SUMMARY

Delivered Strong Second Quarter Financial Results; Production Reaffirmed and Cost Guidance Improved

 Achieved revenue of $536.4 million and adjusted EBITDA1 of $245.2 million in the second quarter of 2025.

 Strong financial results were driven by attractive operating cost margins and significant exposure to copper and gold across Hudbay's diversified operating portfolio.

 Steady production continued into the second quarter with consolidated copper production of 29,956 tonnes and consolidated gold production of 56,271 ounces.

 Industry-leading cost performance continued in the second quarter with consolidated cash cost1 and sustaining cash cost1 per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, of $(0.02) and $1.65, respectively.

 Reaffirmed full year 2025 consolidated production guidance of 117,000 to 149,000 tonnes of copper and 247,500 to 308,000 ounces of gold.

 Improved full year 2025 consolidated cash cost1 guidance to $0.65 to $0.85 per pound from $0.80 to $1.00 per pound, as year-to-date results are trending well below the low end of the cost ranges due to increased exposure to gold by-product credits and continued strong cost control across all operations.

 Peru operations produced 21,710 tonnes of copper and 7,366 ounces of gold in the second quarter, in line with quarterly cadence expectations, despite lower average mill throughput of approximately 83,100 tonnes per day due to a planned semi-annual mill maintenance shutdown in the second quarter. Peru cash cost1 per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, was $1.45 in the second quarter, in line with the annual guidance range.

 Manitoba operations produced 43,235 ounces of gold in the second quarter, slightly lower than quarterly cadence expectations as a result of a temporary shutdown of operations due to wildfire evacuation orders, partially offset by continued strong gold grades at Lalor and mill throughput outperformance at New Britannia. Manitoba cash cost1 per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, was $710 in the second quarter, in line with the annual guidance range.

 British Columbia operations produced 6,634 tonnes of copper at a cash cost1 per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, of $2.39 in the second quarter, reflecting efficiency benefits from Hudbay's optimization initiatives.

 Second quarter net earnings attributable to owners and earnings per share attributable to owners were $117.7 million and $0.30, respectively, a 17% and 20% increase, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2025 and a significant increase compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by higher gross margins and strong cost control. After adjusting for various non-cash items, second quarter adjusted earnings1 per share attributable to owners was $0.19.

 Cash and cash equivalents increased by $62.9 million to $625.5 million during the second quarter and total liquidity2 was $1,050.2 million as at June 30, 2025.

Continued Free Cash Flow Generation Driving Further Debt Reduction and Balance Sheet Resilience

 Hudbay's unique copper and gold diversification across its operations provides exposure to higher copper and gold prices, which together with a focus on cost control across the business, continues to expand margins and generate attractive free cash flow1.

 While the majority of revenues continue to be derived from copper production, gold represented more than 36% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2025.

 Delivered the eighth consecutive quarter of meaningful free cash flow1 generation with $87.8 million achieved during the second quarter of 2025, resulting in more than $400 million in annual free cash flow1 over the last twelve months.

 Achieved adjusted EBITDA1 of $245.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in record annual trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA1 of $995.9 million.

 Repurchased and retired an additional $50 million of senior unsecured notes through open market purchases at a discount to par during the second quarter, reducing total principal debt to $1.07 billion as of June 30, 2025.

 Approximately $295 million in total debt repayments and gold prepayment liability reductions have been achieved since the beginning of 2024.

 Net debt1 significantly reduced to $434.1 million as at June 30, 2025 compared to $525.7 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $91.6 million in the first half of 2025.

 Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio1 was 0.4x at the end of the second quarter of 2025, an improvement from 0.6x at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and 0.8x at the end of the second quarter of 2024. This is the lowest net leverage level achieved since Hudbay developed Constancia over a decade ago.

 Current balance sheet expected to be further enhanced with proceeds from the $600 million Copper World joint venture transaction, as mentioned below. On a pro-forma basis, as at June 30, 2025, this would increase cash and cash equivalents to more than $1.0 billion and total liquidity to more than $1.5 billion, while reducing net debt1 to zero.


Prudently Advancing Copper World with Accretive Minority Joint Venture Transaction, Enhanced Stream Transaction and Successful Achievement of "3-P" Plan

 Announced $600 million Copper World joint venture transaction with Mitsubishi Corporation ("Mitsubishi") for a 30% minority interest ("JV Transaction").

 Implies a significant premium to consensus net asset value for Copper World3.

 Mitsubishi's $600 million initial investment will consist of $420 million at closing and $180 million within 18 months of closing.

 Mitsubishi will also fund its pro-rata 30% share of future equity capital contributions.

 Increases levered project IRR to Hudbay to approximately 90% based on pre-feasibility study ("PFS") estimates4.

 Secures a premier long-term strategic partner in Mitsubishi, one of the largest Japanese trading houses with a global mining presence and a significant U.S. based business.

 Mitsubishi is the strategic partner of choice with investments in a world-class portfolio of large and high-quality copper assets, including five of the top twenty copper mines globally by 2024 production.

 Mitsubishi's wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas), has over 50 subsidiaries and affiliates across various business sectors, including mineral resources, oil & gas, real estate, mobility, food, power, etc., and manages the company's strategic investments with approximately $9 billion in total assets and trading businesses in North America, which encompass trading activity with a substantial volume of copper, precious metals, and aluminum in the U.S. market.

 Strategic partnership validates the attractive long-term value of Copper World as a world-class copper asset and endorses the strong technical capabilities of Hudbay.

 Agreed on terms with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton") to amend the existing precious metals streaming agreement.

 In addition to the initial $230 million stream deposit, provides an additional contingent payment of up to $70 million on a future potential mill expansion recognizing the long-term potential at Copper World.

 Ongoing payments for gold and silver amended from fixed pricing to 15% of spot prices to provide upside exposure to higher precious metals prices.

 Updated structure aligns with the current development plan for Copper World and the joint venture agreement.

 Successfully completes key elements of Hudbay's prudent financial strategy as part of the three prerequisites ("3-P") plan for Copper World with the announcements of the JV Transaction and the enhanced Wheaton stream, together with the achievements of stated balance sheet targets.

 Before accounting for proceeds from this Transaction, Hudbay had achieved more than $600 million of cash and cash equivalents and a 0.4x net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio1, as of June 30, 2025, far exceeding the stated balance sheet targets.

 The Mitsubishi initial investment and its pro-rata equity capital contributions, together with the amended Wheaton stream, provide significant financial flexibility by reducing Hudbay's estimated share of the remaining capital contributions to approximately $200 million based on PFS estimates4, and defers Hudbay's first capital contribution until 2028 at the earliest.

 Well positioned to advance Copper World towards a sanction decision in 2026.

 Feasibility study for Copper World is underway with expected completion of a definitive feasibility study ("DFS") by mid-2026.

 With this successful de-risking milestone at Copper World, Hudbay expects to accelerate detailed engineering, some key long lead items and other de-risking activities by advancing $20 million in growth capital expenditures to 2025 from future years, and is updating total 2025 Arizona growth spending guidance to $110 million from $90 million on a 100% basis.

Reinvesting in High-return Growth Initiatives to Further Enhance Copper and Gold Exposure

 Advancing high-return brownfield mill enhancement initiatives and greenfield copper projects to drive near-term and long-term production growth with $33.1 million in growth capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2025.

 Optimization efforts at Copper Mountain are focused on executing the planned accelerated stripping program and mill throughput improvement projects. The planned conversion of the third ball mill to a second SAG mill remains on budget and on schedule, with completion of the initial phase achieved on July 10 and ramp up of the final phase expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 Mining of first zinc ore from the exploration and haulage drifts at 1901 was achieved in the second quarter, and planned activities over the next two years are expected to de-risk the path towards full production in 2027.

 Large exploration program in Snow Lake continues to execute threefold strategy focused on near-mine exploration to increase near-term production and mineral reserves, testing regional satellite deposits for additional ore feed to utilize available capacity at the Stall mill, and exploring the large land package for a potential new anchor deposit to meaningfully extend mine life.


 Drilling commenced at the Talbot copper-zinc-gold deposit near Snow Lake as part of a large summer exploration program.

 Continuing to advance Flin Flon tailings reprocessing opportunities through metallurgical test work and economic evaluation to assess the possibility of producing critical minerals and precious metals in an environmentally friendly manner.

 Completed transaction with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation to consolidate Hudbay's 100% ownership of the Copper Mountain mine in a highly accretive transaction to further increase Hudbay's exposure to a long-life, high-quality copper asset in a tier-1 mining jurisdiction, resulting in an expected 200% increase in attributable copper production from Copper Mountain in 2027 compared to 20245.

 Permitting application for the New Ingerbelle growth project at Copper Mountain was accepted for review by the B.C. Major Mines Office in May and is proceeding through the Mine Review Committee review process.

 Continuing to enhance stakeholder engagement and advance additional metallurgical studies at the Mason copper project in Nevada.

Summary of Second Quarter Results

Steady production continued into the second quarter of 2025 with consolidated copper production of 29,956 tonnes and consolidated gold production of 56,271 ounces. Consolidated copper and gold production was lower than the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the impacts of a temporary suspension of operations in Manitoba as a result of mandatory wildfire evacuation orders. Consolidated silver production of 814,989 ounces and zinc production of 5,130 tonnes in the second quarter of 2025 were also lower than the first quarter of 2025 for the aforementioned reason.

