<p>淡水河谷最新的财报电话会议传达了整体乐观的基调，管理层指出，调整后的 EBITDA 强劲增长，自由现金流稳健，基础金属出现明显反弹。高管们承认单位成本上升和宏观不确定性，但认为改善的定价、更高的销量以及在淡水河谷基础金属业务中的持续战略举措，足以抵消这些不利因素。</p>
<h2>强劲的调整后 EBITDA 增长</h2>
<p>2026 年第一季度，调整后 EBITDA 达到 39 亿美元，同比增长 21%，显示出盈利动能的恢复。管理层将增长归因于铁矿石、铜和镍的销量增加和更好的价格实现，使淡水河谷能够利用仍然紧张的商品市场。</p>
<h2>淡水河谷基础金属的价值释放</h2>
<p>淡水河谷基础金属成为关键的价值驱动因素，该部门的 EBITDA 在本季度翻了一番，达到 12 亿美元。铜产量同比增长 13%，达到 102,000 吨，为 2017 年以来的最高水平，而镍产量增长 12%，得益于资产优化、汤普森财团等新交易以及进一步的增长选择。</p>
<h2>铁矿石运营势头强劲</h2>
<p>铁矿石业务保持稳定的增长势头，生产同比增长 3%，销售量增长 4%。S11D 和 Brucutu 的创纪录产出，以及 Capanema 和 Vargem Grande 的产量提升，支持了这一增长，而 Serra Sul +20 项目已完成 86%，预计将在 2026 年下半年投产。</p>
<h2>改善的价格实现和溢价</h2>
<p>商业表现是另一个亮点，所有相关溢价环比上涨了每吨 2.6 美元，相当于每年约 8 亿美元的收入。 fines 溢价也显著改善， fines 溢价从 2025 年第四季度的每吨 1.9 美元上升至每吨 4.1 美元，表明产品差异化增强。</p>
<h2>创纪录且高效的基础金属运营</h2>
<p>基础金属资产实现了创纪录且更高效的运营，特别是在 Salobo 和 Sossego，而 Voisey’s Bay 也做出了强劲贡献。这些增长，加上各个地点的运营改善，推动了铜和镍的产量达到新高，并帮助降低单位成本。</p>
<h2>VBM 的材料成本降低</h2>
<p>淡水河谷基础金属的成本表现引人注目，铜的全成本同比下降 1800 美元，降至每吨负 600 美元，主要得益于副产品收入和黄金产量的增加。镍的全成本下降 48%，降至每吨 8200 美元，因为多金属副产品和更高的生产量稀释了固定成本。</p>
<h2>强劲的现金生成和股东回报</h2>
<p>经常性自由现金流同比增长 61%，达到 8.13 亿美元，突显了公司的现金生成能力改善。淡水河谷在本季度向投资者返还了 27 亿美元的股息和资本利息，回购了近 500 万股，并将净债务维持在 178 亿美元，远低于其 100 亿至 200 亿美元的目标范围内。</p>
<h2>脱碳和创新倡议</h2>
<p>会议还强调了淡水河谷的脱碳战略，包括达成协议，从 2029 年起部署全球首艘乙醇动力的远洋 Guaibamax 船只。结合风助旋翼帆，这些船预计将减少高达 90% 的排放，强化了公司在其价值链中减少排放的长期目标。</p>
<h2>铁矿石 C1 现金成本上升</h2>
<p>尽管运营强劲，铁矿石 C1 现金成本（不包括第三方采购）同比上升 12%，达到每吨 23.6 美元。管理层将这一增长主要归因于巴西雷亚尔升值和前几个季度积累的高成本库存的减少，强调货币是一个关键的波动因素。</p>
<h2>全部现金成本压力和指导风险</h2>
<p>全部现金成本同比上升 8%，第一季度 C1 水平高于淡水河谷全年指导的中点，接近每吨 21 美元。高管们警告称，当前的成本指导依赖于外汇和油价曲线，强调成本纪律必须应对外部宏观波动。</p>
<h2>临时价格调整影响 VBM EBITDA</h2>
<p>淡水河谷基础金属的强劲 EBITDA 数据受到约 1.4 亿美元的负临时价格调整的影响。管理层表示，如果当前的远期曲线保持不变，这些市值调整的影响可能在第二季度逆转，暗示报告盈利存在一定的上行风险。</p>
<h2>营运资金和库存增加</h2>
<p>本季度营运资金变得更加负面，因为公司增加了库存并看到应收账款上升。尽管管理层预计收款和库存正常化将在未来几个季度支持现金流，但短期影响对现金转换造成了拖累，尽管运营结果强劲。</p>
<h2>物流、运费和成本曲线的压力</h2>
<p>高管们指出，近期的地缘政治事件使行业成本曲线提高了大约每吨 5 到 10 美元，对于一些边际生产商则超过每吨 10 美元。他们估计，价格下跌 10 美元可能会迫使超过 5000 万吨的供应退出市场，突显出高昂的物流和运费成本作为结构性压力，同时也是价格的潜在支撑。</p>
<h2>分销成本和特许权使用费的不确定性</h2>
<p>分销成本激增，有一个参考指出，由于将货物集中运输到中国港口，环比上涨了约 40%。与此同时，关于特许权使用费计算机制的持续法律和监管辩论为未来特许权使用费负担和净收益的建模引入了不确定性。</p>
<h2>铜的运营中断和维护风险</h2>
<p>铜业务面临一些运营风险，因为 Sossego 矿山计划在今年晚些时候进行为期 110 天的维护停产。管理层指出，这次停产可能会使达到 35 万吨至 38 万吨的年度铜生产指导的上限变得更加困难，即使在第一季度表现强劲的情况下。</p>
<h2>外部市场和区域风险</h2>
<p>区域和政策风险依然在关注之中，中东冲突虽然对供应的净影响目前保持中性，但却提高了成本。印度尼西亚的政策变化和硫酸供应问题正在收紧镍市场，而 Simandou 的投产，其高铝矿石则为铁矿石市场的产品组合和溢价动态增添了不确定性。</p>
<h2>前瞻性指导和展望</h2>
<p>展望未来，淡水河谷重申，基于市场对汇率和油价的共识，尽管第一季度水平较高，仍然瞄准全年 C1 成本指导的上限。管理层预计铁矿石将继续强劲，基础金属成本将进一步下降，Serra Sul +20 计划于 2026 年下半年启动，商业溢价和燃料对冲将支持利润率。</p>
<p>淡水河谷的财报电话会议描绘了一幅矿业公司在运营和定价势头中乘风破浪的画面，同时应对不断上升的成本和全球不确定性。投资者看到的是强劲的现金生成、复兴的基础金属业务和雄心勃勃的脱碳计划，但也受到汇率、油价和地缘政治发展的敏感性影响，这些因素可能会影响利润率和估值。</p>

