- Adjusted EBITDA increased 25% quarter-over-quarter to $212 million, supported by a 20% revenue gain to $364 million.
- All-in sustaining cost (AISC) margin at Segovia expanded 25% sequentially, reflecting improved operational efficiency and higher realized gold prices.
- Free cash flow of $42 million was generated while investing $61 million in expansion projects, including significant progress at Marmato and Segovia’s mill capacity ramp-up.
- Net debt reduced dramatically to $1.6 million from $86 million at year-end, bolstering financial flexibility for ongoing growth initiatives.