Cash generated from operating activities of $259.9 million increased compared to the same period in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 as a result of higher gross margins driven by stable copper production, higher realized prices and positive working capital management with reductions in finished goods inventories and receivable balances. Operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital was $193.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of $70.2 million compared to the same period in 2024 and an increase of $30.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2024 reflects the higher gold realized price during the quarter, strong operating cost performance and higher sales volume partially offset by higher cash taxes paid. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of lower cash taxes paid, offset by lower gold and copper sales volume in Manitoba.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA1 was $245.2 million, a 15% decrease compared to $287.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 due to lower sales volume, partially offset by higher gold prices. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 69% compared to $145.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 as a result of higher sales volume and higher realized gold prices during the quarter.

Net earnings attributable to owners in the second quarter of 2025 was $117.7 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $100.4 million, or $0.25 per share, in the first quarter of 2025 and net loss attributable to owners and loss per share attributable to owners of $16.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in earnings compared to the first quarter of 2025 is the result of high gross margins from strong revenue growth on the back of stable copper production and higher realized gold prices. In addition, the quarter benefited from various non-cash charges for revaluation gain of closed sites reclamation provisions, and significantly reduced net finance expenses, among other items, more than offsetting the high mining and income tax expense experienced in the current quarter.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to owners1 and adjusted net earnings per share attributable to owners1 in the second quarter of 2025 were $75.5 million and $0.19 per share, respectively, after adjusting for various non-cash items on a pre-tax basis such as a non-cash $18.9 million foreign exchange gain, a non-cash gain of $13.8 million related to quarterly revaluation of Hudbay's closed site environmental reclamation provision, a $6.3 million mark-to-market revaluation gain on various instruments such as investments and share-based compensation, and a $1.2 million gain related to flow-through share expenditures, among other items. This compares to adjusted net earnings attributable to owners1 and net earnings per share attributable to owners1 of $0.2 million and nil per share in the second quarter of 2024 and $93.8 million and $0.24 per share in the first quarter of 2025. The sharp increase in adjusted net earnings attributable to owners1 and adjusted net earnings per share attributable to owners1 compared to second quarter of 2024 is for the same reasons discussed above for net earnings.

In the second quarter of 2025, consolidated cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits1, was $(0.02), compared to $(0.45) in the first quarter of 2025 as the Company continued to demonstrate industry-leading cost performance. The change from the first quarter was a result of lower by-product credits and lower production levels in Manitoba during the second quarter. When compared to the second quarter of 2024, consolidated cash cost per pound of copper, net of by-product credits1 decreased by $1.16 as a result of higher by-product credits, higher production and stronger cost performance across all business units.

Consolidated sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits1, was $1.65 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.72 in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by planned higher sustaining capital expenditures and the aforementioned variance in cash cost. Consolidated sustaining cash cost was lower than $2.65 in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the same factors impacting consolidated cash cost and partially offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures.


Consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits1, was $2.03 in the second quarter of 2025, higher than $0.97 in the first quarter of 2025 mainly due to the same reasons outlined above as well as higher corporate G&A from the revaluation of the Company's stock based compensation due to relative higher share prices. Consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost was lower than $3.07 in the same period in 2024 due to the same reasons outlined above as well as lower accretion and amortization of community agreements, partially offset with higher corporate G&A costs.

As at June 30, 2025, total liquidity was $1,050.2 million, including $625.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and undrawn availability of $424.7 million under Hudbay's revolving credit facilities. Net debt1 at the end of the second quarter was $434.1 million, marking a $92.0 million improvement from the first quarter of 2025 as a result of deleverging activities. Hudbay expects that the current liquidity together with cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs for the year.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Continued Free Cash Flow Generation from Strong Copper and Gold Exposure

Hudbay has delivered eight consecutive quarters of meaningful free cash flow1 generation as a result of steady operating performance, expanding margins from strong copper and gold exposure and a focus on cost control across the business:

 Achieved record trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA1 of $995.9 million.

 Delivered more than $400 million in annual free cash flow1 generation over the last twelve months.

 Increased cash and cash equivalents balance to $625.5 million, the highest level achieved in more than a decade.

 Gold continues to represent more than 36% of total revenues, which together with Hudbay's primary copper revenue business provides unique copper and gold commodity diversification.

Significant Debt Reduction

As a result of the continued free cash flow1 generation and prudent balance sheet management, Hudbay was able to repurchase and retire $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a discount to par, during the second quarter of 2025. This has contributed to approximately $295 million in total debt repayments and gold prepayment liability reductions since the beginning of 2024:

 Repurchased and retired a total of $132.6 million of senior unsecured notes in 2024 and year-to-date 2025.

 Repaid $100 million of prior drawdowns under the revolving credit facilities in 2024.

 Fully repaid the gold prepay facility with $62.3 million in gold deliveries in 2024 and the final payment completed in August 2024.

These deleveraging achievements have reduced total principal debt to $1.07 billion as of June 30, 2025, which together with Hudbay's increased cash balance, has substantially reduced net debt1 to $434.1 million, compared to $631.8 million as of June 30, 2024. Incorporating higher levels of adjusted EBITDA1 over the last twelve months, Hudbay's net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio1 has significantly improved to 0.4x.

Secured Premier Long-term Strategic Partner in Copper World JV Transaction

The joint venture will be structured as a new limited liability corporation, Copper World LLC. Under the JV Transaction, the initial contribution of $600 million for a 30% equity interest in Copper World LLC, will consist of $420 million upon closing and a $180 million matching contribution payable no later than 18 months following closing. Hudbay will retain 100% of its existing U.S. federal net operating losses of approximately $275 million and Arizona state losses of $210 million.

Hudbay welcomes a premier, long-term, strategic partner with deep technical expertise and a proven trading platform which Mitsubishi has established throughout its demonstrated history of industry partnerships. Mitsubishi's impressive track record in co-developing and operating some of the world's largest and highest quality copper projects will complement Hudbay's proven track record as a successful mine builder and operator.

Mitsubishi will be contributing 30% of the ongoing costs beginning August 31, 2025 and will participate in the funding of the DFS as well as the final project design, project financing, and project construction for Copper World.

The JV Transaction is expected to close in late 2025 or early 2026 and is conditioned upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Enhanced Wheaton Precious Metals Stream

Hudbay is also pleased to announce that it has concurrently executed a non-binding term sheet to amend its existing Wheaton stream agreement for 100% of the gold and silver produced at Copper World (the "Wheaton Stream"), which will increase the value of the project and provide upside exposure to higher precious metal prices.

Key terms of this enhanced Wheaton Stream to include (subject to execution of definitive documentation):

 Up to $70 million contingent payment upon achieving potential mill expansion milestones in the future recognizing the long-term potential at Copper World.

 Amended ongoing payments for gold and silver from a fixed price to 15% of spot gold and silver prices providing upside exposure to higher precious metals prices.

 Initial $230 million stream deposit during project construction remains unchanged.

 Hudbay agreed to maintain existing fixed recoveries in the existing Constancia precious metals stream while Pampacancha is in production as well as provided a corporate guarantee for the existing Constancia stream in connection with the Wheaton Stream enhancement.


"Successfully Completed "3-P" Plan for Advancing Copper World Towards a Sanction Decision in 2026

As part of Hudbay's disciplined financial planning approach to developing Copper World, the Company implemented its 3-P plan in late 2022, including specific leverage targets that it would need to achieve prior to making an investment decision in the project:

1. Permits - Completed - Hudbay received all required state level permits.

2. Plan - Well Underway - Hudbay commenced activities related to the feasibility study for Copper World in late 2024 and expects to continue to advance definitive feasibility study activities throughout 2025 with completion by mid-2026.

3. Prudent Financing Strategy - Completed - Hudbay achieved all key elements of its multi-faceted financing strategy, including:

 Minimum cash balance of $600 million - As of June 30, 2025, Hudbay has over $625 million in cash and cash equivalents;

 Net debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1.2x - As of June 30, 2025, Hudbay's net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio1 is 0.4x, meaningfully below the targeted ratio to ensure financial flexibility during the sanctioning and construction of Copper World;

 Renegotiated precious metals stream agreement - Announced an enhanced Wheaton Stream that aligns with the current development plan for Copper World, reflects amended ongoing payments for gold and silver deliveries from a fixed pricing to 15% of spot prices to provide upside exposure to higher precious metals prices, while also providing additional contingent payments of up to $70 million related to potential future mill expansion milestones; and,

 Minority joint venture partner - Announced a $600 million transaction with Mitsubishi for a 30% minority joint venture interest in a highly accretive transaction, which creates a long-term partnership with a premier strategic partner that has a global mining presence and an established U.S. based metals trading business.

As a result of the completion of the prudent financing strategy, Hudbay's estimated share of the remaining capital contributions for the construction of Copper World is approximately $200 million2, and Hudbay's first capital contribution is deferred until 2028 at the earliest based on PFS estimates. Based on Hudbay's pro-forma cash and cash equivalents of more than $1.0 billion and total liquidity of more than $1.5 billion, using figures as at June 30, 2025, the Company has significant financial flexibility to fund its share of the remaining equity contributions at Copper World while continuing to maintain a strong balance sheet throughout the project construction period.

