Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Royal Gold (RGLD) posted a strong Q2-25. Revenue rose 20% YoY to $209.6 million, driven by higher metal prices and solid royalty/stream volumes; gold averaged $3,280/oz (+40%). Net income attributable to shareholders jumped 63% to $132.3 million ($2.01 EPS) as operating margin expanded to 68% and the effective tax rate plunged to 7.4% (vs 18.9%).

Operating cash flow for the first six months increased 15% to $289.2 million, funding $233 million of new assets (Warintza stream & royalty $100 m paid, Xavantina add-on stream $50 m, Lawyers-Ranch royalty $12.5 m) while ending the quarter with $248.2 million cash and zero debt. Net stream & royalty carrying value climbed to $3.14 billion.

Balance-sheet capacity expanded: the revolver maturity was pushed to 2030 and upsized to $1.4 billion (post-accordion) of which $1 billion remains undrawn at 6/30. Subsequent to quarter-end the company drew $825 million to fund a $1 billion gold stream on First Quantum’s Kansanshi mine and announced agreements to acquire Sandstorm Gold (all-stock, ≈$3.5 b) and Horizon Copper (cash, ≈$196 m), both targeted to close Q4-25.

Key metrics 6M-25 vs 6M-24:

  • Revenue $403.1 m (+25%)
  • Net income $245.8 m (+92%)
  • OCF $289.2 m (+15%)
  • Dividend paid $0.90/sh (+13%)
Royal Gold maintains significant optionality with $575 million liquidity post-Kansanshi, but upcoming acquisition closings and committed CAPEX (Warintza $100 m; Ilovica $163.8 m) will lift leverage.

Royal Gold (RGLD) ha registrato un forte secondo trimestre 2025. I ricavi sono aumentati del 20% su base annua, raggiungendo 209,6 milioni di dollari, grazie all'aumento dei prezzi dei metalli e a volumi solidi di royalty e streaming; l'oro ha avuto un prezzo medio di 3.280 $/oz (+40%). L'utile netto attribuibile agli azionisti è salito del 63%, attestandosi a 132,3 milioni di dollari (EPS di 2,01 $), con un margine operativo ampliato al 68% e un'aliquota fiscale effettiva scesa al 7,4% (rispetto al 18,9%).

I flussi di cassa operativi nei primi sei mesi sono aumentati del 15%, raggiungendo 289,2 milioni di dollari, finanziando nuovi asset per 233 milioni (compresi 100 milioni per il flusso e la royalty di Warintza, 50 milioni per l'add-on stream di Xavantina, 12,5 milioni per la royalty Lawyers-Ranch), e chiudendo il trimestre con 248,2 milioni di dollari in contanti e zero debiti. Il valore netto dei flussi e delle royalty è salito a 3,14 miliardi di dollari.

Capacità di bilancio ampliata: la scadenza della linea di credito revolving è stata estesa al 2030 e aumentata a 1,4 miliardi di dollari (post-accordion), di cui 1 miliardo non utilizzato al 30 giugno. Dopo la fine del trimestre, la società ha utilizzato 825 milioni per finanziare un flusso d’oro da 1 miliardo di dollari sulla miniera Kansanshi di First Quantum e ha annunciato accordi per acquisire Sandstorm Gold (operazione interamente azionaria, circa 3,5 miliardi di dollari) e Horizon Copper (acquisto in contanti, circa 196 milioni di dollari), entrambi previsti per il quarto trimestre 2025.

Principali dati 6M-25 vs 6M-24:

  • Ricavi 403,1 milioni di dollari (+25%)
  • Utile netto 245,8 milioni di dollari (+92%)
  • Flusso di cassa operativo 289,2 milioni di dollari (+15%)
  • Dividendo pagato 0,90 $/azione (+13%)
Royal Gold mantiene un’importante liquidità residua di 575 milioni di dollari dopo l’operazione Kansanshi, ma le prossime acquisizioni e i CAPEX impegnati (Warintza 100 milioni; Ilovica 163,8 milioni) aumenteranno la leva finanziaria.

Royal Gold (RGLD) presentó un sólido segundo trimestre de 2025. Los ingresos crecieron un 20% interanual hasta 209,6 millones de dólares, impulsados por precios más altos de los metales y volúmenes sólidos de regalías y flujos; el oro promedió 3.280 $/oz (+40%). La utilidad neta atribuible a los accionistas aumentó un 63% hasta 132,3 millones de dólares (EPS de 2,01 $), con un margen operativo que se expandió al 68% y una tasa impositiva efectiva que cayó al 7,4% (frente al 18,9%).

El flujo de caja operativo en los primeros seis meses aumentó un 15% hasta 289,2 millones de dólares, financiando 233 millones en nuevos activos (flujo y regalía de Warintza por 100 millones pagados, flujo adicional de Xavantina por 50 millones, regalía Lawyers-Ranch por 12,5 millones), y cerrando el trimestre con 248,2 millones en efectivo y cero deuda. El valor neto de los flujos y regalías subió a 3,14 mil millones de dólares.

Capacidad del balance ampliada: la madurez de la línea revolvente se extendió hasta 2030 y se aumentó a 1,4 mil millones de dólares (post-acordeón), de los cuales 1 mil millones permanecen sin usar al 30/6. Posterior al cierre del trimestre, la compañía tomó prestados 825 millones para financiar un flujo de oro de 1 mil millones en la mina Kansanshi de First Quantum y anunció acuerdos para adquirir Sandstorm Gold (todo en acciones, ≈3,5 mil millones) y Horizon Copper (en efectivo, ≈196 millones), ambos previstos para cerrar en el cuarto trimestre de 2025.

Métricas clave 6M-25 vs 6M-24:

  • Utilidad neta 245,8 millones (+92%)
  • Flujo de caja operativo 289,2 millones (+15%)
  • Dividendo pagado 0,90 $/acción (+13%)
Royal Gold mantiene una liquidez significativa de 575 millones tras Kansanshi, pero los cierres de adquisiciones próximos y CAPEX comprometidos (Warintza 100 millones; Ilovica 163,8 millones) aumentarán el apalancamiento.

Royal Gold(RGLD)는 2025년 2분기에 강력한 실적을 기록했습니다. 매출은 금속 가격 상승과 견고한 로열티/스트림 물량에 힘입어 전년 대비 20% 증가한 2억 960만 달러를 기록했으며, 금 평균 가격은 온스당 3,280달러로 40% 상승했습니다. 주주 귀속 순이익은 63% 증가한 1억 3,230만 달러(주당순이익 2.01달러)를 기록했으며, 영업이익률은 68%로 확대되고 유효 세율은 7.4%(이전 18.9%)로 급락했습니다.

상반기 영업 현금 흐름은 15% 증가한 2억 8,920만 달러로, 신규 자산에 2억 3,300만 달러를 투자했습니다(워린차 스트림 및 로열티 1억 달러 지급, 자반티나 추가 스트림 5,000만 달러, 로이어스랜치 로열티 1,250만 달러). 분기 말 현금은 2억 4,820만 달러, 부채는 제로였습니다. 순 스트림 및 로열티 장부 가치는 31억 4,000만 달러로 증가했습니다.

