MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, those set forth in “Forward-looking statements,” “Risk factors” and the other matters set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 on Form 20-F (our “Annual Report”). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the annual and interim financial information of Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. and its subsidiaries (“Buenaventura”), and should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 furnished as Item 2 hereunder.

 

Overview

 

We are Peru’s largest publicly traded precious metals company in terms of market capitalization and we are engaged in the exploration, mining and processing of gold, silver, copper and (to a lesser extent) other metals in Peru. We currently operate the Orcopampa, Uchucchacua, Julcani, Tambomayo and La Zanja mines and have controlling interests in two other mining companies that operate the Colquijirca-Marcapunta and Coimolache mines. We also own an electric power transmission company, a hydroelectric plant and a processing plant, as well as non-controlling interests in several other mining companies, including a significant ownership interest in Cerro Verde, a Peruvian company that operates a copper mine located in the south of Peru. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our consolidated total operating income was US$823.8 million and our consolidated net profit was US$32.7 million. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, our consolidated total operating income was US$855.0 million and our consolidated net profit was US$385.9 million.

 

During the first several decades of our operations, we focused on the exploration and development of silver mines in Peru, including our Julcani, Orcopampa and Uchucchacua mines. Beginning in the early 1980s, we began to explore for gold and other metals in Peru, in order to diversify our business and reduce our dependence on silver. We expanded our mineral reserves through property acquisition and intensive exploration programs which were designed to increase reserves and production of gold. We also conducted exploration leading to the discovery of gold mineralization and subsequent production of gold at our Orcopampa, La Zanja, Breapampa (operation sold in 2017) and Tambomayo mines. In addition, we made significant equity investments in Cerro Verde, which operates an open pit copper mine in Peru, and Coimolache, which owns the Coimolache gold mine that we operate. As a result of these initiatives, the majority of our revenues are now derived from the production of gold, silver and copper.

 

We mainly produce refined gold and silver, either as concentrates or doré bars, and other metals such as lead, zinc and copper as concentrates that we distribute and sell locally and internationally. The following table sets forth the production of the Orcopampa, Tambomayo, Uchucchacua, Julcani, La Zanja and El Brocal (Colquijirca-Marcapunta) mines by type of product for the last three years, calculated in each case on the basis of 100% of the applicable mine’s production. Production from Cerro Verde and Coimolache are not included in these production figures.

(1) The 2% decrease in commercial deductions is mainly due to the net effect of: (1) an increase in deductions from manganese sulfate sales from Yumpag mining unit; and (2) a decrease in deductions related to the reduction of silver/zinc sales, which received significant deductions in 2023, as well as updated commercial terms for copper sales in 2024. Figures correspond to adjustments in price for treatment and refining charges, and can include certain penalties that, in accordance with the applicable contract, are deducted from the international fine metal spot price and incurred after the time of sale of the applicable concentrate.
(2) The 124% increase in the fair value of accounts receivables is mainly due to higher future quotation prices of copper and silver in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023.
(3) The figures are derived from adjustments to final settlements of hedge operations related to open positions that were settled in 2023. Buenaventura has not entered into any hedge contracts in the current period of 2024.

 

Sales of goods increased 52%, from US$559.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$850.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in sales of silver, gold, zinc and lead.

 

Silver sales increased 165% from US$113.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$300.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 due to the start of operations at the Yumpag mining unit, the resumption of operations at the Uchucchacua mining unit, and favorable market price improvements.

 

Gold sales increased 18% from US$197.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$232.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 due to higher recoverability rates at the Río Seco, Julcani and Colquijirca mining units, and an increase in gold market prices.

 

Zinc sales increased 169% from US$17.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$48.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 due to higher sales from Tambomayo and Uchucchacua mining units following the resumption of operations of Uchucchacua, partially offset by lower sales from Colquijirca mining unit as a result of the suspension of activities in the open pit operation.

 

Lead sales increased 180% from US$9.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$27.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 due to higher sales from Uchucchacua mining units following the resumption of its operations, partially offset by lower sales from Colquijirca mining unit as a result of the suspension of activities in the open pit operation.

 

 

 

 

Manganese sulfate sales increased from no sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$2.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 driven by production at the Rio Seco mining unit, which resumed operations in November 2023.

 

Cost of sales

 

Total cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by 7% compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as indicated in the following table:

Cost of sales of goods excluding depreciation and amortization

 

Cost of sales of goods without considering depreciation and amortization increased by 18%, from US$338.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$399.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. This increase is mainly due to costs associated with the resumption and start of operations at the Uchucchacua and Yumpag mining units, partially offset by a cost reduction at the El Brocal mining unit due to lower extraction activities resulting from the suspension of the open pit operation.

 

Unabsorbed cost due to production stoppage

 

Unabsorbed cost due to production stoppage decreased by 90%, from US$18.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$1.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is mainly due to the resumption of operations at the Uchucchacua mining unit.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization charges related to cost of sales decreased by 2% from US$121.8 million loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$119.7 million loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to slightly lower production at the El Brocal mining unit resulting from the suspension of open pit operations, partially offset by higher charges at the Uchucchacua mining unit as a result of the resumption of its operation, and the start of production at the Yumpag mining unit.