Manitoba Temporary Wildfire Evacuation Orders

Since the end of May, seasonal wildfires in northern Manitoba have resulted in evacuation orders in the regions where Hudbay operates. Emergency preparedness protocols were immediately activated and Hudbay has continued to work closely with local and provincial authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and nearby communities. The first mandatory wildfire evacuation orders resulted in Hudbay temporarily suspending operations in June for 13 days and operating with a reduced workforce since the end of May, before and after the operation suspension. The Company committed over C$2 million in funding support in June, including C$1.6 million in direct financial support for evacuated Hudbay employees and a C$500,000 donation to the Canadian Red Cross to support wildfire emergency relief and rebuilding efforts in northern Manitoba. The Company's Canadian Red Cross donation was part of a collective C$1.25 million donation that was made by the three leading mining companies that operate in Manitoba, including Hudbay, Vale Base Metals and Alamos Gold Inc. In addition, Hudbay established a Community Relief Donations Fund whereby Hudbay doubled the amounts donated by its employees to the Canadian Red Cross, further multiplying the support for emergency response efforts in the region.

Hudbay's Manitoba team continues to show remarkable resilience as demonstrated by the tremendous effort and unwavering commitment during this unprecedented wildfire season. They have tirelessly safeguarded the Company's assets and collaborated closely with local communities and provincial authorities, providing essential support to emergency response efforts.

On July 10, 2025, a second mandatory wildfire evacuation order was issued for the town of Snow Lake and a controlled, safe and orderly temporary suspension of the Snow Lake operations was implemented. As of August 12, 2025, the wildfire situation near Snow Lake has improved and Hudbay anticipates returning to normal operations later in August. The Company continues to expect to achieve its 2025 annual guidance metrics for all metals in Manitoba, despite the temporary wildfire impacts.


British Columbia Mill Optimization Project Achieves Key Milestone

In July, shortly following the end of the second quarter, Hudbay reached a significant milestone on the Copper Mountain mill optimization project to convert the third ball mill to a second SAG mill. The mill project is intended to increase nominal processing capacity to its permitted capacity of 50,000 tonnes per day starting in 2026.

The initial phase of the project achieved first ore production on July 10, a key milestone to ramp up mill capacity. The first phase was completed on time with more than 41,000 hours worked and zero lost-time incidents, which is a testament to the dedication and safety culture of Hudbay's team. The project remains on budget as it moves into the final phase of the project, which includes converting an interim feed arrangement to a permanent configuration and remains on track for completion in the second half of 2025.

New Ingerbelle Permit Application Achieves Key Milestone

On May 12, 2025, Hudbay's permitting application for the New Ingerbelle growth project at Copper Mountain was successfully accepted into review by the B.C. Major Mines Office and is now proceeding through a Mine Review Committee process. The Copper Mountain team continues ongoing engagement with First Nations and other local stakeholder groups as part of the Company's commitment to cultivating transparency and mutually beneficial relationships.

Exploration Update

Large Snow Lake Exploration Program Continues to Execute Threefold Strategy

Hudbay continues to execute the largest exploration program in Snow Lake in the Company's history through extensive geophysical surveying and multi-phased drilling campaigns as part of Hudbay's threefold exploration strategy:

 Near-mine exploration at Lalor and 1901 further increase near-term production and extend mine life - Following the positive initial step-out drilling from the exploration drift at the 1901 deposit earlier this year, Hudbay completed the development of the drift in the second quarter of 2025, and in June, the first zinc-rich ore from the 1901 mining area was delivered for processing at Stall. Activities at 1901 over the next two years will prioritize exploration, definition drilling, orebody access, and establishing critical infrastructure for full production in 2027. The additional exploration at 1901 planned for later in 2025 will target additional step-out drill holes to potentially extend the ore body and infill drilling to convert inferred mineral resources in the gold lenses to mineral reserves. The Company also expects to continue drilling down plunge of lenses 27 and 17 at Lalor once wildfire conditions improve.

 Testing regional satellite deposits to utilize available processing capacity and increase production - Hudbay increased its regional land package by more than 250% in 2023 through the acquisition of Rockcliff Metals Corp., which included the addition of several known deposits located within trucking distance of the Snow Lake processing infrastructure. The deposits acquired as part of the Rockcliff Metals Corp. acquisition, together with several deposits already owned by Hudbay in Snow Lake, have created an attractive portfolio of regional deposits in Snow Lake, including the Talbot, Rail, Pen II, Watts, 3 Zone and WIM deposits. The continued strong performance from the New Britannia mill has freed up processing capacity at the Stall mill, where there is approximately 1,500 tonnes per day of available capacity which could be utilized by the regional satellite deposits to increase production and extend the life of the Snow Lake operations beyond 2037. Hudbay commenced an extensive summer drill program at the Talbot deposit in July focused on expanding the known mineralization and testing geophysical targets.

 Exploring large land package for new anchor deposit to significantly extend mine life - A majority of the land claims acquired as part of the Rockcliff Metals Corp. acquisition have been untested by modern deep geophysics, which was the discovery method for the Lalor deposit. A large geophysics program is currently underway consisting of surface electromagnetic surveys using cutting edge techniques that enable the team to detect targets at depths of almost 1,000 metres below surface. The planned geophysics program in 2025 is the largest geophysics program in Hudbay's history and includes 800 kilometres of ground electromagnetic surveys and an extensive airborne geophysics survey. The summer geophysics program is currently paused due to the regional wildfires and is expected to resume once the conditions improve and the evacuation orders are lifted.

Maria Reyna and Caballito Drill Permits Update

Hudbay controls a large, contiguous block of mineral rights with the potential to host satellite mineral deposits in close proximity to the Constancia processing facility, including the past producing Caballito property and the highly prospective Maria Reyna property. The Company commenced the drill permitting process at Maria Reyna and Caballito after completing a surface rights exploration agreement with the community of Uchucarcco in August 2022. As part of the drill permitting process, environmental impact assessment (EIA) applications were approved by the government in June 2024 for Maria Reyna and September 2024 for Caballito. The remaining steps in the drill permitting process include the completion by the government of the Consulta Previa consultation process with the local community.


Senior Management Team Appointments

In May 2025, Hudbay promoted Robert Carter to Senior Vice President, Canada and John O'Shaughnessy to Vice President, Manitoba Business Unit.

In his new role, Mr. Carter is responsible for the strategic oversight of Hudbay's business activities in Manitoba and British Columbia. Mr. Carter previously held the role of Vice President, Manitoba Business Unit since April 2022 and prior to that was the General Manager of Hudbay's Manitoba mines since 2018. He has over 25 years of mining industry experience in technical, operational and senior leadership roles, with a majority of those years at Hudbay.

As the new leader of the Manitoba Business Unit, Mr. O'Shaughnessy is responsible for the strategic and operational performance of Hudbay's activities in Manitoba. He previously held the role of Vice President, Business Development at Hudbay where he provided expert oversight and strategic leadership of the global mine planning process. He has over 25 years of mining industry experience, including numerous progressive engineering, operational and leadership roles at Vale's mining operations in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Dividend Declared

A semi-annual dividend of C$0.01 per share was declared on August 12, 2025. The dividend will be paid out on September 19, 2025 to shareholders of record as of close of business on September 2, 2025.

Overview

The Peru operations continued to demonstrate steady operating performance with production and costs in line with expectations. Copper production increased in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher copper grade in ore mined from Constancia and higher copper recoveries. Copper production was also higher than the first quarter of 2025 as milled copper grades exceeded first quarter levels, partially offset by planned lower mill throughput due to a scheduled mill maintenance shutdown in the second quarter.

The last major stripping program at Pampacancha was completed in the second quarter of 2025, which included higher amounts of waste stripping than planned. As a result, the Company replaced higher grade Pampacancha ore with higher grade Constancia ore in the second quarter and the Pampacancha deposit is now expected to be depleted in the first quarter of 2026 rather than in late 2025. Protests that started early in the third quarter temporarily impacted the transportation of supplies and concentrate to and from the Constancia site and has affected mine sequencing. The Constancia mill has continued to operate during this period, and the road blockades along the concentrate transportation route have since reopened, allowing Hudbay to reduce site concentrate inventory levels and replenish supplies. Despite short-term mine plan changes the Company remains on track to achieve its 2025 production guidance for all metals in Peru.

Mining Activities

Total ore mined in Peru in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 14% compared to the same period in 2024, in line with mine plan expectations.

Year-to-date ore mined in Peru was 46% higher than the same period in 2024 but in line with mine plan expectations.


Milling Activities

Mill throughput levels averaged approximately 83,100 tonnes per day in the second quarter of 2025, lower than the first quarter of 2025 due to the planned semi-annual mill maintenance shutdown during the current quarter, but fairly in line with the same period in 2024. Milled copper grades increased by 13% compared to the comparative periods, primarily due to higher grades in the Constancia pit. Milled gold grades in the second quarter of 2025 were lower than the same period in 2024 due to lower ore feed from Pampacancha, but remained consistent with gold grades in the first quarter of 2025 as Pampacancha stripping activities were underway in both quarters. The mill achieved higher copper recoveries of 85% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and remained consistent with the first quarter of 2025. Recoveries of gold and silver during the second quarter of 2025 were in line with Hudbay's metallurgical models for the ore that was being processed.