재무 여력 확대: 리볼빙 대출 만기는 2030년으로 연장되고, 총 한도는 14억 달러(확대 후)로 증액되었으며, 6월 30일 기준 10억 달러는 미사용 상태입니다. 분기 종료 후 회사는 퍼스트 쿼텀의 칸산시 광산에 대한 10억 달러 규모 금 스트림 자금 조달을 위해 8억 2,500만 달러를 차입했으며, 샌드스톰 골드(전량 주식 교환, 약 35억 달러)와 호라이즌 코퍼(현금 거래, 약 1억 9,600만 달러) 인수 계약을 발표했으며, 두 건 모두 2025년 4분기 완료를 목표로 하고 있습니다.

주요 지표 2025년 상반기 대비 2024년 상반기:

  • 매출 4억 310만 달러 (+25%)

  • 영업 현금 흐름 2억 8,920만 달러 (+15%)
  • 배당금 주당 0.90달러 (+13%)
Royal Gold는 칸산시 인수 후에도 5억 7,500만 달러의 유동성을 유지하고 있으나, 예정된 인수 완료와 확정된 CAPEX(워린차 1억 달러, 일로비카 1억 6,380만 달러)로 인해 레버리지가 상승할 전망입니다.

Royal Gold (RGLD) a publié un solide deuxième trimestre 2025. Le chiffre d'affaires a augmenté de 20 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 209,6 millions de dollars, porté par la hausse des prix des métaux et des volumes solides de redevances/flux ; l'or a affiché un prix moyen de 3 280 $/oz (+40 %). Le bénéfice net attribuable aux actionnaires a bondi de 63 % à 132,3 millions de dollars (BPA de 2,01 $), la marge opérationnelle s'étant étendue à 68 % et le taux d'imposition effectif ayant chuté à 7,4 % (contre 18,9 %).

Le flux de trésorerie opérationnel pour les six premiers mois a augmenté de 15 % à 289,2 millions de dollars, finançant 233 millions de nouveaux actifs (flux et redevance Warintza 100 M$ payés, flux additionnel Xavantina 50 M$, redevance Lawyers-Ranch 12,5 M$), tout en terminant le trimestre avec 248,2 millions de dollars en liquidités et zéro dette. La valeur nette comptable des flux et redevances a grimpé à 3,14 milliards de dollars.

Capacité bilancielle étendue : la maturité de la ligne de crédit renouvelable a été repoussée à 2030 et portée à 1,4 milliard de dollars (post-accordéon), dont 1 milliard reste non tiré au 30/06. Après la clôture du trimestre, la société a tiré 825 millions pour financer un flux d’or d’1 milliard sur la mine Kansanshi de First Quantum et a annoncé des accords pour acquérir Sandstorm Gold (tout en actions, ≈3,5 milliards) et Horizon Copper (en numéraire, ≈196 millions), tous deux prévus pour clôturer au T4-25.

  • Chiffre d'affaires 403,1 M$ (+25 %)
  • Bénéfice net 245,8 M$ (+92 %)
  • Flux de trésorerie opérationnel 289,2 M$ (+15 %)
  • Dividende versé 0,90 $/action (+13 %)
Royal Gold conserve une liquidité importante de 575 millions après Kansanshi, mais les clôtures d’acquisitions à venir et les CAPEX engagés (Warintza 100 M$ ; Ilovica 163,8 M$) augmenteront l’endettement.

Royal Gold (RGLD) verzeichnete ein starkes zweites Quartal 2025. Der Umsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 20 % auf 209,6 Millionen US-Dollar, getrieben von höheren Metallpreisen und soliden Royalty-/Streaming-Volumina; der Goldpreis lag im Durchschnitt bei 3.280 $/oz (+40 %). Der den Aktionären zurechenbare Nettogewinn sprang um 63 % auf 132,3 Millionen US-Dollar (2,01 $ Gewinn je Aktie), da die operative Marge auf 68 % anstieg und der effektive Steuersatz auf 7,4 % sank (vorher 18,9 %).

Der operative Cashflow für die ersten sechs Monate stieg um 15 % auf 289,2 Millionen US-Dollar und finanzierte neue Vermögenswerte in Höhe von 233 Millionen (Warintza-Stream & Royalty 100 Mio. bezahlt, Xavantina-Zusatzstream 50 Mio., Lawyers-Ranch-Royalty 12,5 Mio.) bei einem Quartalsende mit 248,2 Millionen US-Dollar in bar und keiner Verschuldung. Der Nettobuchwert der Streams und Royalties stieg auf 3,14 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Bilanzkapazität erweitert: Die Laufzeit des revolvierenden Kredits wurde bis 2030 verlängert und auf 1,4 Milliarden US-Dollar (nach Akkordeon) erhöht, von denen zum 30.6. noch 1 Milliarde ungenutzt war. Nach Quartalsende zog das Unternehmen 825 Millionen US-Dollar ab, um einen 1-Milliarde-Dollar-Goldstream auf der Kansanshi-Mine von First Quantum zu finanzieren, und kündigte Vereinbarungen zum Erwerb von Sandstorm Gold (vollständige Aktientransaktion, ca. 3,5 Mrd.) und Horizon Copper (Barzahlung, ca. 196 Mio.) an, beide sollen im vierten Quartal 2025 abgeschlossen werden.

Wichtige Kennzahlen 6M-25 vs. 6M-24:

  • Umsatz 403,1 Mio. $ (+25 %)
  • Nettogewinn 245,8 Mio. $ (+92 %)
  • Operativer Cashflow 289,2 Mio. $ (+15 %)
  • Dividende gezahlt 0,90 $/Aktie (+13 %)
Royal Gold behält nach Kansanshi eine signifikante Liquidität von 575 Millionen US-Dollar, aber bevorstehende Akquisitionsabschlüsse und zugesagte CAPEX (Warintza 100 Mio.; Ilovica 163,8 Mio.) werden die Verschuldung erhöhen.

Positive
  • Revenue up 20% YoY to $209.6 m on stronger metal prices.
  • EPS up 63% to $2.01; effective tax rate fell to 7.4%.
  • OCF $289 m exceeded investments and dividends; cash balance $248 m.
  • No debt at quarter-end; revolver extended to 2030 and upsized to $1.4 b.
  • Strategic growth: Warintza, Xavantina, Lawyers-Ranch acquisitions plus $1 b Kansanshi stream.
  • Dividend increased to $0.45 per share (+13% YoY).
Negative
  • Mount Milligan gold/copper deliveries fell YoY; operator cut 2025 gold guidance.
  • Deferred silver at Pueblo Viejo rose to 2.1 Moz, delaying cash receipts.
  • Leverage will rise after $825 m revolver draw and pending cash commitments.
  • Large M&A (Sandstorm, Horizon) introduces integration and shareholder approval risk.
  • Potential impact from new U.S. tax law (OBBBA) still under evaluation.

Insights

TL;DR: Earnings beat, cash strong, growth pipeline secured; leverage manageable but rising.

