this year, given the seasonal context of Q1 and the inauguration of Q4 affecting the second half of the year, please?

Speaker #4: Could you provide some color on the evolution of the ascites production throughout this year, given the seasonal context of the first quarter and the inauguration of the first filter affecting the second half of the year, please?

Speaker #5: Yes , yes , it's a very good question . A In January , we have a to give you an idea and based on some numbers , a the the bottleneck that we have with these three filters , the tailings filters takes the plant around to a 44 , 140 to 145 , thousand tons per month .

Ignacio Rosado: Yes, yes, it's a very good question. In January, we have a. To give you an idea and based on some numbers, the bottleneck that we have with these three filters, the tailings filters, takes the plant at around 140 to 145 thousand tons per month, okay? We have been delivering production at this rate during the last six months. In the last three years, the rainy season, that was very heavy, caused a lot of pressure on the filters, and that's why we needed to slower this throughput, because the filters were not performing at this capacity, okay?

Speaker #5: Okay . We have been delivering production at this rate during the last six months . A in the last three years . The rainy season , that was very heavy caused a lot of pressure on the filters , and that's why we needed to slower this throughput , because the the filters were not performing at this capacity .

Speaker #5: Okay . In the case of January , we had a rate of 140 . Again . And given that we are mining a high grade zone , we produce a a very high zinc equivalent production .

Ignacio Rosado: In the case of January, we had a rate of 140 again, and given that we are mining a high-grade zone, we produce a very high zinc equivalent production. We are in the same rate as the previous six months that were wet season. In February, went also very well. We needed to reduce the throughput a little bit because we wanna make sure that we pass the rainy season in a very smooth way. We maintain the silver equivalent production, and actually, we increase it because also we were accessing zones of higher grades. This is gonna be the case for March, which is important.

Speaker #5: So, we are in the same rate as that previous six months that were wet season. The season in February went also very well.

Ignacio Rosado: In February, went also very well. We needed to reduce the throughput a little bit because we wanna make sure that we pass the rainy season in a very smooth way. We maintain the silver equivalent production, and actually, we increase it because also we were accessing zones of higher grades. This is gonna be the case for March, which is important.

Speaker #5: We needed to reduce the A , the throughput a little bit because we want to make sure that we pass the rainy season in a very smooth way , but we maintain that the that silver equivalent production and actually we increase it because also we were actually a source of higher grades .

Speaker #5: This is going to be the case for March , which is important . So compared to previous years , a this plan shows that with this rainy season that we are facing , this plant is starting to stabilize at this level .

Ignacio Rosado: Compared to previous years, this plant shows that with this rainy season that we are facing, this is starting to stabilize at these levels, okay. In April, we're gonna implement the fourth filter. That is gonna be in ramping up between April, May, and June. With that and the capacity of these filters, we should be able to reach full capacity in the second half of this year. We see that the rainy season is no longer a bottleneck, and we are confident that Aripuanã finally is gonna be at full capacity.

Speaker #5: Okay . In in a April , we're going to implement the four filter that is going to be ramping up between April , May and June .

Ignacio Rosado: That is gonna be in ramping up between April, May, and June. With that and the capacity of these filters, we should be able to reach full capacity in the second half of this year. We see that the rainy season is no longer a bottleneck, and we are confident that Aripuanã finally is gonna be at full capacity.

Speaker #5: And with that, and the capacity of these filters, we should be able to reach full capacity in the second half of this year.

Speaker #5: So we see that the rainy season is no longer a bottleneck. And we are confident that Arizona finally is going to be at full capacity.

Speaker #4: Thank you . So clear

Orest Wowkodaw: Thank you. It's so clear.

Pedro Melo: Thank you. It's so clear.

Speaker #3: The next question came in by phone. Please state your name and company before asking your question.

Operator: The next question came in by phone. Please state your name and company before asking your question.

Speaker #6: Oh, hi. This is Orris Wachira with Scotiabank. Can you hear me?

Orest Wowkodaw: Oh, hi, this is Orest Wowkodaw with Scotiabank. Can you hear me?

Speaker #5: Iris .

