Recent tagged earnings (Q3 2025) showed strong operational results followed by a positive price reaction, suggesting the stock has historically responded favorably to robust financial updates.
Over the last few months, Aura has combined record production growth with major project milestones. The prior earnings release on Nov 4, 2025 highlighted record Q3 74,227 GEO production, Adjusted EBITDA of US$152.1M, and lower AISC, with a 7.16% price rise. Subsequent news covered the Era Dorada Feasibility Study, the MSG acquisition, and a multi-year growth outlook above 600,000 GEO. Today’s Q4/FY 2025 results extend that narrative with higher production, revenues, and EBITDA.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings (like Q3 2025) produced strong records and a 7.16% move on average. Today’s Q4/FY 2025 release similarly emphasizes record production, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, extending that established earnings-driven growth story.
Earnings updates progressed from record Q3 2025 metrics to even higher Q4/FY 2025 production, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA as Borborema ramped and MSG was added.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details record Q4 and FY 2025 performance, including production of 82,067 GEO in Q4, full-year 280,414 GEO, Net Revenue of US$921.7M, and record Adjusted EBITDA of US$547M. It also highlights growth drivers such as Borborema ramp-up, the MSG acquisition, and Era Dorada progress. Investors may focus on how rising cash costs, negative reported net income, and ongoing capex balance against strong margins and expanding project pipelines.

The Company’s consolidated Capex for 2025 totaled US
- Expansion CAPEX: In 2025, the expansion CAPEX exceeded the Guidance Range (+
6% ), largely driven by advances not included in the guidance, such as: (i) the early works of the Almas Underground Development Project, and (ii) the development at Apoena exceeded plan at Nosde Pit, supporting future better production performance. - Sustaining CAPEX: In 2025, the sustaining CAPEX was
2% above the Guidance Range, mainly due to the MSG consolidation in December, which added US$ 3.5 million in sustaining capex which had not been included in the guidance. - Exploration CAPEX: In 2025, exploration CAPEX also exceeded guidance (+
6% ) following the strategy of an expanded drilling program, focused on Carajás, Serrinhas and Matupá, supporting reserve growth and long-term value creation.
2026 Guidance:
The Company’s gold equivalent production, AISC and cash operating cost per gold equivalent ounce sold, and CAPEX guidance for 2026 are detailed below.
Production
The table below details the Company’s updated GEO production Guidance for 2026 by business unit. For such Guidance, the Company considered the following metal prices:
- Gold Price =
$4,287.50 /oz; - Copper price =
$5.18 /lb; - Silver Price =
$58.72 /oz; - Molybdenum Price =
$22.16 /oz.
| Gold equivalent ounces production ('000 GEO) – 2026 | ||
| Low | High | |
| Aranzazu | 68 | 76 |
| Apoena | 37 | 44 |
| Minosa | 63 | 70 |
| Almas | 57 | 63 |
| Borborema | 65 | 77 |
| MSG | 50 | 60 |
| Total | 340 | 390 |
2026 Production Guidance:
- Aranzazu: Aranzazu's production in 2026 is expected to be around
22% below 2025, due to the grades decrease, due to mine sequencing, assuming constant metal prices. However, given the guidance average gold price of$4,287.50 /oz, an increase of24% over the realized gold prices of 2025, and copper price of$4.9 /lb, the total volume in GEO will be impacted by an unfavorable metal-to-GEO conversion factor. - Apoena: Apoena will focus on continuing developing a new phase of the Nosde phase III pit, as previously disclosed as part of its 2-year investment phase, to support production expansion. Compared to 2025, higher grades are expected. Production will improve, with higher production expected in the second semester.
- Minosa: Minosa is expected to maintain reliable performance throughout 2026, similar to 2025. The projected production for 2026 is lower than the previous year, mainly due to expected grade reduction during the period due to mine sequencing.
- Almas: Almas’ production is expected to reach the new installed capacity in 2026, following process optimizations and throughput enhancements implemented in 2025. These changes increased the plant’s ore processing capacity from 2.0 to 2.2 million tonnes per year. However, the full benefits will not be realized in 2026 due to lower ore grades from mine sequencing. In parallel, the Company has started developing the underground project, which—combined with additional expansion capacity this year—should drive further production increases starting in 2027.
- Borborema: With ramp-up finalized in Q4 2025, Borborema is expected to reach between 65k and 77k GEO in 2026. This guidance reflects the expected increase in Mineral Reserves driven by higher gold prices, which in turn reduces average grades compared to the original feasibility study. As a result, the Company has adjusted its mine sequencing and ore segmentation strategy to incorporate these lower-grade ores, prioritizing overall project economics and the long-term value generated by the mine
- MSG: This year's focus is on turnaround, efficiency gains, and revisions to the mine plan and methods. This will demand greater attention to equipment maintenance and underground development. Nonetheless, aligned with our operational enhancement plan emphasizing cost optimization, we guide MSG production to 50,000–60,000 GEO in 2026. Output will ramp up quarterly in the second half, reaching higher annualized rates by year-end, with gradual improvements continuing into early 2027.
All in all, the 2026 production Guidance expects a total of 340-390 kGEO, representing an average increase of up to 85k (midpoint) when compared to 2025 at current prices and up to 89k GEO at constant metal prices.