The 20% revenue jump combined with a lower tax burden produced a 63% EPS surge, easily covering the rising dividend. OCF comfortably financed $233 million of asset additions while cash grew 27%. Extending and upsizing the revolver ahead of the $1 billion Kansanshi deal shows proactive liquidity management; pro-forma net debt/EBITDA is ~2×, still within amended covenants (≤4× post-M&A). Pending Sandstorm/Horizon takeouts add scale and diversify the portfolio, but share issuance and integration risk remain. Overall, fundamentals and growth outlook are favorable.

TL;DR: Execution, commodity and integration risks could pressure new leverage.

Post-quarter draw leaves $575 million undrawn; however, committed outflows (Warintza, Ilovica, potential Sandstorm cash alternatives) could tighten liquidity if gold prices retrace. Effective tax benefits were largely discrete and non-recurring. Mount Milligan grades and Pueblo Viejo silver deferments highlight asset-level variability. The enlarged revolver matures 2030 but remains floating-rate; higher interest expense is likely. Management must integrate sizable acquisitions while monitoring covenant headroom.

3.2Q25 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

In the second quarter of 2025, the global demand scenario was impacted by trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as tariff uncertainties. These conditions impacted global trade flows and affected price references in the international market, resulting in a reduction compared to the first quarter of 2025 of (i) 10 and 12% in international PE reference prices, which are used as a reference in the Brazil and Mexico segments, respectively; and (ii) 4%, 6% and 7% in international references for PP, PVC and Main Chemicals, respectively, which are used as references in the Brazil/South America segment.

Additionally, the costs of goods sold were pressured by feedstock previously acquired at higher prices, generating a mismatch between cost and sales price and impacting the profitability of the segments in the quarter.

In the Brazil/South America segment, the utilization rate of petrochemical plants remained stable, with emphasis on the gas-based plant in Rio de Janeiro, which operated at 95%. Demand for resins in the Brazilian market grew 7% and the Company's resin sales increased 3% in the Brazilian market and 19% in exports. The Recurrent EBITDA of the Brazil/South America segment in the quarter was US$152 million considering the impact of the inventory effect in the period.

Regarding the Industry’s outlook, the Brazilian chemical industry presented a level of idleness of 38% during the first half of 2025, being the lowest level in the last 30 years, according to preliminary data from the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (ABIQUIM). In this context, it is important to highlight that the competitive parity measures under discussion in Brazil, including the Special Chemical Industry Sustainability Program (“PRESIQ”), are fundamental for strengthening the competitiveness of the Brazilian industry, increasing its utilization rate, while generating jobs and creating a revenue stream for the government through taxes.

The performance of the United States and Europe segment in 2Q25, despite the higher petrochemical spreads in Europe and the higher sales volume in the quarter, was impacted by higher costs of feedstock acquired in previous periods, recording a negative Recurring EBITDA of US$8 million.

In Mexico, Braskem Idesa's first general maintenance stoppage started in 2Q25 and the lower supply of ethane by Pemex impacted production and sales volumes as well as the production cost considering the volumes of imported ethane. Additionally, the PE spread in Mexico was 12% lower when compared to the previous quarter, recording negative Recurring EBITDA of US$ 9 million.

In this scenario, the Company's consolidated Recurrent EBITDA was US$74 million (R$427 million), lower than 1Q25 and 2Q24. Despite the increased working capital management that occurred in 2Q25 when compared to the previous quarter, the Company presented a cash consumption of R$1,448 million (US$256 million).

Corporate gross debt ended the quarter at approximately US$8.5 billion, with an average term of 9 years and 68% of maturities starting in 2030. At the end of 2Q25, the cash position, excluding Braskem Idesa, was US$1.7 billion, without considering the US$1 billion revolving credit line available until December 2026.

5.PERFORMANCE BY SEGMENT
5.1BRAZIL/SOUTH AMERICA

In 2Q25, the average spread of resins on the international market in dollars was higher (+1%) when compared to 1Q25, mainly influenced by the lower price of naphtha ARA given the lower (-10%) price of oil on the international market in the quarter. In reais, spreads were lower due to the 3% appreciation of the exchange rate.

The sales volume of resins in the Brazilian market increased by 3% compared to 1Q25, and the sales volume of main chemicals remained in line compared to the previous quarter.

The average costs of goods sold in the quarter were impacted by feedstock acquired in previous periods, when prices were higher. This mismatch between the cost of feedstock and sales price negatively impacted the segment's profitability in the quarter.

 

5.1.1OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

a) Demand for resins in Brazil (PE, PP, and PVC): increased (+7%) compared to 1Q25, mainly explained by (i) the 8% higher demand for PE, with emphasis on the hygiene, cleaning, logistics and transport sectors; (ii) the 7% higher demand for PP, driven by the automotive and packaging sectors; (iii) the anticipation of purchases of PE and PP in the transformation chain, due to lower prices on the international market during the period and the expectation of price increases on the international market in the coming months; and (iv) the 6% higher demand for PVC, driven by the pipes, automotive and pharmaceutical sectors.

In relation to 2Q24, demand was lower (-2%), mainly explained by (i) lower PE demand by 4%, due to lower consumption in the cleaning sector; and (ii) lower demand for PP by 3%, due to lower consumption in the household appliances and food sectors. This effect was partially offset by the 8% higher demand for PVC, due to the build-up of inventory and purchases made in advance.

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

 

b) Average utilization rate of petrochemical complexes: remained in line in relation to 1Q25, mainly impacted by the higher production of the Rio de Janeiro petrochemical complex due to the build-up of inventories in anticipation of the scheduled shutdown of this complex scheduled to occur in 3Q25. This effect was offset by (i) the continuous adjustment of production levels to lower demand in the period; and (ii) the lower supply of feedstock for the São Paulo petrochemical complex.

In relation to 2Q24, the increase in the utilization rate (+3 p.p.) is mainly explained by the normalization of operations at the Triunfo petrochemical complex, in Rio Grande do Sul, which were interrupted during 2Q24 due to the extreme weather event that affected the state in the period.

c) Resin sales volume: in the Brazilian market, the increase (+3%) in relation to 1Q25 is mainly explained by the anticipation of purchases in the transformation chain due to (i) lower prices in the international market during 2Q25, impacted by tariff uncertainties; and (ii) the expectation of an increase in international price references throughout the second half of 2025.

In relation to 2Q24, sales volume remained in line (+1%), highlighting the increase in PVC and PE sales volume by 6% and 2%, respectively, partially offset by the reduction in PP sales volume by 3%.

Exports were higher compared to 1Q25 (+19%), mainly explained by the increased volume of PE and PP exports, with emphasis on South America due to the higher availability of products for export.

   
  10 

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

In relation to 2Q24, the increase (+30%) is mainly explained by the higher availability of product for export given the lower demand for PE and PP in the Brazilian market.

d) Sales volume of main chemicals1: in the Brazilian market, it remained in line compared to 1Q25, mainly explained by the higher sales volume of benzene and propylene due to the increase in demand in the Brazilian market. This effect was partially offset by the lower sales volume of (i) paraxylene due to the scheduled shutdown that occurred in 2Q25 at the production unit for this product; and (ii) ethylene due to the reduction in demand in the Brazilian market during the period.