Ore milled during the first half of 2025 was relatively unchanged from the comparative 2024 period. Milled copper grades in the first half of 2025 were consistent with the same period in 2024, while milled gold grades decreased by 55% as a result of less ore feed from Pampacancha. Recoveries of copper during the first half of 2025 were 85%, representing an increase of 1%, compared with the 2024 period, despite being impacted by supplemental ore feed from stockpiles during pit stripping activities early in the year. Gold and silver recoveries during the first half of 2025 were 56% and 65%, respectively, representing a decrease of 19% and 4%, respectively, but were in line with Hudbay's metallurgical models.

Production and Sales Performance

The Peru operations produced 21,710 tonnes of copper, 7,366 ounces of gold, 551,979 ounces of silver and 375 tonnes of molybdenum during the second quarter of 2025, in line with mine plan quarterly cadence expectations. Production of copper was higher than the comparative periods primarily due to higher grades from the Constancia pit. Production of all other metals were relatively in line with the first quarter of 2025 and higher than the same period in 2024, with the exception of gold production which was lower than the same period in 2024 due to a lower portion of Pampacancha ore feed.

Year-to-date production of copper and gold in 2025 was 42,003 tonnes and 15,235 ounces, respectively, representing a decrease of 4% and 62%, respectively, from the comparative 2024 period primarily due to lower grades since more material was mined from Constancia and reclaimed from the stockpile during 2025 compared with the prior year.

Quantities of metal sold during the three and six months ended 2025 were in line with the variances in production previously outlined.

       

*Copper equivalent production is calculated using the quarter average LME prices for each metal excluding molybdenum.


         

     

Cost Performance

Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating cost in the second quarter of 2025 was $13.59 per tonne, 7% higher than the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher plant maintenance costs associated with the planned semi-annual mill maintenance shutdown, partially offset by the impacts of higher stripping. Combined unit operating cost was 23% higher than the first quarter of 2025, as expected, due to higher plant maintenance costs and lower tonnes processed associated with the planned semi-annual mill maintenance shutdown. Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $12.29 per tonne, a 4% increase compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher plant maintenance costs as mentioned above.

Cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter of 2025 was $1.45, a 19% decrease compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of lower treatment and refining charges and higher copper production. Cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, increased by 31% compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to planned higher maintenance costs and lower by-product credits, partially offset by lower treatment and refining charges and higher copper production. 

Year-to-date 2025 cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits2 was $1.29, an increase from $1.02 in the same period of 2024 due to lower gold by-product credits, partially offset by lower treatment and refining charges.

Sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits2, was $2.63 in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher plant and mine maintenance costs, higher community payments and finance leases, partially offset by the factors described above for the cash cost variance. Sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, increased by 37% compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to planned higher sustaining capital typically associated with the period after the rainy season is complete, as well as the same factors affecting cash costs. On a year-to-date basis, sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-products credits2, was $2.29, higher than the $1.71 for the comparable period in 2024 due to higher plant and mine maintenance costs, finance lease payments and community payments.

Overview

Despite significant disruptions from the mandatory wildfire evacuation orders in May and June of this year, the Manitoba operations showed remarkable resilience and achieved several key milestones in the second quarter of 2025. Notably, the New Britannia mill achieved record monthly production in April, the 1901 mining area delivered its first ore for processing in June, and Hudbay signed an exploration agreement with Mosakahiken Cree Nation to explore the Talbot deposit.

Hudbay's dedicated operations team demonstrated tremendous effort and unwavering commitment during the unprecedented wildfire situation near the Company's Flin Flon and Snow Lake operations during the second quarter. The team tirelessly safeguarded Hudbay's assets and collaborated closely with local communities and provincial authorities, providing essential support to emergency response efforts. These efforts resulted in no damage to Hudbay's infrastructure and facilities.

The Lalor mine managed through a period of reduced workforce prior to and after the 13-day temporary suspension of operations in June due to regional mandatory wildfire evacuation orders. Despite these challenges, the mine averaged 3,300 tonnes per day in the second quarter, strategically prioritizing mining from gold zones to ensure a consistent feed for the New Britannia mill.

Continuous improvement efforts at Lalor focused on ore quality and advancing stope modifications to enhance mucking productivity. Capital development continued, aiming to secure high-grade copper-gold mineralization from Zone 27 and prepare Zone 17 for the next copper-gold mining front.


The New Britannia mill achieved record monthly production levels in April, exceeding 2,300 tonnes per day. This significant milestone is a testament to ongoing low-capital projects and recent piping improvements that boosted throughput and maintained gold recoveries.

Exploration and haulage drifts advanced towards the 1901 deposit, where initial zinc-rich massive sulphides were mined and processed in June. The next two years at 1901 will prioritize exploration, definition drilling, orebody access, and establishing critical infrastructure for full production in 2027.

Mining Activities

Total ore mined in Manitoba in the second quarter of 2025 was lower than the comparable periods, reflecting the impacts from the wildfires. Gold grades were better than expected in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in a 33% increase from the second quarter of 2024, despite being lower than the exceptional gold grade mined in the first quarter of 2025. Copper, zinc and silver grades were in line with mine plan expectations. The second quarter of 2025 saw significant improvements in ore quality, aligned with improvements in mining techniques, most notably in longhole muck fragmentation, and anticipated higher grade precious metal sequences. 

Total ore mined at Hudbay's Manitoba operations during the first half of 2025 was 13% lower than the same period in 2024, as a result of the same quarterly factors noted above. Gold, copper, and silver grades mined at Lalor during the first half of 2025 were 22%, 4%, and 34% higher, respectively, compared with the same period in 2024. Zinc grades mined during the first half of 2025 were 14% lower than the same period in 2024.

Milling Activities

Consistent with Hudbay's strategy of allocating more Lalor ore feed to New Britannia to maximize gold recoveries, the New Britannia mill throughput averaged approximately 1,800 tonnes per day in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting record levels of more than 2,300 tonnes per day achieved in April, offset by lower throughput levels in June associated with the wildfire evacuation shutdown. Gold recovery in the second quarter of 2025 was 89% remaining relatively consistent with the same period in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

In the second quarter, the Stall mill continued to process less ore compared to prior periods, which is aligned with Hudbay's strategy of allocating more Lalor ore feed to New Britannia, as noted above. The Stall mill achieved gold recoveries of 68% in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting benefits from recent recovery improvement programs.

Production and Sales Performance

The Manitoba operations delivered strong results in the second quarter of 2025, producing 43,235 ounces of gold, 1,612 tonnes of copper, 5,130 tonnes of zinc and 197,970 ounces of silver. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, production of gold was relatively unchanged despite lower production in June associated with the wildfire evacuation shutdown as higher grades offset lower throughput. Production of copper, silver, and zinc decreased by 39%, 6% and 37%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to prioritizing the mining of gold grade areas during the wildfire evacuation shutdown in June to maximize gold ore feed to the New Britannia mill. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, production of gold, copper, silver and zinc in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 28%, 54%, 31% and 18%, respectively, for the same reason mentioned above, in addition to the first quarter of 2025 having significantly better than expected gold grades.

Year-to-date production of gold and silver in 2025 was higher by 3% and 12%, respectively, than the comparative 2024 period as a result of higher grades and higher New Britannia mill throughput despite throughput limitations in June. Copper and zinc production in the first half of 2025 decreased by 12% and 33%, respectively, aligned with forecasted production and the strategy to mine more gold ore at Lalor, resulting in less mill throughput at Stall as mentioned above.

Quantities of copper, gold and silver sold during the second quarter of 2025 were higher than production levels as unsold copper inventory at the end of March was sold during the second quarter. Zinc metal sold during the second quarter of 2025 was impacted by higher zinc concentrate inventory at the end of June which is expected to be sold during the third quarter of 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, quantities sold for all metals were relatively in line with variances in production, with the exception of zinc sales which were impacted by higher zinc concentrate inventory levels at the end of June 2025.


   

Cost Performance

The Manitoba operations continued to drive operating efficiencies despite temporary disruptions from wildfire evacuations orders in June.

Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs in the second quarter were C$241 per tonne, higher than the comparative periods primarily due to lower total throughput in June, partially offset by continued strong cost performance at New Britannia. Mining costs per tonne of ore milled during the second quarter of 2025 were relatively unchanged from the same period in 2024, as lower costs from efficiency improvement initiatives at Lalor over the past year have offset lower tonnes mined in June, while mining costs per tonne of ore milled were higher than in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of the wildfires in June. Milling costs per tonne of ore milled were higher than the comparative periods as a result of higher unit costs at Stall associated with lower throughput as mentioned above, offset by strong unit cost performance at New Britannia as a result of higher daily throughput levels.

Cash cost per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter of 2025 was $710, an 8% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement in performance is mostly the result of lower mining and milling costs from robust cost improvement measures undertaken and significantly lower treatment and refining charges. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, cash costs increased primarily due to lower gold production and lower by-product credits as per the production variances discussed above.

Sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter of 2025 was $1,025, a 12% decrease compared to the same period in 2024 and a 64% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the same factors affecting cash cost, partially offset by lower sustaining capital costs during the quarter.

Cash cost per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $515. These costs were 31% lower compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher gold production and lower mining and milling costs, together with lower treatment and refining charges, partially offset by higher G&A costs resulting from higher employee profit sharing costs. Sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $793 per ounce, a decrease of 24% from the same period in 2024 primarily due to the same factors affecting cash cost noted above, together with slightly lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the prior year.

