Buenaventura Announces Third Quarter
and Nine Month 2019 Results

Lima, Peru, October 29, 2019 – Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the third quarter (3Q19) and nine-month (9M19) period ended September 30, 2019. All figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on a non-GAAP basis and are stated in U.S. dollars (US$).

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights:
Buenaventura generated US$ 12.0 million in additional EBITDA through the Company´s De-Bottlenecking Program (please see page 6 for more details). Through this program, BVN is increasing the efficiency of its Tambomayo, Uchucchacua, Orcopampa and El Brocal mines.
3Q19 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 55.8 million, compared to US$ 60.8 million reported in 3Q18, primarily due to a reduction in production and volume sold at the Company’s Orcopampa and La Zanja mines. However, this represents a continued positive sequential quarterly trend.
3Q19 EBITDA was adversely affected in the amount of US$ 10 million due to a one-off event related to headcount reduction at Orcopampa and more than expected inventory generated at Tambomayo.
3Q19 Adjusted EBITDA including associated companies reached US$ 158.5 million, compared to US$ 150.8 million in 3Q18.
3Q19 capital expenditures were US$ 28.0 million, compared to US$ 18.5 million for the same period in 2018.
3Q19 net income was US$ 4.5 million, compared to a net income of US$ -10.3 million for the same period in 2018.
The portfolio of greenfield projects continued progressing well. San Gabriel (Au) and Trapiche (Cu) have achieved pre-feasibility stage in 3Q19. Buenaventura expects to declare ore reserves in 1Q20.
At Yanacocha, Quecher Main is on budget and should achieve commercial production by 4Q19.
Cerro Verde´s 3Q19 was primarily affected by the social unrest related to a copper project in the region, which restricted the workforce’s access to the mine and the replacement of consumables. Due to this, the processing plants treated stockpiles, which adversely affected grades and recoveries.
A dividend payment of US$ 0.027 per share/ADS was approved by Buenaventura’s Board.

Production and Operating Costs
 

Buenaventura’s 3Q19 equity gold production was 121,466 ounces, compared to 161,186 reported in 3Q18, primarily due a 60% YoY decrease in production at Orcopampa related to prioritizing De-Bottlenecking over ore extraction and an anticipated 66% YoY decrease in production at La Zanja. Silver equity production decreased by 26% year on year, primarily due to a 31% decrease in production at the Tambomayo mine, due lower grades, and a 28% decrease at the Uchucchacua mine, also due to lower grades.

Buenaventura´s 9M19 equity gold production was 349,623 ounces, compared to 451,361 reported in 9M18. This was primarily due to a 73% YoY decrease in production at Orcopampa and a 51% YoY decrease in production at La Zanja. Silver equity production decreased by 31% year on year, primarily due to a 44% decrease in production at the Tambomayo mine and a 36% decrease at the Uchucchacua mine. Lead equity production increased by 7% year on year, primarily due to a 17% increase in production at the El Brocal mine.

 De-Bottlenecking Program – 3Q19 Update
 

Buenaventura’s De-Bottlenecking Program continues to progress with positive results, generating additional EBITDA as follows:


 
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.
    Third Quarter 2019 Results
 Page 7 of 25



Reduced production due to the result of the Company’s De-Bottlenecking Program has been offset by lower operating costs resulting from increased profitability at its operations, in terms of EBITDA, while lower cut-off has increased the LOM. The Plan’s progress at Buenaventura’s Tambomayo, Uchucchacua and El Brocal operations is advancing as expected.

In the specific case of El Brocal, the cost reduction process is in line with expectations. However, this was adversely affected by a one-off event related to mechanical issues at its processing facilities which affected 3Q19 results. This should be normalized by the end of 2019.

Finally, costs at Buenaventura’s Orcopampa operations have not yet been stabilized due to one-off events during the year related to headcount reduction of Buenaventura and contracted employees. This should also be normalized by the end of 2019.

General and Administrative Expenses
 

3Q19 General and Administrative expenses were US$ 17.4 million; an 11% increase as compared to the US$ 15.8 million in 3Q18.

Exploration in Non-Operating Areas
 

3Q19 exploration costs in Non-Operating Areas were US$ 2.4 million compared with US$ 9.8 million in 3Q18. During the period, Buenaventura primarily focused its exploration efforts on the Emperatriz (US$ 0.5 million) and Marcapunta Norte (US$ 0.3 million).

Share in Associated Companies
 

During 3Q19, Buenaventura’s share in associated companies was US$ 37.8 million, compared to US$ 22.2 million reported in 3Q18, comprised of:

Note:
EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) consists of earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share in associated companies, net, loss on currency exchange difference, other, net, provision for workers’ profit sharing and provision for long-term officers’ compensation.

EBITDA (including associated companies) consists of EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations), plus (1) Buenaventura’s equity share of EBITDA (Yanacocha) (2) Buenaventura’s equity share of EBITDA (Cerro Verde), plus (3) Buenaventura’s equity share of EBITDA (Coimolache). All EBITDA mentioned were similarly calculated using financial information provided to Buenaventura by the associated companies.

Buenaventura presents EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) to provide further information with respect to its operating performance and the operating performance of its equity investees, the affiliates. EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) are not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) as alternatives to operating income or net income determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of Buenaventura’s, affiliates operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

APPENDIX 4: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales and Cost Applicable to Sales per Unit Sold
Cost applicable to sales consists of cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus selling expenses. Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine consists of cost applicable to sales for a particular metal produced at a given mine divided by the volume of such metal produced at such mine in the specified period. We note that cost applicable to sales is not directly comparable to the cash operating cost figures disclosed in previously furnished earnings releases.
Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We consider Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold to be key measures in managing and evaluating our operating performance. These measures are widely reported in the precious metals industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have standardized meanings. You should not consider Cost applicable to sales or Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold as alternatives to cost of sales determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our operating performance.  Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are calculated without adjusting for by-product revenue amounts.
The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units.  The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 by reference to the reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization (by mine and mineral), Selling Expenses (by mine and metal) expenses and Exploration in units in operations (by mine and mineral) to consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, consolidated Selling Expenses and consolidated Exploration in units in operations expenses, respectively, set forth below.