In relation to 2Q24, sales volume remained in line (+1%) with emphasis on the increase of the sales volume of gasoline, toluene and benzene, due to the higher availability of product for sale due to the normalization of operations in Rio Grande do Sul, partially offset by the lower sales volume of paraxylene considering the scheduled shutdown that occurred in 2Q25 at this unit.

Exports were lower compared to 1Q25 (-39%), mainly explained by the lower volume of exports of butadiene, benzene, paraxylene and toluene due to the lower availability of the product for export.

The reduction (-56%) compared to 2Q24 is mainly explained by the lower volume of exports of gasoline, benzene and toluene.

 


1 Main chemicals refer to: ethylene, propylene, butadiene, cumene, gasoline, benzene, toluene and paraxylene, given these products’ share of net revenue in the segment.

UPDATES ABOUT ALAGOAS

The provision for the geological event in Alagoas, based on its assessment and that of its external advisors, considering the short and long-term effects, and the best estimate of expenses for implementing the various measures, showed the following movement at the end of the second quarter of 2025:

Balance of the Alagoas geological event's provision (R$ million) 2Q25 1Q25     2Q25 YTD   2024
Balance at the beginning of the period 5,080 5,570     5,570   5,240
Provision Additions2 (93) (47)     (139)   2,237
Payments and Reclassifications3 (404) (468)     (872)   (2,052)
Realization of present value adjusment 86 25     111   145
Balance at the end of the period 4,670 5,080     4,670   5,570

 

The provision balance at the end of the period was R$4.7 billion, lower (-8%) compared to the balance at the end of 1Q25. The reversal of the provision of approximately R$93 million was recorded after updating the adjustment to present value, resulting from the review of the estimated disbursements over time.

By the end of June 2025, the main advances on the action fronts in Maceió were:

(i)Financial Compensation and Relocation Support Program (PCF): 99.9% (19,190) of proposals submitted, with around 99.4% of proposals paid.
(ii)Closing and Monitoring of salt cavities: the closure plan for the 35 cavities considers 18 cavities with the provision of priority filling with solid material, with 6 cavities already having their filling completed, 2 cavities have reached the technical filling limit, 5 cavities have the filling process in progress and for the remaining 5 cavities, activities are in the preparation and planning phase. Additionally, 6 cavities were filled naturally, with confirmation approved by ANM (National Mining Agency). Another 11 cavities remain within the salt layer and pressurized, since the Company is considering filling them with solid material, in the long term and after the completion of the current filling plan, with the aim of achieving a maintenance-free state for the 35 cavities, suitable for the definitive closure of the field.
(iii)Socio-urban measures: 11 projects were defined for urban mobility, 6 of which were completed, 3 in progress and 2 in the planning phase.

For more information on advances made on the action fronts in Alagoas during the quarter, see appendix 8.3 of this document.

 


2 The reversal of the provision in 2Q25 mainly refers to the update of the adjustment to present value due to the remeasurement of the estimated disbursements over the periods. In 2024, the supplement to the provision is mainly explained by (i) the review of cost estimates relating to updates to the mining front closure plan; (ii) for the implementation and advancement in the maturity of projects, initiatives and programs present on the action fronts in Alagoas; and (iii) the monetary update totaling R$15 million reported under the financial expense line.

3 Of the amount at the end of 2Q25 of R$872 million: (i) R$684 million refers to payments made; and (ii) R$188 million was reclassified to the Other obligations group, which totals a balance of R$439 million relating to accounts payable from the geological event in Alagoas.

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 
5.1.2FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

A) Net Revenue: lower, in dollars (-1%) and in reais (-4%), compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the reduction of (i) 7% in the international reference for the average price of resins and Main Chemicals on the market; and (ii) 25 thousand tons, or 39%, in the export volume of Main Chemicals.

In 2Q25, net revenue was positively impacted by approximately R$59 million by presumed PIS/COFINS credits relating to REIQ Investimentos.

Compared to 2Q24, it was lower in dollars (-6%), mainly explained by the reduction of (i) 18% in the international price reference for Main Chemicals; (ii) 10% on the international average resin price reference; and (iii) 49 thousand tons, or 56%, in the export volume of Main Chemicals. In reais, the increase (+2%) compared to 2Q24 is explained by the depreciation of the average real against the average dollar of 9% in the period.

B) Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): in line, in dollars (+1%), mainly explained by the increase in the volume of resin sales in the Brazilian and export markets, partially offset by the reduction in the export volume of Main Chemicals. In reais, the reduction (-2%) is also explained by the appreciation of the average real against the average dollar for the period of 3%. Additionally, COGS in 2Q25 was negatively impacted by the inventory effect due to feedstock that were acquired in previous periods, when prices were higher compared to 2Q25.

In relation to 2Q24, the reduction in dollars (-4%) is mainly explained by (i) a reduction of 8 thousand tons, or 3%, in the volume of PP sales in the Brazilian market; (ii) reduction of 49 thousand tons, or 56%, in the sales volume of Main Chemicals in the international market; and (iii) the 18% reduction in international references for naphtha and Main Chemicals, respectively, in addition to the 10% and 33% reduction in the average international references for resins and EDC. In reais, the increase (+4%) when compared to 2Q24 is explained by the depreciation of the average real against the average dollar of 9% in the period.

   
  14 

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

In 2Q25, COGS was positively impacted by PIS/COFINS credits on the purchase of feedstock (REIQ) of US$13 million (R$72 million) and by Reintegra credits of US$0.4 million (R$2.3 million).

 

 

C) SG&A Expenses: due to changes in the organizational structure, the Company reclassified part of the expenses that were previously classified under "Corporate Unit", for the segments. Therefore, for the Brazil/South America Segment, there was an increase in expenses of around US$3 million (R$17 million) under the line General and Administrative Expenses.

Additionally, expenses with project studies to expand production capacity, including the Transforma Rio project, recovered through REIQ Investimentos, totaled a net amount of approximately US$4.4 million (R$25 million) in 2Q25.

Excluding these effects, the increase in SG&A in relation to 1Q25, in the amount of approximately US$2 million, is mainly explained by higher logistics expenses. In reais, the reduction (R$-8 million) is explained by the appreciation of the average real against the average dollar for the period of 3%.

Compared to 2Q24, the increase in the amount of approximately US$11 million is mainly explained by the reversal of the provision for losses on accounts receivable that occurred in 2Q24.

D) Other Revenue (Expense), Net: revenue of US$73 million (R$409 million) mainly due to (i) the effect of recognizing PIS/COFINS credit in the amount of around R$290 million in 2Q25; (ii) adjustment of the present value calculation of the provision relating to the geological event in Alagoas; and (iii) revenue from the sale of electricity on the free market in the quarter. Of this amount, the impact recognized on Recurring EBITDA was approximately US$5 million (R$28 million) in the quarter.

E) Recurring EBITDA: was US$152 million (R$865 million), lower in dollars and reais when compared to 1Q25 and 2Q24, respectively.

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

 

5.1.3.1OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

a) Green ethylene utilization rate: lower compared to 1Q25 (-16 p.p.) mainly due to the optimization of inventories carried out in the quarter to adapt to current demand.