Cash Costs
The table below shows the Company’s cash operating costs per GEO sold guidance for 2026 by Business Unit:
| Cash Cost per equivalent ounce of gold produced – 2026 | ||
| Low | High | |
| Aranzazu | 1,323 | 1,429 |
| Apoena | 1,128 | 1,209 |
| Minosa | 1,208 | 1,305 |
| Almas | 1,059 | 1,135 |
| Borborema | 1,009 | 1,089 |
| Total ex-MSG | 1,151 | 1,238 |
| MSG | 2,189 | 2,364 |
| Total w/ MSG | 1,303 | 1,411 |
2026 Cash Cost Guidance:
- Aranzazu: At constant metal prices, cash costs are expected to increase due to lower grades due to mine sequencing, and mine deepening, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives (e.g., continuous miner)
- Apoena Cash costs are expected to decline slightly, driven by operational improvements in Mine and Plant and higher grades from the Nosde pit, with further improvements anticipated for 2027.
- Minosa: Cash costs are expected to rise compared to 2025, driven by lower ore grades planned due mine sequencing.
- Almas: An increase in cash cost is expected in 2026, primarily due to mine sequencing that forecasts lower ore grades and a higher strip ratio over the year as we push back the Paiol pit in 2026. Nonetheless, this increase will be partially mitigated by the capacity expansion completed in 2025.
- Borborema: Cash costs are expected to remain low and improve gradually over the year due to debottlenecking the filters' throughput, which will add overall capacity
- MSG: Cash costs are expected to improve as operational efficiency initiatives are implemented, with benefits anticipated towards the end of the year.
All In Sustaining costs
The table below shows the Company’s all-in sustaining costs per GEO sold guidance for 2026 by Business Unit:
| AISC per equivalent ounce of gold produced – 2026 | ||
| Low | High | |
| Aranzazu | 1,726 | 1,865 |
| Apoena | 1,905 | 2,041 |
| Minosa | 1,372 | 1,481 |
| Almas | 1,415 | 1,516 |
| Borborema | 1,177 | 1,271 |
| Total ex-MSG | 1,488 | 1,602 |
| MSG | 3,072 | 3,318 |
| Total w/ MSG | 1,720 | 1,865 |
2026 All-In Sustaining Cost Guidance:
- Aranzazu: At constant metal prices, the increase in AISC is driven by the higher cash costs (lower FX, lower grades and mine deepening), while sustaining capex is expected to remain in line with last year.
- Apoena: AISC is expected to remain broadly in line with 2025, reflecting higher sustaining capex related to mine development, which will support improved performance in 2027.
- Minosa: In addition to higher cash costs, sustaining capex is expected to increase due to the expansion of the leach pads.
- Almas: AISC is expected to increase due to: (i) higher sustaining capex driven by continued mine development, with a higher strip ratio (from 5.0 to 8.3) as the Company advances pit opening; (ii) tailings dam capacity expansion planned for 2026, which is expected to increase the plant capacity to 3 million tons year.
- Borborema: In its first full year of operation, Borborema’s AISC is expected to be the most competitive across Aura operations. This reflects targeted investments in environmental and water management infrastructure, tailings and drainage system upgrades, and the acquisition of new filtration equipment—all aimed at enhancing operational stability and enabling potential future plant debottlenecking.
- MSG: AISC are also expected to improve as operational efficiency initiatives are implemented following the handover, with benefits anticipated to be perceived in the second half of the year.
Capex:
The table below shows the breakdown of estimated capital expenditures by type of investment:
| CAPEX – 2026 | ||
| Low | High | |
| Expansion | 111 | 130 |
| Exploration | 19 | 25 |
| Sustaining | 105 | 123 |
| Total | 236 | 278 |
- Sustaining: Sustaining capex increases year-over-year primarily due to the full-year consolidation of MSG, which has a structurally higher sustaining capex profile (underground mine) and will demand extraordinary non-recurring investments in fleet maintenance. Additional impacts include higher mine development at Almas and a full year of production of Borborema.
- Exploration: Exploration capex is expected to increase due to an expanded exploration program aimed at growing reserves and extending mine life, as well as the incorporation of MSG into the portfolio.
- Expansion: Expansion capex increases primarily due to the Underground Project and plant expansion at Almas, 2nd year of development of Nosde phase 3 at Apoena, early works at Era Dorada and the re-leaching project at Minosa.
Key Factors
The Company’s future profitability, operating cash flows, and financial position will be closely related to the prevailing prices of gold and copper. Key factors influencing the price of gold and copper include, but are not limited to, the supply of and demand for gold and copper, the relative strength of currencies (particularly the United States dollar), and macroeconomic factors such as current and future expectations for inflation and interest rates. Management believes that the short-to-medium-term economic environment is likely to remain relatively supportive of commodity prices but with continued volatility.
To decrease risks associated with commodity prices and currency volatility, the Company will continue to evaluate and implement available protection programs. For additional information on this, please refer to the 20-F.
Other key factors influencing profitability and operating cash flows are production levels (impacted by grades, ore quantities, process recoveries, labor, country stability, plant, and equipment availabilities), production and processing costs (impacted by production levels, prices, and usage of key consumables, labor, inflation, and exchange rates), among other factors.
