Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
2.5 Basis<br> of consolidation
--- ---
(a) Subsidiaries
--- ---

The Company established control as the basis of consolidation of its financial statements. The Company controls a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

The consolidation of a subsidiary starts when the Group controls it and it is no longer included in the consolidation when control is lost.

Subsidiaries are consolidated through the line by line method, adding items that represent assets, liabilities, income and expenses with a similar content, and eliminating operations between companies within the SQM Group.

Results for dependent companies acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated accounts from the date on which control is transferred to the SQM Group or until the date when this control ends, as relevant.

To account for an acquisition of a business, the Company uses the acquisition method. Under this method, the acquisition cost is the fair value of assets delivered, equity securities issued, and incurred or assumed liabilities at the date of exchange. Assets, liabilities and contingencies identifiable assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Company will measure the non-controlling interest of the acquiree either at fair value or as proportional share of net identifiable assets of the acquire.

The details of the consolidated companies can be found in Note 7.

2.6 Investments<br> in associates and joint ventures

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.

(a) Joint<br> operations

The Company recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint arrangement.

(b) Joint<br> ventures and investments in associates

Interests in companies over which joint control is exercised (joint ventures) or where an entity has significant influence (associates) are recognized using the equity accounting method. Significant influence is presumed when the investor owns over 20% of the investee’s share capital. The investment is recognized using this method in the statement of financial position at cost plus changes subsequent to acquisition and includes the proportional share of the associate’s equity. For these purposes, the percentage interest in the associate is used. The associated acquired goodwill is included in the investee’s book value and is not amortized. The debit or credit to the income statement reflects the proportional share of the profit or loss of the associate.

Unrealized gains from transactions with joint ventures or associates are eliminated in accordance with the Company’s percentage interest in such entities. Any unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless that transaction provides evidence that the transferred asset is impaired.

Changes in associate’s or joint ventures equity are recognized proportionally with a charge or credit to “Other Reserves” and are classified according to their origin. The reporting dates of the associate or joint ventures, the Company and related policies are similar for equivalent transactions and events in similar circumstances. In the event that significant influence is lost, or the investment is sold, or held for sale, the equity method is suspended, not recognizing the proportional share of the gain or loss. If the resulting value under the equity method is negative, the share of profit or loss is reflected as zero in the consolidated financial statements, unless there is a commitment by the Company to restore the capital position of the Company, in which case the related risk provision and expense are recorded.

17
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023

Dividends received by these companies are recorded by reducing the value of the investment and are shown in cash flows from operating activities, and the proportional share of the gain or loss recognized in accordance with the equity method is included in the consolidated income statement under “Share of Gains (Losses) of Associates and Joint Ventures Accounted for Using the Equity Method’’.

18
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
Note 3 Significant accounting policies
--- ---
3.1 Classification<br> of balances as current and non-current
--- ---

In the consolidated statement of financial position, balances are classified in consideration of their maturity dates; i.e., those maturing within a period equal to or less than 12 months are classified as current counted from the closing date of the consolidated financial statements and those with maturity dates exceeding the aforementioned period are classified as non-current.

The exception to the foregoing relates to deferred taxes, which are classified as non-current, regardless of the maturity they have.

3.2 Functional<br> and presentation currency

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, without decimal places, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency and is the currency of the main economic environment in which it operates. Consequently, the term foreign currency is defined as any currency other than the U.S. dollar.

3.3 Accounting<br> policy for foreign currency translation
(a) SQM<br> group entities:
--- ---

The revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of all entities that have a functional currency other than the presentation currency are converted to the presentation currency as follows:

- Assets<br> and liabilities are converted at the closing exchange rate prevailing on the reporting<br> date.
- Revenues<br> and expenses of each profit or loss account are converted at monthly average exchange<br> rates.
--- ---
- All<br> resulting foreign currency translation gains and losses are recognized as a separate<br> component in translation reserves.
--- ---

In consolidation, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities are recorded in shareholder’s equity (“foreign currency translation reserve”). At the date of disposal, such foreign currency translation differences are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss from the sale.

19
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023

The main exchange rates and UF used to translate monetary assets and liabilities, expressed in foreign currency at the end and average of each period in respect to U.S. dollars, are as follows:

All values are in US Dollars.

(*) US$ per UF

(b)         Transactions and balances

The Company’s non-monetary transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (Dollar) are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. All differences are recorded in the statement of income except for all monetary items that provide an effective hedge for a net investment in a foreign operation. These items are recognized in other comprehensive income until disposal of the investment, when they are recognized in the statement of income. Charges and credits attributable to foreign currency translation differences on those hedge monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are retranslated to the functional currency at the historical exchange rate of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured based on fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined.

20
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
3.4 Consolidated<br> statement of cash flows
--- ---

Cash equivalents correspond to highly liquid short-term investments that are easily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in their value and mature in less than three months from the date of acquisition of the instrument.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

The statement of cash flows present cash transactions performed during the period, determined using the direct method.

3.5 Financial<br> assets

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

The initial value of the Company’s financial assets valued at fair value through comprehensive income includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to acquiring that financial asset on the date the Company commits to acquiring it, whereas the transaction costs for financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss are expensed. The initial value of trade and other receivables that do not include a significant financial component is their transaction price.

After initial recognition, the Company measures its financial assets according to the Company’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual terms of its cash flows:

(a) Financial<br> debt instruments measured at amortized cost. Financial assets that meet the following<br> conditions are included in this category the business model that supports it aims<br> to maintain the financial assets to obtain the contractual cash flows and the contractual<br> conditions of the financial asset give place, on specified dates, to cash flows that<br> are only payments of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.<br> The Company’s financial assets that meet these conditions are: (i) cash equivalents,<br> (ii) related party receivables, (iii) trade debtors and (iv) other receivables.
(b) Financial<br> instruments at fair value. A financial asset should be measured at fair value through<br> profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income, depending on the following:
--- ---
(i) “Fair<br> Value Through Other Comprehensive Income”: Assets held to collect contractual cash<br> flows and to be sold, where the asset cash flows are only capital and interest payments,<br> are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in book values<br> are through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses,<br> interest income and exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in the income statement.<br> When a financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized<br> in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the income statement. Interest<br> income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective<br> interest method.
--- ---
(ii) “Fair<br> Value Through Profit and Loss”: Assets that do not meet the amortized cost or “Fair<br> Value Through Other Comprehensive Income” criteria are valued at “Fair Value<br> Through Profit and Loss”.
--- ---
21
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
(c) Financial<br> equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. Equity instruments<br> that are not classified as held for trading and which the Group has irrevocably chosen<br> to recognize in this category. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income will not<br> be subsequently transferred to profit or loss.
--- ---
3.6 Financial<br> assets impairment
--- ---

The Company evaluates expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost. The impairment method used depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly when it is more than 30 days past due. It is in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due and an individual analysis has concluded that it has a negative credit impairment.

The Company assesses the credit impairment of its receivables as of each reporting date. A financial asset has credit impairment when one or more events have a negative impact on the expected cash flows from it. Evidence of credit impairment for a debtor is as follows:

- Significant<br> financial hardship
- Breach<br> of contract due to default
--- ---
- Probability<br> of going bankrupt
--- ---

The Company applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using the lifetime expected loss on all trade receivables. Expected credit losses are measured by grouping receivables by their shared credit risk characteristics and days overdue.

