Qu&iacute;mica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) reported <B>earnings today for the

ADR) reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 (the 2016 results were affected by the write-off related to stopping
the operations of the train, which had a one-time, before-tax effect of US$32.8 million on net income, while the 2015 results were
impacted by the stopping of the operations at Pedro de Valdivia, which had a one-time, before-tax impact of US$57.7 million). <B>Gross

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We entered into an agreement with the Department
of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, both of the United States of America pursuant to the terms disclosed by
the Company on January 13, 2017. These agreements had a one-time impact on the fourth quarter 2016 results of US$30.5 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">SQM&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, Patricio
de Solminihac, stated, &ldquo;We ended 2016 with a very strong fourth quarter; our EBITDA reached US$238.9 million, and contributed
to the EBITDA of US$761.0 million that we reported for the year. Higher lithium sales volumes and higher lithium average prices
were the main contributors to these strong fourth quarter results, higher sales volumes related to potassium chloride, iodine and
solar salts<SUP>(4)</SUP> also played an important role.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;Lithium sales volumes almost reached
50,000 MT for the year, and average prices during the fourth quarter surpassed prices seen in earlier quarters during 2016. Sales
volumes seen during the fourth quarter exceeded 14,000 MT, a record for us. We remain uncertain about future lithium prices, as
new supply and timing of new projects will be an important factor during 2017. It is anticipated that new supply could enter the
market during the second half of 2017. We believe lithium demand could grow over 10% per year in the near term.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">He continued by saying, &ldquo;As we look
to take advantage of the strong lithium market, we will focus our production process on maximizing lithium yields, trying to reach
similar sales volumes in 2017 as seen in 2016. This in turn could lead to a decrease in potassium chloride production in 2017,
and potassium chloride sales volumes, that were up over 24% in 2016 compared to 2015, could decrease in the future. We believe
in recent months, potassium chloride prices have reached a bottom, and in some cases, we have seen slight price recovery. However,
we still believe that average prices in 2017 will be lower than average prices seen during 2016. In the SPN business line, prices
decreased during 2016, and could decrease further in coming quarters.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">He closed by saying, &ldquo;Our sales volumes
of iodine and derivatives grew over 13% when compared to the fourth quarter last year, reporting the strongest quarterly sales
volumes seen in recent years, and the strongest annual sales volumes seen since 2012. Prices continued to decline as anticipated,
but we regained market share in line with our objective, closing the year with a market share of approximately 29%. We expect sales
volumes in 2017 to be slightly higher than sales volumes seen during 2016. We have seen prices stabilizing in recent months, however,
we still expect average prices during 2017 to be lower than average prices reported during 2016.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Lower iodine revenues were the result of
lower prices. During 2016, we continued to see a downward trend in iodine pricing, and average prices were approximately US$23/kilogram,
a decrease of about 19% compared to average prices seen during 2015. During the fourth quarter 2016, average prices fell to just
below US$21/kilogram. In recent months we have seen prices stabilize, and we are cautiously optimistic that prices may not deteriorate
more during 2017. However, we expect our average price in 2017 will be lower than average prices seen during 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our sales volumes during 2016 totaled 10,200
MT, approximately 9% higher than sales volumes seen during 2015. We believe that global iodine demand grew slightly in 2016. We
expect to increase our market share again in 2017. In line with our strategy in iodine, our increased sales volumes allowed us
to increase our market share to approximately 29% in 2016. We currently have an effective capacity of 10,000 MT/year, with 9,000
MT coming from our most efficient plant in Nueva Victoria.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The lithium market exceeded expectations
during 2016; world demand growth was robust, and we estimate that it was close to 14%. Supply did not keep the same pace, and therefore
market prices saw historical increases. At the same time, we saw delays in some lithium projects, and this created tightness in
the market, thus leading to significant pressure on market prices during 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This pricing trend, coupled with higher
sales volumes impacted our 2016 revenues. In line with our previous expectations, our sales volumes increased 28% during 2016 when
compared to 2015, reaching 49.7k MT. Average prices for this business line increased an impressive 80% compared to average prices
seen during 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">New supply and timing of new projects will
be an important factor in determining lithium prices during 2017. It is anticipated that new supply will enter the market during
the second half of 2017. Sales volumes for the business line in 2017 should be similar to those seen in 2016, however, we expect
our product mix to shift, leading to higher lithium hydroxide sales volumes in 2017. We believe lithium hydroxide is increasingly
becoming the preferred product used for lithium battery production related to electric vehicles, and we expect lithium hydroxide
demand growth to outpace lithium carbonate demand growth in the upcoming years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This news release contains &ldquo;forward-looking
statements&rdquo; within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo;
&ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;strategy,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;will&rdquo; and similar references
to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make concerning the Company&rsquo;s
business outlook, future economic performance, anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, anticipated
cost synergies and product or service line growth.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Forward-looking statements are neither
historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are estimates that reflect the best judgment of SQM management
based on currently available information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they involve a number of risks,
uncertainties and other factors that are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
stated in such statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to the
documents filed by SQM with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent annual report on
Form 20-F, which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to SQM on the date hereof and SQM assumes no obligation
to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.</P>