 

Exploration in operating units

 

Exploration costs in operational mining sites decreased by 8% from US$39.1 million loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$35.8 million loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, mainly due to reduced exploration activities at the Uchucchacua and Yumpag mining units, totaling US$9.6 million, partially offset by increases of US$3.7 million, US$1.2 million and US$1.0 million at the Julcani, Orcopampa and Tambomayo mining units, respectively.

 

 

 

 

Operating expenses, net

 

Total operating expenses, net for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 decreased by 259% compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as indicated in the following table:

Total operating income (expenses), net   118,992    (74,615)   193,607    (259)%

  

(1) Administrative expenses decreased from US$54.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$45.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to the consolidation of expenses from Contacto Corredores de Seguros S.A. which was part of Buenaventura until November 2023, after which its expenses were no longer included in the consolidated financials.
(2) Selling expenses increased from US$12.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$18.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to increased transport expenses from higher sales following the resumption of operations at the Uchucchacua mining unit, and higher copper transport fares at the Colquijirca mining unit.
(3) Exploration in non-operating areas increased from US$8.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to US$16.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to higher expenses in the Don Jorge and El Faique projects, along with the reclassification of open-pit exploration expenses at the Colquijirca mining unit due to the suspension of open-pit activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
(4) Reversal (provision) of contingents changed from an income of US$5.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to an expense of US$1.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to the reversal of provisions recognized in the prior period related to safety, labor, and tax processes, whereas the current period’s provision mainly includes inspections from regulatory entities.
(5) Other net expenses changed from an expense of US$4.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to an income of US$202.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to the sale of the investment in the subsidiary Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.A.C.

(1) Share in the results of associates and joint ventures increased from an income of US$113.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to an income US$150.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to an increase in the value of shares owned by Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A. and Compañía Minera Coimolache S.A., driven by their higher profits.
(2) The US$4.0 million decrease of the foreign currency exchange difference from an income of US$3.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to an expense of US$0.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is mainly explained by exchange rate fluctuations resulting from macroeconomic and domestic market factors that weakened the Sol currency compared to the U.S. dollar (exchanges rates were 3.790 SOL/US$ and 3.703 SOL/US$ as of September 30, 2023 and 2024; respectively). Furthermore, Buenaventura holds significant receivables in Soles related to tax claims with the tax administration (SUNAT) amounting to S/420,231,000. As of September 30, 2023 and 2024, Buenaventura had no liabilities associated with tax claims.

 

 

 

 

Current and deferred income tax expenses

 

The effective tax rate was 25% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to 5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Changes in the effective tax rate are related to changes in our projections for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Our projections for the years 2024 and 2023 differ mainly as a result of the deferred stripping costs, which were fully amortized in the previous period, forecasted income before taxes, and anticipated exchange differences arising from carried-forward tax losses.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Capital expenditures

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 our total capital expenditures were US$236.8 million.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of US$457.9 million. We believe that our current operations and planned capital expenditures can be funded from cash flows from existing operations and cash on hand. However, should our operating cash flows decline due to unforeseen events, including delivery restrictions or a protracted downturn in the prices of our goods, we would examine measures such as further capital expenditure program reductions, pre-sale agreements, asset dispositions or equity issuances, among other financial alternatives.

 

We will also use cash flows to service current and expected debt levels. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Buenaventura received US$924.8 million from proceeds primarily from sales of goods and services, dividends from associates, and US$210.0 million from the sale of shares of the subsidiary Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.A.C. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Buenaventura received US$686.7 from proceeds primarily from sales of goods and services, and dividends from associates.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was US$308.0 million, representing an increase of 98%, from US$155.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

 

This increase was mainly due to proceeds from higher sales and production by Buenaventura in the current period, the resumption of activities at the Uchucchacua mining unit, and the start of production at the Yumpag mining unit on April 1, 2024. This was partially offset by payments of mining royalties, income taxes and suppliers.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities was US$17.6 million, representing a decrease of 87%, from US$140.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

 

This decrease was mainly due to the cash received from the sale of shares of the subsidiary Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.A.C. for US$210.0 million, which offset the cash outflows related to purchases of property, plant and equipment amounting to US$236.8 million.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities

 

Cash used in financing activities was US$52.2 million and US$46.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in payments is mainly explained by dividends paid to non-controlling interests.

2.Basis for preparation, consolidation and changes in accounting policies

 

2.1.Basis of preparation and presentation -

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 - “Interim Financial Reporting” performed in compliance with the rules of the Superintendence of the Securities Market (SMV by its acronym in Spanish). Likewise, the Group uses the same accounting policies applied in preparing the annual financial statements, except for the income tax expense that is recognized, according to IAS 34, for each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income effective tax rate expected for the full financial year.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, from the accounting records of the Group, except for financial the derivative financial instruments and financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value through profit or loss and discontinued operations that have been valued at the lower of (i) their carrying amount and (ii) its fair value less cost to sell.