The Company has concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for these assets. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles and historical credit losses within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current expectations and information regarding macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of customers to meet their commitments. Impairment losses from receivables and contract assets are shown as net impairment losses in the line “Impairment of financial assets and reversal of impairment losses,” see Note 22.7. Any subsequent recoveries of financial assets previously charged off are credited to the same line.

The gross value of a financial asset is charged off to the income statement when the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering all or a portion of it, following an individual analysis prepared by management.

3.7 Financial<br> liabilities

Management accounts for its financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures its financial liabilities by their fair value less the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability. The Company subsequently measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are commercial accounts payable and other accounts payable and other financial liabilities.

Amortized cost is based using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by considering any premium or discount on the acquisition and includes transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

22
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
3.8 Estimated<br> fair value of financial instruments
--- ---

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is estimated using the following information. Although the data represent Management’s best estimates, it is subjective and involves significant estimates regarding current economic conditions, market conditions and risk characteristics.

Methodologies and assumptions used depend on the risk terms and characteristics of instruments and include the following as a summary:

Fairvalue estimation

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value consist of forwards hedging the mismatch in the balance sheet and cash flows, options hedging the mismatch in the balance sheet and cross currency swaps to hedge bonds issued in local currency (Peso/UF).

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities recognized by cross currency swaps contracts is calculated as the difference between the present value of discounted cash flows of the asset (Peso/UF) and liability (Dollar) parts of the derivative. In the case of the IRSW, the asset value recognized is calculated as the difference between the discounted cash flows of the asset (variable rate) and liability (fixed rate) parts of the derivative. Forwards are calculated as the difference between the strike price of the contract and the spot price plus the forwards points at the date of the contract. Financial options: the value recognized is calculated using the Black-Scholes method.

In the case of CCS, the entry data used for the valuation models are UF, Peso, Dollar and basis swap rates. In the case of fair value calculations for interest rate swaps, the Forward Rate Agreement rate and ICVS 23 Curve (Bloomberg: cash/deposits rates, futures, swaps). In the case of forwards, the forwards curve for the currency in question is used. Finally, for options, the spot price, risk-free rate and volatility of exchange rate are used, all in accordance with the currencies used in each valuation. The financial information used as entry data for the Company’s valuation models is obtained from Bloomberg, the well-known financial software company. Conversely, the fair value provided by the counterparties of derivatives contracts is used only as a control and not for valuation.

The effects on profit or loss of movements in these amounts is recognized in the caption finance costs, foreign currency translation gain (loss) or cash flow hedge reserve in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on each particular case.

Estimateof fair value for disclosure purposes

· Cash<br> equivalent approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
· The<br> fair value of current trade receivables is considered to be equal to the carrying amount<br> due to the maturity of such accounts at short-term.
--- ---
· Payables,<br> current lease liabilities and other current financial liabilities are considered fair<br> value equal to book value due to the short-term maturity of these accounts.
--- ---
· The<br> fair value of the debt (long-term secured and unsecured debentures; bonds denominated<br> in local currency (Peso/UF) and foreign currency (Dollar), borrowings denominated in<br> foreign currency (Dollar) and lease liabilities of the Company are calculated at current<br> value of cash flows subtracted from market rates upon valuation, considering the terms<br> of maturity and exchange rates. The UF and Peso rate curves are used as inputs for the<br> valuation model. This information is obtained through from the renowned financial software<br> company, Bloomberg, and the Chilean Association of Banks and Financial Institutions.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
3.9 Reclassification<br> of financial instruments
--- ---

When the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, it will reclassify all its financial assets affected by the new business model. Financial liabilities cannot be reclassified.

3.10 Financial<br> instruments derecognition

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; and the control of the financial assets has not been retained.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations or a part of these are discharged, paid to the creditor or legally extinguished from the principle responsibility contained in the liability.

3.11 Derivative<br> and hedging financial instruments

The financial instruments derivatives are recognized initially at fair value as of the date on which the derivatives contract is signed and, they are subsequently assessed at fair value. The method for recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative has been designated as an accounting hedge instrument and, if so, it depends on the type of hedging, which may be as follows:

a) Fair<br> value hedge of assets and liabilities recognized (fair value hedges).
b) Hedging<br> of a single risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable<br> forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
--- ---

At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the relationship that exists between hedging instruments and those items hedged, as well as their objectives for risk management purposes and the strategy to conduct different hedging operations.

The Company also documents its evaluation both at the beginning and at the end of each period if the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective to offset changes in the fair value or in cash flows of hedged items.

The fair value of derivative instruments used for hedging purposes is shown in Note 13.3.

Derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify as hedging derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities, and changes in the fair value are directly recognized through profit or loss.

a) Fair<br> value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps that hedge fixed rate borrowings is recognized in profit or loss within finance costs, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss within other income or other expenses. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit or loss over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate.

24
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023

b)     Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is initially recognized with a debit or credit to other comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is immediately recognized to income, as appropriate, depending on the nature of the hedged risk. The amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are carried over to results when the hedged items are settled or when these have an impact on income.

When a hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in other comprehensive income are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

3.12 Derivative<br> financial instruments not considered as hedges

Derivative financial instruments not considered as hedges are recognized at fair value with the effect in the profit of the year. The Company has derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risk exposure.

The Company continually evaluates the existence of embedded derivatives in both its contracts and in its financial instruments. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any embedded derivatives.

3.13 Deferred<br> acquisition costs from insurance contracts

Acquisition costs from insurance contracts are classified as prepayments and correspond to insurance contracts in force, recognized using the straight-line method and on an accrual basis independent of payment date. These are recognized under other non-financial assets current.

3.14 Leases
(a) Right-of-use<br> assets
--- ---

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets on the initial lease date (i.e., the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted by any new measurement of the lease liability. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of recognized lease liabilities, direct initial costs incurred and lease payments made on the start date or sooner, less the lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably sure it will take ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease period, the assets recognized through right-of-use are depreciated in a straight line during the shortest period of their estimated useful life and lease period. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

(b) Lease<br> liabilities

On the lease start date, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at present value of lease payments that will be made during the lease period. Lease payments include fixed payments (including payments that are essentially fixed), less incentives for lease receivables, variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate and amounts that are expected to be paid as guaranteed residual value. Lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably sure it will exercise this and penalty payments for terminating a lease, if the lease period reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or rate are recognized as expenses in the period that produces the event or condition that triggers payment.

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate on the initial lease date if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined easily. After the start date, the lease liability balance will increase to reflect the accumulation of interest and will diminish as lease payments are made. Furthermore, the book value of lease liabilities is remeasured in the event of an amendment, a change in the lease period, a change in the fixed lease payments in substance or a change in the assessment to buy the underlying asset.

25
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023

Payments made that affect lease liabilities are presented as part of the financing activities in the cash flow statement.

(c) Short-term<br> leases and low-value asset leases

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases with a lease term of 12 months or less starting on the start date and that don’t have a purchase option. It also applies the low-value asset lease recognition exemptions to leases less than the limit specified in the respective accounting standard. Lease payments in short-term leases and low-value asset leases are recognized as lineal expenses during the lease term.

(d) Significant<br> judgments in the determination of the lease term for contracts with renewal options.

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that this will be exercised, or any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that this will not be exercised.

The Company has the option, under some of its leases, to lease assets for additional terms. The Company applies its judgment when assessing whether it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option to renovate. In other words, it considers all the relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the option to renovate. After the start date, the Company reevaluates the lease term if there is a significant event or change in the circumstances that are under its control and affect its capacity to exercise (or not exercise) the option to renovate.