On July 10, 2025, a second mandatory wildfire evacuation order was issued for the town of Snow Lake and a controlled, safe and orderly temporary suspension of the Snow Lake operations was implemented. Essential personnel, authorized by emergency services, have remained onsite when safe to do so in order to continue supporting fire mitigation activities and safeguarding Hudbay's assets. To-date, there has been no structural damage to Hudbay's onsite surface infrastructure and facilities. As of August 12, 2025, the wildfire situation near Snow Lake has improved and Hudbay anticipates returning to normal operations later in August. The Company continues to expect to achieve its 2025 annual guidance metrics for all metals in Manitoba, despite the impact from the wildfires. Similarly, with cash costs in the first half of the year outperforming the low end of the cash cost guidance range, Hudbay is well positioned to achieve the 2025 cash cost guidance range in Manitoba.

2 Copper Mountain mine results are stated at 100%. On April 30, 2025 Hudbay completed the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in the Copper Mountain mine and now owns 100%.


Overview

Hudbay continues its focus on advancing optimization plans at the Copper Mountain mine, including ramping up mining activities to optimize the mine ore feed to the plant and implementing site improvement initiatives that mirror Hudbay's successful processes at Constancia. These optimization initiatives have successfully increased the total tonnes moved and improved mill reliability.

Mining activities are focused on continuing to execute the three-year accelerated stripping program intended to bring higher grade ore into the mine plan. During the first half of 2025, Hudbay made significant progress on the key mill improvement project to ultimately increase the nominal plant capacity to its permitted level of 50,000 tonnes per day. The project entails the conversion of the third ball mill to a second SAG mill, and the initial phase of this project was successfully completed shortly following the end of the second quarter on time and on budget with the achievement of first ore production on July 10. The final phase of the project involves converting an interim feed arrangement to a permanent configuration and remains on target for completion in the second half of 2025.

Mining Activities

Total ore mined at Copper Mountain in the second quarter of 2025 was 2.5 million tonnes, an increase of 16% compared to the second quarter of 2024, as the mine continues to execute operational improvement initiatives. Planned ore stockpiles were utilized as ore feed to the mill while the mine operation team continued to increase waste stripping activities to expose additional ore mining fronts. Total ore mined decreased by 5% compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to unplanned production loading fleet activities, despite an increase in total material moved in the quarter as a result of effective usage of the mining fleet to execute the accelerated stripping program to access higher grade phases in the pit. The continued focus in the second quarter of 2025 was on mining efficiencies, including a significant improvement with blasted muck inventories and operator recruitment to effectively utilize the available haul truck fleet. As a result, total material moved is expected to increase quarter-over-quarter in 2025 as per the mine plan. 

Total ore mined at Copper Mountain during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 12% lower than the same period in 2024, for the same reason mentioned above. 

Milling Activities

The mill processed 2.9 million tonnes of ore during the second quarter of 2025, lower than the second quarter of 2024 but higher than the first quarter of 2025. Mill throughput in the second quarter of 2025 was limited by both planned and unplanned maintenance, elevated clay material which impacted the secondary crushing circuit, and the planned lowering of the main crushed live ore pile feeding the mill due to area constraints related to the completion of the ball mill to SAG conversion project. Several mill initiatives were implemented in 2025, including recovery improvements, crushing circuit chute modifications, installation of advanced semi-autogenous grinding control instrumentation, and redesigned SAG liner package. Progressive mill improvements and updated operational procedures are expected to continue through 2025.

Milled copper grades during the second quarter of 2025 were 12% higher than the second quarter of 2024 as the accelerated stripping efforts continue to unlock higher grades. Milled copper grades in the second quarter were lower than the first quarter due to higher amounts of ore processed from stockpile in the second quarter, as mentioned above, as well as the mining of a high-grade mining sequence during the first quarter of 2025. Copper recoveries were 81% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase from 78% in the first quarter of 2025 despite lower copper head grades. Milled gold grades were higher in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, resulting in higher gold recoveries of 68% in the second quarter of 2025. Gold recoveries were also higher than the first quarter of 2025, despite slightly lower gold head grades.

Milled copper grades during the first half of 2025 were higher than the same period in 2024 as accelerated stripping efforts unlocked a high-grade mining sequence. Year-to-date 2025 copper recoveries of 80% were lower than 2024 as a result of the composition of ore feed to the mill and the impacts of mill maintenance shutdowns. Operational strategy improvements, including reagent selection and dose modifications are in progress. Milled gold grades during the first half of 2025 were higher than the same period in 2024, resulting in higher gold recoveries of 66% in the first half of 2025.

Production and Sales Performance

The British Columbia operations produced 6,634 tonnes of copper, 5,670 ounces of gold and 65,040 ounces of silver during the second quarter of 2025. Production of copper and silver decreased, compared to prior periods primarily as a result of lower head grades from the use of stockpiled ore. Production of gold significantly increased compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to higher grades and recoveries. Production of gold was also higher than the first quarter of 2025, largely due to higher recoveries.

During the first half of 2025, production of copper, gold and silver was 13,830 tonnes, 11,231 ounces and 144,520 ounces, respectively. Year-to-date copper and gold production was higher than the same period in 2024 and silver production was lower as a result of the same quarterly variances mentioned above.


Quantities of copper, gold and silver sold during the second quarter of 2025 were higher than the first quarter of 2025 as the Company reduced copper concentrate inventory levels that were elevated at the end of March 2025. Year-to-date sales quantity changes compared to the same period in 2024 reflect the changes in production during the periods.

       

*Copper equivalent production is calculated using the quarter average LME prices for each metal. Copper Mountain mine production are stated at 100%. On April 30, 2025 Hudbay completed the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in the Copper Mountain mine and now owns 100%.


Cost Performance

Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs in the second quarter of 2025 were C$24.51 per tonne milled, higher than the second quarter of 2024, but lower than the first quarter of 2025. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to lower ore milled. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due to lower milling and G&A costs and higher ore milled, partially offset by higher mining costs.

Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were C$25.12 per tonne milled versus C$21.65 per tonne milled in the first half of 2024 primarily due to lower tonnes milled.

Cash cost and sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter of 2025 were $2.39 and $5.18, respectively. Cash costs were 11% and 2% lower than in the second quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, largely due to higher by-product credits. Sustaining cash costs were 7% lower than the second quarter of 2024 mainly as a result of improvements to cash costs, partially offset by higher capital including planned higher capitalized stripping costs in accordance with Hudbay's accelerated stripping program to access higher grade ore. Sustaining cash costs were 22% higher than the first quarter of 2025 due to higher sustaining capital including higher capitalized stripping costs.

Cash cost and sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $2.41 and $4.69, respectively. Variances with the same period last year were for largely the same factors affecting the quarterly variances.

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $536.4 million, $110.9 million higher than the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher sales volume of copper, gold and silver, and strong copper and gold realized price in the second quarter of 2025.

Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,131.3 million, $180.8 million higher than in 2024, primarily as a result of higher metal prices and higher copper and silver sales volumes.

While a majority of revenues continue to be from copper, gold represented a significant portion of total revenues at 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This is as a result of exposure to higher gold prices compared to the second quarter of 2024, increasing commodity diversification and improving overall revenues.

Realized sales prices

This measure is intended to enable management and investors to understand the average realized price of metals sold to third parties in each reporting period. The average realized price per unit sold does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

For sales of copper, zinc, gold and silver Hudbay may enter into non-hedge derivatives ("QP hedges") which are intended to manage the provisional pricing risk arising from quotational period terms in concentrate sales agreements. The gains and losses on QP hedges are included in the calculation of realized prices. Hudbay expects that gains and losses on QP hedges will offset provisional pricing adjustments on concentrate sales contracts.

Hudbay's realized prices for the three months and three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are summarized below:

1 Realized prices exclude refining and treatment charges and are on the sale of finished metal or metal in concentrate. Realized prices include the effect of provisional pricing adjustments on prior period sales.
2 London Metal Exchange average for Cash copper and zinc prices.
3 Sales of gold and silver from Constancia mine are subject to Hudbay's precious metals stream agreement with Wheaton, pursuant to which Hudbay recognizes deferred revenue for precious metals deliveries and also receive cash payments. Stream sales are included within realized prices and their respective deferred revenue and cash payment rates can be found on page 35 of this MD&A.

In addition to QP hedges, the Company may periodically undertake metal price hedging in accordance with Board approved policies to achieve strategic objectives, including locking in favourable metal prices to ensure minimum cash flows during or after the construction of a mine or during a period of reduced liquidity, to manage cash flows at shorter life or higher cost operations or as part of a financing arrangement. The realized prices, denoted in the table above, excludes the impact of derivative mark-to-market gains and losses on these non-QP hedges, which are included in change in fair value of financial instruments in Hudbay's condensed consolidated interim statements of income.

As of June 30, 2025, Hudbay had no non-QP hedges outstanding.

Total cost of sales for the second quarter of 2025 was $359.9 million, reflecting an increase of $12.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Peru cost of sales increased by $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same period of 2024 mainly due to higher milling costs in line with higher production, G&A and change in product inventory. Manitoba cost of sales increased by $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to change in product inventory, higher G&A and direct charges to cost of sales related to overhead costs during the temporary suspension of operations in Manitoba in June related to the wildfire evacuation orders. These increases have been offset with a decrease in mining and milling costs due to decreased production during the shutdown. British Columbia cost of sales increased by $2.4 million primarily driven by higher mining, depreciation and inventory adjustments, partially offset by changes in product inventory.


