Production and Operating Costs
 

In 3Q17, Buenaventura's consolidated gold production was 115,154 ounces; a 20% quarter on quarter increase as compared to 96,271 gold ounces in 3Q16. This increase is due to new production from Tambomayo which offset a decrease in production at La Zanja mine. Silver consolidated production increased by 15% during 3Q17 compared to 3Q16 primarily due to an additional 678,828 ounces in production coming from Tambomayo and increased production at El Brocal; 1,015,170 in 3Q17 vs. 468,806 in 3Q16. Lead consolidated production increased 36% compared to 3Q16 due to a 59% increase in production at the Uchucchacua and a 59% increase at the El Brocal mines.

Buenaventura´s 9M17 consolidated gold production increased 8% compared to 9M16. Silver consolidated production was 11% higher than 9M16, primarily due to an additional 974,207 ounces in production coming from Tambomayo and to a 3,036,835 ounce, or 106% increase, in production at El Brocal. Buenaventura´s consolidated lead production increased 33% in the 9M17 compared to 9M16. This total increase is due to a 43% increase production from the Uchuchacua and 81% increase in production from the El Brocal (81%) mines. Consolidated zinc production increased 10% in 9M17 compared to 9M16, primarily due to a 57% increase in production from Uchucchacua.

At Cerro Verde (19.58% owned by Buenaventura), 3Q17 copper production was 128,644 MT; 25,189 MT of which is attributable to Buenaventura;  a 7% increase compared to 120,124 in 3Q16 with 23,520 MT attributable to Buenaventura.

During 3Q17, Cerro Verde reported a net loss of US$155.8 million compared to net income of US$48.3 million in 3Q16. This decrease was primarily due to pre-tax charges of $376.6 million for prior assessments and potential royalty and related assessments for December 2006-2013, as a result of the Peruvian Supreme Court Ruling.

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$41.0 million in 3Q17.

Copper production guidance at Cerro Verde for 2017 is 500k MT – 550k MT.

Update of the Cerro Verde Royalty Dispute:

Cerro Verde began operation with copper oxides but later incorporated copper sulfides which were found within the same deposit.
Cerro Verde signed an initial Tax Stability Agreement (C.E.T, in Spanish) with the Peruvian Government for the 1998-2013 period.
o
Cerro Verde has contested royalty assessments by the Peruvian Tax Authority for periods beginning December 2006 on the basis that they were exempt under 1998 Stability Agreement.
o
In October 2017, the Peruvian Supreme Court issued a ruling on the 2008 assessments that was adverse to Cerro Verde's position.
o
As a result, Cerro Verde recorded pre-tax charges of US$ 376.6 M in 3Q for prior assessments and potential royalty and related assessments for December 2006-2013.
o
Cerro Verde paid US$ 135 M under protest through September 30, 2017.
o
Cerro Verde acted in good faith and is evaluating the best final legal alternative.

Cerro Verde signed another Stability Agreement (C.E.T.) which is currently in place (2014-2029).
o
The new 15-year Stability Agreement became effective on January 1, 2014. The company has been paying royalties thereunder.

This non-recurrent expense affected Cerro Verde´s:
o
EBITDA by US$ 226.1 million
o
Net Income by US$ 376.6 million
 
COIMOLACHE (Tantahuatay operation)

At Coimolache (40.10% owned by Buenaventura), 3Q17 attributable contribution to net income was US$5.6 million, as compared toUS$4.9 million in 3Q16.

Note:
EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) consists of earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share in associated companies, net, loss on currency exchange difference, other, net, provision for workers' profit sharing and provision for long-term officers' compensation.

EBITDA (including associated companies) consists of EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations), plus (1) Buenaventura's equity share of EBITDA (Yanacocha) (2) Buenaventura's equity share of EBITDA (Cerro Verde), plus (3) Buenaventura's equity share of EBITDA (Coimolache). All EBITDA mentioned were similarly calculated using financial information provided to Buenaventura by the associated companies.

Buenaventura presents EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) to provide further information with respect to its operating performance and the operating performance of its equity investees, the affiliates. EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) are not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider EBITDA (Buenaventura Direct Operations) and EBITDA (including affiliates) as alternatives to operating income or net income determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of Buenaventura's, affiliates operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

APPENDIX 4: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales and Cost Applicable to Sales per Unit Sold
Cost applicable to sales consists of cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus selling expenses. Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine consists of cost applicable to sales for a particular metal produced at a given mine divided by the volume of such metal produced at such mine in the specified period. We note that cost applicable to sales is not directly comparable to the cash operating cost figures disclosed in previously furnished earnings releases.
Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We consider Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold to be key measures in managing and evaluating our operating performance. These measures are widely reported in the precious metals industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have standardized meanings. You should not consider Cost applicable to sales or Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold as alternatives to cost of sales determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our operating performance.  Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are calculated without adjusting for by-product revenue amounts.
The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units.  The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 by reference to the reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization (by mine and mineral), Selling Expenses (by mine and metal) expenses and Exploration in units in operations (by mine and mineral) to consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, consolidated Selling Expenses and consolidated Exploration in units in operations expenses, respectively, set forth below.