3.15 Inventory<br> measurement

The method used to determine the cost of inventories is the weighted average monthly cost of warehouse storage. In determining production costs for own products, the company includes the costs of labor, raw materials, materials and supplies used in production, depreciation and maintenance of the goods that participate in the production process, the costs of product movement necessary to maintain stock on location and in the condition in which they are found, and also includes the indirect costs of each task such as laboratories, process and planning areas, and personnel expenses related to production, among others.

For finished and in-process products, the company has four types of provisions, which are reviewed quarterly:

(a) Provision<br> associated with the lower value of stock: The provision is directly identified with the<br> product that generates it and involves three types: (i) provision of lower realizable<br> value, which corresponds to the difference between the inventory cost of intermediary<br> or finished products, and the sale price minus the necessary costs to bring them to the<br> same conditions and location as the product with which they are compared; (ii) provision<br> for future uncertain use that corresponds to the value of those products in process that<br> are likely not going to be used in sales based on the company’s long-term plans;<br> (iii) reprocessing costs of products that are unfeasible for sale due to current<br> specifications.
(b) Provision<br> associated with physical differences in inventory: A provision is made for differences<br> that exceed the tolerance considered in the respective inventory process (physical and<br> annual inventories are taken for the productive units in Chile and the port of Tocopilla;<br> the business subsidiaries depend on the last zero ground obtained, but in general it<br> is at least once a year), these differences are recognized immediately.
--- ---
26
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
(c) Potential<br> errors in the determination of stock: The company has an algorithm that is reviewed at<br> least once a year and corresponds to diverse percentages assigned to each inventory based<br> on the product, location, complexity involved in the associated measurement, rotation<br> and control mechanisms.
--- ---

Inventories of raw materials, materials and supplies for production are recorded at acquisition cost. Cyclical inventories are performed in warehouses, as well as general inventories every three years. Differences are recognized at the moment they are detected. The company has a provision based on quarterly calculations from percentages associated with each type of material (classification by warehouse and rotation), these percentages use the lower value resulting from deterioration or obsolescence as well as potential losses. This provision is reviewed at least annually, and considers the historical profit and loss obtained in the inventory processes.

3.16 Non-controlling<br> interests

Non-controlling interests are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity but separate from equity attributable to the owners of the Parent.

3.17 Related<br> party transactions

Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are part of the Company’s normal operations within its scope of business activities. Conditions for such transactions are those normally effective for those types of operations with regard to terms and market prices. The maturity conditions vary according to the originating transaction.

3.18 Property,<br> plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses that they might have experienced.

In addition to the price paid for the acquisition of tangible property, plant and equipment, the Company has considered the following concepts as part of the acquisition cost, as applicable:

(a) Accrued<br> interest expenses during the construction period that are directly attributable to the<br> acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are those that require<br> a substantial period prior to being ready for use. The interest rate used is that related<br> to the project’s specific financing or, should this not exist, the average financing<br> rate of the investor company.
(b) The<br> future costs that the Company will have to experience, related to the closure of its<br> facilities at the end of their useful life, are included at the present value of disbursements<br> expected to be required to settle the obligation and are recorded as a liability and<br> its subsequent variation is recorded directly in results.
--- ---

Having initially recognized provisions for closure and refurbishment, the corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset in “Property, plant and equipment” and amortized in line with the amortization criteria for the associated assets.

Construction-in-progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment in operation once the assets are available for use and the related depreciation and amortization begins on that date.

Extension, modernization or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, ability or efficiency or an extension of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as a higher cost of the related assets. All the remaining maintenance, preservation and repair expenses are charged to expense as they are incurred.

The replacement of assets, which increase the asset’s useful life or its economic capacity, are recorded as a higher value of property, plant and equipment with the related derecognition of replaced or renewed elements.

27
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023

Gains or losses which are generated from the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized as income or (loss) in the period and calculated as the difference between the asset’s sales value and its net carrying value.

Costs derived from the daily maintenance of property, plant and equipment are recognized when incurred.

The cost of interest is recognized by applying an average or average weighted interest rate for all financing costs incurred by the Company to the final monthly balances for works underway and complies with the requirements of the required standard.

Financing costs are not activated for periods that exceed the normal term for acquisition, construction or installation of the property; such is the case for delays, interruptions or temporary suspension of the project due to technical, financial or other problems that make it impossible to leave the property in usable conditions.

3.19 Depreciation<br> of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated through the straight-line distribution of cost over the estimated technical useful life of the asset, which is the period in which the Company expects to use the asset. When components of one item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are recorded as separate assets and depreciated over their expected useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis.

Fixed assets located in the Salar de Atacama consider useful life to be the lesser value between the technical useful life and the years remaining until 2030.

In the case of certain mobile equipment, depreciation is performed depending on the hours of operation.

The useful lives used for the depreciation and amortization of assets included in property, plant and equipment in years are presented below:

Classes of property, plant and equipment Minimum life or rate (years) Maximum life or rate (years) Life or average rate in years
Mining assets 5 10 8
Energy generating assets 5 16 9
Buildings 4 25 13
Supplies and accessories 4 15 7
Office equipment 5 10 9
Transport equipment 6 20 10
Network and communication equipment 4 12 7
IT equipment 4 11 7
Machinery, plant and equipment 3 24 11
Other fixed assets 4 15 10

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br> June 30, 2023
3.20 Goodwill
--- ---

Goodwill acquired represents the excess in acquisition cost on the fair value of the Company’s ownership of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary on the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired related to the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in the line item goodwill, which is subject to impairment tests annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses related to the sale of an entity include the carrying value of goodwill related to the entity sold.

This intangible asset is assigned to cash-generating units with the purpose of testing impairment losses. It is allocated based on cash-generating units expected to obtain benefits from the business combination from which the aforementioned goodwill acquired arose.

3.21 Intangible<br> assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets other than goodwill mainly relate to water rights, costs for rights of way for electricity lines, software and licensing costs, the development of computer software and mining property and concession rights.

(a) Water<br>rights

Water rights acquired by the Company relate to water from natural sources and are recorded at acquisition cost. The Company separates water rights into:

i) Finite rights with amortization using the straight-line method, and

ii) Indefinite rights, which are not amortized, given that these assets represent rights granted in perpetuity to the Company, which are subject to an annual impairment assessment.

(b) Rights<br> of way for electric lines

As required for the operation of industrial plants, the Company has paid rights of way in order to install wires for the different electric lines on third party land. Amounts paid are capitalized at the date of the agreement and amortized in the statement of income, according to the life of the right of way.

(c) Computer<br> software

Licenses for IT programs acquired are capitalized based on their acquisition and customization costs. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of IT programs are defined by their contracts or rights.

Expenses related to the development or maintenance of IT programs are recognized as an expense as and when incurred. Costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable IT programs controlled by the Group, and which will probably generate economic benefits that are higher than its costs during more than a year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the expenses of employees who develop information technology software and general expenses in accordance with corporate charges received.

The costs of development for IT programs are recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

(d) Mining<br> property and concession rights

The Company holds mining property and concession rights from the Chilean and Western Australian Governments. Property rights from the State of Chile are usually obtained at no initial cost (other than the payment of mining patents and minor recording expenses) and once the rights on these concessions have been obtained, they are retained by the Company while annual patents are paid. Such patents, which are paid annually, are recorded as prepaid assets and amortized over the following twelve months. Amounts attributable to mining concessions acquired from third parties that are not from the Chilean Government are recorded at acquisition cost within intangible assets.

