Buenaventura Announces
First Quarter 2020 Results

Lima, Peru, May 18, 2020 – Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the first quarter 2020. All figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on a non-GAAP basis and are stated in U.S. dollars (US$).

First Quarter 2020 Highlights:

1Q20 results were adversely impacted by the State of Emergency and related mandated lockdown instituted by the Peruvian Government in order to contain the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Peru and the related restrictions imposed, Buenaventura was unable to produce for 17% of the first quarter 2020 (please refer to page 2 for related details).

1Q20 EBITDA from direct operations was negative US$ 6.8 million, compared to US$ 28.4 million reported in 1Q19.

1Q20 Adjusted EBITDA including associated companies reached US$ 30.6 million, compared to US$ 167.6 million in 1Q19.

1Q20 capital expenditures were US$ 10.0 million, compared to US$ 8.5 million for the same period in 2019.

1Q20 net loss was US$ 75.0 million, compared to a net income of US$ 27.3 million for the same period in 2019. The loss in 1Q20 considers COVID-19 related provisions of US$10.7 million.

The Company´s De-Bottlenecking Program continued progressing during the 1Q20. During 2020, the program focus is on the Company’s Tambomayo, Uchucchacua and El Brocal mines (please refer to page 7 for related details).

Buenaventura’s 1Q20 cash position reached US$ 222 million; a sequential increase compared to its 4Q19 cash position of US$ 210 million despite Buenaventura’s inability to produce during the last weeks of March due to the government-mandated lockdown.

On April 3, 2020, the Company announced the successful refinancing of its US$ 275 million syndicated loan facility. Maturity for the new loan facility has been set for a new five-year term loan with a 30-month grace period, with semi-annual installments starting in October 2022.

An updated guidance will be reported once we achieve full capacity of production in all of our operations. The updated guidance is expected to be reported by the end of June.

COVID - 19
 

The quarantine period in Peru was implemented starting on March 16, 2020 for an initial 15-day period, which was subsequently extended several times. As of the date of this report, Peru’s government mandated quarantine is expected to end on May 24, 2020.

During the quarantine period, production at Buenaventura’s direct operations has remained on care and maintenance, however, Buenaventura continued to process ore on leach pads at its Coimolache and La Zanja mines. All mining activities were limited to those critical activities which ensured the functionality of mine pumping systems, water treatment plants, energy supply, electric substations, health services as well as to ensure essential plant maintenance, managerial oversight, security and safety conditions, including backfill and general support, among others.

In April 2020, Buenaventura concluded the refinancing of its syndicated loan. The maturity for the new loan facility has been set for a new five-year term loan with a 30-month grace period, with semiannual installments starting in October 2022. The rate has been reduced to Libor (3m) + 190 bps from Libor (3m) + 215 bps.

The Company has a strong cash position of US$ 222 million as of March 2020 with monthly care and maintenance fixed costs between approximately US$ 12 – 14 million. Buenaventura continues monitoring its current sustaining and growth CAPEX, G&A, as well as dividend payments to shareholders with a focus on preserving liquidity.

The Peruvian Government, through a supreme decree, has authorized mining operators to gradually restart key activities, permitting mining companies in Peru to resume operations on May 11, 2020 that were scaled back sharply during the nationwide lockdown.

During this initial trial, companies are obligated to implement strict health and safety protocols approved by the Peruvian Mining Ministry to prevent the spread of infections. Health authorities will also conduct regular inspections in plants and mine sites to monitor compliance.

In order to comply with these new regulations, Buenaventura has elected to restart operations through a two-phased approach, prioritizing those mines with the most significant production. It is important to note that Buenaventura has already presented the required documentation to restart operations at all of its assets. We have already got all the permits to restart operations from the MINEM.

Buenaventura’s two-phased plan:

Phase 1 (initiated on May 16, 2020)
Tambomayo
Uchucchacua
El Brocal (Tajo Norte and Marcapunta)
Coimolache

Phase 2 (will begin on June 16, 2020)
Orcopampa
Julcani
La Zanja

Buenaventura made the decision on March 30, 2020 to suspend guidance for full year 2020. As of today, it is not possible to accurately quantify the full impact of Covid-19 on operations and future performance, making it difficult to estimate results for the full year. However, the Company continues to enhance its current mining plans in order to focus on high-grade areas while maintaining a focus on exploration and cost reduction efforts.

The Company will therefore report updated guidance once all operations have achieved full capacity and with more clarity related to full year 2020 results. As has been illustrated in the two-phased plan described above, Buenaventura expects to achieve full capacity by the end of June.

 Operating Revenues
 

1Q20 net sales were US$ 108.8 million, compared to US$ 180.6 million reported in 1Q19. This was primarily due to a 43% year on year decrease in volumes sold of gold, a 20% year on year decrease in volumes sold of lead and a 14% year on year decrease in volumes sold of silver.

Royalty income increased 5% in the 1Q20 to US$ 5.7 million, from US$ 5.5 million in 1Q19. This was due to a 10% increase in revenues at Yanacocha.

Copper production in 1Q20 increased slightly compared with production reported in 1Q19. 1Q20 zinc production increased by 44% year on year, mainly due to higher ore grade.

As announced on the Company’s most recent operating results issued on April 28, 2020, March copper production reflected an increase as pillars with high content of copper were integrated to El Brocal´s mining plan. We expect to continue this increase once the production restart.

In 1Q20, Zinc Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) decreased by 17% year on year, compared to 2,208 US$/MT in 1Q19, primarily due to more volume sold despite higher commercial deductions. Copper CAS in 1Q20 showed a decrease of 12% compared to 1Q19, mainly due to improved commercial terms.

 De-Bottlenecking Program – 2020 Update
 

Buenaventura’s De-Bottlenecking Program showed strong progress during the quarter, generating additional EBITDA as follows:

Cerro Verde reported a 1Q20 net loss of US$ 60.5 million compared to net income of US$ 200.2 million in 1Q19. This is primarily due to a US$ 431.4 million decrease in net sales primarily attributed to a decrease in the average realized copper price, to US$ 1.95 per pound in the first quarter of 2020 compared to US$ 3.12 per pound in the first quarter of 2019, with reduced sales volumes.

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$ 68.6 million in 1Q20.

*Cerro Verde’s EBITDA now considers D&A related to the capitalization of the stripping.

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

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

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

APPENDIX 4: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

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