In relation to 2Q24, the increase (+36 p.p.) is explained by the normalization of operations at the Triunfo Petrochemical Complex, in Rio Grande do Sul, which were interrupted during 2Q24 due to the external weather event that affected the state.

[4]

 

b) Sales volume of Green PE (I'm greenTM bio-based): higher compared to 1Q25 (+24%) mainly due to increased demand from new and existing customers.

The increase compared to 2Q24 (+10%) is mainly explained by the higher availability of the product for sale, after the normalization of operations at the Rio Grande do Sul petrochemical complex, which had been interrupted due to the weather event that occurred in 2Q24.

 

 


4 Due to the review of green ethylene production capacity, starting in 2Q25, the calculation of the utilization rate considers the production capacity of 275 thousand tons per year.

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

 

5.1.3.2FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

A) Net Sales Revenue of Green PE and ETBE5: increase compared to 1Q25 (+18%) mainly explained by (i) higher sales volume of Green PE and ETBE, as explained previously.

The increase compared to 2Q24 (+6%) is mainly explained by (i) higher sales volume of PE Verde and ETBE; and (ii) higher Green PE price.

 

 

5.2UNITED STATES AND EUROPE

The average spread of PP Europe was higher than in 1Q25, mainly due to the increase in the price of PP in the region, explained by the reduction in supply. In the United States, the PP spread remained in line compared to the previous quarter.

PP sales volume was higher compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to increased seasonal demand in the United States and optimization of inventory levels in Europe.

The average costs of goods sold in the quarter were impacted by the price of feedstock acquired in previous periods when they were higher compared to 2Q25. This mismatch between the cost of feedstock and sales price impacted the segment's profitability in the quarter.

In the second quarter of 2025, due to changes in the organizational structure, the Company reclassified part of the expenses that were previously classified within "Corporate Unit", to segments. Therefore, for the United States and Europe Segment, there was an impact of around US$8 million (R$43 million) in 2Q25 under the line General and Administrative Expenses.

5.2.1OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

a) PP demand: PP demand in North America was higher (+6%) when compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the seasonal demand.

In Europe, PP demand remained in line compared to 1Q25.

Compared to 2Q24, demand in North America was lower (-2%) mainly explained by tariff uncertainties during the period. In Europe, demand was lower (-1%) compared to 2Q24, mainly due to (i) uncertainties regarding the external scenario with geopolitical tensions between the United States and China; and (ii) lower due to increased destocking throughout the supply chain during the period.

b) Average utilization rate of PP plants: remained in line compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the increase in production in the United States in anticipation of the seasonal increase in demand, partially offset by lower production in Europe, mainly due to the lower availability of feedstock caused by operational adjustments from suppliers.

Compared to 2Q24, the utilization rate was lower (-4 p.p.) mainly due to the lower supply of propylene in Europe in 2Q25.

c) PP sales volume: higher compared to 1Q25 (+2%) mainly due to higher seasonal demand in the United States, as previously mentioned.

Compared to 2Q24, sales volume remained in line (+1%).

5.2.2FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

A) Net Revenue: lower in dollars (-10%) and in reais (-12%) when compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the 11% reduction in the international price reference for PP in the United States, partially offset by the increase in sales volume of 8 thousand tons, or 2% of sales volume.

In relation to 2Q24, the reduction in dollars (-24%) and in reais (-17%) is mainly explained by the 14% and 6% reduction in international PP price references in the United States and Europe, respectively.

B) Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): lower in dollars (-7%) and in reais (-10%) compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the 16% reduction in the international propylene price reference in the United States in the quarter. This effect was partially offset by the inventory effect in the quarter due to the impact on the average cost of goods sold related to feedstock acquired in previous periods, when prices were higher compared to 2Q25.

 


6 Due to the review of polypropylene production capacity, starting 1Q25, the calculation of the utilization rate considers the production capacity of 2,021 thousand tons per year

   
  19 

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

Compared to 2Q24, it was lower in dollars (-20%) and in reais (-13%), mainly explained by the 14% and 6% reduction in international propylene price references in the United States and Europe, respectively.

 

C) SG&A Expenses: In the second quarter of 2025, due to changes in the organizational structure, the Company reclassified part of the expenses that were previously classified within "Corporate Unit", to segments. The United States and Europe Segment was impacted by around US$8 million (R$43 million) in 2Q25.

Excluding this effect, the increase in SG&A of approximately US$2 million is mainly explained by higher expenses with third parties. In reais, the increase of approximately R$5 million is also explained by the appreciation of the average real against the average dollar for the period of 3%.

The increase compared to 2Q24, of approximately US$14 million, is mainly explained by lower logistics expenses in 2Q24. In reais, the increase of approximately (R$97 million) is explained by the depreciation of the average real against the average dollar of 9% in the period.

D) Other Revenue (Expenses), Net: revenue from the subleasing of vessels in Europe.

E) Recurring EBITDA: it was negative by US$8 million (R$48 million), lower compared to 1Q25 and 2Q24.

 

5.3MEXICO

The North America PE spread was lower compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the lower US PE price, impacted by the lower oil and naphtha prices in addition to global tariff uncertainties. This effect was partially offset by the lower price of ethane in the United States, mainly explained by the reduction in exports, especially in June, given the impact of new licensing requirements imposed by the United States on Chinese vessels

PE sales volume was lower, due to the lower availability of product for sale given the beginning of the general maintenance shutdown at the Braskem Idesa Petrochemical Center and the lower supply of ethane from PEMEX, impacting the inventory build-up process prior to the general maintenance shutdown.

Average costs of goods sold in the quarter were impacted by (i) recognition of idleness expenses in the amount of approximately US$9 million; and (ii) higher volume of ethane imported from the United States through the Fast Track solution due to lower supply from Pemex in the period.

Additionally, the higher variable, general and administrative expenses in the quarter, explained by higher inventory expenses due to the plant's scheduled shutdown, were offset by the provision for the of a contractual fine to be received for the delay in the construction of the ethane import terminal.

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 

 

5.3.1OPERATIONALOVERVIEW

a) PE demand in the Mexican market: higher in relation to 1Q25 (+11%) and 2Q24 (+10%), mainly due to the anticipation of purchases in the transformation chain due to uncertainties regarding the global supply of PE and expectations of price increases in the coming periods.

 

b) Average utilization rate of PE plants: lower compared to 1Q25 (-35 p.p.) and 2Q24 (-34 p.p.), mainly due to (i) the beginning of the general maintenance shutdown at the Braskem Idesa Petrochemical Complex; and (ii) lower ethane supply due to operational problems at PEMEX, which was around 13 thousand barrels per day6 compared to 28.3 thousand barrels per day in 1Q25 and 26 thousand barrels per day in 2Q24.

The volume of ethane supplied through the Fast Track solution was around 17.3 thousand barrels per day7, compared to 21.3 thousand barrels per day in 1Q25 and 23 thousand barrels in 2Q24.

c) PE sales volume: lower compared to 1Q25 (-16%) and 2Q24 (-33%), mainly due to the lower availability of product for sale explained by lower production, as mentioned above.