Ignacio Rosado: Hi, Orest, we can hear you clearly.

Speaker #1: We can hear you .

Speaker #5: Clearly

Speaker #6: Thank you. My question is around your silver. Obviously, there's been a ton of interest in the market with silver pricing really having moved up.

Orest Wowkodaw: Thank you. My question is around your silver. Obviously, there's been a ton of interest in the market, with silver pricing really having moved up. We've seen some really extraordinary valuations out there for silver streams. I'm just curious, I know you have an existing stream, but I'm curious if you're at all contemplating doing additional silver streaming that could potentially bring you significant cash to just fully delever the balance sheet fairly quickly.

Speaker #6: We've seen some really extraordinary valuations out there for silver streams. I'm just curious—I know you have an existing stream, but I'm curious if you're at all contemplating doing additional silver streaming that could potentially bring you significant cash to just fully the balance sheet fairly quickly.

Speaker #5: Iris , thank you for the thank you for the question . You're right . We are an important producer of silver produce . Around 11,000,000oz .

Ignacio Rosado: Hi, Orest. Thank you for the question. You're right, we are an important producer of silver, produce around 11 million ounces, this is certainly has a strong contribution in our results and in our valuation as well. As you mentioned, we do have a prevailing silver streaming agreement in Cerro Lindo, that actually has a step down in May of this year when we reach a milestone of 19 million ounces. That in itself is going to bring some additional benefit to our annual results. To your specific question, whether we are considering this, I mean, no.

Speaker #5: So this is certainly has a strong contribution in our results . And in our valuation as well As you mentioned , we do have a prevailing silver streaming agreement , a in that actually has a step down in probably in in May of this year when we reach a milestone of 19,000,000oz .

Speaker #5: So that that in itself is going to bring some additional benefit to our , to our annual results , to your specific question , whether we are considering this , I mean , no , you know , we're always looking for the best options to have a strong balance sheet and to maximize the balance of of having a , you know , strong financials , the investment grade rating and the needed cash .

Ignacio Rosado: You know, we're always looking for the best options to have a strong balance sheet and to maximize the balance of having a, you know, strong financials, the investment grade rating and the needed cash. We are confident with the structure that we have today. We view positively the recent trend in prices, not just on silver. We're confident that with that, we will be able to generate a strong cash flow and continue with our commitment of reducing debt in the coming years.

Speaker #5: But we are confident with the structure that we have today . We we view positively the recent trend in in prices , not just of silver .

Speaker #5: So, we're confident that with that, we will be able to generate strong cash flow and continue with our commitment of reducing debt in the coming years.

Speaker #6: Okay. So it's not something that's a high priority right now.

Orest Wowkodaw: Okay. It's not something that's a high priority right now?

Speaker #5: No , it's not

Ignacio Rosado: No, it's not.

Speaker #6: Okay . Thank you

Orest Wowkodaw: Okay. Thank you.

Operator: Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please click on Raise Hand at the bottom of your screen. The next question comes from Camilo Giraldo, from Kallpa.

Speaker #7: Hello , Rodrigo . Good morning . Thanks for taking my question . And my name is Camilo . I'm at Copa Securities Peru and my question is related to the the one before .

Camilo Giraldo: Hello, Rodrigo. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. My name is Camilo Giraldo. I'm Kallpa Securities, Peru. My question is related to the one before. How should we think about the cash flow impact of the Cerro Lindo silver stream in 2026 and 2027, if applicable, considering that deliveries are priced at a fixed percentage of a spot?

Camilo Huaccha: Hello, Rodrigo. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. My name is Camilo Giraldo. I'm Kallpa Securities, Peru. My question is related to the one before. How should we think about the cash flow impact of the Cerro Lindo silver stream in 2026 and 2027, if applicable, considering that deliveries are priced at a fixed percentage of a spot?

Speaker #7: And it is, how should we think about the cash flow impact of the silver? The Cerro Lindo silver stream in 2026 and 2027?

Speaker #7: If applicable, considering that deliveries are priced at a fixed percentage of spot.

