(i) This amount represents the change in the fair value of the offtake agreement described in note 16 (e), which is being measured at Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). This change in fair value is a non-cash item and has not been considered in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation. (ii) This amount corresponds to the change in fair value and any adjustment of the energy surplus arising from electric energy purchase contracts of NEXA’s subsidiary, Pollarix and Nexa Energy Comercializadora de Energia Ltda, as disclosed in note 16 (d). This change in fair value is a non-cash item and has been excluded from the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation. (iii) During the years of 2023 and 2025, changes were recognized in the provision related to estimated costs of additional obligations associated with five (5) inactive industrial waste containment structures in Brazil, which have remained non-operational for more than 20 years and do not contain mining tailings, water, or liquid waste, as disclosed in Note 27(a). In 2025, following the completion of an engineering study, the competent environmental authority confirmed the classification of these structures as dry stacks and the absence of any remediation requirement, resulting in the reversal of the related provision. As these structures did not contribute to the Company’s operating performance, the effects of these movements were excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. (iv) Annual remeasurement adjustment of the Company’s silver streaming revenues given the changes in long-term prices and in the mine plan for the Cerro Lindo mining unit. (v) Refers to dividends received from associate company Campos Novos Energia S.A – Enercan, an entity focused on electric energy generation. As the purpose of Nexa’s investment in Enercan is to secure long-term energy supply for its operations in Brazil, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) considers Nexa’s energy costs for a given period together with dividends received from Enercan during such period. Nexa recognized its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for its interest in Enercan until November 2022, when it ceased to be a jointly controlled operation. Beginning in 2024, Nexa includes these dividends in its segment Adjusted EBITDA, as the CODM considers them jointly with Nexa’s energy costs.
