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$).

Second Quarter and Six-Month 2025 Highlights:

2Q25 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 130.1 million, compared to US$ 107.2 million reported in 2Q24. 6M25 EBITDA from direct operations reached US$ 256.4 million, compared to US$ 201.7 million reported in 6M24.

Buenaventura's cash position reached US$ 588.5 million by quarter's end, June 30, 2025, while net debt amounted to US$ 271.7 million, resulting in a leverage ratio of 0.56x.
Buenaventura's 2Q25 copper production increased by 28% YoY, primarily due to halted operations at El Brocal in 2Q24 and related impact on copper ore processing during the period. 2Q25 consolidated silver production decreased by 11%, zinc production increased by 22% YoY, and lead increased by 2% YoY, primarily due to the mine plan at Uchucchacua and Yumpag. Gold production decreased by 19% YoY due to lower production from Orcopampa and Tambomayo.
2Q25 CAPEX related to San Gabriel was US$ 82.2 million, primarily allocated to the processing plant, the filtered tailings storage facility, and vertical and horizontal mine development.
Buenaventura began commercializing a portion of Cerro Verde's copper concentrate during 2Q25. Approximately 20k WMT have been sold by quarter's end, out of a total ~40k WMT expected for the full year 2025.
