Table of Contents
“Indicated Mineral Resource” ** That part of a mineral resource with a level of geological confidence between that of measured and inferred resources; quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
“Inferred Mineral Resource” ** That part of a mineral resource with the lowest level of geological confidence; quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability.
“industrial crops” Refers to crops that require processing after harvest in order to be ready for consumption or sale. Tobacco, tea and seed crops are examples of industrial crops.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
•Our inability to extend on favorable terms our access to the mineral exploitation rights relating to the Salar de Atacama concession, upon which our business is substantially dependent, beyond the expiration date of our current agreements in December 2030 through the formation of the association agreement with Codelco could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•Volatility of world lithium, fertilizer and other chemical prices and changes in production capacities could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•Our sales could be impacted by global shipping constraints.
•Our sales to emerging markets and expansion strategy expose us to risks related to economic conditions and trends in those countries.
•Our inventory levels may vary for economic or operational reasons.
•New production of lithium, iodine and potassium nitrate from current or new competitors in the markets in which we operate could adversely affect prices.
•We have a capital expenditure program that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
•High raw materials and energy prices could increase our production costs of sales, and energy may become unavailable at any price.
•Our reserve estimates could be subject to significant changes, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•The growth of our lithium business depends on the growth in demand for electric vehicles using lithium-based batteries and reduced demand in the adoption of electric vehicles by consumers, including due to any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies, tax credits and other economic incentives for electric vehicles could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•The development of new battery technologies that use no, or significantly less, lithium, could materially and adversely impact our prospects and future revenues.
•To the extent that our competitors implement new and more efficient technologies for extraction of lithium and are able to produce lithium for a lower cost, our lithium products may not be competitively priced, which could reduce demand for our lithium products.
•Chemical and physical properties of our products could adversely affect their commercialization and changes in technology or other developments could result in preferences for substitute products.
•We are exposed to labor strikes, work stoppages, and labor liabilities that could impact our production levels and costs.
•We are subject to labor laws and regulations in Chile and in Australia and may be exposed to liabilities and potential costs for non-compliance.
•Lawsuits and arbitrations could adversely impact us.
•We have operations in multiple jurisdictions with differing regulatory, tax and other regimes.
•Environmental laws and regulations could expose us to higher costs, liabilities, claims, failure to meet current and future production targets or cause material changes, delays or stoppages in our operations.
•The occurrence of an accident or safety incident involving employees, contractors or others can result in injuries, disabilities or loss of life, which could expose us to operational slowdowns, stoppages or delays, significant financial losses and reputational harm, as well as civil and criminal liabilities.
•Our exports pose special risks to our business and operations.
•A significant percentage of our shares are held by two principal shareholder groups, including, a competitor of the Company, which could result in risks to free competition. Any change in such principal shareholder groups may result in a change of control of the Company or of its Board of Directors or its management, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•Our IT systems may be vulnerable to disruption which could place our systems at risk from data loss, operational failure, or compromise of confidential information.
•Political events or financial or other crises in any region worldwide can significantly impact Chile and may unfavorably affect our operations and liquidity, including heightened tensions in international relations with China.

3.D.Risk Factors
Our operations are subject to certain risk factors that may affect SQM’s business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. In addition to other information contained in this Form 20-F, you should carefully consider the risks described below. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or that are known but that we currently believe are not significant may also affect our business operations. Our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected by any of these risks.
Risks Relating to our Business
Our inability to extend on favorable terms our access to the mineral exploitation rights relating to the Salar de Atacama concession, upon which our business is substantially dependent, beyond the expiration date of our current agreements in December 2030 through the association agreement with Codelco, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our subsidiary SQM Salar SpA, formerly named SQM Salar S.A (“SQM Salar”), as leaseholder, holds exclusive and temporary leasehold rights to exploit mineral resources in the Salar de Atacama in northern Chile until December 31, 2030. The underlying properties and mineral rights are owned by Corfo, a Chilean government entity, and leased to SQM Salar pursuant to (i) a lease agreement over mining exploitation concessions with Corfo, as amended from time to time, and (ii) the Salar de Atacama project agreement with Corfo, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “SQM-Corfo Agreements”). The SQM-Corfo Agreements provide for SQM Salar to (i) make quarterly lease payments to Corfo based on product sales from the leased mining properties and annual contributions to research and development, to local communities, to the Antofagasta Regional Government and to the municipalities of San Pedro de Atacama, María Elena and Antofagasta, (ii) maintain Corfo’s rights over the mining exploitation concessions and (iii) make annual payments to the Chilean government for such concession rights. The SQM-Corfo Agreements will expire on December 31, 2030.
On May 31, 2024, SQM and Codelco, the Chilean state-owned copper mining company which had been mandated by the Chilean government to negotiate its participation in the lithium operations in the Salar de Atacama, entered into a partnership agreement which establishes the rights and obligations of the parties to form an entity for the development of mining and production activities aimed at the production of lithium, potassium and other products from the properties of Corfo in the Salar de Atacama and their subsequent marketing (directly or through its subsidiaries or representative offices). The entity is to be formed through the merger by incorporation of Codelco’s subsidiary, Minera Tarar SpA, into the Company’s subsidiary, SQM Salar, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement. Minera Tarar will obtain the mineral exploitation rights in the Salar de Atacama for the period January 1, 2031 to December 31, 2060 pursuant to a lease agreement and a project agreement to be entered into with Corfo (the “Tarar-Corfo Agreements”).

The partnership agreement includes forms of several agreements and documents to be entered into by the parties prior to the completion of the transaction, including a shareholders’ agreement, a sales agreement for the sale of the Company’s properties in the Salar de Maricunga, a license to be granted by the Company to the shared entity over certain industrial property rights, the by-laws and powers of attorney of the shared entity, the manner in which the Company will contribute to SQM Salar those assets and contracts of our lithium business in the Salar de Atacama that are not currently owned by SQM Salar, and execution of the Tarar-Corfo Agreements, among others. A number of conditions precedent remain to be satisfied for the formation of the joint venture to become effective, including completion of the consultation process with the indigenous communities in the Salar de Atacama, and termination of the SEC’s investigation described under “We are subject to Chilean and international anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and international trade laws. Failure to comply with these laws could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.” on the terms described in the partnership agreement.
Our business is substantially dependent on the exploitation rights under the SQM-Corfo Agreements, since all of our products originating from the Salar de Atacama are derived from our extraction operations under the SQM-Corfo Agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues related to products originating from the Salar de Atacama represented 55% of our consolidated revenues, consisting of revenues from our potassium business line and our lithium and derivatives business line for the period. As of December 31, 2024, only six years remain on the term of the SQM-Corfo Agreements and we had extracted approximately 52% of the total permitted accumulated extraction and sales limit of lithium under the lithium extraction and sales limits.
Our ability to continue our operations in the Salar de Atacama beyond 2030 will depend on implementing the association agreement with Codelco, which holds the exploitation rights in the Salar de Atacama from 2031 to 2060 through the Tarar-Codelco Agreements. If we are unable to implement the proposed association agreement with Codelco, we would be unable to continue extraction of lithium and potassium from the Salar de Atacama, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Volatility of world lithium, fertilizer and other chemical prices and changes in production capacities could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The prices of our products are determined principally by world prices, which, in some cases, have been subject to substantial volatility in recent years. World lithium, fertilizer and other chemical prices constantly vary depending upon the relationship between supply and demand at any given time. Supply and demand dynamics for our products are tied to a certain extent to global economic cycles and have been impacted by circumstances related to such cycles. Furthermore, the supply of lithium, certain fertilizers, or other chemical products, including certain products that we provide, varies principally depending on the production of the major producers, (including us) and their respective business strategies.
We expect that prices for the products we manufacture will continue to be influenced, among other things, by worldwide supply and demand and the business strategies of major producers. Some of the major producers (including us) have increased or decreased production and have the ability to increase or decrease production.
As a result of the above, the prices of our products may be subject to substantial volatility. For example, during 2024, average lithium prices decreased from US$30,467 per metric ton in 2023 to US$10,936 per metric ton during the year ended December 31, 2024. High volatility or a substantial decline in the prices or sales volumes of one or more of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our sales could be impacted by global shipping constraints
We sell our products in more than 100 countries in the world. Our products are shipped in containers or break bulk format
from the port terminals in Antofagasta, Tocopilla, Mejillones and Iquique in Chile, and Bunbury in Australia. The challenges in the global shipping industry in the recent years have led to congestion in ports, a shortage in containers, and a lack of space on ships. Because of this situation, we face a risk of potential supply chain disruptions that may adversely affect our operations and ability to deliver our products to our customers. Depending on the terms of shipments to customers, the risk of loss related to these shipping issues could fall on us. Additionally, our revenues and collections may also be adversely affected by significant increases in the cost of transportation, as a result of increases in fuel or labor costs, higher demand for logistics services, or otherwise, and transportation delays that could have a negative impact on our sales agreements and customer relationships.

Our sales to emerging markets and expansion strategy expose us to risks related to economic conditions and trends in those countries.
We sell our products in more than 100 countries around the world, many of which are emerging markets. We anticipate expanding our sales in these and other emerging markets in the future. In addition, we may enter into acquisitions or joint ventures in jurisdictions in which we do not currently operate in connection with any of our businesses or new businesses in which we believe we may have sustainable competitive advantages. The results of our operations and our prospects in other countries where we operate will depend, in part, on the general level of political stability, economic activity and policies in those countries, as well as the duration of outbreaks of infections or communicable diseases or other pandemics. Future developments in the political systems or economies of these countries, or the implementation of future governmental policies in those countries, including the imposition of withholding and other taxes, restrictions on the payment of dividends or the repatriation of capital, the imposition of import tariffs or other restrictions, the imposition of new environmental regulations or price controls, or changes in relevant laws or regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in those countries.
Our inventory levels may vary for economic or operational reasons.
In general, economic conditions or operational factors can affect our inventory levels. Higher inventories carry a financial risk due to increased need for cash to fund working capital and could imply an increased risk of loss of product. At the same time, lower levels of inventory can hinder the distribution network and process, thus impacting sales volumes. There can be no assurance that inventory levels will remain stable. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
New production of lithium, iodine and potassium nitrate from current or new competitors in the markets in which we operate could adversely affect prices.
In recent years, new and existing competitors have increased the supply of lithium, iodine and potassium nitrate, which has affected prices for those products. Further production increases could negatively impact prices. There is limited information on the status of new lithium, iodine and potassium nitrate production capacity expansion projects being developed by current and potential competitors and, as such, we cannot make accurate projections regarding the capacities of possible new entrants into the market and the dates on which they could become operational. If these potential projects are completed in the short term, they could adversely affect market prices and our market share, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a capital expenditure program that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Our business is capital intensive. Specifically, the exploration and exploitation of reserves, mining and processing costs, the maintenance of machinery and equipment and compliance with applicable laws and regulations require substantial capital expenditures. We must continue to invest capital to maintain or to increase our exploitation levels and the amount of finished products we produce. For example, we have an investment plan for an estimated range of US$3.1 to US$3.8 billion for the years 2025-2027. The plan will allow us to expand our lithium, iodine and nitrate operations by accessing natural resources both in the Salar de Atacama and caliche deposits in Chile, and through the Mt Holland project in Western Australia (a joint venture we are developing with our partner Wesfarmers). The plan also aims to increase mining capacity while protecting the environment, reduce operating costs and increase annual production capacity to meet expected growth in those markets.
Mining industry development projects typically require a number of years and significant expenditures before production can begin. Such projects could experience unexpected problems and delays during development, construction and start-up.
Our decision to develop a project typically is based on the results of feasibility studies, which estimate the anticipated economic returns of a project. The actual project profitability or economic feasibility may differ from such estimates as a result of any of the following factors, among others:
•changes in tonnage, grades and metallurgical characteristics of ore or other raw materials to be mined and processed;
•estimated future prices of the relevant products;
•changes in customer demand; higher construction and infrastructure costs;
•the quality of the data on which engineering assumptions were made;

Table of Contents
•higher production costs; adverse geotechnical conditions;
•availability of adequate labor force; availability and cost of water and energy;
•availability and cost of transportation; fluctuations in inflation and currency exchange rates;
•availability and terms of financing;
•and potential delays relating to social and community issues.
In addition, we require environmental permits for our new projects. Obtaining permits in certain cases may cause significant delays in the execution and implementation of new projects and, consequently, may require us to reassess the related risks and economic incentives.
This may require modifying our operations to incorporate the use of seawater and updating our mining equipment and operational centers.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our production levels or generate sufficient cash flow or that we will have access to sufficient investments, loans or other financing alternatives, to continue our activities at or above present levels, or that we will be able to implement our projects or receive the necessary permits required for them in time. Any or all of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
High raw materials and energy prices could increase our production costs and cost of sales, and energy may become unavailable at any price.
We rely on certain raw materials and various energy sources (diesel, electricity, liquefied natural gas, fuel oil and others) to manufacture our products. Purchases of energy and raw materials we do not produce constitute an important part of our cost of sales (excluding the payments to Corfo) which was approximately 44% in 2024. In addition, we may not be able to obtain energy at any price if supplies are curtailed or otherwise become unavailable. To the extent we are unable to pass on increases in the prices of energy and raw materials to our customers or we are unable to obtain energy, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our reserve estimates could be subject to significant changes, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our caliche ore mining reserve estimates and our Salar de Atacama brine mining reserve estimates are prepared by qualified persons and this information is presented in our technical report summaries prepared and filed as required by subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Estimation methods involve numerous uncertainties as to the quantity and quality of the reserves, and reserve estimates could change upwards or downwards. A downward change in our estimates and/or quality of our reserves could affect future volumes and costs of production and therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The growth of our lithium business depends on the growth in demand for electric vehicles using lithium-based batteries and reduced demand in the adoption of electric vehicles by consumers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our lithium products are a critical component of the lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles. As a result, the growth of our lithium business is dependent on the continued adoption of electric vehicles by consumers. If the market for electric vehicles does not develop as we expect, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and future results of operations will be adversely affected. The market for electric vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, and could be affected by numerous external factors, such as:
•government regulations and automakers’ responses to those regulations;
•the availability of tax and other economic incentives to purchase and operate electric vehicles or future regulation requiring increased used of non-polluting vehicles;
•rates of consumer adoption, which is driven in part by perceptions about electric vehicle features (including the range over which the vehicle may be driven on a single battery charge),
•quality, safety, performance, cost and charging infrastructure;
•competition, including from other types of alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and high fuel-economy internal combustion engine vehicles;
•volatility in the cost of battery materials, oil and gasoline;

Table of Contents
•rates of customer adoption of higher performance lithium compounds; and
•rates of development and adoption of next generation battery technologies using lower lithium content or using alternatives to lithium.
Demand for electric vehicles has slowed globally, including in China, the largest electric vehicle market, and with range anxiety and ability to find high speed charging stations still a concern, many consumers have opted for hybrid electric vehicles, which have smaller batteries and correspondingly lower lithium content. If the market for electric vehicles does not develop as we expect, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies, tax credits and other economic incentives for electric vehicles may reduce the competitiveness of electric vehicles and their demand, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
The growth of our lithium business depends upon the continued adoption by consumers of electric vehicles. Government subsidies and incentives are important for the competitiveness of electric vehicles. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of electric vehicles, or other reasons may result in diminished competitiveness of the electric vehicles industry generally, and a resulting decrease in the demand for our lithium products. In January 2025, President Trump revoked the Biden administration order setting a 50% electric vehicles target for 2030 and may seek to revise environmental and auto emissions standards that encouraged electric vehicle production, which may further reduce demand for and supply of electric vehicles and, in turn, adversely affect demand for lithium products. If the market for electric vehicles does not develop as we expect, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
The development of new battery technologies that use no, or significantly less, lithium, could materially and adversely impact our prospects and future revenues.
Current and next generation high energy density batteries for use in electric vehicles rely on lithium compounds as a critical input. Many materials and technologies are being researched and developed with the goal of making batteries lighter, more efficient, faster charging and less expensive. Some of these could be less reliant on lithium hydroxide or other lithium compounds, especially if the demand for batteries for use in electric vehicles outstrips the available supply of lithium hydroxide or other lithium compounds. We cannot predict which new technologies may ultimately prove to be commercially viable and on what time horizon. Commercialized battery technologies that use less lithium compounds could materially and adversely impact our prospects and future revenues.
Our success as a producer of lithium and related products depends to a great extent on our ability to extract lithium from brines in an efficient and cost-effective manner. To the extent that our competitors implement new and more efficient technologies for extraction of lithium and are able to produce lithium for a lower cost than we can, our lithium products may not be competitively priced, which could reduce demand for our lithium products and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success as a producer of lithium and related products is dependent on our ability to develop and implement more efficient production capabilities based on mineral rich brine. Many of our competitors are seeking to develop and implement more efficient production capabilities from brine, such as implementing direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies, which have the potential to significantly increase the supply of lithium from brine projects and reduce their cost of production. While we continue to make significant investment in research and development of the lithium extraction process, we cannot assure you that our product research and development projects will be successful or be completed within the anticipated time frame or budget. In addition, we cannot assure you that our existing or potential competitors will not develop products which are similar or superior to our products or are more competitively priced. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that advances in technology will occur in a timely or feasible way, if at all, that others will not acquire similar or superior technologies sooner than we do, or that we will acquire technologies on an exclusive basis or at a significant price advantage. The process of designing and developing new technology, products and services is costly and uncertain and requires extensive capital investment. If our lithium products are not competitively priced, demand for our lithium products could be reduced and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Chemical and physical properties of our products could adversely affect their commercialization.
Since our products are derived from natural resources, they contain inorganic impurities that may not meet certain customer or government standards. As a result, we may not be able to sell our products if we cannot meet such requirements. In addition, our cost of production may increase in order to meet such standards. Failure to meet such standards could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations if we are unable to sell our products in one or more markets or to important customers in such markets.
Changes in technology or other developments could result in preferences for substitute products.
Our products, particularly lithium, iodine and their derivatives, are preferred raw materials for certain industrial applications, such as rechargeable batteries and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). Changes in technology, the development of substitute products or other developments could adversely affect demand for these and other products which we produce. In addition, other alternatives to our products may become more economically attractive as global commodity prices shift. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to labor strikes, work stoppages and labor liabilities that could impact our production levels and costs.
We are exposed to labor strikes and labor liabilities that could impact our production levels and costs. Approximately 87% of our employees are employed in Chile, of which approximately 77% were represented by 22 labor unions as of December 31, 2024. In addition, in Australia we have approximately 700 persons employed by us directly or through our Mount Holland Joint Venture. In 2024, collective bargaining agreements were renewed with 14 unions, of which 12 correspond to the SQM Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division and two to the Lithium Chile Division. We are exposed to labor strikes and illegal work stoppages by both our own employees and our independent contractors’ employees that could impact our production levels in both our own plants and our independent contractors’ plants. If a strike or illegal work stoppage occurs and continues for a sustained period of time, we could be faced with increased costs and even disruption in our product flow that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to labor laws and regulations in Chile and in Australia, and may be exposed to liabilities and potential costs for non-compliance.
We are subject to labor laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, primarily Chile and in Australia, that govern, among other things, the relationship between us and our employees, and we may in the future be subject to new laws and regulations in Chile and in Australia that may expose us to additional risks and costs of non-compliance.
There have been changes and proposed changes to various labor laws in Chile which include, but are not limited to, modifications related to teleworking, inclusion of workers with disabilities, minimum wage, unemployment insurance benefits, employee and employer relationships, pensions, profit sharing, regular work hours, salary equality between men and women, collective bargaining by economic sector, and other matters. These changes may increase our labor costs as well as the cost of compliance and expose us to additional liabilities for non-compliance.
On January 29, 2025, the Chilean Congress approved reforms to the Chilean pension fund regime that would, among other things, increase the employer contributions to employee pensions from 1.5% to 8.5% of the employee’s monthly wages. While the increases are expected to be implanted gradually over a 9-year period, it could result in increased labor costs for employers.
As of December 31, 2024, we had 7,258 employees in Chile and any increase in our labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Lawsuits and arbitrations could adversely impact us.
We are party to a range of lawsuits and arbitrations involving different matters as described in Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements and “Item 8.A. Legal Proceedings.” Although we intend to defend our positions vigorously, our defense of these actions may not be successful and responding to such lawsuits and arbitrations diverts our management’s attention from day-to-day operations. Adverse judgments or settlements in these lawsuits may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our strategy of being a world leader includes entering into commercial and production alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions to improve our global competitive position. As these operations increase in complexity and are carried out in different jurisdictions, we may be

subject to legal proceedings that, if settled against us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have operations in multiple jurisdictions with differing regulatory, tax and other regimes.
We operate in multiple jurisdictions with complex regulatory environments that are subject to different interpretations by companies and respective governmental authorities. These jurisdictions may have different tax codes, environmental regulations, labor codes and legal framework, which adds complexity to our compliance with these regulations. Any failure to comply with such regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental laws and regulations could expose us to higher costs, liabilities, claims, failure to meet current and future production targets or cause material changes, delays or stoppages in our operations.
Our operations in Chile and in Australia are subject to national and local regulations relating to environmental protection. In accordance with Chilean regulations, we are required to conduct environmental impact studies or statements before we conduct any new projects or activities or significant modifications of existing projects that could impact the environment or the health of people in the surrounding areas. We are also required to obtain an environmental license for those projects and activities. The Chilean Environmental Assessment Service (Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental) or “SEA” evaluates environmental impact studies and statements submitted for its approval. The public, government agencies or local authorities may review and challenge projects that may adversely affect the environment, either before these projects are executed or once they are operating, if they fail to comply with applicable regulations. In order to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, Chilean authorities may impose fines up to approximately US$9 million per infraction, revoke environmental permits or temporarily or permanently close facilities, among other enforcement measures.
In accordance with Australian state and federal environmental laws and regulations, we are required to obtain environmental approvals and licenses to carry out exploration and mining activities. New projects may require federal government approval if they have, will have or are likely to have a significant impact on ‘matters of national environmental significance’. On a state level, mine developments are required to prevent, control and abate pollution and environmental harm and ensure the conservation and protection (as applicable) of the land subject to tenure.
Environmental regulations in Chile and in Australia have become increasingly stringent in recent years, both with respect to the approval of new projects and in connection with the implementation and development of projects already approved, and we believe that this trend is likely to continue. Given public interest in environmental enforcement matters, these regulations or their application may also be subject to political considerations that are beyond our control.
We regularly monitor the impact of our operations on the environment and on the health of people in the surrounding areas and have, from time to time, made modifications to our facilities to minimize any adverse impact. Future developments in the creation or implementation of environmental requirements or their interpretation could result in substantially increased capital, operation or compliance costs or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The success of our current investments in the Company’s operations is dependent on the behavior of the ecosystem variables being monitored over time. If the behavior of these variables in future years does not meet environmental requirements, our operation may be subject to important restrictions by the authorities on the maximum allowable amounts of brine and/or water extraction.
Our future development depends on our ability to sustain future production levels, which requires additional investments and the submission of the corresponding environmental impact studies or statements. If we fail to obtain approval or required environmental licenses, our ability to maintain production at specified levels will be seriously impaired, thus having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our worldwide operations are subject to international and local environmental regulations. Since environmental laws and regulations in the different jurisdictions in which we operate may change, we cannot guarantee that future environmental laws, or changes to existing environmental laws, will not materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future. Compliance with more stringent laws and regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies or stricter interpretation of existing laws and regulations may

necessitate significant capital outlays, materially affect our results of operations and business, or may cause material changes or delays in our operations and business activities. Failure to comply with applicable environmental regulations may result in fines or administrative penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of additional equipment or remedial action, any of which could result in the Company incurring significant expenditures, as well as having a significant negative impact on our reputation and image.
In addition, our operations and business activities require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities, including under environmental regulations. While we believe that the Company currently has the material licenses and permits required to conduct its business and operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain, maintain or renew all the necessary licenses and permits which may be required to conduct its business and operations in the future. Failure to obtain, maintain or renew those licenses and permits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in Australia, the Mt. Holland joint venture operations generate waste by-product such as tailings, that are managed by the use of tailings storage facilities (TSFs). TSFs are regulated by applicable state, federal and local environmental regulations, permits and other requirements. Compliance with these requirements may require significant expenditures and impact production and operations of the Mt. Holland joint venture.
Most of our operations are at work sites with inherent safety and environmental risks. The occurrence of an
accident or safety incident involving our facilities, employees, contractors or others can result in significant damage to the facilities and surrounding communities and injuries, disabilities or even loss of life, which could expose us to operational slowdowns, stoppages or delays, significant financial losses and reputational harm, as well as civil and criminal liabilities.
Most of our operations are at work sites in Chile and Australia, with inherent safety and environmental risks. At these work sites, our employees, contractors and others are at times in close proximity with large pieces of mechanized equipment, moving vehicles, manufacturing processes and hazardous and regulated materials, in a challenging environment. The failure of the TSF operated by the Mt. Holland joint venture in Western Australia could result in severe, and in some cases, catastrophic, property and environmental damage and loss of life, due to hazardous material releases and contamination of surrounding communities ecosystems and water sources, which could endanger the neighboring communities, the local environment and the safety of workers and residents, as well as cause adverse effects to our operations, business and reputation. We are responsible for safety at our work sites, and, accordingly, we have an obligation to comply with applicable laws, including to implement effective safety policies and procedures and to provide appropriate personal protective equipment. The failure by us or others working at such sites to comply with such laws, to implement effective safety procedures, to provide necessary equipment, to protect other contractors at work sites we manage or to conduct work in a safe manner, may result in property damage, injury, disability or loss of life, which may result in investigations, claims or litigation that could result in operational slowdowns, stoppages or delays while such investigations, claims or litigation are conducted. Unsafe work sites also have the potential to increase employee turnover, increase the cost of a project to our customers and raise our operating and insurance costs. In addition, releases of hazardous materials or pollutants, or fires, explosions or other incidents, may result in environmental damages, or public safety concerns, at the facility and in the neighboring communities, and the related costs and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our safety record is critical to our reputation. For all of the foregoing reasons, if we fail to maintain adequate safety standards, we could suffer harm to our operations, business and reputation, reduced profitability or the loss of business or customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our exports pose special risks to our business and operations.
Exports represent a significant portion of our net revenues, representing 96% of our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. Exports expose us to risk factors beyond our control in our principal sales markets, including:
• fluctuations in exchange rates;
• deteriorating economic conditions;
• imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, as explained below;
• exchange controls and restrictions on foreign exchange transactions;
• strikes or other events that may affect ports and transportation;
compliance with different foreign legal and regulatory regimes; and
• trade barriers.

Disruptions due to import restrictions and tariffs, other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements imposed by foreign countries on our products pose significant risks. Significant political or regulatory changes in the jurisdictions where we sell our products, such as those resulting from the new U.S. presidential administration, are difficult to predict, may create uncertainty and could affect our business. Increased trade protectionism worldwide could adversely affect our business. Trade barriers implemented to protect or revive their domestic industries from foreign imports may reduce demand for our products. Import restrictions, including tariff restrictions, could have a significant impact on world trade. Trade protectionism in the markets we serve may lead to an increase in the cost of
exported goods, delivery time and the risks associated with exporting.
In recent years, tensions in international relations have intensified. For example, the U.S. government has implemented changes in U.S. and international trade policies. Any unfavorable governmental policies regarding international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, as well as any renegotiation of existing trade agreements, trade retaliation or trade wars, could impact the global economy and, therefore, negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. These policy pronouncements have generated significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other exporting countries, including trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs, and have raised concerns about the possibility of a protracted trade war. Tension on trade and other issues remains high, and it is currently unclear what policies the current U.S. administration will implement. Protectionist developments, or the perception that they may occur, could have a significant adverse effect on global economic conditions and could significantly reduce global trade, particularly trade between the United States and other countries. Any unfavorable governmental policies regarding international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, or the U.S. dollar payment and settlement system, could affect our competitiveness and materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Any new tariffs, legislation or regulations to be implemented, or any renegotiation of existing trade agreements, or any retaliatory trade measures, could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
A significant percentage of our shares are held by two principal shareholder groups who may have interests that are different from that of other shareholders and of each other. Any change in such principal shareholder groups may result in a change of control of the Company or of its Board of Directors or its management, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of March 31, 2025, two principal shareholder groups held in the aggregate 47.92% of our total outstanding shares, including 94.19% of our Series A common shares, and have the power to elect six of our eight directors. The interests of the two principal shareholder groups may in some cases differ from those of other shareholders and of each other.
As of March 31, 2025, one principal shareholder group is Sociedad de Inversiones Pampa Calichera S.A. and its related companies, Inversiones Global Mining Chile Limitada and Potasios de Chile S.A. (together, the “Pampa Group”), which owned approximately 25.76% of the total outstanding shares of SQM, and another principal shareholder is Tianqi Lithium Corporation (“Tianqi”), which directly and indirectly owned approximately 22.16% of the total outstanding shares of SQM.
The divestiture by the Pampa Group or Tianqi, or potential changes in the circumstances that have led to the determination of the CMF that there is currently no controlling shareholder of the Company, or a combination thereof, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tianqi is a significant shareholder and a competitor of the Company, which could result in risks to free competition
Tianqi is a competitor in the lithium business, and as a result of the number of SQM shares that it owns, it has the right to choose up to three Board members. Under Chilean law, we are restricted in our ability to decline to provide information about us, which may include competitively sensitive information, to a director of our company. On August 27, 2018, Tianqi and the Chilean antitrust regulator, the Chilean National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (Fiscalía Nacional Económica), or FNE, entered into an extrajudicial agreement, under which certain restrictive measures were implemented in order to (i) maintain the competitive conditions of the lithium market, (ii) mitigate the risks described in the agreement and (iii) limit Tianqi’s access to certain information of the Company and its subsidiaries, which is defined as “sensitive information” under the agreement.
During the approval process of the extrajudicial agreement before the FNE, we expressed our concerns regarding the measures contained in the extrajudicial agreement since, in the Company’s opinion, the measures (i) could not effectively resolve the risks that Tianqi and the FNE have sought to mitigate, (ii) are not sufficient to avoid access to our “sensitive

information” that, in the possession of a competitor, could harm us and the proper functioning of the market and (iii) could contradict the Chilean Corporations Act.
During 2024, Tianqi filed a lawsuit challenging the CMF's decision that shareholder approval would not be required in connection with the formation of the new entity between SQM and Codelco. Following several lower court decisions rejecting Tianqi's claims, Tianqi filed an appeal with the Chilean Supreme Court, which rejected Tianqi's appeal.
The presence of a shareholder which is at the same time a competitor of ours and the right of this competitor to choose Board members could generate risks to free competition and/or increase the risks of an investigation of free competition against us, whether in Chile or in other countries, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information technology systems may be vulnerable to disruption which could place our systems at risk from data loss, operational failure, or compromise of confidential information.
We rely on various computer and information technology tools and systems, which are analyzed prior to their implementation and can add efficiency to business processes. The technological infrastructure is made up of the IT network and the OT network. These environments are separated and segmented in order to preventively contain any cyber attack or incident. Additionally, both networks are protected by various layers of security and these controls help prevent the spread of cyber threats and minimize the impact in the event of an information security breach.
However, we cannot guarantee that due to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks our systems will not be compromised and because we do not maintain specialized cybersecurity insurance, our insurance coverage for protection against cybersecurity risk may not be sufficient. Cybersecurity breaches could result in losses of assets or production, operational delays, equipment failure, inaccurate recordkeeping, or disclosure of confidential information, any of which could result in business interruption, reputational damage, lost revenue, litigation, penalties or additional expenses and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For further details regarding cybersecurity, please refer to “Item 16K. Cybersecurity.”
Political events or financial or other crises in any region worldwide can significantly impact Chile and may
unfavorably affect our operations and liquidity.
Chile is vulnerable to external shocks that could cause significant economic difficulties and affect growth. If Chile experiences lower than expected economic growth or a recession, it is likely that consumer demand for electricity will decrease and that some of our customers may have difficulties paying their electric bills, possibly increasing our uncollectible accounts. Any of these situations could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Financial and political events in other parts of the world could also negatively affect our business. Export trade is important to the Chilean economy generally and to our business in particular. The new presidential administration in the United States has made number of policy changes on trade, foreign relations, government regulation, immigration and other matters that differ significantly from those of the prior administration, which could have material effects on the global political and economic landscape. President Trump has imposed or threatened to impose increased tariffs on imports of most goods from Canada and Mexico, additional tariffs on imports of goods from China above currently applicable tariff rates, steel and aluminum tariffs on all countries, and tariff on imports of cars and auto parts from foreign countries, among others. These tariffs could lead to retaliatory actions by other countries, which could impact foreign trade globally. Protectionist developments, or the perception they may occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade, including trade between Chile and other countries.
We are unable to predict how government policy, in the United States, China and other trading partners or the outbreak of a trade war between trading partners may impact global economic conditions
Heightened tensions in international relations with China could result in political and economic measures against Chinese-owned companies, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As of March 31, 2025, one of our largest shareholders is Tianqi, a Chinese company, with a 22.16% ownership interest and board representation. Recently there have been heightened tensions in international relations between the United States and Europe, on the one hand, and China. International trade disputes and President Trump’s additional tariffs on imports of goods from China above currently applicable tariff rates and other trade restrictions have affected both diplomatic and economic ties among countries. This environment could result in political and economic measures against Chinese-owned companies. Any further deterioration in the relationship between China, the United States and certain other countries may

limit our ability to invest and develop projects in certain countries and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Outbreaks of communicable infections or diseases, or other public health pandemics may impact the markets in which we, our customers and our suppliers operate or market and sell products and could have a material adverse effect on our operations business, financial condition and results of operations.
Disease outbreaks and other public health conditions in a region where we, our customers or our suppliers operate or market and sell products, could have a significant negative impact on our revenues, profitability and business. The extent of the negative impact would depend on various factors, including but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, government-imposed restrictions on businesses and individuals, changes in demand for our products, supply chain disruptions, and the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate.
The potential impact of any future disease outbreak or public health condition on international financial markets, and the measures governments and businesses may take to control such outbreaks, cannot be predicted and are beyond our control and it is possible that any such future outbreak could adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
If our stakeholders and other constituencies believe we fail to appropriately address sustainability and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns it may adversely affect our business.
In October 2020, we announced our sustainable development plan, which includes voluntarily expanding our monitoring systems, promoting better and deeper conversations with neighboring communities and becoming carbon neutral by 2040, and reducing water by 65% and brine extraction by 50% of our authorized limits. We also announced the goal of obtaining international certifications and participating in international sustainability indices that we consider essential for a sustainable future. Since our sustainable development plan was announced, we have participated in voluntary assessments, such as Ecovadis, CDP Certifications, Drive Sustainability, which support our sustainable development plan, such as Responsible Care from the Chilean Chemical Industries Association, Protect&Sustain from the International Fertilizer Association, Ecoports, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001, and we have achieved IRMA 75 level of the same standard for our operations in the Salar de Atacama, which seeks to boost responsible mining. In 2021, the Port of Tocopilla obtained the Responsible Care certification, obtaining level 2 certification and in June 2023, the ECOSLC Foundation approved for the first time the ECOPORTS PERS Certification after validation by the independent auditor LRQA, The Netherlands. Also, during 2022, Responsible Care certification of the rectified New Victoria site was achieved. The Protect & Sustain certification applies to the operations of Coya Sur, Salar de Atacama, Antofagasta, Santiago and the Port of Tocopilla. Regarding ISO management systems, the Port of Tocopilla obtained certification in January 2022 in the ISO 14001 standard. We completed the ISO 14001 and 45001 recertification of our management systems at the Salar de Atacama and our Lithium Chemical Plant, along with the implementation of ISO 50001, as recommended by the certification body to certify our energy management system. We also obtained ISO 50001 certification for our Nueva Victoria, Coya Sur facilities. In 2023, the Port of Tocopilla was certified by EcoPorts, a leading environmental initiative for
the European port sector. We participated in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) assessment and were accepted in the World, Emerging Markets, Mila and Chile indices, and were included in the Sustainability Yearbook 2024. We were evaluated in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) where we received a B category climate change rating, which is above the global average (C category) and in line with the global average for the chemical industry (B- category).
While we are dedicated to our sustainability-related efforts, if we do not adequately address all relevant stakeholder concerns regarding ESG criteria, we may face opposition, which could negatively affect our reputation, delay operations or result in threats or litigation actions. If we do not maintain our reputation with key stakeholders and interest groups and effectively manage these sensitive issues, they could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Climate change and a global transition to a low carbon economy can create physical risks and other risks that could adversely affect our business and operations and adverse weather conditions or significant changes in weather patterns could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
The impact of climate change and climate change-driven responses, such as a global transition to a low carbon economy on our operations and our customers’ operations, remains uncertain, but the regulatory, market-risks associated with climate change as well as the physical effects of climate change could have an adverse effect on our operations, employees, communities, supply chain and our customers.
11

Table of Contents
Climate-derived threats include, among others, changes in regional weather patterns, including changes in precipitation and evaporation parameters that, on the one hand, some phenomena could intensify, bringing intense rains in short periods of time that generate other unwanted events that affect our operation and also our surrounding communities, such as road closures, infrastructure, landslides, among others. Additionally, rising sea levels and storm surges, increasing the days of port closures that could impact the supply chain affecting our customers and suppliers. Other events such as storm patterns and intensities, increased wind speed, heat waves, cold waves, among other events considered as acute physical risks of climate change. Other effects are related to temperature levels, including increased volatility in seasonal temperatures through excessively high or low temperatures. These extreme weather conditions may vary by geography and location. Weather conditions have historically caused volatility in the agricultural industry (and indirectly in our results of operations) by causing crop failures or significantly reduced harvests, which can adversely affect application rates, demand for our plant nutrition products and our customers’ creditworthiness. Weather conditions can also lead to a reduction in farmable acres, flooding, drought or wildfires, which could also adversely impact growers’ crop yields and the uptake of plant nutrients, reducing the need for application of plant nutrition products for the next planting season which could result in lower demand for our plant nutrition products and negatively impact the prices of our products.
Any prolonged change in weather patterns in our markets, as a result of climate change or otherwise, could have a material adverse impact on the results of our operations.
Risks Relating to Financial Markets
Currency fluctuations may have a negative effect on our financial performance.
We transact a significant portion of our business in U.S. dollars, and the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate. In addition, the U.S. dollar is our functional currency for financial statement reporting purposes. A significant portion of our costs, however, is related to the Chilean peso. Therefore, an increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar would affect our costs of production. The Chilean peso has been subject to large devaluations and revaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. As of December 31, 2024, the Chilean peso exchange rate was Ch$996.46 per U.S. dollar, while as of December 31, 2023 the Chilean peso exchange rate was Ch$877.12 per U.S. dollar. The Chilean peso therefore depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 13.6% in 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Observed Exchange Rate was Ch$946.10 per U.S. dollar.
As an international company operating in several other countries, we also transact business and have assets and liabilities in other non-U.S. dollar currencies, such as, among others, the Euro, the South African rand, the Mexican peso, the Chinese yuan, the Thai baht and the Brazilian real.
As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rates of such foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to risks associated with the discontinuation, reform or replacement of benchmark indices.
Interest rate, foreign exchange rate and other types of indices which are deemed to be “benchmarks” are the subject of increased regulatory scrutiny and may be discontinued, reformed or replaced. For example, in 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) benchmark after 2021 and LIBOR eventually ceased publication on June 30, 2023. As was the case with LIBOR, other future reforms may, cause benchmarks to be different than they have been in the past, or to disappear entirely, or have other consequences which cannot be fully anticipated which introduces a number of risks for our business. These risks include (i) legal risks arising from potential changes required to document new and existing transactions; (ii) financial risks arising from any changes in the valuation of financial instruments linked to benchmark rates; (iii) pricing risks arising from how changes to benchmark indices could impact pricing mechanisms on some instruments; (iv) operational risks arising from the potential requirement to adapt IT systems, trade reporting infrastructure and operational processes; and (v) conduct risks arising from the potential impact of communication with customers and engagement during the transition period. Various replacement benchmarks, and the timing of and mechanisms for implementation are being considered. The transition away from LIBOR to risk-free reference rates (RFRs) requires financial firms to make a variety of internal changes, for example updating front-and back-office systems, retraining staff and redesigning processes, as well as potentially modifying or renegotiating potentially thousands of LIBOR-linked contracts. However, the discontinuation or reformation of existing benchmark rates or the implementation of
12

Table of Contents
alternative benchmark rates may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the financial benchmarks, there are also market benchmarks used for the pricing of our long-term supply contracts, which may also be subject to regulatory scrutiny, or which may be discontinued, reformed or replaced. For example, for some of our long-term supply contracts, prices reference to indices prepared by commodity reporting agencies such as the Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) and Fastmarkets.
Risks Relating to Chile
The National Lithium Strategy announced by the Chilean government in April 2023 has created and may continue to create uncertainty in the Chilean lithium industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business performance or the value of our shares and ADRs.
On April 20, 2023, President Boric announced a new National Lithium Strategy that would, among other things, create a National Lithium Company (subject to approval by the Chilean Congress), with one of its objectives being to provide for the Chilean state’s participation in lithium-related activities in the Salar de Atacama.
In connection with the announcement, President Boric provided statements with respect to the following matters:
•Under the National Lithium Strategy, Codelco would be tasked by Corfo to lead the formation of the new National Lithium Company and would become its majority shareholder. Codelco would also be designated to lead negotiations with SQM to seek participation in SQM’s operations in the Salar de Atacama prior to its expiration in 2030, as well as similar negotiations with other mining companies operating in the Salar de Atacama. President Boric and Corfo have affirmed that the terms of existing mining leases in the Salar de Atacama would be respected and any Chilean state participation in their operations would be with the agreement of the applicable counterparty.
•For areas already under development by Codelco and Enami (the Chilean state-owned minerals company) for lithium, new lithium exploration and exploitation contracts would only be granted by the Chilean state to Codelco and Enami subsidiaries, who would decide whether or not to partner with private parties for the development projects. There would be a public bid process for exploration rights over unexplored areas. Any private entities seeking exploitation rights would be required to partner with a state-owned company who would be the controller of the project if it is declared to be strategic for the country.
There can be no assurance that the necessary elements of the National Lithium Strategy requiring Congressional action will be approved by the Chilean Congress. The National Lithium Strategy has created and may create uncertainty in the Chilean lithium industry. On May 31, 2024, SQM and Codelco entered into a partnership agreement which establishes the rights and obligations of the parties to form their partnership for the development of mining and production activities aimed at the production of lithium, potassium and other products from the properties of Corfo in the Salar de Atacama and their subsequent marketing (directly or through its subsidiaries or representative offices). The formation of the joint venture is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent. There can be no assurance that the conditions precedent will be satisfied or waived. Failure to consummate the formation of the new entity could adversely impact SQM’s ability to participate in the mineral exploitation in the Salar de Atacama concession beyond the expiration of the SQM-Corfo Agreements in December 2030 or to what extent the Chilean state will participate in SQM’s interest in its current Salar de Atacama mineral exploitation operations prior to the December 2030 expiration of the SQM-Corfo Agreements.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues related to products originating from the Salar de Atacama represented 55% of our total consolidated revenues. Approximately 49% of our total consolidated revenues were represented by lithium products. The National Lithium Strategy has created and may continue to create uncertainty in the Chilean lithium industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business performance or the value of our shares and ADRs.
See “— Risks Relating to our Business — Our inability to extend on favorable terms our access to the mineral exploitation rights relating to the Salar de Atacama concession, upon which our business is substantially dependent, beyond the expiration date of our current agreements in December 2030 through the formation of the association agreement with Codelco could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

As we are a company based in Chile, we are exposed to political risks in Chile and uncertainty regarding surrounding the upcoming general and presidential elections.
Our business, financial conditions and results of operations could be affected by changes in policies of the Chilean government, other political developments in or affecting Chile, legal changes in the standards or administrative practices of Chilean authorities or the interpretation of such standards and practices, over which we have no control. Upcoming general and presidential elections in November 2025, create heightened uncertainty regarding monetary, fiscal, tax, social and other policies. We have no control over the new government policies and cannot predict how those policies or government intervention will affect the Chilean economy or social conditions, or, directly and indirectly, our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Changes in policies involving exploitation of natural resources, taxation and other matters related to our industry may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations. Changes in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in Chile, as well as crises and political uncertainties in Chile, could adversely affect economic growth in Chile.
Future adverse developments in Chile, including upcoming general and presidential elections, other political events, financial or other crises, changes to policies regarding foreign exchange controls, regulations, and taxation, may impair our ability to execute our business plan and could adversely affect our growth, results of operations, and financial condition. Inflation, devaluation, social instability, and other political, economic, or diplomatic developments could also reduce our profitability. Economic and market conditions in Chilean financial and capital markets may be affected by international events, which could unfavorably affect the value of our securities.
Changes in regulations regarding, or any revocation or suspension of mining, port or other concessions could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We conduct our mining operations, including brine extraction, under exploitation and exploration concessions granted in accordance with provisions of the Chilean Constitution and related laws and statutes. Our exploitation concessions essentially grant a perpetual right (with the exception of the rights granted to SQM Salar with respect to the Salar de Atacama concessions under the SQM-Corfo Agreements described above, which expires in 2030) to conduct mining operations in the areas covered by the concessions, provided that we pay annual concession fees. Our exploration concessions permit us to explore for mineral resources on the land covered thereby for a specified period of time and to subsequently request a corresponding exploitation concession. Any changes to the Chilean Constitution with respect to the exploitation and exploration of natural resources and concessions granted as a result of the constitutional convention could materially adversely affect our existing exploitation and exploration concessions or our ability to obtain future concessions and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We also operate port facilities at Tocopilla, Chile, for the shipment of products and the delivery of raw materials pursuant to maritime concessions, which have been granted under applicable Chilean laws and are normally renewable on application, provided that such facilities are used as authorized and annual concession fees are paid.
Any significant adverse changes to any of these concessions, any changes to regulations to which we are subject or adverse changes to our other concession rights, or a revocation or suspension of any of our concessions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in water rights laws and other regulations could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We hold water use rights that are key to our operations. These rights were obtained from the Chilean Water Authority (Dirección General de Aguas) for supply of water from rivers and wells near our production facilities, which we believe are sufficient to meet current operating requirements.
In January 2022, the Chilean Congress approved a bill that amends the Chilean Water Code (Código de Agua), which was published on April, 6, 2022, becoming an applicable Chilean law. This modification introduces several changes to the Water Code. A significant amendment is the change in the time periods for which the water rights were granted. According to this new legislation, water rights: (1) will have a temporary nature being granted for a maximum of 30 years (the specific period will depend on the characteristic of the riverbed and its water availability); (2) will be subject, in whole or in part, to expiration for its non-use; (3) will have to give human consumption and sanitation priority in the use of water (establishing priority orders and possible limitations in the granting and use of water depending on its destination); (4) will be subject to a minimum ecological flow to ensure nature conservation and environmental protection, as determined by the Chilean
14