29
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements  June 30, 2023

The finite useful life of mining properties is calculated using the productive unit method, except for the mining properties owned by Corfo, which have been leased to the Company and grant it the right to exclusively exploit them until December 31, 2030.

Minimum and maximum amortization lives or rates of intangible assets:

Estimated<br> useful life or amortization rate Minimum<br> Life or Rate Maximum<br> Life or Rate
Water<br> rights 5<br> years Indefinite
Rights<br> of way Indefinite Indefinite
Corfo<br> Mining properties 7<br> years 7<br> years
Mining<br> rights Unit-production<br> method
Intellectual<br> property 9<br> years 9<br> years
IT<br> programs 3<br> years 9<br> years
3.22 Research<br> and development expenses
--- ---

Research and development expenses are charged to profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure was incurred.

3.23 Exploration<br> and evaluation expenses

The Company holds mining concessions for exploration and exploitation of ore, the Company gives the following treatment to expenses associated:

Once the rights have been obtained, the Company records the disbursements directly associated with the exploration and evaluation of the deposit in execution as property, plant and equipment (construction in progress) at its cost. These disbursements include the following items: geological surveys, drilling, borehole extraction and sampling, activities related to the technical assessment and commercial viability of the extraction, and in general, any disbursement directly related to specific projects where the objective is to find ore resources. If the technical studies determine that the ore grade is not economically viable, the asset is directly charged to profit and loss. If determined otherwise, the asset described above is associated with the extractable ore tonnage which is amortized as it is used.

(a) Limestone and metallic exploration

These assets are included in Other Non-Current Non-Financial Assets, and the portion related to the area to be exploited in the year is reclassified to Inventories, if applicable. Costs related to metal exploration are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are recognized if the project assessed doesn’t qualify as advanced exploration otherwise, these are amortized during the development stage.

(b) Exploration and evaluation at the Mt. Holland Project

Mount Holland exploration and evaluation expenditure is included in Property, plant and equipment, specifically in Construction in Progress.

30
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2023
3.24 Impairment<br> of non-financial assets
--- ---

Assets subject to depreciation and amortization are also subject to impairment testing, provided that an event or change in the circumstances indicates that the amounts in the accounting records may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the book value of the asset over its recoverable amount.

For assets other than goodwill, the Group annually assesses whether there is any indication that a previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. Should such indications exist, the recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher between the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit less costs of sales and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate any cash inflows that are clearly independent from other assets or groups of assets.

In evaluating value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment, the value of money over time and the specific asset risks.

Impairment losses from continuing operations are recognized with a debit to profit or loss in the categories of expenses associated with the impaired asset function.

For assets other than goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is only reversed if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last time an impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying value of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. This increased amount cannot exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if an asset impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years. This reversal is recognized with a credit to profit or loss.

Assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually.

3.25 Minimum<br> dividend

As required by Chilean law and regulations, the dividend policy is decided upon from time to time by the Board of Directors and is announced at the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, which is generally held in April of each year. Shareholder’s approval of the dividend policy is not required. However, each year the Board must submit the declaration of the final dividend or dividends in respect of the preceding year, consistent with the then-established dividend policy, to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting for approval. As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the holders of issued shares, the Company must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our consolidated net income for that year (determined in accordance with CMF regulations), unless and to the extent there is a deficit in retained earnings. (See Note 20.5).

3.26 Earnings<br> per share
--- ---

The basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to the ordinary owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

For the period from April to <br> June  of the year
Earnings per Share 2022 2023 2022
Profit attributable to the owners of the parent (ThUS) 1,330,122 1,655,380 580,227 859,261
Weighted average number of shares 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456
Basic earnings per share (US) 4.6567 5.7954 2.0313 3.0082
Profit attributable to the owners of the parent (ThUS) 1,330,122 1,655,380 580,227 859,261
Weighted average number of shares 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456
Diluted earnings per share (US) 4.6567 5.7954 2.0313 3.0082
Serie A common share 142,819,552 142,819,552 142,819,552 142,819,552
Serie B common share 142,818,904 142,818,904 142,818,904 142,818,904
Total weighted average number of share 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456 285,638,456

All values are in US Dollars.

The Company has no instruments that could potentially dilute earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

3.27 Other<br> provisions

Provisions are recognized when:

· The<br> Company has a present, legal or constructive obligation as the result of a past event.
· It<br> is more likely than not that certain resources must be used, to settle the obligation.
--- ---
· A<br> reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
--- ---

In the event that the provision or a portion of it is reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset solely if there is certainty of income.

In the consolidated statement of income, the expense for any provision is presented net of any reimbursement.

Should the effect of the value of money over time be significant, provisions are discounted using a discount rate before tax that reflects the liability’s specific risks. When a discount rate is used, the increase in the provision over time is recognized as a finance cost.

The Company’s policy is to maintain provisions to cover risks and expenses based on a better estimate to deal with possible or certain and quantifiable responsibilities from current litigation, compensations or obligations, pending expenses for which the amount has not yet been determined, collaterals and other similar guarantees for which the Company is responsible. These are recorded at the time the responsibility or the obligation that determines the compensation or payment is generated.

3.28 Obligations<br> related to employee termination benefits and pension commitments

Obligations towards the Company’s employees comply with the provisions of the collective bargaining agreements in force, which are formalized through collective employment agreements and individual employment contracts, except for the United States which is detailed in Note 18.4.

These obligations are measured using actuarial calculations, according to the projected unit credit method which considers such assumptions as the mortality rate, employee turnover, interest rates, retirement dates, effects related to increases in employees’ salaries, as well as the effects on variations in services derived from variations in the inflation rate.

32
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2023

Actuarial gains and losses that may be generated by variations in defined, pre-established obligations are directly recorded in “Other Comprehensive Income”.

Actuarial losses and gains have their origin in deviations between the estimate and the actual behavior of actuarial assumptions or in the reformulation of established actuarial assumptions.

The Company’s subsidiary SQM North America has established pension plans for its retired employees that are calculated by measuring the projected obligation using a net salary progressive rate net of adjustments for inflation, mortality and turnover assumptions, deducting the resulting amounts at present value. The net balance of this obligation is presented under the “Non-Current Provisions for Employee Benefits” (refer to Note 18.4).

3.29 Compensation<br> plans

Compensation plans implemented through benefits provided in share-based payments settled in cash are recognized in the financial statements at their fair value, in accordance with IFRS 2. Changes in the fair value of options granted are recognized with a charge to payroll in the results for the period (see Note 18.6).

3.30 Revenue<br> recognition

Revenue includes the fair value of considerations received or receivable for the sale of goods and services during the performance of the Company’s activities. Revenue is presented net of value added tax, estimated returns, rebates and discounts and after the elimination of sales among subsidiaries.

Revenues are recognized when the specific conditions for each income stream are met, as follows:

(a)      Sale of goods

The sale of goods is recognized when the Company has delivered products to the customer, and there is no obligation pending compliance that could affect the acceptance of products by the customer. The delivery does not occur until products have been shipped to the customer or confirmed as received by the customer, and the related risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the conditions established in the sale, when the acceptance period has ended, or when there is objective evidence that those criteria required for acceptance have been met.