Speaker #5: Yes . Hi Camilo , thank you for the question . Yeah , as I mentioned , you know , we've we've had this silver streaming agreement for a while and there's a and there's a step down that is reached when we deliver 19,000,000oz .

Ignacio Rosado: Yes. Hi, Camilo. Thank you for the question. Yeah, as I mentioned, you know, we've had this silver streaming agreement for a while, and there's a step down that is reached when we deliver 19 million ounces. This is going to happen in the next few months. These percentages that are committed to the silver streaming agreement will go down from 65% of the Cerro Lindo silver production to 25% of the Cerro Lindo silver production. There is 40% that in the past had to be delivered to the streamer, and now will stay within Nexa. You can do the math, you know, at the current prices, what the impact of that would be.

Speaker #5: So this is going to happen in the next few months . And , and we and this , this percentages that are committed to the silver streaming agreement will go down from 65% of the silver production to 25% of the silver production .

Ignacio Rosado: These percentages that are committed to the silver streaming agreement will go down from 65% of the Cerro Lindo silver production to 25% of the Cerro Lindo silver production.

Speaker #5: So there's 40% that in the past delivered to the streamer . And now will stay within the Nexa . So you can do the math , you know , at the current prices what the impact of that would be

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you very much.

Camilo Huaccha: Thank you very much.

Speaker #7: Thank you very much

Speaker #3: Now, I would like to turn the call over to Mr. Rodrigo for the writing question. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Thank you . Operator . We have one first question here from the audience . The the question is recently , there's are there has been some news related to strong rains in Peru So can you comment if there has been any incident or any any incident in any of our operations or logistics Yes , yes , there were .

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, operator. We have one first question here from the audience. The question is, recently, there has been some news related to strong rains in Peru. Can you comment if there has been any incident or an incident in any of our operations or logistics?

Ignacio Rosado: Yes. Yes, there were. Peru is facing, again, the El Niño phenomenon, and we're not facing any impact on production on logistics now. We have been working through the years in this. We had some event in Cerro Lindo of summer heavy rain. Nothing happened, and we are managing that, and production hasn't been impacted, and in the case of Pasco as well. We are well prepared today for those events. We don't know what will happen in the future, of course, but so far we haven't been impacted by that.

Speaker #1: . Yeah .

Speaker #2: Peru is facing again a.

Speaker #5: The

Speaker #2: Nino phenomenon and we are not we are not facing any impact on production . And on on logistics . Now , we have been working through the years in this .

Speaker #2: We had some events in a summer of heavy rain and nothing happened. And we are managing that, and production hasn't been impacted.

Speaker #2: And in the case of Pasco as well. So we are well prepared today for those events. We don't know what will happen in the future, but so far we haven't had any by that.

Speaker #1: Thank you . And the first question was from Orlando Barriga from Credit Card Capital So we have a second , second question here is can you provide color on phase two of the Cerro de Pasco integration project ?

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, Ignacio. The first question was from Orlando Barriga, from Credicorp Capital. We have a second question here: Can you provide color on phase two of the Cerro de Pasco Integration Project, and especially in regards to the start-up date and when we expect to have access to high-grade reserves at Atacocha?

Speaker #1: And especially in regards to the start-up date and when we expect to have access to high-grade reserves at Ayacucho.

Speaker #2: Yeah , this is a this is a very good question . And this is a very good problem to have I would say a we we don't have any specific date because we are we are already starting on planning this second phase because we have been drilling heavily in the intersection of the two mines and because of that , we have been finding a lot of resources with very high grade and because of that , we decided to postpone this phase two , having said that , we will still drill a this intersection and in in I would say in 1 or 2 years we will have an inventory of reserves .

Ignacio Rosado: Yeah, this is a very good question. This is a very good problem to have, I would say. We don't have any specific date because we are already starting on planning this second phase. We have been drilling heavily in the intersection of the two mines, and because of that, we have been finding a lot of resources with very high grade. Because of that, we decided to postpone this phase two. Having said that, we will still drill this intersection, and I would say in one or two years, we will have an inventory of reserves that is more important for us. With that, we will build a mine plan. We don't have any specific date to access high grades at Atacocha.

