what happened

Nickel Industries reported third-quarter adjusted EBITDA up 4% from the prior quarter, reaching US$125.9m. TradingView notes that the increase was driven mainly by record sales and earnings from the Hengjaya mine.

The ENC project moved forward in commissioning, but drought slowed its ramp-up and reduced output from the RKEF operation. After the quarter ended, the company secured a US$245m project-finance facility.

why it matters

For nickel markets, the EBITDA gain rested on ore sales rather than higher metal output, since drought constrained RKEF production and delayed ENC. The US$245m facility, secured after quarter-end, supports continued development of the ENC project.