Total cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $723.5 million, reflecting an increase of $2.6 million from the same period in 2024 in part due to $4.3 million of incremental operating costs from British Columbia. In addition, Peru cost of sales increased by $5.0 million as a result of an increase in milling and G&A costs offset by decrease in depreciation and amortization. Manitoba cost of sales decreased by $6.7 million as a result of a decrease in mining and milling costs due to decreased production, offset by changes in product inventory and higher G&A costs.

For details on unit operating costs, refer to the respective tables in the "Operations Review" section of this MD&A.

For the second quarter of 2025, other significant variances in expenses, compared to the same period in 2024, include the following:

- Net finance expenses decreased by $44.3 million, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange loss of $20.9 million, decrease in losses of $11.8 million from non-QP hedges, a decrease in mark-to-market loss of $3.6 million from investments, a decrease of $2.9 million from interest expense on long-term debt benefiting from the retirement of some senior notes, an increase of $2.0 million from interest income and a $1.9 million decrease in the relative revaluation loss of the gold prepayment liability.

- Other expenses decreased by $4.1 million, primarily due to a decrease of $2.0 million in the amortization of community costs, decrease of $1.7 million in the write-off of previously capitalized PP&E costs, an increase of $1.0 million from Marubeni option agreement proceeds, an increase of $0.9 million in the amortization of obligation related to flow through share deferred liability and a decrease of $0.8 million in care and maintenance related to the Flin Flon assets. These were partially offset by $2.1 million in costs related to the Manitoba wildfire emergency response efforts during the second quarter.

- Re-evaluation adjustment - environmental gain increased by $11.1 million compared to the same period of 2024 due to the relative revaluation of the environmental reclamation provision on Hudbay's Manitoba non-producing sites from changes in long term risk-free discount rates and inflation rates.

Given the long term nature of the reclamation cash flows, the related environmental reclamation provision is highly sensitive to changes in inflation rates and long-term risk-free discount rates and, as such, Hudbay may continue to experience significant quarterly environmental reclamation provision revaluations. 

For the year-to-date 2025, other significant variances in expenses, compared to the same period in 2024, included the following:

- Net finance expenses decreased by $73.9 million due to a $28.8 million decrease in net foreign exchange loss, decrease in losses of $12.1 million from non-QP hedges, a decrease in mark-to-market loss of $12.0 million from investments, a $6.2 million decrease in interest expense on long-term debt, a decrease in the relative revaluation loss of the gold prepayment liability of $5.4 million, and an increase of $5.1 million in interest income.

- Other expenses decreased by $15.2 million, primarily due to a decrease of $10.2 million in write-off of previously capitalized PP&E costs, a decrease of $3.2 million in the amortization of community costs, an increase of $2.1 million from Marubeni option agreement proceeds, an increase of $2.1 million in the amortization of obligation related to flow through share deferred liability, a decrease of $1.1 million in restructuring and a decrease of $0.5 million in care and maintenance. These were partially offset by $2.1 million in costs related to the Manitoba wildfire emergency response efforts during the second quarter of 2025 and an increase of $0.8 million in evaluation costs.

- Exploration expenses increased by $4.7 million, primarily due to Hudbay's planned Snow Lake exploration program consisting of modern geophysical programs and multi-phased drilling campaigns, much of which was funded by flow-through financing.

- Re-evaluation adjustment - environmental provision gain decreased by $7.0 million due to the same reasons as outlined above in the quarterly variance analysis.


Tax Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, tax expense increased by $17.7 million and $40.5 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024. The following table provides further details:

(in $ millions)   Three months ended     Six months ended  
  Jun. 30, 2025     Jun. 30, 2024     Jun. 30, 2025     Jun. 30, 2024

Income Tax Expense/Recovery

Applying the estimated Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7% to Hudbay's net earnings before taxes of $324.4 million for the year-to-date of 2025 would have resulted in a tax expense of approximately $86.6 million; however, Hudbay recorded an income tax expense of $75.7 million. The primary items causing Hudbay's effective income tax rate to be different than the 26.7% estimated Canadian statutory income tax rate are the following:

- Foreign exchange on the translation of deferred tax balances to group currency, resulting in a deferred tax recovery of $17.9 million

- The tax expense with respect to Hudbay's foreign operations is recorded using an income tax rate other than the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%, resulting in a tax expense of $20.6 million.

- Current mining tax deductions resulted in a tax recovery of $11.1 million.

Mining Tax Expense

For the year-to-date of 2025, Hudbay recorded a mining tax expense of $34.8 million. Effective mining tax rates can vary significantly based on the composition of Hudbay's earnings and the expected amount of mining taxable profits. Corporate costs and other costs not related to mining operations are not deductible in computing mining profits. A brief description of how mining taxes are calculated in Hudbay's various business units is discussed below.

Manitoba

The Province of Manitoba imposes mining tax on earnings related to the sale of mineral products mined in the Province of Manitoba (mining taxable profit) at the following rates:

- 10% of total mining taxable earnings if mining profit is C$50 million or less;

- Between mining earnings of C$50 and $C55 million, mining tax is equal to a minimum of C$5 million plus mining earnings less C$50 million multiplied by 65%;

- 15% of total mining taxable earnings if mining profits are between C$55 million and C$100 million;

- Between mining earnings of C$100 million and C$105 million, mining tax is equal to a minimum of C$15 million plus mining earnings less C$100 million multiplied by 57%; and

- 17% of total mining taxable earnings if mining profits exceed C$105 million.

Hudbay estimates that the deferred tax rate that will be applicable when temporary differences reverse will be approximately 10.0%.

Peru

The Peruvian government imposes two parallel mining tax regimes, the Special Mining Tax and the Modified Royalty, on companies' operating mining income on a sliding scale, with progressive rates ranging from 2.0% to 8.4% and 1.0% to 12.0%, respectively. Based on financial forecasts, Hudbay has recorded a deferred tax liability as at June 30, 2025, at the tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences reverse.


British Columbia

The Province of British Columbia imposes a 13% net revenue tax on the sale of mineral products mined in the province of British Columbia after the mine owner has recovered the capital invested in the mine and its "Cumulative Expenditure Account" ("CEA") no longer has a balance. The tax is paid on the profit in excess of the capital that has been invested in the mine. British Columbia mineral tax is deductible for federal and provincial income tax purposes.

While there is a balance in the CEA account, the mine owner must pay a "Net Current Proceeds" ("NCP") tax of 2%. Any amounts paid as NCP can then be claimed in the future against net revenue taxes payable.

Hudbay estimates that the effective tax rate that will be applicable when temporary differences reverse will be approximately 9.49%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at June 30, 2025, Hudbay's total liquidity of $1,050.2 million includes $625.5 million in cash as well as undrawn total availability of $424.7 million under Hudbay's revolving credit facilities.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As at June 30, 2025, Hudbay had $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes and $542.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company made open market purchases of $50 million of Hudbay's 4.5% senior notes due April 2026 ("2026 Notes"), at a discount to par. As at June 30, 2025, Hudbay has presented all of the 2026 Notes as a current liability amounting to $523.8 million, which affected working capital in the quarter.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facilities

Hudbay has two senior secured revolving credit facilities with total commitments of $450 million ("the Credit Facilities") for its Canadian and Peruvian businesses on substantially similar terms and conditions. These facilities include an accordion feature that allows Hudbay the option to increase the facility by an additional $150 million at Hudbay's discretion over the four-year term.

As at June 30, 2025, there were no cash drawings under the Credit Facilities and $25.3 million in letters of credit secured under the Canadian Facility.

As at June 30, 2025, Hudbay was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Facilities.

C$130 Million Bilateral Letter of Credit Facility

Hudbay has a C$130.0 million bilateral letter of credit facility ("LC Facility") with a major Canadian financial institution. The LC Facility has no financial covenants and enables Hudbay to issue up to C$130.0 million of letters of credit to beneficiaries on an unsecured basis at attractive rates, including C$30.0 million sub-limit for financial letters of credit. As at June 30, 2025, the Manitoba business unit had drawn $56.7 million in letters of credit under the LC Facility.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

As at June 30, 2025, the Arizona business unit had $18.4 million in surety bonds issued to support future reclamation and closure obligations and the Peru business unit had $135.0 million in letters of credit and surety bonds issued with various Peruvian financial institutions to support future reclamation and other operating matters. In addition, the British Columbia business unit had $48.1 million in surety bonds issued to support future reclamation and $1.0 million in surety bonds issued to support the hydro used at Copper Mountain mine, and to Fisheries and Oceans Canada for fish monitoring. No cash collateral is required to be posted under these surety bonds.

Working Capital

Working capital decreased by $484.5 million to $26.8 million from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in current portion of long-term debt of $523.8 million as the 2026 Notes are now maturing within one year, a decrease in short-term investment of $40.0 million from the release of guaranteed investment certificates, a decrease in inventories of $33.2 million primarily from decreasing finished goods inventory levels, an increase in other liabilities of $10.1 million, a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $6.7 million and an increase in lease liabilities of $5.1 million. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $83.7 million, a decrease in taxes payable of $63.0 million, a decrease in trade and other payables of $10.3 million and, a decrease in deferred revenue of $5.1 million.


