01.03.2023  |  Business Wire

Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. ("Buenaventura" or "the Company") (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru's largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the fourth quarter (4Q22) and full year (FY22) ended December 31, 2022. All figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on a non-GAAP basis and are stated in U.S. dollars (US$).

Fourth Quarter and Full year 2022 Highlights:

  • 4Q22 EBITDA from direct operations was US$ 76.9 million, compared to US$ 59.7 million reported in 4Q21. FY22 EBITDA from direct operations reached US$ 473.1 million; a significant increase as compared to US$ 204.4 million for the FY21, and includes US$ 300 million resulting from the sale of Buenaventura's stake in Yanacocha.
  • 4Q22 net income reached US$ 68.7 million, compared to a US$ 222.3 million net loss for the same period in 2021. The 4Q21 result includes a net loss of US$ 301 million from discontinued operations, mainly due to the reclassification of Buenaventura's interest in Yanacocha. FY22 net income was US$ 602.9 million, compared to a US$ 262.8 million net loss for the FY21.
  • 4Q22 exploration at operating units increased to US$ 27.2 million, compared to US$ 15.5 million in 4Q21. This increase was aligned with the Company's revised strategy to increase its focus on exploration in order to extend LOM. FY22 exploration at operating units increased to US$ 80.8 million, from US$ 56.4 million in FY21.
  • Buenaventura's cash position reached US$ 253.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Net Debt decreased to US$ 484.6 million with an average maturity of 3.4 years.
  • 4Q22 capital expenditures were US$ 58.8 million, compared to US$ 32.1 million for the same period in 2021. FY22 capital expenditures reached US$ 152.0 million, compared to US$ 90.3 million in FY21. FY22 CAPEX includes US$ 34.7 million related to the San Gabriel Project and US$ 30.4 million related to the Yumpag Project.
  • On December 20, 2022, Cerro Verde paid a total dividend of US$ 250 million. Buenaventura received US$ 49.8 million relative to its stake in Cerro Verde. The total dividend received by Buenaventura in FY22 was US$ 79.1 million.
  • Mining operations at La Zanja were halted in October 2022 when Phase 4 mining was completed. However, leaching will continue to the extent that this remains profitable while Buenaventura continues exploration related to the underground Cu/Au sulfide project.
  • Buenaventura's Board of Directors has proposed a dividend payment in the amount of US$ 0.073 per share/ADS, aligned with the Company's commitment to shareholder value.