 

The Group has prepared the interim condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. Management considers that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over this assumption.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and all values have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements provide comparative information for prior periods, however, do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

 

2.2.New standards and interpretations adopted by the Group -

 

The accounting policies used by the Group for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of the new standards effective from January 1, 2024. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or modification issued and not yet effective.

 

Certain standards and amendments apply from January 1, 2024; however, they do not impact the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of September 30, 2024 and, therefore, they have not been disclosed.

 

Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback -

 

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendments didn’t have an impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current -

 

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

 

·What is meant by a right to defer settlement.
·That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.
·That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.
·That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

 

In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.

 

The amendments didn’t have an impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 -

 

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

 

The transition rules clarify that one entity is not required to present information in any interim period during the amendment’s year of initial application. Therefore, the amendments did not have an impact in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

   For the three-month periods   For the nine-month periods 
   ended September 30,   ended September 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023

(e)Legal reserve –

 

The Peruvian Corporation Law requires that a minimum of 10 percent of the distributable earnings for each period, after deducting the income tax, be transferred to a legal reserve until the latter is equal to 20 percent of the capital stock. This legal reserve can be used to offset losses or may be capitalized, with the obligation, in both cases, to subsequently replenish it.

 

Although the balance of the legal reserve exceeded the limit mentioned above, the Company increased its legal reserve by US$197,000 and US$102,000 in the years 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the expiration of dividends.

17.Hedge derivative financial instruments –

 

Copper and Zinc prices hedge –

 

The volatility of copper prices has caused El Brocal´s management to enter into forward contracts. These contracts are intended to reduce the volatility of the cash flows attributable to the fluctuations in the copper and zinc price in accordance with existing copper concentrate sales commitments, which are related to 50 percent of the annual production of copper and 25 percent of the production of two years of zinc, according to the risk strategy approved by the Board of Directors.

 

During the year 2023, the Management of El Brocal decided to evaluate its hedging risk strategy for the price of metals, hence El Brocal did not signed new future contracts since the end of the first quarter of 2023. As a result of this decision, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Group did not hold amounts receivable/payable from hedge derivative financial instruments pending of settlement.

 

The variation of the caption “Hedge derivative financial instruments” is included in the caption “Unrealized loss of derivative financial instruments, net of income tax” in the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income. For the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, The Group not recognized not realized because of not subscribing hedge derivative financial instruments contracts, and for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Group obtained an unrealized loss of US$8,839,000 (unrealized loss of US$6,232,000, net of income taxes).

20.Fair value measurement

 

This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.

 

(a)Fair value disclosure of assets and liabilities according to its hierarchy -

 

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities:

 

         Fair value measurement using: 
    

Carrying

value

    

Quoted prices
in active
markets

(Level 1)

   

Observable
inputs

(Level 2)

    

Unobservable
inputs

(Level 3)

 
    US$(000)    US$(000)    US$(000)    US$(000) 
As of September 30, 2024 -                    
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value:                    
Fair value of account receivable (subject to provisional pricing)   116,463    -    116,463    - 
Contingent consideration liability   26,224    -    26,224    - 
                     
Fair value of liabilities at amortized cost:                    
Financial obligations   600,275    -    620,094    - 
                     
As of December 31, 2023 -                    
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value:                    
Fair value of account receivable (subject to provisional pricing)   125,586    -    125,586    - 
Contingent consideration liability   21,614    -    21,614    - 
Hedge instruments liability (asset)                    
                     
Fair value of liabilities at amortized cost:                    
Financial obligations   616,824    -    615,014    - 

 

(b)Financial instruments whose fair value is similar to their book value -

 

For financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables that are liquid or have short-term maturities (less than three months), it is estimated that their book value is similar to their fair value. The derivatives are also recorded at the fair value so that differences do not need to be reported.

 

The fair value of account receivable is determined using valuation techniques with information directly observable in the market (future metal quotations).

(c)Financial instruments at fixed and variable rates –

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fixed and variable rates at amortized cost is determined by comparing the market interest rates at the time of their initial recognition to the current market rates with regard to similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value of deposits that accrue interest is determined by means of cash flows discounted using the prevailing market interest rates in the currency with similar maturities and credit risks.

 

Based on the foregoing, there are no important existing difference between the value in books and the fair value of the assets and financial liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

(d)Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) -

 

The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements:

 

Description   Fair value
as of
September 30,  2024
 

Unobservable

inputs

  Range of inputs  

Relationship of
unobservable

inputs to fair value

Contingent consideration liability with Minera Gold Fields Peru S.A.   26,224   Rate before tax   10.81  

A change in the discount rate by 10% higher/lower, the fair value would increase/decrease in US$1.7 million.

 

        Expected revenues annual average (US$000)   290,385   If expected sales change by 10% higher/lower, the fair value would increase/decrease in US$2.6 million.

 

21.Events after the reporting period
