Thank you, Roberta, and thanks to everyone for joining us this morning. Please let’s move now to a Slide number 3, where we will begin our presentation. Let me begin by saying that despite a very challenging environment with significant volatility in commodity prices and ongoing inflationary cost pressures, we are pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year operational performance.

I’m closing my first year as CEO of Nexa and I’m very proud of the important work we have done throughout 2022. I would like to reflect on some of the key accomplishments of the year. We deployed a set of initiatives and new ways of working, better streamline our corporate structure and supported our strategic priorities.
