**NOTE 3 — INVENTORIES:**

Inventories were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <br>**(in millions)** | **At June 30,** <br>**2025** | **At December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Inventory, current: |  |  |
| Metals at average cost: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Finished goods | $56.6 | $55.9 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Work-in-process | 303.9 | 343.8 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Ore stockpiles on leach pads  | 228.3 | 217.2 |
| Supplies at average cost | 416.3 | 431.9 |
| Total current inventory | $1005.2 | $1048.9 |
| Inventory, long-term: |  |  |
| Ore stockpiles on leach pads | $1149.3 | $1145.8 |

---

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, total leaching costs capitalized as non-current inventory of ore stockpiles on leach pads amounted to $128.2 million and $128.8 million, respectively. Leaching inventories recognized in cost of sales amounted to $113.6 million and $107.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES:**

The income tax provision and the effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Statutory income tax provision | $930.0 | $852.3 |
| Peruvian royalty | 33.3 | 29.1 |
| Mexican royalty | 94.7 | 75.7 |
| Peruvian special mining tax | 50.7 | 45.0 |
| Total income tax provision | $1108.7 | $1002.1 |
| Effective income tax rate | 36.7% | 37.3% |

---

These provisions include income taxes for Peru, Mexico and the United States. The Mexican royalty, the Peruvian royalty and the Peruvian special mining tax are included in the income tax provision. The decrease in the effective income tax rate in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable to uncertain tax positions recorded in the U.S., Peruvian and Mexican jurisdictions.

Peruvian royalty and special mining tax: The Company has accrued $84.0 million and $74.1 million of royalty charge and special mining tax as part of the income tax provision for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Mexican mining royalty: The Company has accrued $94.7 million and $75.7 million of royalty taxes as part of the income tax provision for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in 2025 over 2024 is partially attributable to the increase in the mining royalty rate, and increased sales due to the impact of metal prices. As previously reported, effective January 1, 2025, the rates for the mining royalty and the additional royalty increased from 7.5% to 8.5%, and from 0.5% to 1%, respectively.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes: In the second quarter of 2025, the Company made payments for uncertain tax positions of $35.4 million in the Peruvian jurisdiction to avoid potential further interest and penalties related to the 2018 tax year that is still open. The Company also recorded current and non-current liabilities for the Peruvian jurisdiction that increased the tax expense by approximately $13.9 million. The Company has a net current liability of $21.8 million in the Peruvian jurisdiction, which represent anticipated cash payments within 12 months.

U.S. Tax Law updates:

On July 4, 2025, "An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14" (the "Act") – and commonly referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" ("OBBBA") was signed into law. The Act includes changes to both international and domestic tax provisions but did not change the overall corporate tax rate. The Act reduces the deduction percentages for some income inclusions, reduces foreign income taxes deemed paid and limits deductions that are allocated and apportioned to the foreign tax credit limitation within the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") renamed Net CFC Tested Income ("NCTI"). The Act increases the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT") rate. The Act makes changes to the foreign tax credit provisions regarding the allocation and apportionment of foreign taxes; the treatment of certain dividends; and the inclusion of income from Controlled Foreign Corporations (CFC's). The Company estimates that these taxes and the enacted changes will not be material, but the Company will continue to monitor U.S. Tax policy regarding this new legislation.

For calendar year companies, the Act must be recognized in the financial statements in the third quarter of 2025. The impact of changes in the tax law on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will be recognized discretely in continuing operations. Any impact on current taxes payable related to ordinary income will be included in the annual effective tax rate in the period of enactment, which is the third quarter of 2025.

Pillar Two updates: Large multinational businesses with more than €750 million in total revenue must pay a minimum effective tax rate under Pillar Two of 15% on taxable income arising in each jurisdiction where they operate. Certain provisions of Pillar Two took effect January 1, 2024, while others went into effect January 1, 2025. If jurisdictions want to implement Pillar Two they will need to do so through domestic legislation. The countries in which the Company has significant operations have yet to enact Pillar Two into law and have not formally announced plans to implement these rules. Currently there is no impact to the Company but the Company will continue to monitor these developments and analyze any potential impact that Pillar Two may have on future results.

**NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:**

The Company has entered into certain transactions in the ordinary course of business with parties that are controlling shareholders or their affiliates. These transactions include the lease of office space, air and railroad transportation, construction services, energy supply, and other products and services related to mining and refining. The Company lends and borrows funds among affiliates for acquisitions and other corporate purposes. These financial transactions bear interest and are subject to review and approval by senior management, as are all related party transactions. Article Nine of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company prohibits the Company from engaging in a Material Affiliate Transaction that was not the subject of prior review by a committee of the Board of Directors with at least three members, each of whom is independent, and defines a Material Affiliate Transaction as a transaction or series of related transactions between Grupo Mexico or one of its affiliates (other than the Company or its subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Company or one of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, that involves consideration of more than $10.0 million in the aggregate. It is the Company's policy that (i) a Material Affiliate Transaction not be entered into or continued without the review and approval by the Audit Committee or its subcommittee of related party transactions comprised of independent directors,(ii) any potential related party transaction process with aggregate consideration

**NOTE 6 — FINANCING:**

Minera Mexico S.A. de C.V. Notes:

On February 12, 2025, SCC's subsidiary, Minera Mexico S.A. de C.V., issued $1.0 billion of fixed-rate senior notes. This debt was issued in one tranche, due in 2032 at an annual interest rate of 5.625%. Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to finance Minera Mexico's capital expenditures and (ii) for general corporate purposes, in each case in compliance with applicable law. The notes were issued with an underwriters' discount of $6.2 million. Additionally, issuance costs of $6.4 million associated with these notes were paid and deferred. The unamortized balance of the discount and the costs are presented net of the carrying value of the debt issued and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan.