Ignacio Rosado: Because of that, we decided to postpone this phase two. Having said that, we will still drill this intersection, and I would say in one or two years, we will have an inventory of reserves that is more important for us. With that, we will build a mine plan. We don't have any specific date to access high grades at Atacocha.

Speaker #2: That is more important for us.

Speaker #5: And with that, we will build a mine plan. So we don't have a specific date to access a high grade at Aripuanã.

Speaker #5: They are good grades , but probably the intersection have a higher grades . The NSR is higher . So we will know eventually when we will have the mine plan .

Ignacio Rosado: They are good grades, but probably the intersection have higher grades, the NSR is higher. We will know eventually when we will have the mine plan. We will keep the market informed. For the time being, it's a very good problem to have, and specifically, we don't have a date, and we will have some color in the next one or two years.

Speaker #5: So, we will keep the market informed, but for the time being, it's a very good problem to have. And specifically, we don't have a date, and we will have some color in the next one or two years.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Well, thank you, Ignacio. Well, we have another question from the audience. There is ambition of the management to use the instrument, I believe it is the one that Jose Carlos mentioned, to lock in the benefits of currently high silver prices?

Speaker #1: Thank you. We have another question from the audience. Is there...? And there is ambition from the management to use the instrument.

Speaker #1: I believe it's the one that José Carlos mentioned, to lock in the benefits of currency. High silver prices.

Speaker #5: Yes , high . As I mentioned , we're not we're not considering a silver streaming as an option today . It's not a priority .

Ignacio Rosado: Yes. Hi, as I mentioned, we're not considering silver streaming as an option today. It's not a priority. We always listen to proposals. Obviously, there's a lot of interest in silver. It's currently not a priority.

Speaker #5: We always listen to proposals. Obviously, there's a lot of interest in silver. It's currently not a priority.

Speaker #1: Thank you, Jose Carlos. We have another question that comes from Omar Avenida from Compass. Can you provide an update on the Magistral project and Tinka Resources investment?

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, José Carlos. We have another question that comes from Omar Awapara, from Compass Group. Can you provide an update on Magistral project and Tinka Resources investment?

Speaker #1: Yes .

Ignacio Rosado: Well, Magistral, we said before, is a very good project, and we are always assessing what we are gonna do with this project. The environmental impact study was disapproved, and we are now at the stage that we have to sit with the government to see how we perceive this as this important project going forward. For the time being, we don't have any specific action for that, especially only sitting with them and see how can we envision this in the coming years. In the case of Tinka, there was a follow-up.

Speaker #5: A well, Magistral. We, we said before, is a, is a, is a very good project, and we are all assessing what we are going to do with this project.

Speaker #5: The environmental impact study was disapproved, and we are now at a stage where we have to sit with the government to see how we perceive this asset, this important project, going forward.

Ignacio Rosado: For the time being, we don't have any specific action for that, especially only sitting with them and see how can we envision this in the coming years. In the case of Tinka, there was a follow-up.

Speaker #5: So, for the time being, we don't have any specific action for that—only sitting with them and seeing how we can envision this in the coming years?

Speaker #5: In the case of Tinka , there was a follow up , the on equity that we didn't . We decided not to go through because we believe that is a very important asset .

Ignacio Rosado: that we didn't, we decided not to go through, because we believe that is a very important asset, but we have other priorities, so we got diluted. Okay? I guess there is another question around, in that, in also, in all that around the elections.

Speaker #5: But we have other priorities . So we got diluted . Okay I guess there is another question in that in also in all that around the the elections .

Speaker #1: Yeah . Let me read the question again . So and and there's a sequential question from Omar , which is can you comment on current electoral environment in Peru and , and the company .

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Yeah. Let me read the question again. There's a sequential question from Omar, which is: Can you comment on current electoral environment in Peru, and now, and the company thoughts on this matter?

Speaker #1: Thoughts on this matter? Yeah. Well, it's a...