Table of Contents
Water Authority; and (5) will be subject to the obligation of registration in the respective Real Estate Registry and in the Public Water Cadaster of the Chilean Water Authority, and to sanctions of expiration and fines in case of non-compliance.
The Chilean Congress is considering a draft bill that declares lithium mining to be in the national interest, which if passed in its current form, could enable the expropriation of our lithium assets.
The Chilean Congress is currently discussing a bill, Bulletin No. 10,638-08, which “Declares the exploitation and commercialization of lithium and Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. to be of national interest.” The purpose of this bill is to enable the potential expropriation of our assets, or our lithium operations in general. The bill is subject to further discussion in the Chilean Congress, which includes several possible changes to its current wording. We cannot guarantee that the bill will not eventually be approved by the Chilean Congress, or that its final wording will not refer to us or our lithium operations. If the bill is approved as currently drafted, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Chilean government could levy additional taxes on mining companies, which may include lithium exploitation companies, operating in Chile.
The Chilean Internal Revenue Service ("SII" in its Spanish acronym) has sought to extend the specific tax on mining activities to lithium mining, which is not concessionable by law. As of December 31, 2023, SQM had paid a total of US$986.3 million for specific tax on mining activities applied to lithium related to tax years 2012 to 2023 (fiscal years 2011 to 2022). SQM Salar has filed seven tax claims against the SII. The amount paid included US$59.5 million in over-assessed amounts, US$818.0 million in disputed taxes (net of the corporate income tax impact), and US$108.8 million in interest and penalties. On April 5, 2024, the Santiago Court of Appeals issued a ruling on one of the tax claims, case No. 312-2022, overturning the ruling previously issued by the Santiago Metropolitan Region Tax and Customs Court, which had upheld SQM Salar’s action for annulment on public law grounds regarding tax assessments for tax years 2017 and 2018. Although this ruling by the Santiago Court of Appeals does not affect the other claims filed by SQM Salar against the SII and is still subject to appeal by SQM Salar, it prompted a review of the accounting treatment of the tax claims by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company recognized a tax expense of US$1,106.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 (US$926.7 million for fiscal years 2011 to 2022, US$162.8 million for the fiscal year 2023, and US$16.7 million for fiscal year 2024). This expense reflects the potential impact of the Santiago Court of Appeals ruling on the tax claims. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-current tax receivables of US$59.5 million.
If the SII ultimately prevails in the pending legal proceedings or continues to assess additional taxes based on its interpretation of the application of the mining tax specific to the extraction of lithium, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
New legislation affecting mining licenses could materially adversely affect our mining licenses and mining concessions.
Law No. 21,420, published in the Official Gazette on February 4, 2022, reduces or eliminates certain tax exemptions in order to finance a new social security program called “Universal Guaranteed Pension”. Among other changes, this law contemplates amendments to the Chilean Mining Code, such as: (i) the increase in the value of the mining licenses related to the mining concessions (an increase of at least 4 times the previous value); (ii) the modification of the term on which the mining exploration concessions are granted and the prohibition on the holder to obtain a new mining exploration concession in the same area once the previous concession has expired; and (iii) amendments to the mining concessions award process.
Ratification of the International Labor Organization’s Convention 169 concerning indigenous and tribal peoples might affect our development plans.
Chile, a member of the International Labor Organization (“ILO”), has ratified the ILO’s Convention 169 (the “Indigenous Peoples Convention”) concerning indigenous and tribal people. The Indigenous Peoples Convention established several rights for indigenous people and communities. Among other rights, the Indigenous Peoples Convention states that (i) indigenous groups should be notified and consulted prior to the development of any project on land deemed indigenous, although veto rights are not mentioned, and (ii) indigenous groups have, to the extent possible, a stake in benefits resulting from the exploitation of natural resources in indigenous land. The extent of these benefits has not been defined by the Chilean government. The Chilean government has addressed item (i) above through Supreme Decree No. 66, issued by the Social Development Ministry. This decree requires government entities to consult indigenous groups that may be directly
15

Table of Contents
affected by the adoption of legislative or administrative measures, and it also defines criteria for the projects or activities that must be reviewed through the environmental evaluation system that also require such consultation. To the extent that the new rights outlined in the Indigenous Peoples Convention become laws or regulations in Chile, judicial interpretations of the convention of those laws or regulations could affect the development of our investment projects in lands that have been defined as indigenous, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Chilean Supreme Court has consistently held that consultation processes must be carried out in the manner prescribed by the Indigenous Peoples Convention.
The consultation process may cause delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits, as well as public opposition by local and/or international political, environmental and ethnic groups, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas or in areas inhabited by indigenous populations. Furthermore, the omission of the consultation process when required by law may result in the revocation or annulment of regulatory approvals, including environmental permits already granted.
Consequently, operating projects may be affected since the omission of the consultation process, when required by law, could lead to public law annulment actions pursuing the annulment of the environmental permits granted.
However, this risk frequently arises during the environmental assessment phase when the environmental permits are to be obtained. In such scenario, affected parties may take several legal actions to declare null or void the environmental permits that omitted the consultation process, and in some cases, courts have overturned environmental approvals in which consultation was not made as prescribed in the Indigenous Peoples Convention.
If the Indigenous Peoples Convention affects our development plans, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations and projects are subject to risks related to our relationships and/or agreements with local communities and laws on the rights of indigenous peoples.
Our operations and projects are subject to risks related to our relationships and/or agreements with local communities and laws on the rights of indigenous peoples. Our relationships with the communities that are located near our operations are essential to the success of our existing operations, exploration activities and the development of our production facilities. A failure to manage relationships with such local communities may lead to local dissatisfaction which, in turn, may lead to interruptions to our operations, exploration activities and development activities.
The Atacameño Peoples Council (Consejo de Pueblos Atacameños), which represents 18 Atacameño indigenous communities, advocates for the rights, traditions, and interests of the Atacameño people, including land use, environmental protection, and economic development in the Atacama region of Chile. On December 15, 2023, we signed an agreement with Codelco and the Atacameños Indigenous Organization to include the Atacameños Indigenous Organization in discussions regarding extending lithium extraction in the Salar de Atacama beyond 2030 through an association agreement with Codelco. However, in January 2024, a disagreement within the Atacameños Peoples Council led to a blockade of the main roads to our Salar de Atacama facilities for four days by a splinter group to express their dissent towards the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding we signed with Codelco for the operation and development of lithium extraction in the Salar de Atacama from 2025 to 2060. The blockade resulted in a shutdown of operations at our Salar de Atacama facilities for one day and was quickly resolved. However, there can be no assurance that other disruptions of our operations in the Salar de Atacama or elsewhere by members of the local communities near our operations may not occur again in the future.
Our lease agreement with Corfo, which grants us exclusive rights to exploit mineral resources in the Salar de Atacama until 2030, includes a commitment to invest between US$10 million and US$15 million annually in sustainable development projects for the Atacama La Grande indigenous communities through organizations promoting local development. We are dedicated to maintaining open, constructive dialogues with the local communities, primarily via roundtable discussions.
Disputes with the local communities that live near the Salar de Atacama may in the future interfere with our operations and/or result in additional operating costs or restrictions and adversely impact the use and enjoyment of mining rights with respect to our assets. Specific challenges in community relations include community concerns over management of increased traffic, environmental impacts and resource depletion, social, environmental and cultural heritage impacts, increasing expectations regarding the level of benefits that communities receive, benefits sharing with indigenous peoples’ governments, concerns focused on the level of transparency regarding the payment of compensation and the provision of
16

Table of Contents
other benefits to affected landholders and the wider community. In particular, opposition by indigenous communities to our activities may require modifications, disrupt or preclude our operations, our exploration activities or the development of our production facilities or may require entry into additional agreements with local communities, which may result in additional costs.
Our current and future operations are subject to a risk that one or more indigenous communities in the locations in which we operate may oppose continued operation, further development or new development of our operations and facilities. Claims and protests driven by such opposition may disrupt or delay activities, including permitting, at our operations and facilities. The negotiation and review of agreements, including components such as business development, participation, co-management and compensation and other benefits, involve complicated and sensitive issues, associated expectations and often competing interests. The nature and subject matter of these negotiations may result in community unrest which, in some instances, may lead to interruptions in our exploration programs, operational activities or delays to development of our production facilities.
Chile has different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those you may be familiar with in the United States.
Accounting, financial reporting and securities disclosure requirements in Chile differ in certain significant respects from those required in the United States. Accordingly, the information about us available to you will not be the same as the information available to holders of securities issued by a U.S. company. In addition, although Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, applicable Chilean laws are different from those in the United States, and the Chilean securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets.
Chile is located in a seismically active region.
Chile is prone to earthquakes because it is located along major fault lines. During 2017-2023, Chile has experienced several earthquakes which had a magnitude of over 6.0 on the Richter scale. There were also earthquakes in the past decade that caused substantial damage to some areas of the country. Chile has also experienced volcanic activity. A major earthquake or a volcanic eruption could have significant negative consequences for our operations and for the general infrastructure, such as roads, rail, and access to goods, in Chile. Although we maintain industry standard insurance policies that include earthquake coverage, we cannot assure you that a future seismic or volcanic event will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Company's Shares and ADRs:
The price of our ADRs and the U.S. dollar value of any dividends will be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/Chilean peso exchange rate.
Chilean trading in the shares underlying our ADRs is conducted in Chilean pesos. The depositary for our ADRs will receive cash distributions that we make with respect to the shares in Chilean pesos. The depositary will convert such Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate to make dividend and other distribution payments in respect of ADRs. If the value of the Chilean peso falls relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the ADRs and any distributions to be received from the depositary will decrease.
Developments in other emerging markets could materially affect the value of our ADRs and our shares.
The Chilean financial and securities markets are, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries or regions of the world. Although economic conditions are different in each country or region, investor reaction to developments in one country or region can have significant effects on the securities of issuers in other countries and regions, including Chile and Latin America. Events in other parts of the world may have a material effect on Chilean financial and securities markets and on the value of our ADRs and our shares.
The prices of securities issued by Chilean companies, including banks, are influenced to varying degrees by economic and market considerations in other countries. We cannot assure you that future developments in or affecting the Chilean economy, including consequences of economic difficulties in other markets, will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents
We are exposed to risks related to the weakness and volatility of the economic and political situation in Asia, the United States, Europe, other parts of Latin America and other nations. Although economic conditions in Europe and the United States may differ significantly from economic conditions in Chile, investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Chilean issuers.
If these, or other nations’ economic conditions deteriorate, the economy in Chile, as both a neighboring country and a trading partner, could also be affected and could experience slower growth than in recent years, with possible adverse impact on our borrowers and counterparties.
The volatility and low liquidity of the Chilean securities markets could affect the ability of our shareholders to sell our ADRs.
The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. The volatility and low liquidity of the Chilean markets could increase the price volatility of our ADRs and may impair the ability of a holder to sell our ADRs or to sell the shares underlying our ADRs into the Chilean market in the amount and at the price and time the holder wishes to do so.
Our share or ADR price may react negatively to future acquisitions, divestitures, capital increases and investments.
As world leaders in our core businesses, part of our strategy is to look for opportunities that will allow us to consolidate and strengthen our competitive position in jurisdictions in which we currently do not operate. Pursuant to this strategy, we may carry out acquisitions or joint ventures relating to any of our businesses or to new businesses in which we believe we may have sustainable competitive advantages. We may also seek to strengthen our leadership position in our core businesses through divestitures of certain assets or stakes in subsidiaries that we believe will allow us to concentrate our efforts on our core businesses. Depending on our capital structure at the time of any acquisitions or joint ventures, we may need to raise significant debt and/or equity which will affect our financial condition and future cash flows. We may also carry out capital increases, such as the one undertaken in 2021, in order to raise capital for our capital plan. In addition, any divestitures we effect may not result in strengthening our position in our core businesses as anticipated. Any change in our financial condition could affect our results of operations and negatively impact our share or ADR price.
ADR holders may be unable to enforce rights under U.S. securities laws.
Because we are a Chilean company subject to Chilean law, the rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights of shareholders in companies incorporated in the United States, and ADR holders may not be able to enforce or may have difficulty enforcing rights currently in effect under U.S. federal or state securities laws.
Our company is an open stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Chile. Most of our directors and officers reside outside the United States, principally in Chile. All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, if any of our shareholders, including holders of our ADRs, were to bring a lawsuit against our officers or directors in the United States, it may be difficult for them to effect service of legal process within the United States upon these persons. Likewise, it may be difficult for them to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws in the United States against them in the United States.
In addition, there is no treaty between the United States and Chile providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. However, Chilean courts have enforced judgments rendered in the United States, provided that the Chilean court finds that the United States court respected basic principles of due process and public policy. Nevertheless, there is doubt as to whether an action could be brought successfully in Chile in the first instance on the basis of liability based solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.
If preemptive rights are unavailable for our ADR holders, their holdings may be diluted if we issue new stock.
Chilean laws require companies to offer their shareholders preemptive rights whenever issuing new shares of capital stock so shareholders can maintain their existing ownership percentage in a company. If we increase our capital by issuing new shares, a holder may subscribe for up to the number of shares that would prevent dilution of the holder’s ownership interest.
18

Table of Contents
If we issue preemptive rights, United States holders of ADRs would not be able to exercise their rights unless a registration statement under the Securities Act were effective with respect to such rights and the shares issuable upon exercise of such rights or an exemption from registration were available. We cannot assure holders of ADRs that we will file a registration statement or that an exemption from registration will be available. Although in connection with the 2021 capital increase, we filed a registration statement that permitted holders of ADRs to exercise preemptive rights, we may, in our absolute discretion, decide not to prepare and file such a registration statement in a future capital increase. If our ADR holders were unable to exercise their preemptive rights in a future capital increase because we do not file a registration statement, the ADR depositary would attempt to sell their rights and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to them, after deducting the depositary’s fees and expenses. If the ADR depositary is not able sell the rights, the rights would expire and have no further value and holders of ADRs would not realize any value from them. In either case, ADR holders’ equity interests in us would be diluted in proportion to the increase in our capital stock.
If we were classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, there could be adverse consequences for U.S. investors.
We believe that we were not classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) for 2024. Characterization as a PFIC could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to a U.S. investor in our shares or ADRs. For example, if we (or any of our subsidiaries) are a PFIC, our U.S. investors may become subject to increased tax liabilities under U.S. tax laws and regulations and will become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. The determination of whether or not we (or any of our subsidiaries or portfolio companies) are a PFIC is made on an annual basis and will depend on the composition of our (or their) income and assets from time to time. See “Item 10.E. Taxation—Material United States Tax Considerations.”
Dividends and distributions to ADR holders may be limited by practical considerations and legal limitations, which may delay the payment and receipt of dividends and distributions to ADR holders.
Holders of ADRs generally have the right to receive dividends and other distributions we make on Series B common shares held by the ADR custodian under the terms of the deposit agreement in proportion to the number of ADRs held as of the specified record date, after deduction of the applicable fees, taxes and expenses. Receipt of these dividends and distributions may be limited by practical considerations and legal limitations, which may delay the payment and receipt of dividends and distributions by ADR holders.
Changes in Chilean tax regulations could have adverse consequences for U.S. investors.
Cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to the shares, including the shares represented by ADRs, will be subject to a Chilean withholding tax at a rate of 35%, less the credit available for corporate tax, which must be withheld and paid by the Company (the “Withholding Tax”). The effective rate of Withholding Tax imposed on dividends attributed to earnings in 2024 of the Company and distributed during the same period was 23.90411%.
Changes in Chilean tax regulations could have adverse consequences for U.S. investors. For example, the changes introduced by Law No. 21,420 published in the Official Gazette on February 4, 2022 and effective on September 1, 2022, by which the highest value or gain obtained in the sale on the stock exchange or in a public offering process of shares of corporations with a high stock market presence will be affected by a single tax with a rate of 10%, except for certain institutional investors, could have adverse tax consequences for investors resident in the United States. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Chile—The Chilean Government Could Levy Additional Taxes on Corporations Operating in Chile” and “Item 10.E. Taxation—Material Chilean Tax Considerations.”
General Risk Factors
Our measures to minimize our exposure to bad debt may not be effective and a significant increase in our accounts receivable coupled with the financial condition of customers may result in losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Potentially negative effects of global economic conditions on the financial condition of our customers may include the extension of the payment terms of our accounts receivable and may increase our exposure to bad debt. While we have implemented certain safeguards, such as using credit insurance, letters of credit and prepayment for a portion of sales, to minimize the risk, we cannot assure you that such safeguards will be effective and a significant increase in our accounts receivable coupled with the financial condition of customers may result in losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
19

Table of Contents
Quality standards in markets in which we sell our products could become stricter over time.
In the markets in which we do business, customers may impose quality standards on our products and/or governments may enact stricter regulations for the distribution and/or use of our products. As a result, if we cannot meet such new standards or regulations, we may not be able to sell our products. In addition, our cost of production may increase in order to meet any such newly imposed or enacted standards or regulations. Failure to sell our products in one or more markets or to important customers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is subject to many operating and other risks for which we may not be fully covered under our insurance policies.
Our facilities and business operations in Chile and abroad are insured against losses, damage or other risks by insurance policies that are standard for the industry and that would reasonably be expected to be sufficient by prudent and experienced persons engaged in businesses similar to ours.
We may be subject to certain events that may not be covered under our insurance policies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as a result of major earthquakes and unexpected rains and flooding in Chile, as well as other natural disasters worldwide, conditions in the insurance market have changed and may continue to change in the future, and as a result, we may face higher premiums and reduced coverage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our water supply could be affected by geological changes or climate change.
Our access to water may be impacted by changes in geology, climate change or other natural factors, such as wells drying up or reductions in the amount of water available in the wells or rivers from which we obtain water, that we cannot control. The use of seawater for future or current operations could increase our operating costs. In addition, seawater projects could face timing issues and permits uncertainty which make them difficult to develop and construct. Any such change may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any loss of key personnel may materially and adversely affect our business.
Our success depends in large part on the skills, experience and efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss of the services of key members of our senior management or employees with critical skills could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to attract or retain highly skilled, talented and qualified senior managers or other key personnel, our ability to fully implement our business objectives may be materially and adversely affected.
We are subject to Chilean and international anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and international trade laws. Failure to comply with these laws could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are required to be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in Chile and internationally with respect to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other regulatory matters, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Although we and our subsidiaries maintain policies, processes and controls intended to comply with these laws, we cannot ensure that these compliance policies and processes will prevent intentional, reckless or negligent acts committed by our officers or employees.
We have received a request for information and subpoena from the SEC requesting information related to our business operations, compliance program, and allegations of potential violations of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws. The SEC has said that the investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry and we are not aware that any conclusion has been reached by the SEC. We initiated an internal review to identify materials that are responsive to the SEC’s inquiry and are actively cooperating in the SEC’s review by providing the information requested. We are cooperating fully with the SEC regarding this matter. However, at this time we cannot predict when the SEC’s review will be completed, the outcome of its inquiry, what conclusions it may reach, any actions it may take as a result of its inquiry, or the impact of such conclusions or actions on our business, financial conditions or results of operations.
If we or our subsidiaries fail to comply with any applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering or other similar laws, we and our officers and employees may be subject to criminal, administrative or civil penalties and other
20

Table of Contents
remedial measures, which could have material adverse effects on our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations. Any investigation of potential violations of anti-corruption, anti-bribery or anti-money laundering laws by governmental authorities in Chile or other jurisdictions could result in an inability to prepare our consolidated financial statements in a timely manner, which could adversely impact our reputation, ability to access the financial markets and ability to obtain contracts, assignments, permits and other government authorizations necessary to participate in our and our subsidiaries’ industry, which, in turn, could have adverse effects on our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks related to the armed conflicts in other areas of the world, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Global markets have been and may continue to be subjected to periods of economic uncertainty, volatility and disruption due to armed conflicts around the world. Since 2022, there has been an ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and since 2023 there have been armed conflicts in the Middle East, such as in Gaza and between Israel and Iran.
The Russia-Ukraine military conflict has provoked strong reactions from the United States, the UK, the European Union and various other countries around the world, including the imposition of broad financial and economic sanctions against Russia in the past years. However, President Trump has recently made several statements signaling a shift from the previous administration approach to U.S. foreign policy regarding Ukraine, NATO and Gaza, which could have material effects on the global political and economic landscape.
While the precise effects of the ongoing military conflict on the global economies remain uncertain, they have already resulted in significant volatility in financial markets as well as in an increase in energy and commodity prices globally. Should the conflict continue or escalate, markets may face various economic and security consequences including, but not limited to, supply shortages of different kinds, further increases in prices of commodities, including natural gas, oil, fertilizers and agricultural goods, significant disruptions in logistics infrastructure, telecommunications services, the risk of unavailability of information technology systems and infrastructure, among others, as well as potentially limiting access to financial markets. The resulting impacts on financial markets, inflation, interest rates, unemployment and other matters could disrupt the global economy. Other potential consequences include, but are not limited to, growth in the number of popular uprisings in the region, increased political discontent, especially in the regions most affected by the conflict or economic sanctions, increase in cyberterrorism activities and attacks, displacement of persons to regions close to the areas of conflict and an increase in the number of refugees fleeing the regions with armed conflicts, among other unforeseen social and humanitarian effects.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
4.A.History and Development of the Company
Historical Background
Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. is an open stock corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile. We were constituted by public deed issued on June 17, 1968 by the Notary Public of Santiago, Mr. Sergio Rodríguez Garcés. Our existence was approved by Decree No. 1,164 of June 22, 1968 of the Ministry of Finance, and we were registered on June 29, 1968 in the Registry of Commerce of Santiago, on page 4,537 No. 1,992. Our headquarters is located at El Trovador 4285, Fl. 6, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. Our telephone number is +56 2 2425-2000. We are legally referred to by our full name Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. as well as commercially by the abbreviated name “SQM.” Our Website is www.sqm.com. The information contained on or linked from our website is not included as part of, or incorporated by reference into this report. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, such as our company, at www.sec.gov.
We were formed in 1968 through a joint venture between Compañía Salitrera Anglo Lautaro S.A. (“Anglo Lautaro”) and Corfo, a Chilean government entity. In 1971, Anglo Lautaro sold all of its shares to Corfo, and we were wholly owned by the Chilean government until 1983. In 1983, Corfo began a process of privatization by selling our shares to the public and subsequently listing such shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange. By 1988, all of our shares were publicly owned. Our ADRs have traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SQM” since 1993. Each ADR represents one Series B common share. We have from time to time accessed international capital markets for the issuance of additional ADRs, including our US$1.1 billion capital increase in 2021.
Since our inception, we have produced nitrates and iodine, which are obtained from the caliche ore deposits in northern Chile. In 1985, we began to use heap leaching processes to extract nitrates and iodine, and in 1986 we started to produce
21

Table of Contents
potassium nitrate at our Coya Sur facility. Between 1994 and 1999, we invested approximately US$300 million in the development of the Salar de Atacama project in northern Chile, which has enabled us to produce potassium chloride, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, potassium sulfate and boric acid.
From 2000 through 2004, we principally consolidated the investments carried out in the preceding five years. We focused on reducing costs and improving efficiencies throughout the organization.
Starting in 2005, we began strengthening our leadership position in our core businesses through a combination of capital expenditures and advantageous acquisitions and divestitures.
Our capital expenditure program has allowed us to add new products to our product lines and increase the production capacity of our existing products. In 2005, we started production of lithium hydroxide at a plant in our Lithium Chemical Plant, near the city of Antofagasta in the north of Chile. In 2007, we completed the construction of a new prilling and granulating plant for nitrates in Coya Sur. In 2011, we completed expansions of our lithium carbonate capacity, achieving 48,000 metric tons of capacity per year. Since 2010, we have continued to expand our production capacity of potassium products in our operations in the Salar de Atacama. In 2011, we completed the construction of a new potassium nitrate facility in Coya Sur, increasing our overall production capacity of potassium nitrate by 300,000 metric tons per year. In 2013, we completed expansions in the production capacity of our iodine plants in Nueva Victoria. Our capital expenditure program also includes exploration for metallic minerals. Our exploration efforts have led to discoveries that in some cases may result in sales of the discovery and the generation of royalty income in the future. Within this context, in 2013 we sold our royalty rights to the Antucoya mining project to Antofagasta Minerals.
In 2014, we invested in the development of new extraction sectors and production increases in both nitrates and iodine at Nueva Victoria, reaching an approximate iodine production capacity (including the Iris facility) of 8,500 metric tons per year at the facility.
In 2015, we focused on increasing the efficiency of our operations. Within this context, we announced a plan to restructure our iodine and nitrate operations. In an effort to take advantage of our highly efficient production facilities at our Nueva Victoria site, we decided to suspend the mining and nitrate operations and reduce iodine production at our Pedro de Valdivia site. During 2017, we increased our iodine production capacity at Nueva Victoria to approximately 10,000 metric tons per year. We continued expanding our iodine capacity in 2018, which, including Pedro de Valdivia and Nueva Victoria, reached approximately 14,000 metric tons per year.
In 2017, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with respect to the Mt. Holland lithium project to design, construct and operate a mine, concentrator and refinery for the production of lithium hydroxide.
On September 23, 2019, Wesfarmers Limited (“Wesfarmers”) acquired all the issued ordinary shares in our joint venture partner and became a 50% partner in the Mt. Holland lithium project in the joint venture with SQM Australia Pty.
In October 2020, we announced our Sustainable Development Plan, which includes voluntarily expanding our monitoring systems, promoting better and more meaningful conversations with neighboring communities, becoming carbon neutral and reducing water by 65% and brine extraction by 50%. As part of this plan, we also set a goal to obtain international certifications and participate in international sustainability indices.
In 2021, in the Salar de Atacama, we began preparing an external audit in IRMA’s rigorous responsible mining evaluation process. In February 2021, the Board approved the development cost of the Mt. Holland project in Western Australia, and our lithium carbonate production in Chile, reached an effective capacity of 120,000 metric tons. Also, in 2021, we completed a capital increase in the amount of approximately US$1.1 billion.
In November 2021, we were accepted into the Dow Jones Sustainability Chile and the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Indices for the second year in a row.
In 2022, we completed our lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide expansion projects in Chile, increasing production capacity to 180,000 metric tons and 30,000 metric tons, respectively. We also began the overhaul of a lithium hydroxide plant in China which will be fed with lithium sulfate from Chile. We completed phase 2 of the ISO 14001 and 45001 certification process in the Salar de Atacama and our Lithium Chemical Plant, and continued with the implementation process of ISO 50001 in the Salar de Atacama, Nueva Victoria and Coya Sur operations to support decarbonization goals associated with energy management systems. Additionally, we participated in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI)
22

assessment and were accepted into the MILA and Chile indices for the third consecutive year and were included in the Sustainability Yearbook 2023. We evaluated ourselves in Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) where we received a category B climate change rating, which is higher than the global average (category C) and in line with the global chemicals industry average (category B-). During 2022-2023, we continued with the IRMA certification process and completed the on-site certification audit (phase 2) in the Salar de Atacama operation.
In 2023, we made significant progress in certifications and sustainability. For example, in September, we achieved a score of 75 in the IRMA standard at the Salar de Atacama, one of the most rigorous and respected sustainability standards. This score is the highest ever awarded to a lithium company worldwide. In addition, we completed the recertification of ISO 14001 and 45001 standards at the Salar de Atacama and the Lithium Chemical Plant. We obtained ISO 50001 certification (energy management system) for our operations in the northern region (SQM Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division) and began its implementation in the SQM Lithium Chile Division. Finally, we were once again accepted in the DJSI and Emerging Markets indices, and received a B- rating in the CDP water assessment. In terms of operations, we continue to expand our lithium production capacity both in Chile and abroad. In December 2023, together with Hancock Prospecting, owner of approximately 18.4% of the shares of Azure Minerals Limited ("Azure Minerals"), we entered into a transaction implementation agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Azure Minerals through a joint scheme. Finally, at the end of 2023, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Codelco for the joint development of the Salar de Atacama between 2025 and 2060.
In May 2024, we completed the joint acquisition of Azure Minerals with Hancock, with each company now owning a 50% interest in Azure Minerals, whose principal asset is a 60% interest in the Andover lithium project in Western Australia, currently in the early exploration stage.
On May 31, 2024, we signed an agreement with Codelco for the joint exploitation of the Salar de Atacama between 2025 and 2060. The materialization of this agreement is subject to the fulfillment of a number of conditions precedent.
In terms of production capacity, we continued with our expansion projects for both lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. As a result, in 2024, our Lithium Chemical Plant reached a capacity of 210,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate, with plans to increase to 240,000 metric tons by 2026. We also continue to expand lithium hydroxide capacity to reach 100,000 metric tons by the end of 2025. During the year, we carried out a corporate reorganization, resulting in three main divisions: SQM Lithium Chile Division (lithium and potassium products from the Salar de Atacama), SQM Lithium International Division (lithium products from outside Chile), and SQM Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division (iodine and specialty plant nutrition products worldwide), with the objective of focusing, developing and strengthening each business area in order to maintain our leadership strategy in the key industries in which we operate.
Finally, in November, we held our first auction of spodumene concentrate through our SQM Lithium International Division.
Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

(in millions of US$) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Capital expenditures |  | 1,388.3 |  |  | 1,103.6 |  |  | 905.2 |

During 2024, we had total capital expenditures of US$1,388.3 million. Our 2024 capital expenditure was primarily related to:
•Capacity expansion projects related to the completion of the increase of our lithium carbonate production in Chile from 210,000 metric tons per year to 240,000 metric tons per year by the end of 2026 or early 2027;
•Capacity expansion of lithium hydroxide production in Chile from 40,000 metric tons per year to 100,000 metric tons per year by 2025.
•Investment in the Mt. Holland lithium project in Western Australia with completion of the Kwinana refinery by mid-2025.
•Investments in different projects for the SQM Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division, including the investment in the seawater pipeline which is currently under construction and is projected to be ready by the end of 2026, and different initiatives to increase yields in the iodine facilities.
•Investment in international exploration projects; and
23

Table of Contents
•General maintenance of all production facilities, among others
During 2023, we had total capital expenditures of US$1,103.6 million. Our 2023 capital expenditure was primarily related to:
•Capacity expansion projects related to the completion of the increase of our lithium carbonate production in Chile from 180,000 metric tons per year to 210,000 metric tons per year by the end of 2024;
•Capacity expansion of lithium hydroxide production in Chile from 30,000 metric tons per year to 100,000 metric tons per year by 2025;
•Investment in the Mount Holland lithium project in Western Australia, completion of mine and concentrator capacity and construction of refinery to produce 50,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide in 2025.
•Investment in the development of new caliche projects in Pampa Blanca and Nueva Victoria to increase the iodine and nitrate production capacity; and
•General maintenance of all production facilities, among others.
During 2022, we had total capital expenditures of US$905.2 million. Our 2022 capital expenditure was primarily related to:
•Capacity expansion projects related to the completion of our increase of our lithium carbonate production in Chile from 120,000 metric tons per year to 180,000 metric tons per year by the end of 2022;
•Completion of capacity expansion of lithium hydroxide production in Chile from 21,500 metric tons per year to 30,000 metric tons per year;
•Investment in our new 50,000 metric ton Mt. Holland lithium hydroxide mine and refining plant in Western Australia;
•Acquisition of the 20,000 metric ton lithium hydroxide refining plant in China; and
•Investment in the development of new caliche projects to optimize the iodine and nitrate production plants and carry out general maintenance of all production facilities, among others.
We believe our capital expenditures for 2025, including maintenance could reach approximately US$1.1 billion, distributed as follows: approximately US$550 million for the SQM Lithium Chile Division for continued capacity expansions at the Lithium Chemical Plant and the Salar de Atacama facilities, sustainability initiatives and increased efficiencies. Approximately US$350 million for the SQM Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division, mainly to increase the iodine production to reach approximately four thousand metric tons in the next few years, and approximately US$200 million for the SQM Lithium International Division, which includes the completion of the construction of the lithium hydroxide refining plant in Kwinana, Australia, and exploration-related investments.
We expect our capital expenditure for the 2025-2027 period to be in the range of US$3.1 to US$3.8 billion, including maintenance. This investment plan is preliminary and subject to change depending on internal and external factors (please see Risk factors- Risks related to our business- "We have an investment plan that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties" )
4.B.Business Overview
The Company
We believe that we are the world’s largest producer of potassium nitrate and iodine and one of the world’s largest lithium producers. We also produce specialty plant nutrients, iodine derivatives, lithium derivatives, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and certain industrial chemicals (including industrial nitrates and solar salts). Our products are sold in over 100 countries through our worldwide distribution network, with 96% of our sales in 2024 derived from countries outside Chile.
Our products are mainly derived from mineral deposits found in northern Chile. We mine and process caliche ore and brine deposits. The caliche ore in northern Chile contains the only known nitrate and iodine deposits in the world and is the world’s largest commercially exploited source of natural nitrates. The brine deposits of the Salar de Atacama, a salt-encrusted depression in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, contain high concentrations of lithium and potassium as well as significant concentrations of sulfate and boron.
From our caliche ore deposits, we produce a wide range of nitrate-based products used for specialty plant nutrients and industrial applications, as well as iodine and iodine derivatives. At the Salar de Atacama, we extract brines rich in potassium, lithium, sulfate and boron in order to produce potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, lithium solutions and
24

Table of Contents
bischofite (magnesium chloride). We produce lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide at our plant near the city of Antofagasta, Chile, from the solutions brought from the Salar de Atacama. We market all of these products through an established worldwide distribution network.
Our products are divided into six categories: specialty plant nutrients; iodine and its derivatives; lithium and its derivatives; potassium chloride and potassium sulfate; industrial chemicals and other commodity fertilizers.
Specialty plant nutrients are premium fertilizers that enable farmers to improve yields and the quality of certain crops. Our main specialty fertilizer is potassium nitrate, which is used primarily via fertigation in high-value crops. Iodine and iodine derivatives are used in a wide range of medical, agricultural, and industrial applications as well as in human and animal nutrition products. They are mainly used in the X-ray contrast media, polarizing film and pharmaceuticals. Lithium and its derivatives are mainly used in batteries, greases and frits for production of ceramics. Potassium chloride is a commodity fertilizer that is produced and sold by us worldwide. Industrial chemicals have a wide range of applications in certain chemical processes such as the manufacturing of glass, explosives and ceramics. Industrial nitrates are also being used in concentrated solar power plants as a means for energy storage. Additionally, we trade other complementary fertilizers worldwide to diversify our offerings.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had revenues of US$4,528.8 million, gross profit of US$1,327.1 million and losses attributable to controlling interests of US$685.1 million. Our worldwide market capitalization as of December 31, 2024 was approximately US$10.2 billion.
Specialty Plant Nutrition: We offer three main types of specialty plant nutrients for fertigation, direct soil, and foliar applications: potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and specialty blends. We also sell other specialty fertilizers, including third-party products. These products, available in solid or liquid forms, are mainly used on high-value crops like fruit, flowers, and some vegetables. They are widely utilized in modern agricultural techniques such as hydroponics, greenhouses, and fertigation (where fertilizer is dissolved in water before irrigation).
Specialty plant nutrients offer advantages over commodity fertilizers, such as quick absorption, excellent water solubility, and low chloride content. Potassium nitrate, a key product, comes in crystalline and prill forms for various applications. Crystalline potassium nitrate suits fertigation and foliar use, while prills are ideal for direct soil application.
We market our products under the following brands: Ultrasol® (fertigation), Qrop® (soil application), Speedfol® (foliar application), and Allganic® (organic agriculture).
Sophisticated customers now seek integrated solutions rather than single products. Our offerings include customized blends and agronomic services, enhancing plant nutrition for better yields and quality. Derived from natural nitrate compounds or potassium brines, our products feature beneficial trace elements, offering advantages over synthetic fertilizers. Consequently, specialty nutrients command a premium price compared to standard fertilizers.
Iodine and its Derivatives: We believe that we are the world’s leading producer of iodine and iodine derivatives, which are used in a wide range of medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications, including X-ray contrast media, polarizing films for LCD and LED, antiseptics, biocides and disinfectants, in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, electronics, pigments and dye components.

Table of Contents
During 2024, we also expanded into early exploration projects in Sweden (subject to conditions precedent), and Namibia, with similar activities as the ones being carried out in Australia.
In Chile, we are actively conducting exploration for metallic minerals in the mining properties we own. If such minerals are found, we may decide to exploit, sell or enter into an association to extract these resources. Our exploration efforts are currently focused on the layer of bedrock that lies beneath the caliche ore that we use as the primary raw material in the production of iodine and nitrates. This bedrock has significant potential for metallic mineralization, particularly copper, gold and silver. A significant portion of our mining properties are located in the Antofagasta region of Chile, where many large copper producers operate.
We have an in-house geological exploration team that explores the area directly, identifying drilling targets and assessing new prospects. In 2021, the team has confirmed the existence of high-grade copper and gold mineralization at the Bufalo project, located 120 kilometers east of the city of Antofagasta. The Bufalo project corresponds to a district that hosts several mineralized bodies of copper, copper-gold and copper-gold-silver in which SQM has already drilled nearly 170,000 meters, using our own diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling machines. More than 45 projects with copper potential have also been generated, in greenfield and intermediate exploration stages, which are under study and drilling. We also have a metal business development team that works to engage partners interested in investing in metal exploration within our mining properties. As of December 2024, we have an option agreement in place with a private equity-owned mining company. We participated in the formation of a joint venture as a result of the exercise of an option agreement with a major mining company in the precious metals market.

Specialty Plant Nutrition: Market
Specialty plant nutrients serve various agricultural purposes, including fertigation for high-value crops like vegetables and fruits. These fertilizers must be highly soluble and free of impurities for modern irrigation methods such as drip and micro-sprinkler systems. Potassium nitrate stands out among these nutrients due to its chlorine-free composition, high solubility, proper pH, and lack of impurities, allowing it to command a premium price over alternatives like potassium chloride and sulfate.
Modern irrigation systems are widely used in protected crops and high-value fruit plantations like greenhouses, tunnels (for berries), and shade houses (for tomatoes). Specialty nutrients are also applied for foliar and granular soil applications in niches such as potato and tobacco production.

Table of Contents
Specialty plant nutrients have distinct characteristics that can increase productivity and improve quality when applied to specific crops and soils. These products offer certain benefits over commodity fertilizers derived from other sources of nitrogen and potassium, such as urea and potassium chloride.
Since 1990, the international market for specialty plant nutrients has expanded at a quicker pace than the market for commodity fertilizers. Contributing factors include: (i) the adoption of new agricultural technologies like fertigation, hydroponics, and greenhouses; (ii) rising land costs and water scarcity, which have prompted farmers to enhance yields and reduce water consumption; and (iii) growing demand for higher-quality crops.
However, during 2022 and 2023, the market for agricultural soluble potassium nitrate saw a reduction in consumption by approximately 12% and 8%, respectively, due to significant price increases, adverse climate conditions, and high inflation rates. These estimates exclude locally produced and sold potassium nitrate in China and only account for net imports and exports.
Notwithstanding two consecutive years of decline, we estimate that the Specialty Plant Nutrition market experienced a favorable recovery during 2024. Excluding production and consumption within China, we estimate that the market grew by around 17%, reaching levels slightly below those observed in 2020.
Specialty Plant Nutrition: Our Products
We produce three main types of specialty plant nutrients that provide nutritional solutions for fertigation, direct soil applications and foliar fertilizers: potassium nitrate (KNO3), sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and specialty blends. We also sell other specialty fertilizers, including products produced by third parties. All of these products are used in solid or liquid form primarily on high-value crops such as fruits, flowers and some vegetables. These fertilizers are widely used in crops using modern agricultural techniques such as hydroponics, greenhouses and crops with foliar application and fertigation (in the latter case, the fertilizer is dissolved in water prior to irrigation).
Specialty plant nutrients have certain advantages over commercial fertilizers, such as fast and effective absorption (without requiring nitrification), superior water solubility, and low chloride content. One of the most important products in this business line is potassium nitrate, which is marketed in crystalline or prilled form, allowing for different application methods. Crystalline potassium nitrate products are ideal for fertigation and foliar applications, and potassium nitrate beads are suitable for direct soil applications.
Special blends are produced using our own special plant nutrients and other components in blending plants operated by us or our affiliates and related companies around the world.
We have developed brands for commercialization of our Specialty Plant Nutrition products according to the different applications and uses of our products. Our main brands are: Ultrasol® (fertigation), Qrop® (soil application), Speedfol® (foliar application) and Allganic® (organic agriculture).
The advantages of our special Ultrasol® vegetable blends include the following:
•Fully water soluble for efficient use in hydroponics, fertigation, foliar applications, and advanced agricultural techniques, reducing water usage.
•Chloride-free to prevent toxicity in chlorine-sensitive crops.
•Provides nitrogen in nitric form for faster nutrient absorption compared to urea- or ammonium-based fertilizers.
In 2024, we continued to grow sales of differentiated fertilizers such as Ultrasoline® for improved root growth and optimal nitrogen metabolism, ProP® for more efficient phosphorus absorption, and Prohydric® for more efficient fertilization and water use.
Specialty Plant Nutrition: Marketing and Customers
In 2024, we sold our specialty plant nutrients in approximately 100 countries and to more than 1,500 customers. No single customer individually accounted for at least 10% of sales in this segment during 2024. The 10 largest customers collectively accounted for approximately 25% of sales during that period.

Specialty Plant Nutrition: Competition
The primary factors influencing competition in the sale of specialty nutrients include product quality, logistics, agronomic service expertise, and pricing.
We consider ourselves the world's largest producer of potassium nitrate for agricultural purposes. Our potassium nitrate faces indirect competition from both specialty and commodity substitutes, which some customers may opt for depending on the soil type and crops involved.
In 2024, our sales represented approximately 41% of the global agricultural potassium nitrate market by volume. In the 100% soluble potassium nitrate segment, our main competitor is Haifa Chemicals Ltd. ("Haifa") of Israel. We estimate that Haifa's sales accounted for around 22% of global agricultural potassium nitrate sales in 2024 (excluding sales by Chinese producers within the domestic Chinese market).
Kemapco, a Jordanian producer owned by Arab Potash, operates a production facility near the Port of Aqaba, Jordan. We estimate that Kemapco's sales comprised roughly 13% of global agricultural potassium nitrate sales in 2024.
ACF, another Chilean producer primarily focused on iodine production, has produced potassium nitrate from caliche ore since 2005. Additionally, several potassium nitrate manufacturers operate in China, with most of their production consumed domestically within China.
Iodine and its Derivatives
We believe that we are the world’s largest producer of iodine. In 2024, our revenues from iodine and iodine derivatives amounted to US$968.3 million, representing 21.4% of our total revenues in that year and an increase from US$892.2 million in 2023. This increase was mainly attributable to higher sales volumes than in 2023. Average iodine prices were approximately 2.3% lower in 2024 than in 2023. Our sales volumes increased approximately 11.1% in 2024. We estimate that our sales accounted for approximately 37% of global iodine sales by volume in 2024.

Iodine: Market
Iodine and iodine derivatives are used in a wide range of medical, agricultural and industrial applications as well as in human and animal nutrition products. Iodine and iodine derivatives are used as raw materials or catalysts in the formulation of products such as X-ray contrast media, biocides, antiseptics and disinfectants, pharmaceutical intermediates, polarizing films for LCD and LED screens, chemicals, organic compounds and pigments. Iodine is also added in the form of potassium iodate or potassium iodide to edible salt to prevent iodine deficiency disorders.
During 2024, X-ray contrast media was the leading application of iodine, accounting for approximately 37% of demand. Iodine’s high atomic number and density make it ideally suited for this application, as its presence in the body can help to increase contrast between tissues, organs, and blood vessels with similar X-ray densities. Other applications include pharmaceuticals, which we believe account for 13% of demand; LCD and LED screens, 13%; iodophors and povidone-iodine, 6%; animal nutrition, 7%; fluoride derivatives, 6%; biocides, 5%; nylon, 3%; human nutrition, 3% and other applications, 7%.
In 2024, our estimates indicate that the market experienced an upturn of approximately 7% compared to the previous year. This expansion can primarily be attributed to a series of key factors impacting various industries. First, the broader global economic recovery has led to a better-than-expected GDP in 2024, with industrial production boosting company investments, especially in India and China. Additionally, demand for contrast media has accelerated due to significant expansions and strong performance among major players in this industry, where government expenditures in healthcare and new technologies have played a key role. Finally, while high prices have slowed demand in certain sectors, such as iodophors and biocides, the decline in these applications was smaller than the growth seen in other industries, leading to a strong iodine demand.
The demand for X-ray contrast media emerged as a primary driver of growth in the iodine market. This increase is largely due to heightened healthcare expenditures, increased prevalence of chronic diseases necessitating diagnostic imaging, rising volume of CT procedures, advancements in imaging technology and demographic shift towards an aging population. The growing use of diagnostic imaging, particularly in China, Europe and the US, has significantly bolstered the demand for iodine-based contrast agents, counterbalancing some of the declines seen in other sectors.
Iodine: Our Products
We produce iodine in our Nueva Victoria plant, near Iquique, Chile, our Pedro de Valdivia plant and at the Pampa Blanca mining site, both located close to María Elena, Chile. We have a total production capacity of approximately 14,300 metric tons per year of iodine.
Through Ajay “ASG”), we produce organic and inorganic iodine derivatives. ASG was established in the mid-1990s and has production plants in the United States, Chile and France. ASG is one of the world’s leading inorganic and organic iodine derivatives producer.
Consistent with our iodine business strategy, we are constantly working on the development of new applications for our iodine-based products, pursuing a continuing expansion of our businesses and maintaining our market leadership.