 


7 Calculation of the average supply adjusted to also consider the month of June, in which Braskem Idesa was undergoing a general maintenance shutdown. Considering only the months of April and May, the supply of ethane by PEMEX was around 19.6 thousand barrels per day, and the supply of ethane through the Fast Track solution was around 26 thousand barrels per day.

5.3.3.1ETHANE IMPORT TERMINAL

In May 2025, the construction project for the ethane import terminal in Mexico was completed, through the subsidiary Terminal Químico Puerto México (“TQPM”), a joint venture between Braskem Idesa and Advario, with a 50% stake for each shareholder.

The terminal has the capacity to import up to 80 thousand barrels of ethane/day, which is equivalent to 120% of Braskem Idesa's ethane needs to operate at maximum capacity. The connection between the terminal and the Mexico Petrochemical Complex is made through pipelines and the terminal has 2 tanks with a storage capacity of approximately 50 thousand m³ of ethane each, equivalent to approximately 12 days of inventory.

The total estimated value for the construction of the terminal is US$586 million (US$516 million CAPEX ex-VAT), of which US$408 million is financed, in the Syndicated Project Finance Loan modality, carried out by TQPM in November 2023.

In 2Q25, the cash needs for construction of the terminal were disbursed through the Syndicated Project Finance Loan, without the need for additional contributions from Braskem Idesa and Advario. The amount invested by TQPM in the ethane import terminal in the first quarter of 2025 was US$27 million (R$152 million), using the financing obtained as sources of resources.

The total amount disbursed at the ethane import terminal from the beginning of the project until the end of 2Q25 was around US$432 million, with net disbursements made by Braskem Idesa totaling around US$95 million.

 

5.3.4DEBTMATURITY PROFILE AND RATING

On June 30, 2025, the average debt term was around 5.4 years. The weighted average cost of Braskem Idesa's debt was exchange rate variation +7.3% a.a.

In April 2025, Braskem Idesa signed a financing agreement with Inbursa bank in the amount of US$95 million. The financing has quarterly interest and a term of 4 years, with bullet amortization in 2029. The operation has no covenants, and the resources were used to pre-pay the Term Loan in the amount of US$105 million, eliminating the need to maintain the Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) related to the Term Loan.

6.3OTHER REVENUE (EXPENSE), NET

For 2Q25, Braskem recorded total net revenue of R$439 million, higher than in 1Q25 and 2Q24, mainly due to the (i) recognition of PIS/COFINS tax credits in the amount of R$293 million; (ii) the provision of a contractual fine for the delay in the construction of the ethane import terminal in Mexico, totaling R$106 million to be received by Braskem Idesa; and (iii) reversal of the provision related to the geological event in Alagoas, amounting to approximately R$73 million, mainly explained by the present value adjustment update due to the reassessment of disbursement estimates over time.

6.4RECURRING EBITDA8


The Company's Consolidated Recurring EBITDA totaled US$74 million (R$427 million) in 2Q25, lower than 1Q25 and 2Q24, mainly due to (i) the reduction in international PE and PVC spreads in the Brazil/South America and Mexico segments; (ii) the effects of the scheduled maintenance shutdown in Mexico; and (iii) the inventory effect in all segments.

 


8 Braskem's consolidated results are equal to the sum of the results of Brazil, the United States and Europe and Mexico subtracted from the eliminations and reclassifications of purchases and sales between the Company's reportable segments and added to Other Segments.

6.5CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULT

Financial expenses: in line with 1Q25 (-1%). In relation to 2Q24, the reduction (-4%) is mainly explained by the positive effect related to tax regularization through Refaz Reconstrução9.

Financial Income: lower compared to 1Q25 (-5%) and 2Q24 (-30%), mainly due to lower interest income from financial investments, due to lower the cash position during the period.

Net exchange variation: the positive variation in 2Q25 in relation to 1Q25 is mainly explained by (i) appreciation of 5% of the final real between periods against the dollar over the average net exposure to the dollar in the amount of approximately US$5.5 billion; and (ii) appreciation of 7% of the Mexican peso at the end of the period against the dollar over the average net exposure to the dollar of Braskem Idesa and its subsidiaries in the amount of US$1.8 billion. These effects were partially offset by the impact of hedge accounting in the amount of R$574 million, of which R$418 million refers to Braskem S.A and R$157 million refers to Braskem Idesa.

Transactions in financial instruments under hedge accounting

Regarding Braskem S.A.’s export hedge accounting, the Company realized US$200 million (R$417.7 million) in exports during the quarter from a discontinued cash flow in 2024. The initial designation rate was R$/US$3.9650, set in May 2019, while the realization rate was R$/US$6.0535, set in November 2024. The balance of financial instruments designated for this hedge accounting at the end of 2Q25 was US$6.0 billion.

As for Braskem Idesa’s export hedge accounting, the Company realized US$100.8 million (MXN536.6 million) in exports during the quarter from designated and discontinued flows between 2016 and 2021. The average initial designation rate was MXN/US$14.8084, and the average realization rate was MXN/US$20.1325. The balance of instruments designated for this hedge accounting at the end of 2Q25 was US$2.2 billion.

 


9 On March 18, 2025, the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, through Decree No. 58,067/25, established the “Refaz Reconstrução” Program, which granted discounts on interest and fines and legal fees for payment of ICMS debts, in cash or in installments.

Long-term Currency Hedge Program

Braskem's inputs and products have prices denominated in or strongly influenced by international commodity prices, which are usually denominated in US dollars. Since 2016, Braskem has contracted derivative financial instruments to mitigate part of the exposure of its cash flow denominated in Brazilian real. The program's main form of mitigation is dollar call and put option contracts, protecting flows expected to last up to 18 months.

On June 30, 2025, Braskem had a notional value of outstanding put options of US$0.898 billion, at an average exercise price of R$/US$5.05. At the same time, the Company also had a total outstanding notional amount sold in calls of US$0.620 billion, at an average exercise price of R$/US$7.32. The operations contracted have a maximum maturity of 18 months. The marking to fair value of these Zero Cost Collar ("ZCC") operations was negative at R$27.6 million at the end of 2Q25.

Despite volatility, the dollar remained within expected limits during the period, with no option exercises and no cash impact in 2Q25.

 

6.6NET INCOME (LOSS)

In the quarter, the Company reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of US$45 million, or R$267 million, mainly due to (i) decrease of 4 p.p. in gross margin compared to the previous quarter; and (ii) a reduction of approximately R$700 million in financial results, driven by lower gains from derivatives and net foreign exchange variations compared to the previous quarter.

 

6.7INVESTMENTS

The investment planned for 2025 by Braskem (ex-Braskem Idesa and ex-REIQ Investimentos) is US$404 million (R$2,4 billion).

At the end of 2Q25, Braskem had made investments worth approximately US$91 million (R$515 million) (ex-Braskem Idesa and ex-REIQ Investimentos).

Operating Investments 2Q25: (i) general maintenance shutdown of the PE plant in Bahia and the petrochemical complex in Rio de Janeiro; (ii) investment in the modernization of the waterproofing system and environmental protection of industrial tanks; and (iii) acquisition of spare parts to ensure operational continuity.