Ignacio Rosado: Yeah. Well, it's a shame that we have another president that is gonna stay for the next 3 months in Peru. The last one lasted only 4 months. There is a lot of political noise around this, and it's very, very difficult to digest, especially for people outside Peru. Having said that, I would say that the economic context of the country is very strong. The economic development of the country, in a sense, does not follow these political problems that we face, okay? Regarding the new president that will come, it's very difficult to say. We have to wait until the first round that is happening in April.

Speaker #5: It's a shame that we have another president that is going to stay for the next three months in Peru. And the last one lasted only four months.

Speaker #5: And there is a lot of a political noise around this . And it's very , very difficult to digest , especially for people outside Peru Having said that , I would say that the the economic context of the of the country is very strong and the , the , the economic development of the country , in a sense , does not follow this a political problems that we face .

Ignacio Rosado: The economic development of the country, in a sense, does not follow these political problems that we face, okay? Regarding the new president that will come, it's very difficult to say. We have to wait until the first round that is happening in April.

Speaker #5: Okay, regarding the new president that will come, it is very difficult to say. We have to wait until the first round that is happening in April.

Speaker #5: But in any case , in all of these years , Peru has been a stable country for an economic point of view , with a stable exchange rate , a growing and the political environment a does not impact most of the economic development of the country in the in the mining sector , specifically We our surroundings , our stakeholders , especially communities , we have very good relations with them .

Ignacio Rosado: In any case, in all of these years, Peru has been a stable country from an economic point of view, with a stable exchange rate, growing. The political environment does not impact most of the economic development of the country. In the mining sector specifically, we, our surroundings, our stakeholders, especially communities, we have very good relationships with them in most cases, and they also don't follow these political problems that we are facing. Actually, the relationship that we have with them and the way we treat that relationship from an economic point of view, is the thing that matters, okay? That's why this new president won't influence in the next three to four months, in the way we, our relationship with communities.

Speaker #5: In most cases and they also don't follow a this political a problems that we are facing . Actually the relationship that we have with them and the way we treat that relationship from an economic point of view is , is , is the thing that matters .

Ignacio Rosado: Actually, the relationship that we have with them and the way we treat that relationship from an economic point of view, is the thing that matters, okay? That's why this new president won't influence in the next three to four months, in the way we, our relationship with communities. We'll see what happens in April, and we can come back to that question later on, okay?

Speaker #5: Okay. So that's why these new presidents won't influence, in the next three to four months, the way we manage our relationship with communities.

Speaker #5: So we'll see what happens in the in in April . And we will we can we can back to that question later on okay

Ignacio Rosado: We'll see what happens in April, and we can come back to that question later on, okay?

Speaker #1: Thank you. And also, we got another question, from Orlando from Credicorp Capital. So, you amortized around $120 million in debt.

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, Ignacio. We got another question. From Orlando, from Credicorp Capital: You amortized around $120 million in debt, gross debt during Q4. How much are you planning on paying down in 2026 and 2027?

Speaker #1: Gross debt during the four Q, how much are you planning on paying down in 2026 and 2027? Thanks for that.

José Carlos del Valle: Thanks for the question, Orlando. Yes, as we have been mentioning in our last calls, debt repayment is a priority. In the absence of any major changes, the idea is that any excess cash that we generate, you know, we will use to pay dividends according to our dividend policy, and the rest will go to pay down debt. That's the plan.

Speaker #5: The question. Orlando. Yes.

Speaker #1: As we have been mentioning in our .

Speaker #5: In our last calls , a debt repayment is a is a priority . So in the absence of any major changes , the idea is that any excess cash that we generate , you know , will will we will use to pay dividends according to our , according to our dividend policy and the rest will go to pay down debt .

Speaker #5: So that's that's the plan Thank you Jose We got another question . So this this is more specific in regards to the to the hedge of silver and gold .

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, José. We got another question. This is more specific in regards to the hedge of silver and gold. Could you provide details on the floor and upper limit of the hedging program for silver and gold?

Speaker #5: So, could you provide details on the floor and upper limit of the hedging program for silver and gold? Yes. Thank you for the question.

José Carlos del Valle: Yes, thank you for the question. That's true. We hedged a small portion of our silver production. Also taking into consideration that we have a silver streaming agreement, so it was a small portion of our silver production, mainly in Peru. The floor is around $52, and the cap is around $84.