The notes constitute general unsecured obligations of Minera Mexico.

In connection with the transaction, on February 12, 2025, Minera Mexico entered into a supplemental indenture with Computershare Trust Company N.A., as trustee, which provides for the issuance and sets forth the terms of the notes described above. The indenture contains covenants that limit Minera Mexico's ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness; engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions; and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances or transfers of all or substantially all of Minera Mexico's assets.

Credit risk rating:

In February 2025, Moody's investors service assigned its Baa1 as the debt rating on the new notes issued. Also on February 2025, Fitch and Standard & Poor's ratings services assigned its 'BBB+', as the debt rating on the new notes issued.

Debt repayment:

On April 22, 2025, the Company made a payment of $509.7 million related to the first tranche of the fixed-rate senior unsecured notes issued on April 2015. This included the principal payment of $500 million and $9.7 million of accrued interest as of the aforementioned payment date.

**NOTE 7 — LEASES:**

The Company has operating leases for power generating facilities, vehicles and properties. The Company recognizes leasing expenses for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company's leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to eight years, and do not include options to extend the leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain options to purchase the leased assets or to terminate the leases before the expiration date. In addition, the Company's lease contracts have no material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As none of the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Company's leases stipulate an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's leases is approximately six years, and the weighted average discount rate for these leases is 4.92%.

The operating lease expense recognized in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was classified as follows (in millions):

**NOTE 8 — ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION:**

Peruvian operations:

The Company maintains an asset retirement obligation for its mining properties in Peru, as required by the Peruvian Mine Closure Law. In accordance with the requirements of this law, the Company's closure plans were approved by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MINEM"). The closure cost recognized for this liability includes the cost, as outlined in its closure plans, of dismantling the Toquepala and Cuajone concentrators, the Ilo smelter and refinery, and the shops and auxiliary facilities at the three units. As part of the closure plans, the Company is required to provide annual guarantees over the estimated life of the mines, based on a present value approach, and to furnish the funds for the asset retirement obligation. This law requires a review of closing plans every five years.

Currently, the Company has pledged the value of its Lima office complex for 27% of the guarantee and with a stand-by letter of credit for the other 73% as a security for this obligation. Through January 2025, the Company has provided total guarantees of $98.5 million.

On July 20, 2021, the Peruvian Government published Law 31347, which requires companies in the production stage to set aside additional guarantees for progressive closure of its operations. The resources that back these guarantees will be returned to the Company when activities cease and the regulatory agency verifies that all closure measures have been satisfactorily completed. Under this Law, companies must include activities for environmental remediation within the closure schedule and assume costs associated with environmental impacts that are identified during audits. On March 19, 2025, the regulation attached to this Law was published. This new regulation establishes a three-year period to update

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

the guarantee constitution table, including the main components of progressive closure. The Company is initiating the corresponding actions to comply with this new requirement within the established time frame, but does not expect this Law to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In April 2024, the Company adjusted its estimate for the asset retirement obligation due to an update of the closure plan for its Ilo facility. The effect was a decrease of $3.2 million in the asset retirement obligation.

Mexican operations:

The Company has recognized an estimated asset retirement obligation for its mining properties in Mexico as part of its environmental commitment. Even though there is currently no enacted law, statute, ordinance, written or oral contract requiring the Company to carry out mine closure and environmental remediation activities, the Company believes that a constructive obligation presently exists based on the remediation requirements caused by the closure of any facility. The overall cost recognized for mining closure in Mexico includes the estimated costs of dismantling concentrators, smelter and refinery plants, shops and other facilities.

In December 2024, the Company adjusted its estimate for the asset retirement obligation for its Mexican operations, mainly due to a detailed review of the closing activities required and an update to life-of-mine plans for the Buenavista operations. The effect was a decrease in the asset retirement obligation to the order of $119.2 million.

The following table summarizes the asset retirement obligation activity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

Peruvian operations: The Company's operations are subject to applicable Peruvian environmental laws and regulations. The Peruvian government, through the Ministry of the Environment ("MINAM") conducts annual audits of the Company's Peruvian mining and metallurgical operations. Through these environmental audits, matters relating to environmental and legal compliance, atmospheric emissions, effluent monitoring and waste management are reviewed. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with applicable Peruvian environmental laws and regulations. Peruvian law requires that companies in the mining industry provide assurances for future mine closure and remediation. In accordance with the requirements of this law, the Company's closure plans were approved by MINEM. See Note 8 "Asset retirement obligation" for further discussion of this matter.

*Air Quality Standards ("AQS"):* In June 2017, MINAM enacted a supreme decree which defined new AQS for daily sulfur dioxide in the air. As of June 30, 2025, the Company reported a daily average level of µg/m3 of SO2, which falls below the AQS requirement.

