Operating Revenues

During 2Q16, net sales were US$ 279.4 million, an 18% increase compared to the US$ 236.6 million reported in 2Q15. This was mainly explained by an increase in gold and silver prices as well additional volume sold of all metals.

The higher revenues from our operations partially offset a royalty income decrease of 21%, to US$ 5.9 million in 2Q16 compared to the US$ 7.4 reported in 2Q15. This was due to lower revenues at Yanacocha (19% lower QoQ).

Production and Operating Costs

In 2Q16, Buenaventura’s gold equity production from direct operations was in-line compared to the figure reported in 2Q15 (84,997 gold ounces in 2Q16 vs 86,334 gold ounces in 2Q15). Gold production including associated companies in 2Q16 was 152,884 ounces, 15% lower than the amount reported in the same period 2015. This is explained by a decrease in production from Yanacocha. Silver equity production from direct operations increased 35%, mainly due to higher production at the Uchucchacua mine and the Mallay mine (5.7 million silver ounces in 2Q16 vs 4.2 million silver ounces in 2Q15).

In 2Q16, Yanacocha reported a net loss of US$ 3.5 million compared to a net income of US$ 18.9 million reported in 2Q15. CAS in 2Q16 was US$ 790/oz, 22% higher than the US$ 648/oz reported in 2Q15 mainly due to: i) a higher inventory write-down (US$ 26.0 million in 2Q16 compared to US$ 17.9 million in 2Q15), and ii) lower volume sold (154,486 gold ounces in 2Q16 vs 203,413 gold ounces in 2Q15).

Capital expenditures at Yanacocha were US$ 22.3 million in 2Q16, while for 6M16 was US$ 36.0 million.

Currently, Yanacocha is focusing its exploration efforts on the Quecher Main project. An oxide deposit that could extend Yanacocha operation mine life to 2024. This project is currently in the feasibility stage of development and could potentially add an average of 200,000 ounces gold per year starting in 2020.

CERRO VERDE

At Cerro Verde (19.58% owned by Buenaventura), during 2Q16 copper production was 126,143 MT (24,699 MT attributable to Buenaventura), a 169% increase compared to 2Q15 (46,920 MT and 9,187 MT attributable to Buenaventura). For 6M16, copper production was 249,557 MT (48,863 MT attributable to Buenaventura).

During 2Q16, Cerro Verde reported a net income of US$ 80.8 million compared to net loss of US$ 0.9 million in 2Q15. This was primarily due to: i) a lower cash cost, and ii) more volume sold. For 6M16, net income was US$ 177.7 million (compared to US$ 39.8 million in 6M15).

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$ 143.3 million in 2Q16, and US$ 306.3 million in 6M16.

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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015 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.