</div><p>Vale S.A.’s latest earnings call struck a broadly upbeat tone, with management pointing to strong growth in pro forma EBITDA, robust free cash flow and a sharp turnaround in base metals. Executives acknowledged rising unit costs and macro uncertainty, but argued that improved pricing, higher volumes and ongoing strategic moves in Vale Base Metals more than offset these headwinds.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>淡水河谷最新的财报电话会议传达了整体乐观的基调，管理层指出，调整后的 EBITDA 强劲增长，自由现金流稳健，基础金属出现明显反弹。高管们承认单位成本上升和宏观不确定性，但认为改善的定价、更高的销量以及在淡水河谷基础金属业务中的持续战略举措，足以抵消这些不利因素。</p>
</div><h2>Strong Pro Forma EBITDA Growth</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>强劲的调整后 EBITDA 增长</h2>
</div><p>Pro forma EBITDA reached $3.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 21% year-on-year, underscoring renewed earnings momentum. Management attributed the gain to higher volumes and better price realization across iron ore, copper and nickel, positioning Vale to leverage a still-tight commodity market.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>2026 年第一季度，调整后 EBITDA 达到 39 亿美元，同比增长 21%，显示出盈利动能的恢复。管理层将增长归因于铁矿石、铜和镍的销量增加和更好的价格实现，使淡水河谷能够利用仍然紧张的商品市场。</p>
</div><h2>Vale Base Metals Value Unlock</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>淡水河谷基础金属的价值释放</h2>
</div><p>Vale Base Metals emerged as a key value driver, with segment EBITDA more than doubling to $1.2 billion in the quarter. Copper output rose 13% year-on-year to 102,000 tons, the highest since 2017, while nickel production climbed 12%, backed by asset optimization, new transactions such as the Thompson consortium and further growth optionality.</p>

</div><h2>Iron Ore Operational Momentum</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>铁矿石运营势头强劲</h2>
</div><p>Iron ore operations maintained steady momentum, with production up 3% and sales volumes up 4% year-on-year. Record output at S11D and Brucutu, along with ramp-ups at Capanema and Vargem Grande, supported the growth, while the Serra Sul +20 project reached 86% completion and remains on track to start up in the second half of 2026.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>铁矿石业务保持稳定的增长势头，生产同比增长 3%，销售量增长 4%。S11D 和 Brucutu 的创纪录产出，以及 Capanema 和 Vargem Grande 的产量提升，支持了这一增长，而 Serra Sul +20 项目已完成 86%，预计将在 2026 年下半年投产。</p>
</div><h2>Improved Price Realization and Premiums</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>改善的价格实现和溢价</h2>
</div><p>Commercial performance was another bright spot as all linked premiums rose by $2.6 per ton quarter-on-quarter, equivalent to around $800 million in annualized revenue. Fines premiums also improved materially, with the fines premium climbing to $4.1 per ton versus $1.9 per ton in the fourth quarter of 2025, signaling stronger product differentiation.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>商业表现是另一个亮点，所有相关溢价环比上涨了每吨 2.6 美元，相当于每年约 8 亿美元的收入。 fines 溢价也显著改善， fines 溢价从 2025 年第四季度的每吨 1.9 美元上升至每吨 4.1 美元，表明产品差异化增强。</p>
</div><h2>Record and Efficient Base Metals Operations</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>创纪录且高效的基础金属运营</h2>