Sales are recognized in consideration of the price set in the sales agreement, net of volume discounts and estimated returns at the date of the sale. Volume discounts are evaluated in consideration of annual foreseen purchases and in accordance with the criteria defined in agreements.

(b)     Sale of services

Revenue associated with the rendering of services is recognized considering the degree of completion of the service as of the date of presentation of the consolidated classified statement of financial position, provided that the result from the transaction can be estimated reliably.

(c)      Income from dividends

Income from dividends is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.

3.31 Finance<br> income and finance costs

Finance income is mainly composed of interest income from financial instruments such as term deposits and mutual fund deposits. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Finance costs are mainly composed of interest on bank borrowing, interest on bonds issued less interest capitalized for borrowing costs for the acquisition, construction or production or qualifying assets. Borrowing costs and bonds issued are also recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

33
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2023
3.32 Current<br> income tax and deferred
--- ---

Corporate income tax for the year is determined as the sum of current and deferred income taxes from the different consolidated companies.

Current taxes are based on the application of the various types of taxes attributable to taxable income for the period. The Company periodically assesses the positions taken in the determination of taxes with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. A provision is created if it is probable that a payment will be required to a taxation authority. The Company measures its tax balances based on the most probable amount or expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of uncertainty.

Differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax basis generate the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are calculated using the tax rates expected to be applicable when the assets and liabilities are realized.

In conformity with current tax regulations, the provision for corporate income tax and taxes on mining activity is recognized on an accrual basis, presenting the net balances of accumulated monthly tax provisional payments for the fiscal period and associated credits. The balances of these accounts are presented in current income taxes recoverable or current taxes payable, as applicable.

Income tax and variations in deferred tax assets or liabilities that are not the result of business combinations are recorded in income or equity, considering the origin of the gains or losses which have generated them.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that future taxable profits are expected to absorb them.

With respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized solely provided that it is more likely than not that the temporary differences will be reversed in the near future and that there will be taxable income with which they may be used. The deferred taxes related to items directly recognized in equity is recorded with effect on other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally receivable right of offsetting tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax is related to the same tax entity and authority.

The recognized deferred tax assets refer to the amount of income tax to recover in future periods, related to:

a) deductible<br> temporary differences;
b) compensation<br> for losses obtained in prior periods, which have not yet been subject to tax deduction;<br> and
--- ---
c) compensation<br> for unused credits from prior periods.
--- ---

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets when it has the certainty that they can be offset with tax income from subsequent periods, unused tax losses or credits to date, but only when this availability of future tax income is probable and can be used for offsetting these unused tax losses or credits.

The recognized deferred tax liabilities refer to the amount of income tax to pay in a future period, related to taxable temporary differences.

The Company does not recognize deferred tax liabilities in all cases of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, or with joint ventures, because based on the standard, the two following conditions both apply:

(i) the<br> parent company, investor or shareholder is capable of controlling the moment of the reversal<br> of temporary differences; and
(ii) it<br> is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
--- ---
34
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2023

Moreover, the Company does not recognize deferred tax assets for all the deductible temporary differences that originate from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, or from joint ventures, because it is unlikely that they meet the following requirements:

(i) temporary<br> differences are reversed in the foreseeable future; and
(ii) there<br> is taxable profit available against which temporary differences can be used.
--- ---
3.33 Operating<br> segment reporting
--- ---

IFRS 8 requires that companies adopt a management approach to disclose information on the operations generated by its operating segments. In general, this is the information that management uses internally for the evaluation of segment performance and making the decision on how to allocate resources for this purpose.

An operating segment is a group of assets and operations responsible for providing products or services subject to risks and performance that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is responsible for providing products or services in a given economic environment subject to risks and performance that are different from those of other segments operating in other economic environments.

Allocation of assets and liabilities, to each segment is not possible given that these are associated with more than one segment, except for depreciation, amortization and impairment of assets, which are directly allocated in accordance with the criteria established in the costing process for product inventories to the corresponding segments.

3.34 Primary<br> accounting criteria, estimates and assumptions

Management is responsible for the information contained in these consolidated annual accounts, which expressly indicate that all the principles and criteria included in IFRS, as issued by the IASB, have been applied in full.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, management has made significant judgments and estimates to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments included therein. Basically, these estimates refer to:

· Estimated<br> useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and take into<br> consideration the expected physical life of the asset, the potential for technological<br> obsolescence, and regulations. (See Notes 3.21, 15 and 16).
· Impairment<br> losses of certain assets - Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful<br> life are not amortized and are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently<br> if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that these may have deteriorated Other<br> assets, including property, plant and equipment, exploration assets, goodwill and intangible<br> assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate<br> that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. If an impairment assessment<br> is required, the assessment of fair value or value in use often requires estimates and<br> assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital<br> requirements and future operating performance. Changes in such estimates could impact<br> the recoverable values of these assets. Estimates are reviewed regularly by management<br> (See Notes 15 and 16).
--- ---
· Assumptions<br> used in calculating the actuarial amount of pension-related and severance indemnity payment<br> benefit commitments (See Note 18).
--- ---
· Contingencies<br> – The amount recognized as a provision, including legal, contractual, constructive<br> and other exposures or obligations, is the best estimate of the consideration required<br> to settle the related liability, including any related interest charges, considering<br> the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. In addition, contingencies will<br> only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Therefore, the<br> assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment<br> and estimates of the outcome of future events. The Company assesses its liabilities and<br> contingencies based upon the best information available, relevant tax laws and other<br> appropriate requirements (See Note 21).

4.1 Financial<br> risk management policy
--- ---

The Company’s financial risk management policy is focused on safeguarding the stability and sustainability of the Company and its subsidiaries with regard to all such relevant financial uncertainty components.

The Company’s operations are subject to certain financial risk factors that may affect its financial position or results. The most significant risk exposures are market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk, among others.

There could also be additional risks, which are either unknown or known but not currently deemed to be significant, which could also affect the Company’s business operations, its business, financial position, or profit or loss.

The financial risk management structure includes identifying, determining, analyzing, quantifying, measuring and controlling these events. Management and in particular, Finance Management, is responsible for constantly assessing the financial risk.

4.2 Risk<br> Factors
(a) Credit<br> risk
--- ---

A global economic contraction may have potentially negative effects on the financial assets of the Company, which are primarily made up of financial investments and trade receivables, and the impact on of our customers could extend the payment terms of the Company’s receivables by increasing its exposure to credit risk. Although measures are taken to minimize the risk, this global economic situation could mean losses with adverse material effects on the business, financial position or profit and loss of the Company’s operations.

Trade receivables: to mitigate credit risk, the Company maintains active control of collection and requires the use of credit insurance. Credit insurance covers the risk of insolvency and unpaid invoices corresponding to 80% of all receivables with third parties. The credit risk associated with receivables is analyzed in Note 13.2 b) and the related accounting policy can be found in Note 3.6.

Bank promissory notes: These are negotiable promissory notes issued by a bank payable upon maturity at the request of customers to guarantee collection. These notes are accepted based on the credit quality of the issuing banks.

Concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade receivables are reduced, owing to the Company’s large number of clients and their distribution around the globe.