In November 2023, MINAM enacted a new *AQS* for Cadmium, Arsenic and Chromium in particulate matter less than ten microns (PM<sub>10</sub>). A review of the Company´s chemical monitoring results has determined that the Company´s operations will not be significantly impacted by the new standards and concentration values in place. The Company´s results are expected to continue to fall below regulatory *AQS*.

*Soil Environmental Quality Standards ("SQS")*: In 2013, the Peruvian government enacted Soil Quality Standards. In accordance with the regulatory requirements of the law, the Company prepared Soil Decontamination Plans ("SDP") for environmentally impacted sites at each of its operation units (Toquepala, Cuajone and Ilo) with the assistance of consulting companies. The costs of these SDPs are not material, either individually or in aggregated form, for the financial statements of the Company.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

*Climate change:* On April 17, 2018, the Peruvian government enacted Law N. 30754, which promotes public and private investments in climate change management and establishes a Climate Change Framework. The law proposes creating an institutional framework to address climate change in Peru and outlines new measures for climate change mitigation, such as provisions to address an increase in carbon capture and use of carbon sinks; afforestation and reforestation practices; land use changes; sustainable systems of transportation, solid waste management, and energy systems. This climate change framework law incorporates obligations from the Paris Agreement. Supreme Decree 013-2019 published on December 31, 2019, enacted statutory regulations, which are applicable to all Peruvian institutions and agencies. It is expected that additional Peruvian regulations will be applicable to non governmental entities. However, no carbon pricing mechanism is currently applicable to the Company's operations in Peru.

Mexican operations: The Company's operations are subject to applicable Mexican federal, state and municipal environmental laws, to Mexican official standards, and to regulations for the protection of the environment, including regulations relating to water supply, water quality, air quality, noise levels and hazardous and solid waste.

The principal legislation applicable to the Company's Mexican operations is the Federal General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (the "General Law"), which is enforced by the Federal Bureau of Environmental Protection ("PROFEPA"). PROFEPA monitors compliance with environmental legislation and enforces Mexican environmental laws, regulations and official standards. It may also initiate administrative proceedings against companies that violate environmental laws, which in the most extreme cases may result in the temporary or permanent shutdown of non-complying facilities, the revocation of operating licenses and/or other sanctions or fines. Amendments to the General Law enacted in 2011 enabled individuals or entities to contest administrative acts, including environmental authorizations, permits or concessions granted, without the need to demonstrate the existence of harm to the environment as long as it can be argued that harm may be caused. Additionally, in 2013, the Environmental Liability Federal Law was enacted, establishing general guidelines for actions considered likely to cause environmental harm.

*Guaymas sulfuric acid spill:* In July 2019, there was an incident at the Company´s Marine Terminal in Guaymas, Sonora, that caused the discharge of approximately three cubic meters of sulfuric acid into the sea in the industrial port area. PROFEPA, after two inspections, declared a partial shutdown of the storage process and transportation of sulfuric acid at the terminal arguing the absence of an authorization of environmental impact, despite the fact that the Company's exempt to the permit because these facilities have been in operation since 1979, prior to the 1988 Mexican General Law of Ecological Balance and the Protection of the Environment. The Company has solved this issue and expects to restart operations in the near future.

*Climate change:* Several taxes are applicable to the Company's mining operations in Mexico, including federal and state fossil fuel taxes, and the requirements associated with Mexico's emission trading scheme. These taxes range from $9/tCO2 to $18/tCO2 in 2023, approximately. These regional taxes are applicable in the States of Baja California, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí, as well as a federal tax linked to the import of fuels. In addition, an emission trading scheme (ETS) in Mexico is currently available to the Company which is only applicable to two business units, the metallurgic and lime plants in Sonora, which both generate annual GHG emissions levels above the threshold of 100,000 tCO2 per year contemplated by the scheme. These two units are required to report and verify their emissions once a year. Units that emit more than 25,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent per year (all of our Mexican units) are required to report their emissions to the National Emissions Registry (RENE) annually and to verify the reported emissions every three years. Total expenses to ensure annual compliance with climate change regulations in Mexico are not material to the Company.

On May 09, 2023, Mexican Congress approved several changes effective immediately to the Mining Law, National Waters Law, the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection, and the General Law for the Prevention and Integral Management of Waste. The main changes include reducing mining concession terms from 50 to 30 years; new restrictions and conditions on water use; requirements to provide guarantees for closure and remediation of operations; and a contribution of 5% of net earnings to indigenous communities for new projects and significant changes to exploration rules.

These amendments to the law have been challenged and are being reviewed by the Supreme Court. The Company is not expecting any negative impacts on its operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company believes that all of its facilities in Peru and Mexico are in material compliance with environmental, mining and other applicable laws and regulations. The Company also believes that continued compliance with environmental laws of Mexico and Peru will have no material adverse effects on the Company's business, properties, or operating results.

**Litigation matters**:

Peruvian operations:

*The Tia Maria Mining Project* 

There are six lawsuits filed against the Peruvian Branch of the Company related to the Tia Maria project. The lawsuits seek (i) to declare null and void the resolution that approved the Environmental Impact Assessment of the project; (ii) the cancellation of the project and the withdrawal of mining activities in the area; (iii) to annul the mining concession application for the Tia Maria project; (iv) to annul the resolution that approved the construction license; and (v) to suspend construction work on the project. The lawsuits were filed by Messrs. Ernesto Mendoza Padilla (filed May 26, 2015), Juan Alberto Guillen Lopez (filed June 18, 2015), Junta de Usuarios del Valle del Tambo (filed April 30, 2015), Gobierno Regional de Arequipa (filed December 16, 2019), Municipalidad Distrital de Dean Valdivia (filed January 24, 2020) and Cristhian Torres Quispe et al. (filed March 20, 2025).