</div><p>Base metals assets delivered record and more efficient operations, particularly at Salobo and Sossego, while Voisey’s Bay made a strong contribution. These gains, combined with operational improvements across sites, pushed copper and nickel production to new highs and helped drive unit cost reductions.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>基础金属资产实现了创纪录且更高效的运营，特别是在 Salobo 和 Sossego，而 Voisey’s Bay 也做出了强劲贡献。这些增长，加上各个地点的运营改善，推动了铜和镍的产量达到新高，并帮助降低单位成本。</p>
</div><h2>Material Cost Reductions in VBM</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>VBM 的材料成本降低</h2>
</div><p>Cost performance in Vale Base Metals was striking, with copper all-in costs falling by $1,800 per ton year-on-year to a negative $600 per ton, largely due to byproduct revenues and higher gold volumes. Nickel all-in costs dropped 48% to $8,200 per ton as polymetallic byproducts and higher production volumes diluted fixed costs.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>淡水河谷基础金属的成本表现引人注目，铜的全成本同比下降 1800 美元，降至每吨负 600 美元，主要得益于副产品收入和黄金产量的增加。镍的全成本下降 48%，降至每吨 8200 美元，因为多金属副产品和更高的生产量稀释了固定成本。</p>
</div><h2>Strong Cash Generation and Shareholder Returns</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>强劲的现金生成和股东回报</h2>
</div><p>Recurring free cash flow rose 61% year-on-year to $813 million, underscoring the company’s improved cash generation. Vale returned $2.7 billion to investors through dividends and interest on capital in the quarter, repurchased nearly 5 million shares and maintained expanded net debt at $17.8 billion, comfortably within its $10–$20 billion target range.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>经常性自由现金流同比增长 61%，达到 8.13 亿美元，突显了公司的现金生成能力改善。淡水河谷在本季度向投资者返还了 27 亿美元的股息和资本利息，回购了近 500 万股，并将净债务维持在 178 亿美元，远低于其 100 亿至 200 亿美元的目标范围内。</p>
</div><h2>Decarbonization and Innovation Initiative</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>脱碳和创新倡议</h2>
</div><p>The call also highlighted Vale’s decarbonization strategy, including an agreement to deploy the world’s first ethanol-powered ocean-going Guaibamax vessels from 2029. Combined with wind-assisted rotor sails, these ships are expected to cut emissions by up to 90%, reinforcing the company’s longer-term ambitions to reduce emissions across its value chain.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>会议还强调了淡水河谷的脱碳战略，包括达成协议，从 2029 年起部署全球首艘乙醇动力的远洋 Guaibamax 船只。结合风助旋翼帆，这些船预计将减少高达 90% 的排放，强化了公司在其价值链中减少排放的长期目标。</p>
</div><h2>Rising C1 Cash Costs for Iron Ore</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>铁矿石 C1 现金成本上升</h2>
</div><p>Despite the operational strength, iron ore C1 cash costs excluding third-party purchases rose 12% year-on-year to $23.6 per ton. Management linked the increase mainly to appreciation of the Brazilian real and the drawdown of higher-cost inventories accumulated in previous quarters, flagging currency as a key swing factor.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>尽管运营强劲，铁矿石 C1 现金成本（不包括第三方采购）同比上升 12%，达到每吨 23.6 美元。管理层将这一增长主要归因于巴西雷亚尔升值和前几个季度积累的高成本库存的减少，强调货币是一个关键的波动因素。</p>
