(i) The amounts for 2025 and prior years are mainly related to exchange-rate variations on USD-denominated accounts receivable and payable between Nexa BR with NEXA, as well as on intercompany loans between Nexa BR and its related parties, for which the exchange variation is not eliminated in consolidation, and on foreign-currency denominated loans. These transactions were affected by the volatility of the Brazilian Real (“BRL”), which strengthened against the USD during 2025, while depreciating during 2024.

(ii) As of December 31, 2025, interest related to uncertain tax positions increased primarily due to changes in estimates under IFRIC 23 related to Cerro Lindo’s tax stability agreement.
