1Q22 gold production at Tambomayo decreased 10% year on year, primarily due to a 35% decrease in the gold grade despite increased amounts of ore treated.

1Q22 Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) increased to 1,011 US$/Oz, from 927 US$/Oz in 1Q21, primarily due to a 145% year on year increase in commercial deductions, as the Company sold more lead and zinc concentrates and less gold and silver during the first quarter of 2022. COVID-19 related expenses decreased by US$ 0.4 M, year on year.

El Brocal 1Q22 copper production increased by 32%, year on year. Tajo Norte 1Q22 zinc production decreased by 14% year on year as part of the anticipated transition from polymetallic to copper ore in the open pit mining sequence.

1Q22 Copper Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) increased by 18% year on year while zinc CAS increased by 40% year on year. These increases are primarily due to a 52% increase in exploration expenses and a 32% increase in commercial deductions.

A landslide within the mine’s open pit occurred on March 19, 2022, resulting in the death of three workers. The exact cause of the landslide is under further investigation.

General and Administrative Expenses

1Q22 General and Administrative expenses were US$ 18.5 million; a 9% increase as compared to US$ 17.0 million in 1Q21.

Exploration in Non-Operating Areas

1Q22 Non-Operating Area exploration costs were US$ 2.0 million, compared with US$ 1.7 million in 1Q21. During the first quarter 2022, Buenaventura focused exploration primarily within its Emperatriz project (La Zanja), resulting in US$ 0.6 million in exploration costs during 1Q22. Increased exploration during the quarter is aligned with Buenaventura´s strategy to maintain a pipeline of new discoveries and projects.

Net gain (loss) of currency exchange difference

1Q22 currency exchange related net gain was US$ 47.8 million, compared with a net loss of US$ 1.4 million in 1Q21 due to a year on year strengthening of the PEN relative to the US dollar (3.975 PEN/USD in 2021 vs 3.695 PEN/USD in 2022). SUNAT’s claim is registered in Peruvian Soles as part of Buenaventura’s ‘accounts receivables’, therefore, a lower exchange rate increases the total amount when converted to US dollars.

Share in Associated Companies

During 1Q22, Buenaventura’s share in associated companies increased to US$ 75.4 million, compared to US$ 58.2 million in 1Q21, comprised of:

Share in Associates’ Results<br><br> <br>(in millions of US$) 1Q22 1Q21 Var
Cerro Verde Contribution 74.4 54.1 38%

Total Income from non-consolidated affiliates 75.4 58.2 30%
SAN GABRIEL Project
---

The San Gabriel construction permit was issued on March 23, 2022. The Company has therefore begun releasing purchase and service orders for construction and early works are underway.

CAPEX for the San Gabriel Project will increase to a range between US$ 420 million – 470 million due to:

- Increased oil and supplies costs resulting from inflation
- Additional lead times due to port congestion

CERRO VERDE (19.58% owned by Buenaventura)

1Q22 copper production was 107,335 MT, 21,016 MT of which is attributable to Buenaventura; an increase as compared to 98,337 MT produced in 1Q21; 19,254 MT of which was attributable to Buenaventura.

Cerro Verde reported 1Q22 net income of US$ 379.8 million, compared to net income of US$ 276.2 million in 1Q21. This is primarily due to a 27% year on year net sales increase, mainly due to a higher average realized copper price of US$ 4.93 per pound in the first quarter of 2022, compared to US$ 4.35 per pound in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was partially offset by a year-on-year cost of sales increase due to increase in oil prices.

Cerro Verde 1Q22 CAPEX reached US$ 39.2 million.

COIMOLACHE (40.10% owned by Buenaventura)

1Q22 attributable contribution to net profit was US$ 1.0 million, as compared to US$ 4.5 million attributable contribution to net income in 1Q21.

APPENDIX 4: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

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

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

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

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

The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units.  The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 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.