It should be noted that the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru has already issued a final ruling on the Carpio Lazo case challenging the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Tía Maria project (notified on February 22, 2022), which ratified the legality of said Environmental Impact Assessment. The Judiciary recognized SPCC's strict compliance with all applicable environmental regulations during the approval stages of the Tía María EIA. This decision should have a favorable impact on the cases described below:

The Mendoza Padilla case was initially rejected by the lower court on July 8, 2015. This ruling was confirmed by the Superior Court on June 14, 2016. On July 12, 2016, the case was appealed before the Constitutional Court. On November 20, 2018, the Constitutional Court reversed the previous decisions and remanded the case to the lower court for further action. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company was notified that the complaint had been reinstated. The Company answered the complaint on September 15, 2020. On December 2, 2020, the lower court issued a resolution, considering the complaint answered. On September 27, 2021, the Court ordered to temporarily archive the case. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Guillen Lopez case is currently before the lower court. Oral arguments took place on July 19, 2019. On January 7, 2020, the Judge decided to suspend the proceedings until the del Carpio Lazo case is concluded. On March 8, 2022, The Peruvian Branch informed the Court that the del Carpio Lazo case had concluded. On September 7, 2023, the Judge cancelled the suspension and declared the case ready for a resolution. On May 18, 2024, the Judge declared, once again, that the case was ready for resolution. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Junta de Usuarios del Valle del Tambo case is currently before the lower court. In May 2016, the Company was included in the process after the Ministry of Energy and Mines filed a civil complaint. On March 6, 2019, the Company was formally notified of the lawsuit and answered the complaint on March 20, 2019. On July 8, 2019, the Company requested the suspension of the proceeding until the del Carpio Lazo case is concluded. On March 11, 2022, the Peruvian Branch informed the Court that the del Carpio Lazo case had concluded. On January 5, 2024, the Peruvian Branch reiterated its petition to continue the process given that a final decision has already been handed down in Carpio Lazo case. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Gobierno Regional de Arequipa case is currently before the Superior Court. The Company answered the complaint on September 15, 2020. On February 8, 2021, the Judge decided to suspend the proceeding until the del Carpio Lazo case was concluded. On March 24, 2022, the Peruvian Branch informed the Court that the del Carpio Lazo case had concluded. On March 28, 2022, the Judge cancelled the suspension. On May 24, 2022, the parties presented their closing arguments. On March 15, 2023, the Judge dismissed the lawsuit. The plaintiff missed the chance to appeal the ruling, therefore, the Judge declared the case had concluded in favor of the Peruvian Branch. On October 20, 2023, the Superior

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Court declared that the plaintiff had not been properly informed of the ruling and ordered issuance of a new notification of the First Instance ruling. The Superior Court instructed the First Instance Court to inform the *Gobierno Regional de Arequipa* that it must establish a new address to ensure proper notification. On April 16, 2024, the *Gobierno Regional de Arequipa* filed an appeal against the first instance decision. The Superior court notified the Company of the appeal, and the Peruvian Branch responded on June 10, 2024. On August 7, 2024, an oral hearing took place. On May 30, 2025, the Superior court vacated the ruling that dismissed the lawsuit and remanded for a new judgment. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Municipalidad Distrital de Dean Valdivia case is currently before the lower court. On August 17, 2022, the Company was formally notified of the lawsuit and answered the complaint on September 2, 2022. The Peruvian Branch informed the Court the result of the del Carpio Lazo case. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Torres Quispe case is currently before the lower court. On May 20, 2025, the Company was formally served with the lawsuit and filed and answered the complaint on June 2, 2025. On July 11, 2025, the Court ruled in favor of SPCC. The plaintiff filed an appeal. As of July 22, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Company asserts that these lawsuits are without merit and is vigorously defending against them. The potential contingency amount for these cases cannot be reasonably estimated by management at this time.

*Special Regional Pasto Grande Project ("Pasto Grande Project")*

In 2012, the Pasto Grande Project, an entity of the Regional Government of Moquegua, filed a lawsuit against the Peruvian Branch alleging property rights over a certain area used by the Peruvian Branch and seeking the demolition of the tailings dam where the Peruvian Branch has deposited its tailings from the Toquepala and Cuajone operations since 1995. The Peruvian Branch has had title to use the area in question since 1960 and has constructed and operated the tailings dams with proper governmental authorization since 1995. Following a motion filed by the Peruvian Branch, the lower court included MINEM as a defendant in this lawsuit. MINEM has answered the complaint and denied the validity of the claim. On July 2, 2022, the case was temporarily archived. On May 26, 2023, the Judge ordered termination of the proceeding due to the lack of interest of the plaintiff. On June 2, 2023, the plaintiff appealed the termination of the proceeding. On September 18, 2023, the Superior Court reversed the termination and ordered the Judge to continue the proceeding. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution.

The Peruvian Branch asserts that the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending against it. The amount of this contingency cannot be reasonably estimated by management at this time.

