How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

adjusted ebitda financial

"20% of its reported Adjusted EBITDA3 for the relevant three months"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

brazilian depositary receipts financial

"Holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”)"

Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs) are certificates traded on Brazilian exchanges that represent ownership of shares in foreign companies, allowing local investors to buy and sell exposure to those overseas stocks without opening foreign brokerage accounts. They matter because they let investors diversify across global companies using local currency and trading hours, similar to buying a locally issued voucher for a foreign product, while still exposing portfolios to the performance and risks of the underlying foreign shares.

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (Nasdaq: AUGO) (B3: AURA33) (“Aura” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has declared and approved the payment of a dividend (the “Dividend”) of US$0.72 per common share (approximately US$60.4² million in total). This payment exceeds the minimum distribution foreseen under the Company’s Dividend Policy (the “Dividend Policy”). Under the Dividend Policy, the Company may determine quarterly cash dividends in an aggregate amount equal to 20% of its reported Adjusted EBITDA³ for the relevant three months, less sustaining capital expenditures and exploration capital expenditures for the same period. 

The Dividend will be paid in US dollars on November 27, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2026 (“Record Date”).

Holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”) as of Record Date will receive US$ 0.24 per BDR (since 1 Aura share is equivalent to 3 BDRs) and are expected to receive payment on or around December 8, 2026, in Brazilian Reais based on the market exchange rate to be disclosed in a future Press Release in advance of its payment date.

As an example, BDR holders will receive:
• Announced Dividend on November 5, 2026: USD 0.24 per BDR
• Exchange Rate, based on closing rate as of November 4, 2026, for USD to Brazilian Reais (BRL): BRL 5.4772 per USD, Dividends Payable to Company BDR Holders would be BRL 1.314528 per BDR. This value will change according to the exchange rate on the day prior to the payment day
• Record Date for Dividend Rights: November 18, 2026
• Payment Date: On or around December 8, 2026

The Dividend is not subject to withholding taxes at the time of payment by the Company.

Rodrigo Barbosa, President & CEO commented, “Q3 2026 was our strongest quarter ever: record production of 95,557 GEO, up 27% quarter-over-quarter and 29% year-over-year, led by a record quarter at Borborema and strong recoveries at Aranzazu and MSG. Nine-month production of 253,131 GEO is the highest in the Company’s history, keeping us on track for our 2026 guidance of 340k–390k GEO. Adjusted EBITDA reached US$236.9 million in the quarter and US$677.4 million year-to-date, already 24% above full-year 2025. Recurring Free Cash Flow (after payment of gold hedges) of US$123.5 million funded US$71 million in dividends and buybacks and US$55 million in expansion capex, with leverage stable at 0.20x. We are pleased to announce a dividend of ~US$60 million, above our Dividend Policy minimum. Era Dorada construction advanced on time and on budget, Almas is delivering on its expansion, and the MSG turnaround is gaining traction. We are executing our strategy: grow production above 600 koz GEO per year, expand resources and reserves, pursue disciplined M&A, and deliver meaningful returns to shareholders. We expect a strong fourth quarter, supported by higher grades at Almas and Apoena, reinforcing our full-year guidance. And there is much more ahead.”
