Santacruz Silver Mining (SCZ) investor relations material

Executive summary

• Q3 2025 saw a transformative period with the final Glencore installment paid off, eliminating a major liability and strengthening the balance sheet.

• Revenues grew 2% year-over-year to $79.99 million, with gross profit up 28% and adjusted EBITDA up 67%.

• Adjusted EBITDA rose 30–67% year-over-year, driven by favorable silver prices, cost optimization, and Bolivian currency depreciation.

• Net income declined 7% year-over-year to $16.34 million, mainly due to higher foreign income taxes and increased costs.

• Production was steady overall, with strong performance at Caballo Blanco, Zimapán, and San Lucas offsetting lower output at Bolívar due to a significant water inflow event.