Mexican operations:

*The Accidental Spill at Buenavista Mine of 2014*

Regarding the 2014 accidental spill of copper sulfate solution at a leaching pond in the Buenavista mine, the following legal procedures are pending against the Company:

On August 19, 2014, PROFEPA, as part of the administrative proceeding initiated after the spill, announced the filing of a criminal complaint against Buenavista del Cobre S.A. de C.V. ("BVC"), a subsidiary of the Company, to determine those responsible for environmental damages. During the second quarter of 2018, the criminal complaint was dismissed. This decision was appealed and was pending resolution as of June 30, 2025.

On October 12, 2023, SEMARNAT publicly announced the filing of another criminal complaint regarding the Sonora River spill, arguing that remediation of damages to the river was incomplete and compensation for said damages was insufficient. The Company has been directed to provide information regarding remediation activities and compensation for damages. The Company strongly believes that it has duly completed all remediation and compensation-related activities as required by the competent Mexican authorities and as such, this new complaint lacks merit.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Through the first half of 2015, six collective action lawsuits were filed in federal courts in Mexico City and Sonora against two subsidiaries of the Company seeking economic compensation, clean up and remedial activities in order to restore the environment to its pre-existing conditions. Three of the collective action lawsuits have been dismissed by the court. The remaining three lawsuits are still pending: two were filed by Acciones Colectivas de Sinaloa, A.C. and one, by Defensa Colectiva, A.C.; requesting precautionary measures about construction of facilities for monitoring public health services and prohibiting the closure of the Rio Sonora Trust. As of June 30, 2025, these cases remain in the same stage.

Similarly, during 2015, eight civil action lawsuits were filed against BVC in the state courts of Sonora seeking damages for alleged injuries and for moral damages as a consequence of the spill. The plaintiffs in the state court lawsuits are: Jose Vicente Arriola Nunez et al; Santana Ruiz Molina et al; Andres Nogales Romero et al; Teodoro Javier Robles et al; Gildardo Vasquez Carvajal et al; Rafael Noriega Souffle et al; Grupo Banamichi Unido de Sonora El Dorado, S.C. de R.L. de C.V; and Marcelino Mercado Cruz. In 2016, three additional civil action lawsuits, claiming similar damages, were filed by Juan Melquicedec Lebaron; Blanca Lidia Valenzuela Rivera et al and Ramona Franco Quijada et al. In 2017, BVC was served with thirty-three additional civil action lawsuits, claiming similar damages. The lawsuits were filed by Francisco Javier Molina Peralta et al; Anacleto Cohen Machini et al; Francisco Rafael Alvarez Ruiz et al; Jose Alberto Martinez Bracamonte et al; Gloria del Carmen Ramirez Duarte et al; Flor Margarita Sabori et al; Blanca Esthela Ruiz Toledo et al; Julio Alfonso Corral Dominguez et al; Maria Eduwiges Bracamonte Villa et al; Francisca Marquez Dominguez et al; Jose Juan Romo Bravo et al; Jose Alfredo Garcia Leyva et al; Gloria Irma Dominguez Perez et al; Maria del Refugio Romero et al; Miguel Rivas Medina et al; Yolanda Valenzuela Garrobo et al; Maria Elena Garcia Leyva et al; Manuel Alfonso Ortiz Valenzuela et al; Francisco Alberto Arvayo Romero et al; Maria del Carmen Villanueva Lopez et al; Manuel Martin Garcia Salazar; Miguel Garcia Arguelles et al; Dora Elena Rodriguez Ochoa et al; Honora Eduwiges Ortiz Rodriguez et al; Francisco Jose Martinez Lopez et al; Maria Eduwiges Lopez Bustamante; Rodolfo Barron Villa et al, Jose Carlos Martinez Fernandez et al, Maria de los Angeles Fabela et al; Rafaela Edith Haro et al; Luz Mercedes Cruz et al; Juan Pedro Montaño et al; and Juana Irma Alday Villa. In the first quarter of 2018, BVC was served with another civil action lawsuit, claiming similar damages. The lawsuit was filed by Alma Angelina Del Cid Rivera et al. On October 3, 2024, BVC was served with another civil action lawsuit, claiming similar damages. The lawsuit was filed by María Lourdes Martínez Navarro et al. As of June 30, 2025, all of these cases were pending resolution.