No significant modifications have been made during the period to risk models or parameters used in comparison to June 30, 2023, and no modifications have been made to contractual cash flows that have been significant during this period. In December 2022, cash flows received from insurance claims were included in the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts as compared with prior periods. The effect of this change was not significant to the overall financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Financial investments: correspond to time deposits whose maturity date is greater than 90 days and less than 360 days from the date of investment, so they are not exposed to excessive market risks. The counterparty risk in implementation of financial operations is assessed on an ongoing basis for all financial institutions in which the Company holds financial investments.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br><br> June 30, 2023
(b) Exchange<br> risk
--- ---

The functional currency of the company is the US dollar, due to its influence on the determination of price levels, its relation to the cost of sales and considering that a significant part of the Company’s business is conducted in this currency. However, the global nature of the Company’s business generates an exposure to exchange rate variations of several currencies with the US dollar. Therefore, the Company maintains hedge contracts to mitigate the exposure generated by its main mismatches (net between assets and liabilities) in currencies other than the US dollar against the exchange rate variation, updating these contracts periodically depending on the amount of mismatching to be covered in these currencies. Occasionally, subject to the approval of the Board, the Company ensures short-term cash flows from certain specific line items in currencies other than the US dollar.

A significant portion of the Company’s costs, especially salary payments, is associated with the Peso. Therefore, an increase or decrease in its exchange rate with the US dollar will provoke a respective decrease or increase to these accounting costs, which would be reflected in the Company’s profit and loss. By the second quarter of 2023, approximately US$433 million accumulated in expenses are associated with the Peso.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held derivative instruments classified as hedges of foreign exchange risks associated with 100% of all the bond obligations denominated in UF, for a net asset fair value of US$56.73 million, this significant variation is explained primarily by the USD/CLP exchange rate observed at the end of the period. As of December 31, 2022, this value corresponds to a net liability amounting US$ 11.73 million.

Furthermore, on of June 30, 2023, the Company held derivative instruments classified as hedges of foreign exchange risks associated with 100% of all nominative term deposits in UF and in pesos, at a net liabilities fair value of US 5.54 million. As of December 31, 2022, a net assets fair value was recognized for an amount of US$29.98 million of net liabilities.

The Company contracted derivatives classified as foreign exchange hedges for all the expected disbursements in Australian dollars for the Mt Holland project (See note 9.5), to hedge its exposure to cash flow variations. The fair value of this hedge was a net asset of US$ 2.96 million as of June 30, 2023.

The Company had the following derivative contracts as of June 30, 2023 (at the absolute value of the sum of their notional values), to hedge the difference between its assets and liabilities: US$ 108.20 million CLP/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 24.51 million Euro/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 19.76 million in South African rand/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 579.87 million in Chinese renminbi/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 76.52 million in Australian dollar/US dollar derivative contracts and US$ 6.96 million in other currencies..

These derivative contracts are held with domestic and foreign banks, which have the following credit ratings as of June 30, 2023.

(c) Interest rate risk
--- ---

Interest rate fluctuations, primarily due to the uncertain future behavior of markets, may have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. Significant increases in the rate could make it difficult to access financing at attractive rates for the Company’s investment projects.

The Company maintains current and non-current financial debt at fixed rates and SOFR rate plus spread.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has 8.9% of its financial liabilities subject to variations in the SOFR rate.

(d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the funds needed to comply with payment obligations. The Company’s objective is to maintain financial flexibility through a comfortable balance between fund requirements and cash flows from regular business operations, bank borrowings, bonds, short term investments and marketable securities, among others. For this purpose, the Company keeps a high liquidity ratio^1^, which enables it to cover current obligations with clearance. (As of June 30, 2023, this was 2.39 and 2.29 for December 31, 2022).

The Company has an important capital expense program which is subject to change over time.

On the other hand, world financial markets go through periods of contraction and expansion that are unforeseeable in the long-term and may affect The Company’s access to financial resources. Such factors may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

The Company constantly monitors the matching of its obligations with its investments, taking due care of maturities of both, from a conservative perspective, as part of this financial risk management strategy. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unused, available revolving credit facilities with banks, for a total of US$951 million.

Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid mutual funds with an AAA risk rating.

Pursuant to Article 99 of the Securities Market Law, the CMF may determine that a company does not have a controlling entity in accordance with the distribution and dispersion of its ownership. On November 30, 2018, the CMF issued the ordinary letter No. 32,131 whereby it determined that the Pampa Group do not exert decisive power over the management of the Company since it does not have a predominance in the ownership that allows it to make management decisions. Therefore, the CMF has determined not to consider Pampa Group the controlling entity of the Company and that the Company does not have a controlling entity given its current ownership structure.

Effectiveness

The Company uses CCS, Forwards and IRSW to hedge the potential financial risk associated with exchange rate and interest rate volatility. The objective is to hedge the exchange rate and inflation financial risks associated with bond obligations, exchange rate financial risks associated with investments in Chilean pesos, exchange rate financial risk associated with projects under construction in Australian dollars and interest rate financial risk associated with bank loans. Hedges are documented and qualitatively assessed to demonstrate their effectiveness based on a comparison of their critical terms.

The hedges used by the Company as of the reporting date are highly effective given that the amounts, currencies, exchange dates and rates of the hedged item and the hedge are aligned, maintaining a close economic relationship.

13.7 Fair value measurement of finance assets and liabilities
--- ---

The fair value hierarchy is detailed as follows:

(a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly<br> traded derivatives, and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end<br> of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the<br> Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
(b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market<br> (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques<br> which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific<br> estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable,<br> the instrument is included in level 2.
--- ---
(c) Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data,<br> the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

(b) The<br>Company does not estimate any significant future cash outflows that would potentially expose the Company, and these are likewise<br>not reflected in the measurement of lease liabilities, related to concepts such as: (i) Variable lease payments, (ii) Expansion<br>options and termination options, (iii) Guaranteed residual value and (iv) Leases not yet undertaken but committed by the Company.

(c) These<br>are not subject to restrictions or agreements imposed by contracts.

Mineral resource exploration and evaluationexpenditure

Given the nature of operations of the Company and the type of exploration it undertakes, disbursements for exploration can be found in 4 stages: Execution, economically feasible, not economically feasible and in exploitation:

(a)            Not economically feasible: Exploration and evaluation disbursements, once finalized and concluded to be not economically feasible, will be charged to profit and loss. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no disbursements for this concept.

(b)            Execution: Disbursements for exploration and evaluation under implementation and therefore prior to determination of economic feasibility, are presented as part of property, plant and equipment as constructions in progress.

18.2 Policies on defined benefit plan

This policy is applied to all benefits received for services provided by the Company’s employees. This is divided as follows:

a) Short-term<br> benefits for active employees are represented by salaries, social welfare benefits, paid<br> time off, sickness and other types of leave, profit sharing and incentives and non-monetary<br> benefits; e.g., healthcare service, housing, subsidized or free goods or services. These<br> will be paid in a term which does not exceed twelve months. The Company maintains incentive<br> programs for its employees, which are calculated based on the net result at the close<br> of each period by applying a factor obtained from an evaluation based on their personal<br> performance, the Company’s performance and other short-term and long-term indicators.
b) Staff<br> severance indemnities are agreed and payable based on the final salary, calculated in<br> accordance with each year of service to the Company, with certain maximum limits in respect<br> of either the number of years or in monetary terms. In general, this benefit is payable<br> when the employee or worker ceases to provide his/her services to the Company and there<br> are a number of different circumstances through which a person can be eligible for it,<br> as indicated in the respective agreements; e.g. retirement, dismissal, voluntary retirement,<br> incapacity or disability, death, etc. See Note 18.3.

c) Obligations<br> after employee retirement, described in Note 18.4.

d) Retention<br> bonuses for a group of Company executives, described in Note 18.6.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br><br> June 30, 2023
18.3 Other long-term benefits
--- ---

The actuarial assessment method has been used to calculate the Company’s obligations with respect to staff severance indemnities, which relate to defined benefit plans consisting of days of remuneration per year served at the time of retirement under conditions agreed in the respective agreements established between the Company and its employees.