We sell iodine through our own worldwide network of representative offices and through our sales, support and distribution affiliates. We maintain inventories of iodine at our facilities throughout the world to facilitate prompt delivery to customers. Iodine sales are made pursuant to spot purchase orders or within the framework of supply agreements. Supply agreements generally specify annual minimum and maximum purchase commitments, and prices are adjusted periodically, according to prevailing market prices.
Iodine: Competition
The world’s main iodine producers are based in Chile, Japan and the United States. Iodine is also produced in Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Indonesia and China.
Iodine is produced in Chile from a unique mineral known as caliche ore, whereas in Japan, the United States, Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Indonesia, producers extract iodine from underground brines that are mainly obtained together with the extraction of natural gas and petroleum. The recycled iodine waste production comes mainly from China and Japan.
Five Chilean companies accounted for approximately 60% of total global sales of iodine in 2024, including SQM, with approximately 37%, and four other producers accounting for the remaining 23%. The other Chilean producers are S.C.M. Cosayach (Cosayach), controlled by the Chilean holding company Inverraz S.A.; ACF Minera S.A., owned by the Chilean Urruticoechea family; Algorta Norte S.A., a joint venture between ACF Minera S.A. and Toyota Tsusho; and Atacama Minerals, which is owned by Chinese company Tewoo.
We estimate that eight Japanese iodine producers accounted for approximately 23% of global iodine sales in 2024, including recycled iodine.
We estimate that iodine producers in the United States accounted for nearly 5% of world iodine sales in 2024.
Iodine recycling is a growing trend worldwide. Several producers have recycling facilities where they recover iodine and iodine derivatives from iodine waste streams.
We estimate the 16% of the iodine supply comes from iodine recycling. Through ASG or alone, we are also actively participating in the iodine recycling business using iodinated side-streams from a variety of chemical processes in Europe and the United States.
The prices of iodine and iodine derivative products are determined by market conditions. World iodine prices vary depending upon, among other things, the relationship between supply and demand at any given time. Iodine supply varies primarily as a result of the production levels of the iodine producers (including us) and their respective business strategies.
In 2024, our annual average iodine sales prices decreased slightly compared to 2023, reaching approximately US$67 per kilogram in 2024, from the average sales prices of approximately US$68 per kilogram observed in 2023.

Table of Contents
Demand for iodine varies depending upon overall levels of economic activity and the level of demand in the medical, pharmaceutical, industrial and other sectors that are the main users of iodine and iodine-derivative products. Certain substitutes for iodine are available for certain applications, such as antiseptics and disinfectants, which could represent a cost-effective alternative to iodine depending on prevailing prices.
The main factors of competition in the sale of iodine and iodine derivative products are reliability, price, quality, customer service and the price and availability of substitutes. We believe we have competitive advantages compared to other producers due to the size and quality of our mining reserves and the available production capacity. We believe our iodine is competitive with that produced by other manufacturers in certain advanced industrial processes. We also believe we benefit competitively from the long-term relationships we have established with our largest customers.
Lithium and its Derivatives
In 2023, our revenues from lithium sales amounted to US$2,241.3 million, representing 49.5% of our total revenues and a 56.7% decrease from US$5,180.1 million in 2023, due to significantly lower average prices partially offset by higher sales volumes during the year. The average price for 2024 was approximately 64.1% lower than the average price in 2023. Our sales volumes increased approximately 20.5% in 2024.
We believe we are one of the world’s largest producers of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, and we estimate that our sales volumes accounted for approximately 17% of the global lithium chemicals sales volumes.
The following table shows our total sales volumes and revenues from lithium carbonate and its derivatives for 2024, 2023 and 2022:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Sales volumes (Th. MT) |  |  |  |  |
Lithium and derivatives | 204.9 |  | 170.0 |  | 156.8
Total revenues (in US$millions) | 2,241.3 |  |  | 5,180.1 |  |  | 8,152.9 |

Lithium: Market
The lithium market can be divided into (i) lithium minerals for direct use (a market in which SQM does not participate directly), (ii) basic lithium chemicals, which include lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide (as well as lithium chloride, from which lithium carbonate may be made), and (iii) inorganic and organic lithium derivatives, which include numerous compounds produced from basic lithium chemicals, a market in which SQM does not participate directly.
Lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are used for the production of cathode material for secondary (rechargeable) batteries, due to the high electrochemical potential and low density of lithium. Batteries represent the main application for lithium, with approximately 90% of total demand, including batteries for electric vehicles, which represented approximately 70% of total demand in 2024.
There are many other applications both for basic lithium chemicals and lithium derivatives, such as lubricating greases heat-resistant glass (ceramic glass), chips for the ceramics and glaze industry, chemicals for air conditioning, as well as other pharmaceutical synthesis and metal alloys.
Lithium’s main properties, which facilitate its use in this range of applications, are that it:
•is the lightest solid metal and element at room temperature;
•is low density;
•has a low coefficient of thermal expansion;
•has high electrochemical potential; and
•has a high specific heat capacity.
We estimate that during 2024, demand for lithium chemicals increased by approximately 25%, exceeding 1.2 million metric tons. We expect applications related to energy storage to continue driving demand in the coming years.

We produce lithium carbonate at our Lithium Chemical Plant, near Antofagasta, Chile, from highly concentrated lithium chloride produced in the Salar de Atacama. The annual production capacity of our lithium carbonate plant at our Lithium Chemical Plant is approximately 210,000 metric tons per year. We believe that the technologies we use, together with the high concentrations of lithium and the characteristics of the Salar de Atacama, such as high evaporation rate and concentration of other minerals, allow us to be one of the lowest cost producers of lithium worldwide.
We also, produce lithium hydroxide at our Lithium Chemical Plant, which has a production capacity of 40,000 metric tons per year and we are in the process of increasing this capacity to 100,000 metric tons per year by the end of 2025. In addition, we produce lithium hydroxide from lithium sulfate at our lithium hydroxide refining plant in China. This facility has a design capacity of 20,000 metric tons per year. We have additional capacity, through toll manufacturing plants, to produce 20,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate from lithium sulfate per year. We are also developing the Mt. Holland lithium project in Australia through our joint venture with Wesfarmers. The concentrator plant is ramping up production to nameplate capacity, while the Kwinana lithium hydroxide refinery continues to advance in construction, with 95% completion by and a planned production capacity of 50,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide (50% SQM's share).
Lithium: Marketing and Customers
In 2024, we sold our lithium products in 43 countries to approximately 218 customers, and most of our sales were to customers outside of Chile. During 2024, 93% of our sales of lithium were in Asia. Two customers accounted for at least 10% of lithium and lithium derivatives sales, representing approximately 28% of our lithium revenues in 2024. Our ten largest customers together accounted for approximately 60% of revenues. One supplier, Corfo, accounted for approximately 24% of this business line's cost of sales, mainly related to lease payments payable to Corfo under the SQM-Corfo Agreements for lithium products produced in the Salar de Atacama. We make lease payments to Corfo which are associated with the sale of different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride. See Note 22.2 to our consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of lease payments made to Corfo for all periods presented.
The following table shows the geographical breakdown of our revenues:

We sell lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) through our own worldwide network of representative offices and through our sales, support and distribution affiliates. We maintain stocks of these products at our facilities around the world to facilitate prompt delivery to customers. Sales of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are made on the basis of spot purchase orders or under supply contracts. The contracts generally specify minimum and maximum annual purchase commitments, and prices are adjusted periodically, according to the variation of price indexes established in the market.
Lithium: Competition
Lithium is produced mainly from two sources: (i) concentrated brines and (ii) minerals. During 2024, the main lithium brines producers were Chile, Argentina and China, while the main lithium mineral producers were Australia and China. Other relevant regions for lithium production were Brazil and Zimbabwe. With total sales of approximately 204.9 thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate and hydroxide, we believe our market share of lithium chemicals was approximately 17% in 2024. The main competitors in the lithium market with their estimated market share are: Albemarle (14%), Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co (6%), Tianqi Lithium Corp. (6%) and Arcadium Lithium (4%).
Tianqi is also a significant shareholder of SQM, holding approximately 22.16% of SQM's shares as of March 31, 2025.
We believe that lithium production will continue to increase this decade, in response to an increase in demand growth.

Potassium: Market
During the last decade, demand for potassium chloride and fertilizers in general has increased due to several factors, such as a growing world population, higher demand for protein-based diets, and less arable land. These factors contribute to fertilizer demand growth as a result of efforts to maximize crop yields and continue to use resources more efficiently. We estimate that global demand in 2024 reached approximately 72 million metric tons, an increase from approximately 68 million tons during 2023, primarily due to lower prices and increased availability of potassium supply from Belarus and Russia.
Studies by the International Fertilizer Association indicate that cereals account for approximately 39% of global potassium demand, including maize (17%), rice (12%), and wheat (8%). Oil crops represent 25% of global consumption, with soybeans at 13% and oil palm at 9%. Other uses make up about 36%.
Potassium: Our Product
We produce potassium chloride (KCl) by extracting brines from the Salar de Atacama, which are rich in potassium and other salts. Potassium chloride is the most used and cost-effective potassium-based fertilizer for various crops. We offer potassium chloride in two grades: standard and compacted.
Potassium is one of the three essential macronutrients required for plant development. It is suitable for fertilizing crops that can tolerate relatively high levels of chloride and those grown under conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation to prevent chloride accumulation in the rooting systems.
The benefits of using potassium include:
•Increased yield and quality
•Enhanced protein production
•Improved photosynthesis
•Intensified transport and storage of assimilates
•Better water efficiency
Potassium chloride is also utilized as a raw material to produce potassium nitrate and other specialty nutrient granulated blends (NPK). Since 2009, our effective end product capacity has increased to over 2 million metric tons per year, providing us with greater flexibility and market coverage.
Potassium: Marketing and Customers
In 2024, we sold potassium chloride and potassium sulfate to approximately 729 customers in 39 countries. No single customer individually accounted for at least 10% of this segment's sales in 2024. We estimate that the 10 largest customers together accounted for approximately 35% of sales during this period . No single supplier has a concentration of at least 10% of this business line's cost of sales. We make lease payments to Corfo which are associated with the sale of different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride. See

Industrial Chemicals
In 2024, our revenues from industrial chemicals were US$78.2 million, representing approximately 1.7% of our total revenues for that year and a 55.4% decrease from US$175.2 million in 2023, as a result of lower sales volumes in this business line, which offset higher sales prices. Sales volumes in 2024 decreased 70.9% compared to sales volumes reported last year, while average prices in the business line increased 53.1% during 2024 compared to average prices reported during 2023.

Industrial Chemicals: Market
Industrial sodium and potassium nitrates are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including the production of glass, ceramics and explosives, metal recycling, insulation materials, metal treatments, thermal solar and various chemical processes.
We are also experiencing a growing interest in using solar salts in thermal storage solutions related to CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology. Due to their proven performance, solar salts are being tested in industrial heat processes and heat waste solutions. These new applications may open new opportunities for solar salts uses in the near future, such as retrofitting coal plants.
Industrial Chemicals: Our Products
We produce and sell three industrial chemicals: sodium nitrate (NaNO3), potassium nitrate (KNO3) and potassium chloride (KCl). Sodium nitrate is used primarily in the production of glass, explosives, metal treatment, metal recycling and the production of insulation materials, adhesives, among other uses. Potassium nitrate is used in the manufacturing of specialty glass, and it is also an important raw material for the production of frits for the ceramics, enamel industries, metal treatment and pyrotechnics. Solar salts, a combination of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate, are used as a thermal storage medium in concentrated solar power plants. Potassium chloride is a basic chemical used to produce potassium hydroxide, and it is also used as an additive in oil drilling and in food processing, among other uses.
In addition to producing sodium and potassium nitrate for agricultural applications, we produce different grades of these products, including prilled grades, for industrial applications. The grades differ mainly in their chemical purity. We have
36

operational flexibility in producing industrial grade nitrates, because they are produced from the same process as their equivalent agricultural grades, needing only an additional step of purification. We may, with certain constraints, shift production from one grade to the other in response to market conditions. This flexibility allows us to maximize yields and to reduce commercial risk. In addition to producing industrial nitrates, we produce, market and sell industrial-grade potassium chloride.
Industrial Chemicals: Marketing and Customers
In 2024, we sold our industrial nitrate products in 53 countries, to approximately 274 customers. No single customer accounted for at least 10% of this segment's sales, and the 10 largest customers together accounted for approximately 27% of this segment's revenues. No supplier accounts for more than 10% of this business line's cost of sales. We make lease payments to Corfo which are associated with the sale of different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride.

Our industrial chemical products are marketed mainly through our own network of offices, logistic platforms, representatives and distributors. We maintain updated inventories of our stocks of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, classified according to graduation, to facilitate prompt dispatch from our warehouses. We provide support to our customers and continuously work with them to improve our service and quality, together with developing new products and applications for our products.
Industrial Chemicals: Competition
We believe that we are one of the world’s largest producers of industrial sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate. In 2024, our estimated market share by volume for industrial potassium nitrate was 32% and for industrial sodium nitrate was 29% (excluding domestic demand in China and India).
Our competitors in sodium nitrate are mainly based in Europe and Asia, producing sodium nitrate as a by-product of other production processes. In sodium nitrate, BASF AG, a German corporation, and several producers in Eastern Europe and China are competitive since they produce industrial sodium nitrate as a by-product. Our industrial sodium nitrate grades also compete indirectly with substitute chemicals, including sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which may be used in certain applications in place of sodium nitrate and are available from a large number of producers worldwide.
Our main competitors in the industrial potassium nitrate business are Haifa Chemicals, Kemapco and some Chinese producers, which we estimate had a market share of 18%, 9% and 15%, respectively, in 2024.
Producers of industrial sodium nitrate and industrial potassium nitrate compete in the marketplace based on attributes such as product quality, delivery reliability, price, and customer service. Our operation offers both products at high quality and with low cost.
In the industrial potassium chloride market, we are a relatively small producer, mainly focused on supplying regional needs.
Other Products
SQM generates revenue from the sale of third-party fertilizers (both specialty and commodity). These fertilizers are traded globally in substantial volumes and are used either as raw materials for specialty mixes or to enhance our product portfolio.

Table of Contents
We have established capabilities in commercial management, supply, flexibility, and inventory management, enabling us to respond to the evolving fertilizer market and secure profits from these transactions.
Production Process
Our integrated production process can be classified according to our natural resources:
•caliche ore deposits, which contain nitrates, iodine and potassium;
•brines from the Salar de Atacama, which contain potassium, lithium, sulfate, boron and magnesium; and
•spodumene deposits from the Mt. Holland project in Western Australia, which contain lithium.
Caliche Ore Deposits
Caliche ore deposits are located in the First and Second Regions in northern Chile. During 2024, our mining operations were concentrated in the First Region where we mainly worked in the mining sectors Tente en el Aire, Mina Oeste, Hermosa, Mina Sur and Torcaza, and in the Second Region at the Pampa Blanca site. Operations at the El Toco mine (which is part of the Maria Elena site) and the Pedro de Valdivia site were suspended in November 2013 and November 2015, respectively, in an effort to optimize our production facilities with lower production costs.
Caliche ore is found under a layer of barren overburden in seams with variable thickness from one to four meters, and with the overburden varying in thickness between zero and two meters.
Before proper mining begins, the exploration stage is carried out, including complete geological reconnaissance, sampling and drilling caliche ore to determine the quality and characteristics of each deposit. Treatability tests are performed at a pilot plant. Drill-hole samples are properly identified and tested at our chemical laboratories. With the exploration information on a closed grid pattern of drill holes, the ore evaluation stage provides information for mine planning purposes. Mine planning is done on a long-term basis (ten years), medium-term basis (three to five years) and short-term basis (one year). Once all of this information has been compiled, detailed planning for the exploitation of the mine takes place.
The mining process generally begins with bulldozers first removing the overburden in the mining area. This process is followed by an inspection and review of the drill holes before production drilling and blasting occurs to break the caliche seams. The ore is loaded onto off-road trucks, which take it to the leaching heaps to be processed.
During 2024, SQM used four continuous mining equipment systems to replace the drilling and blasting process for mining some of the caliche ore and obtaining a smaller ore size (under 6 ½ inches) that allows a better metallurgical recovery.
The run of mine ore is loaded in heaps and leached with water to produce concentrated solutions containing iodine, nitrate and potassium. These solutions are treated at our iodide plants where iodine is extracted through both solvent-extraction and blow out processes. The remaining solutions, which are rich in nitrates and potassium, are subsequently sent to solar evaporation ponds where the solutions are evaporated and after iodide is obtained, nitrate and potassium salts are produced. These concentrated salts are then sent to Coya Sur where they are used to produce potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate.
Caliche Ore-Derived Products
Caliche ore-derived products are sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium potassium nitrate and iodine.
Sodium Nitrate
During 2024, sodium nitrate for both agricultural and industrial applications was produced from nitrate salts from our mining operations at Sur Viejo and fed to our new crystallization plant located in Coya Sur. Crystallized sodium nitrate is processed at the Coya Sur production plants to produce sodium nitrate and sodium potassium nitrate in different chemical and physical forms, including crystallized and prilled products. Finally, the products are transported by truck to our port facilities in Tocopilla for shipping to customers and distributors worldwide.
38

Table of Contents
Potassium Nitrate
Potassium nitrate is produced at our Coya Sur facility using a production process developed in-house. Potassium salts produced at Nueva Victoria or Coya Sur and potassium salts from the Salar de Atacama are added to our conversion plants. A chemical reaction begins, transforming sodium nitrate into potassium nitrate and creating formed sodium chloride as a by-product. Depending on the specifications of the required product, it is subjected to an adiabatic or atmospheric cooling process to obtain the required quality.
Our current potassium nitrate production capacity at Coya Sur is approximately 900,000 metric tons per year.
The potassium nitrate produced at Coya Sur is transported to Tocopilla for shipping and delivery to customers and distributors. All potassium nitrate produced in crystallized or prilled form at Coya Sur has been certified by TÜV-Rheinland under the quality standard ISO 9001:2015. Additionally, the Coya Sur and Nueva Victoria leaching sites achieved certification by TÜV-Rheinland in 2023 under the ISO 50001:2015 quality standard (certification of energy management systems), and in Coya Sur, we are advancing in the phase two of the external audit to certify our potassium nitrate, sodium nitrates and soluble fertilizers production.
Iodine and Iodine Derivatives
During 2024, we produced iodine at our facilities at Nueva Victoria, Pedro de Valdivia and Pampa Blanca (iodide solutions). Iodine is extracted from solutions produced by leaching caliche ore.
As in the case of nitrates, the process of extracting iodine from the caliche ore is well established, but variations in the iodine and other chemical contents of the treated ore and other operating parameters require a high level of know-how to manage the process effectively and efficiently.
The solutions resulting from the leaching of caliche ore carry iodine in iodate form. Part of the iodate solution is reduced to iodide using sulfur dioxide, which is produced by burning sulfur. The resulting iodide is combined with the rest of the untreated iodate solution to release elemental iodine in low concentrations. The iodine is then extracted from the aqueous solutions and concentrated in iodide form using a solvent extraction and stripping plant in the Pedro de Valdivia and Nueva Victoria facilities and using a blow out plant in the Iris facility. The concentrated iodide is oxidized to metallic iodine, which is then refined through a smelting process and prilled. We have obtained patents in the United States and Chile (Chilean patent number 47,080) for our iodine prilling process.
Prilled iodine is tested for quality control purposes, using international standard procedures. It is then packed in 20 to 50-kilogram drums or 350-to-700-kilogram maxi bags and transported by truck to Antofagasta, Mejillones, or Iquique for export. Our iodine and iodine derivatives production facilities have been certified by TÜV-Rheinland under the ISO 9001:2015 program, providing third-party certification of our quality management system. The last recertification process was approved in November 2022, valid through March 2026.
Our total iodine production in 2024 was 13,101 metric tons predominately from our Nueva Victoria facility. We have the flexibility to adjust our production according to market conditions.
Tente en el Aire iodine plant (module 4), has a capacity of 6,000 metric tons of iodide per year and will allow us to process an additional of 1,300 m 3/h of iodate solutions. The construction was completed by the end of 2024. This additional volume will requiere additional water consumption, which will be provided by the new seawater pipeline. Currently, our biggest constraint to increasing iodine production is lack of water supply. With this additional capacity of iodide production, our total current effective production capacity at our iodine plants is approximately 16,000 metric tons per year (including our capacity at the Nueva Victoria and Pedro de Valdivia iodine plants).
Additionally, the seawater pipeline with a capacity of 900 liters per second is under construction and is expected to enter into operation by the end of 2026.
We use a portion of the iodine we produce to manufacture inorganic iodine derivatives, which are intermediate products used for manufacturing agricultural and nutritional applications, at facilities located near Santiago, Chile. We also produce inorganic and organic iodine derivative products together with Ajay, which purchases iodine from us. In the past, we have primarily sold our iodine derivative products in South America, Africa and Asia, while Ajay and its affiliates have primarily sold their iodine derivative products in North America and Europe.

Salar de Atacama Brine Deposits
The Salar de Atacama, located approximately 210 kilometers east of Antofagasta, is a salt-encrusted depression in the Atacama Desert, within which lies an underground deposit of brines contained in porous sodium chloride rock fed by an underground inflow from the Andes mountains, which is the result of millions of years of climatic and tectonic impacts. Brines are pumped from depths of 15 to 150 meters below the surface, through a field of wells that are located in the Salar de Atacama, distributed in areas authorized for exploitation, and which contain relatively high concentrations of potassium, lithium, sulfates and other minerals.
The brines are estimated to cover a surface of approximately 2,800 square kilometers and contain commercially exploitable deposits of potassium, lithium, sulfates and boron. Concentrations vary at different locations throughout the Salar de Atacama. Our mining exploitation rights to the Salar de Atacama are pursuant to the SQM-Corfo Agreements, which expire in 2030. The SQM-Corfo Agreements, as amended in January 2018, establish a total production and sales limit of up to 349,553 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (1,860,671 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent), which is in addition to the approximately 64,816 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (345,015 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent) then remaining from the originally authorized amount. See “Item 10.C. Material Contracts – SQM-Corfo Agreements.”
For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues related to products originating from the Salar de Atacama represented 55% of our consolidated revenues, consisting of revenues from our potassium business line and our lithium and derivatives business line for the period. All of our products originating from the Salar de Atacama are derived from our extraction operations under the SQM-Corfo Agreements. As of December 31, 2024, only six years remain on the term of the SQM-Corfo Agreements.
Under the Chilean National Lithium Strategy announced in April 2023, the Chilean government, through Codelco, intends to participate in the lithium-related activities in the Salar de Atacama. On December 27, 2023, SQM and Codelco signed a non-binding MOU, which, among other matters, established a framework for the terms and conditions of the definitive agreements for a new entity through which SQM’s subsidiary, SQM Salar, may continue to exploit mineral resources in the Salar de Atacama until 2060. Corfo has granted to Codelco’s subsidiary, Minera Tarar, the rights to exploit the Salar de Atacama from 2031 to 2060, which will be contributed to the joint venture. If the parties are unable to agree on definitive agreements for the proposed new entity, either the Chilean government or SQM could allow the SQM-Corfo Agreements to expire in 2030 in accordance with their terms. See “Risk Factors ― The new National Lithium Strategy announced by the Chilean government in April 2023 has created and may continue to create uncertainty in the Chilean lithium industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business performance or the value of our shares and ADRs.”
Products Derived from the Salar de Atacama Brines
The variety of products that may be derived from the Salar de Atacama brines includes solutions of lithium chloride, lithium sulfate, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium salts, potassium chloride, potassium salts, potassium sulfate, boric acid, sodium chloride and bischofite (magnesium chloride).
In order to produce these products, brines from the Salar de Atacama are pumped to solar evaporation ponds. Evaporation of the water contained in the brine in a sequential process of precipitation and evaporation, results in potassium-enriched salts and lithium-concentrated brines. In the first stages of the evaporation process, sodium chloride salts (halite) precipitate followed by potassium chloride salts together with sodium chloride (sylvinite), which are used to produce fertilizer products. The brine that remains in the evaporation pond system continues its concentration, producing additional products of interest, such as lithium sulfate salts and a concentrated lithium chloride solution, which are used to produce lithium sulfate concentrate and lithium carbonate, respectively.
Lithium Chloride Solution and Lithium Carbonate
The concentrated lithium chloride solution obtained during the evaporation process contains approximately 4-5% of lithium. The solution is then transported by truck to the Lithium Chemical Plant located near Antofagasta, approximately 190 kilometers southeast of the Salar de Atacama. At this plant, the solution is further purified and treated with sodium carbonate to produce lithium carbonate, which is dried and then, if necessary, compacted and finally packaged for shipment to customers.
The production capacity of our lithium carbonate facility at the end of 2024 was 210,000 metric tons per year.
40

Table of Contents
Future production will depend on the actual volumes and quality of the lithium solutions sent by the Salar de Atacama operations, as well as prevailing market conditions. Our future production will also be subject to the extraction limit described in the SQM-Corfo Agreements discussed above. See “—Salar de Atacama Brine Deposits” and “Item 8.A.7 Legal Proceedings.”
Our lithium carbonate production quality assurance program has been certified by TÜV-Rheinland under ISO 9001:2015 since September 2018.
Lithium Hydroxide (from Lithium Carbonate)
Lithium carbonate is sold to customers, and we also use it as a raw material for our lithium hydroxide production, which started operations at the end of 2005. We currently have three lithium hydroxide plants in Chile, one of which has two production lines and the second of which came into operation at the end of July 2024. Together, they have a total production capacity of 40,000 metric tons per year. These plants are located at the lithium production chemical plant, adjacent to our lithium carbonate operations.
In the production process, lithium carbonate is reacted with a lime solution to produce lithium hydroxide brine and calcium carbonate salt. The calcium carbonate salt is removed from the process by filtration and the lithium hydroxide brine is stored in ponds. The brine is then evaporated in a multi-effect evaporator and crystallized to produce lithium hydroxide which is then dried and packaged for shipment to customers.
Our lithium hydroxide production quality assurance program has been certified by TÜV-Rheinland under ISO 9001:2015 since September 2018.
Lithium Sulfate
During the brine concentration process and if the chemistries are favorable, it is possible to obtain lithium sulfate as additional raw material. This salt mainly precipitates in the potassium carnallite and bischofite stages.
After collection, the lithium sulfate is treated in the MOP H II plant through crushing, flotation and filtration processes, obtaining wet lithium sulfate as an intermediate product. In addition, salts with high potassium content are obtained as a by-product of the process, which are treated in the adjacent SOP-H plant, allowing additional potassium chloride to be obtained.
The wet lithium sulfate is then treated at the SOP S/C plant producing dry lithium sulfate as a finished product, which is currently sent to our refining plant and different tolling facilities in China to be converted into lithium hydroxide and/or lithium carbonate.
Lithium Hydroxide (from Lithium Sulfate)
Our lithium hydroxide operations in China began at the beginning of 2023, with a design annual capacity of 20,000 metric tons. The production of lithium hydroxide monohydrate from lithium sulfate begins with a purification stage of the raw material for its subsequent transformation to lithium carbonate, which is subsequently converted into high-purity lithium hydroxide through crystallization, drying, cooling and packaging stages. Impurities from the process are eliminated in a form of mixed salts, avoiding liquid waste in the plant. Sodium sulfate is generated as a by-product, which is dried and packaged for sale.
Additionally, we have tolling contracts with tolling facilities in China for the refining of lithium sulfate with an additional annual capacity of 20,000 metric tons allowing the production of lithium hydroxide and/or lithium carbonate.
Potassium Chloride
We use potassium chloride derived from the Salar de Atacama brines in the production of potassium nitrate. Production of our own supplies of potassium chloride provides us with substantial raw material cost savings. We also sell potassium chloride to third parties, primarily as a commodity fertilizer.
To produce potassium chloride, brines from the Salar de Atacama are sent to the first evaporation stage, where sodium chloride salts (halite) precipitate, are then harvested and removed. These salts have the potential to be used in the copper

Table of Contents
mining process. In the second stage of the evaporation process, the remaining brine from the first stage is transferred to other evaporation ponds where potassium chloride salts together with sodium chloride (sylvinite) precipitate. These salts are harvested and then sent for treatment at one of the wet potassium chloride plants where potassium chloride is separated by a grinding, flotation, and filtering process. In the final evaporation stage, salts containing magnesium are harvested and treated at one of the cold leach plants where magnesium is removed. Part of the potassium chloride is transported approximately 300 kilometers to our Coya Sur facilities via a dedicated truck transport system, where it is used in the production of potassium nitrate. The use of potassium chloride salts as a raw material in Coya Sur allows us to capture significant savings, as it allows us to use potassium salts with different qualities and to avoid buying and importing potassium chloride from external sources.
The remainder of the potassium chloride produced at the Salar de Atacama is shipped to our port in Tocopilla in either crystallized (standard) or granular (compacted) form and then shipped and sold as a commodity fertilizer to third parties. All of our potassium chloride-related plants in the Salar de Atacama currently have a nominal production capacity of up to 2.6 million metric tons per year. Actual production capacity depends on volume, quality and performance of the salts used in the process and quality of the brine resources pumped from the Salar de Atacama.
Mount Holland Spodumene Deposits
The Mount Holland project is an integrated lithium project in Western Australia consisting of (i) an open-pit mine on the Earl Grey hard rock lithium deposit and a spodumene concentrator comprised of Dense Media Separation ("DMS") and flotation circuits, 120 kilometers southeast of Southern Cross, and (ii) a lithium hydroxide (LiOH) refinery, located in the town of Kwinana, 26.5 kilometers from the Port of Fremantle, from which the battery-grade LiOH product will be shipped. The concentrator at the Mt. Holland site has a nominal production capacity of 383,000 dry metric tons per annum concentrate at a grade of 5.5 per cent lithium oxide matching the refinery feed requirements. The refinery in Kwinana has the capacity to produce 50,000 metric tons per annum of lithium hydroxide.
The project is an unincorporated joint venture in which SQM and Wesfarmers, through a wholly owned subsidiary, each holding 50% of the assets. The joint venture is managed by Covalent, an entity equally owned (50/50) by SQM and Wesfarmers.
The Mount Holland project focuses on the extraction and beneficiation of spodumene reserves in the Earl Grey pegmatite group. The deposit consists of a main body of thick tabular pegmatites, which become progressively narrower and branch to the south and east of the main pegmatite until the main body splits into several narrower dikes. Sporadically, isolated box rock enclaves are found within the pegmatite body.
The first ore from the pit was mined in 2022 and the concentrator started commissioning in the third quarter of 2023. First concentrate production from both circuits was achieved in the last quarter of 2023 and the first export of spodumene concentrate was in the first half of 2024. In December 2023, construction of the concentrator plant was completed and in December 2024, the refinery is under construction, with the objective of completion during 2025.
Products Derived from the Mount Holland Spodumene Deposits
Spodumene Concentrate
After traditional drill and blasting, load and haul operations of the spodumene ore obtained from the open pit is sent to Run of Mine (ROM) ore pad, from which a crushing circuit is fed. The crushing circuit reduces the granulometry of the material and generates a particle size suitable for processing at the smaller scale DMS circuit of the concentrator plant. This crushing circuit also has an intermediary crushed ore stockpile. The concentrator also has a larger integrated flotation circuit for treatment of the finer portion of ore.
Until full commissioning of the lithium hydroxide refinery at Kwinana, the concentrate will be trucked there for commissioning and production, and will continue to be trucked to a storage facility at Bunbury, approximately 500 kilometers west of the Mt. Holland mine. At Bunbury, the product is distributed to the SQM and Wesfarmers joint venture partners to follow their individual shipping and marketing plans.

Lithium Hydroxide
At the Kwinana refinery, the spodumene concentrate feed is calcined in a rotary kiln and afterwards treated with sulfuric acid. The sulfated calcine is transferred to the leaching and impurity removal area and leached with a process liquor. The slurry is then neutralized and filtered. The filtrate is pumped into the purification area where it is passed through a filter to remove fine entrained particles and later enters the solution causticization area where caustic soda (NaOH) is added to convert the lithium sulfate to lithium hydroxide (LiOH) plus sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4). Lithium hydroxide is then crystallized, dried and finally packaged for shipment and subsequent commercialization. The production capacity of the lithium hydroxide plant is designed to take the whole concentrate production from Mt. Holland and transform it into 50,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide per year upon completion of its construction.
Future production will depend on the actual volumes and quality of the spodumene concentrate shipped by the concentrator operation, the refinery plant performance and prevailing market conditions.
Raw Materials
The main raw material that we require in the production of nitrate and iodine is caliche ore, which is obtained from our surface mines. The main raw material in the production of potassium chloride, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium sulfate is the brine extracted from our operations at the Salar de Atacama.
Other important raw materials are sodium carbonate (used for lithium carbonate production), sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, kerosene, sulphur, anti-caking and anti-dust agents, calcium oxide, potassium carbonate, ammonium nitrate (used for the preparation of explosives in the mining operations), woven bags for packaging our final products, electricity acquired from electric utilities companies, and liquefied natural gas and fuel oil for heat generation. Our raw material costs (excluding caliche ore and salar brines and including energy) represented approximately 44% of our cost of sales in 2024.
Since 2017, we have been connected to the central grid, which supplies electricity to the majority of cities and industries in Chile. We have several electricity supply agreements signed with major producers in Chile, which are within the contract terms. Our electricity needs are primarily covered by Power Purchase Agreements that we entered into with Empresa Eléctrica Cochrane SpA (an AES affiliate) on December 31, 2012.
For our supply of liquefied natural gas, we maintain a five-year contract with Engie, which was executed in 2019 and some annual contracts to supply possible increases in demand. In addition, we have a supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Lipigas at our Lithium Chemical Plant and the Salar de Atacama.
We obtain ammonium nitrate, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, kerosene, sulphur, calcium oxide and soda ash from several large suppliers, mainly in Chile, the United States and Europe, under long-term contracts or general agreements, some of which contain provisions for annual revisions of prices, quantities and deliveries. Diesel fuel is obtained under contracts that provide fuel at international market prices.
At Mt. Holland, different reagents are added at various points in the concentrator. Ferrosilicon is added to facilitate the gravity separation in the DMS circuit, and collector, flocculants and coagulant reagents are utilized in the flotation circuit, among others. The reagents are stored at a weatherproof storage shed on site. In the refinery, sulfuric acid and caustic soda will be delivered via pipeline, and all other reagents by truck to a designated off-loading facility for storage within the refinery.
For main power supply at Mt. Holland, the substations on site were connected in January 2023 to Western Power’s 132kV grid power network (Bounty station). At the Kwinana refinery, the power is supplied from Western Power’s grid connection via the 132/22kV Kwinana Beach Power (KBP) switchyard which was commissioned in October 2023.
To support the heating in the pyrometallurgical system of the refinery, a gas pipeline between the existing ATCO natural gas network and the Kwinana refinery site boundary was connected and installed. Gas will be supplied by a local supplier. A diesel refueling facility is to be installed on site in 2024 with diesel fuel being trucked to site.
We believe that all of our contracts and agreements with third-party suppliers with respect to our main raw materials contain standard and customary commercial terms and conditions.

Water Supply
We hold water rights for the supply of surface and subterranean water near our production facilities. The main sources of water for our nitrate and iodine facilities at Pedro de Valdivia, María Elena and Coya Sur are the Loa and San Salvador rivers, which run near our production facilities. Water for our Nueva Victoria and Salar de Atacama facilities is obtained from wells near the production facilities. For our lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production processes at our Lithium Chemical Plant, in 2024 we recovered approximately 1,060,000 m 3 of ultrapure water from liquid plant waste, the rest of the water required for the process was purchased from third parties and we also purchased drinking water from local utility companies.
The main source of potable water for Mt. Holland mine is a water pipeline from Goldfields pipeline (Water Corporation) which is linked at approximately 2.5 kilometers north west of the Moorine Rock townsite, and transported through a 136 kilometers below ground water pipeline. Water on site is stored in tanks, and the pipeline water tanks supply reticulated water to raw/fire water tanks, and to a central potable water treatment system for personal consumption. There are additional potable water storage tanks at the campsite. Water for the refinery will be sourced from Kwinana Water Reclamation Plant (KWRP), however during outages (i.e. during KWRP plant maintenance) the system is designed with the flexibility of changing water source via an interchangeable spool and associated controls to be able to easily source potable water supply from Water Corporation.
Government Regulations
Regulations in Chile Generally
We are subject to the full range of government regulations and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile, including labor laws, social security laws, public health laws, consumer protection laws, tax laws, environmental laws, free competition laws, and securities laws. These include regulations to ensure sanitary and safety conditions in manufacturing plants.
We conduct our mining operations pursuant to judicial exploration concessions and exploitation concessions, as well as concession and exploitation lease agreements, granted pursuant to applicable Chilean law. Exploitation concessions grant a perpetual right (with the exception of the Salar de Atacama rights, which have been leased to us until 2030) to conduct mining operations in the areas covered by such concessions, provided that annual concession fees are paid. Exploration concessions permit us to explore for mineral resources on the land covered thereby for a specified period, and to subsequently request a corresponding exploitation concession.
Under Law No. 16,319 that created the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (Comisión Chilena de Energía Nuclear), or “CCHEN”, we have an obligation to the CCHEN regarding the exploitation and sale of lithium from the Salar de Atacama, which prohibits the use of lithium for nuclear fusion. In addition, CCHEN has imposed quotas that limit the total tonnage of lithium authorized to be sold, along with other conditions.
We also hold water use rights granted by the respective administrative authorities and which enable us to have a supply of water from rivers or wells near our production facilities sufficient to meet our current operating requirements. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Chile—Changes in water rights laws and other regulations could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”. The Water Code and related regulations are subject to change, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
We operate port facilities at Tocopilla, Chile for the shipment of products and the delivery of raw materials in conformity with maritime concessions, which have been granted by the respective administrative authorities. These concessions are normally renewable on application, provided that such facilities are used as authorized and annual concession fees are paid.
We are subject to tax regulations in Chile and in the other countries in which we operate. The Chilean government may again decide to levy additional taxes on mining companies or other corporations in Chile, and such taxes could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations. For example, in 2022 Law No. 21,420 was published (later modified by Law No. 21,649 of 2023) which considerably increased the amount payable for mining exploitation and exploration patents.
We are also subject to the Chilean Labor Code and the Subcontracting Law No 20,123, which are overseen by the Labor Authority (Dirección del Trabajo), the National Geology and Mining Service (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería) or
44

Table of Contents
“Sernageomin”, and the National Health Service. Recent changes to these laws and their application may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In April 2023, Law No. 21,561 was published, which established a reduction in the weekly working day from 45 to 40 hours. This reduction in working hours will imply increases in labor costs for both direct employees and subcontracted personnel. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We are exposed to labor strikes and labor liabilities that could impact our production levels and costs.”
In addition, we are subject to Law No. 20,393, which establishes criminal liability for legal entities. This law was modified by Law No. 21,595 published in August 2023, which introduced additional crimes for which companies and company executives are responsible in Chile, including crimes for environmental impacts.
We are subject to the Securities Market Law and Law No. 18,046 on Corporations (Ley de Sociedades Anónimas) or the “Chilean Corporations Act”, which regulates corporate governance of public companies. Specifically, the Chilean Corporations Act regulates, among other things, independent director requirements, disclosure obligations to the general public and to the CMF, as well as regulations relating to the use of inside information, the independence of external auditors, and procedures for the analysis of transactions with related parties. See “Item 6.C. Board Practices” and “Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions.”
Law No. 21,455, which was published in the Official Gazette on June 21, 2022, establishes a legal framework for facing the challenges derived from climate change and complying with the Chilean State’s international commitments regarding such issue. Law No. 21,455, amends the Chilean Corporations Act to require open stock corporations registered in the Securities Registry to periodically provide information to CMF in connection with the impact of their activities on the environment and climate change.
Law No. 21,521, which was published in the Official Gazette on January 4, 2023, seeks to promote competition and financial inclusion in financial services through innovation and technology. Law No. 21,521 regulates the following financial services: (i) crowdfunding platforms; (ii) alternative systems for the transaction of financial instruments or securities; (iii) credit advice; (iv) investment advice (v) custody of financial instruments; (vi) order routing, and (vii) intermediation of financial instruments. In addition, Law No. 21,521 amends the Chilean Corporations Act to increase by 2,000 (or the higher number determined by the CMF) the number of shareholders that a closed corporation must have to be required to register its shares in the Securities Registry and become an open stock corporation. Law No. 21,521 also amends the Securities Market Law to establish a simplified regime for debt securities, which will be detailed by the CMF.
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us except as discussed under “Item 8.A.7 Legal Proceedings”, in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements and below under “Safety, Health and Environmental Regulations in Chile.”
Safety, Health and Environmental Regulations in Chile
Our operations in Chile are subject to both national and local regulations related to safety, health and environmental protection. In Chile, the main regulations on these matters that are applicable to us are the Mine Health and Safety Act of 1989 (Reglamento de Seguridad Minera or the “Mine Health and Safety Act”), the Health Code (Código Sanitario), the Health and Basic Conditions Act of 1999 (Reglamento sobre Condiciones Sanitarias y Ambientales Básicas en los Lugares de Trabajo or the “Health and Basic Conditions Act”), the Subcontracting Law, the Environmental Law of 1994, amended in 2010 (Ley sobre Bases Generales del Medio Ambiente) and Law No.16,744 of the Labor Code relating to workplace accidents and occupational diseases (“Law No. 16,744”).
Health and safety at work are fundamental aspects in the management of mining operations, which is why we have made constant efforts to maintain good health and safety conditions for the people working at our mining sites and facilities. In addition to the role played by us in this important matter, the Chilean government has a regulatory role, enacting and enforcing regulations in order to protect and ensure the health and safety of workers. The Chilean government, acting through the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, Ministry of Health, and the Sernageomin, performs health and safety inspections at the mining sites and oversees mining projects, among other tasks, and it has exclusive powers to enforce standards related to environmental conditions and the health and safety of the people performing activities related to mining.
The regulations set in Law No. 16,744 and the Mine Health and Safety Act protect workers and nearby communities from health and safety hazards. The Health and Basic Conditions Act along with our Internal Mining Standards (Reglamentos
45

Table of Contents
Internos Mineros) establish guidelines to maintain a workplace where safety and health risks are managed appropriately. We are subject to the general provisions of the Health and Basic Conditions Act, our own internal standards and the provisions of the Mine Health and Safety Act. In the event of non-compliance, the Ministry of Health and relevant regulatory bodies are entitled to use their enforcement powers to ensure compliance with the law.
In November 2011, the Ministry of Mining enacted Law No. 20,551 that regulates the closure of mining sites and facilities (Ley que Regula el Cierre de Faenas e Instalaciones Mineras). This statute became effective in November 2012 and required all mining sites to present or update their closure plans as of November 2014. SQM has fulfilled this requirement for all of its mining sites and facilities. The main requirements of the law are related to the execution of measures to obtain the physical and chemical stability of the mining site and its facilities, as well as the protection of life, health, safety of people and the environment, along with the estimated cost to implement such plans. The mining site closure plans are approved by Sernageomin and the corresponding financial assurances are subject to approval by the CMF. In both cases, SQM has received the requisite approvals. During 2020, any required closure plans were updated and presented to Sernageomin in accordance with required deadlines. In 2021, approvals of the updates of the closure plan for Tocopilla and Pedro de Valdivia sites were renewed, while in 2022, approvals of the updates of the closure plans for the Salar de Atacama, Lithium Chemical Plant, Coya Sur, Nueva Victoria and Pampa Orcoma were received. Finally, during the year 2023, the update of the closure plans for the Pampa Blanca and María Elena sites was approved.
We continuously monitor the impact of our operations on the environment and on the health of our employees and other persons who may be affected by such operations. We have made modifications to our facilities in an effort to limit any adverse impacts. Also, over time, new environmental standards and regulations have been enacted, which have required minor adjustments or modifications of our operations. We anticipate that additional laws and regulations will be enacted over time with respect to environmental matters. There can be no assurance that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose new restrictions on our operations. We are committed to continuously improving our environmental performance through our Environmental Management System.
Since 2020, we have participated in voluntary ratings such as Ecovadis, international certifications such as Responsible Care from the Chilean Chemical Industry Association, Protect&Sustain from the International Fertilizer Association, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001, and the IRMA Standard Assessment Audit, to promote responsible mining.
During 2024, the Port of Tocopilla was re-certified by Responsible Care, achieving level 1 certification. Similarly, this year, the Nueva Victoria mine was re-certified, again achieving level 1.
In terms of port environmental management, the Port of Tocopilla improved its performance in Ecoports of the Port Environmental Review System (PERS), raising its compliance percentage from 90.57 % in 2022 to 92.98 % in August 2024. In July 2024, both Coya Sur and the Port of Tocopilla achieved 100% compliance with the Clean Production Agreement (APL) Seal.
In terms of certifications and management systems, in March 2024, the Coya Sur site obtained ISO 14001 certification. Subsequently, in October 2024, the Port of Tocopilla successfully passed the Phase 1 external certification audit for ISO 45001:2018, thus advancing to the next stage of the process. In November 2024, both ISO 45001:2018 certification and ISO 14001:2015 recertification for the Port of Tocopilla were successfully completed.
Finally, in January 2025, the external follow-up audit was conducted at Coya Sur, Mine & Leach, and the Iodine Plant obtained ISO 50001:2018 certification, becoming the first iodine plant in the world to achieve this recognition.
During 2024, we continued to make progress in the SQM Lithium Chile Division's strategy of certifications and evaluations, which is why we carried out follow-up audits for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001 certifications at the Salar de Atacama. At our Chemical Lithium Plant, we obtained certification in Chilean standard 3262 - Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Management System, which represents a progress and complements other evaluations and sustainability standards of the Company.
In line with our sustainability objectives, during 2024, we continued working on the integration of IRMA in our processes by advancing in some cross-cutting requirements in the Lithium Chemical Plant and during 2025 we have planned the follow-up audit in Salar de Atacama with the objective of verifying the level of achievement of IRMA 75.
As a result of our participation in the DJSI assessment during 2024, we began to assess ourselves voluntarily as the Lithium Chile Division in the mining category, achieving a score of 58 points. This score gives us a consistent view of the
46

challenges of the business to continue progressing, particularly in governance due to changes related to our division. We also completed the CDP water and climate assessment, in which we obtained a B and B- grade, respectively, and which is aligned with our sustainability plan. In addition, our decarbonization targets were validated by Science Based Targets after a robust review process. In addition, the Lithium Chile Division achieved a gold rating with Ecovadis for the first time, placing it in the 97th percentile of our industry.
Specific regulations for mining operations in Western Australia
Our Australian operations are subject to a broad range of laws and regulations imposed by local and federal governments and regulatory bodies as applicable to companies engaged in business in Australia. Tax regulations in Australia are governed by federal laws, such as income tax and goods and services tax, and are administered by the Australian Taxation Office. The Company is also subject to other Australian federal regulations, including native title, environmental protection and biodiversity conservation, emissions reporting, the Australian Corporations Act, work health and safety, and the Competition and Consumers Act.
There are also a number of state-specific laws and regulations for projects located in Western Australia, including occupational health and safety laws, taxes (such as payroll tax and transfer duty), mining and resources rights (which includes state mining royalties), land access and indigenous rights, and environmental laws administered by different government departments.
For SQM’s Australian projects, specific laws and regulations apply both from Australian federal government as well as the state and local governments of Western Australia.
Environmental laws
Environmental laws governing the mining sector in Australia are extensive. In Australia, the government owns the land and rights to extract minerals from the land and allows parties to apply for tenure to explore or mine the land. SQM (directly or through joint ventures) has obtained the right to mining tenure from the WA government to conduct its exploration and mining operations in Australia. The Mining Act 1978 (WA) ("Mining Act of WA") and the associated Mining Regulations 1981 (WA) govern exploration and mining on land in Western Australia. Mining tenements under the Mining Act of WA include mining leases (which grant a right to conduct mining operations in the areas covered by such concessions, provided that annual concession fees are paid and expenditures are met), exploration licenses (that allow companies to explore for mineral resources on the land covered for a specified period, and to subsequently request a corresponding mining lease) and miscellaneous licenses and general purpose leases, (for ancillary mining activities such as above ground infrastructure and ground water extraction, among others). The grant of a mining tenement under the Mining Act of WA and the conditions imposed are at the discretion of the Minister for Mines and Petroleum. A right to explore usually carries the obligation of spending a specified amount of money on exploration activities.
SQM’s operations are subject to both state and federal environmental laws and regulations, which involve obtaining environmental approvals and licenses to carry out exploration and mining activities. The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (the "EPBC Act") is the Australian Government's central piece of environmental legislation. It provides a legal framework to protect and manage nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities, and heritage places. Under the EPBC Act new projects may require federal government approval if it has, will have or is likely to have a significant impact on ‘matters of national environmental significance’. The Australian Government’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water manages the referral and environmental impact assessment process under the EPBC Act.
On a state level, SQM mine developments are subject to the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (WA) ("EP Act"). Under the EP Act, SQM is obliged to prevent, control and abate pollution and environmental harm and ensure the conservation and protection (as applicable) of the land subject to SQM’s tenure. If a proposal is likely to have a significant impact on the environment it should be referred to the Western Australia Environmental Protection Authority to determine whether an environmental impact assessment is required under Part IV of the EP Act. The Western Australian Department of Water and Environmental Regulation administers Part V of the EP Act. All polluting facilities classified as prescribed facilities (e.g., process plant and tailings storage facility, landfill, wastewater treatment plant) are required to obtain works approvals to construct and perating icenses to operate the respective facility under Part V of the EP Act.