In 2015, four constitutional lawsuits (juicios de amparo) were filed before Federal Courts against various authorities and against a subsidiary of the Company, arguing; (i) the alleged lack of a waste management program approved by SEMARNAT; (ii) the alleged lack of a remediation plan approved by SEMARNAT with regard to the August 2014 spill; (iii) the alleged lack of community approval regarding the environmental impact authorizations granted by SEMARNAT to one subsidiary of the Company; and (iv) the alleged inactivity of the authorities with regard of the spill in August 2014. The plaintiffs of these lawsuits are: Francisca Garcia Enriquez, et al filed two lawsuits, Francisco Ramon Miranda, et al and Jesus David Lopez Peralta et al. In the third quarter of 2016, four additional constitutional lawsuits, claiming similar damages were filed by Mario Alberto Salcido et al; Maria Elena Heredia Bustamante et al; Martin Eligio Ortiz Gamez et al; and Maria de los Angeles Enriquez Bacame et al. In the third quarter of 2017, BVC was served with another constitutional lawsuit filed by Francisca García Enriquez et al. In 2018, BVC was served with two additional constitutional lawsuits that were filed against SEMARNAT by Norberto Bustamante et al. With regard to the constitutional lawsuit filed by Maria Elena Heredia Bustamante et al; in which it was claimed the lack of community approval regarding the authorization granted by SEMARNAT to build the new BVC tailings dam, on September 5, 2018, the Supreme Court of Justice issued a resolution establishing that such authorization was granted to BVC in compliance with the applicable legislation. However, SEMARNAT must carry out a public meeting to inform the community of the technical aspects required to build the dam, potential impacts and prevention measures. This public meeting will have no material effects to BVC's operations. SEMARNAT has carried out the consultation ordered by the Supreme Court. As a result, it has informed the corresponding Judge about its compliance with the resolution, in which BVC was required to implement additional measures of environmental impact prevention, such as: (i) the building of at least three monitoring wells downstream from the curtain of the contingency dam in a period of six months; (ii) monitoring of the groundwater level and water quality every six months; (iii) carrying out rain collection work in order to restore water to the Sonora River basin, with six months granted to present the execution program; (iv) determine the location of wildlife conservation and protection areas and define the need to establish biological corridors; (v) obtain photographic or videographic evidence every six months; (vi) submitting to SEMARNAT two years before the closure

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

and abandonment of the site, or earlier if necessary, the closure program that includes the cleaning and restoration of the soil including Mexican regulation NOM-141; (vii) include the measures in the Environmental Monitoring Program according to the environmental components impacted; and (viii) hiring an external environmental consultant to validate compliance with the current and new conditions imposed. The foregoing does not impact BVC's operations. Additionally, the lawsuits filed by Maria de los Angeles Enriquez Bacame and Norberto Bustamante have been dismissed and closed without prejudice to the Company. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining cases were pending resolution.

It is currently not possible to determine the extent of the damages sought in these state and federal lawsuits but the Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit. Accordingly, the Company is vigorously defending against them. Nevertheless, the Company believes that none of the legal proceedings resulting from the spill, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

**Labor matters**:

Peruvian operations: 54.0% of the Company's 5,204 Peruvian employees were unionized as of June 30, 2025. Currently, there are six separate unions, none of which represents the majority of workers, as defined by current Peruvian labor legislation.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company signed long-term extensions of the collective bargaining agreements with five of its six unions, each lasting six years and commencing on the day after the expiration of the prior agreements, in accordance with the law. As a result of these agreements, the Company made a signing payment to each worker in the fourth quarter of 2024, totaling $62 million, approximately.

In February 2025, the Company signed a three-year extension of the collective bargaining agreement with the remaining union. The Company made a signing payment to each worker of the union, totaling approximately $6.3 million. This allows the Company to ensure that economic benefits and working conditions are consistently applied to all unionized workers. Additionally, the Company reached agreements with the six unions to ensure uninterrupted operation of its facilities, preventing stoppages by the unions and workers during extension periods for collective bargaining.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company began implementing of the collective bargaining agreements signed with the six unions. Meetings have been held with the unions to execute different points that were agreed upon during the collective bargaining, and those additional agreements to ensure that operations can develop normally until at least 2027. Additionally, the union environment is in a state of flux given that elections will be held in 2025 to choose representatives for four of the Company's six unions, which represent 1,830 workers as of June 30, 2025. The Company believes that solid collective bargaining agreements are in place to ensure that its operations develop normally despite changes in elected representatives. It is also confident that it is in a good position to manage issues and circumstances moving forward.

The Company maintains regular dialogue with union representatives to ensure labor harmony and proper management of labor relations. Southern Peru has collective bargaining agreements with each of the six unions, the earliest of which expires in 2027 and the latest, in 2033. These agreements regulate benefits related to compensation and working conditions.

Mexican operations: In recent years, the Mexican operations have experienced a positive improvement in their labor environment, as workers opted to change their affiliation from the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores Mineros, Metalurgicos y Similares de la Republica Mexicana (the "National Mining Union") to other less politicized unions.

The workers of the San Martin mine were on strike since July 2007. On February 28, 2018, the striking workers of the San Martín mine of IMMSA held an election to vote on the union that would hold the collective bargaining agreement at the San Martin mine. The Federacion Nacional de Sindicatos Independientes (the National Federation of Independent Unions) won the vote by a majority. Nevertheless, the vote was challenged by the National Mining Union. On June 26, 2018, the Federal Mediation and Arbitration Board issued a ruling recognizing the election results. Due to the agreement between workers and the Company to end the protracted strike, on August 22, 2018, the Federal Mediation and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Arbitration Board authorized the restart of operations of the San Martin mine. Such authorization was challenged by the National Mining Union. On April 4, 2019, the Federal Mediation and Arbitration Board recognized, once again, the election results from February 28, 2018, by which the National Federation of Independent Unions won by a majority. In the last quarter of 2019, a Federal Court issued a resolution that established that the Labor Court should analyze the list of workers with the right to vote in the union election. The Company and the National Federation of Independent Unions challenged such determination before the Supreme Court of Justice. Such challenges were dismissed by the Supreme Court. Consequently, on September 6, 2021, the Federal Mediation and Arbitration Board issued a new resolution determining that, based on the documents submitted by the National Federation of Independent Unions and given the status of the strike until 2018, it was not possible to create a registry of workers holding a right to vote. Therefore, in case of a strike, any collective bargaining proceedings shall remain suspended. On June 9, 2023, the Federal Mediation and Arbitration Board, in a ruling that veered from its previous stance, did not recognize the common representatives of the coalition workers and consequently ruled that the agreement which such representatives had made with the Company to lift the strike in 2018 lacked validity. Notwithstanding, on June 14, 2023 the Federal Mediation and Arbitration Board handed down a ruling that terminated the strike and ordered workers to resume activities within 15 days. The Mining Union filed a protective action (Amparo) against this resolution, which is pending resolution as of June 30, 2025.