Strategic Investments 2Q25: investment in adsorbent renewal and equipment for paraxylene production to ensure operational continuity and market supply, as well as process adjustments for the industrial production of new, higher value-added copolymer grades.

2Q25 REIQ Investimentos
:
In January 2025, Braskem announced REIQ Investimentos, which consists of a presumed PIS/COFINS credit of 1.5% linked to investments in the Brazilian chemical industry. Braskem has been advancing its capacity expansion projects using REIQ Investimentos. For 2025, the estimated investment is R$495 million (US$83 million).

In 2Q25, the Company recorded approximately R$59 million (US$10 million) in tax credits, mainly related to investments in the Transforma Rio project, in technologies to increase added value and efficiency across the resin chain, and in process adjustments for the industrial production of new, higher value-added copolymer grades.

 

6.8STRATEGY

Braskem remains committed to executing the initiatives outlined in its Resilience and Transformation Program, focusing on overcoming the structural challenges of the global petrochemical industry and the Brazilian chemical sector. Through disciplined financial management, the Company has adopted decisive measures aimed at creating sustainable value, with emphasis on maximizing EBITDA and increasing cash generation.

6.8.1FINANCIALRESILIENCE AND HEALTH PROGRAM

Braskem’s Financial Resilience and Soundness Program aims to implement tactical and decisive initiatives across the Company’s operations and processes. Structured around three pillars — (i) initiatives impacting EBITDA; (ii) initiatives impacting cash generation; and (iii) actions to defend the competitiveness of the Brazilian chemical industry — the Program has been progressing as illustrated below:

i.Initiatives impacting EBITDA: include actions in commercial, supply, feedstock acquisition and trading, logistics, energy, and other areas that face additional challenges in product sales strategy and variable cost reduction. Additionally, all Company teams are committed to financial discipline focused on reducing variable, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), as well as other fixed costs, through process simplification and internal optimizations.
ii.Initiatives impacting cash generation: this pillar includes actions aimed at optimizing working capital and strategically allocating CAPEX, both operational and growth oriented. Braskem has been seeking alternative financing methods to enable its projects through partnerships and the use of sector-specific incentives. One example is REIQ Investimentos, a branch of the Special Regime for the Chemical Industry, which provides a presumed PIS/COFINS credit of 1.5% for investments in expanding the installed capacity of the Brazilian chemical industry. In this context, Braskem announced in January the execution of seven expansion projects, totaling approximately 139 thousand tons of additional production capacity, enabled through the allocation of around R$614 million from this tax incentive.
   
  30 

EARNINGS RELEASE 2Q25

 
iii.Actions to uphold the competitiveness of the Brazilian chemical industry: The Brazilian chemical industry, a strategic and essential sector for the country’s economic development, is currently facing one of the most challenging scenarios in its history. The sector’s idle capacity rate has reached record levels, reflecting growing international competition, often with more favorable cost structures. Moreover, the industry is under pressure from the global energy transition agenda, which requires significant investments in plant and process modernization, feedstock substitution, and CO₂ emissions reduction.

In response, Braskem, together with ABIQUIM and other industry players, emphasizes the importance of implementing mechanisms to protect the national industry, aiming to ensure a more competitive balance at the regional level. One example is Bill 892/25, which establishes the Special Sustainability Program for the Chemical Industry (“Presiq”), designed to promote sustainability and competitiveness in the sector through tax incentives. Braskem reaffirms its support for the approval of this bill, recognizing it as essential for strengthening the entire chemical production chain.

Additionally, with the approaching end of the Special Regime for the Chemical Industry (“REIQ”), scheduled for 2027 — a mechanism that reduces the tax burden on feedstock purchases — it becomes urgent to adopt measures that ensure the competitiveness of the Brazilian chemical industry in the face of structural and cyclical challenges. For Braskem, the reinstatement of the tax benefit on feedstock purchases to the original rate of 8.25% - approved when REIQ was implemented in 2013 - represents an opportunity for competitive parity.

6.8.2TRANSFORMATIONPROGRAM

Focused on building a more competitive, resilient, and sustainable Braskem, the Transformation Program brings together initiatives that support the long-term continuity of the business. Structured around three pillars: (i) naphtha-based optimization; (ii) gas-based expansion and flexibility; and (iii) migration to renewables. The Program is encapsulated in the phrase 'Switch to gas and fly up to green,' which reflects the Company’s commitment to energy transition and the evolution of its gas-based portfolio. The planned actions aim to strengthen operational efficiency, diversify the feedstock matrix, and accelerate the decarbonization of industrial processes.

i.Naphtha-based optimization: involves implementing the strategy for naphtha-based assets with a focus on profitability and cash generation. In this context, the Company evalutes (i) optimizing the use of its most competitive industrial lines, such as the Rio de Janeiro unit, which operated at a 95% utilization rate in 2Q25; and (ii) hibernating less globally competitive lines through a reassessment of the asset portfolio. This reassessment considers factors such as plant age, technology, production cost, scale, and operational synergies, aiming for greater efficiency and profitability.
ii.Gas-based expansion and flexibility: (i) enabling capacity expansion projects for gas-based feedstocks (ethane/propane/HLR); (ii) increasing flexibility of petrochemical complexes in Brazil; and (iii) ensuring operational stability through secured feedstock supply.

the Transforma Rio project is under this pillar, announced in February 2025, which aims to expand the capacity of the Rio de Janeiro petrochemical complex by 230 thousand tons of ethylene per year, along with equivalent volumes of polyethylene. Initially, only the conceptual and basic engineering study phase, totaling approximately R$233 million, has been approved.

The project’s Final Investment Decision is subject to the signing of a long-term ethane supply agreement and the use of resources under the REIQ Investimentos framework.

iii.Migration to renewables: in response to growing demand for renewable products, Braskem reinforces its pioneering role in bioproducts, aiming to expand its production capacity to 1 million tons per year by 2030.

Several global initiatives are underway to support this growth, including: (i) Sustainea, a partnership with Sojitz for the production of bioMEG and bioMPG — renewable inputs for PET; (ii) the Braskem Siam joint venture with SCG Chemicals, which is developing the first Green Ethylene plant outside Brazil; and (iii) the development of new bioproducts and sustainable businesses, supported by Braskem’s innovation centers, such as the one in Lexington (USA), focused on renewable solutions.

6.9CASH FLOW

In 2Q25, Braskem reported an operational cash consumption of R$175 million, lower than in 1Q25, mainly due to reduced working capital consumption during the period. This was driven by lower costs of finished goods and feedstock, and the Company’s efforts to optimize inventory levels throughout the quarter.

Recurring cash consumption was also lower compared to 1Q25, in the amount of R$1 billion in 2Q25, primarily due to lower semiannual interest payments on the Company’s international bonds, which are concentrated in the first and third quarters of the year.

Including disbursements related to the geological event in Alagoas, the Company recorded total cash consumption of R$1.4 billion in 2Q25.

 

6.10DEBT MATURITY PROFILE AND RATING

As of June 30, 2025, the balance of Braskem’s gross corporate debt was US$8.5 billion, in line with the balance reported on March 31, 2025. At the end of the period, corporate debt denominated in foreign currency accounted for 91% of the Company’s total debt.