The Western Australia Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) ensures the responsible development of Western Australia’s mineral, petroleum, and geothermal resources. DEMIRS regulates the mining industry to ensure environmental compliance and implementation of best practices in environmental management in accordance with the Mining Act of WA. All new mining projects require approval of a Mining Development and Closure Proposal by DEMIRS prior to ground disturbance. According to the Mining Act, a standalone Mine Closure Plan (MCP) must be submitted to DEMIRS to demonstrate that the mining operation is planning and progressing towards successful closure and achievement of the closure outcomes for the operation. Updated revisions of the MCP are then submitted and approved by DEMIRS, as required.
Under the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Act 2012 and associated Regulations 2013, DEMIRS administers the Mining Rehabilitation Fund (MRF), which is a pooled fund to facilitate the rehabilitation of historical abandoned mines inherited by the government. All tenement holders operating under the Mining Act of WA tenure are required to report disturbance data and contribute annually to the MRF. Closure cost liability estimates are also a component of closure planning and are required for inclusion in the financial reporting of Australian companies as per the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Groundwater exploration and abstraction is regulated under the Rights in Water Irrigation Act 1914 (Western Australia), administered by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. The regulation requires specific license applications to assess environmental impacts including consideration of other users, sustainability of aquifers and groundwater dependent ecosystems. Purchase of water from existing water networks and infrastructure is governed by the Water Corporation under the Water Corporation Act 1995 (Western Australia), which applies to the Mt Holland mine site and Kwinana Lithium Hydroxide Plant.
The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) is tracking pollution across Australia and ensures that the community has access to information about the emission and transfer of toxic substances which may affect them locally. There has been increasing community demand to know about toxic substances emitted to the local environment. Australian, state and territory governments have agreed to legislation called NEPM, which helps protect or manage particular aspects of the environment. Australian industries are required to monitor, measure and report their emissions under this legislation.
Mining companies in Australia are subject to the National Environmental Protection (National Pollutant Inventory) Measure 1998 as part of their environmental management obligations. This framework requires mining companies to track and report pollutant emissions on an annual basis and manage their environmental impacts in line with national standards.
Climate Change
In Australia, there are a range of climate change laws and regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) promoting energy efficiency, and encouraging the use of renewable energy in the mining sector. The National Greenhouse Emissions Reporting (NGER) Scheme, managed by the Clean Energy Regulator and governed by the NGER Act 2007, requires mining companies to report their GHG, energy consumption, and production data annually. Mining companies must submit detailed annual reports on their energy usage and emissions (scope 1 and 2), which are used to track national emissions and to assess the effectiveness of Australia’s climate change laws.
The Safeguard Mechanism (established under the Clean Energy Act 2011 (Cth)) applies to large emitters (i.e., facilities that emit more than a baseline of 100,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent per year). Large emitters are required to keep their emissions below the baseline. If they exceed their emissions limits, they must either purchase carbon credits or invest in emissions reduction projects to offset the excess. This requirement will be triggered when the Kwinana Lithium Hydroxide Refinery is in steady-state operations (entering commissioning in 2025).
New laws for climate-related risk disclosures have been introduced in 2024. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) will oversee compliance with the Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Bill 2024 (Cth) including amendments to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth). The phased in approach will require Australian companies to prepare and disclose an audited sustainability report alongside their annual financial statements. The report shall be prepared in accordance with Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), which have been issued by the AASB (specifically AASB 2 Climate-related Disclosures) and includes information on material climate-related risks and opportunities, governance structures, risk management processes, and metrics (Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG). This legislation aligns Australia with international standards on climate-related disclosures, such as those recommended by the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS S1 and S2).

Health and safety
DEMIRS also administers the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 (WA) and the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 (WA) (collectively, "WHS Act"). The WHS Act includes personal responsibilities for company Directors or person's conducting a business or undertaking to comply with work health and safety obligations. The company has a primary duty of care to ensure the health and safety of workers while they are at work, consulting with workers about work health and safety hazards and implement a Mine Safety Management System (MSMS). The MSMS includes provisions for health monitoring, risk management, and emergency preparedness specific to mining operations. This includes ensuring the safety of workers, contractors, and the public, with a strong focus on safety training and the provision of necessary protective equipment. The legislation mandates that employers take proactive steps to eliminate, minimize, or control potential hazards that workers may face, such as exposure to toxic substances or physical dangers from mining equipment.
The Dangerous Goods Act 2004, also administered by DEMIRS, regulates the storage, handling, and transport of dangerous goods, ensuring that workers and the environment are protected from hazardous substances.
Western Australia also has laws for workers' compensation, ensuring that workers who are injured on the job receive medical benefits and compensation. The Workers' Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023, administered by WorkCover WA, provides a framework for compensating workers for work-related injuries and illnesses.
Labor and Human Rights
The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and associated Regulations (2009) provide a legal framework for workplace relations in Australia. In addition to the Fair Work Act 2009, mining companies must ensure compliance with recent amendments aimed at improving worker conditions, particularly within the Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO) sector. Recent amendments to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) through the "Closing the Loopholes" and "Respect@Work" changes are being implemented progressively between 2023 and 2025.
Relevant "Closing the Loopholes" changes include (i) prohibition on discrimination against employees who have experienced family and domestic violence, (ii) "same job same pay" changes that provide employees (or their representatives) with the ability to apply for a "regulated labor hire arrangement order" to require a labor hire provider to pay its employees no less than they would be paid under the host employer’s enterprise agreement, (iii) criminal offenses for intentional wage theft (including large fines and imprisonment) and (iv) increased rights of union delegates in the workplace. The "Right to Disconnect" law was implemented in 2024 to protect workers from excessive work-related communications outside of regular working hours, ensuring they have the right to disconnect from their work without facing negative consequences.
The "Respect@Work" changes introduce an affirmative obligation on employers to eliminate (i) workplace sexual harassment, sex discrimination and sex-based harassment; (ii) conduct that amounts to subjecting a person to a hostile workplace environment on the ground of sex; and (iii) certain acts of victimization. There is a particular focus on this issue in the Western Australia mining industry in light of the state Government’s "Enough is Enough: Sexual harassment against women in the FIFO mining industry" report released in September 2022. Mining companies are obligated to implement policies that prevent harassment, provide education and training to workers, and create safe, inclusive work environments.
Other relevant federal human rights legislation includes the Age Discrimination Act 2004, Disability Discrimination Act 1992, and Racial Discrimination Act 1975. These laws are administered by the Australian Human Rights Commission, which operates under the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 to fulfil Australia’s role in complying with international human rights covenants to which it is a party. Australia has agreed to implement the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (“UNGPs”). By implementing the UNGPs, entities have a responsibility to respect human rights in their operations and supply chains. The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) requires Australian companies (with annual consolidated revenue of at least A$100 million) to disclose actions taken to assess and address modern slavery risks in their business and supply chains.
Indigenous Peoples
49

Table of Contents
The Aboriginal Heritage Act 2021 (WA) (“AH Act”) and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (“NT Act”) govern obligations relating to Aboriginal heritage and native title when undertaking activities on Australian land.
The AH Act protects and manages Aboriginal cultural heritage sites by requiring approval for activities that may impact or cause harm to Aboriginal heritage (such as archaeological and ethnographic sites which are of significance to Aboriginal people). Before undertaking activities on land in Western Australia, SQM is required to survey the lands for Aboriginal cultural heritage, which includes both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Under the AH Act, if an Aboriginal heritage site is identified, there is a regime for permits and approvals to disturb or destroy Aboriginal heritage sites. Under section 18 of the AH Act, the Minister determines whether to grant the party with tenure (over the land where Aboriginal heritage has been identified) permission to impact Aboriginal heritage sites, i.e. by undertaking mining activities.
The NT Act allows indigenous groups to seek legal recognition of their traditional rights over land and waters by providing a process to make Native Titles claims in the Federal Court of Australia. The NT Act regulates how land can be used or developed in areas where native title is claimed or exists. "Future acts" such as development or mining on native title land must undergo a process of consultation. This consultation process is a prerequisite before undertaking development activities, including exploration and mining. The Act also provides for obtaining consent from native title holders through negotiation and agreements regarding the use of land or waters and can include arrangements for land access, compensation, and other conditions related to native title.
Foreign Investment
Under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 2021 (Cth), foreign investment in Australian mining projects is subject to review by the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) to determine whether the foreign investment proposals could compromise resource security, national defense interests, or the environment. The Australian Treasurer is responsible for making a decision on whether or not to approve foreign investment proposals. Like many countries, Australia reviews foreign investment proposals on a case-by-case basis to ensure they are not contrary to the national interest. The review framework is well-established, practical, and non-discriminatory.
International Regulations

Mineral Reserves and Resources
Information concerning SQM's mining properties in this Form 20-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Among other things, subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of Mineral Resources, in addition to Mineral Reserves, as of December 31, 2024, both in the aggregate and for each of our individually material mining properties. Our Mineral Reserves and Resources are estimated by individuals deemed Qualified Persons ("QP") according to the standards set forth in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K.
SQM is a production stage company based on the classification of its material properties, which include Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates for development and production stage projects. See the individual property disclosures below for further details regarding the mineral rights, titles, property size, permits and other information for our significant mineral extraction properties.
Mineral Resources and Reserves are defined in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K as follows:
•Mineral Resource: A concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled.
•Mineral Reserve: An estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of a QP, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically
51

Table of Contents
mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted.
Under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, mineral resources may not be classified as mineral reserves unless the determination has been made by a QP that such mineral resources can be the basis of an economically viable project. The conversion of a reported Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves should not be assumed.
Mineral resource classifications are differentiated under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, in part, as follows:
•Measured resource. That part of a mineral resource with the highest level of geological confidence; quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a QP to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
•Indicated resource. That part of a mineral resource with a level of geological confidence between that of measured and inferred resources; quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a QP to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
•Inferred resource. That part of a mineral resource with the lowest level of geological confidence; quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability.
Caliche
Geologists and mining engineers who are QPs have prepared estimates of caliche ore resources and reserves. The resource and reserve figures presented below are estimates and may be subject to modifications due to natural factors that affect the distribution of mineral grades, which would, in turn, modify the recovery of nitrate and iodine. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the indicated levels of recovery of nitrates and iodine will be realized. Estimates of ore resources and reserves are based on evaluations, performed by engineers and geologists, of assay values derived from sampling of drillholes and additional samples. Drillholes have been made at different spaced intervals suitable to defining a resource. Drill patterns begin at 400 x 400 meters and spacing is reduced to 200 x 200 meters, 100 x 100 meters, 100 x 50 meters, and 50 x 50 meters. The caliche ore is unique and different from other metallic and non-metallic minerals. Caliche ore is found in large horizontal layers at depths ranging from one to four meters and has an overburden between zero and two meters. This horizontal layering is a natural geological condition that allows resource estimates to be made with high confidence in the continuity of the caliche bed, based on surface geological reconnaissance and analysis of samples and trenches.
Salar de Atacama
Hydrogeologists and geologists who are QPs prepare the resource and reserve estimates of potassium, sulfate, lithium and boron dissolved in brines at the Salar de Atacama. SQM holds exploitation concessions through Corfo covering an area of 81,920 hectares, over which SQM staff have carried out geological exploitation, brine sampling and geostatistical analysis.
Mount Holland
Geologists and mining engineers who are QPs prepared the mineral resource and reserve estimation for lithium contained in pegmatites at Mount Holland. The mineral reserve has been calculated from the mine plan created from the mineral resource estimation. Wireframes for the geological domains are defined by geochemical criteria of SiO 2 > 70% and Fe 2 O 3 < 3%, which is representative of pegmatite with minimal host rock dilution as verified against geological logging.
Mining Rights
The discussion of SQM's mining rights is organized below according to the geographic location of its mining operations. SQM's caliche ore mining interests are located throughout the valley of the Tarapacá and Antofagasta regions of northern Chile (in a part of the country known as “El Norte Grande”). From caliche ore, SQM produces products based on nitrates and iodine, and caliche also contains concentrations of potassium. SQM's mining interests in the brine deposits of the Salar de Atacama are found within the Atacama Desert, in the eastern region of El Norte Grande. From these brines SQM primarily produces products based on potassium, sulfate, and lithium. SQM's lithium mining interests are located in Mount

Mining Concessions in Chile
SQM holds mining rights in Chile pursuant to mining concessions for exploration and exploitation of mining resources granted pursuant to applicable law in Chile. For a discussion of the mining concessions, see “Material Individual Properties — El Norte Grande — Mining Concessions for the Exploration and Exploitation of Caliche Ore” and “—Salar de Atacama Mining Concessions for Exploitation of Brines.”
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 99.33% of SQM’s mining interests in Chile were held pursuant to Mining Exploitation Concessions and 0.67% pursuant to Mining Exploration Concessions. Of the Mining Exploitation Concessions, approximately 99.05% already have been granted pursuant to applicable Chilean law, and approximately 0.95% are in the process of being granted. Of the Mining Exploration Concessions, approximately 100% already have been granted pursuant to applicable Chilean law.
In 2024, we made payments of US$20.3 million to the Chilean government for Mining Exploration and Exploitation Concessions, including the concessions we lease from Corfo. These payments do not include the payments we made directly to Corfo pursuant to the SQM-Corfo Agreements, according to the percentages of the sales price of products produced using brines from the Salar de Atacama.
The following table shows the Mining Exploitation and Exploration Concessions held by SQM, including the mining properties we lease from Corfo, as of December 31, 2024:

|  | Exploitation Concessions |  | Exploration Concessions |  | Total
Region of Chile |  | Total Number |  | Hectares |  | Total Number |  | Hectares |  | Total Number |  | Hectares
Region I |  | 2,717 |  | 509,628 |  | 12 |  | 2,400 |  | 2,729 |  | 512,028
Region II |  | 8,883 |  | 2,346,364 |  | 51 |  | 16,400 |  | 8,934 |  | 2,362,764
Region III and others |  | 455 |  | 104,621 |  | 1 |  | 100 |  | 456 |  | 104,721
Total |  | 12,055 |  | 2,960,613 |  | 64 |  | 18,900 |  | 12,119 |  | 2,979,513

The majority of the Mining Exploitation Concessions held by SQM were requested primarily for non-metallic mining purposes. However, a small percentage of our Mining Exploration Concessions were requested for metallic mining purposes. The annual payment to the Chilean government for this group of concessions is higher.
The current modifications to the Mining Code under Chilean Law No. 21,420 and others, modified the amount of mining protection through the creation of article 142 bis, determining that, a reduced mining patent is not contemplated for exploitation of mining concessions which economic interest is related to non-metallic substances. However, it allows the reduction of patent for exploitation concessions, when verifying work in the concession and/or accrediting the obtaining of an RCA with respect to its exploration project in the Environmental Impact Assessment System.
Mount Holland Mining Rights
The Mount Holland lithium project development envelope for the Mine and Concentrator is spread across three core mining tenements (M77/1065, M77/1066 & M77/1080), as well as exploration licenses, general purpose licenses and miscellaneous licenses (Project Tenements), covering an approximate area of 4,626 hectares. A summary map showing the main tenements is provided in Figure 2.
The majority of the project properties are currently registered in equal parts to (i) MH Gold and Montague Resources Australia Pty Ltd, both ultimately owned by Wesfarmers and (ii) SQM Australia — an affiliate of SQM. The project is a an unincorporated joint venture, of which SQM and Wesfarmers, through a wholly owned subsidiary, each holding 50% of the assets. The joint venture is managed by Covalent, an entity equally owned (50/50) by SQM and Wesfarmers.
Covalent is neither the registered holder nor the applicant of the project properties under the Mining Act of 1978 of WA (Mining Law).
The Kwinana refinery development is located on a long-term lease covering 40.5 hectares at Lot 15, Mason Road in Kwinana. The lease was registered by Covalent with Development WA in September 2021.

(1)Comparisons of values may not add due to rounding of numbers and the differences caused by averaging.
(2)The units "Mm3", “Mt”, “kt”, “ppm” and % refer to million cubic meters, million metric tons, thousand metric tons, parts per million, and percent by weight, respectively.
(3)Salar de Atacama, Chile. The process efficiency is based on the type of extracted brine at each well over the course of the simulation, the average process efficiency over the entire life of mine (LoM) is approximately 52% for lithium and approximately 74% for potassium.
(4)Salar de Atacama, Chile. The average lithium and potassium concentration is weighted by the simulated extraction rates in each well.
(5)Salar de Atacama, Chile. The mineral resource and reserve estimate considers a 0.05% w/w cut-off grade for lithium based on the cost of generating lithium product, lithium carbonate sales, and the respective cost margin. Based on historical lithium prices from
58

Table of Contents
2010 and the forecast to 2040, a projected lithium carbonate price of US$11,000 per metric ton with the corresponding cost and profit margin is considered with a small increase to accommodate the evaporation area and use of additives. A similar analysis was undertaken for potassium where the cut-off grade of 1% w/w has been set by SQM based on respective costs, sales, and margin.
(6)Salar de Atacama, Chile. This reserve estimate differs from the in-situ base reserve previously reported (SQM, 2020) and considers the modifying factors of converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, including the production wellfield design and efficiency, as well as environmental and process recovery factors. The reserve estimate also considers the expiry of the Lease Agreement in 2030 (end of LoM). The QP for the Mineral Reserves is Rodrigo Riquelme.
(7)Earl Grey deposit, Mount Holland, Australia. The Mineral Reserves reported in the table correspond to 50% attributable to SQM. The tonnage and average grade of the Mineral Reserve have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and figures may not match due to rounding. Indicated in-situ resources have been converted to probable reserves. Measured in-situ resources have been converted to proven Mineral Reserves. Measured in-situ resources with an iron oxide grade greater than 2.5% are considered feed ore for the Ore Sorter and have been converted to probable mineral reserves. Mining dilution has been estimated using a regularized model, with block sizes of 5m x 5m x 5m, and an additional 1.5m edge dilution is considered. The Mineral Reserve has been limited to modeled blocks with at least 50% by volume of spodumene-bearing pegmatite. The metallurgical processes are designed for a maximum nominal feed of 2 Mtpa of ore. Spodumene concentrate recovery is estimated at 75% lithium oxide in predominantly spodumene mineralization and 0% for other mineralization types (petalite and mixed spodumene and petalite). The following costs were considered for the reserve evaluation: mining cost of US$5.82/t, process cost of US$44.67/t feed to the concentrator, general costs of US$8.95/t feed to the concentrator, and logistics costs of US$42.39/t concentrate. Mining dilution was set at 5% and recovery at 95%. Estimated costs in Australian dollars were converted to US dollars based on an exchange rate of AU$0.70:US$1.00. These economic parameters result in a Mineral Reserve cut-off grade of 0.5% lithium oxide, assuming a price of US$1,200 FOB per tonne of 6% lithium oxide concentrate at SQM's Bunbury warehouses. The price used is derived from the long-term forecast made by Benchmark Minerals in December 2024 and was used for the reserve estimate. It does not represent an opinion or consensus on future prices by any of the partners. GeoInnova Consultores are the Qualified Person responsible for Mineral Reserves, effective December 31, 2024.
(8)El Norte Grande Caliche, Chile. The cut-off grades of the proven and probable Reserves vary according to the required targets at the different mines. The values assigned correspond to the averages of the different sectors. The cut-off grade comes from the Cut-off Benefit and is expressed as equivalent iodine.
(9)El Norte Grande Caliche, Chile. The average overall metallurgical recovery of the nitrate and iodine processes contained in the recovered material varies between 50% and 80%.
(10)The mineral reserve estimate considers a cut-off Benefit > 3.0 USD/t based on the production costs of iodine and derivative products. Based on historical iodine prices from 2010 and the forecast to 2040, a projected Iodine price of US$42,000 per metric ton is determined, considering the corresponding operational, financial and planned investment costs, depreciation, profit margin and taxes. A similar analysis was undertaken for nitrates based on respective costs for potassium-sodium nitrates (fertilizers) production. A projected price of US$820 per metric ton for potassium-sodium nitrates is considered by SQM in the economic analysis executed from 2010 and the forecast to 2040. The QPs for Nueva Victoria and Pampa Blanca mineral reserves are Marco Fazzi, Freddy Ildefonso and Gino Slanzi.

(3)Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves upon the application of modifying factors.
(4)Salar de Atacama, Chile. Mineral resources are reported as in-situ and exclusive of mineral reserves, where the estimated mineral reserve without processing losses during the reported life of mine (LoM) and real declared extraction from 2024 were subtracted from the mineral resource inclusive of mineral reserves. A direct correlation between proven reserves and measured resources, as well as probable reserves and indicated resources was assumed.The QP for the Mineral Resources is Juan Becerra.
(5)Salar de Atacama, Chile. The mineral resource and reserve estimate consider a 0.05% w/w cut-off grade for lithium based on the cost of generating lithium product, lithium carbonate sales, and the respective cost margin. Based on historical lithium prices from 2010 and the forecast to 2040, a projected lithium carbonate price of US$11,000 per metric ton with the corresponding cost and profit margin is considered with a small increase to accommodate the evaporation area and use of additives. A similar analysis was undertaken for potassium where the cut-off grade of 1% w/w has been set by SQM based on respective costs, sales, and margin.
(6)Earl Grey deposit, Mount Holland, Australia. The declared Mineral Resources correspond to 50% attributable to SQM and are reported as exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resource tonnage and average contained grade have been rounded to reflect estimation accuracy, and figures may not match due to rounding. Resources are reported as in situ based on a regularized 5m x 5m x 5m block model, constrained in a Resource Pit using a Lerchs-Grossman optimization algorithm, and below the current pit surface as of December 27, 2024. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is a reasonable expectation that Inferred Resources within the Reserve Pit can be converted to Measured and Indicated Resources with additional drilling and exploration. There is a reasonable expectation that Mineral Resources that do not meet the mineralogical criteria for Mineral Reserves can be recovered by alternative processing methods. Resource pit optimization and economic parameters for deriving the cut-off grade include a price of US$1,300 FOB per tonne of 6% lithium oxide concentrate at SQM's Bunbury warehouses. The price used is the average forecast for 2026-2024 by Benchmark Minerals in December 2024 and does not represent an opinion or consensus of future prices by any of the joint venture partners. The costs used for optimization are: mining cost of US$5.82/t, process cost of US$44.67/t fed to the concentrator, general costs of US$8.95/t fed to the concentrator, and logistics costs of US$42.39/t of concentrate. Mining dilution is set at 5% and mining recovery at 95%. Royalty fees are 5%. The optimization considered for the concentrator is 75% for spodumene mineral zones, 55% for mixed spodumene and petalite mineralogy, 35% for petalite mineralogy, and 0% for other lithium minerals. Cost estimates in Australian dollars were converted to US dollars based on an exchange rate of AU$0.70:US$1.00. These economic parameters define a cut-off grade of 0.50% lithium oxide for the spodumene and mixed spodumene and petalite domains and 0.78% lithium oxide for petalite minerals. GeoInnova Consultores are the Qualified person responsible for the mineral resource estimate, effective December 31, 2024.
(7)El Norte Grande, Caliche, Chile. To calculate measured resources, SQM uses the results of the drill holes with spacing of 50 x 50 m and 100 x 100 m (RGM50 and RGM100) and a 3D block model built with Ordinary Kriging (OK). Indicated resources are calculated for areas with drill hole spacing of 100 x 100 m to 200 x 200m (RGM100 up to RGM200) and 3D block model obtained from the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). To evaluate measured and indicated resources, SQM applies the following criteria: Caliche thickness >2.0 m; overburden thickness < 3.0 m; barren/mineral ratio < 1.0 and Cut-off benefit > 0.1 USD/t. The mineral resource estimates were prepared by Marco Fazzi (who is the QP for these mineral resource estimates), reported using the SK 1300 Definition Standards adopted December 2018. The QPs for Nueva Victoria and Pampa Blanca mineral reserves are Marco Fazzi, Freddy Ildefonso and Gino Slanzi.
(8)El Norte Grande, Caliche, Chile. The estimate was completed using a SG of 2.1 ton/m³. Cut-off grade for equivalent iodine vary according to the targets required at the different mines. The values assigned correspond to the average of the different sectors. The mineral resources estimate considers a cut-off grade of equivalent iodine based on the production costs of iodine and its derivative products. Based on historical iodine prices from 2010 and the forecast to 2040, a projected iodine price of US$42,000 per metric ton is determined, taking in account the corresponding operational, financial and planned investment costs, depreciation, profit margin and taxes. A similar analysis was undertaken for nitrates based on the respective costs for potassium-sodium nitrates (fertilizers) production. A projected price of US$820 per metric ton for potassium-sodium nitrates is considered by SQM in the economic analysis executed from 2010 and the forecast to 2040.
Material Individual Properties
To determine our individually material mining operations in accordance with subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, management considered both quantitative and qualitative factors, assessed in the context of our overall business and financial condition. Such assessment included the aggregate mining operations on all of SQM mining properties, regardless of the stage of production or the type of mineral produced. Quantitative factors included, among others, mining operations’, the relative contributions of mining operations to SQM's aggregate historical and estimated revenues, cash flows, and EBITDA. Qualitative factors may include, as applicable, capital expansion plans, long-term pricing outlook, the regulatory environment and various strategic priorities. SQM has determined that, as of December 31, 2024, its individually material mines are the caliche ore mines at Nueva Victoria, Pampa Blanca and Pampa Orcoma in El Norte Grande region of Chile, the brines in the Salar de Atacama in Chile and the Mount Holland lithium project in Western Australia. SQM will update its assessment of individually material mines on an annual basis.
Information that follows relating to such individually material properties is derived from the technical report summary (TRS) relating to such properties prepared in compliance with Item 601(b)(96) and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Portions of the following information are based on assumptions, qualifications and procedures that are not fully described herein. Reference should be made to the full text of the TRS, incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Form 20-F. The relevant TRS for the Salar de Atacama property, the Nueva Victoria property, the Pampa Blanca property and

the Pampa Orcoma property, and the Mount Holland lithium project properties are included as Exhibits 96.1, 96.2, 96.3, 96.4 and 96.5, respectively, to this Form 20-F.
El Norte Grande Caliche, Chile
SQM's mining operations are concentrated in the First Region of Chile, where we mainly work in the mining areas of Tente en el Aire, Nueva Victoria Oeste, Hermosa and Torcaza, and in the Second Region of Chile, where we work in the mining area of Pampa Blanca.
The El Norte Grande Caliche, found in Regions I and II of northern Chile, corresponds to flat areas or “pampas”, that have been thoroughly explored. Results indicate that these prospects hold mineralization of nitrate and iodine. The area is accessible from Santiago through Route 5. The mineralization is stratiform in style, with a wide areal distribution, forming "spots" of several kilometers in extension, where mineralization thicknesses are variable. As a result of geological activity over time (volcanism, weathering, faulting) the deposits form continuous mantles. Environmental permits for mining operations, and the corresponding Environmental Qualification Resolution, grant access to the required water and electricity supply, as well as the infrastructure required for the mining operation.
Facilities
Nueva Victoria
The Nueva Victoria mine and facilities are located 140 kilometers southeast of Iquique and are accessible by highway. Since 2007, the Nueva Victoria mine includes the mining properties Soronal, Mapocho and Iris. At this site, SQM uses caliche ore to produce salts rich in nitrates and iodine, through heap leaching and the use of solar evaporation ponds. The main production facilities at this site include the operation centers for the heap leaching process, the iodide and iodine plants at Nueva Victoria and Iris and the evaporation ponds at the Sur Viejo sector of the site. The areas currently being mined are located approximately 27 kilometers northeast of Nueva Victoria. Solar energy and electricity are the primary sources of power for this operation. The nitrate-rich salts are sent to Coya Sur, which is a processing plant located approximately 15 kilometers south of María Elena, and production activities undertaken there are associated with the production of potassium nitrate and finished products. The main production plants at this site include three potassium nitrate plants with a total capacity of 900,000 metric tons per year. There are also four production lines for crystallized nitrates, with a total capacity of 1,200,000 metric tons per year, and a prilling plant with a capacity of 360,000 metric tons per year. The potassium nitrate produced at Coya Sur is an intermediate product that is used as a raw material for the production of finished products (crystallized nitrates and prilled nitrates). Therefore, the production capacities listed above are not independent of one another and cannot be added together to obtain an overall total capacity. Natural gas is the main source of energy for the Coya Sur operation.
Pampa Blanca
The Pampa Blanca Project mine and facilities are located in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile. It is located 100 kilometers northeast of the city of Antofagasta, in the commune of Sierra Gorda. The property has an area of 51,201 hectares and is composed of 152 mining concessions. The Pampa Blanca Project aims to produce salts rich in iodide, iodine and nitrate from the processing of caliche, extracted from deposits rich in this mineral. The Pampa Blanca Mining Plan considers an initial extraction of caliche at a rate of 5.5 million metric tons per year between 2024-2040. For the period 2024-2040 a total extraction of 85.3 million metric tons of caliche is projected with an average grade of 392 ppm of iodine and 5.4% of nitrates. The production process to obtain iodine as the main product, along with salts rich in sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate as by-products, consists of heap leaching with fresh water or with recirculated solutions to obtain a solution rich in iodate, which will then be treated in a chemical plant to transform it into elemental iodine in prill format. Solar energy and electricity are the main sources of energy for this operation. The Pampa Blanca Project facilities also include operation centers for the heap leaching process, iodide plant, and evaporation ponds.
Pampa Orcoma
The Pampa Orcoma Project is located in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile. It is situated 99 kilometers to the northeast of the city of Iquique, in the community of Huara. The property covers an area of 10,296 hectares and is composed of 45 mining concessions. The Pampa Orcoma Project aims to produce iodide, iodine and nitrate-rich salts from the processing of caliche that will be extracted from deposits rich in this mineral. The Pampa Orcoma Mining Plan considers an initial extraction of caliche at a rate of 8.4 million metric tons per year during the first four years of operation, followed by an
62

Table of Contents
extraction rate of 20 million metric tons per year from the fifth year of operation onwards. For the 16 year of LoM, a total extraction of 287.4 million metric tons of caliche is projected with an average grade of 408 ppm iodine and 6.7% nitrates. The production process to obtain iodine as the main product, along with salts rich in sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate as by-products, involves leaching with seawater or with recirculated solutions to obtain a solution rich in iodate, which will then be treated in chemical plants to transform it into elemental iodine in prill format. The Pampa Orcoma Project plan includes the construction of the following facilities: iodide and iodine production plants, with a capacity of 2,500 metric tons per year (of equivalent iodine), evaporation ponds to produce salts rich in nitrate at a rate of 320,325 metric tons per year and a seawater adduction pipe to meet the water needs. Solar energy and electricity are the primary sources of energy for this future operation. The development of the Pampa Orcoma Project was postponed, with no changes to the project information since December 31, 2022.
The following table provides a summary of the El Norte Grande production facilities as of December 31, 2024:

Reserves and Resources
According to SQM's experience in caliche ore extraction, the grid pattern drillholes with spacings between 50 and 100 meters produce data on the caliche resources that is sufficiently defined to consider them measured resources and then, adjusting for technical, economic and legal aspects, as proven reserves. These reserves are obtained using the Kriging Method and the application of operating parameters to obtain economically profitable reserves.
Similarly, the information obtained from detailed geologic work and samples taken from grid pattern drillholes with spacings between 100 and 200 meters can be used to determine indicated resources. By adjusting such indicated resources to account for technical, economic and legal factors, it is possible to calculate probable reserves. Probable reserves are calculated by using a Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), and have an uncertainty or margin of error greater than that of proven reserves. However, the degree of certainty of probable reserves is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
The conversion of resources into reserves requires consideration of modifying factors, the most relevant of which is the existence of a valid environmental license (RCA or Sectorial Authorization). The criteria for converting resources into reserves, based on the environmental license modifying factor criterion, adopted for caliche mines are as follows:
1.Caliche Thickness of ≥ 2.0 m and Overburden Thickness of ≤ 3.0 m
2.Barren / Mineral Ratio of ≤ 1.0 m and slope of ≤ 8%
3.Cut-off Benefit of ≥ 3.0 USD/t
4.Only measured and indicated resources with a valid environmental license are converted into proven and probable reserves, respectively.

The Nueva Victoria deposit's proven mineral reserves of 781 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, increased by 387% from 201.8 million metric tons as of December 31, 2023. The Nueva Victoria probable mineral reserves of 254 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, decreased by 48% from 529 million metric tons as of December 31, 2023. The increase in mineral reserves was driven by mine exploitation and recategorization of probable reserves in Hermosa Oeste and Franja Oeste, with a corresponding reduction in probable reserves. In 2023, no measured resources excluding reserves were reported, while in 2024 there are 223 million metric tons of measured resources. The indicated mineral resources of 41 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, increased by 48% fron 20 million metric tons as of December 31, 2023. The Nueva Victoria inferred mineral resources of 49 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, had no changes from the amounts as of December 31, 2023.
The Pampa Orcoma probable mineral reserves and indicated mineral resources of 309 million metric tons and 18 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, respectively, remained unchanged from the amounts as of December 31, 2023, because there were no material changes that would modify the estimated mineral reserves.
The Pampa Blanca proven mineral reserves of 85.3 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024 increased by 282% from 30.2 million metric tons as of December 31, 2023. There were no Pampa Blanca probable mineral reserves reported as of December 31, 2024 compared to Pampa Blanca probable mineral reserves of 12.1 million metric tons as of December 31, 2023.
The proven and probable reserves shown above are the result of the evaluation of approximately 23.2% of the total caliche-related mining property of our Company. However, we have explored more intensely the areas in which we believe there is a higher potential of finding high-grade caliche ore minerals. The remaining 76.8% of this area has not been explored or has had limited reconnaissance, which is not sufficient to determine the potential and hypothetical resources. In 2024, basic recognition of new mining properties in the Pampa Fortuna sector equivalent to 3,500 hectares was carried out. With respect to detailed explorations, in 2024, campaigns were carried out to recategorize indicated resources equivalent to 5,325 hectares in the Hermosa Oeste, Pampa Engañadora, Franja Oeste, Tea Oeste, Iris Vigia, Mina Sur and Mina Oeste sectors. An advanced exploration program is already designed for 2025, intended to cover an area of 34,350 hectares in the Toco Norte, Pampa Fortuna; Salinas; Hermosa Oeste and Franja Oeste sectors. The reserves shown in these tables are calculated based on properties that are not involved in any legal disputes between SQM and other parties.
We maintain an ongoing program of exploration and resource evaluation on the land surrounding our production mines, and other sites for which we have the appropriate concessions.
The information presented in the table with respect to the Nueva Victoria, Pampa Orcoma and Pampa Blanca mines has been validated by the following QPs:

Mining Concessions for the Exploration and Exploitation of Caliche Ore.
We hold our mining rights for caliche ore pursuant to mining concessions for exploration and exploitation of mining resources that have been granted pursuant to applicable law in Chile:
(1)“Mining Exploitation Concessions”: entitle us to use the land in order to exploit the mineral resources contained therein on a perpetual basis, subject to annual payments to the Chilean government; and
(2)“Mining Exploration Concessions”: entitle us to use the land in order to explore for and verify the existence of mineral resources for a period of two years, at the expiration of which the concession may be extended one time only for two additional years, if the area covered by the concession is reduced by half. We may alternatively request an exploitation concession in respect of the area covered by the original exploration concession, which must be made within the timeframe established by the original exploration concession.
(3)In addition, the current modifications to the Mining Code under Law 21,420 and others, modified the validity of the exploration concessions, which will be four years, allowing the validity to be extended for up to four more years for a single time if geological information is delivered as a result of the exploration or if an RCA has been obtained or an admissible project has been entered into the Environmental Impact Assessment System.
A Mining Exploration Concession is generally obtained for purposes of evaluating the mineral resources in a defined area. If the holder of the Mining Exploration Concession determines that the area does not contain commercially exploitable mineral resources, the Mining Exploration Concession is usually allowed to lapse. An application also can be made for a Mining Exploitation Concession without first having obtained a Mining Exploration Concession for the area involved.
A s of December 31, 2024, the surface area covered by Mining Exploitation Concessions that have been granted in relation to the caliche resources of our mining sites was approximately 557,710 hectares, excluding future expansions. We have not requested additional mining rights.
Salar de Atacama, Chile
The operations of SQM in the Salar de Atacama are located in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, which covers the El Loa Province and the San Pedro de Atacama commune. The Salar de Atacama Project is currently in operation for the treatment of brines to obtain lithium and potassium salts, and as such it is in a production stage. The Salar de Atacama deposits are owned by Corfo, which grants special operating contracts or administrative leases to private companies for the extraction of brine. SQM and Albemarle have a lease agreement with Corfo to extract and produce lithium from brines stored in the Salar de Atacama deposit. Consequently, SQM must follow the terms of the agreement and also the conditions established in current RCAs in order to retain operations in the Salar de Atacama. Exploration is routinely carried out within the established areas.
SQM leases an area of about 1,400 square kilometers with permission to extract brines from an area of 820 square kilometers with two core operations. It currently produces lithium at its southwest operation. The lease was signed in 1993 and expires on December 31, 2030.
The closest cities are Calama and Antofagasta, located 160 and 230 kilometers west of the site, respectively. From Calama, the road to the site is through Route R-23, and from Antofagasta, it is via Route B-385.
SQM’s mineral resource in the Salar de Atacama is constituted by in-situ brine within a porous media, and the resource estimate depends on the brine concentration, reservoir geometry, and drainable interconnected pore volume. Within SQM’s concessions, the lithium and potassium resources were estimated based on extensive exploration and many depth-specific samples from each unit.
The geology of the Salar de Atacama is characterized by sedimentary, evaporite, igneous and volcanic rocks from the Paleozoic to the Holocene eras, as well as recent unconsolidated clastic deposits and evaporitic sequences. The salt flat itself resides in a tectonic basin of recent compressive-transpressive behavior and is bounded by high angle reverse and strike-slip faults. The Salar de Atacama surface is constituted by recent evaporitic deposits, where over time the process of evaporation has precipitated salts, and surficial clastic sediments are found mainly along the salt flat margins. The salt crust is mainly composed of halite, sulfates, and occasional organic matter, with alluvial facies in the peripheral zones.

Table of Contents
Evaporitic and clastic deposits within the salt flat host brine with depth and are delimitated and cut by local fault systems; several structural blocks have been identified due to recent fault displacement.
The salar system of the Salar de Atacama basin is typical of a mature salar, with a nucleus constituted by a thick section of halite (>90%) with sulfate and a minor percentage of clastic sediments, as well as some interbedded clay sediments and sulfates over a surface area of 1,100 square kilometers and down to a depth of 900 meters. Within SQM’s concessions, mineralization includes lithium and potassium-rich brine in porous media of distinct zones and depths of the Salar de Atacama nucleus.
Facilities
Our facilities at the Salar de Atacama are located 210 kilometers to the east of the city of Antofagasta and 190 kilometers to the southeast of the city of María Elena. At this site we use brines extracted from the salar to produce potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and lithium chloride solutions, which are subsequently sent to the lithium carbonate plant at our Lithium chemical facility for processing. The main production plants at this site include the solar evaporations ponds systems, the potassium chloride flotation plants (MOP-H I and II), the potassium carnallite plants (PC I and PC I extension), the potassium sulfate flotation plant (SOP-H), the potassium chloride drying plant (Dual Plant or MOP-S), the potassium chloride compacting plant (MOP-G3), the potassium sulfate drying plant (SOP-S) and the potassium sulfate compacting plant (SOP-G). The energy used consists primarily of solar energy, as well as electricity, fuel and gas sources.
Our Lithium Chemical Plant site is located approximately 20 kilometers east of Antofagasta. The production plants at this facility include the lithium carbonate plant, with a production capacity of 210,000 tons per year, and the lithium hydroxide plant, with a production capacity of 40,000 tons per year. Lithium chloride (LiCl) solution is concentrated and purified in the lithium chemical plants through stages of contaminant removal (specifically boron, magnesium and calcium content) and conversion reaction to produce: technical grade lithium carbonate; battery grade lithium carbonate; technical grade lithium hydroxide; and battery grade lithium hydroxide. Electricity and natural gas are the main sources of energy for the operations of our Lithium Chemical Plant.
The following table provides a summary of the capacity of the Salar de Atacama production facilities as of December 31, 2024:

Facility |  | Type of Facility |  | Approximate Size (hectares) (1) |  | Nominal Production Capacity (thousands of metric tons/year) |  | Weighted Average Age (years) (2) |  | Gross Book Value (millions of US$) (2)

Lithium Chemical Plant, Antofagasta |  | Lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production |  | 126 |  | Lithium carbonate: 210 Lithium hydroxide: 40 |  | 3.81 |  | 1,495.8

________________________________________________
(1)Approximate size considers both the production facilities and the mine for the Salar de Atacama. Mining areas are those authorized for exploitation by the environmental authority and/or Sernageomin.
(2)Weighted average age and gross book value correspond to production facilities, excluding the mine, for the Salar de Atacama.
We directly or indirectly through subsidiaries own, lease or hold concessions over the facilities at which we carry out our operations. Such facilities are free of any material liens, pledges or encumbrances, and we believe they are suitable and adequate for the business we conduct in them.

(1)Lithium carbonate is produced from concentrated lithium chloride solution obtained at the Salar de Atacama and processed at our Lithium Chemical Plant near Antofagasta. Potassium salts include synthetic sylvinite produced in the plant and other harvested potassium salts (natural sylvinite, carnallites and harvests from plant ponds) that are sent to Coya Sur for the production of crystallized nitrates.
Reserves and Resources
The mineral reserve was estimated for potassium and lithium dissolved in brines of the Salar de Atacama considering modifying factors for converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, including the production wellfield design and efficiency, pumping scheme, and recovery factors for lithium and potassium. The projected future brine extraction was simulated using a flow and solute transport model. Numerical modeling was supported by a detailed calibration process and hydrogeological, geological, and hydrochemical data within the exploitation concessions. Based on the current SQM production wellfield, which corresponds to the effective date of mineral resource and reserve declaration that is most representative of 2024, we estimate that the proven and probable reserves of lithium and potassium are as follows:
Salar de Atacama—Summary of Mineral Reserves, Considering Process Recoveries (Effective December 31, 2024)(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6)

| Brine Volume (Million cubic meters) |  | Amount (Million metric tons) |  | Grades/Qualities (wt.%) |  | Cut-off grades (wt.%) |  | Metallurgical recovery (%)
Lithium |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Proven mineral reserves (Years 1-2) | 68 |  | 0.08 |  | 0.20 |  | 0.05 |  | 52

(1)The process efficiency is based on the type of extracted brine at each well over the course of the simulation, the average process efficiency over the entire LoM is approximately 52% for lithium and approximately 74% for potassium.
(2)The values in the “Amount” column correspond to contained metallic lithium (LME) and potassium.
(3)The average lithium and potassium concentration is weighted by the simulated extraction rates in each well
(4)Comparisons of values may not add due to rounding of numbers and the differences caused by averaging
(5)The mineral resource and reserve estimate considers a 0.05% w/w cut-off grade for lithium based on the cost of generating lithium product, lithium carbonate sales, and the respective cost margin. Based on historical lithium prices from 2010 and the forecast to 2040, a projected lithium carbonate price of US$11,000 per metric ton with the corresponding cost and profit margin is considered with a small increase to accommodate the evaporation area and use of additives. A similar analysis was undertaken for potassium where the cut-off grade of 1% w/w has been set by SQM based on respective costs, sales, and margin.