Cash Flows

The following table summarizes Hudbay's cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

(in $ millions)   Three months ended     Six months ended  
  Jun. 30, 2025     Mar. 31, 2025     Jun. 30, 2024     Jun. 30, 2025     Jun. 30, 2024  
Operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital   193.9     163.5     123.7     357.4     271.2  
Change in non-cash working capital   66.0     (38.7 )   16.5     27.3     8.6  
Cash generated from operating activities   259.9     124.8     140.2     384.7     279.8  
Cash used in investing activities   (100.6 )   (84.3 )   (129.2 )   (184.9 )   (188.1 )
Cash (used in) generated from financing activities   (98.9 )   (20.8 )   189.8     (119.7 )   142.2  
Effect of movement in exchange rates on cash   2.5     1.1     (1.4 )   3.6     0.1  
Net increase in cash   62.9     20.8     199.4     83.7     234.0  

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital was $193.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of $70.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Cash generated from operating activities was $259.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $119.7 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in operating cash flows before change in working capital compared with the second quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of higher sales volume for majority of the metals, and stronger realized gold prices partially offset by higher cash taxes paid which are a function of higher profits in earlier quarters in Peru and Manitoba that were subsequently payable.

Year-to-date cash generated from operating activities was $384.7 million in 2025, an increase of $104.9 million compared to the same period in 2024. Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital for the first half of 2025 was $357.4 million, an increase of $86.2 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in operating cash flow before changes in working capital was primarily the result of higher metal prices for all metals and higher copper sales volumes. This was partially offset by lower gold sales volumes and by a significant increase in cash taxes paid of $76.0 million mainly at Hudbay's Manitoba and Peru operations, compared to the same period in 2024.

Cash Flow from Investing and Financing Activities

During the second quarter of 2025, Hudbay spent $199.5 million in investing and financing activities, primarily driven by $121.7 million in capital expenditures, $50.0 million toward the repurchase of senior unsecured notes, $29.9 million in interest paid on Hudbay's long-term debt, $13.9 million in capitalized lease and equipment financing payments, $6.0 million in the Copper Mountain non-controlling interest acquisition payment including associated transaction costs and $5.2 million in community agreement payments. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows of $20.0 million from the release of the guaranteed investment certificates, $6.5 million of investment income received and $4.2 million of proceeds from equity issuance, net of share issuance costs.

Year-to-date, Hudbay spent $304.6 million in investing and financing activities, primarily driven by $213.1 million in capital expenditures, $50.0 million of Hudbay's senior unsecured notes repurchased, $29.9 million in interest paid on Hudbay's long-term debt, $27.3 million in capitalized lease and equipment financing payments, $13.8 million in purchase of investments, $9.0 million in community agreement payments, $6.1 million in financing costs paid and $6.0 million in the Copper Mountain non-controlling interest acquisition payment and related transaction costs. This was offset by cash inflows of $40.0 million from the release of the guaranteed investment certificates, $12.5 million of investment income received and $4.2 million of proceeds from equity issuance, net of share issuance costs.

1 Peru and British Columbia sustaining capital expenditures include capitalized stripping costs.
2 Other capitalized costs primarily include right-of-use lease and equipment financing additions, which are excluded from guidance in 2025, community agreement additions and non-cash capitalized stripping
3 Includes 100% of Copper Mountain mine production. On April 30, 2025 Hudbay completed the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in the Copper Mountain mine and now owns 100%.
4 With the announcement of the JV Transaction Hudbay expects to accelerate detailed engineering, long lead items and other de-risking activities by advancing $20 million in growth capital expenditures to 2025 from future years, updating total 2025 Arizona growth spending guidance to $110 million compared to the original 2025 guidance of $90 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total capital additions increased by $28.8 million and $60.1 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in Peru sustaining capital expenditures, British Columbia growth capitalized expenditures, Arizona capitalized costs and non-cash capitalized stripping. These capital increases were planned as sustaining capital typically increases in the second quarter in Peru after the rainy season is complete, and growth capital was expected to increase as Hudbay continues to execute its growth plans in British Columbia and Arizona. This was partially offset by reduced sustaining capital expenditures in Manitoba and British Columbia and a decrease in lease and equipment financing additions.

Sustaining capital expenditures in Peru for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $44.4 million and $72.9 million, respectively, representing an increase of $14.9 million and $18.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024 as a result of the timing of various stripping campaigns and civil work projects. Sustaining capital expenditures in Manitoba for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $11.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024 mostly due to lower capital development at Lalor.  Sustaining capital expenditures in British Columbia for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $32.9 million and $54.4 million, respectively, which included $24.3 million and $38.9 million, respectively, of capitalized stripping related to Hudbay's planned three-year accelerated stripping campaign to access higher grade ore.


Growth capital expenditures in Peru for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, representing an increase of $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The increase mainly relates to the implementation of the pebble crusher in Peru. Growth capital spending in Manitoba for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, primarily related to the exploration and haulage drifts advancement towards the 1901 deposit. Arizona's capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $13.7 million and $25.1 million, respectively, mainly related to feasibility study activities and ongoing carrying costs for Copper World. Growth capital expenditures in British Columbia for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $16.5 million and $27.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of $15.8 million and an increase of $26.5 million, respectively compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase mainly relates to the Copper Mountain mill optimization project to convert Ball Mill 3 to a second SAG Mill, which is intended to increase nominal capacity at Copper Mountain.

Capitalized exploration for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Capital Commitments

As at June 30, 2025, Hudbay had outstanding capital commitments in Canada of approximately $28.9 million, of which $10.4 million can be terminated, approximately $33.7 million in Peru primarily related to sustaining capital commitments and exploration option agreements, all of which can be terminated, and approximately $74.3 million in Arizona, primarily related to Hudbay's Copper World project, of which $72.1 million can be terminated.

2 Annual consolidated results may not calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.

On a quarterly basis, the Company's revenue is primarily impacted by metal prices, production mix and sales volumes of the key metals Hudbay produces. In addition to these factors, gross profit, net earnings (loss) attributable, earnings (loss) per share attributable, operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital and adjusted EBITDA are also impacted by input costs. Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share are further impacted by net finance expense and re-evaluation adjustments of Hudbay's closed site environmental provision.

During the second quarter of 2025, copper equivalent production decreased to 53,693 tonnes because of reduced copper, gold and silver output. This was primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations in Manitoba in June related to the wildfire evacuation order. This was partially offset by record average gold prices and high copper prices which positively impacted gross profits and contributing to increased net income and higher earnings per share in the second quarter of 2025. While higher profitability led to significant cash taxes paid of $43.9 million, the business's strong operating performance caused the overall impact to operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital to remain positive. Higher foreign exchange gains due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar along with declining net interest cost as a result of Hudbay's deleveraging efforts led to reduced net finance expenses in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA over the last twelve months hit a record high of $995.9 million as a result of strong operating performances at the Manitoba and Peru operations resulting in higher sales volumes, benefiting from high copper and gold prices. Net debt to EBITDA is now at its lowest level since the development of the Peru operation more than a decade ago given the business's strong operating performance in conjunction with the same aforementioned deleveraging efforts. The lower net debt and stronger cash position is despite larger reinvestment in the business through growing capital expenditures in recent years.

During the first quarter of 2025, copper equivalent production decreased to 58,611 tonnes as expected, reflecting lower production of copper, gold and silver primarily related to lower planned grades in Peru as the final stripping phase at the Pampacancha deposit was underway. This was partially offset by higher gold production in Manitoba and record average gold prices and high copper prices which positively impacted gross profits.


The Manitoba operations delivered strong quarterly throughput as expected and unlocked better-than-expected grades, resulting in higher production that exceeded Hudbay's quarterly cadence expectations. Strong cost control, a weakening Canadian dollar and meaningful exposure to gold by-product credits resulted in consolidated cash cost1 and sustaining cash cost1 per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, in the first quarter of 2025 of $(0.45) and $0.72, respectively, contributing to the increased gross margin and very strong growth in adjusted EBITDA. Higher profits since 2023 in Peru and Canada have resulted in significant cash taxes paid of $117.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, which is reflected in operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital. In addition, deleveraging efforts including the repurchases of the Company's senior secured notes over the course of 2024 led to declining net interest cost to service Hudbay's long term debt. 

During the fourth quarter of 2024, copper equivalent production increased to 77,769 tonnes. Hudbay's Manitoba and Peru operations delivered strong quarterly production as expected and unlocked higher grade helping the Company exceed 2024 annual gold guidance. Strong cost control and meaningful exposure to gold by-product credits resulted in consolidated cash cost1 and sustaining cash cost1 per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits1, in the fourth quarter of 2024 of $0.45 and $1.37, respectively, contributing to Hudbay's outperformance of its improved full year 2024 cost guidance. Furthermore, the settlement of the gold prepayment liability in the third quarter of 2024, allowed Hudbay to capitalize on surging gold prices. Since acquiring Copper Mountain in June 2023, Hudbay has moved to optimization efforts which have been focused on ramping up the mining fleet to execute a planned accelerated stripping campaign to gain access to higher grades, as well as plant improvement initiatives to improve mill reliability and recoveries.

During the third quarter of 2024, profitability and cash flows grew compared to the second quarter of 2024. This strength was attributable in part to higher gold, copper and zinc production compared to the second quarter of 2024, along with returning strength in commodity prices including record gold prices. These impacts offset planned lower mined grades observed in Peru in the third quarter of 2024 and the higher cash mining taxes paid in Peru resulting from higher profitability over the past several quarters. Strong operating cost control continued into the third quarter of 2024 resulting from a number of operational initiatives and high levels of mill throughput being experienced throughout the business.