Under this benefit plan, the Company retains the obligation to pay staff severance indemnities related to retirement, without establishing a separate fund with specific assets, which is referred to as not funded.

Benefit payment conditions

The staff severance indemnity benefit relates to remuneration days for years worked for the Company without a limit being imposed in regard of amount of salary or years of service. It applies when employees cease to work for the Company because they are made redundant or in the event of their death. This benefit is applicable up to a maximum age of 65 for men and 60 for women, which are the usual retirement ages according to the Chilean pensions system as established in Decree Law 3,500 of 1980.

Methodology

The determination of the defined benefit obligation is made under the requirements of IAS 19 “Employee benefits”.

18.4 Post-employment benefit obligations

Our subsidiary SQM NA, together with its employees established a pension plan until 2002 called the “SQM North America Retirement Income Plan”. This obligation is calculated measuring the expected future forecast staff severance indemnity obligation using a net salary gradual rate of restatements for inflation, mortality and turnover assumptions, discounting the resulting amounts at present value using the interest rate defined by the authorities.

For workers under contract, since 2003, SQM NA offers benefits related to pension plans based on the 401-K system to its employees, which does not generate obligations for the Company.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the value of assets associated with the SQM NA pension plan amounts to ThUS$4,703.

(1) Payment Obligations for the lease contract with CORFO: These correspond to obligations assumed in the Lease Agreement. Our subsidiary SQM Salar holds exclusive rights to exploit the mineral resources in an area covering approximately 140,000 hectares of land in the Salar de Atacama in northern Chile, of which SQM Salar is only entitled to exploit the mineral resources in 81,920 hectares. These rights are owned by Corfo and leased to SQM Salar pursuant to the Lease Agreement. Corfo cannot unilaterally amend the Lease Agreement and the Project Agreement, and the rights to exploit the resources cannot be transferred. The Lease Agreement establishes that SQM Salar is responsible for making quarterly lease payments to Corfo according to specified percentages of the value of production of minerals extracted from the Salar de Atacama brines, maintaining Corfo’s rights over the Mining Exploitation Concessions and making annual payments to the Chilean government for such concession rights. The Lease Agreement was entered into in 1993 and expires on December 31, 2030. On January 17, 2018, SQM and CORFO reached an agreement to end an arbitration process directed by the arbitrator, Mr. Héctor Humeres Noguer, in case 1954-2014 of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of Santiago Chamber of Commerce and other cases related to it.

The agreement signed in January 2018, includes important amendments to the lease agreement and project agreement signed between CORFO and SQM in 1993. The main modifications became effective on April 10, 2018 and require (i) higher lease payments as a result of increased lease rates associated with the sale of the different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride; (ii) SQM Salar commits to contribute between US$10.8 and US$18.9 million per year to research and development efforts, between US$10 and US$15 million per year to the communities near the Salar de Atacama basin, and to annually contribute 1.7% of SQM Salar’s total annual sales to regional development; (iii) Corfo authorization for CCHEN to establish a total production and sales limit for lithium products produced in the Salar de Atacama of up to 349,553 metric tons of lithium metal equivalent (1,860,671 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent), which is in addition to the approximately 64,816 metric tons of lithium metal equivalent (345,015 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent) remaining from the originally authorized amount; (iv) provisions relating to the return of real estate and movable property leased to Corfo, the transfer of environmental permits to Corfo at no cost and the granting of purchase options to Corfo for production facilities and water rights in the Salar de Atacama upon termination of Corfo agreements; and (v) prohibitions on the sale of lithium brine extracted from leased mining concessions.

20.1 Capital management

The main object of capital management relative to the administration of the Company’s financial debt and equity is to ensure the regular conduct of operations and business continuity in the long term, with the constant intention of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and in compliance with the financial safeguards established in the debt contracts in force. Within this framework, decisions are made in order to maximize the value of the company.

Capital management must comply with, among others, the limits contemplated in the Financing Policy approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting, which establishes a maximum consolidated indebtedness level of 1.5 times the debt to equity ratio. This limit can be exceeded only if the Company’s management has first obtained express approval at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

The Company’s controls over capital management are based on the following ratios:

20.5 Dividend policies

As required by Article 79 of the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the holders of issued and subscribed shares, a publicly traded corporation must annually distribute a cash dividend to its shareholders, prorated based on their shares or the proportion established in the company’s bylaws if there are preferred shares, with at least 30% of our consolidated profit for each year.

Dividend policy for commercial year 2023

Company’s dividend policy for the 2023 business year was agreed upon by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2023. On that occasion, the following was decided:

(a) Distribute and pay to the corresponding shareholders, a percentage of the net income that shall<br>be determined per the following financial parameters as a final dividend:
(i) 100% of the profit for 2023 if all the following financial parameters are met: (a) “all current<br>assets” divided by “all current liabilities” is equal to or greater than 2.5 times, and (b) the sum of “all<br>current liabilities” and “all non-current liabilities”, less “cash equivalents”, less “other<br>current financial assets”, all of the above divided by “total equity” in equal or less than 0.8 times.
--- ---
(ii) 80% of the profit for 2023 if all the following financial parameters are met: (a) “all current<br>assets” divided by “all current liabilities” is equal to or greater than 2.0 times, and (b) the sum of “all<br>current liabilities” and “all non-current liabilities”, less “cash equivalents”, less “other<br>current financial assets”, all of the above divided by “total equity” in equal or less than 0.9 times.
--- ---
(iii) 60% of the profit for 2023 if all the following financial parameters are met: (a) “all current<br>assets” divided by “all current liabilities” is equal to or greater than 1.5 times, and (b) the sum of “all<br>current liabilities” and “all non-current liabilities”, less “cash equivalents”, less “other<br>current financial assets”, all of the above divided by “total equity” in equal or less than 1.0 times.
--- ---

If none of the foregoing financial parameters are met, the Company shall distribute and pay, as a final dividend, and in favor of the respective shareholders, 50% of the 2023 net income.

136
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements<br><br> <br>June 30, 2023
(b) Distribute and pay in 2023 interim dividends, which will be charged against the aforementioned<br>final dividend.
--- ---
(c) The amount of the provisional dividends may be higher or lower, provided that, based on the information<br>available to the Board of Directors on the date when their distribution is agreed to, this will not have a negative or material<br>effect on the Company's ability to carry out its investments, meet its obligations, and in general to comply with the investment<br>and financing policy approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.
--- ---
(d) At the ordinary meeting to be held in 2024, the Company's Board of Directors will propose a final<br>dividend in line with the percentage corresponding to the financial parameters outlined in (a) above, discounting the provisional<br>dividends previously distributed in 2023.
--- ---
(e) Any remaining amount from the net profits from 2023 can be retained and used to finance the Company’s<br>own operations or one or more of its investment projects, notwithstanding a possible distribution of dividends charged to accumulated<br>profit that might be approved by the shareholders’ meeting or the possible future capitalization of all or part of it.
--- ---
(f) The payment of additional dividends is not being considered.
--- ---

It must be expressly stated that this dividends policy details the intention of the Company’s Board of Directors and its fulfillment depends on the actual profits obtained, as well as on the results indicated by the projections the Company makes from time to time or on the existence of particular conditions, as appropriate. In any case, if the dividend policy set forth by the Board of Directors should undergo any substantial change, the Company must communicate it as a material event.