Additionally, the Mining Union filed a complaint before the Government of the United States of America under the rules of the Rapid Response Mechanism contained in the Mexico-United States-Canada Treaty ("T-MEC"), alleging denial of free association rights. On April 26, 2024, the arbitration panel of the Labor Rapid Response Mechanism ruled in favor of the Government of Mexico, determining that they did not have jurisdiction to rule on the denial of union rights at the mine. The Company collaborated by providing background information on the case and followed up every stage of the arbitration.

The Company´s operations at the San Martin unit continue to evolve normally and the conflict is expected to be resolved in accordance with the legal framework set by labor authorities; any actions taken will respect the will of the workers

In the case of the Taxco mine, its workers have been on strike since July 2007. After several legal procedures, in August 2015, the Supreme Court decided to assert jurisdiction over the case and to rule on it directly. As of June 30, 2025, the case was pending resolution without further developments.

It is expected that operations at the Taxco mine will remain suspended until the labor issues are resolved. In view of the lengthy strike, the Company has reviewed the carrying value of the Taxco mine to ascertain whether impairment exists. The Company concluded that there is a non-material impairment of the assets located at this mine.

**Other legal matters**:

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to its operations, but the Company does not believe that decisions adverse to it in any such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

**Other commitments:**

Peruvian Operations:

*Michiquillay*

In June 2018, the Company signed a contract for the acquisition of the Michiquillay copper project in Cajamarca, Peru, at a purchase price of $400 million (the "Contract"). Michiquillay is a world-class mining project with estimated inferred mineral resources of 2,288 million tonnes and an estimated copper grade of 0.43%. It is expected to produce 225,000 tonnes of copper per year (along with by-products of molybdenum, gold and silver) for an initial mine life of more than 25 years.

As per the Contract, the Company paid $12.5 million on the date of signing the Contract and $12.5 million in June 2021. The remaining balance of $375.0 million will be paid if the Company decides to develop the project. Therefore, it is not

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

a present obligation. In June 2022, the Company notified the Peruvian authorities of the end of the suspension period and the start of the preoperational period that lasts 12 years, but can be automatically extended for three more years, provided that the Feasibility Study of the project has been approved. The start of the preoperational period does not imply a payment obligation, but the Company must support an investment of $20 million during the first five years of this period, which includes exploration activities as well as the development of social programs.

In April 2025, considering the challenges for the development of the Michiquillay Project, the Company entered into an agreement with the Peruvian authorities to extend the preoperational period by three additional years, without prejudice of the Company's right to extend it for three more years, as initially established in the Contract. This extension also deferred by three years the payment term to pay the $375.0 million outstanding balance of the purchase price. The Company was required to pay $21.0 million cash consideration for this extension and commit an additional $15 million in social investments between the fourth and sixth years of the preoperational period.

In 2021, the Company signed social agreements with the Michiquillay and La Encañada communities. In addition, in October 2021, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines approved the semi-detailed environmental impact study for the project. In the last quarter of 2022, the Company informed MINEM that exploration activities had begun and that it initiated an in-depth assessment of existing mineral resources. In 2023, in accordance with the social agreements with the Michiquillay and La Encañada communities, the Company has hired unskilled labor and is paying for the use of surface land. The Company is supporting social programs in both communities. Additionally, the Company continues exploration activities on this project and as of June 30, 2025, had drilled 145,928 meters and obtained 59,098 drill core samples for chemical analysis. Diamond drilling has provided information to update geological modeling and interpret the distribution of mineralization in geological sections, which are required to evaluate mineral resources. Geo-metallurgical studies have been completed; hydrological, hydrogeological and geotechnical studies for the project will begin shortly.

Social agreements with the Michiquillay and La Encañada communities represent an opportunity to improve quality of life for their residents through the Company´s strong social programs, backed by a solid framework for technical work at the project level. The main commitments signed by the Company regarding the social agreements are related to providing support for agricultural and livestock activities, financial support for local initiatives, and social programs in favor of education, water management, waste disposal, and healthcare for vulnerable groups.

*Corporate Social Responsibility*

The Company has a corporate social responsibility policy to maintain and promote the continuity of its mining operations while obtaining the best results. The main objective of this policy is to integrate the Company´s operations with local communities in the areas of influence of its operations by creating permanent positive relationships to develop optimum social conditions and promote sustainable development in the area. Accordingly, the Company has made the following commitments:

Tacna Region: In connection with the Toquepala concentrator expansion, the Company has committed to fund various social and infrastructure improvement projects in Toquepala's neighboring communities. The total amount committed for these purposes is S/445.0 million (approximately $125.4 million as of June 30, 2025). In relation to this commitment, the Company has completed the construction of a school with an investment of S/18.8 million (approximately $5.3 million as of June 30, 2025) and agricultural infrastructure projects and studies with an investment of S/112.4 million (approximately $31.7 million as of June 30, 2025). Among the most important projects are the construction of the Cularjahuira dam for S/15.6 million (approximately $4.4 million as of June 30, 2025) and the engineering study for the Callazas dam for S/2.6 million (approximately $0.7 million as of June 30, 2025). Additionally, the Company has committed S/60.6 million (approximately $17.1 million as of June 30, 2025) to basic infrastructure projects, including a drinking water project for S/9.6 million (approximately $2.7 million as of June 30, 2025) which was recently completed.

