  "account": "Priner announced a capital increase of up to R$ 220 million, aiming to prepare for a new growth surge in the 'mining operations' segment, which represents the company's fastest-growing area. The capital increase will only be conducted alongside the company's industrial and mining services shareholders, who will have a preferential right to subscribe to the new shares. If shareholders do not exercise their full rights, the remainder will be sold on the market. The raise will be a minimum of R$ 100 million (a figure attained with 45% of the subscribable base), potentially reaching R$ 220 million if all shareholders exercise their rights. The top shareholders of the company today are Absolute and Alpha Key, each holding 14% of the capital, and Leblon Equities, a historic shareholder with 8% of the shares. CFO Taryn Silvestre told Brazil Journal that Priner has grown significantly in the mining operations segment, where it operates full mines for miners, including drilling and mining transport, which demands high investments in equipment and working capital. Alongside the announcement of the capital increase, the company reported that its backlog of new contracts grew by R$ 1.8 billion, of which R$ 1.5 billion came from mining operations. The total backlog is now R$ 5 billion. These new mining operation contracts are 5 years long, thus adding R$ 300 million per year in revenue to the company. \"For these R$ 1.5 bi, we already have the necessary capital, but we have a commercial pipeline prospecting in this segment of about R$ 20 billion. The idea of the capital increase is to bring equity to prepare for a new growth surge,\" the executive said. For the R$ 1.5 bi of new backlog, the CFO stated that Priner will need to invest R$ 250 million in capex, buying trucks, excavators, and drillers, and another R$ 50 million in working capital. If raising the R$ 220 million in the capital increase, the company would be prepared to handle another R$ 3 bi of contracts, considering a 2x leverage, or R$ 440 million in debt. According to him, the target of R$ 3 bi in new contracts is feasible considering the company's historical conversion in the segment. This year, for example, 15% of the commercial pipeline converted into contracts. \"If the conversion is a bit worse, it might not be exactly R$ 3 bi, but we also have other businesses and can always look at M&As,\" he said. Priner, which was born from a spinoff of Mills in 2012 and made its IPO in 2020, entered the mining operations segment last year with the acquisition of 60% of Semep. Today, this vertical accounts for 20% of the company's revenue, which is expected to generate around R$ 2 billion this year. Another 30% of revenue comes from other mining-related services, such as geotechnical engineering and factory assembly for miners; while 10% comes from inspections and 40% from trenching and industrial services related to trenches. Priner is worth R$ 1.2 billion on the stock exchange, with its share rising 37% over the last twelve months. In the last five days, the stock surged almost 13%, following a generalized rally in the market.",
  "summary": "A Priner anunciou um aumento de capital de até R$ 220 milhões, buscando se preparar para uma nova pernada de crescimento no segmento de ‘operações minerárias’, o que mais cresce dentro da companhia. O aumento de capital será feito apenas junto à base de acionistas da companhia de serviços industriais e de mineração, que terão o direito de preferência para subscrever as novas ações.",
