Buenaventura Announces Fourth Quarter
and Full Year 2018 Results

Lima, Peru, February 21, 2019 – Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the fourth quarter (4Q18) and twelve-month (FY18) period ended December 31, 2018. 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$).

Fourth Quarter 2018 Highlights:

As, a key initiative, the company is implementing its De-Bottlenecking Program (2018-2020) to increase profitability and strengthen its long term business case. As part of this strategy, Buenaventura has centralized operations, re-focused mining plans on the highest-margin areas and optimized processing facilities. As a consequence, guidance adjustments were made for certain operations. EBITDA generated during 2018 from this program reached US$24 million and during the next conference call we will explain in more detail the program for 2019 (Please see page 8 for related details).
Additionally, with the enhanced methodology of maximizing capital allocation, 2018 capital expenditures were US$ 111.3 million, a significant decrease compared to US$ 259.5 million in 2017.
4Q18 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 68.9 million, compared to US$ 118.9 million reported in 4Q17, primarily due to lower metal prices and a reduction in volume sold at the Company’s Orcopampa and La Zanja mines. 4Q18 Adjusted EBITDA including associated companies reached US$ 148.6 million, compared to US$ 248.4 million in 4Q17.
4Q18 Net Loss was US$ 72.9 million, compared to a net income of US$ 8.3 for the same period in 2017. The loss in 4Q18 was primarily due to Cerro Verde´s recognition of interest and penalties in the amount of $ 406.6 million (100% basis) related to Cerro Verde’s royalty dispute with SUNAT (Please see page 8 for more details).
The Company was compensated through its Business Interruption Insurance related to problems detected in May 2017 at El Brocal’s 20x30 ball mill. During 4Q18, the Company received US$ 28.8 million related to this claim, totaling US$38.8 million.As of December 31, 2018, Buenaventura’s cash position reached US$ 369.2 million, compared to US$ 214.6 million in 2017.
During 2018 the Company’s Net Debt/EBITDA ratio was reduced from 1.40x to 0.99x.
A dividend payment of US$ 0.06 per share/ADS was proposed at the Company’s Board Meeting held on February 21st, 2019.

 Operating Revenues
 

4Q18 net sales were US$ 250.6 million compared to US$ 365.5 million reported in 4Q17. This was primarily due to a 49% YoY decrease in volumes sold of gold and a 17% YoY decrease in silver, as well as due to lower prices for all metals sold.

Royalty income increased 6% in the 4Q18; from US$ 5.1 million in 4Q17 to US$ 5.5 million in 4Q18. This was due to a 6% increase in revenues at Yanacocha.

4Q18 copper production was in line with 4Q17. Zinc production in 4Q18 decreased 18% compared to 4Q17, mainly due to a lower ore grade (a 13% decrease YoY).

In 4Q18, zinc Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) decreased by 18% compared to 2,059 US$/MT, primarily explained by a decrease in commercial deductions. Copper CAS in 4Q18 increased by 7%, reaching 5,842 US$/MT compared to 5,468 US$/MT in 4Q17, mainly due to an increase in volumes of ore treated to offset lower grades.

During 4Q18, the Company received US$ 28.8 million related to this claim. El Brocal received a total of US$ 38.8 million in 2018 related to this issue.

Cerro Verde reported a 4Q18 net loss of US$ 301.1 million compared to net income of US$ 217.6 million in 4Q17. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of interest and penalties of US$ 406.6 million (US$ 79.6 million attributable to Buenaventura) recorded in 4Q18 due to the Royalty Dispute and the decrease in net sales related to a decrease in the average realized copper price ($2.67 per pound in 4Q18 vs $3.46 per pound in 4Q17).

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$ 56.0 million in 4Q18.

Royalty Dispute

In December 2018, Cerro Verde elected not to appeal the Peruvian Tax Tribunal's decision denying Cerro Verde's request to waive penalties and interest related to disputed mining royalty assessments for the period January 2009 through September 2011.

As a result of the decision to not appeal the Tax Tribunal's decision, Cerro Verde recorded pre-tax charges in fourth-quarter 2018 totaling $406.6 million primarily for penalties and interest for the years 2009 through 2013.

APPENDIX 5: 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.