(6)This reserve estimate considers the modifying factors of converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, including the production wellfield design and efficiency, as well as environmental and process recovery factors. The reserve estimate also considers the expiry of the SQM-Corfo Agreements in 2030 (end of LoM). The QP for the Mineral Reserves is Rodrigo Riquelme.
Production well locations are based on the Measured and Indicated Resource zones. Due to the mixing of brines over time, hydrogeological processes, and pumping effects, the mineral reserve was classified based on time:
•Proven Reserves were specified for the first two years of the simulation given that the model is adequately calibrated to the 2015-2020 period, and the initial portion of the projected simulation has higher confidence due to less expected short-term changes in pumping, conceptual hydraulic parameters, and the water balance, among other factors.
•Probable Reserves were conservatively assigned for the last four years of the simulation considering that the numerical model will be continually improved and recalibrated in the future due to potential medium to long term changes in neighboring pumping, conceptual hydraulic parameters, and the water balance, among other factors.
Probable reserves and inferred resources are being continually explored in order to be able to reclassify them as proven reserves and indicated or measured resources, respectively. This exploration includes systematic packer testing, chemical brine sampling, and long-term pilot production pumping tests.
Complementing the reserve information, SQM has an environmental impact assessment (RCA 226/06) which defines a maximum brine extraction until the end of the SQM-Corfo Agreements (December 31, 2030). Considering the authorized maximum net brine production rates under RCA 226/06 and voluntary reduction plan announced by SQM, which is characterized by a reduction in future pumping from 1,166 L/s to 822 L/s during the 6-year LoM, a total of approximately 175 million cubic meters of brine will be extracted from the producing wells (considering process recoveries), corresponding to 0.22 million metric tons of lithium.
The lithium and potassium resource were classified into three categories (Measured, Indicated, Inferred) according to the amount of information from the hydrogeological units, as well as geostatistical criteria. Hydrogeological knowledge was prioritized as the first classification criterion based on exploration, monitoring, and historical production data, while geostatistical variables were used as a secondary criterion. We estimate that our lithium and potassium resources as of December 31, 2020, which we also consider as an adequate representation of December 31, 2024, are as follows:
Salar de Atacama—Summary of Mineral Resources, Exclusive of Mineral Reserves (Effective December 31, 2024) (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7)

(7)Juan Becerra is the QP responsible for the Mineral Resources.
Because both lithium and potassium are extracted from the same brines from the Salar de Atacama, the following discussion of changes in mineral reserves and resources in the Salar de Atacama apply to both lithium and potassium. The Salar de Atacama brine proven mineral reserves of 68 million cubic meters at December 31, 2024 decreased by 35% from 104 million cubic meters at December 31, 2023. The Salar de Atacama brine probable mineral reserves of 107 million cubic meters at December 31, 2024 remained unchanged from the amounts at December 31, 2023. The Salar de Atacama brine measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, exclusive of reserves, of 2,254 million cubic meters, 1,435 million cubic meters and 1,614 million cubic meters at December 31, 2024, respectively, remained unchanged from the amounts at December 31, 2023 because the mineral resource exclusive of mineral reserve represents the resource in place after LoM, and none of the mineral resource declared in 2023 has been converted to mineral reserves.

Mining Concessions for the Exploitation of Brines at the Salar de Atacama
As of December 31, 2024, our subsidiary SQM Salar held exclusive rights to exploit the mineral resources in an area covering approximately 140,000 hectares of land in the Salar de Atacama in northern Chile, of which SQM Salar is only entitled to exploit the mineral resources in 81,920 hectares. These rights are owned by Corfo and leased to SQM Salar pursuant to the SQM-Corfo Agreements. Corfo cannot unilaterally amend the Corfo Agreements, and the rights to exploit the resources cannot be transferred. The SQM-Corfo Agreements provides for SQM Salar to (i) make quarterly lease payments to Corfo based on product sales from leased mining properties and annual contributions to research and development, to local communities, to the Antofagasta Regional Government and to the municipalities of San Pedro de Atacama, María Elena and Antofagasta, (ii) maintain Corfo’s rights over the Mining Exploitation Concessions and (iii) make annual payments to the Chilean government for such concession rights. The SQM-Corfo Agreements were entered into in 1993 and expire on December 31, 2030.
Under the terms of the SQM-Corfo Agreements, Corfo has agreed that it will not permit any other person to explore, exploit or mine any mineral resources in the approximately 140,000 hectares area of the Salar de Atacama mentioned above.

Table of Contents
SQM Salar holds an additional 248,968 hectares of constituted Mining Exploitation Concessions in areas near the Salar de Atacama, which correspond to mining reserves that have not been exploited. SQM Salar also holds Mining Exploitation Concessions that are in the process of being granted covering 4,300 hectares in areas near the Salar de Atacama.
In addition, as of December 31, 2024, SQM Salar held Mining Exploration Concessions covering approximately 2,900 hectares and has not applied for any additional Mining Exploration Concessions. Exploration rights are valid for a period of four years, after which we can (i) request a Mining Exploitation Concession for the land, (ii) request an extension of the Mining Exploration Concession for an additional four years or (iii) allow the concession to expire. Additionally, the current modifications to the Mining Code under Law 21,420 and others, modified the validity of the exploration concessions, which will be four years, allowing the validity to be extended for up to four more years for a single time if geological information is delivered as a result of the exploration or if an RCA has been obtained or an admissible project has been entered into the Environmental Impact Assessment System.
According to the terms of the SQM-Corfo Agreements, with respect to lithium production, the Chilean Commission on Nuclear Energy (CCHEN) established a total accumulated extraction limit set as amended by the Corfo Arbitration Agreement in January 2018, up to 349,553 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (1,860,670 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent), which is in addition to the approximately 64,816 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (345,015 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent) remaining from the originally authorized amount in the aggregate for all periods while the SQM-Corfo Agreements are in force. As of December 31, 2024, six years remain on the term of the SQM-Corfo Agreements. See “Item10.C. Material Contracts – SQM-Corfo Agreements”
The environmental permit Resolución de Calificación Ambiental (RCA No. 226/2006, issued on October 19th, 2006, by COREMA (Comisión Regional del Medio Ambiente or Regional Environmental Commission) authorizes SQM to extract brines via pumping wells from two areas in the western and southwestern portions of the areas defined in the SQM-Corfo Agreements. SQM refers to these brine extraction areas as AAE zones (Áreas Autorizadas para la Extracción or Authorized Areas of Extraction), and they are further divided based on the products historically generated in each sector: (i) The northern portion is denominated the AAE-SOP, where “SOP” signifies sulfato de potasio (potassium sulfate product), and it covers a surface area of 10,512 hectares which is equivalent to 29.27% of the total AAE area; (ii) the southern portion is referred to as AAE-MOP, where “MOP” indicates muriato de potasio (potassium chloride product), covering a surface area of 25,399 hectares that is equivalent to 70.73% of the total AAE area.
SQM routinely carries out exploration activities within the areas involved in the SQM-Corfo Agreements and authorized by the Environmental Permits. These are aimed at maintaining the amount of wells needed for production.
The water that SQM uses for its mineral production in the Salar de Atacama is obtained from wells located in the alluvial aquifer on the eastern edge of the Salar de Atacama, for which the company has rights to use groundwater as well as the corresponding environmental authorization (RCA No. 226/2006). As part of the voluntary sustainability commitment assumed by SQM in 2020, the Company aims to reduce its water consumption by up to 50% in 2028.
SQM’s operations are subject to certain risk factors that may affect the business, financial conditions, cash flow, or SQM’s operational results, such as: the potential inability to extend or renew mineral exploitation rights in the Salar de Atacama beyond the defined expiration date (December 31, 2030) in the SQM-Corfo Agreements; risks related to being a company based in Chile; potential political risks as well as changes to the Chilean Constitution and legislation may affect development plans, production levels, and costs; and risks related to financial markets.
Mount Holland Lithium Project, Australia
The Mount Holland project is a production stage integrated lithium project in Western Australia consisting of (i) an open pit mine and lithium concentrator operation, at Mount Holland, 100 kilometers southeast of Southern Cross, and (ii) a lithium hydroxide (LiOH) refinery located in the Town of Kwinana, 26.5 kilometers from the port of Fremantle, from where the LiOH will be shipped.
The project is an unincorporated joint venture in which SQM and Wesfarmers through a wholly owned subsidiary each holding 50% of the assets. The joint ventures is managed by Covalent, an entity equally owned (50/50) by SQM and Wesfarmers.
The project is accessed by land using the Parker Range Road and Marvel Loch-Forrestania road, which are an all-season gravel road. The Parker Range road is connected to the Great Eastern Highway which is a paved road with connectivity to

Southern Cross, Kalgoorlie and Perth. Also, the project has its own access by air using an airstrip and infrastructure in the southern part of the mine.
The Project comprises:
•An open pit mining operation aimed at extracting lithium ore from the Earl Grey lithium deposit at Mount Holland, approximately 100 kilometers south of Southern Cross in Western Australia and 500 kilometers east of Perth.
•A spodumene concentrator facility located at the Mount Holland site with a nominal production capacity of 383,000 metric tons per annum of dry spodumene concentrate at a grade of 5.5% Li2O.
•A refinery in development, located in the Kwinana industrial precinct approximately 45 kilometers south of Perth, with the capacity to produce 50,000 metric tons per annum of battery-grade lithium hydroxide product (LiOH) for export globally.
•The non-process infrastructure (NPI) required to support the Mount Holland and Kwinana sites including roads, buildings, accommodation and the provision of logistics and utilities.
The Mount Holland project is located in the Forrestania Greenstone Belt (FGB) of the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. Exploration by Kidman Resources Limited ("Kidman Resources") beginning in 2016 defined numerous occurrences of rare element pegmatites across the FGB, the most significant of which is the Earl Grey pegmatite group. On September 11, 2017, Kidman Resources and SQM entered into an asset sale agreement, and SQM acquired its interest in the tenements for a total investment of US$110 million. Pursuant to the asset sale agreement, the parties agreed to form an unincorporated joint venture to mine and process spodumene ore into spodumene concentrate or lithium hydroxide. The Mount Holland JV was established by the unincorporated joint venture agreement dated December 21, 2017, between SQM Australia and MH Gold, a then wholly owned subsidiary of Kidman Resources. Wesfarmers acquired Kidman Resources in 2019, which resulted in Wesfarmers taking over Kidman Resources’ interest in the Mount Holland JV on September 23, 2019.
SQM and Wesfarmers announced a positive investment decision in February 2021 following the completion of a feasibility study by Covalent. The project commenced mining activities in the first quarter of 2022, with first ore mined in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the concentrator finished construction and commenced ramp up of production in 2023. The refinery is in construction with an expected completion date during the first half of 2025.
The Mount Holland project is focused on the exploitation of the spodumene hosted lithium resource in the Earl Grey pegmatite group, which consists of a main tabular pegmatite body, flanked by numerous minor dykes at both its top and bottom. The pegmatite field covers an area of up to 1 x 2 square kilometers and has a thickness of up to 100 meters. The pegmatites become progressively narrower and branched to the south and east of the main pegmatite until the main body divides into several narrower dykes. Isolated host rock enclaves are sporadically found within the pegmatite body.
The pegmatites have an approximate strike of 210° to 220° and dip of 5° to 15° to the northwest. At their western margin, the pegmatites appear to be affected by gentle folding. The dip of the pegmatites is variable, with the pegmatite steepening from sub-horizontal in the south to 10° to 15° to the northwest north of the Earl Grey gold pit.
Lithium mineralization within the fresh pegmatite is zoned, and primarily controlled by the dominant mineralogy; spodumene and petalite dominated assemblages are more lithium-rich than altered (cookeite) and Li-absent assemblages. Lithium mineralization is depleted in weathered pegmatite.
Extensive exploration supports the characterization of the Earl Grey pegmatite and the Resource and Reserve estimation, comprising surface mapping and extensive exploration drilling. Early exploration and resource definition was predominantly carried out by Kidman Resources, beginning in 2016. Since 2020, Covalent has conducted additional diamond drilling for metallurgical sampling, grade control drilling campaigns and improvement definition of the orebody geometry in the proposed starter pit area.
Most of the exploration drill holes completed at Earl Grey have been drilled using standard reverse circulation ("RC") drilling techniques. Diamond drilling comprises boreholes with diameters of 47.6mm, 50.5mm, 63.5mm and 85mm, which are drilled for geological, metallurgical and geotechnical purposes. Drilling recoveries for RC drilling range from 70-90% in this geological/geomorphological setting. The recoveries for diamond drilling are in the order of 95-100%. Recoveries diminish where shear zones or other structural disturbances have been crossed. The orientation of the boreholes is at relatively sharp angles (less than 90º) and, therefore, the intersected length is not considered as a representation of the true thickness of the pegmatite; its real thickness is determined through geological models.

Resource drilling was initially conducted on broad exploration grids to determine the extent of mineralization. This was followed by a drill program on a 50m by 50m grid to support the resource estimate. Through the development of the project in 2020, the first stages of the open pit were defined, and the drilling program was designed for grade control based on higher density and geostatistical criteria, infilling to a nominal 25m x 25m grid. Grade control drilling and resource definition drilling continue to progress to the north and east of the starter pit area to increase local confidence in the short and medium term mining areas. This information supports the current definition of Resources and Reserves.
Facilities
The Mount Holland project is an integrated lithium project in Western Australia consisting of (i) an open-pit mine on the Earl Grey deposit (spodumene pegmatite) and a spodumene concentrator comprised of DMS and flotation circuits, 120 kilometers southeast of Southern Cross, and (ii) a lithium hydroxide (LiOH) refinery, located in the town of Kwinana, 26.5 kilometers from the Port of Fremantle, from where the battery-grade LiOH product will be shipped. The concentrator at Mt. Holland site has a nominal production capacity of 383,000 dry tons per annum concentrate at a grade of 5.5 per cent lithium oxide matching the refinery feed requirements. The refinery in Kwinana has the capacity to produce 50,000 tons per annum of battery-grade lithium hydroxide.
First ore from the pit was mined in 2022, and the concentrator started its commissioning in the third quarter of 2023. First concentrate production of both circuits was achieved in the last quarter of 2023, and the first spodumene concentrate shipment occurred in the first half of 2024. Construction of the concentrator was completed in December 2023, and construction of the refinery is underway in December 2024, with the goal of opening during 2025.

________________________________________________
(1)Earl Grey deposit, Mount Holland, Australia. The Mineral Reserves reported in the table correspond to 50% attributable to SQM. The tonnage and average grade of the Mineral Reserve have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and figures may not match due to rounding. Indicated in-situ resources have been converted to probable reserves. Measured in-situ resources have been converted to proven Mineral Reserves. Measured in-situ resources with an iron oxide grade greater than 2.5% are considered feed ore for the ore sorter and have been converted to probable mineral reserves. Mining dilution has been estimated using a regularized model, with block sizes of 5m x 5m x 5m, and an additional 1.5m edge dilution is considered. The Mineral Reserve has been limited to modeled blocks with at least 50% by volume of spodumene-bearing pegmatite. The metallurgical processes are designed for a maximum nominal feed of 2 Mtpa of ore. Spodumene concentrate recovery is estimated at 75% lithium oxide in predominantly spodumene mineralization and 0% for other mineralization types (petalite and mixed spodumene and petalite). The following costs were considered for the reserve evaluation: mining cost of US$5.82/t, process cost of US$44.67/t feed to the concentrator, general costs of US$8.95/t feed to the concentrator, and logistics costs of US$42.39/t concentrate. Mining dilution was set at 5% and recovery at 95%. Estimated costs in Australian dollars were converted to US dollars based on an exchange rate of AU$0.70:US$1.00. These economic parameters result in a Mineral Reserve cut-off grade of 0.5% lithium oxide, assuming a price of US$1,200 FOB Australia per ton of 6% lithium oxide concentrate at SQM's Bunbury warehouses. The price used is derived from the long-term forecast made by Benchmark Minerals in December 2024 and was used for the reserve estimate. It does not represent an opinion or consensus on future prices by any of the partners. GeoInnova Consultores are the Qualified Person responsible for Mineral Reserves, effective December 31, 2024.

subject to the opinion of a QP based on the quality and quantity of informing data for the estimate and consistency of geological units and grade distribution. Resources that are contained within the Mineral Reserve pit design may be excluded from Reserves due to an Inferred classification or where the mineralogical domain does not meet the criteria for plant recovery. These resources are disclosed separately from the Resources contained within the Mineral Reserve. There is reasonable expectation that Inferred Resources within the Mineral Reserve pit design may be converted to higher confidence materials with additional drilling and exploration effort. There is reasonable expectation that Mineral Resources that do not meet the mineralogical criteria for Mineral Reserves can be recovered using alternative processing methods. Mineral Resource tonnage and average contained grade were rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and figures may not match, due to rounding. The disclosed Resource corresponds only to Resources attributable to SQM. The resources have been reported as in-situ from a block model regularized to 5mN x 5mE x 5mRL and constrained to an optimized pit shell. Resource pit optimization and economics for derivation of cut-off grade include pricing of US$1300/t FOB Australia of 6% Li 2 O concentrate, US$5.82/t mining cost, US$44.67/t processing cost, US$8.95/t concentrator feed corporate overheads cost, US$42.39/t on concentrate logistics cost. Mining dilution was set at 5% and recovery at 95%. Royalty rates are 5%. The optimization considered concentrator recoveries of 75% for spodumene mineral domains, 55% for mixed spodumene and petalite mineral domains, and 35% for petalite mineral domains. Costs estimated in Australian Dollars were converted to US Dollars based on an exchange rate of 0.70US$:1.00AU$. The average price from 2026 to 2040 for 6.0% spodumene concentrate from the Benchmark Lithium Forecast Report Q4 2024 was applied for the determination of Mineral Resources. These economic parameters define a 0.50% Li 2 O cut-off grade for the spodumene and mixed domains and 0.78% Li 2 O for the petalite domain. Geoinnova Consultores are the Qualified Persons responsible for the Mineral Resource estimate, effective, December 31, 2024.
Total Mineral Resource tons increased by 30% from 95 metric tons reported as of December 31,2023 to 125.8 metric tons as of December 31, 2024. Depletion of the Mineral Resource was completed by interrogating the 2023 resource model against the end of year mine surface. There was 18 thousand tons of material depleted that was considered part of the 2023 exclusive mineral resource. The model update resulted in an increase of 12.3 metric tons of total Mineral Resources, and changes to reporting parameters (regularizing the model to 5x5x5, changes to mine economics, applying a 100m buffer to the TSF for pit optimization and a change in petalite processing recovery) resulted in an increase of 16.8 Mt to total Mineral Resources. The changes also resulted in a 13% decrease in the reported Li2O grade and a 13% total increase in total contained Li2O. Details of the updated Mineral Resource Estimated are presented in the Mount Holland Mine technical report summary.
The total Mineral Reserve tons increased by 2% from 83.8 metric tons reported at the end of 2023 fiscal year to 85.6 metric tons the end of fiscal year 2024. The changes in the Mineral Reserve were the result of depletion through mining including stockpiling of ore tons, re-estimation of the Mineral Resource block model, adjustments to the modelling of dilution to better align with mining practices, and inclusion of an ore sorting facility to process ore contaminated with waste rock at the orebody contacts. Depletion of the Mineral Reserve was completed through interrogating the current Reserve block model against the end of 2023 and end of 2024 surveyed mine surfaces. Ore stockpiling totaling 2.7 metric tons was added to the Reserve. The Mount Holland lithium project proven and probable Mineral Reserves attributable to SQM totaled 20.0 million metric tons and 22.3 million metric tons as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
The information presented in the tables above (Mount Holland project) has been validated by Geoinnova Consultores, a third-party firm comprising mining experts in accordance with Item 1302(b)(1) of Regulation S-K, served as the Qualified Persons and prepared the estimates of lithium mineral resources and reserves at the Mount Holland project, with an effective date of December 31, 2024. A copy of the QP’s most recent technical report summary with respect to the lithium mineral resource and reserve estimates at the Mount Holland Project, dated April 17, 2025, with an effective date of December 31, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 96.5 to this report.
Mining Rights
The Mount Holland lithium mine and concentrator operations are spread across three core mining tenements (M77/1065, M77/1066 and M77/1080), as well as exploration licenses, general purpose licenses and miscellaneous licenses (Project Tenements), covering an approximate area of 4,626 hectares.
The majority of the project properties are currently registered in equal parts to (i) MH Gold and Montague Resources Australia Pty Ltd, both ultimately owned by Wesfarmers, and (ii) SQM Australia, an affiliate of SQM. The project is a an unincorporated joint venture, in which SQM and Wesfarmers, through a wholly owned subsidiary each holding 50% of the assets. The joint venture is managed by Covalent, an entity equally owned (50/50) by SQM and Wesfarmers. Covalent is neither the registered holder nor the applicant of the project properties under the Mining Act of 1978 of WA (Mining Law).

Transportation and Storage Facilities
Product transportation is carried out by trucks that are operated by dedicated third parties through long-term contracts. SQM leases port and storage facilities for the transportation and management of finished products and consumable materials.
SQM's main centers for the production and storage of raw materials are the facilities in Nueva Victoria, Coya Sur and Salar de Atacama in Chile and Mount Holland in Australia. Other facilities include chemical plants for the finished products of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide at our Lithium Chemical Plant near the city of Antofagasta, Chile, the lithium hydroxide refinery in Western Australia (part of the Mount Holland project), and the Port of Tocopilla terminal in Chile, which is the principal facility for the storage and shipment of our bulk products and packaged potassium chloride (MOP), nitrates and lithium carbonate.
In Chile, the nitrate finished products are produced at our Coya Sur facilities and then transported via trucks to the Port of Tocopilla terminal where they are stored and shipped in bulk or packaged in polypropylene bags, polyethylene or polypropylene bags. The latter can also be transported and stored in an alternative port (Mejillones) for later shipment.
Potassium chloride is produced at our Salar de Atacama facilities and we transport it by truck, either to the Port of Tocopilla terminal, the Coya Sur facility or the alternative Port of Mejillones for its shipment. The product transported to Coya Sur is an intermediate product that is used as a raw material for the production of potassium nitrate. The product transported to the Port of Tocopilla or Mejillones is a final product that will be shipped or transported to the customer or affiliate. The nitrate raw material for the production of potassium nitrate in Coya Sur is currently produced at Nueva Victoria.
Lithium chloride solution, which contains a high concentration of boron, is produced at our Salar de Atacama facilities, and is transported to the lithium carbonate plant at our Lithium Chemical Plant area where the finished lithium carbonate is produced. Part of the lithium carbonate is provided to the adjacent lithium hydroxide plant where the finished lithium hydroxide is produced. These two products are packed in packaging of distinct characteristics such as polyethylene bags, multi-layer or polypropylene FIBC big bags, and stored within the same facilities in secured storerooms. The products are later consolidated into containers that are transported by trucks to a transit warehouse or directly to port terminals for their subsequent shipment. The port terminals used are currently suited to receive container ships and are situated in Antofagasta, Mejillones and Iquique. Lithium carbonate can also be transported in packaged format both to the Port of Tocopilla and to an alternative port (Mejillones) to be shipped in break bulk format.
Iodine obtained from the same caliche used for the production of nitrates, is processed, packaged and stored exclusively in the Pedro de Valdivia and Nueva Victoria facilities. The packaging used for iodine are drums and polypropylene FIBC big bags with an internal polyethylene bag and oxygen barrier, which are consolidated into containers and sent by truck to port terminals suited for their management, principally located in Antofagasta, Mejillones and Iquique. These products are sent to distinct markets by container ship or by truck to Santiago where iodine derivatives are produced in the Ajay-SQM Chile plants. Drums and maxibags can also be transported on flat ramps to an alternative port (Mejillones) to be shipped in break bulk format.
In Australia, spodumene concentrate production from the Mount Holland mine began in 2023. Until the full ramp-up of the lithium hydroxide refinery in Kwinana, the concentrate will be trucked to a storage facility in Bunbury, approximately 500 kilometers west of the Mount Holland mine. At Bunbury, the product is distributed to both JV partners SQM and Wesfarmers, for them to follow their individual shipment and commercialization plans. For the ground logistics from Mount Holland mine to Bunbury Port, bulk haulage operators are responsible to haul the spodumene concentrate via haul trucks on public road. The haulage operator has a certification awarded by Bureau Veritas for the provision of bulk haulage and warehouse services, transport of controlled waste dangerous goods, operation and maintenance of heavy vehicles in accordance with the requirements of the management system standards, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.
In Chile, we own and operate the port and storage facilities at the Port of Tocopilla terminal for the transportation and management of finished products and consumable materials. The Port of Tocopilla terminal facilities cover approximately 22 hectares and are located approximately 186 kilometers north of Antofagasta, approximately 124 kilometers west of María Elena and Coya Sur and 372 kilometers to the west of Salar de Atacama. Our affiliate, Servicios Integrales de Tránsitos y Transferencias S.A. (SIT), operates facilities for the shipment of products and the delivery of certain raw materials based on renewable concessions granted by Chilean regulatory authorities, provided that the facilities are used in accordance with the authorization granted and we pay an annual concession fee. The facilities include a truck weighing machine that confirms product entry into the port and transfers the product to distinct storage zones, a piezometer within

the shipping system to carry out bulk product loaded onto ships, a crane with a 40-ton capacity for the loading of sealed product onto ships and a nitrate mixing facility.
The storage facilities consist of a system of six silos, with a total storage capacity of 55,000 metric tons, and a mixed storage area of open and covered storehouses with a total storage capacity of approximately 250,000 metric tons. In addition, to fulfill future storage needs, we will continue to make investments in accordance with the investment plan outlined by management. The products are also put into bags at the Port of Tocopilla terminal facilities where the bagging capacity is established by two bag packaging machines, one for sacks and polypropylene FIBC big bags and one for FFS polyethylene. The products that are packaged in Tocopilla may be subsequently shipped at the same port or may also be consolidated into trucks or containers for its subsequent dispatch to clients by land or sea through containers from other ports, principally located in Antofagasta, Mejillones and Iquique.
For the transportation of bulk product, the transportation belt system extends across the coastline to deliver products directly to the hatches of bulk cargo ships. The nominal load capacity of this shipping system is 1,200 tons per hour. The transportation of packaged product is carried out utilizing the same bulk cargo ships using barges without motors located in the dock and loaded by a crane with a 40-ton capacity from the Port of Tocopilla terminal. Thereafter, they are towed and unloaded using ship cranes to the respective warehouses.
We normally contract bulk cargo ships to transfer the product from the Port of Tocopilla terminal to our hubs around the world or to clients directly, who, in certain instances, use their own contracted vessels for delivery.
Tocopilla processes related to the reception, handling, storage and shipment of bulk/packaged nitrates produced at Coya Sur are certified by the third-party organization TÜV-Rheinland under the quality standard ISO 9001:2015. The Port of Tocopilla has also Responsible Care, ISO 14000 and Ecoport certifications.
Computer System
We have a management information system (Enterprise resource planning or "ERP") that integrates and manages the company's administrative business and support processes: Finance, Accounting, Human Resources and Logistics (IT). The ERP and satellite systems are located in Chile. However, each subsidiary or commercial office has its own ERP which is then consolidated into the information system in Chile. In addition, we have industrial systems such as: plant operation, extraction and maintenance (OT) that are part of the operation.
The information system is mainly used for finance, accounting, human resources, supply and inventory tracking, billing, quality control, research activities and control of the production process and maintenance. The main data processing center is located in our offices in Santiago de Chile, Antofagasta and in our international subsidiaries, that are interconnected through the telecommunications network, data clouds and services.
The use of cloud technologies allows us to be compatible with new business processes and respond quickly and at low cost to the changing conditions of our business and the market.
To ensure the reliability of our client services, we have adopted an information security and cybersecurity framework based on international norms and standards. This information security framework is focused on the protection and safeguarding of critical business assets and requires a continuous work on raising the awareness among our users on the best uses of processes and technology.
Internal Controls
The preparation of mineral reserve and resource estimates is completed in accordance with our prescribed internal control procedures, which are designed specifically to ensure the reliability of such estimates presented herein. Annually, QPs and other employees review the estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the supporting documentation, and compliance with applicable internal controls. Such controls employ management systems, standardized procedures, workflow processes, multi-functional supervision and management approval, internal and external reviews, reconciliations, and data security covering record keeping, chain of custody and data storage.
The internal controls for reserve and resource estimates also cover exploration activities, sample preparation and analysis, data verification, processing, metallurgical testing, recovery estimation, mine design and sequencing, and reserve and resource evaluations, with environmental, social and regulatory considerations. The quality assurance and control protocols over the assaying of drill hole samples are performed by reputable commercial laboratories following certification and

accreditation programs established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or Australian National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).
The reserve and resource estimates have inherent risks due to data accuracy, uncertainty from geological interpretation, mine plan assumptions, uncontrolled rights for mineral and surface properties, environmental challenges, uncertainty for future market supply and demand, and changes in laws and regulations. Management and QPs are aware of those risks that might directly impact the assessment of mineral reserves and resources. The current mineral reserves and resources are estimated based on the best information available and are subject to re-assessment when conditions change. Refer to Item 4A. “Risk Factors” for discussion of risks associated with the estimates of our mineral reserves and resources.

5.A.Operating Results
Introduction
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain calculations (including percentages) that appear herein have been rounded.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and presented in U.S. dollars.
We operate as an independent corporation.
Overview of Our Results of Operations
We divide our operations into the following business lines:
•the production and sale of specialty plant nutrients;
•the production and sale of iodine and its derivatives;
•the production and sale of lithium and its derivatives;
•the production and sale of potassium, including potassium chloride and potassium sulfate;
•the production and sale of industrial chemicals, principally industrial nitrates and solar salts; and
•the purchase and sale of other commodity fertilizers for use primarily in Chile.
We sell our products through three primary channels: our own sales offices, a network of distributors and, in the case of our fertilizer products, through third-party distribution network in countries where its presence and commercial infrastructure are larger than ours. Similarly, in those markets where our presence is larger, both our specialty plant nutrients and third-party products are marketed through our offices.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations substantially depend on:
•trends in demand for and supply of our products, including global economic conditions, which impact prices and sales volumes;
•efficient operations of our facilities, particularly as some of them run at production capacity;

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates
We transact a significant portion of our business in U.S. dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate and is our functional and presentation currency for financial reporting purposes. A significant portion of our costs is related to the Chilean peso as most of our operations occur in Chile, and therefore an increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar affects our costs of production. Additionally, as an international company operating in Chile and several other countries, we transact a portion of our business and have assets and liabilities in Chilean pesos and other non-U.S. dollar currencies, such as the euro, the South African rand and the Mexican peso. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate of such currencies to the U.S. dollar may affect our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 24 to our consolidated financial statements.
We monitor and attempt to balance our non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities position, including through foreign exchange contracts and other hedging instruments, to minimize our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. As of December 31, 2024, for hedging purposes we had open contracts to buy U.S. dollars and sell Chinese yuan for approximately US$302.65 million (CNY2,198.7 million), to sell euros for approximately US$40.35 million (EUR37.31 million), and to sell South African rand for approximately US$28.92 million (ZAR 530.45 million), as well as forward exchange contracts to sell U.S. dollars and buy Chilean pesos for US$5.9 million (Ch$5,879.1 million). All the UF 9.5 million outstanding principal amount of bonds issued in the Chilean market were hedged with cross-currency swaps to the U.S. dollar for approximately US$401.01 million as of December 31, 2024.
In addition, we had open forward exchange contracts to buy U.S. dollars and sell Chilean pesos to hedge our time deposits in Chilean pesos for approximately US$15.4 million.

(1)Cost of sales includes the payment obligations under lease contract with Corfo, which includes quarterly lease payments based on product sales from leased mining properties and since 2018, annual contributions to research and development, to local communities, to the Antofagasta Regional Government and to the municipalities of San Pedro de Atacama, María Elena and Antofagasta. The expenses related to Corfo were US$397 million in 2024, US$1,868.9 million in 2023, and US$3,273.0 million in 2022.
(2)Income tax expenses for the year 2023 includes the net effect of the payment of the specific tax on mining activities in Chile applied to the extraction of lithium in the total amount of US$1,089.5 million. For prior years, such payments were accounted for as a non-current tax asset and did not impact the consolidated statement of income. See Notes 20.3 to the consolidated financial statements, “Item 3.D. Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Chile—The Chilean government could levy additional taxes on mining companies, which may include lithium exploitation companies, operating in Chile" and "Item 8.A.7 Legal Proceedings— Chilean Tax Litigation".
Results of Operations – 2024 compared to 2023
Revenues
Revenues decreased by (39.4)% to US$4,528.8 million in 2024 from US$7,467.5 million in 2023. The main factors that caused the decrease in revenues and variations in different product lines are described below.

Table of Contents
Lithium and Derivatives
Revenues from lithium and derivatives totaled US$2,241.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 56.7% compared to US$5,180.1 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Set forth below are sales volume data for the specified years:

(in Th. MT) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | % Change
Lithium and derivatives |  | 204.9 |  | 170.0 |  | 21%

Lithium sales in 2024 reached nearly 205 thousand metric tons of LCE, an increase of 21% compared to 2023. This volume includes close to 4,000 metric tons of LCE coming from Mount Holland. However, the increase in volume was not enough to offset the continuous decline in prices, a trend we have been observing since early 2023. As a result, our average realized price dropped by more than 64%, from US$30,467 per ton in 2023 to US$10,936 per ton in 2024.
Specialty Plant Nutrition
Revenues from our Specialty Plant Nutrition business line for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 totaled US$941.9 million, a slight increase when compared to US$913.9 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Set forth below are sales volume data for the specified years by product category in this product line:

(in Th. MT) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | % Change
Specialty Plant Nutrition Total Volumes | 982.9 |  | 840.2 |  | 17 | %
Sodium nitrate | 12.5 |  | 16.8 |  | (26) | %
Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Potassium Nitrate | 534.0 |  | 443.5 |  | 20 | %
Specialty Blends | 276.7 |  | 243.4 |  | 14 | %
Other specialty plant nutrients (*) | 159.7 |  | 136.5 |  | 17 | %

________________________________________________
*Includes trading of other specialty fertilizers.
In 2024, Specialty Plant Nutrition sales volumes grew by approximately 17% compared to the previous year, reaching nearly 983 thousand tons. However, our average realized price for the year decreased by around 12% compared to 2023, from US$1,088 per metric ton to US$958 per metric ton, resulting in moderate revenue growth for this business line, at approximately 3% year-over-year.
We estimate that the potassium nitrate market, excluding internal production and consumption in China, grew by 17%, returning to 2021 levels. For 2025, we anticipate market growth of around 4-5%, with prices remaining similar to those observed during the second half of 2024.
Iodine and Derivatives
Revenues from sales of iodine and derivatives during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled US$968.3 million, an increase of 8.5% compared to US$892.2 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Set forth below are sales volume data for the specified years:

(in Th. MT) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | % Change
Iodine and derivatives |  | 14.5 |  | 13.1 |  | 11 | %

In 2024, our sales volumes grew by 11%, achieving record-high sales volumes of more than 14.5 thousand metric tons of iodine, including its derivatives. We estimate that the market grew by 8% in 2024 compared to 2023. This growth was driven by increased demand across nearly all iodine applications, particularly in X-ray contrast media.
Throughout 2024, we observed quarter-over-quarter price increases, and we expect the average sales price in the first quarter of 2025 to be higher than in the fourth quarter of 2024, when our price reached US$69.7 per kilogram.

Potassium
Potassium revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled US$270.8 million, lower than revenues reported during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, which totaled US$279.1 million, representing a 3.0% decrease.

(in Th. MT) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | % Change
Potassium chloride |  | 695.0 |  | 543.1 |  | 28%

Potassium sales volumes grew by more than 28% in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by strong market demand in key regions such as Brazil, Europe, and India. We estimate that market demand reached approximately 72 million metric tons, supported by lower prices and increased supply from Belarus and Russia. Our potassium sales exceeded expectations due to higher-than-anticipated potassium sulfate sales from third parties.
Industrial Chemicals
Industrial chemicals revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 reached US$78.2 million, 55.4% lower than US$175.2 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Set forth below are sales volume data for the specified years by product category:

(in Th. MT) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | % Change
Industrial chemicals |  | 52.6 |  | 180.4 |  | (71)%

Industrial chemicals revenues during the fourth quarter of 2024 were lower compared to revenues reported for the same period last year, as a result of 71% decrease in sales volumes, which more than offset higher sales prices.
Other Products and Services
Revenues from sales of other commodity fertilizers and other income reached US$28.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, an increase compared to US$27.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, due to increased commercial activity driven by the recovery of the fertilizer industry market.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales amounted to US$3,201.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 27.1% compared to US$4,392.4 million for the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower payments to Corfo related to lower lithium prices under the formula for lease payment rate tight to lithium sales prices.
Lithium and Derivatives
Lithium and derivatives cost of sales decreased 43.6% to US$1,666.3 million in 2024 from US$2,955.7 million in 2023, primarily as a result of decreased average prices which impact cost of sales as described below.
Our costs of sales related to our lithium and derivatives business line fluctuate with our price of lithium under the SQM-Corfo Agreements. For technical and battery grade lithium carbonate, the following structure of progressive lease payment rates based on the final sale price applies:

Price US$/MT Li2CO3 |  | Lease payment rate
$0 - $4,000 |  | 6.8 | %
Over $4,000 - $5,000 |  | 8.0 | %
Over $5,000 - $6,000 |  | 10.0 | %

Over $12,000 |  | 40.0 | %

See Note 18.2 to our consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of lease payments made to Corfo for all periods presented.
Specialty Plant Nutrition
Specialty plant nutrition cost of sales increased 12.1% to US$775.2 million in 2024 from US$691.5 million in 2023, as a result of higher sales volumes in 2024 when compared to 2023. The average cost of sales in the specialty plant nutrition business line was US$789/MT in 2024, lower than US$823/MT in 2023. The sales volumes in the specialty plant nutrition business line were approximately 982,900 metric tons in 2024, an approximately 17% increase compared to approximately 840,200 metric tons in 2023.
Iodine and Derivatives
Iodine and derivatives cost of sales increased 25.1% to US$444.9 million in 2024 from US$355.7 million in 2023. The average cost of sales in the iodine and derivatives business line was US$30.7/kilogram in 2024, an increase of 12.6% from US$27.2/kilogram in 2023. The increase in average cost of sales in the iodine and derivative business line is mainly a result of increased production costs associated with the start-up of new mining operations at Pampa Blanca.
Potassium
Potassium cost of sales increased 7.6% to US$236.4 million in 2024 from US$219.6 million in 2023, as a result of increased sales volumes. The average cost of sales in the potassium business line of US$340/MT in 2024 approximately a 15.9% decrease when compared to US$$404//MT in 2023.
Our costs of sales related to our potassium business line fluctuate with our price of potassium under the SQM-Corfo Agreements. For potassium chloride, the following structure of progressive lease payment rates based on the final sale price applies:

Price US$/MT KCl |  | Lease payment rate
$0 - $300 |  | 3.0 | %
Over $300 - $400 |  | 7.0 | %
Over $400 - $500 |  | 10.0 | %
Over $500 - $600 |  | 15.0 | %
Over $600 |  | 20.0 | %

See Note 18.2 to our consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of lease payments made to Corfo for all periods presented.

Table of Contents
Industrial Chemicals
Industrial chemicals cost of sales decreased 66.4% to US$47.5 million in 2024 from US$141.4 million in 2023, as a result of lower sales volumes in the business line. The average cost of sales in the industrial chemicals business line was US$903/MT in 2024, an increase of 2.6% from US$783/MT in 2023
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 56.8% to US$1,327.1 million in 2024, which represented 29.3% of revenues, from US$3,075.1 million in 2023, which represented 41.2% of revenues. As discussed above, this decrease is attributable to the decrease in revenues as a result of lower prices of lithium and derivatives, specialty plant nutrients, industrial chemicals and potassium, offset by higher sales volumes of lithium and derivatives, iodine and derivatives, industrial chemicals and potassium.
Other Income
Other income decreased 20.7% to US$32.2 million in 2024, which represented 0.7% of revenues, from US$40.6 million in 2023, which represented 0.5% of revenues.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses totaled US$186.0 million (4.1% of revenues) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to US$175.8 million (2.4% of revenues) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased 12.1% to US$104.7 million in 2024, which represented 2.3% of revenues, from US$93.4 million in 2023, which represented 1.3% of revenues.
Other Gains (Losses)
Other losses were US$2.1 million in 2024, compared to losses of US$2.3 million in 2023.
Finance Income
Finance income decreased 15.6% to US$103.6 million in 2024, which represented 2.3% of revenues, from US$122.7 million in 2023, which represented 1.6% of revenues, due to higher interest rates earned on our investments and more cash available to invest.
Finance Costs
Financial costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 totaled US$197.5 million, compared to financial costs of US$138.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
Share of Profit of Associates and Joint Ventures accounted for using the Equity Method
Share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method increased 1,859.2% to US$11 million in 2024, which represented 0.24% of revenues, from US$0.6 million in 2023, which represented 0.01% of revenues.
Foreign Currency Exchange Differences
Losses from foreign currency exchange differences amounted to US$8.6 million in 2024, which represented 0.2% of revenues, compared with a loss of US$22.3 million in 2023, which represented 0.3% of revenues. A significant portion of

Table of Contents
our costs is related to the Chilean peso as most of our operations occur in Chile. Because the U.S. dollar is our functional currency, we are subject to currency fluctuations. We seek to mitigate this impact through an active hedging program.
Profit Before Taxes
Profit before taxes decreased by US$1,832.6 million or 65.3%, to US$974.4 million in 2024 from US$2,807.0 million in 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenues by US$2,938.7 million and an increase in administrative expenses by US$10.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales by US$1,190.8 million and an increase in net finance income (finance income less finance expenses) by US$78.2 million.
Income Tax Expense
The Company reported an income tax expense of US$282.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, lower than the income tax expense of US$1,876.8 million reported in for the year ended December 31, 2023. The income tax expense reported for the year 2023 was impacted by a one time charge described described in Note 20 of the Financial Statements.
Net income
The net income for the year decreased US$238.5 to a loss of US$691.8 million in 2024 from US$930.3 million in 2023, primarily due to lower average prices in all of our business lines except the iodine and derivative business line. Net income for the year 2023 considers in the income tax expense a net effect in the total amount of US$1,089.5 million related to the income tax expense adjustment of the specific tax on mining activity in Chile applied to lithium exploration. (See Note 20.3 to the consolidated financial statements, “Item 3.D. Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Chile—The Chilean government could levy additional taxes on mining companies, which may include lithium exploitation companies, operating in Chile" and "Item 8.A.7 Legal Proceedings— Chilean Tax Litigation").
Results of Operations – 2023 compared to 2022
For a discussion of the comparison of our results of operations for the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, see “Part I, Item 5.A. Operating Results—Results of Operations – 2023 compared to 2022” of our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC in April, 2024.
5.B.Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had US$2.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we had US$1,676 million of unused uncommitted working capital credit lines. Our Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.6x as of December 31, 2024. In January 2025 we repaid US$250 million of debt which reached maturity.
Shareholders’ equity increased to US$5,198.1 million as of December 31, 2024 from US$4,477.1 million as of December 31, 2023. Our ratio of total liabilities to total equity (including non-controlling interest) on a consolidated basis increased to 1.21 as of December 31, 2024 from 1.01 as of December 31, 2023.
We evaluate from time to time our cash requirements to fund capital expenditures, dividend payouts and increases in working capital, but we believe our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. As debt requirements also depend on the level of accounts receivable and inventories, we cannot accurately determine the amount of debt we will require nor are our requirements typically seasonal.
The table below shows our cash flows for 2024, 2023 and 2022:

(in millions of US$) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash flow from operating activities |  | 1,274.7 |  |  | (196.6) |  |  | 4,077.6 |
Net cash flow from (used in) financing activities |  | 282.4 |  | 66.3 |  | (2,003.0)

We operate a capital-intensive business that requires significant investments in revenue-generating assets. Our past growth strategies have included purchasing production facilities and equipment and the improvement and expansion of existing facilities. Funds for capital expenditures and working capital requirements have been obtained from net cash from operating activities, borrowing under credit facilities and issuing debt securities.
We believe that our capital expenditures for 2025 could reach approximately US$1.1 million focused on the maintenance of our production facilities in order to strengthen our ability to meet our production goals and to increase our production capacity, primarily related to lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide capacity expansions and nitrates and iodine capacity in Chile and development of our lithium projects in Australia and China. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Capital Expenditure Program.”
Our other major use of funds is for dividend distributions. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, we reported dividends paid of US$67.2 million and US$1.5 billion during 2024 and 2023, respectively. For a disclosure of our 2024 dividend policy and payments, see “Item 8.A.8. Dividend Policy.”
The proposed dividend policy for 2024 was announced at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2024.
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that would expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligations arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Our future cash position could be impacted by, among other things, an operational shutdown, unforeseen expenses, a decreased ability of our customers to pay us for products or services or lower average prices or sales volumes in our business lines, which could have an impact on our cash position and could lead to a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the UF-denominated local bonds, the amounts presented reflect the real U.S. dollar obligation as of December 31, 2024 not including the effects of the cross-currency swaps that hedge these bonds to the U.S. dollar and which had, as of December 31, 2024, a market value of US$15.4 million against SQM.
Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Projects
We spent approximately US$47.2 million on environmental, safety and health projects in 2024. This amount forms part of the capital expenditure program discussed above.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This Form 20-F makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures, namely Net Financial Debt, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. These non-IFRS financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
Net Financial Debt (NFD)
Net Financial Debt represents Other Current Financial Liabilities + Non-current Financial Liabilities - Cash and Cash Equivalent - Other Current Financial Assets - Other Non-current Hedging Assets. NFD is a financial metric used by management as a tool for assessing the Company's financial health and its ability to manage its debt obligations. When considering new investments or expansion opportunities, management may use NFD/Adjusted EBITDA ratios to assess the impact of additional debt on the company's overall financial position and its ability to generate sufficient earnings to cover debt obligations. NFD/Adjusted EBITDA ratios are also used in communications with stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, and analysts, to provide insight into the company's financial stability and its ability to generate earnings relative to its debt levels.

|  | For the year ended December 31,
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
(+) Other Current Financial Liabilities |  | 1,163.5 |  | 1,256.5 |  |  | 523.0 |
(+) Other non-current Financial Liabilities |  | 3,600.5 |  | 3,213.4 |  |  | 2,394.2 |
(-) Cash and Cash Equivalent |  | 1,377.9 |  | 1,041.4 |  |  | 2,655.2 |

(-) Other Non-current Hedging Assets |  | 3.0 |  | 16.0 |  |  | 22.6 |
Net Financial Debt |  | 2,303.7 |  | 2,086.7 |  |  | (722.0) |

EBITDA represents Profit for the Year + Depreciation and Amortization Expenses + Finance Costs + Income Tax and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA – Other income – Other gains (losses) - Share of Profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method + Other expenses by function + Net impairment gains on reversal (losses) of financial assets – Finance income – Currency differences. We have included EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance.
We believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of operating performance because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance and thus highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools. For example, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect (a) our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; and (d) tax payments or distributions to our parent to make payments with respect to taxes attributable to us that represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Although we consider the items excluded in the calculation of non-IFRS measures to be less relevant to evaluate our performance, some of these items may continue to take place and accordingly may reduce the cash available to us.
We believe that the presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures described above is appropriate. However, these non-IFRS measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Because of these limitations, we primarily rely on our results as reported in accordance with IFRS and use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

5.C.Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
One of the main objectives of our research and development team is to develop new processes and products in order to maximize the returns obtained from the resources that we exploit. Our research is performed by three different units, whose research covers topics, such as design, modeling and simulation of chemical processes for optimization of existing products or development of new products, physical-chemistry of concentrated brines, development of chemical analysis and measurement methodologies of physical properties of finished products, considering all the relevant processes in the production of our products.
Our research and development policy emphasizes the following: (i) optimizing current or developing new processes in order to decrease costs and improve product quality through the implementation of new technology, (ii) developing higher-margin products from current products through vertical integration or different product specifications, (iii) adding value to inventories and (iv) using renewable energy in our processes.
Our research and development activities have been instrumental in improving our production processes and developing new value-added products. As a result, new methods of extraction, crystallization and finishing products have been developed. Technological advances in recent years have enabled us to improve process efficiency for the nitrate, potassium and lithium operations, particularly in sustain recoveries from the ore resources with dynamic or complex behaviour, improve the physical quality of our prilled products and reduce dust emissions and caking by applying specially designed additives to our products handled in bulk. Our research and development efforts have also resulted in new, value-added markets for our products. One example is the use of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate as thermal storage in solar power plants.
Among the main projects worked on during 2024 in the SQM- Iodine-Plant Nutrition Division were:
•Water use efficiency: Development of a molecule that enhances water use efficiency, applied either directly or in combination with a line of soluble products.
•Nutrient use efficiency: A molecule that improves phosphorus absorption efficiency.

