what happened

Adjusted EBITDA at Nickel Industries (NIC) reached US$125.9m, up 4% from the previous quarter. The gain was driven mainly by record results in the mining segment, along with the first output of ENC MHP and cathodes. TradingView reported these figures, noting that its summary is AI-generated and should be checked against the company's original document.

Cash generation was weaker. Outflows tied to working capital and lower earnings from the RKEF business held back the cash result, even though operating profit grew.

why it matters

For nickel investors, the key point is that the profit increase came from mining, meaning the company's own ore, rather than from processing. The working-capital outflow shows that turning earnings into cash is uneven, which matters when assessing the company's shares.