</div><h2>All-in Cash Cost Pressure and Guidance Risk</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>全部现金成本压力和指导风险</h2>
</div><p>All-in cash costs climbed 8% year-on-year, and the first-quarter C1 level stood above the midpoint of Vale’s full-year guidance near $21 per ton. Executives cautioned that delivering the cost guidance now depends heavily on foreign exchange and oil price curves, underscoring that cost discipline must contend with external macro volatility.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>全部现金成本同比上升 8%，第一季度 C1 水平高于淡水河谷全年指导的中点，接近每吨 21 美元。高管们警告称，当前的成本指导依赖于外汇和油价曲线，强调成本纪律必须应对外部宏观波动。</p>
</div><h2>Provisional Price Adjustments Impacting VBM EBITDA</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>临时价格调整影响 VBM EBITDA</h2>
</div><p>Vale Base Metals’ strong EBITDA print was tempered by around $140 million in negative provisional price adjustments at quarter end. Management suggested these mark-to-market effects could reverse in the second quarter if current forward curves hold, implying some upside risk to reported earnings.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>淡水河谷基础金属的强劲 EBITDA 数据受到约 1.4 亿美元的负临时价格调整的影响。管理层表示，如果当前的远期曲线保持不变，这些市值调整的影响可能在第二季度逆转，暗示报告盈利存在一定的上行风险。</p>
</div><h2>Working Capital and Inventory Build</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>营运资金和库存增加</h2>
</div><p>Working capital swung more negative in the quarter as the company built inventories and saw higher accounts receivable. While management expects collections and inventory normalization to support cash in coming quarters, the short-term impact was a drag on cash conversion despite strong operating results.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>本季度营运资金变得更加负面，因为公司增加了库存并看到应收账款上升。尽管管理层预计收款和库存正常化将在未来几个季度支持现金流，但短期影响对现金转换造成了拖累，尽管运营结果强劲。</p>
</div><h2>Logistics, Freight and Cost-Curve Headwinds</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>物流、运费和成本曲线的压力</h2>
</div><p>Executives flagged that recent geopolitical events have pushed the industry cost curve higher by roughly $5 to $10 per ton, and by more than $10 per ton for some marginal producers. They estimate that a $10 drop in prices could force over 50 million tons of supply out of the market, highlighting elevated logistics and freight costs as a structural headwind but also a potential support for prices.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>高管们指出，近期的地缘政治事件使行业成本曲线提高了大约每吨 5 到 10 美元，对于一些边际生产商则超过每吨 10 美元。他们估计，价格下跌 10 美元可能会迫使超过 5000 万吨的供应退出市场，突显出高昂的物流和运费成本作为结构性压力，同时也是价格的潜在支撑。</p>
</div><h2>Distribution Costs and Royalty Uncertainty</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>分销成本和特许权使用费的不确定性</h2>