Table of Contents
•Use of iodine in agriculture: Development of the Ultrasoline line. Iodine is part of various plant proteins and activates multiple genes that trigger beneficial effects in plants, including increased yield, improved stress tolerance, enhanced earliness, root development, and more.
Among the main projects worked on during 2024 in the SQM Lithium Chile Division were:
Consolidation of information from 140 studies of new technologies and existing suppliers, scaling a total of 20 pilot tests. This information has allowed us to present the conceptual engineering design for Salar Futuro, including Direct Lithium Extraction, brine reinjection and gradual reduction of inland water use.
The engineering of these projects also includes significant improvements in lithium recovery at Salar de Atacama and the Lithium Chemical Plant in Antofagasta.
The Company has patented several production processes for nitrate, iodine and lithium products. These patents have been registered mainly in the United States of America, Chile and other countries, when necessary. The patents used in SQM's production processes are Chilean Patent No. 47,080 for iodine (production of spherical shaped granules for subliming products) and Japanese Patent No. 4,889,848 for nitrates (granular fertilizers).
During 2024, our research and development related expenditure totaled approximately US$8.7 million for the SQM Iodine -Plant Nutrition Division and US$19 million for the lithium-related divisions.
5.D.Trend Information
Our revenues decreased 39.4% to US$4,528.8 million in 2024 from US$7,467.5 million in 2023. Gross profit reached US$1,327.1 million (29.3% of revenues) in 2024, lower than US$3,075.1 million (41.2% of revenues) recorded in 2023. Profit attributable to controlling interests decreased to a loss of US$404.4 million in 2024 from US$2,012.7 million in 2023.
Revenues for lithium and derivatives totaled US$2,241.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 56.7% compared to US$5,180.1 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Lithium sales in 2024 reached nearly 205 thousand metric tons of LCE, an increase of 21% compared to 2023. This volume includes close to 4,000 metric tons of LCE coming from Mount Holland. However, the increase in volume was not enough to offset the continuous decline in prices, a trend we have been observing since early 2023. As a result, our average realized price dropped by more than 64%, from US$30,467 per ton in 2023 to US$10,936 per ton in 2024. In the fourth quarter, we achieved record-high quarterly sales, reaching approximately 58,000 metric tons of LCE, which includes our first sales of spodumene concentrate. For 2025, we expect an increase of approximately 15% in our sales volumes compared to 2024, including sales of around 10,000 metric tons of LCE from the Mount Holland operation. We also anticipate that the average realized price in 2025 should be lower than in 2024, with first quarter of 2025 prices slightly below those recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Revenues from sales of iodine and derivatives during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled US$968.3 million, an increase of 8.5% compared to US$892.2 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. In 2024, our sales volumes grew by 11%, achieving record-high sales volumes of more than 14.5 thousand metric tons of iodine, including its derivatives. We estimate that the market grew by 8% in 2024 compared to 2023. This growth was driven by increased demand across nearly all iodine applications, particularly in X-ray contrast media. Throughout 2024, we observed quarter-over-quarter price increases, and we expect the average sales price in the first quarter of 2025 to be higher than what was seen in the fourth quarter of 2024, when our price reached US$69.7 per kilogram. We anticipate these market conditions to persist throughout 2025, with prices remaining relatively stable, due to limited market supply. Overall, we expect market demand to stabilize, with market growth of approximately 2% in 2025 compared to 2024. Sales volumes are projected to remain in line with 2024 levels.
Revenues from our Specialty Plant Nutrition business line for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 totaled US$941.9 million, a slight increase when compared to US$913.9 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. In 2024, Specialty Plant Nutrition sales volumes grew by approximately 17% compared to the previous year, reaching nearly 983 thousand tons. However, our average realized price for the year decreased by around 12% compared to 2023, from US$1,088 per metric ton to US$958 per metric ton, resulting in moderate revenue growth for this business line, at approximately 3% year-over-year. We estimate that the potassium nitrate market, excluding internal production and consumption in China, grew by 17%, returning to 2021 levels. For 2025, we anticipate market growth of around 4-5%,

with prices remaining similar to those observed during the second half of 2024. Additionally, we expect an increase in our sales volumes, in line with or slightly exceeding market growth.
Potassium revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, totaled US$270.8 million, lower than revenues reported during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, which totaled US$279.1 million, representing a 3.0% decrease. Potassium sales volumes grew by more than 28% in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by strong market demand in key regions such as Brazil, Europe, and India. We estimate that market demand reached approximately 72 million metric tons, supported by lower prices and increased supply from Belarus and Russia. Our potassium sales exceeded expectations due to higher-than-anticipated potassium sulfate sales from third parties. For 2025, we anticipate a significant reduction of approximately 50% in our potassium sales volumes due to lower production in the Salar de Atacama. This aligns with our plan to reduce brine extraction, prioritizing high-lithium-content brines. Additionally, by prioritizing potassium chloride production as a feedstock to increase potassium nitrate production in our SPN business line, there will be less potassium available for third-party sales, which will become a lower priority

At the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2024, shareholders approved the Board of Directors compensation for 2024, including the compensation for the Audit and Financial Risk Committee, Corporate Governance Committee and the Safety, Health and Environmental Committee.
During 2024, directors were paid a monthly retainer fee, which was independent of attendance and the number of Board sessions. For the Chairman and the Vice Chairman, the fee amounted to UF 800 and UF 700 per month respectively. For the remaining six directors, the fee amounted to UF 600 per month each. In addition, the directors received variable compensation (in Chilean pesos) based on a profit-sharing program approved by the shareholders. Both the Chairman and the Vice Chairman received the equivalent of 0.12% of the total net profit that the Company obtained during the 2024 fiscal year and each of the remaining six directors received the equivalent of 0.06% of the 2024 total net profit of the Company.
In addition, during 2024, members of the Directors’ Committee were each paid UF 200 per month, regardless of the number of sessions held by the Directors’ Committee. The members of the Directors’ Committee also received variable compensation (in Chilean pesos) based on a profit-sharing program approved by the shareholders. Also, each member of the Directors’ Committee received an amount equal to 0.02% of the total net profit that the Company obtained during the 2024 fiscal year.
For the calculation of the variable remuneration that the directors were entitled to receive, the pre-tax profit obtained by the Company during the 2024 fiscal year was considered with a maximum limit of 110% of the variable remuneration paid by the Company's directors for variable remuneration charged to the 2023 fiscal year.
During 2024, the members of the Safety, Health and Environmental and the Corporate Governance Committees each received UF 100 per month, regardless of the number of sessions held.

Directors’ Committee – Audit Committee
As required by Chilean Law, during 2024, we had a Directors’ Committee (Comité de Directores) composed of three Directors, which performs the functions of an audit committee. Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the audit committee of a U.S. company must perform the functions detailed in the NYSE Listed Company Manual Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07. Non-U.S. companies are required to comply with Rule 303A.06 but are not required to comply with Rule 303A.07.

Compensation Recovery Policy
In October 2022, the SEC adopted Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act, requiring national securities exchanges and national securities associations, such as NYSE, to require listed companies to adopt a written compensation recovery (clawback) policy providing for the recovery, in the event of a required accounting restatement, of incentive-based compensation received by the Chief Executive Officer and certain other “executive officers” as defined in Rule 10D-1(d) under the Exchange Act. The amendment to NYSE’s listing rules became effective on October 2, 2023, and issuers like SQM listed on NYSE were required to adopt SEC-compliant clawback policies by December 1, 2023.
On October 18, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted SQM’s compensation recovery policy, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 97 to this Form 20-F. The compensation recovery policy complies with the requirements of Section 303A.14 of the NYSE listing rules implementing SEC Rule 10D-1.

Table of Contents
Under our compensation recovery policy, in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to (i) material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in a previously issued financial statement that is material to such previously issued financial statement, or (ii) an error not material to a previously issued financial statement, but that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period financial statements or left uncorrected in the current period financial statements, we are entitled to recover a portion or all of any incentive-based compensation provided to certain current or former executive officers (including the CEO, the CFO and the principal accounting officer), who, during a three-year period preceding the date on which an accounting restatement is required, received incentive compensation based on the erroneous financial data that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation the executive officer would have received based on the restatement. The Directors’ Committee administers our compensation recovery policy and has discretion, in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations, to determine how to seek recovery under the policy and may forego recovery if it determines that recovery would be impracticable.

6.D.Employees
As of December 31, 2024, we had 8,344 permanent employees, 1,086 of whom were employed outside of Chile. The average tenure of our permanent employees is approximately 6 years.

| As of December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Employees in Chile | 7,258 |  | 7,034 |  | 6,533
Employees outside of Chile | 1,086 |  | 648 |  | 464
Total employees | 8,344 |  | 7,682 |  | 6,997

Almost 87% of our employees are employed in Chile, of which approximately 76.5% were represented by 22 labor unions as of December 31, 2024. In 2024, collective agreements were renewed with 14 unions, 12 of which belong to the SQM-Iodine- Plant Nutrition Division and 2 to the Lithium division. The terms of these agreements currently in effect are three years, with their expiration dates varying from one agreement to another. Under these agreements, employees receive a salary according to a scale that depends upon job function. Unionized employees also receive certain benefits provided by law and certain benefits provided under the applicable collective bargaining agreement, which vary depending upon the terms of the collective agreement, such as scholarships, holiday bonuses and additional health, death and disability benefits, among others.
In addition, we own all of the equity of Institución de Salud Previsional Norte Grande Limitada (“Isapre Norte Grande”), which is a health care organization that provides medical services primarily to our employees, and of Sociedad Prestadora de Servicios de Salud Cruz de Norte S.A. (“Prestadora”), which is a hospital in María Elena. We make contributions to Isapre Norte Grande and to Prestadora in accordance with Chilean laws and the provisions of our various collective bargaining agreements, but we are not otherwise responsible for their liabilities.
Non-unionized employees receive individually negotiated salaries, benefits provided for by law and certain additional benefits which we provide.
We provide housing and other facilities and services for employees and their families at the María Elena site.
We do not maintain any pension or retirement programs for our Chilean employees. Most workers in Chile are subject to a national pension law, adopted in 1980, which establishes a system of independent pension plans that are administered by the corresponding Pension Fund Administrator (Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones). We have no liability for the performance of any of these pension plans or any pension payments to be made to our employees. We do, however, sponsor staff severance indemnities plans for our employees and employees of our Chilean subsidiaries whereby we commit to provide a lump sum payment to each employee at the end of his/her employment, whether due to death, termination, or resignation.
We are exposed to labor strikes and illegal work stoppages by both our own employees and our independent contractors’ employees that could impact our production levels in both our own plants and our independent contractors’ plants. If a strike or illegal work stoppage occurs and continues for a sustained period of time, we could be faced with increased costs and even disruption in our product flow that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•The directors nominated by Tianqi will not disclose Sensitive Information of SQM;
•The directors nominated by Tianqi will personally bind themselves to the obligations assumed by Tianqi with the FNE; and
•Tianqi will report to the FNE the appointments and periodic compliance with its obligations.
The restrictions will remain in place for a period of six years.
During the approval process for the Extrajudicial Agreement before the FNE, the Company expressed its concerns to the Chilean Antitrust Court regarding the measures contained in the Extrajudicial Agreement, including that (i) it could not effectively resolve the risks that Tianqi and the FNE sought to mitigate, (ii) the restrictions are not correctly oriented to avoid the access to Sensitive Information that, in the possession of a competitor, could damage the Company and the proper functioning of the market and (iii) it could contradict the Chilean Corporations Act. The Extrajudicial Agreement was approved in October 2018 by the Chilean Antitrust Court. A copy of the Extrajudicial Agreement, in Spanish, has been made publicly available on the Company’s website at www.sqm.com and is also available on the FNE’s website at http://www.fne.gob.cl
In light of the Company’s concerns regarding the limitations of the Extrajudicial Agreement measures, the Company’s Board of Directors deemed it necessary to adopt measures aimed at achieving the purpose of the Extrajudicial Agreement, avoiding greater points of contact between Sensitive Information and Tianqi, to complement the Extrajudicial Agreement and adopted a protocol for the presentation and use of Sensitive Information (as defined in the Extrajudicial Agreement) on September 30, 2019. See “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Board Protocol for Presentation and Use of Sensitive Information” below.
Approximately 1,109 record holders were in Chile as of March 31, 2025.

Series A and Series B common shares have the same economic rights (i.e., both series are entitled to share equally in any dividends declared on the outstanding stock) and voting rights at any shareholders’ meeting, whether ordinary or extraordinary, with the exception of the election of the Board, in which the Series A shareholders elect seven members and the Series B shareholders elect one member.
Additionally, Series B common shares cannot exceed 50% of SQM’s issued, subscribed and paid shares; shareholders of at least 5% of this Series may call an Ordinary or Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting; and the director elected by this Series may request an extraordinary Board meeting without the authorization of the Chairman of the Board. These conditions will remain in effect until 2043. Under our By-laws, the maximum individual voting power personally and/or in representation of other shareholders per Series is limited to 37.5% of the subscribed shares of each Series with voting rights and 32% of the total subscribed shares with voting rights, with any excess being deducted from the number of shares such shareholder may vote. To calculate these percentages, shares that belong to the voting shareholder’s related persons must be added. In addition, the director elected by the Series B shareholders cannot vote in the election of the Chairman of the Board if a tie vote has occurred in the prior voting process.
As of April 23, 2025, there were 142,818,904 Series A common shares and 142,818,904 Series B common shares outstanding.
7.B.Related Party Transactions
Title XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act regulates transactions with related parties for publicly held corporations and its related parties.
Articles 146 to 149 of the Chilean Corporations Act requires that our transactions with related parties (i) have as their purpose to contribute to SQM’s interests (ii) be on price, terms and conditions similar to those customarily prevailing in the market at the time of their approval and (iii) satisfy the requirements and procedures established by the Chilean Corporations Act. Violation of such articles may also result in administrative or criminal sanctions and civil liability may be sought by SQM, shareholders or interested third parties that suffer losses as a result of such violations.
In addition, article 89 of the Chilean Corporations Act requires that transactions between affiliates, subsidiaries or related parties of a closed-stock company, such as some of SQM’s main affiliates and subsidiaries, shall also be on terms similar to those customarily prevailing in the market. Directors and executive officers of companies that violate article 89 are liable for losses resulting from such violations.
With respect to SQM, transactions with related parties include negotiations, proceedings, contracts or transactions involving SQM and its directors, managers and officers, and their spouses and relatives, and other companies and persons connected to the abovementioned parties or mentioned in the By-laws or by the Directors’ Committee. Such transactions may only be carried out if (i) their objective is to contribute to SQM’s interests and if their price, terms and conditions conform to prevailing market prices, terms and conditions at the time of their approval and (ii) they satisfy the requirements and procedures established by the Chilean Corporations Act. Such requirements include, among others:
•that the transaction be informed to the Directors’ Committee and to the Board of Directors prior to its execution;
•that the Board of Directors, excluding any Directors involved in the transaction, approves the transaction with an absolute majority of its members, or, if an absolute majority is not feasible, with a unanimous vote by the Directors not involved in the transaction, or, if neither of these options is available, that an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting be held and that shareholders representing 2/3 of the outstanding shares with voting rights approve the transaction. In the latter case, prior to the meeting, the shareholders must be provided with a report by an independent evaluator and with statements by the directors as to whether or not such transaction is in SQM’s interest;
•that the grounds for the decision and for the exclusion be recorded in the respective minutes of the Board meeting; and
•that the agreement and the names of the directors who approved the same be reported at the next shareholders’ meeting. Infractions will not affect the validity of the transaction but they will grant SQM or its shareholders the right to demand that the related party committing such infraction refund the amount equivalent to the benefits received by such party in the transaction to SQM, and that such party indemnify for any corresponding damages.
However, the Board of Directors has authorized the following transactions with related parties to be carried out without following such requirements and procedures, as long as such authorization is obtained in advance: (a) transactions wherein
107

Table of Contents
the amount of the transaction is not significant or (b) transactions that, according to the Policy on Customary Transactions with Related Parties, are considered normal based on SQM’s business activities or (c) transactions carried out between legal entities wherein SQM holds at least a 95% ownership interest in the counterpart.
Accounts receivable from and payable to related companies are stated in U.S. dollars and accrue no interest. Other than the above, transactions are made under terms and conditions that are similar to those offered to unrelated third parties. We further believe that we could obtain from third parties all raw materials now being provided by related parties that are not our affiliates. The provision of such raw materials by new suppliers could initially entail additional expenses.
In each case, terms and conditions vary depending on the transaction pursuant to which it was generated.
In March 2022, the Company adopted a Conflict of Interest Policy which is applicable to all directors, executives and employees of the Company. Under the policy, conflicts of interest may arise where there are family relationships, ownership relationships, management relationships or other situations where the director, executive or employee’s impartiality may be diminished or whose decisions may be contrary to the duty of probity that governs their actions. The policy provides procedure for the resolution of the conflict of interest. For directors, the procedures involve the Company’s compliance officer agreeing with the Directors’ Committee to propose a resolution for approval by the Board of Directors. In the event that a director has an interest or participates in a transaction with related parties that constitutes a conflict of interest under the policy, the related party transaction procedures under the Chilean Corporations Act described above would apply in lieu of the policy. Directors are required to present a declaration of conflict of interest within a month following their appointment as a director and each time a new conflict of interest not previously declared is identified.
In November 2024, the Board of Directors amended the Policy on Customary Transactions with Related Parties.
The Company regularly enters into business arrangements with related parties, principally its joint ventures and associates, which are described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

8.A.7 Legal Proceedings
Chilean Tax Litigation
The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (SII) has sought to extend the specific tax on mining activities to lithium mining, which cannot be concessioned under the legal system. As of December 31, 2023, SQM had paid a total of US$986.3 for specific tax on mining activities applied to lithium related to tax years 2012 to 2023 (financial years 2011 to 2022). SQM Salar has filed seven tax claims against the SII. The amount paid included US$59.5 million in over-assessed amounts, US$818.0 million in disputed taxes (net of the corporate income tax impact), and US$108.8 million in interest and penalties. On April 5, 2024, the Santiago Court of Appeals issued a ruling on one of the tax claims, case No. 312-2022, overturning the ruling previously issued by the Santiago Metropolitan Region Tax and Customs Court, which had upheld SQM Salar’s action for annulment on public law grounds regarding tax assessments for tax years 2017 and 2018. Although this ruling by the Santiago Court of Appeals does not affect the other claims filed by SQM Salar against the SII and is still subject to appeal by SQM Salar, it prompted a review of the accounting treatment of the tax claims by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company recognized a tax expense of US$1,106.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 (US$926.7 million for financial years 2011 to 2022, US$162.8 million for the financial year 2023, and US$16.7 million for financial year 2024). This expense reflects the potential impact of the Santiago Court of Appeals ruling on the tax claims. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-current tax receivables of US$59.5 million.
Association with Codelco
On July 26, 2024, Inversiones TLC SpA, a subsidiary of Tianqi, filed an appeal of illegality before the Court of Appeals of Santiago against the ordinary ruling No. 74.987 issued on June 18, 2024 by the CMF, which determined that the association between SQM and Codelco, reported as an material event on May 31, 2024, does not require approval by the Company's extraordinary shareholders' meeting. The Company became a party to these proceedings on August 1, 2024. The proceeding is awaiting pleadings before the Court of Appeals of Santiago, a court that on various occasions has decided not to grant Tianqi's requests to suspend the effects of the association.
Request for Information and Subpoena
The Company is required to be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in Chile and internationally with respect to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other regulatory matters, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The Company has received a request for information and subpoena from the SEC requesting information related to our business operations, compliance program, and allegations of potential violations of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws. The SEC has said that the investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry and we are not aware that any conclusion has been reached by the SEC. Management has undertaken an internal review to identify information to respond to the SEC's request thus actively cooperating in the review.
Other Matters
In addition, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, other than those specifically disclosed above, have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company, relating to the conduct of the company’s business, including those pertaining to mining, civil, tort, commercial, labor and regulatory matters, among others. Although the outcome of other litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, our management believes the disposition of such other pending matters will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
8.A.8.Dividend Policy
As required by Chilean law and regulations, our dividend policy is decided upon from time to time by our Board of Directors and is announced at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, which is generally held in April of each year. Shareholder approval of the dividend policy is not required. However, each year the Board must submit the declaration of the final dividend or dividends in respect of the preceding year, consistent with the then-established dividend policy, to the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting for approval. As required by the Chilean Corporations Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the holders of issued shares, we must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our consolidated net income for that year (determined in accordance with CMF regulations), unless and to the extent the Company has a deficit in retained earnings.

Table of Contents
On March 28, 2024, the Board of Directors, agreed to recommend to the shareholders the payment of a final dividend for 2023. The dividend payment was presented for consideration and approved at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2024. The amount of the final dividend approved by shareholders was US$2.11386 per share; the amounts paid as interim dividends were deducted from this amount; the balance, in the amount of US$0.21339 per share, was paid and distributed to Company’s shareholders on May 16, 2024.
SQM’s dividend policy for 2024 reported at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2024, included the following:
(a)Distribute and pay, as a final dividend (dividendo definitiv o) to the corresponding shareholders, a percentage of the net income equal to 30% of the 2024 net income 1:
(b)Without prejudice to the foregoing, the percentage indicated in letter (a) above may be increased to the extent that the Company's board of directors deems that said increase does not materially and negatively affect the Company's ability to make its investments and to meet estimated future cash requirements, considering, among others, the following financial parameters:
(i)60% of the 2024 net income, when the following financial parameters are met: (a) that the “total current assets”, divided by the “the total current liabilities”, both net of the respective dividend amount, is equal to or greater than 1.5 times, and (b) the sum of the “total current liabilities” and “total non-current liabilities”, excluding both “cash and cash equivalents” and “other current financial assets”, divided by the “total equity” is equal to or less than 1.0 times.
(ii)80% of the 2024 net income, when the following financial parameters are met: (a) that the “total current assets”, divided by the “total current liabilities”, both net of the respective dividend amount, is equal to or greater than 2.0 times, and (b) the sum of the “total current liabilities” and “total non-current liabilities”, excluding both “cash and cash equivalents” and “other current financial assets”, divided by the “total equity” is equal to or less than 0.9 times.
(iii)100% of the 2024 net income, when the following financial parameters are met: (a) that the “total current assets”, divided by the “total current liabilities”, both net of the respective dividend amount, is equal to or greater than 2.5 times, and (b) the sum of the “total current liabilities” and “total non-current liabilities”, excluding both “cash and cash equivalents” and “other current financial assets”, divided by the “total equity” is equal to or less than 0.8 times.
(c)Distribute and pay, if possible and subject to previously mentioned considerations, during 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, interim dividends (dividendos provisorios) that will be charged against the aforementioned final dividend.
(d)At the annual general shareholders’ meeting that will be held in 2025, the Board of Directors shall propose a final dividend discounting the total amount of the interim dividends previously distributed, considering that this does not materially and negatively affect the Company's ability to make its investments, comply with its obligations, and in general, to comply with the investment and financing policies approved by the shareholders at the annual general shareholders’ meeting.
(e)If there is an excess of net income in 2024, this may be retained and assigned or allocated for financing its own operations, to one or more investment projects of the Company, notwithstanding a possible distribution of special dividends (dividendos eventuales) charged to the retained earnings and approved at the shareholders’ meeting, or the possible and future capitalization of all or part of the latter.
(f)The payment of additional dividends (dividendos adicionales) is not considered.
It is expressly stated that the dividend policy described above corresponds to the intention of the Board of Directors, and the compliance of it shall depend on the net income that the Company ultimately obtains, as well as the results of projections that could periodically impact the Company, or to the existence of determined conditions that may affect it, as applicable. If the dividend policy proposed by the Board of Directors suffers a substantial change, the Company must communicate it as an essential fact (hecho esencial).

Table of Contents
We generally declare dividends in U.S. dollars (but may declare dividends in Chilean pesos) and pay such dividends in Chilean pesos. When a dividend is declared in U.S. dollars, the exchange rate to be used to convert the dividend into Chilean pesos is decided by the shareholders at the meeting that approves the dividend, which has usually been the Observed Exchange Rate on the date the dividend is declared. In the case of interim dividends, the exchange rate to be used is the Observed Exchange Rate published a minimum of three business days before the payment date.
Holders of ADRs generally have the right to receive dividends and other distributions we make on Series B common shares held by the ADR custodian under the terms of the deposit agreement in proportion to the number of ADRs held as of the specified record date, after deduction of the applicable fees, taxes and expenses. Receipt of these dividends and distributions may be limited by practical considerations and legal limitations, which may delay the payment and receipt of dividends and distributions by ADR holders.
The depositary will, as promptly as practicable, convert all cash dividends and other cash distributions received by the depositary or the custodian in respect of the deposited Series B common shares into U.S. dollars and, as promptly as practicable, distribute the amount thus received (net of any fees of the depositary) to the holders of ADRs in proportion to the number of ADRs representing such Series B Shares held by each of them. The amount distributed also will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by SQM, the depositary or the custodian on account of taxes and the depositary’s foreign currency conversion expenses.
The amount and timing for payment of dividends is subject to revision from time to time, depending upon our then current level of sales, costs, cash flow and capital requirements, as well as market conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of declaration or payment of dividends in the future. Any change in dividend policy would ordinarily be effective for dividends declared in the year following adoption of the change, and a notice as to any such change of policy must be filed with Chilean regulatory authorities and would be publicly available information.
Dividends
Each Series A common share and Series B common share is entitled to share equally in any dividends declared on the outstanding capital stock of SQM.

Dividends payable to holders of ADRs will be paid net of conversion expenses of the depositary and will be subject to Chilean withholding tax, currently imposed at the rate of 35% (subject to credits in certain cases).
As a general requirement, a shareholder who is not a resident of Chile must register as a foreign investor under one of the foreign investment regimes contemplated by Chilean law to have dividends, sale proceeds or other amounts with respect to its shares remitted outside Chile through the Formal Exchange Market. Under the Foreign Investment Contract, the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, will be granted access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert cash dividends from Chilean Pesos to U.S. dollars and to pay such U.S. dollars to ADR holders outside Chile net of taxes, and no separate registration of ADR holders is required.

Table of Contents
Investment and Financing Policies approved by the applicable General Shareholders Meeting. We may comply with the foregoing by acting ourselves or through or with other different legal entities or natural persons, within the country or abroad, with properties of our own or owned by third parties, and additionally, in the ways and territories, and with the aforementioned properties and purposes, we may also construct and operate industrial or agricultural facilities or installations; constitute, administer, purchase, transfer ownership, dissolve, liquidate, transform, modify, or form part of partnerships, institutions, foundations, corporations, or associations of any kind or nature; perform all actions, enter into all contracts, and incur in all obligations convenient or necessary for the foregoing; perform any business or activity related to our properties, assets, or patrimony, or with that of our affiliates, associated companies, or related companies; and render financial, commercial, technical, legal, auditing, administrative, advisory, and other pertinent services.
Directors
As stated in article 9 of the Company’s By-laws, the Company has eight Directors. One of the directors must be “independent” as such term is defined in article 50 bis of the Chilean Corporations Act. Moreover, the possession of shares is not a condition necessary to become a director of the Company.
As stated in article 10 of the Company’s By-laws, the term of the directors is of three years and they can be reelected indefinitely; thus, there is no age limit for their retirement.
The Company’s By-laws, in articles 16 and 16 bis, essentially establish that the transactions in which a director has a material interest must comply with the provisions set forth in articles 136 and 146 to 149 of the Chilean Corporations Act and the applicable regulations of the Chilean Corporations Act.
The Board of Directors duties are remunerated, as stated in article 17 of the Company’s By-laws, and the amount of that compensation is fixed yearly by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting. Therefore, directors can neither determine nor modify their compensation.
Directors cannot authorize Company loans on their behalf.
The Board of Directors must provide shareholders and the public with sufficient, reliable and timely information pertaining to the Company’s legal, economic and financial situation, as required by the Law or the CMF. The Board of Directors must adopt the appropriate measures in order to avoid the disclosure of such information to persons other than those persons who should possess such information as a result of their title, position or activity within the Company before such information is disclosed to shareholders and the public. The Board of Directors must treat business dealings and other information about the Company as confidential until such information is officially disclosed. No Director may take advantage of the knowledge about commercial opportunities that he has obtained through his position as Director.
Independent Directors and Directors Committee
According to Chilean Law, SQM must appoint at least one Independent Director and a Directors’ Committee, due to the fact that (a) the Company has a market capitalization greater than or equal to UF 1,500,000 and (b) at least 12.5% of the Company’s shares with voting rights are held by shareholders who, on an individual basis, control or possess less than 10% of such shares.
Persons who have not been involved in any of the circumstances described in the Law at any time during the preceding 18 months are considered independent. Candidates for the position of Independent Director must be proposed by shareholders representing 1% or more of the Company’s shares, at least 10 days prior to the date of the shareholders’ meeting that has been called in order to elect the Directors. No less than two days prior to the respective shareholders’ meeting, the candidate must provide the Chief Executive Officer with a sworn statement indicating that he: (a) accepts his candidacy for the position of Independent Director; (b) does not meet any of the conditions that would prevent him from being the Independent Director; (c) is not related to the Company, the other companies of the group to which the Company belongs, the controller of the Company, or any of the Company’s officers in such a way that would deprive a sensible person of a reasonable degree of autonomy, interfere with his ability to perform his duties objectively and effectively, generate a potential conflict of interest, or interfere with his independent judgment; and (d) assumes the commitment to remain independent as long as he holds the position of Director.
The Directors’ Committee shall have the following powers and duties: (a) to examine the reports of the external auditors, the balance sheet and other financial statements presented by the Company’s managers or liquidators to its shareholders
114

Table of Contents
and issue an opinion about the same prior to their submission for the approval of the shareholders; (b) to propose to the Board of Directors the external auditors and risk rating agencies to be proposed to the shareholders at the respective shareholders’ meeting. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the Board of Directors shall formulate its own suggestion, and both options shall be submitted for shareholder consideration at such shareholders’ meeting; (c) to examine the information relating to operations referred to in articles 146 to 149 of the Chilean Corporations Act and to prepare a report about such operations. A copy of such report shall be sent to the Board of Directors, and such report must be read at the Board Meeting called for the purpose of approving or rejecting the respective operation or operations; (d) to examine the remuneration system and compensation plans for the Company’s management, officers and employees; (e) to prepare an annual report on its activities, including its main recommendations to the shareholders; (f) to inform the Board of Directors about whether or not it is advisable to hire the external audit firm to provide non-audit services where the audit firm is not prohibited from providing such services because the nature of the same could pose a threat to the audit firm’s independence; and (g) any other issues indicated in the Company’s By-laws or authorized by a shareholders’ meeting or the Board of Directors.
The Directors’ Committee shall be comprised of three members, with at least one independent member. In the event that more than three Directors have the right to form part of the Committee, these same Directors shall unanimously determine who shall make up the Committee. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the Directors who were elected with a greater percentage of votes by shareholders controlling or possessing less than 10% of the Company’s shares shall be given priority. If there is only one Independent Director, this Director shall name the other members of the Committee among the other Directors who are not independent. Such other members of the Committee shall have all of the rights associated with such position. The members of the Committee shall be compensated for their role. The amount of their remuneration shall be set annually at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, and it may not be less than the remuneration set for the Company Directors, plus an additional 1/3 of that amount. The General Shareholders’ Meeting shall determine a budget for the expenses of the Committee and its advisors. Such budget may not be less than the sum of the annual remunerations of the Committee members. The Committee may need to hire professional advisory services in order to carry out its duties in accordance with the abovementioned budget. The proposals made by the Committee to the Board of Directors that are not accepted by the latter must be reported to the shareholders’ meeting prior to the vote by shareholders on the corresponding matter or matters. In addition to the responsibilities that are associated with the position of Director, the members of the Committee are jointly and severally liable for any damages they cause in performing their duties as such to the shareholders and to the Company.
Shares
Dividends are annually distributed to the Series A and Series B shareholders of record on the fifth business day prior to the date for payment of the dividends. The By-laws do not specify a time limit after which dividend entitlement lapses, but Chilean regulations establish that after five years, unclaimed dividends are to be donated to the fire department.
Article 5 of the Company’s By-laws establishes that Series B common shares may in no case exceed 50% of SQM’s issued, outstanding and paid stock. SQM Series B common shares have a restricted right to vote as they can only elect one director of the Company, regardless of their capital stock’s share. Series B common shares have the right to call for an Ordinary or Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting when the shareholders of at least 5% of the Series B common shares issued request so and for an Extraordinary Board of Directors Meeting without the Chairman’s authorization when it is requested by the director elected by the shareholders of the Series B common shares. Series A common shares have the option to exclude the director elected by Series B shareholders from the voting process in which the Chairman of the Board is to be elected, if there is a tie in the first voting process. However, subject to the second transitory article of the Company’s By-Laws, articles 31 and 31 bis of the Company’s By-laws establish that in General Shareholders’ Meetings each shareholder will have a right to one vote for each share he owns or represents and (a) that no shareholder will have the right to vote for himself or on behalf of other shareholders of the same Series A or Series B common shares representing more than 37.5% of the total outstanding shares with right to vote of each Series and (b) that no shareholder will have the right to vote for himself or on behalf of other shareholders representing more than 32% of the total outstanding shares with a right to vote, with any excess being deducted from the number of shares such shareholder may vote. In calculating a single shareholder’s ownership of Series A or B shares, the shareholder’s stock and those pertaining to third parties related to them are to be added.
The second transitory article provides as follows:
“Throughout the period running from the date of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting at which this transitory article is incorporated, and December 31, 2030, the restriction against voting on behalf of more than 37.5% of any series of shares in
115

Table of Contents
the Company, established in Article 31 hereof, shall be subject to the following exception, applicable only to the election of board members by means of Series A common shares in the Company: If two or more persons, regardless of whether or not they are related parties to each other (the incoming shareholders), act prior to December 31, 2030 such as to acquire a sufficient number of Series A common shares to allow them to hold voting powers for the selection of directors of the Company amounting to more than 37.5% of that series, then any registered shareholder or group of shareholders holding more than 37.5% of all Series A common shares in the Company shall be entitled to vote for the selection of directors of the Company amounting to whichever is less, between a number of the Series A common shares that are held (i) by existing shareholders as of that date, and (ii) by the incoming shareholders with voting rights. Similarly, if for any reason a registered shareholder in the Company as of the date hereof who holds more than 37.5% of Series A common shares in the company between the date hereof and December 31, 2030, comes to hold more voting shares for the selection of directors of the Company than the votes allocated for holding 37.5% of said Series A common shares, either through a joint action agreement with other shareholders, including existing shareholders, or by any other means, then any other shareholder or group of shareholders in the Company that is not a related party to the same and holds more than 37.5% of all voting Series A common shares in the Company, including both existing and incoming shareholders, shall be entitled to vote for the selection of directors of the Company in accordance with whichever number of Series A common shares in the Company is the lesser, between (i) the number held by this shareholder or group of shareholders, and (ii) the existing shareholder may have the capacity to vote in excess of the restriction amounting to 37.5% of said shares.”
Article 5 bis of the Company’s By-laws establishes that no person may directly or by means of related third persons concentrate more than 32% of the Company’s total shares with right to vote.
Each Series A share and Series B share is entitled to share equally in the Company’s profits, (i.e., they have the same rights on any dividends declared on the outstanding shares of SQM).
The Company By-laws do not contain any provision relating to (a) redemption provisions, (b) sinking funds or (c) liability to capital calls by the Company.
As established in article 103 of the Chilean Corporations Act, a company subject to the supervision of the CMF may be liquidated in the following cases:
(a)Expiration of the duration term, if any, as established in its By-laws;
(b)All the shares end up in the possession of one individual for more than ten continuous days;
(c)By agreement of an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting;
(d)By abolition, pursuant to applicable laws, of the decree that authorized its existence;
(e)Any other reason contemplated in its By-laws.
Article 40 of the Company’s By-laws states that in the event of liquidation, the shareholders’ meeting will appoint a three-member receiver committee that will have the authority to carry out the liquidation process. Any surplus will be distributed equally among the shareholders.
The only way to change the rights of the holders of the SQM shares is by modifying its By-laws, which can only be carried out by an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, as established in article 28 of the Company By-laws.
Shareholders’ Meetings
Article 29 of the Company’s By-laws states that the call to a shareholders’ meeting, either Ordinary or Extraordinary, will be by means of a highlighted public notice that will be published at least three times, and on different days, in the newspaper of the legal address determined by the shareholders’ meeting, and in the way and under the conditions indicated by the regulations. Additionally, a notice will be sent by mail to each shareholder at least fifteen days prior to the date of the Meeting, which shall include a reference of the matters to be addressed at the meeting. However, those meetings with the full attendance of the shares with right to vote may be legally held, even if the foregoing formal notice requirements are not met. Notice of any shareholders’ meeting shall be delivered to the CMF at least fifteen days in advance of such meeting.
Any holder of Series A and/or Series B common shares registered in the Company’s shareholder registry on the fifth business day prior to the date of the meeting will have a right to participate at that meeting Article 67 of the Chilean Corporations Act provides that decisions made at Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on the following matters require the approval of 2/3 of the outstanding shares with voting rights: (1) transformation or division of the Company and its merger
116

Table of Contents
with another company; (2) modification of the Company’s term of duration, if any; (3) early dissolution of the Company; (4) change of the corporate domicile; (5) capital decrease; (6) approval of contributions and estimation of non-cash assets; (7) modification of powers reserved for Shareholders Meetings or limitations on powers of the Board of Directors; (8) reduction in the number of members of the Board of Directors; (9) disposal of 50% or more of the Company’s assets; formulation or modification of any business plan exceeding the above percentage; disposal of 50% or more of an asset belonging to a subsidiary that represents at least 20% of the Company’s assets and disposal of shares of the referred subsidiary such that the parent company would lose its position as controller of the same; (10) method in which profits are distributed; (11) granting of real or personal guarantees as sureties for third-party obligations that exceed 50% of the Company assets, except for subsidiaries, in which case approval of the Board of Directors shall suffice; (12) acquisition of own shares as set forth in articles 27A and 27B of the said law; (13) other matters indicated in the By-laws; (14) amendment of the Company By-laws as a result of errors in the constitution process and amendments in the By-laws involving one or more of the matters stated in the preceding numbers; (15) forced sale of shares carried out by the controller who would acquire more than 95% of the Company’s shares in a tender offer, and (16) approval or ratification of proceedings or contracts with related parties in accordance with the provisions of articles 44 and 147 of the Chilean Corporations Act.
Amendments to the By-laws that are intended to create, modify, defer or suspend preferential rights shall be approved by 2/3 of the shares of the affected Series.
The transformation of the Company, the merger of the same, the disposal of assets referred to in number (9) above, the constitution of guarantees set forth in number (11) above, the constitution of preferences or the increase, postponement or decrease of the existing preferences, the reparation of formal nullities incurred in the By-laws and the possession of more than 95% of the Company’s shares and other matters contemplated in the Law or in the By-laws, confer “withdrawal rights.”
Shareholders Restrictions
There are no restrictions on ownership or share concentration, or limiting the exercise of the related right to vote, by local or foreign shareholders other than those discussed under “—Shares”
Change in Control
The Company By-laws provide that no shareholder may hold more than 32% of the Company’s shares, unless the By-laws are modified at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. Moreover, on December 12, 2000, the Chilean Government published the Ley de Oferta Pública de Acciones (“Public Share Offering Law” or “OPA law”) that seeks to protect the interests of minority shareholders of open stock corporations in transactions involving a change in control, by requiring that the potential new controller purchase the shares owned by the remaining shareholders either in total or pro rata. The law applies to those transactions in which the controlling party would receive a material premium price compared with the price that would be received by the minority shareholders.
There are three conditions that would make it mandatory to operate under the OPA law:
1)When an investor wants to take control of a company’s stock.
2)When a controlling shareholder holds two-thirds of the company’s stock. If such shareholder buys one more share, it will be mandatory to offer to acquire the rest of the outstanding stock within 30 days of surpassing that threshold.
3)When an investor wants to take control of a corporation, which, in turn, controls an open stock corporation that represents 75% or more of the consolidated assets of the former corporation.
Parties interested in taking control of a company must (i) notify the company of such intention in writing, and notify its controllers, the companies controlled by it, the CMF and the markets where its stocks are traded and (ii) publish a highlighted public notice in two newspapers of national circulation at least 10 business days prior to the date of materialization of the OPA.
Board Protocol for Presentation and Use of Sensitive Information
On December 5, 2018, Inversiones TLC SpA, a subsidiary of Tianqi, acquired 62,556,568 Series A common shares of the Company, representing approximately 23.77% of the total shares issued by SQM. In connection with the acquisition,
117

Table of Contents
Tianqi entered into and Extrajudicial Agreement with the FNE with respect to the implementation of certain measures to maintain competitive market conditions and mitigate any risks identified in the transaction, having as a fundamental principle the limitation of access to commercially sensitive information of SQM by Tianqi. For a description of the Extrajudicial Agreement, see “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders — Tianqi Extrajudicial Agreement with the FNE.” Before this acquisition, and after the approval of this transaction by the Chilean Antitrust Court, the Company’s Board of Directors deemed it necessary to adopt measures aimed at achieving the purpose of the Extrajudicial Agreement, avoiding greater points of contact between Sensitive Information and Tianqi, to complement the Extrajudicial Agreement. On January 23, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a protocol for the presentation and use of Sensitive Information (as defined in the Extrajudicial Agreement), which was amended on April 15, 2019 in response to comments received from the CMF. The amendment was subsequently approved by the Board on September 30, 2019.
10.C.Material Contracts
The Company, during the normal course of business, has entered into different contracts, some of which have been described herein, related to its production, commercial and legal operations. We believe all of these contracts are standard for this type of industry, and none of them is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.
SQM-Corfo Agreements
Our subsidiary SQM Salar holds exclusive rights until 2030, subject to the terms and conditions of the concession agreements, to exploit the mineral resources in an area covering approximately 140,000 hectares in the Salar de Atacama, 81,920 hectares of which SQM Salar is entitled to exploit pursuant to (i) a lease agreement over mining exploitation concessions among Corfo, SQM, SQM Salar and SQM Potasio S.A. (the “Corfo Lease Agreement”), originally entered into in 1993, and (ii) the associated Salar de Atacama project agreement among Corfo, SQM, SQM Salar and SQM Potasio (the “Corfo Project Agreement” and together with the Corfo Lease Agreement, the “SQM-Corfo Agreements”). The mining exploitation concessions related to such rights are owned by Corfo and leased to SQM Salar pursuant to the Corfo Lease Agreement in exchange for quarterly lease payments to Corfo based on specified percentages of the final sale prices of the production of minerals extracted from the Salar de Atacama brines. SQM Salar also pays an annual concession fee to the Chilean government for the concession rights. Under the terms of the Corfo Project Agreement, Corfo has agreed that it will not, and will not permit any other person to, explore, exploit or mine any mineral resources in the approximately 140,000 hectares area of the Salar de Atacama. Corfo cannot unilaterally amend the SQM-Corfo Agreements and the rights to exploit the resources cannot be transferred. All of our products originating from the Salar de Atacama, principally lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride, are derived from our extraction operations under the SQM-Corfo Agreements.
The SQM-Corfo Agreements were amended and restated effective April 10, 2018 and further amended in 2020 and provide the following terms, among others:
(i)increased lease payments to Corfo as a result of increased lease rates associated with the sale of different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride (see “Item 5.A. Operating Results – Results of Operations – 2022 compared to 2021 – Cost of Sales – Lithium and Derivatives” and “– Potassium” for descriptions of the progressive rate structure based on the final sale price of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride);
(ii)a commitment by SQM Salar to contribute:
(a)between US$10.8 and US$18.9 million per year to research and development efforts;
(b)between US$10 to US$15 million per year to the communities in close proximity to the Salar de Atacama; and
(c)1.7% of total annual sales of SQM Salar to the Antofagasta Regional Government and the municipalities of San Pedro de Atacama, María Elena and Antofagasta for regional development;
(iii)the authorization by Corfo for CCHEN to establish a total production and sales limit for lithium products produced in the Salar de Atacama of up to 349,553 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (1,860,671 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent), which is in addition to the approximately 64,816 metric tons of lithium metallic equivalent (345,015 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent) then remaining from the originally authorized amount;
(iv)an obligation of SQM Salar to offer part of its lithium production (up to a maximum of 25%) at a preferential price to value-added producers that will develop lithium-based products in Chile;
118

Table of Contents
(v)an obligation of SQM Salar to strengthen its corporate governance by incorporating various audit, environmental control and coordination mechanisms with Corfo, which shall be set forth in amendments to the By-laws of SQM Salar, including among others:
(a)incorporating specific rules for the management of the company, including that two of the directors of SQM Salar are independent and meet the requirements established for independent directors of a public company; and
(b)requiring the Board of Directors of SQM Salar to designate a committee to monitor compliance with the Corfo Lease Agreement and the Corfo Project Agreement and to establish the regulations that will govern this committee and its functions;
(vi)provisions regarding the return of the leased real estate assets and personal property to Corfo, the transfer of environmental permits to Corfo at no cost and granting Corfo purchase options over production facilities and water rights in the Salar de Atacama upon termination of the SQM-Corfo Agreements; and
(vii)prohibitions against the sale of lithium brine extracted from leased mining concessions by SQM, SQM Salar and SQM Potasio.
The SQM-Corfo Agreements expire on December 31, 2030 and are subject to early termination by Corfo in connection with certain events of default. Under the SQM-Corfo Agreements, Corfo will use its best efforts to initiate a public bidding or contracting process for a contract for the exploitation of the Salar de Atacama properties no later than June 30, 2027 and to complete the process no later than July 30, 2029, except if a force majeure event occurs. The foregoing description of the Corfo Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SQM-Corfo Agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Form 20-F, and incorporated herein by reference. See also “Item 3.D. Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – Our inability to extend or renew on favorable terms the mineral exploitation rights relating to the Salar de Atacama concession, upon which our business is substantially dependent, beyond their current expiration date in December 2030 could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” and “— Risks Relating to Chile — The new National Lithium Strategy announced by the Chilean government in April 2023 has created and may continue to create uncertainty in the Chilean lithium industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business performance or the value of our shares and ADRs.”, “Item 5.A.