Speaker #5: That's true . We did a we did a small portion . We had a small portion of our silver production also taking into consideration that we have the silver streaming agreement .

Speaker #5: So it was a small portion A of our silver production , mainly mainly in Peru . The floor is around $52 . And the cap is around $84 .

Speaker #5: Thank you Jose . We have another question here from the audience comes from Pedro Melo from Citibank So the the the question is more related to the medium term strategy for the company So if the company manages to implement the first filter for Aripuana , execute a turnaround by reducing leverage and gross debt with extension mine life being constant , I mean the replenish of the mine life , such as Cerro de Pasco complex project .

Rodrigo Cammarosano: Thank you, José. We have another question here from the audience, comes from Pedro Melo, from Citi. The question is more related to the medium-term strategy for the company. If the company managed to implement the Q4 for Aripuanã, execute a turnaround by reducing leverage and gross debt, with extension of mine life being constant, I mean, the replenish of the mine life, such as the Cerro Pasco Complex Project. What should be the company's next step for long-term investments?

Speaker #5: So what should be the company's next step for long term investors ? Yeah , very good question . As Jose Carlos mentioned , the idea is that with this a price levels and the stability on operations that we are showing now , especially with Aripuana , we generate a significant cash flow this year and we try to start reducing in a significant way our debt .

Ignacio Rosado: Yeah. Very, very good question. As José Carlos mentioned, the idea is that with these price levels and the stability on operations that we are showing now, especially with Aripuanã, we generate a significant cash flow this year, and we try to start reducing, in a significant way, our debt. No, this debt was accumulated because of the Aripuanã project. Based on that and the other fronts going forward, Aripuanã is stabilizing and growing, Cerro Pasco stabilizing and growing, and Cerro Lindoso being stable and Basan as well, and the smelter recovering part of the profitability with a market that is changing. Nexa, with the current assets, is in a solid position exposed to very good prices and bringing down debt.

Speaker #5: This debt was a accumulated because of the Aripuana project . Based on that and the other fronts going forward , stabilizing and growing , stabilizing and growing and being stable and vasanti as well .

Ignacio Rosado: Based on that and the other fronts going forward, Aripuanã is stabilizing and growing, Cerro Pasco stabilizing and growing, and Cerro Lindoso being stable and Basan as well, and the smelter recovering part of the profitability with a market that is changing. Nexa, with the current assets, is in a solid position exposed to very good prices and bringing down debt.

Speaker #5: And the smelters recovering part of the profitability. With a market that is changing next year, with the current assets, it is in a solid position exposed to very good prices and bringing down debt.

Speaker #5: With that, I would say that the next step is that we are very active, looking for opportunities in the market, especially in copper.

Ignacio Rosado: With that, I would say that the next step is that we are very active looking for opportunities in the market, especially in copper. We have a list of alternatives that we have assessed and are very close to. I would say that if that happens through this year, we will be more active looking for these opportunities, because the balance sheet that we will have is gonna be more flexible to try to achieve those. It's very simple, a solid company exposed to prices and trying to look for the opportunity in copper.

Speaker #5: We have a list of alternatives that we have assessed and are very close to, and I would say that if that happens through this year, we will be more active looking for these opportunities because the balance sheet that we will have is going to be more flexible to try to achieve those.

Speaker #5: So, it's very simple. Solid company, exposed to prices and trying to look for the opportunity in copper. Thank you. Enatsu. So, I will hand it back to the operator.

The CapEx that we spent last year was pretty much in line with the expectation for the year, around $42 million. We believe that the CapEx for this year should be the same amount, because the idea is to complete the phase I this year, and this will pave the way for phase II, just like Ignacio mentioned. Execution's on track, and CapEx so far is on budget.

Speaker #5: The CapEx that we spent last year was pretty much in line with the expectation for the year, around $42 million.

Speaker #5: So we believe that the CapEx for this year should be the same amount because the idea is to complete the the , the , the , the , the phase , the phase one this year and and this will pave the way for , for phase two , just like in mentioned .