20.6 Interim and provisional dividends

On April 26, 2023, the Board of Directors agreed to pay a final dividend equivalent to US$ 3.22373 per share which the Company must pay to reach the amount of US$10.94060 for the final dividend as per the Policy. This final dividend already considers the first interim dividend of US$ 2.78716 per share, the second interim dividend of US$ 1.84914 per share, and the eventual dividend of US$ 3.08056 per share that were paid in 2022.

The Company and its subsidiaries have been involved and will probably continue to be involved either as plaintiffs or defendants in certain judicial proceedings that have been and will be heard by the arbitration or ordinary courts of justice that will make the final decision. Those proceedings that are regulated by the appropriate legal regulations are intended to exercise or oppose certain actions or exceptions related to certain mining claims either granted or to be granted and that do not or will not affect in an essential manner the development of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Soquimich Comercial S.A. has been involved and will probably continue being involved either as plaintiff or defendant in certain judicial proceedings through which it intends to collect and receive the amounts owed, the total nominal value of which is approximately US$ 1.05 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries have made efforts and continues making efforts to obtain payment of certain amounts that are still owed to the Company due to its activities. Such amounts will continue to be required using judicial or non-judicial means by the plaintiffs, and the actions and exercise related to these are currently in full force and effect.

21.2 Environmental contingencies

The SMA issued a resolution dated November 28, 2016, rectified by a resolution dated December 23, 2016, which filed charges against SQM Salar for brine extraction in excess of authorized amounts, progressive impairment of the vitality of carob trees, providing incomplete information modification of follow-up plan variables, and other charges. SQM Salar S.A. presented a compliance program that was accepted by the SMA. On December 2019, the Environmental Court of Antofagasta rendered the accepted compliance program null. In October 2020, the SMA formulated new observations for the compliance program, which will enable the incorporation of improvements in line with the ruling of the Environmental Court of Antofagasta. On August 29, 2022, the SMA approved the compliance program presented by SQM Salar, which triggered an appeal filed by the Council of Atacameño Peoples before the Environmental Court of Antofagasta. The Atacameño communities of Peine and Coyo filed requests for injunction against SMA’s resolution, which have been dismissed by the Supreme Court. If the Council of Atacameño Peoples’ claim against SMA’s resolution that approved the compliance program is accepted and the program is annulled, the sanction process against SQM Salar could be resumed. This latter event may consider the application of fines up to ThUS$ 9, temporary or permanent closure of facilities and in extreme circumstances, revocation of the respective environmental permit.

The amount<br> in dispute is ThUS$ 36.8, where (i) ThUS$ 9.8 is overpaid taxes, and (ii) ThUS$ 27.0<br> is tax claimed net of corporate income tax. The trial is currently at the discussion<br> stage.
--- ---

The assessments and pending claims are as follows:

On April 17, 2023, the IRS assessed differences for the tax years 2020 to 2022 (business years 2019 to 2021) with respect to specific mining tax of ThUS$ 74.2, which includes overpaid taxes of ThUS$ 20.0. The IRS issued resolution 56/2023 for ThUS$ 20.7 for the tax years 2020 and 2021, where ThUS$ 5.6 is overpaid taxes, and ThUS$ 15.1 is tax claimed net of corporate income tax. On the same date, the IRS issued assessment 1/2023 for the tax year 2022 that totals ThUS$ 53.5, restated as of the date of payment, where ThUS$ 14.4 is overpaid taxes, ThUS$ 36.1 is tax claimed net of corporate income tax, and ThUS$ 3.0 is associated interest and penalties.

The IRS has not issued an assessment claiming differences in specific mining tax filed for business years 2022 onward. If the IRS uses criteria similar to that used in previous years, it may issue an assessment in the future for this period. The Company estimates a potential assessment of US$ 878 million (corporate income tax deducted) by the IRS, without considering interests and fines.

Note 23 Reportable segments
--- ---
23.1 Reportable segments
--- ---
(a) General information:
--- ---

The amount of each item presented in each operating segment is equal to that reported to the highest authority that makes decisions regarding the operation, in order to decide on the allocation of resources to the defined segments and to assess its performance.

These operating segments mentioned are consistent with the way the Company is managed and how results will be reported by the Company. These segments reflect separate operating results that are regularly reviewed by the executive responsible for operational decisions in order to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance (See Note 23.2).

The performance of each segment is measured based on net income and revenues. Inter-segment sales are made using terms and conditions at current market rates.

(b) Factors used to identify segments on which a report should be presented:

The segments covered in the report are strategic business units that offer different products and services. These are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

(c) Description of the types of products and services from which each reportable segment obtainsits income from ordinary activities

The operating segments as follows:

(i) Specialty plant nutrients
(ii) Iodine and its derivatives
--- ---
(iii) Lithium and its derivatives
--- ---
(iv) Industrial chemicals
--- ---
(v) Potassium
--- ---
(vi) Other products and services
--- ---
(d) Description of income sources for all the other segments
--- ---

Information regarding assets, liabilities, profits and expenses that cannot be assigned to the segments indicated above, due to the nature of production processes, is included under the “Unallocated amounts” category of the disclosed information.

151
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements  June 30, 2023
(e) Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of results of reportablesegments and the result of the entity before the expense or income tax expense of incomes and discontinued operations
--- ---

The information reported in the segments is extracted from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and therefore there is no need to prepare reconciliations between the data mentioned above and those reported in the respective segments, according to what is stated in paragraph 28 of IFRS 8, “Operating Segments”.

For the allocation of inventory valuation costs, we identify the direct expenses (can be directly allocated to products) and the common expenses (belong to coproduction processes, for example common leaching expenses for production of Iodine and Nitrates), Direct costs are directly allocated to the product and the common costs are distributed according to percentages that consider different variables in their determination, such as margins, rotation of inventories, revenue, production etc.

The allocation of other common costs that are not included in the inventory valuation process, but go straight to the cost of sales, use similar criteria: the costs associated with a product or sales in particular are assigned to that particular product or sales, and the common costs associated with different products or business lines are allocated according to the sales.

(f) Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of assets of reportablesegments and the Company´s assets

Assets are not shown classified by segments, as this information is not readily available, some of these assets are not separable by the type of activity by which they are affected since this information is not used by management in decision-making with respect to resources to be allocated to each defined segment. All assets are disclosed in the “unallocated amounts” category.

(g) Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of liabilities of reportablesegments and the Company’s liabilities

Liabilities are not shown classified by segments, as this information is not readily available, some of these liabilities are not separable by the type of activity by which they are affected, since this information is not used by management in decision-making regarding resources to be allocated to each defined segment. All liabilities are disclosed in the “unallocated amounts” category.

(i)        Explanation of the relationship between (expense) benefit for tax purposes and accounting income.

Based on IAS 12, paragraph 81, letter “c”, the company has estimated that the method that discloses the most significant information for users of the financial statements is the numeric conciliation between the tax benefit (expense) and the result of multiplying the accounting profit by the current rate in Chile. The aforementioned choice is based on the fact that the Company and subsidiaries established in Chile generate a large part of the Company’s tax benefit (expense). The amounts provided by subsidiaries established outside Chile have no relative importance in the overall context.