Association Agreement between SQM and Codelco
On May 31, 2024, SQM and Codelco, Chilean state-owned copper mining company entered into a partnership agreement which establishes the rights and obligations of the parties to form their partnership for the development of mining and production activities aimed at the production of lithium, potassium and other products from the properties of Corfo in the Salar de Atacama and their subsequent marketing (directly or through its subsidiaries or representative offices) for the period 2025-2060.
The Agreement includes forms of several agreements and documents to be entered into prior to the completion of the transaction, including the shareholders’ agreement, the sales agreement for the Company’s properties in the Salar de Maricunga, the license that the Company will grant to the Association Agreement over certain industrial property rights, the by-laws and powers of attorney of the Joint Venture, and the manner in which the Company will contribute to SQM Salar S.A. those assets and contracts of the Business that are not currently owned by SQM Salar S.A., among others. A number of conditions precedent remain to be satisfied for the formation of the partnership to become effective.
The entire document of the Joint Venture Agreement between SQM and Codelco is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 20-F.
See also “Item 3.D. Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – Our inability to extend or renew on favorable terms the mineral exploitation rights relating to the Salar de Atacama concession, upon which our business is substantially dependent, beyond their current expiration date in December 2030 could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
10.D.Exchange Controls
The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. Appropriate registration of a foreign investment in Chile permits the investor access to the Formal Exchange Market. Foreign investments can be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee under Decree Law No. 600 of 1974, as amended, or can be registered with the Central Bank of Chile under the Central Bank Act, Law No 18,840 of October 1989. The Central Bank Act is an organic constitutional law requiring a “special majority” vote of the Chilean Congress to
119

Table of Contents
be modified. Effective January 1, 2016, Decree Law No. 600 was repealed by Article 9 of the 2014 Tax Reform. Therefore, foreign investments made on or after January 1, 2016 cannot be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee.
Our 1993, 1995, 1998 and 2021 capital increases were carried out under and subject to the then current legal regulations, whose summary is hereafter included:
A Convención Capítulo XXVI del Título I del Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales or Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank of Chile the “Foreign Investment Contract”, was entered into and among the Central Bank of Chile, our Company and the depositary pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and to Chapter XXVI of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank of Chile, “Chapter XXVI,” which addresses the issuance of ADRs by a Chilean company. Absent the Foreign Investment Contract, under applicable Chilean exchange controls, investors would not be granted access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purposes of converting from Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars and repatriating from Chile amounts received in respect to deposited Series B common shares, or Series B common shares withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying Series B common shares and any rights arising therefrom). The following is a summary of the material provisions contained in the Foreign Investment Contract. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract.
Under Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile has agreed to grant to the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing or not domiciled in Chile who withdraws Series B common shares upon delivery of ADRs (such Series B common shares being referred to herein as “Withdrawn Shares”) access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars (and remit such U.S. dollars outside of Chile) in respect of the Withdrawn Shares, including amounts received as (a) cash dividends, (b) proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares, or from shares distributed because of the liquidation, merger or consolidation of the Company, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the holder of such shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) that such holder’s residence and domicile are outside Chile and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that such shares were sold on a Chilean stock exchange, (c) proceeds from the sale in Chile of preemptive rights to subscribe for additional Series A and Series B common shares, (d) proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of the Company and (e) other distributions, including without limitation those resulting from any recapitalization, as a result of holding Withdrawn Shares. Transferees of Withdrawn Shares will not be entitled to any of the foregoing rights under Chapter XXVI unless the Withdrawn Shares are redeposited with the depositary. Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADRs will have the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that the conditions to redeposit described hereunder are satisfied.
Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments will be conditioned upon certification by the Company to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend payment has been made and any applicable tax has been withheld. Chapter XXVI also provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares or distributions thereon will be conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of certification by the depositary that such shares have been withdrawn in exchange for ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect thereto until such Withdrawn Shares are redeposited.
Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract provide that a person who brings certain types of foreign currency into Chile, including U.S. dollars, to purchase Series B common shares with the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract must convert it into Chilean pesos on the same date and has 5 banking business days within which to invest in Series B common shares in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract. If such person decides within such period not to acquire Series B common shares, he can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the applicable request is presented to the Central Bank within 7 banking business days of the initial conversion into Chilean pesos. Series B common shares acquired as described above may be deposited for ADRs and receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the depositary that such deposit has been effected and that the related ADRs have been issued and receipt by the Custodian of a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited Series B common shares.
Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access requires approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request presented through a banking institution established in Chile. The Foreign Investment Contract will provide that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

Under current Chilean law, foreign investments abiding by the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be changed unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. No assurance can be given, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the
holders of ADRs, the disposition of underlying Series B common shares or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition could not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.
As of April 19, 2001, Chapter XXVI of Title I of the Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales of the Central Bank of Chile was eliminated and new investments in ADRs by non-residents of Chile, are now governed by Chapter XIV of the Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales of the Central Bank of Chile. This was made with the purpose of simplifying and facilitating the flow of capital to and from Chile. According to the new regulations, such investments must be carried out through Chile’s Formal Exchange Market and only reported to the Central Bank of Chile.
The Central Bank is also responsible for controlling incurrence of loan obligations to be paid from Chile and by a Chilean borrower to banks and certain other financial institutions outside Chile. Chapter XIV establishes what type of loans, investments, capital increases and foreign currency transactions are subject to the current Chapter XIV framework. Foreign currency transactions related to foreign loans must be performed through the Formal Exchange Market, and such transactions and the subsequent modifications of original loans must be properly informed to the Central Bank. Transactions prior to April 19, 2001, will continue to be regulated by the previous legal framework, except in cases where an express request has been presented to the Central Bank surrending previous rights and electing to be regulated by the provisions of Chapter XIV. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of Chapter XIV.
As of December 31, 2024, we had six series of bonds issued in the international markets under Rule 144A/Regulation S in the principal amounts of US$250 million, US$400 million, US$450 million, US$700 million, U$750 million, and US$ 850 million.
Any purchases of U.S. dollars in connection with payments on these loans will occur with the Formal Exchange Market. There can be no assurance, however, that restrictions applicable to payments in respect to the loans could not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.
10.E.Taxation
Material Chilean Tax Considerations
The following describes the material Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in SQM ADRs by a natural person without domicile or residence in Chile or, to any legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, that does not have a permanent establishment located in Chile and that lacks domicile or residence in Chile, a ("foreign holder").This discussion is based upon Chilean income tax laws presently in force, available in Rule No. 324 (1990) of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) or the “SII”, and other applicable regulations and rulings. The discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation.
Under Chilean legislation, provisions contained in tax law such as tax rates applicable to foreign holders, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may only be amended by another statute. In addition, the SII issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean taxes cannot be collected retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith based on those circulars, resolutions or official letters, without prejudice to the fact that the Chilean tax authority may issue new circulars, resolutions or official letters that reflect any change in criteria. regarding its interpretation of the tax law.
Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
On September 29, 2014, Chilean Law No.20,780, the Tax Reform, was published, introducing significant changes to the Chilean taxation system and strengthening the powers of the SII to control and prevent tax avoidance. Subsequently, on February 8, 2016, Law No. 20,899 that simplifies the income tax system and modifies other legal tax provisions was published. On February 24, 2020, Law No. 21,210, a law to modernize the tax legislation, was published. As a result of
121

these reforms, open stock corporations, like SQM, are subject to the partially integrated shareholder income tax regime. The corporate tax rate applicable to us has been 27% since 2018.
Under the partially integrated system, the tax burden for dividends distributed by companies to their final shareholders (i.e., taxpayers of the Withholding Tax (non-residents) or the Complementary Global Tax (resident individuals)) allows only a portion of the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company to be applied as a credit against the tax payable on dividends, unless the shareholder is resident in a country that has a treaty to prevent double taxation with Chile in effect or such treaty was signed before January 1, 2020 and until December 31, 2026, even if not yet in effect. In such case, 100% of the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company may be applied as a credit against the shareholder’s taxes payable on dividends.
As a result of the foregoing, foreign shareholders who are residents of a jurisdiction without a tax treaty will be subject to a higher effective tax rate on dividends than residents of jurisdictions with tax treaties.
In the case of U.S. investors, a tax treaty between the United States and Chile (the “Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty”) was signed prior to January 1, 2020. On December 19, 2023, the procedure for its entry into force was concluded. The Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty entered into force on January 1, 2024. However, in the case of withholding taxes applied by the income-generating country, the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty shall apply to amounts paid or earned on or after February 1, 2024.
Under the provisions of the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty, in the case of dividends paid from Chilean companies to their investors
domiciled in the United States, the rate of the Withholding Tax will be 35%, and this shall have the right to credit 100% of the corporate tax paid for profits from which those dividends are distributed.
Cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to the shares, including shares represented by ADRs held by a U.S. Holder (as defined below), will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, excluding the income tax, which is withheld and paid by the Company (the “Withholding Tax”). The effective rate of Withholding Tax imposed on dividends attributed to 2023 earnings of the Company and distributed during the same period was 23.90411 %.
Capital Gains
Gains from the sale or other disposition by a foreign holder of ADRs outside of Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. The deposit and withdrawal of the shares in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.
The tax cost of the shares received in the ADR exchange (repatriation) will be the acquisition value of the shares. Shares exchanged for ADRs are valued at the maximum price at which they are traded on the Chilean Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange or on any two business days prior to the exchange. Consequently, the conversion of ADRs into shares and the immediate sale of such shares at a price equal to or less than the highest price for Series B shares on the Chilean Stock Exchange on those dates will not generate a taxable gain.
The general tax regime applicable to the highest value or gain recognized in a transfer of shares (unlike the sales or exchanges of ADRs that such shares represent) in force to date, establishes that said gain will be subject to the general taxes set out in the Chilean tax law (Ley de Impuesto a la Renta).
However, the profit obtained from the sale of shares of open stock companies with a stock market presence, which is carried out on a stock exchange, or in a process of public offer for the acquisition of shares governed by the Securities Market Law, will be subject to a single capital gain tax rate of 10%.
For the application of this regime the shares that are sold must have been acquired after April 19, 2001, (i) in a local stock exchange authorized by the CMF, (ii) in a public tender offer for the shares governed by the Securities Market Law, (iii) in an initial public offering for the placement of shares due to the creation of a public limited company or a capital increase of an existing company, (iv) in an exchange of publicly offered securities convertible into shares or, (v) in a redemption of an investment fund shares. If the shares do not qualify for the above special tax treatment, capital gains obtained by foreign holders on the sale or exchange of shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADRs representing such shares) will be subject to a 35% Withholding Tax in Chile. Such rate could be reduced by the application of a double tax treaty subscribed by Chile. Provisional withholding obligations are applicable under the Chilean Income Tax Law based on different rates depending on whether the capital gain can be determined at the time of the sale. For example, the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty between the United States and Chile limits the maximum tax rate that both countries can apply to capital gains

obtained by a resident of a country in the disposal of shares of a closed joint-stock company in the other country, at a maximum rate of 16%.
In accordance with Official Letter No. 224, 2008 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service, shares received in exchange for ADRs are also considered as "acquired on the stock market" if the ADRs have been acquired on a stock exchange authorized by the CMF (for example, the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or the Madrid Stock Exchange). Ordinary shares are considered to have a high presence in the stock market when they: (a) are listed on the Securities Registry, (b) are listed on the Chilean Stock Exchange, and (c) have an adjusted stock market presence equal to or greater than 25%.
As of June 19, 2001, the higher value obtained in the sale of shares listed on the stock market is also exempt from income tax in Chile, when the sale is made by "foreign institutional investors", such as mutual funds and mutual funds of pensions, provided that the sale is made on a local stock exchange authorized by the CMF, or in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Market Law. To qualify as foreign institutional investors, the aforementioned entities must be incorporated outside of Chile, must not be domiciled in Chile, and must be an "investment fund" under Chilean tax law.
The single tax rate of 10% that affects the highest value or profit obtained in the sale of shares of public limited companies, was established by Law No. 21,420, published in the Official Gazette on February 2, 2022.
This tax must be withheld by the buyer of the shares or by the intervening stockbroker, at a rate of 10% calculated on the highest value or profit, if this is known on the date of payment of the price, remittance, payment to account or making it available to the seller in any way, or, with a rate of 1% on the total price, without any deduction, if the higher value is not known on that same date.
For purposes of determining the highest value subject to tax at the 10% rate, the modification introduced by Law No. 21,420 establishes that taxpayers with domicile or residence in Chile may consider as acquisition value and/or contribution, at their choice: (a) the official closing price of the respective securities, as of December 31 of the year of their acquisition, considering first the oldest securities according to their acquisition date, which may be proposed by the Chilean tax authority in the statement of results of the corresponding tax, or (b) the value of acquisition and/or contribution in accordance with the general rules established in the Income Tax Law. For purposes of item (a), year of acquisition is calculated by virtue of the information that said authority has at its disposal. Said proposal will not exempt the taxpayer from complementing or adjusting the corresponding information in accordance with the general rules.
In the case of taxpayers without domicile or residence in Chile, for purposes of determining the highest value subject to the single tax rate of 10%, they must consider the value of acquisition and/or contribution in accordance with clause (b) above.
The modifications implemented by Law No. 21,420 are effective as of September 1, 2022 and, therefore, apply to sales made after that date.
Other Chilean Taxes
No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADRs by a foreign holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the shares by a foreign holder. No Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties apply to foreign holders of ADRs or shares.
United States-Chile Double Taxation Treaty
With regard to the changes in these matters introduced with the entry into force of the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty between Chile and the United States, the following effects can be noted:
In relation to Dividends:
In relation to dividends paid by an entity domiciled in Chile to individuals or entities domiciled in the United States, the general rate of 35% Withholding Tax (Impuesto Adicional) is maintained, with the right to use as credit the entire Corporate Tax (Impuesto de Primera Categoría) previously paid for the profits from which the dividend was distributed. The possibility of using 100% of the corporate tax (Impuesto de Primera Categoría), was in force only until 2026 for treaties signed but not in force, so, if the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty had not entered into force, from 2026 only 65% of corporate tax could have been used as a credit.
123

Table of Contents
In relation to Capital Gains:
Prior to the entry into force of the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty between Chile and the United States, when a person or entity resident in the United States obtained capital gains from the disposal of shares or rights representatives of the capital of a company resident in Chile, this was taxed with a Withholding Tax (Impuesto Adicional) rate of 35% in Chile.
The Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty limits the maximum tax rate of Withholding Tax that both countries may apply to capital gains earned by the residents of one country in the disposal of shares or rights or interests representing the capital of a company resident in the other country, to a maximum of 16%, with some exceptions. The 16% maximum does not apply in cases where the seller has held, at any time within the 12-month period preceding the disposal, directly or indirectly, shares that represent more than 50% of the capital, or other rights that represent 20% or more of the capital of the company that was disposed of.
Under the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty, in the cases in which capital gains are obtained by a resident of the United States from sales of shares traded in a stock exchange in Chile; provided that such shares were previously acquired: A) on a recognized stock exchange in Chile; B) in a public offer for the acquisition of shares regulated by law; C) in a placement of shares by the company at the time of the constitution of that company or of a capital increase of that company; or D) in an exchange of bonds convertible into shares, these capital gains would not be subject to Withholding Tax (Impuesto Adicional) in Chile.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (defined below) arising from ownership and disposition of the Series A common shares and the Series B common shares, together the “shares”, and the ADRs. The discussion which follows is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the “Code,” the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect and available on the date hereof. These authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, which could affect the continued validity of this summary. In addition, the summary assumes that the depositary’s activities are clearly and appropriately defined so as to ensure that the U.S. federal income tax treatment of ADRs will be identical to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the underlying shares.
The discussion that follows is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor and is limited to investors who will hold the shares or ADRs as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The summary does not address the tax treatment of holders that may be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules, such as insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, persons who are subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons who are broker-dealers in securities or foreign currency or dealers and traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting, persons who hold the shares or ADRs as a hedge against currency risks, as a position in a “straddle” for tax purposes, or as part of a conversion or other integrated transaction, persons holding our shares or ADRs in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the U.S., partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or partners in such partnerships or entities, or persons who own (directly, indirectly or by attribution) 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of equity in the Company or 10% or more of the combined value of all classes of equity in the Company. PERSONS OR ENTITIES DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING PARTNERSHIPS HOLDING SHARES OR ADRs OR PARTNERS IN SUCH PARTNERSHIPS, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF SHARES OR ADRs.
For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of shares or ADRs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident, (b) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof, (c) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source, or (d) a trust (i) that validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) if (A) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (B) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares or ADRs, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisor as to its consequences.
124

Table of Contents
The discussion below does not address the effect of any U.S. state, local, estate or gift tax law or non-U.S. tax law or tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers on a U.S. Holder of the shares or ADRs. U.S. HOLDERS OF SHARES OR ADRs SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCES UNDER ANY SUCH LAW OF OWNING OR DISPOSING THE SHARES OR ADRs.
For purposes of applying U.S. federal income tax law, any U.S. Holder of an ADR generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying shares represented thereby. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADRs are released before shares are delivered to the depositary (pre-release) or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between beneficial owners and the issuer of the security underlying the ADRs may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for beneficial owners of depositary shares. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced tax rate, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate beneficial owners. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of Chilean taxes, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.
Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
The following discussion of cash dividends and other distributions is subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” Distributions received by a U.S. Holder on shares or ADRs, including the amount of any Chilean taxes withheld, other than certain pro rata distributions of shares to all shareholders, will constitute foreign-source income to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. The amount of dividend income paid in Chilean pesos that a U.S. Holder will be required to include in income will equal the U.S. dollar value of the distributed Chilean peso, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received, regardless of whether the payment is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of its receipt, which would be ordinary income or loss and would be treated as income from U.S. sources for foreign tax credit purposes. Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holder’s income on the date of the U.S. Holder’s, or in the case of ADRs, the depositary’s, receipt of the dividend. Corporate U.S. Holders will not be entitled to claim the dividends-received deduction with respect to dividends paid by us.
Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury and the discussion below regarding rules intended to be promulgated by the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by a noncorporate U.S. Holder in respect of our shares or ADRs generally will be subject to taxation at preferential rates if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on our ADRs generally will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) our ADRs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. (ii) SQM was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) and (iii) the holder thereof has satisfied certain holding period requirements. Our ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and generally will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. so long as they are so listed. We do not believe that we were a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2024 taxable year. In addition, based on our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2025 taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, and because it is unclear whether certain types of our income constitute passive income for PFIC purposes, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any current, prior or future taxable year. Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether dividends received with respect to our shares will be treated as qualified dividends, because our shares are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange. In addition, the U.S. Treasury has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of ADRs and intermediaries through whom such securities are held will be permitted to rely on certifications from issuers to establish that dividends are treated as qualified dividends. Because such procedures have not yet been issued, it is not clear whether we will be able to comply with them. A U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE FAVORABLE RATE WILL APPLY TO DIVIDENDS IT RECEIVES AND WHETHER IT IS SUBJECT TO ANY SPECIAL RULES THAT LIMIT ITS ABILITY TO BE TAXED AT THIS FAVORABLE RATE.
125

Table of Contents
The amount of a dividend generally will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to a U.S. Holder for foreign tax credit purposes. As discussed in more detail below under “—Foreign Tax Credits,” it is not free from doubt whether Chilean withholding taxes imposed on distributions on our shares or ADRs will be treated as income taxes eligible for a foreign tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a Chilean withholding tax is treated as an eligible foreign income tax, subject to generally applicable limitations, you may claim a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability for the eligible Chilean taxes withheld from distributions on our shares or ADRs. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (as discussed above), special rules will apply in determining the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation. THE RULES RELATING TO FOREIGN TAX CREDITS ARE COMPLEX. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF CHILEAN WITHHOLDING TAXES IMPOSED ON DISTRIBUTIONS ON OUR SHARES OR ADRs.
Sale or Other Disposition of our Shares or ADRs
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gain or loss a U.S. Holder realizes on the sale or other disposition of our shares or ADRs generally will be U.S.-source capital gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes, and generally will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held our shares or ADRs for more than one year. The amount of a U.S. Holder’s gain or loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our shares or ADRs disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition (including any amount withheld in respect of Chilean withholding taxes), in each case as determined in U.S. dollars.
In certain circumstances, Chilean taxes may be imposed upon the sale of shares. See “—Material Chilean Tax Considerations—Capital Gains” above. As discussed in more detail below under “—Foreign Tax Credits,” subject to generally applicable limitations and substantiation requirements, a U.S. Holder may be eligible to claim a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability for the eligible Chilean taxes withheld pursuant to a sale or other disposition of our shares or ADRs. U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN U.S. TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SHARES OR ADRs.
Foreign Tax Credits
Subject to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon a U.S. Holder’s circumstances and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, you may be eligible to claim a credit against your U.S. tax liability for Chilean income taxes (or taxes imposed in lieu of an income tax) imposed in connection with distributions on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our shares or ADRs. Chilean dividend withholding taxes generally are expected to be income taxes eligible for the foreign tax credit. Pursuant to the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty, after the effective date of the Chile-U.S. Tax Treaty (which was February 1, 2024, with respect to taxes withheld at source, and January 1, 2024, for all other taxes), the Chilean dividend withholding taxes and Chilean capital gain tax will be eligible for the foreign tax credit; however, you generally may claim a foreign tax credit only after taking into account any available opportunity to reduce the Chilean capital gains tax, such as the reduction for the credit for Chilean corporate income tax that is taken into account when calculating Chilean withholding tax. If a Chilean tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of our shares or ADRs, and a U.S. Holder does not receive significant foreign source income from other sources, such U.S. Holder may not be able to credit such Chilean tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability. If a Chilean tax is not treated as an income tax (or a tax paid in lieu of an income tax) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder would be unable to claim a foreign tax credit for any such Chilean tax withheld; however, a U.S. Holder may be able to deduct such tax in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to applicable limitations. In addition, instead of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may, at the U.S. Holder’s election, deduct such Chilean taxes in computing the U.S. Holder’s taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year to foreign countries and possessions of the U.S. THE CALCULATION OF FOREIGN TAX CREDITS AND, IN THE CASE OF A U.S. HOLDER THAT ELECTS TO DEDUCT FOREIGN INCOME TAXES, THE AVAILABILITY OF DEDUCTIONS, INVOLVES THE APPLICATION OF COMPLEX RULES THAT DEPEND ON YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FOREIGN TAX CREDITS IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
We do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2024 taxable year and do not anticipate being a PFIC for our 2025 taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, and because it is unclear whether certain types of our income
126

Table of Contents
constitute passive income for PFIC purposes, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any current, prior or future taxable year. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held our shares or ADRs, certain adverse consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder, including the imposition of higher amounts of tax than would otherwise apply, and additional filing requirements. In addition, if we were treated as a PFIC in a taxable year in which we pay a dividend or in the prior taxable year, the favorable dividend rates discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders would not apply (see “—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions” above). A U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisors regarding the consequences to it if we were a PFIC, as well as the availability and advisability of making any election that might mitigate the adverse consequences of PFIC status.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Required Disclosure with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to an interest in our shares or ADRs, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for our shares or ADRs held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a completed IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold an interest in our shares or ADRs. U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN U.S. TAX ADVISORS REGARDING INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THEIR OWNERSHIP OF OUR SHARES OR ADRs.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the U.S. or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless (i) the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.
The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Medicare Contribution Tax
Legislation enacted in 2010 generally imposes a tax of 3.8% on the “net investment income” of certain individuals, trusts and estates. Among other items, net investment income generally includes gross income from dividends and net gain attributable to the disposition of certain property, like our shares or ADRs, less certain deductions. A U.S. Holder should consult the U.S. Holder’s tax advisor regarding the possible application of this legislation in the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.
A U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR SHARES OR ADRs.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Disclosure Control and Procedures
SQM management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s executive management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information is made known to management and that financial and non-financial information is properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported as of December 31, 2024.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, through the same design and evaluation period of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, recognized that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system regardless of how well designed and operated. In such a way they can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues or instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
(b)Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
SQM management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not necessarily prevent or detect some misstatements. It can only provide reasonable assurance regarding financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the polices or procedures may deteriorate over time.
Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework “Internal Controls — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment, SQM management has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

ITEM 16. [Reserved]
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Board of Directors has determined that the Company does not have an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the regulations adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Pursuant to Chilean regulations, the Company has a Directors’ Committee whose main duties are similar to those of an audit committee. Each of the members of the Directors’ Committee is a member of the audit committee. See “Item 6.C. Board Practices.”
Our Board believes that the members of the Directors’ Committee have the necessary expertise and experience to perform the functions of the Directors’ Committee pursuant to Chilean regulations.
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

Since June 2021, the Company has an Insider Trading Policy that is part of the Manual for the Management of Information of Interest to the Market. The entire document (the "Manual") is filed as Exhibit 11 to this Form 20-F.
The purpose of this Insider Trading Policy is to ensure compliance with applicable securities regulations and to prevent the improper use of material non-public information (MNPI) related to SQM securities. This policy outlines the rules governing transactions and holdings of SQM securities by covered individuals, ensuring compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards.
The scope of the Insider Trading Policy applies to all individuals covered under the Manual (the "Recipients of the Manual"), including: Directors, officers, employees, and other individuals with access to MNPI. The Insider Trading Policy is applicable to transactions executed directly or indirectly through controlled entities or third parties acting on behalf of the Recipients of the Manual. All Recipients of the Manual must comply with this policy, as well as relevant provisions of the Chilean Securities Law, the Chilean Corporations Law, and the regulations of the CMF and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Insider Trading Policy establishes trading restrictions and blackout periods, as follow:

Disclosure of SQM Securities Holdings
SQM discloses holdings of its shares by Directors and Senior Executives in the annual report, in compliance with CMF requirements and in the Form 20-F, in compliance with SEC requirements.
ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY
Policies and Procedure
The purpose of information security and cybersecurity is to define the general guidelines regarding the Information Security Governance and Management System (SGGSI) and which must be known, adopted and complied with by all employees of the company, as well as third parties linked to it. SQM defines that the effective Governance and Management of Information and Operation Technology Security (IT/OT) is a business function and as such a critical element for the success and survival of SQM in a globalized and highly competitive world.
An information security strategy is developed and implemented in alliance with business strategies, information technologies (IT) and operational technologies (OT). The scope and extent of the information security strategy depends on the size, complexity of the company, its business activities, risks, vulnerabilities and threats, providing a reasonable defense against any internal or external attack. This cybersecurity strategy addresses preventive, detective, corrective and reactive measures. Also, an important aspect is the information security incident management life cycle, which consists of being able to methodologically analyze Information Security & Cybersecurity (ISC) events/incidents from a point of view of the impact they could cause to the company. Incident response methodologies generally emphasize preparedness, not only establishing an incident response capability, but also preventing incidents by ensuring that systems, networks and applications are sufficiently secure. Preparation involves implementing the appropriate tools and configuring appropriate processes and procedures for treatment before an incident occurs. One of the most important tasks is to identify the assets that must be protected.
We have incorporated cybersecurity related risks into our overall risk management system, which is built considering international standards, such as ISO 31000 and COSO ERM (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations Enterprise Risk Management), and includes the following stages:
132

Table of Contents
Risk Identification: To identify the risks, meetings will be held between the business risk management area and the different process owners of each business unit or business areas, who, due to their responsibilities, can be presumed to understand significant risk situations.
Based on this input, the Business Risk Management Department will prepare a list of the risks identified for each unit. This list will be called a "risk inventory".
Risk Analysis: Risk analysis includes the study of the causes and consequences in the event of a risk materialization. A risk can have multiple causes and consequences, which can affect more than one risk, so its correct identification will provide an in-depth analysis of the risk and its possible consequences. For any critical risk related to our strategic objectives, such as the risk of cybersecurity, a cause-consequence analysis must be performed, which is registered in a Bow-Tie sheet, which will help to better identify the controls that mitigate such risk. This analysis will be reviewed at least once every six months by the Business Risk Management Department and the responsible area.
Risk Assessment: For any critical risk related to the Company's strategic objectives, such as the risk of cybersecurity, a cause-consequence analysis must be performed, which is registered in a Bow-Tie sheet, which will help to better identify the controls that mitigate such risk. The Bow-Tie analysis is a risk management technique that provides a visual representation of potential hazards, the threats that could cause those hazards, the consequences of those threats, and the controls in place to mitigate the risks. The name "bow-tie" comes from the shape of the diagram, which resembles a bow-tie with the hazard in the center and the threats and consequences branching out on either side. This analysis will be reviewed at least once every six months by the Business Risk Management Department and the responsible area.
Risk Treatment: Once the residual risk has been defined, there are different ways of dealing with the risks based on the risk management methodology, which must be considered on a case-by-case basis. The way in which risk is dealt with will depend mainly on the risk appetite defined for each case.
Risk Monitoring: The Business Risk Management Department continuously monitors the action plans committed by each responsible area.
Risk Communication: At least twice a year, the Business Risk Management Department will present SQM's critical risks, such as cybersecurity, to the Board of Directors directly, or through the Directors' Committee, so it may then report to the Board of Directors. Upon receipt of information regarding critical risks, the Board of Directors may request further details during the Board meeting or engage in discussions about the risks and/or mitigation measures with the respective responsible party.
SQM Business Risk Management Department is responsible for performing all the above described stages of the process.
Every three years, SQM's Business Risk Management Department requests a evaluation of SQM's risk management function. This evaluation is conducted by an external audit firm and includes a review of governance, processes, culture, and supporting systems, comparison with an industry benchmark, and recommendations. The most recent evaluation was conducted in 2024.
We believe to have protection mechanisms (controls) in place against unauthorized access, changes or modifications in production, development and testing environments, which may affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the company's information or data. Information security is subject to good governance, aligned with other governance arrangements established in the company. This good governance includes clear rules, borders, cybersecurity measures and controls.
Management and Director Cybersecurity Expertise
Our Business Risk Management Department consists of five people and is led by the Department Head who has access and reports to the Directors' Committee. Each member of the Department has training and/or certifications in Risk Management such as ISO 31000 or COSO ERM. All of them have more than five years of experience in Risk Management, Audit and Compliance roles.
SQM manages information security and cybersecurity through its IT Security and Governance Department for both its divisions: SQM Iodine-Plant Nutrition Division, SQM Lithium Chile Division and SQM International Lithium Division. The main responsibility of these departments is to protect the Company's IT infrastructure from cyberattacks and other threats. SQM has an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001, the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
The SQM Iodine-Plant Nutrition Division has an IT Security and Governance Department, where the Cybersecurity Leader is responsible for managing security resources, implementing protective measures, continuously monitoring, and developing response plans for cybersecurity incidents. Additionally, the department includes a Cybersecurity Risk team,
133

Table of Contents
under the direction of the IT Risk and Compliance Leader, responsible for managing and detecting risks, establishing robust security policies, and ensuring compliance with internal regulations and regulations related to information security and cybersecurity.
The IT Security and Governance Department reports to the Deputy IT Manager and the IT Manager, who bring over 30 years of combined experience in risk management, information asset protection, and operational continuity management in the mining sector. They oversee our divisions globally, providing advice and support to business and operational managers in their activities to ensure that information security and cybersecurity are managed as critical components of our overall sustainability strategy. Through their leadership, they ensure that best practices in cybersecurity and risk management are effectively implemented, promoting a culture of security that protects our assets and strengthens our operational resilience.
The Lithium Chile Division has an IT Security and Governance Department led by the Department Head, who reports directly to the IT Manager. This department has two main missions: Information Security, which manages risks related to the use of information technologies, regulatory compliance, and data protection; and Cybersecurity, which effectively protects, defends, and contains, through advanced monitoring, potential events and incidents that could affect availability, integrity, and confidentiality.
We have not had any major cybersecurity incidents or series of individually immaterial cybersecurity incidents that require disclosure in this Form 20-F.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sociedad Qu í mica y Minera de Chile S.A.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Bulk Inventories Volume
As described in Notes 3.15, 3.34 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated products in progress and finished products inventories balances as of December 31, 2024 amounted to US$698 million and US$854 million, respectively, which included bulk inventories amounting to US$ 249 million and US$139 million, respectively. The accounting process the Company uses to record products in progress and finished products bulk inventories volume relies on significant estimates primarily relating to topography measures and product density. To assist in validating the reasonableness of these estimates, management periodically reviews product density and performs cyclical physical inventory during the year and an annual physical inventory.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the bulk inventories volume is a critical matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining the products in progress and finished products bulk inventories volume; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing our audit procedures and in evaluating audit evidence related to the estimates made by management; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the estimation of inventories volumes, including controls over management’s physical inventory process and the determination of the product density. These procedures also included, among others, observing management’s physical inventory and assessing roll forward activity between the time of the inventory and year-end. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of management’s topography measures, assess the reasonableness of management’s determination of the product density and observe management’s annual physical inventory.
Litigation - Environmental, Tax and Legal Contingencies
As described in Notes 3.27, 3.34, and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. No provision for an estimated loss is recorded in the consolidated financial statements for unfavorable outcomes when, after assessing the information available, (i) management concludes that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in any of the pending litigation; or (ii) management is unable to reliably estimate the loss for any of the pending matters. The Company also discloses the contingency in circumstances where management concludes no loss is probable or reliably estimable, but it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the environmental, tax, and legal contingencies is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when assessing whether a loss is probable and when determining whether the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s assessment of the loss contingencies associated with environmental, tax and legal matters.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s assessment of litigation contingencies, including controls over assessing whether a loss is probable and when determining whether the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, as well as financial statement disclosures. These procedures also included, among others (i) confirming with internal and external legal counsel the possibility or probability of an unfavorable outcome and the extent to which the loss is reasonably estimable; (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable; and (iii) evaluating the sufficiency of the Company’s litigation contingency disclosures.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Issued in May 2024 |  | This amendment: - Clarifies the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, introducing a new exception for certain financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; - Clarifies and provides additional guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the criterion of solely payment of principal and interest (SPPI); - Adds new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives); and - Updates the disclosures for equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). |  | 01-01-2026
Annual Improvements to IFRSs |  | The following improvements were published in July 2024: -IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Some cross-references to IFRS 9 in paragraphs B5-B6 regarding the retrospective application exception for hedge accounting were improved. -IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. In relation to disclosures of gains/losses arising from derecognition of financial assets with continuing involvement, a reference to IFRS 13 is incorporated in order to disclose whether there are significant unobservable inputs with an impact on the fair value and, therefore, on part of the gain/loss from derecognition. -IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. A reference to the initial measurement of receivables was amended by eliminating the term "transaction price". -IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements Some improvements were included in the description of the control assessment when there are “de facto agents”. -IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

Management believes that the adoption of the above standards, amendments and interpretations will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
2.5 Basis of consolidation
(a)Subsidiaries
The Company established control as the basis for consolidation of its financial statements. The Company controls a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.
The consolidation of a subsidiary starts when the Group controls it and it is no longer included in the consolidation when this control is lost.
Subsidiaries are consolidated through a line by line method, adding items that represent assets, liabilities, income and expenses with a similar content, and eliminating operations between companies within the SQM Group.
Results for dependent companies acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated accounts from the date on which control is transferred to the Company or until the date when this control ends, as relevant.
To account for an acquisition of a business, the Company uses the acquisition method. Under this method, the acquisition cost is the fair value of assets delivered, equity securities issued and incurred or assumed liabilities at the date of exchange. Assets, liabilities and contingencies identifiable assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Company will measure the non-controlling interest of the acquiree either at fair value or as proportional share of net identifiable assets of the acquire.

(*) On April 30, 2024 The Company acquired the total interest ownership in Sichuan Dixin New Energy Co. Ltd. for an amount of ThUS$ 127,152 (ThUS$ 12,489 are yet to be paid and it is recognized as a liability at the reporting date) and recognizing an identified intangible asset for ThUS$ 10,130 (see note 14 on intangible assets). The Company entered this transaction to acquire a battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate plant with a production capacity of approximately 20,000 tons per year for the Company’s lithium sulfate salts. See additional details in note 12.2. Assets and liabilities recognized upon acquisition consider the following:

Certain financial statement items |  | ThUS$
Property, plant and equipment |  | 101,357
Intangible assets (including identified intangible assets) |  | 12,861
Cash and cash equivalents |  | 1,093

Total liabilities |  | (21,215)
Total |  | 127,152

2.6 Investments in associates and joint ventures
Investments in joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.
(a)Joint operations
The Company recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint arrangement.
(b)Joint ventures and investments in associates
Interests in companies over which joint control is exercised (joint ventures) or where an entity has significant influence (associates) are recognized using the equity method. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the investor owns over 20% of the investee’s share capital. Under the equity method, the investment is recognized in the statement of financial position at cost and is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company's share of the net assets of the associate or joint venture since the date of acquisition. The Company's statement of income reflects the portion of the operating results of the associate or joint venture and any changes in other comprehensive income or direct changes in the associate's equity are reflected in the Company's equity. For such purposes, the percentage of ownership interest in the associate is used. At the time of acquisition, the difference between the investment cost and the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognized as goodwill, which is presented as part of the carrying value of the investee and is not amortized. The debit or credit to the income statement reflects the proportional share of the associate's net income (loss).
Changes in associate’s or joint ventures equity are recognized proportionally with a charge or credit to "Other Reserves" and are classified according to their origin. The reporting dates of the associate or joint ventures, the Company and related policies are similar for equivalent transactions and events in similar circumstances. In the event that significant influence is lost, or the investment is sold, or held for sale, the equity method is suspended, not recognizing the proportional share of the gain or loss. If the resulting value under the equity method is negative, the share of income is reflected as zero in the consolidated financial statements, unless there is a commitment by the Company to restore the capital position of the Company, in which case the related risk provision and expense are recorded.
Dividends received by these companies are recorded by reducing the value of the investment and are shown in cash flows from operating activities, and the proportional share of the gain or loss recognized in accordance with the equity method is included in the consolidated income statement under "Share of Gains (Losses) of Associates and Joint Ventures Accounted for Using the Equity Method’’.
F-23

Table of Contents
Unrealized gains from transactions with joint ventures or associates are eliminated in accordance with the Company’s percentage interest in such entities. Any unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless that transaction provides evidence that the transferred asset is impaired.

In the consolidated statement of financial position, balances are classified in consideration of their recovery maturity dates; i.e., those maturing within a period equal to or less than 12 months are classified as current counted from the closing date of the consolidated financial statements and those with maturity dates exceeding the aforementioned period are classified as non-current.
The exception to the foregoing relates to deferred taxes, which are classified as non-current, regardless of the maturity they have.
3.2 Functional and presentation currency
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, without decimal places, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency and is the currency of the main economic environment in which it operates. Consequently, the term foreign currency is defined as any currency other than the U.S. dollar.
3.3 Accounting policy for foreign currency translation
(a)SQM group entities:
The revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of all entities that have a functional currency other than the presentation currency are converted to the presentation currency as follows:
-Assets and liabilities are converted at the closing exchange rate prevailing on the reporting date.
-Revenues and expenses of each statement of income account are converted at monthly average exchange rates.
-All resulting foreign currency translation gains and losses are recognized as a separate component in translation reserves.
In consolidation, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities are recorded in shareholder’s equity (“foreign currency translation reserve”). At the date of disposal, such foreign currency translation differences are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss from the sale.

(b)Transactions and balances
The Company’s non-monetary transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (Dollar) are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. All differences are recorded in the statement of income except for all monetary items that provide an effective hedge for a net investment in a foreign operation. These items are recognized in other comprehensive income until disposal of the investment, when they are recognized in the statement of income. Charges and credits attributable to foreign currency translation differences on those hedge monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are retranslated to the functional currency at the historical exchange rate of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured based on fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined.
3.4 Consolidated statement of cash flows
Cash equivalents correspond to highly liquid short-term investments that are easily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in their value and mature in less than three months from the date of acquisition of the instrument.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
The statement of cash flows present cash transactions performed during the period, determined using the direct method.
The Company’s accounting policy is to consider interest paid and finance costs, interest received and dividends received as net cash flows from operations and dividends paid as cash flows from (used in) financing activities.

3.5 Financial assets accounting policy
Management determines the classification of its financial assets at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
The initial value of the Company's financial assets valued at fair value through other comprehensive income includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to acquiring that financial asset on the date the Company commits to acquiring it, whereas the transaction costs for financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss are expensed. The initial value of trade and other receivables that do not include a significant financial component is their transaction price.
After initial recognition, the Company measures its financial assets according to the Company’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual terms of its cash flows:
(a)Financial debt instruments measured at amortized cost. Financial assets that meet the following conditions are included in this category (i) the business model that supports it aims to maintain the financial assets to obtain the contractual cash flows and (ii) the contractual conditions of the financial asset give place, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only payments of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. The Company’s financial assets that meet these conditions are: (i) cash equivalents; (ii) related party receivables; (iii) trade debtors; (iv) other receivables.
(b)Financial instruments at fair value. A financial asset should be measured at fair value through income or fair value through other comprehensive income, depending on the following:
(i)"Fair value through other comprehensive income": Assets held to collect contractual cash flows and to be sold, where the asset cash flows are only capital and interest payments, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in book values are through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest income and exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in the income statement. When a financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the income statement. Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest method.
(ii)"Fair value through profit or loss": Assets that do not meet the amortized cost or "Fair value through other comprehensive income" criteria are valued at "Fair value through income".
(c)Financial equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. Equity instruments that are not classified as held for trading and which the Group has irrevocably chosen to recognize in this category from its initial recognition to the reporting date. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income will not be subsequently transferred to the statement of income.

