Buenaventura Announces

First Quarter 2023 Results

Lima, Peru, April 27, 2023 – Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the first quarter (1Q23) ended March 31, 2023. All figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on a non-GAAP basis and are stated in U.S. dollars (US$).

First Quarter Highlights:

•	1Q23 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 51.6 million, compared to US$ 86.9 million reported in 1Q22, EBITDA results do not include US$ 300 million from the sale of Buenaventura’s stake in Yanacocha.

•	1Q23 EBITDA including associated companies reached US$ 181.9 million, compared to US$ 233.7 million in 1Q22, EBITDA results do not include US$ 300 million from the sale of Buenaventura’s stake in Yanacocha.

•	1Q23 net income from continuing operations reached US$ 72.2 million, compared to a US$ 134.7 million net income from continuing operations for the same period in 2022.

•

El Brocal ore mined from its open pit was stockpiled during the 1Q23 and was not treated during the quarter. Underground mine production increased to 9,350 tpd during 1Q23, compared to 7,100 tpd in 1Q22, as part of the ramp-up to reach 10,000 tpd during 2023. This stockpiled lead and zinc ore will be treated at El Brocal’s processing plant in 2Q23.

•	Buenaventura’s cash position reached US$ 173.5 million as of March 31, 2023. Net Debt increased to US$ 556.8 million with an average maturity of 3.1 years.

•	1Q23 capital expenditures were US$ 36.2 million, compared to US$ 19.9 million for the same period in 2022. 1Q23 CAPEX includes US$ 9.7 million related to the San Gabriel Project and US$ 8.8 million related to the Yumpag Project.

•	On March 24, 2023, Cerro Verde announced a total dividend distribution of US$ 250 million. Buenaventura will receive US$ 49.0 million relative to its stake in Cerro Verde on April 28, 2023.

•

During 1Q23, operations at Julcani were suspended for 10 days in February 2023 related to anti-government protests which adversely impacted production and mine development. Operations were fully reestablished on February 16, 2023 and Buenaventura plans to recover production in subsequent quarters and expects to meet 2023 production guidance.

Financial Highlights (in millions of US$, except EPS figures):

(2) As of March 31, 2023, Buenaventura had a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 253,986,867.

Operating Revenues

1Q23 net sales were US$ 185.5 million, compared to US$ 231.5 million reported in 1Q22; a year-on-year decrease resulting from decreased commodity prices and reduced lead, zinc, and silver volumes sold which was partially offset by increased copper volume sold. No ore from the El Brocal lead and zinc open pit was processed during the first quarter. However, stockpiled lead and zinc ore will be treated at El Brocal’s processing plant in 2Q23.

Production and Operating Costs

Buenaventura’s 1Q23 equity gold production was 36,352 ounces, compared to 41,470 ounces produced in 1Q22, primarily due to La Zanja mining operation suspension since 4Q22. Silver, lead, and zinc production decreased by 38%, 65%, and 83% year on year, respectively. This decrease in production was primarily due to the fact that the El Brocal underground mine was the sole producing mine during 1Q23 as with the adverse impact of the 10-day suspension of activities at Julcani due to protests as described. The Company’s 1Q23 equity copper production was 29,254 MT, compared to 27,257 MT produced in 1Q22.

El Brocal 1Q23 copper production increased by 20% year on year due to increased ore treated at the Marcapunta underground mine. El Brocal processed nearly 9,500tpd as part of its mine ramp-up phase, and is expected to reach 10,000tpd during 2023. Silver and zinc production decreased by 59% and 100% year on year, respectively, as part as the planned transition to copper from polymetallic ore. No ore from El Brocal’s lead and zinc open pit was processed during the first quarter. However, stockpiled lead and zinc ore increased El Brocal inventories and will be treated at its processing plant in subsequent quarters (1Q23: 232,018 TMS vs. 4Q22: 60,558 TMS).

1Q23 Copper Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) increased by 2% year on year due to fixed costs from the open pit mine which were absorbed by the underground mine.

1Q23 General and Administrative expenses were US$ 18.1 million; a 2% decrease as compared to US$ 18.5 million in 1Q22.

Share in Associated Companies

Buenaventura’s share in associated companies was US$ 59.4 million in 1Q23, compared with US$ 75.4 million in 1Q22, comprised of:

APPENDIX 4: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales and Cost Applicable to Sales per Unit Sold

Cost applicable to sales consists of cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus selling expenses. Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine consists of cost applicable to sales for a particular metal produced at a given mine divided by the volume of such metal produced at such mine in the specified period. We note that cost applicable to sales is not directly comparable to the cash operating cost figures disclosed in previously furnished earnings releases.

Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are not measures of financial performance under IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We consider Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold to be key measures in managing and evaluating our operating performance. These measures are widely reported in the precious metals industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have standardized meanings. You should not consider Cost applicable to sales or Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold as alternatives to cost of sales determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our operating performance. Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are calculated without adjusting for by-product revenue amounts.

Operations’ Cost applicable to sales does not include operating cost for those months during which Buenaventura’s operations were suspended due to COVID-19, as these have been classified as “Unabsorbed costs due to production stoppage” within the financial statements.

The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units. The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 by reference to the reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization (by mine and mineral), Selling Expenses (by mine and metal) expenses and Exploration in units in operations (by mine and mineral) to consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, consolidated Selling Expenses and consolidated Exploration in units in operations expenses, respectively, set forth below.
