(i) During 2025, one (1) share was transferred free of charge from Votorantim S.A. to Nexa Recursos Minerais S.A. As a result of this transaction, Nexa Recursos Minerais S.A. came to hold 100% of the share capital of Mineração Santa Maria Ltda. (ii) Nexa, through its wholly owned subsidiary NEXA BR, holds 100% of the common shares of Pollarix, representing 33% of the total shares outstanding, which carry all voting rights. Auren, a subsidiary of VSA, holds 100% of the preference shares outstanding, representing 67% of the total shares outstanding, which entitles it to receive dividends 93% higher than the amount received by the common shareholder. (iii) In January 2025, the subsidiary Nexa Peru acquired 100% of the equity interest in a new subsidiary, Votorantim CSC S.A.C., a provider of shared administrative, tax, and accounting services, from its majority shareholder Votorantim S.A. The acquisition included a net asset value of USD 949, with a purchase price of USD 924, resulting in a gain of USD 25 recognized in profit or loss. The transaction had a net positive cash effect of USD 997, calculated as the difference between the cash and cash equivalents of the acquired subsidiary and the amount paid at the acquisition date. (iv) For further details about this change refer to note 30 (h).
(a) | Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries include all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when it (i) has the power over the entity; (ii) is exposed, or has the right, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and (iii) has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company, except when the predecessor basis of accounting is applied. Subsidiaries are unconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are usually consistent with the policies adopted by the Company. If there are differences, an adjustment is made in the consolidation process. Non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries’ equity and results are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. A change in a subsidiary’s ownership interest, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and other equity components and any resultant gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value. In general, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances to determine whether it has control over the investee. This may include contractual arrangements with the other holders of voting rights in the investee; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and the Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights that will give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between companies in the consolidated group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction indicates impairment of the transferred asset.
(b) | Associates
Associates are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter by the equity method of accounting. An entity is considered to be an associate when the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity, without having control of the entity.
(c) | Transaction with non-controlling interests
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are recognized within shareholders’ equity as transactions with equity owners of the consolidated group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in Additional paid in capital within shareholders’ equity.
(d) | Foreign currency translation
(i) | Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (“the functional currency”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("USD"), which is NEXA’s functional currency and the Company’s reporting currency.
(ii) | Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by each of the Company’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction is recognized. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the functional currency spot rate at the end of each reporting period are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
(iii) | Consolidated entities
The results of operations and financial position of the Company’s entities that have a functional currency different from the Company’s reporting currency, are translated into the reporting currency as follows:
| · | Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
| · | Income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income presented are translated at average exchange rates for the annual period of that income statement and statement of comprehensive income, which are a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates; and
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is totally or partially disposed, the translation adjustments that were previously recorded in equity are reclassified to the income statement.
