Buenaventura Announces
Third Quarter and Nine-month 2025 Results
Lima, Peru, October 30, 2025 – 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 (3Q25) and nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 (9M25). 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$).
Third Quarter and Nine-Month 2025 Highlights:
| · | Buenaventura's 3Q25 consolidated silver production decreased by 3% YoY due to lower production at Uchucchacua and Yumpag, partially offset by increased production at El Brocal and Julcani. Gold production decreased by 21% YoY due to decreased output at Orcopampa and Tambomayo. Copper production decreased by 24% YoY. In 3Q24, all stockpiled ore was processed from El Brocal’s 2Q24 voluntary temporary processing plant suspension. |
| · | 3Q25 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 202.1 million, compared to US$ 136.5 million reported in 3Q24 which excluded the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company. 9M25 EBITDA from direct operations reached US$ 458.5 million, compared to US$ 338.2 million reported in 9M24, which excluded the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company. |
| · | 3Q25 net income reached US$ 179.0 million, compared to US$ 244.4 million for the same period in 2024, which included the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company. 9M25 net income was US$ 424.2 million, compared to US$ 385.9 million in net income for the 9M24, which included the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company. |
| · | 3Q25 CAPEX related to San Gabriel was US$ 92.3 million, allocated to completing the processing plant’s construction to enable the commencement of commercial production in 4Q25. |
| · | Buenaventura's cash position reached US$ 485.7 million by quarter’s end, September 30, 2025, while net debt amounted to US$ 224.9 million, resulting in a Leverage Ratio of 0.41x. |
| · | On September 5, 2025, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines granted Coimolache a new operating permit authorizing fresh ore placement on a new level of Tantahuatay’s leach platform and on additional adjacent surface areas. This milestone marks the initiation of full-capacity production at both the mine and the leach pad. |
| · | Buenaventura’s Board of Directors has approved a dividend payment of US$ 0.1446 per share/ADS. |