During the second quarter of 2024, realized copper and gold prices continued to climb which overcame the decline in sales volumes of concentrate compared to the first quarter of 2024. Expected lower mined grades observed for the same metals in Peru and Manitoba were the primary factor for the decline in production since the first quarter of the year. Cost control remained favourable as Hudbay continued to track within cost guidance given the expected cadence in the year's production profile. Higher mining taxes continued as Hudbay experienced higher profitability over the past several quarters. Lastly, volatile inter-period copper and gold prices led to relatively high mark-to-market adjustments for Hudbay's strategic non-QP hedging program and high share prices for Hudbay's common shares led to higher share-based compensation expenses. This led to a total of $19.5 million in mark-to-market adjustments to be added back in Hudbay's adjusted net earnings - attributable to owners measure.

The first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected the continuation of strong copper, gold and silver production that commenced in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in copper, gold and silver prices in the first quarter of 2024 also contributed to strong revenue and profitability in the quarter.

Third quarter of 2023 results reflected significantly higher copper and gold production and sales volumes from the high grade zones of the Pampacancha deposit and higher gold and copper grade zones at Lalor resulting in a significant increase in Hudbay's revenues, gross profits and earnings.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to owners, adjusted net earnings (loss) per share attributable to owners, adjusted EBITDA, realized prices, net debt, net debt to adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, cash cost, sustaining and all-in sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, cash cost and sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold produced, combined unit cost and ratios based on these measures are non-GAAP performance measures. These measures do not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Management believes adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to owners and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share attributable to owners provides an alternate measure of the Company's performance for the current period and gives insight into its expected performance in future periods. These measures are used internally by the Company to evaluate the performance of its underlying operations and to assist with its planning and forecasting of future operating results. As such, the Company believes these measures are useful to investors in assessing the Company's underlying performance. Hudbay provides adjusted EBITDA to help users analyze Hudbay's results and to provide additional information about its ongoing cash generating potential in order to assess its capacity to service and repay debt, carry out investments and cover working capital needs. Net debt is shown because it is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its financial position. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is shown because it is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its financial leverage and debt capacity. Realized price is shown to understand the average realized price of metals sold to third parties in each reporting period. Free cash flow is shown as it provides investors and management additional information in assessing the Company's ability to generate cash flow from current operations after investing in capital to sustain the operations. Cash cost, sustaining and all-in sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced are shown because Hudbay believes they help investors and management assess the performance of its operations, including the margin generated by the operations and the Company. Cash cost and sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold produced are shown because Hudbay believes they help investors and management assess the performance of its Manitoba operations. Combined unit cost is shown because Hudbay believes it helps investors and management assess the cost structure and margins that are not impacted by variability in by-product commodity prices.


Adjusted Net Earnings - Attributable to owners

Adjusted net earnings attributable to owners represents net earnings (loss) excluding certain impacts such as mark-to-market adjustments, foreign exchange (gains) loss, revaluation adjustment - environmental provisions for closed sites, variable consideration adjustment related to stream agreements, impairment charges and reversal of impairment charges on assets, (gain) loss on disposal of assets, other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of Hudbay's core business; and tax effect and non-controlling interest of the previously discussed items. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings (loss) as determined under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings and non-controlling interest per the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, to adjusted net earnings attributable to owners of the Company for the three months ended June 30 and March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings before net finance expense/income, tax expense/recoveries, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and deferred revenue, as well as certain other adjustments. Hudbay calculates adjusted EBITDA by excluding certain adjustments included within Hudbay's adjusted net earnings attributable measure which reflects the underlying performance of Hudbay's core operating activities. The measure also removes the impact of non-cash items and financing costs that are not associated with measuring the underlying performance of Hudbay's operations. However, Hudbay's adjusted EBITDA is not the measure defined as EBITDA under Hudbay's senior notes or revolving credit facilities and may not be comparable with performance measures with the same name reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for earnings, which is calculated in accordance with IFRS. Hudbay provides adjusted EBITDA to help users analyze their results and to provide additional information about Hudbay's ongoing cash generating potential in order to assess its capacity to service and repay debt, carry out investments and cover working capital needs.

Free Cash Flow

Hudbay defines free cash flow as cash generated from operations adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, sustaining capital expenditures and cash payments from operating sites related to leases, equipment financings and community agreements. Free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.

Cash Cost, Sustaining and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost (Copper Basis)

Cash cost per pound of copper produced ("cash cost") is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of its operations. Hudbay's calculation designates copper as the primary metal of production as it has been the largest component of revenues. The calculation is presented in four manners:

- Cash cost, before by-product credits - This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only pounds of copper produced, Hudbay's primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by-product metals. It is, however, affected by the relative mix of copper concentrate and zinc concentrate production, where an increase in production of zinc concentrate will tend to result in an increase in cash cost under this measure.

- Cash cost, net of by-product credits - In order to calculate the net cost to produce and sell copper, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than copper. The by-product revenues from zinc, gold, and silver are significant and are integral to the economics of Hudbay's operations. The economics that support Hudbay's decision to produce and sell copper would be different if Hudbay did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum copper price consistent with positive operating margins, assuming realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure its operating performance versus that of its competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside copper prices, the cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher copper price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

- Sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits - This measure is an extension of cash cost that includes cash sustaining capital expenditures, including payments on capitalized leases, capitalized sustaining exploration, net smelter returns royalties, payments on certain long-term community agreements, as well as accretion and amortization for expected decommissioning activities for producing assets. It does not include corporate selling and administrative expenses. It provides a more fulsome measurement of the cost of sustaining production than cash cost, which is focused on operating costs only.

- All-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits - This measure is an extension of sustaining cash cost that includes corporate G&A, regional costs, accretion and amortization for community agreements relating to current operations, and accretion for expected decommissioning activities for non-producing sites. Due to the inclusion of corporate selling and administrative expenses, all-in sustaining cash cost is presented on a consolidated basis only.

The tables below present a detailed build-up of cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, by business unit in addition to consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, and reconciliations between cash cost, net of by-product credits, to the most comparable IFRS measures of cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, and March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. Cash cost, net of by-product credits may not calculate exactly based on amounts presented in the tables below due to rounding.

Gold Cash Cost and Gold Sustaining Cash Cost

Cash cost per ounce of gold produced ("gold cash cost") is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of Hudbay's Manitoba operations. This alternative cash cost calculation designates gold as the primary metal of production as it represents a substantial component of revenues for Hudbay's Manitoba business unit and should therefore be less volatile over time than Manitoba cash cost per pound of copper. The calculation is presented in three manners:

- Gold cash cost, before by-product credits - This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only ounces of gold produced, the assumed primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by-product metals.

- Gold cash cost, net of by-product credits - In order to calculate the net cost to produce and sell gold, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than gold. The by-product revenues from copper, zinc, and silver are significant and are integral to the economics of Hudbay's Manitoba operation. The economics that support its decision to produce and sell gold would be different if Hudbay did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum gold price consistent with positive operating margins, assuming realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure Hudbay's operating performance at its Manitoba operation versus that of its competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside gold prices, the gold cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher gold price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

- Gold sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits - This measure is an extension of gold cash cost that includes cash sustaining capital expenditures, capitalized exploration, net smelter returns royalties, as well as accretion and amortization for expected decommissioning activities for producing assets. It does not include corporate selling and administrative expenses. It provides a more fulsome measurement of the cost of sustaining production than gold cash cost, which is focused on operating costs only.

The tables below present a detailed build-up of gold cash cost and gold sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, for the Manitoba business unit, and reconciliations between gold cash cost, net of by-product credits, to the most comparable IFRS measures of cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, and March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Gold cash cost, net of by-product credits, may not calculate exactly based on amounts presented in the tables below due to rounding.

Combined Unit Cost

Combined unit cost ("unit cost") and zinc plant unit cost is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of Hudbay's mining and milling operations. Combined unit cost is calculated by dividing the cost of sales by mill throughput. This measure is utilized by management and investors to assess Hudbay's cost structure and margins and compare it to similar information provided by other companies in the industry. Unlike cash cost, this measure is not impacted by variability in by-product commodity prices since there are no by-product deductions; costs associated with profit-sharing and similar costs are excluded because of their correlation to external metal prices. In addition, the unit costs are reported in the functional currency of the operation which minimizes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. In all, the unit cost measures provide an alternative perspective on operating cost performance with minimal impact from external market prices.

The tables below present a detailed combined unit cost for the Peru and Manitoba business units, and reconciliations between these measures to the most comparable IFRS measures of cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES

New standards issued but not yet effective

For information on new standards issued but not yet effective, refer to note 3 of Hudbay's June 30, 2025 consolidated interim financial statements.

Estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Hudbay to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Hudbay reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis based on its experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that Hudbay believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Certain accounting estimates and judgements have been identified as being "critical" to the presentation of Hudbay's financial condition and results of operations because they require Hudbay to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain; or there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and estimates.

For more information on judgements and estimates, refer to note 2 of Hudbay's June 30, 2025 consolidated interim financial statements.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated interim financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. 

Hudbay did not make any changes to ICFR during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Hudbay's ICFR.
