Santacruz Silver Mining (SCZ) investor relations material

Executive summary

• Q2 and H1 2026 saw strong operating performance, with consolidated silver production up 17% quarter-over-quarter and 11% year-over-year, and broad-based operational improvements across all assets.

• Revenues reached $113.5 million in Q2 2026, up 55% year-over-year, with gross profit up 102% and Adjusted EBITDA up 74% year-over-year.

• Net income was $2 million, down 90% year-over-year and from $28 million in Q1, mainly due to non-cash and one-time items including non-recurring tax events and a non-cash CVR revaluation.

• Road blockades in Bolivia disrupted concentrate exports for 53 days, increasing inventories but not affecting production; most inventory has since been monetized.