The average maturity of corporate debt was approximately 9 years as of June 2025, with 68% of the debt maturing from 2030 onward. The Company’s weighted average cost of corporate debt was exchange rate variation +6.19% per year.

The Company ended the quarter with an adjusted net debt balance of US$6.8 billion.

8.3UPDATES ABOUT ALAGOAS

In May 2019, the Geological Survey of Brazil (“CPRM”) issued a report, indicating that the geological phenomenon identified in certain neighborhoods of the municipality of Maceió, Alagoas, could be related to the rock salt well exploration activities developed by Braskem. The salt mining operation, from this moment on, was fully ended by the Company.

Since then, the Company has been devoting its best efforts to understand the geological event, its possible effects on surfaces, stability of rock salt cavities and in carrying out precautionary measures to ensure public safety. The results arising from the understanding of the geological event are being shared with the Brazilian National Mining Agency (“ANM”) and other pertinent authorities.

As a result of the geological phenomenon, negotiations were conducted with public and regulatory authorities that resulted in the Agreements executed, including the following agreements in progress:

i)Agreement to Support the Relocation of People in Risk Areas (“Agreement for Compensation of Residents"), entered into with State Prosecution Office (“MPE”), the State Public Defender’s Office (“DPE”), the Federal Prosecution Office (“MPF”) and the Federal Public Defender’s Office (“DPU”), which was ratified by the court on January 3, 2020, adjusted by its resolutions and subsequent amendments, , which establish cooperative actions for relocating residents from risk areas, defined in the Map of Sectors of Damages and Priority Action Lines by the Civil Defense of Maceió (“Civil Defense Map”), as updated in December 2020 (version 4), and guaranteed their safety, which provides support, under the Financial Compensation and Support for Relocation Program (“PCF”) implemented by Braskem to the population in the areas of the Civil Defense Map. Following ratification by the courts of the Agreement for Compensation of Residents, the Public-Interest Civil Action for Resident Reparation was dismissed;
ii)Agreement to Dismiss the Public-Interest Civil Action on Socio-Environmental Reparation (“ACP Socio-Environmental Reparation”) and the Agreement to define the measures to be adopted regarding the preliminary injunctions of the Public-Interest Civil Action on Socio-Environmental Reparation (jointly referred to as “Agreement for Socio-Environmental Reparation”), signed with the MPF with the MPE as the intervening party, on December 30, 2020, in which the Company mainly undertook to: (i) adopt measures to stabilize and monitor the subsidence phenomenon arising from salt mining; (ii) repair, mitigate or compensate possible environmental impacts and damages arising from salt mining in the Municipality of Maceió; and (iii) repair, mitigate or compensate possible socio-environmental impacts and damages arising from salt mining in the Municipality of Maceió.

b)Actions for closing and monitoring the salt cavities, environmental actions and other technical matters: Based on the findings of sonar and technical studies, stabilization and monitoring actions were defined for all 35 existing salt mining areas.

The closure plan of 35 mining areas currently considers the following:

i)18 cavities are scheduled for priority filling with solid material. To date, 6 cavities have been filled (cavities 04, 07, 11, 17, 19 and 25), 2 cavities have reached the technical filling limit (cavities 15 and 27), 5 cavities are in the filling process (cavities 16, 20/21, 22/23), and the remaining 5 cavities are in the preparation and planning activities;
ii)6 cavities were naturally filled and, therefore, do not indicate, at this moment, the need for additional measures. Technical studies on the natural filling of cavity 18, which collapsed on December 10, 2023, were approved by the ANM in May 2025;
iii)11 cavities remain within the salt layer and pressurized. By the end of 2024, the Company based on the technical note issued by expert consultancy, considered the recommendation of filling these pressurized cavities with solid material, in the long term, over the course of several years to decades, and after the completion of the current filling plan, with the purpose of to achieve a maintenance-free state for the 35 cavities, suitable for the final closure of the field.

 

Note that any need for additional actions is assessed on an ongoing basis by the Company and are based on technical studies prepared by external specialists, whose recommendations may be updated periodically according to the changes in the geological event and knowledge obtained, being submitted to competent authorities and following the execution timeframe agreed under the mine closure plan, which is public and regularly revaluated with ANM. Subsidence is a dynamic process occurring in the area outlined by the priority action lines map and should continue to be monitored during and after the actions envisaged in the closure plan. The results of the monitoring activities will be important to assess the need for potential future actions, with a focus on security and monitoring of stability in the region. Any potential future actions may result in significant additional costs and expenses that may differ from current estimates and provisions.

The provisioned balance amount of R$2,183 million (2024: R$2,607 million) to implement actions for closing and monitoring the salt cavities, environmental actions and other technical matters was calculated based on currently known techniques and the solutions planned for the current conditions of the cavities, including expenses with technical studies and monitoring, as well as environmental actions already identified. The provision amount may be changed based on new information, such as: results of the monitoring of the cavities, progress of implementing the plans to close mining areas, possible changes to be made to the environmental plan, monitoring of the ongoing measures and other possible natural alterations.

Regarding environmental actions, in compliance with the Agreement for Socio-environmental Reparation, Braskem continues implementing the actions established in the environmental plan approved by the MPF and sharing the results of its actions with the authorities. As one of the results of the collapse of cavity 18, as agreed in the Socio-Environmental Reparation Agreement, the specific Environmental Diagnosis to evaluate potential impacts caused by the collapse of said cavity, conducted by specialized firm, was completed. The report was submitted to the authorities, and their opinion is awaited concerning the recommended additional actions, which are related to evaluations and monitoring that complement the ongoing environmental plan.

On this date, the aforementioned CPI was declared closed, with the subsequent submission of the final report to the appropriate institutions.

There are also administrative proceedings related to the geological event in Alagoas in progress before the Federal Accounting Court ("TCU") and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil ("CVM"). The Company has been monitoring the matters and their developments.

The Company has been making progress in negotiations with public entities about other indemnification requests to understand them better, which may lead to future agreements. Although future disbursements may occur as a result of said negotiations, as of the reporting date, the Company is unable to predict the results and timeframe for concluding these negotiations or its possible scope and the total associated costs in addition to those already provisioned for.

It is not possible to anticipate all new claims related to damage or other nature, that may be brought by individuals or groups, including public or private entities, that understand they suffered impacts or damages somehow related to the geological phenomenon and the relocation of people from risk areas, as well as new notices of violation or administrative penalties of diverse natures. Braskem continues to face and could still face administrative procedures and various lawsuits filed by individuals or legal entities not included in the PCF or that disagree with the financial compensation offer for individual settlement, as well as new collective actions and new lawsuits filed by public utility concessionaires, entities of the direct or indirect administration of the State, Municipalities or Federal level. Therefore, the number of such actions, their nature or the amounts involved cannot be estimated at this moment.

Consequently, the Company cannot eliminate the possibility of future developments related to all aspects of the geological event in Alagoas, the relocation process and actions in vacated and adjacent areas, so the expenses to be incurred may significantly differ from its estimates and provisions.

For more information, please check explanatory note 23 ("Geological event – Alagoas") of the consolidated and individual Financial Statements as of June 30, 2025.