</div><p>Distribution costs spiked, with one reference pointing to a roughly 40% quarter-on-quarter rise driven in part by a concentration of shipments into Chinese ports. At the same time, ongoing legal and regulatory debates over royalty calculation mechanisms introduce uncertainty for modeling future royalty burdens and netbacks.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>分销成本激增，有一个参考指出，由于将货物集中运输到中国港口，环比上涨了约 40%。与此同时，关于特许权使用费计算机制的持续法律和监管辩论为未来特许权使用费负担和净收益的建模引入了不确定性。</p>
</div><h2>Operational Interruptions and Maintenance Risk in Copper</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>铜的运营中断和维护风险</h2>
</div><p>The copper business faces some operational risk, as the Sossego mine is scheduled for a 110-day maintenance shutdown later in the year. Management noted that this outage could make it harder to reach the upper end of the 350,000 to 380,000 ton annual copper production guidance, even after a robust first quarter.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>铜业务面临一些运营风险，因为 Sossego 矿山计划在今年晚些时候进行为期 110 天的维护停产。管理层指出，这次停产可能会使达到 35 万吨至 38 万吨的年度铜生产指导的上限变得更加困难，即使在第一季度表现强劲的情况下。</p>
</div><h2>External Market and Regional Risks</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>外部市场和区域风险</h2>
</div><p>Regional and policy risks remain firmly on the radar, with the Middle East conflict raising costs even if the net effect on supply remains neutral for now. Indonesian policy changes and sulfuric acid supply issues are tightening the nickel market, while the ramp-up of Simandou, with its high-alumina ore, adds uncertainty to product mix and premium dynamics in the iron ore market.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>区域和政策风险依然在关注之中，中东冲突虽然对供应的净影响目前保持中性，但却提高了成本。印度尼西亚的政策变化和硫酸供应问题正在收紧镍市场，而 Simandou 的投产，其高铝矿石则为铁矿石市场的产品组合和溢价动态增添了不确定性。</p>
</div><h2>Forward-Looking Guidance and Outlook</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>前瞻性指导和展望</h2>
</div><p>Looking ahead, Vale reiterated that, based on market consensus for exchange rates and oil prices, it is targeting the top end of its full-year C1 cost guidance despite the elevated first-quarter level. Management expects continued strength in iron ore and further cost declines in base metals, with Serra Sul +20 on track for a second-half 2026 start-up and commercial premiums and bunker hedging supporting margins.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>展望未来，淡水河谷重申，基于市场对汇率和油价的共识，尽管第一季度水平较高，仍然瞄准全年 C1 成本指导的上限。管理层预计铁矿石将继续强劲，基础金属成本将进一步下降，Serra Sul +20 计划于 2026 年下半年启动，商业溢价和燃料对冲将支持利润率。</p>
</div><p>Vale’s earnings call painted a picture of a miner riding a wave of operational and pricing momentum while navigating rising costs and global uncertainties. Investors were left with a story of strong cash generation, a revitalized base metals franchise and ambitious decarbonization plans, tempered by sensitivity to currency, oil and geopolitical developments that could sway margins and valuations.</p>