3.6 Financial assets impairment
The Company evaluates expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment method used depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
The Company assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly when it is more than 30 days past due. It is in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due and an individual analysis has concluded that it has a negative credit impairment.
–Significant financial hardship
–Breach of contract due to default
–Probability of going bankrupt
The Company assesses the credit impairment of its receivables as of each reporting date. A financial asset has credit impairment when one or more events have a negative impact on the expected cash flows from it. Evidence of credit impairment for a debtor is as follows:
The Company applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using the lifetime expected loss on all trade receivables. Expected credit losses are measured by grouping receivables by their shared credit risk characteristics and days overdue.
The Company has concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for these assets. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles and historical credit losses within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current expectations and information regarding macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of customers to meet their commitments. Impairment losses from receivables and contract assets are shown as net impairment losses in the line “Impairment of financial assets and reversal of impairment losses,” see Note 21.7. Any subsequent recoveries of financial assets previously charged off are credited to the same line.
The gross value of a financial asset is charged off to the income statement when the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering all or a portion of it, following an individual analysis prepared by management.
3.7 Financial liabilities
Management accounts for its financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Upon initial recognition, the Company measures its financial liabilities by their fair value less the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability. The Company subsequently measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are commercial accounts payable and other accounts payable and other financial liabilities.
Amortized cost is based using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by considering any premium or discount on the acquisition and includes transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
3.8 Estimated fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is estimated using the following information. Although the data represents Management's best estimates, it is subjective and involves significant estimates regarding current economic conditions, market conditions and risk characteristics.
Methodologies and assumptions used depend on the risk terms and characteristics of instruments and include the following as a summary:
F-27

Table of Contents
Fair value estimation
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value consist of forwards hedging the mismatch in the balance sheet and cash flows, options hedging the mismatch in the balance sheet and cross currency swaps to hedge bonds issued in local currency (Peso/UF).
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities recognized by cross currency swaps contracts is calculated as the difference between the present value of discounted cash flows of the asset (Peso/UF) and liability (Dollar) parts of the derivative. In the case of the IRS, the asset value recognized is calculated as the difference between the discounted cash flows of the asset (variable rate) and liability (fixed rate) parts of the derivative. Forwards are calculated as the difference between the strike price of the contract and the spot price plus the forwards points at the date of the contract. Financial options: the value recognized is calculated using the Black-Scholes method.
In the case of CCS, the entry data used for the valuation models are UF, Peso, Dollar and basis swap rates. In the case of fair value calculations for interest rate swaps, the Forward Rate Agreement rate and ICVS 23 Curve (Bloomberg: cash/deposits rates, futures, swaps). In the case of forwards, the forwards curve for the currency in question is used. Finally, for options, the spot price, risk-free rate and volatility of exchange rate are used, all in accordance with the currencies used in each valuation. The financial information used as entry data for the Company’s valuation models is obtained from Bloomberg, the well-known financial software company. Conversely, the fair value provided by the counterparties of derivatives contracts is used only as a control and not for valuation purposes.
Fair value estimates for disclosure purposes
•Cash equivalent approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
•Fair value of current trade receivables is considered to be equal to the carrying amount due to the maturity of such accounts at short-term.
•Payables, current lease liabilities and other current financial liabilities’s fair value equal to book value due to the short-term maturity of these accounts.
•The fair value of the debt (long-term secured and unsecured debentures; bonds denominated in local currency (Peso/UF) and foreign currency (Dollar), borrowings denominated in foreign currency (Dollar) of the Company are calculated at current value of cash flows subtracted from market rates upon valuation, considering the terms of maturity and exchange rates. The UF and Peso rate curves are used as inputs for the valuation model. This information is obtained through from the renowned financial software company, Bloomberg, and the Chilean Association of Banks and Financial Institutions.
3.9 Reclassification of financial instruments
When the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, it will reclassify all its financial assets affected by the new business model. Financial liabilities cannot be reclassified.
3.10 Financial instruments derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; and the control of the financial assets has not been retained.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations or a part of these are discharged, paid to the creditor or legally extinguished from the principle responsibility contained in the liability.
3.11 Derivative and hedging financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value as of the date on which the derivatives contract is signed and, they are subsequently assessed at fair value. The method for recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative has been designated as an accounting hedge instrument and, if so, it depends on the type of hedging, which may be as follows:
a)Fair value hedge of assets and liabilities recognized (fair value hedges).
F-28

Table of Contents
b)Hedging of a single risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the relationship that exists between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as their objectives for risk management purposes and strategy to conduct the different hedging operations.
The Company also documents its evaluation both at the beginning and at the end of each period if the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective to offset changes in the fair value or in cash flows of hedged items.
The fair value of derivative instruments used for hedging purposes is shown in Note 12.3.
Derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify as hedging derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities, and changes in the fair value are directly recognized through income.
a)Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the statement of income, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps that hedge fixed rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of income within finance costs, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in income within other income or other expenses captions. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to income over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate.
b)Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is initially recognized with a debit or credit to other comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is immediately recognized to income, as appropriate, depending on the nature of the hedged risk. The amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are carried over to results when the hedged items are settled or when these have an impact on income.
When a hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.
When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in other comprehensive income are immediately reclassified to the statement of income.
3.12 Derivative financial instruments not considered as hedges
Derivative financial instruments not considered as hedges are recognized at fair value with the effect in the statement of income for the year. The Company has derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risk exposure.
The Company continually evaluates the existence of embedded derivatives in both its contracts and in its financial instruments. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company does not have any embedded derivatives.
3.13 Deferred acquisition cost from insurance contracts
Acquisition costs from insurance contracts are classified as prepayments and correspond to insurance contracts in force, recognized using the straight-line method and on an accrual basis independent of payment date. These are recognized under other non-financial assets current.
F-29

Table of Contents
3.14 Leases
(a)Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets on the initial lease date (i.e., the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted by any new measurement of the lease liability. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of recognized lease liabilities, direct initial costs incurred and lease payments made on the start date or sooner, less the lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably sure it will take ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease period, the assets recognized through right-of-use are depreciated in a straight line during the shortest period of their estimated useful life and lease period. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
(b)Lease liabilities
On the lease start date, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at present value of lease payments that will be made during the lease period. Lease payments include fixed payments (including payments that are essentially fixed), less incentives for lease receivables, variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate and amounts that are expected to be paid as guaranteed residual value. Lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably sure it will exercise this and penalty payments for terminating a lease, if the lease period reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or rate are recognized as expenses in the period that produces the event or condition that triggers payment.
When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate on the initial lease date if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined easily. After the start date, the lease liability balance will increase to reflect the accumulation of interest and will diminish as lease payments are made. Furthermore, the book value of lease liabilities is remeasured in the event of an amendment, a change in the lease period, a change in the fixed lease payments in substance or a change in the assessment to buy the underlying asset.
Payments made that affect lease liabilities are presented as part of the financing activities in the cash flow statement.
(c)Short-term leases and low-value asset leases
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases with a lease term of 12 months or less starting on the start date and that don’t have a purchase option. It also applies the low-value asset lease recognition exemptions to leases less than the limit specified in the respective accounting standard. Lease payments in short-term leases and low-value asset leases are recognized as lineal expenses during the lease term.
(d)Significant judgments in the determination of the lease term for contracts with renewal options.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that this will be exercised, or any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that this will not be exercised.
The Company has the option, under some of its leases, to lease assets on additional terms. The Company applies its judgment when assessing whether it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option to renovate. In other words, it considers all the relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the option to renovate. After the start date, the Company reevaluates the lease term if there is a significant event or change in the circumstances that are under its control and affect its capacity to exercise (or not exercise) the option to renovate.
3.15 Inventory measurement
The method used to determine the cost of inventories is the weighted average monthly cost of warehouse storage. In determining production costs for own products, the company includes the costs of labor, raw materials, materials and supplies used in production, depreciation and maintenance of the goods that participate in the production process, the costs of product movement necessary to maintain stock on location and in the condition in which they are found, and also includes the indirect costs of each task such as laboratories, process and planning areas, and personnel expenses related to production, among others.
F-30

Table of Contents
For finished and in-process products, the company has three types of provisions, which are reviewed quarterly:
(a)Provision associated with the lower value of stock: The provision is directly identified with the product that generates it and involves three types: (i) provision of lower realizable value, which corresponds to the difference between the inventory cost of intermediary or finished products, and the sale price minus the necessary costs to bring them to the same conditions and location as the product with which they are compared; (ii) provision for future uncertain use that corresponds to the value of those products in process that are likely not going to be used in sales based on the company’s long-term plans; (iii) reprocessing costs of products that are unfeasible for sale due to current specifications.
(b)Provision associated with physical differences in inventory: A provision is made for differences that exceed the tolerance considered in the respective inventory process (physical and annual inventories are taken for the productive units in Chile and the port of Tocopilla; the business subsidiaries depend on the last zero ground obtained, but in general it is at least once a year), these differences are recognized immediately.
(c)Potential errors in the determination of stock: The company has an algorithm (reviewed at least once a year) that corresponds to diverse percentages assigned to each inventory based on the product, location, complexity involved in the associated measurement, rotation and control mechanisms.
Inventories of raw materials, materials and supplies for production are recorded at acquisition cost. Cyclical inventories are performed in warehouses, as well as general inventories every three years. Differences are recognized at the moment they are detected. The company has a provision based on quarterly calculations from percentages associated with each type of material (classification by warehouse and rotation), these percentages use the lower value resulting from deterioration or obsolescence as well as potential losses. This provision is reviewed at least annually, and considers the historical results obtained in the inventory processes.
3.16 Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity but separate from equity attributable to the owners of the Parent.
3.17 Related party transactions
Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are part of the Company’s normal operations within its scope of business activities. Conditions for such transactions are those normally effective for those types of operations with regard to terms and market prices. The maturity conditions vary according to the originating transaction.
3.18 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses that they might have experienced.
In addition to the price paid for the acquisition of tangible property, plant and equipment, the Company has considered the following concepts as part of the acquisition cost, as applicable:
(a)Accrued interest expenses during the construction period that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are those that require a substantial period prior to being ready for use. The interest rate used is that related to the project’s specific financing or, should this not exist, the average financing rate of the investor company.
Financing costs are not capitalized for periods that exceed the normal term of acquisition, construction or installation of an asset, such as delays, interruptions or temporary suspension of the project due to technical, financial or other problems that prevent the asset from reaching a usable condition.
(b)The future costs that the Company will have to experience, related to the closure of its facilities at the end of their useful life, are included at the present value of disbursements expected to be required to settle the and its subsequent variation is recorded directly in results.
F-31

Table of Contents
Having initially recognized provisions for closure and refurbishment, the corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset in “Property, plant and equipment” and amortized in line with the amortization criteria for the associated assets.
Construction-in-progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment in operation once the assets are available for use and the related depreciation and amortization begins on that date.
Extension, modernization or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, ability or efficiency or an extension of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as a higher cost of the related assets. All the remaining maintenance, preservation and repair expenses are charged to expense as they are incurred.
The replacement of assets, which increase the asset’s useful life or its economic capacity, are recorded as a higher value of property, plant and equipment with the related derecognition of replaced or renewed elements.
Gains or losses which are generated from the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized as income (loss) and calculated as the difference between the asset’s sales value and its net carrying value.
The cost of interest is recognized by applying an average or average weighted interest rate for all financing costs incurred by the Company to the final monthly balances for works underway and comply with the requirements of the required standard.
3.19 Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated through the straight-line distribution of cost over the estimated technical useful life of the asset, which is the period in which the Company expects to use the asset. When components of one item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are recorded as separate assets and depreciated over their expected useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis.
Fixed assets located in the Salar de Atacama consider useful life to be the lesser value between the technical useful life and the years remaining until 2030.
In the case of certain mobile equipment, depreciation is performed depending on the hours of operation.
The useful lives used for the depreciation and amortization of assets included in property, plant and equipment are presented below:

Classes of property, plant and equipment |  | Minimum life or rate (years) |  | Maximum life or rate (years) |  | Life or average rate in years
Mining assets (*) |  | 5 |  | 10 |  | 8
Energy generating assets |  | 5 |  | 15 |  | 8

Other fixed assets |  | 3 |  | 20 |  | 9

(*) Mining equipment includes SQM Australia's exploration assets, which are depreciated on a unit of production basis.
3.20 Goodwill
Goodwill acquired represents the excess in acquisition cost on the fair value of the Company’s ownership of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary on the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired related to the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in the line item goodwill, which is subject to impairment tests annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses related to the sale of an entity include the carrying value of goodwill related to the entity sold.
F-32

Table of Contents
This intangible asset is assigned to cash-generating units with the purpose of testing impairment losses. It is allocated based on cash-generating units expected to obtain benefits from the business combination from which the aforementioned goodwill acquired arose.
3.21 Intangible assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets other than goodwill mainly relate to water rights, costs for rights of way for electricity lines, software and licensing costs, the development of computer software and mining property and concession rights.
(a)Water rights
Water rights acquired by the Company relate to water from natural sources and are recorded at acquisition cost. The Company separates water rights into:
i)Finite rights with amortization using the straight-line method, and
ii)Indefinite rights, which are not amortized, given that these assets represent rights granted in perpetuity to the Company and subject to an annual impairment assessment.
(b)Rights of way for electric lines
As required for the operation of industrial plants, the Company has paid rights of way in order to install wires for the different electric lines on third party land.
(c)Computer software
Licenses for IT programs acquired are capitalized based on their acquisition and customization costs. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of IT programs are defined by their contracts or rights.
Expenses related to the development or maintenance of IT programs are recognized as an expense as and when incurred. Costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable IT programs controlled by the Group, and which will probably generate economic benefits that are higher than its costs during more than a year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the expenses of employees who develop information technology software and general expenses in accordance with corporate charges received.
The costs of development for IT programs are recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
(d)Mining property and concession rights
The Company holds mining property and concession rights from the Chilean and Western Australian Governments. Property rights from the State of Chile are usually obtained at no initial cost (other than the payment of mining patents and minor recording expenses) and once the rights on these concessions have been obtained, they are retained by the Company while annual patents are paid. Such patents, which are paid annually, are recorded as prepaid assets and amortized over the following twelve months. Amounts attributable to mining concessions acquired from third parties that are not from the Chilean Government are recorded at acquisition cost within intangible assets.
The finite useful life of mining properties is calculated using the productive unit method, except for the mining properties owned by Corfo, which have been leased to the Company and grant it the right to exclusively exploit them until December 31, 2030.

3.22 Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are charged to the statement of income in the period in which the expenditure was incurred.
3.23 Exploration and evaluation expenses
The Company holds mining concessions for exploration and exploitation of ore, the Company gives the following treatment to the associated expenses:
Once the rights have been obtained, the Company records the disbursements directly associated with the exploration and evaluation of the deposit in execution as property, plant and equipment (construction in progress) at its cost. These disbursements include the following items: geological surveys, drilling, borehole extraction and sampling, activities related to the technical assessment and commercial viability of the extraction, and in general, any disbursement directly related to specific projects where the objective is to find ore resources. If the technical studies determine that the ore grade is not economically viable, the asset is directly charged to the statement of income. If determined otherwise, the asset described above is associated with the extractable ore tonnage which is amortized as it is used.
(a)Limestone and metallic exploration
These assets are included in Other non-current non-financial assets, and the portion related to the area to be exploited in the year is reclassified to Current inventories, if applicable. Costs related to metal exploration are charged the statement of income in the period in which they are recognized if the project assessed doesn’t qualify as advanced exploration otherwise, these are amortized during the development stage.
(b)Exploration and evaluation at the Mt. Holland Project
Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to the commencement of mining are presented in Construction in progress, until mining had commenced, subsequently these are reclassified to Mining assets as part of its property, plant and equipment.
3.24 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets subject to depreciation and amortization are also subject to impairment testing, provided that an event or change in the circumstances indicates that the amounts in the accounting records may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the book value of the asset over its recoverable amount.
For assets other than goodwill, the Group annually assesses whether there is any indication that a previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. Should such indications exist, the recoverable amount is estimated.
F-34

Table of Contents
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher between the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit less costs of sales and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate any cash inflows that are clearly independent from other assets or groups of assets.
In evaluating value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment, the value of money over time and the specific asset risks.
Impairment losses from continuing operations are recognized with a debit to the statement of income in the categories of expenses associated with the impaired asset function.
For assets other than goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is only reversed if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last time an impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying value of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. This increased amount cannot exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if an asset impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years. This reversal is recognized with a credit to the statement of income.
Assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually.
3.25 Minimum dividend
As required by Chilean law and regulations, our dividend policy is decided upon from time to time by our Board of Directors and is announced at the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, which is generally held in April of each year. Shareholder approval of the dividend policy is not required. However, each year the Board must submit the declaration of the final dividend or dividends in respect of the preceding year, consistent with the then-established dividend policy, to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting for approval. As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the holders of issued shares, we must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our consolidated net income for that year unless and to the extent the Company has a deficit in retained earnings. (See Note 19.5).
3.26 Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to the ordinary owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Earnings per Share |  | For the year ended December 31
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |
Net income attributable to the owners of the parent (ThUS$) |  | 685,117 |  | 923,191 |  | 3,906,311 |
Weighted average number of shares |  | 285,637,916 |  | 285,638,456 |  | 285,638,456 |
Basic earnings per share (US$) |  | 2.3986 |  | 3.2320 |  | 13.6757 |
Net income attributable to the owners of the parent (ThUS$) |  | 685,117 |  | 923,191 |  | 3,906,311 |
Weighted average number of shares |  | 285,637,916 |  | 285,638,456 |  | 285,638,456 |
Diluted earnings per share (US$) |  | 2.3986 |  | 3.2320 |  | 13.6757 |
Series A common shares |  | 142,819,012 |  | 142,819,552 |  | 142,819,552 |
Series B common shares |  | 142,818,904 |  | 142,818,904 |  | 142,818,904 |
Total weighted average number of shares |  | 285,637,916 |  | 285,638,456 |  | 285,638,456 |

The Company has no instruments that could potentially dilute earnings per share for the three years ended December 31, 2024.
3.27 Other provisions
Provisions are recognized when:
•The Company has a present, legal or constructive obligation as the result of a past event.
F-35

Table of Contents
•It is more likely than not that certain resources must be used, to settle the obligation.
•A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
In the event that the provision or a portion of it is reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset solely if there is certainty of income.
In the consolidated statement of income, the expense for any provision is presented net of any reimbursement.
Should the effect of the value of money over time be significant, provisions are discounted using a discount rate before tax that reflects the liability’s specific risks. When a discount rate is used, the increase in the provision over time is recognized as a finance cost.
The Company’s policy is to maintain provisions to cover risks and expenses based on a better estimate to deal with possible or certain and quantifiable responsibilities from current litigation, compensations or obligations, pending expenses for which the amount has not yet been determined, collaterals and other similar guarantees for which the Company is responsible. These are recorded at the time the responsibility or the obligation that determines the compensation or payment is generated.
3.28 Obligations related to employee termination benefits and pension commitments
Obligations towards the Company’s employees comply with the provisions of the collective bargaining agreements in force, which are formalized through collective employment agreements and individual employment.
These obligations are valued using actuarial calculations, according to the projected unit credit method which considers such assumptions as the mortality rate, employee turnover, interest rates, retirement dates, effects related to increases in employees’ salaries, as well as the effects on variations in services derived from variations in the inflation rate.
Actuarial gains and losses that may be generated by variations in defined, pre-established obligations are directly recorded in “Other comprehensive income”.
Actuarial losses and gains have their origin in deviations between the estimate and the actual behavior of actuarial assumptions or in the reformulation of established actuarial assumptions.
The above is applicable except in the United States, where our subsidiary SQM North America has established pension plans for its retired employees that are calculated by measuring the projected obligation using a net salary progressive rate net of adjustments for inflation, mortality and turnover assumptions, deducting the resulting amounts at present value. The net balance of this obligation is presented under the “Non-current provisions for employee benefits” (refer to Note 17.4).
3.29 Compensation plans
Compensation plans implemented through benefits provided in share-based payments settled in cash are recognized in the financial statements at their fair value, in accordance with IFRS 2. Changes in the fair value of options granted are recognized with a charge to payroll in the statement of income (see Note 17.6).
3.30 Revenue recognition
Revenue is an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to earn in exchange for the sale of goods and services in the regular course of business. Revenue is presented net of value added tax, estimated returns, rebates and discounts and after the elimination of sales among subsidiaries.
Revenues are recognized when the specific conditions for each income stream are met, as follows:
(a)Sale of goods
The sale of goods is recognized when the Company has delivered products to the customer, and there is no obligation pending compliance that could affect the acceptance of products by the customer. The delivery does not occur until products have been shipped to the customer or confirmed as received by the customer, and the related risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the
F-36

Table of Contents
conditions established in the sale, when the acceptance period has ended, or when there is objective evidence that those criteria required for acceptance have been met.
Sales are recognized in consideration of the price set in the sales agreement, net of volume discounts and estimated returns at the date of the sale. Volume discounts are evaluated in consideration of annual expected purchases and in accordance with the criteria defined in agreements.
(b)Sale of services
Revenue associated with the rendering of services is recognized considering the degree of completion of the service as of the date of presentation of the consolidated classified statement of financial position, provided that the result from the transaction can be estimated reliably.
(c)Income from dividends
Income from dividends is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.
3.31 Finance income and finance costs
Finance income is mainly composed of interest income from financial instruments such as term deposits and mutual fund deposits. Interest income is recognized in the statement of income at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs are mainly composed of interest on bank borrowing expenses, interest on bonds issued and interest capitalized for borrowing costs for the acquisition, construction or production or qualifying assets. Borrowing costs and bonds issued are also recognized in the statement of income using the effective interest rate method.
3.32 Current income tax and deferred
Corporate income tax for the year is determined as the sum of current and deferred income taxes from the different consolidated companies.
Current taxes are based on the application of the various types of taxes attributable to taxable income for the period. The Company periodically assesses the positions taken in the determination of taxes with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. A provision is created if it is probable that payment will be required to a taxation authority. The Company measures its tax balances based on the most likely amount or expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of uncertainty.
Differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax basis generate the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are calculated using the tax rates expected to be applicable when the assets and liabilities are realized.
In conformity with current tax regulations, the provision for corporate income tax and taxes on mining activity is recognized on an accrual basis, presenting the net balances of accumulated monthly tax provisional payments for the fiscal period and associated credits. The balances of these accounts are presented in current income taxes recoverable or current taxes payable, as applicable.
Current taxes and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities that do not arise from business combinations are recognized in the statement of net income or in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, depending on where the gains or losses that caused them were recognized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when a legally enforceable right exists to offset tax assets with tax liabilities and the deferred tax is levied by the same tax authority on the same entity.
The recognized deferred tax liabilities refer to the amount of income tax to pay in a future period, related to taxable temporary differences.
F-37

Table of Contents
The company does not recognize deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, or with interests in joint ventures, because in accordance with the standard, the following two conditions are jointly met:
i.the parent company, investor or participant is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
ii.it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Recognized deferred tax assets are income taxes recoverable in future periods, related to:
a)deductible temporary differences;
b)compensation for losses obtained in prior periods, which have not yet been subject to tax deduction; and
c)compensation for unused credits from prior periods.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets when it has the certainty that they can be offset with tax income from subsequent periods, unused tax losses or credits to date, but only when this availability of future tax income is probable and can be used for offsetting these unused tax losses or credits.
Moreover, the Company does not recognize deferred tax assets for all the deductible temporary differences that originate from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, or from joint ventures, because it is unlikely that they meet the following requirements:
(i)temporary differences are reversed in the foreseeable future; and
(ii)there is taxable profit available against which temporary differences can be used.
3.33 Operating segment reporting
IFRS 8 requires that companies adopt a management approach to disclose information on the operations generated by their operating segments. In general, this is the information that management uses internally for the evaluation of segment performance and making the decision on how to allocate resources for this purpose.
An operating segment is a group of assets and operations responsible for providing products or services subject to risks and performance that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is responsible for providing products or services in a given economic environment subject to risks and performance that are different from those of other segments operating in other economic environments.
Allocation of assets and liabilities, to each segment is not possible given that these are associated with more than one segment, except for depreciation, amortization and impairment of assets, which are directly allocated in accordance with the criteria established in the costing process for product inventories to the corresponding segments.
3.34 Primary accounting criteria, estimates and assumptions
Management is responsible for the information contained in these consolidated annual accounts, which expressly indicate that all the principles and criteria included in IFRS, as issued by the IASB, have been applied in full.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, management has made significant judgments and estimates to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments included therein. Basically, these estimates refer to:
•Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and take into consideration the expected physical life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations. (See Notes 3.21, 14 and 15).
•Impairment losses of certain assets - Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized and are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that these may have deteriorated Other assets, including property, plant and equipment,
F-38

Table of Contents
exploration assets, goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. If an impairment assessment is required, the assessment of fair value or value in use often requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in such estimates could impact on the recoverable values of these assets. Estimates are reviewed regularly by management (See Notes 3.21, 14 and 15).
•Assumptions used in calculating the actuarial amount of pension-related and severance indemnity payment benefit commitments (See Note 17).
•Contingencies – The amount recognized as a provision, including legal, contractual, constructive and other exposures or obligations, is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the related liability, including any related interest charges, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. In addition, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Therefore, the assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies based upon the best information available, relevant tax laws and other appropriate requirements (See Note 20). If the Company is unable to rationally estimate the obligation or concluded no loss is probable but it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, no provision is recorded but disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
•Volume determination for certain in-process and finished products is based on topographical measurements and technical studies that cover the different variables (density for bulk inventories and density and porosity for the remaining stock, among others), and related allowance.
•Estimates for obsolescence provisions to ensure that the carrying value of inventory is not in excess of the net realizable inventory valuation. (See Note 10).
Even though these estimates have been made on the basis of the best information available on the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, certain events may occur in the future and oblige their amendment (upwards or downwards) over the next few years, which would be made prospectively.
3.35 Government grants
The Company recognizes an unconditional government grant in the income statement as part of other income when the associated cash flows are received.
Note 4 Financial risk management
4.1 Financial risk management policy
The Company’s financial risk management policy is focused on safeguarding the stability and sustainability of the Company and its subsidiaries with regard to all such relevant financial uncertainty components.
The Company’s operations are subject to certain financial risk factors that may affect its financial position or results. The most significant risk exposures are market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk, among others.
There could also be additional risks, which are either unknown or known but not currently deemed to be significant, which could also affect the Company’s business operations, its business, financial position, or statement of income.
The financial risk management structure includes identifying, determining, analyzing, quantifying, measuring and controlling these events. Management and in particular, Finance Management, is responsible for constantly assessing the financial risk.
F-39

4.2 Risk Factors
(a)Credit risk
A global economic contraction may have potentially negative effects on the financial assets of the Company, which are primarily made up of financial investments and trade receivables, and the impact on of our customers could extend the payment terms of the Company’s receivables by increasing its exposure to credit risk. Although measures are taken to minimize the risk, this global economic situation could mean losses with adverse material effects on the business, financial position or statement of income of the Company’s operations.
Trade receivables: to mitigate credit risk, the Company maintains active control of collection and requires the use of credit insurance. Credit insurance covering the risk of insolvency and unpaid invoices correspond to 90% of all receivables with third parties. The credit risk associated with receivables is analyzed in Note 12.2 b) and the related accounting policy can be found in Note 3.6.
Bank promissory notes: These are negotiable promissory notes issued by a bank payable upon maturity at the request of customers to guarantee collection of the Company. Bank promissory notes are accepted based on the classification used by the industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited (ICBC), which provides a list of accepted banks for clearing and/or collection of these documents based on their credit rating.
The classification used for bank promissory notes is as follows:
–S: Large Banks
–T: Small-to-medium-sized banks
–T1: Financial services companies
–Others

ICBC Classification |  | As of December 31, 2024 |  | As of December 31, 2023
S |  | 5,894 |  | 112,545
T |  | 13,626 |  | 13,218
T1 |  | 12,744 |  | 168
Others |  | 7,476 |  | -
Total |  | 39,740 |  | 125,931

Concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade receivables are reduced, owing to the Company’s large number of clients and their distribution around the globe.
No significant modifications have been made during the period to risk models or parameters used in comparison to December 31, 2023, and no modifications have been made to contractual cash flows that have been significant during this period, except for considering in December 31, 2023 the incorporation of cash flows received from insurance claims in the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The effect of this change was not significant to the overall financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
Financial investments: correspond to time deposits whose maturity date is greater than 90 days and less than 360 days from the date of investment, so they are not exposed to excessive market risks. The counterparty risk in implementation of financial operations is assessed on an ongoing basis for all financial institutions in which the Company holds financial investments.

(b)Exchange risk
The functional currency of the company is the US dollar, due to its influence on the determination of price levels, its relation to the cost of sales and considering that a significant part of the Company’s business is conducted in this currency. However, the global nature of the Company’s business generates an exposure to exchange rate variations of several currencies with the US dollar. Therefore, the Company maintains hedge contracts to mitigate the exposure generated by its main mismatches (net between assets and liabilities) in currencies other than the US dollar against the exchange rate
F-41

Table of Contents
variation, updating these contracts periodically depending on the amount of mismatches to be covered in these currencies. Occasionally, subject to the approval of the Board, the Company ensures short-term cash flows from certain specific line items in currencies other than the US dollar.
A significant portion of the Company’s costs, especially salary payments, are associated with the Peso. Therefore, an increase or decrease in its exchange rate with the US dollar will provoke a respective decrease or increase in these accounting costs, which would be reflected in the Company’s statement of income. By the fourth quarter of 2024, approximately US$831 million accumulated in expenses are associated with the Peso.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held derivative instruments classified as hedges of foreign exchange risks associated with 100% of all the bond obligations denominated in UF, for a net liability fair value of US$25.83 million, this significant variation is explained primarily by the USD/CLP exchange rate observed at the end of the period. As of December 31, 2023, this value corresponds to a net asset amounting US$ 2.52 million.
Furthermore, on of December 31, 2024, the Company held derivative instruments classified as hedges of foreign exchange risks associated with 100% of all nominative term deposits in UF and in pesos, at a net asset fair value of US$15.40 million. As of December 31, 2023, a net liability fair value was recognized for an amount of US$18.30 million.
The Company contracted derivatives classified as foreign exchange hedges for all the expected disbursements in Australian dollars for the Mt Holland project (See note 8.5), to hedge its exposure to cash flow variations. The fair value of this hedge was a net asset of US$ 1.44 million as of December 31, 2023.
The Company had the following derivative contracts as of December 31, 2024 (at the absolute value of the sum of their notional values), to hedge the difference between its assets and liabilities: US$ 5.90 million CLP/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 40.35 million Euro/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 28.92 million in South African rand/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 302.65 million in Chinese renminbi/US dollar derivative contracts, US$ 7.79 million in Australian dollar/US dollar derivative contracts and US$ 8.00 million in other currencies.
These derivative contracts are held with domestic and foreign banks, which have the following credit ratings as of December 31, 2024.

(c)Interest rate risk
Interest rate fluctuations, primarily due to the uncertain future behavior of markets, may have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. Significant increases in the rate could make it difficult to access financing at attractive rates for the Company’s investment projects.
The Company maintains current and non-current financial debt at fixed rates and SOFR rate plus spread.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has 7.1% of its financial liabilities subject to variations SOFR rate.
F-42

Table of Contents
(d)Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the funds needed to comply with payment obligations. The Company’s objective is to maintain financial flexibility through a comfortable balance between fund requirements and cash flows from regular business operations, bank borrowings, bonds, short-term investments and marketable securities, among others. For this purpose, the Company keeps a high liquidity ratio 2, which enables it to cover current obligations with clearance. (As of December 31, 2024 this was 2.51 and 2.50 for December 31, 2023).
The Company has an important capital expense program which is subject to change over time.
On the other hand, world financial markets go through periods of contraction and expansion that are unforeseeable in the long-term and may affect the Company’s access to financial resources. Such factors may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.
The Company constantly monitors the matching of its obligations with its investments, taking due care of the maturities of both, from a conservative perspective, as part of this financial risk management strategy. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unused, available revolving credit facilities with banks, for a total of US$1,676 million.
Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid mutual funds with an AAA risk rating.

(3)As of December 31, 2024, there are no collateral guarantees. As of December 31, 2023, collateral guarantees were recorded for an amount of ThUS$ 5,590.
(4)During the first quarter of 2023, the Company made an investment of ThUS$13,480 to acquire a 19.99% interest in Azure Minerals Limited (a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange). The Company and Azure have entered into an acquisition agreement

under which the Company has the right to choose a director and acquire 25% of all lithium products in which Azure has an interest on commercially competitive market terms. During the third and fourth quarter of 2023, the Company invested an additional ThUS$12,904 and ThUS$4,317, respectively, to maintain its ownership interest.
On May 9, 2024, the Company acquired an additional share in this entity, reaching a 50% ownership stake (for more details, see Note 9.4, section (a)). Consequently, this investment was reclassified under the joint ventures category. At the time of reclassification, the cumulative valuation recorded in the reserve for gains and losses on financial assets was transferred to retained earnings, totaling MUS$186,809. This amount reflects the total change in the fair value assessment from the initial acquisition of 19.99% to reaching the 50% ownership stake.
(5) In the first quarter of 2024, the Company invested an additional ThUS$4,380 in Altilium Metals Ltd., bringing the total investment to ThUS$ 12,000 and increasing its interest in this entity to 11%. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company invested ThUS$ 7,620 to acquire a 3% interest in Altilium Metals Ltd.
(6) In the first quarter of 2024, the Company contributed ThUS$ 1,285 to acquire a 14.86% interest in Salinity Solutions Ltd. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company contributed ThUS$ 3,000 to acquire a 6.82% interest in Electric Era Technologies Inc.
(7) During the third quarter of 2024 and as a result of the Company's loss of significant influence over this investment (for further details see note 8.3 letter a), the investment in SAS Adionics previously held as investment in associates was reclassified to other non-current financial assets when the Company irrevocably classified it as equity financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Considering that these investments (5) (6) and (7) are recent, their carrying amount is estimated to approximate their fair value.

(1)During the third quarter of 2022, the Company signed an agreement for an option to potentially acquire a battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate plant with a production capacity of approximately 20,000 tons per year from lithium sulfate salts. In addition, the transaction secures rights to adjacent land for future expansion.
The transaction became effective in April 2024, with the acquisition of all the shares of Sichuan Dixin New Energy Co. Ltd. and the recognition of an intangible asset for ThUS$ 10,130 (see note 14, Intangible assets). Regarding the deposit of CNY 204.5 million (ThUS$ 28,152) granted to the seller in the first quarter of 2023, ThUS$ 16,071 has been reimbursed with the remaining amount being used as a guarantee while certain requirements established in the contract are fulfilled.

The Company recouped the CCS with Santander Bank who had hedged the Series Q bond, by moving the UF/USD exchange rate upwards. This change increased the USD value of the bond by ThUS$16,440 and its interest payable. Santander Bank paid the company ThUS$17,320 on August 18, 2023 in exchange for this amendment.

Effectiveness
The Company uses CCS, Forwards and IRS to hedge the potential financial risk associated with exchange rate and interest rate volatility. The objective is to hedge the exchange rate and inflation financial risks associated with bond obligations, exchange rate financial risks associated with investments in Chilean pesos, exchange rate financial risk associated with projects under construction in Australian dollars and interest rate financial risk associated with bank loans. Hedges are documented and qualitatively assessed to demonstrate their effectiveness based on a comparison of their critical terms.
The hedges used by the Company as of the reporting date are highly effective given that the amounts, currencies, exchange dates and rates of the hedged item and the hedge are aligned, maintaining a close economic relationship.

12.7 Fair value measurement of finance assets and liabilities
The fair value hierarchy is detailed as follows:
(a)Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
(b)Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
(c)Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Mineral resource exploration, evaluation and Exploitation expenditure
Given the nature of operations of the Company and the type of exploration it undertakes, disbursements for exploration can be found in 4 stages: Execution, economically feasible, not economically feasible and in exploitation:
(a)Not economically feasible: Exploration and evaluation disbursements, once finalized and concluded to be not economically feasible, will be charged to income. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023 there were no disbursements for this concept.
(b)Execution: Disbursements for exploration and evaluation under implementation and therefore prior to determination of economic feasibility, are presented as part of property, plant and equipment as constructions in progress. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, this amounts to ThUS$14,787 and ThUS$9,062.
(c) Economically feasible: Reimbursements for exploration and evaluation whose study concluded that its economic viability is viable are classified in “Other non-financial assets, non-current.”

Total |  | 65,607 |  |  | 62,006 |

17.2 Policies on defined benefit plan
This policy is applied to all benefits received for services provided by the Company’s employees. This is divided as follows:
a)Short-term benefits for active employees are represented by salaries, social welfare benefits, paid time off, sickness and other types of leave, profit sharing and incentives and non-monetary benefits; e.g., healthcare service, housing, subsidized or free goods or services. These will be paid in a term which does not exceed twelve months. The Company maintains incentive programs for its employees, which are calculated based on the net result at the close of each period by applying a factor obtained from an evaluation based on their personal performance, the Company’s performance and other short-term and long-term indicators.
b)Staff severance indemnities are agreed and payable based on the final salary, calculated in accordance with each year of service to the Company, with certain maximum limits in respect of either the number of years or in monetary terms. In general, this benefit is payable when the employee or worker ceases to provide his/her services to the Company and there are a number of different circumstances through which a person can be eligible for it, as indicated in the respective agreements; e.g. retirement, dismissal, voluntary retirement, incapacity or disability, death, etc. See Note 17.3.
c)Obligations after employee retirement, described in Note 17.4.
d)Retention bonuses for a group of Company executives, described in Note 17.6.
17.3 Other long-term benefits
The actuarial assessment method has been used to calculate the Company’s obligations with respect to staff severance indemnities, which relate to defined benefit plans consisting of days of remuneration per year served at the time of retirement under conditions agreed in the respective agreements established between the Company and its employees.
F-88

Table of Contents
Under this benefit plan, the Company retains the obligation to pay staff severance indemnities related to retirement, without establishing a separate fund with specific assets, which is referred to as not funded.
Benefit payment conditions
The staff severance indemnity benefit relates to remuneration days for years worked for the Company without a limit being imposed in regard of amount of salary or years of service. It applies when employees cease to work for the Company because they are made redundant or in the event of their death. This benefit is applicable up to a maximum age of 65 for men and 60 for women, which are the usual retirement ages according to the Chilean pensions system as established in Decree Law 3,500 of 1980.
Methodology
The determination of the defined benefit obligation is made under the requirements of IAS 19 “Employee benefits”.
17.4 Post-employment benefit obligations
Our subsidiary SQM NA, together with its employees established a pension plan until 2002 called the “SQM North America Retirement Income Plan”. This obligation is calculated measuring the expected future forecast staff severance indemnity obligation using a net salary gradual rate of restatements for inflation, mortality and turnover assumptions, discounting the resulting amounts at present value using the interest rate defined by the authorities.
For workers under contract, since 2003, SQM NA offers benefits related to pension plans based on the 401-K system to its employees, which does not generate obligations for the Company.
A settlement was reflected in the last quarter of 2022 for the purchase of annuities by the pension plan for all inactive participants.

(1)Payment Obligations for the lease contract with CORFO: These correspond to the obligations assumed in the Lease Agreement. Our subsidiary SQM Salar holds exclusive rights to exploit the mineral resources in an area covering approximately 140,000 hectares of land in the Salar de Atacama in northern Chile, of which SQM Salar is only entitled to exploit the mineral resources in 81,920 hectares. These rights are owned by Corfo and leased to SQM Salar pursuant to the Lease Agreement. Corfo cannot unilaterally amend the Lease Agreement and the Project Agreement, and the rights to exploit the resources cannot be transferred. The Lease Agreement establishes that SQM Salar is responsible for making quarterly lease payments to Corfo according to specified percentages of the value of production of minerals extracted from the Salar de Atacama brines, maintaining Corfo’s rights over the Mining Exploitation Concessions and making annual payments to the Chilean government for such concession rights. The Lease Agreement was entered into in 1993 and expires on December 31, 2030.
On January 17, 2018, SQM and CORFO reached an agreement to end an arbitration process directed by the arbitrator, Mr. Héctor Humeres Noguer, in case 1954-2014 of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of Santiago Chamber of Commerce and other cases related to it.
The agreement signed in January 2018, includes important amendments to the lease agreement and project agreement signed between CORFO and SQM in 1993. The main modifications became effective on April 10, 2018 and require (i) higher lease payments as a result of increased lease rates associated with the sale of the different products produced in the Salar de Atacama, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and potassium chloride; (ii) SQM Salar commits to

On May 31, 2024, the Company reported having entered into an association agreement with Codelco to develop extractive and productive activities to produce lithium products, potassium products and other products extracted from Corfo's properties in the Salar de Atacama, through the merger by incorporation of Codelco's subsidiary, Minera Tarar SpA, into the Company's subsidiary, SQM Salar SpA, subject to the terms established in the Association Agreement.
The effectiveness of the association agreement is subject to a series of conditions precedent, as well as the execution of contracts with Corfo to (i) increase the amount of lithium that SQM Salar SpA can exploit from the Salar de Atacama between the years 2025 and 2030 and (ii) establish the right to exploit lithium from the Salar de Atacama between the years 2031 and 2060.
To date there are no impacts to the consolidated financial statements arising from this agreement.

20.3 Tax Contingencies
Claims for the application of the specific tax on mining activities associated with lithium exploitation.
The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (SII) has sought to extend the specific tax on mining activities to lithium mining, which cannot be concessioned under the legal system. As of December 31, 2023, SQM had paid a total of US$986.3 for specific tax on mining activities applied to lithium related to tax years 2012 to 2023 (financial years 2011 to 2022). SQM Salar has filed seven tax claims against the SII. The amount paid included US$59.5 million in over-assessed amounts, US$818.0 million in disputed taxes (net of the corporate income tax impact), and US$108.8 million in interest and penalties. On April 5, 2024, the Santiago Court of Appeals issued a ruling on one of the tax claims, case No. 312-2022, overturning the ruling previously issued by the Santiago Metropolitan Region Tax and Customs Court, which had upheld SQM Salar’s action for annulment on public law grounds regarding tax assessments for tax years 2017 and 2018. Although this ruling by the Santiago Court of Appeals does not affect the other claims filed by SQM Salar against the SII and is still subject to appeal by SQM Salar, it prompted a review of the accounting treatment of the tax claims by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company recognized a tax expense of US$1,106.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 (US$926.7 million for financial years 2011 to 2022, US$162.8 million for the financial year 2023, and US$16.7 million for financial year 2024). This expense reflects the potential impact of the Santiago Court of Appeals ruling on the tax claims. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-current tax receivables of US$59.5 million.
The claims are as follows.
(a)On August 26, 2016, a tax claim was filed before the Third Tax and Customs Court of the Metropolitan Region against IRS assessments 169, 170, 171 and 172, for the tax years 2012 to 2014. The amount in dispute is US$17.8 million, where (i) US$11.5 million is the tax claim, after its effect on corporate income taxes and (ii) US$6.3 million is associated interest and penalties. On October 30, 2024, a ruling was issued rejecting the tax claim and the deadline to file an appeal is pending.
(b)On March 24, 2017, a tax claim was filed before the Third Tax and Customs Court of the Metropolitan Region against resolution 156 issued by the Chilean IRS for the tax year 2015. The amount in dispute is US$3.2 million is the tax claim, after its effect on corporate income taxes.

(d)On July 15, 2021, SQM Salar filed before the First Tax and Customs Court of the Metropolitan Region a tax annulment and claim against assessments 65 and 66 for the tax years 2017 and 2018.

On November 7, 2022, the First Tax and Customs Court upheld SQM Salar's claim and ordered the annulment of these tax assessments. On April 5, 2024, the Santiago Court of Appeals reversed the first instance ruling insofar as it accepted the annulment suit aimed at challenging the liquidations, accepting the claim only in terms of the miscalculated items recognized by the Chilean IRS.
(e)On June 30, 2023, SQM Salar filed before the First Tax and Customs Court of the Metropolitan Region a tax annulment and claim against assessment 23 for the tax year 2019.

The trial is currently at the discussion stage.
(h)On August 14, 2024, SQM Salar filed an annulment lawsuit on public law grounds and a tax claim before the Santiago Metropolitan Region Third Tax and Customs Court against Settlement No. 67 for the tax year 2023. The disputed amount totals ThUS$785, updated to the date on which the payment was made, of which MMUS$10.9 correspond to over-assessed amounts, ThUS$691.1 corresponds to the claimed tax, andThUS$83 corresponds to interest and penalties. The case is in the discussion phase.
The details of resolutions and settlements with pending claims are provided below:
The Chilean IRS has not issued a settlement for differences on specific mining tax with respect to the 2024 tax year (2023 business year). If the Chilean IRS uses criteria similar to that used in previous years, then it may issue settlements in the future covering this year.

Note 22 Reportable segments
22.1 Reportable segments
(a)General information:
The amount of each item presented in each operating segment is equal to that reported to the highest authority that makes decisions regarding the operation, in order to decide on the allocation of resources to the defined segments and to assess its performance.
These operating segments mentioned are consistent with the way the Company is managed and how results will be reported by the Company. These segments reflect separate operating results that are regularly reviewed by the executive responsible for operational decisions in order to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance (See Note 22.2).
The performance of each segment is measured based on net income and revenues. Inter-segment sales are made using terms and conditions at current market rates.
(b)Factors used to identify segments on which a report should be presented:
The segments covered in the report are strategic business units that offer different products and services. These are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
(c)Description of the types of products and services from which each reportable segment obtains its income from ordinary activities
The operating segments are as follows:
(i)Specialty plant nutrients
(ii)Iodine and its derivatives
(iii)Lithium and its derivatives
(iv)Industrial chemicals
(v)Potassium
(vi)Other products and services
(d)Description of income sources for all the other segments
Information regarding assets, liabilities, gains and expenses that cannot be assigned to the segments indicated above, due to the nature of production processes, is included under the "Unallocated amounts” category of the disclosed information.
F-111

Table of Contents
(e)Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of results of reportable segments and the result of the entity before the expense or income tax expense of incomes
The information reported in the segments is extracted from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and therefore there is no need to prepare reconciliations between the data mentioned above and those reported in the respective segments, according to what is stated in paragraph 28 of IFRS 8, "Operating Segments".
For the allocation of inventory valuation costs, we identify the direct expenses (can be directly allocated to products) and the common expenses (belong to co-production processes, for example common leaching expenses for production of Iodine and Nitrates), Direct costs are directly allocated to the product and the common costs are distributed according to percentages that consider different variables in their determination, such as margins, rotation of inventories, revenue, production etc.
The allocation of other common costs that are not included in the inventory valuation process, but go straight to the cost of sales, use similar criteria: the costs associated with a product or sales in particular are assigned to that particular product or sales, and the common costs associated with different products or business lines are allocated according to the sales.
(f)Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of assets of reportable segments and the Company´s assets
Assets are not shown classified by segments, as this information is not readily available, some of these assets are not separable by the type of activity by which they are affected since this information is not used by management in decision-making with respect to resources to be allocated to each defined segment. All assets are disclosed in the "unallocated amounts" category.
(g)Description of the nature of the differences between measurements of liabilities of reportable segments and the Company’s liabilities
Liabilities are not shown classified by segments, as this information is not readily available, some of these liabilities are not separable by the type of activity by which they are affected, since this information is not used by management in decision-making regarding resources to be allocated to each defined segment. All liabilities are disclosed in the "unallocated amounts" category.

(i)Explanation of the relationship between (expense) benefit for tax purposes and accounting income.
Based on IAS 12, paragraph 81, letter “c”, the company has estimated that the method that discloses the most significant information for users of the financial statements is the numeric conciliation between the tax benefit (expense) and the result of multiplying the accounting profit by the current rate in Chile. The aforementioned choice is based on the fact that the Company and subsidiaries established in Chile generate a large part of the Company’s tax benefit (expense).

(j)Tax periods potentially subject to verification:
The Group’s Companies are potentially subject to income tax audits by tax authorities in each country These audits are limited to a number of interim tax periods, which, in general, when they elapse, give rise to the expiration of these inspections.
Tax audits, due to their nature, are often complex and may require several years. Below, we provide a summary of tax periods that are potentially subject to verification, in accordance with the tax regulations in force in the country of origin:
(i)Chile
According to article 200 of Decree Law No 830, the taxes will be reviewed for any deficiencies in terms of payment and to generate any taxes that might arise. There is a 3-year prescriptive period for such review, dating from the expiration of the legal deadline when payment should have been made. This prescriptive period can be extended to 6 years for the revision of taxes subject to declaration, when such declaration has not been filed or has been presented with maliciously false information.
