Earnings call transcript: Nexa Resources posts Q2 2026 revenue beat, EPS miss

Nexa Resources reported mixed financial results for Q2 2026, exceeding revenue expectations with $907.9 million but missing EPS estimates at $0.52 per share due to higher costs and a significant one-time tax payment. Despite operational setbacks like a fire at Cajamarquilla, the company saw a 78% increase in adjusted EBITDA year-over-year, reaching $286 million, driven by stronger metal prices and improved mining operations. Management maintained its full-year production guidance, anticipating a stronger second half with bottlenecks resolved and production normalizing.