As the Toquepala expansion project was completed, the Company considers that these commitments constitute present obligations of the Company and consequently has recorded a liability of $28.8 million in its condensed consolidated financial statements as other liabilities as of June 30, 2025.

In addition, the Company has committed S/102.1 million (approximately $28.8 million as of June 30, 2025) for the construction of a high-achievement school, and S/ 67.8 million (approximately $19.1 million as of June 30, 2025) in four infrastructure projects in the Tacna region under the "Works for Taxes" (*obras por impuestos*) program, which allows the Company to use these amounts as an advance payment of taxes.

Moquegua Region: In the Moquegua region, the Company participates in a "development roundtable" with local municipal authorities and community representatives to discuss social needs to determine how the Company can contribute to sustainable development in the region. Although the development roundtable is not currently meeting, during previous sessions it discussed the possibility of creating a Moquegua Region Development Fund, for which the Company has offered a contribution of S/1,000 million (approximately $281.8 million as of June 30, 2025). While the final funding agreement has yet to be signed, the Company has already committed to contributing S/251.3 million (approximately $70.8 million as of June 30, 2025) to different projects, including S/108.4 million (approximately $30.5 million as of June 30, 2025) to fund an educational project for which S/107.9 million (approximately $30.4 million as of June 30, 2025) has already been invested; this project already has approved resolutions from the provinces of Ilo and Sánchez Cerro. Additionally, construction of the treatment plant in Ilo continues, which entails a total investment of S/105.5 million (approximately $29.7 million as of June 30, 2025). As of June 30, 2025, the project had advanced 58%. On the education front, S/18.2 million (approximately $5.1 million as of June 30, 2025) has been executed to build three schools in Moquegua, all of which have been completed. On the agricultural front, S/6.9 million (approximately $1.9 million as of June 30, 2025) has been invested to develop two infrastructure projects.

In addition, in the last three years, the Company has committed S/228 million (approximately $64.2 million as of June 30, 2025) to build three educational infrastructure projects and one basic sanitation project, and has invested S/3.9 million (approximately $1.1 million as of June 30, 2025) to conduct pre-investment studies in the Moquegua region, all under the "Works for Taxes" (*obras por impuestos*) program, which allows the Company to use these amounts as an advance payment of taxes.

Apurimac Region: The Company has committed S/84 million (approximately $23.7 million as of June 30, 2025) to build two educational infrastructure projects under the "Works for Taxes" (obras por impuestos) program, which allows the Company to use these amounts as an advance payment of taxes.

Arequipa Region: The Company has committed S/110.2 million (approximately $31.1 million as of June 30, 2025) to build two educational infrastructure projects and S/6.3 million (approximately $1.8 million as of June 30, 2025) to finance previous studies for infrastructure projects, under the "Works for Taxes" (*obras por impuestos*) program, which allows the Company to use these amounts as an advance payment of taxes.

Cajamarca Region: The Company has committed S/0.7 million (approximately $0.2 million as of June 30, 2025) to finance the pre-investment studies of a health project under the "Works for Taxes" (*obras por impuestos*) program, which allows the Company to use these amounts as an advance payment of taxes.

If the participant has only partially paid for shares, the entitled dividends will be used to reduce the remaining liability owed for purchased shares.

In the case of voluntary or involuntary resignation/termination of the employee, the Company will pay to the employee the fair market sales price on the date of resignation of the fully paid shares, net of costs and taxes. When the fair market sales value of the shares is higher than the purchase price, the Company will apply a deduction over the amount to be paid to the employee based on a decreasing schedule specified in the plan.

In case of retirement or death of the employee, the Company will render the buyer or his legal beneficiary, the fair market sales value as of the date of retirement or death of the shares effectively paid, net of costs and taxes.

**NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:**

Subtopic 820-10 of ASC "Fair value measurement and disclosures — Overall" establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Subtopic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs. (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (excluding accounts receivable associated with provisionally priced sales) and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Consequently, such financial instruments are not included in the following table, which provides information about the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of other financial instruments that are not

Long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and its estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy except for the case of the Yankee bonds, which qualify as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were calculated as follows as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

The Company's short-term trading securities investments were classified as Level 1 because they were valued using quoted prices of the same securities as they consisted of bonds issued by public companies and were publicly traded. The Company's short-term available-for-sale investments are classified as Level 2 because they are valued using quoted prices for similar investments.

The Company's accounts receivables associated with provisionally priced copper sales are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward price on the LME or on the COMEX. Such value is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Molybdenum prices are established by reference to the publication Platts Metals Week and are considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The provisional sales price adjustment included in accounts receivable and net sales as of June 30, 2025 incorporates positive adjustments of $37.8 million for copper and $15.6 million for molybdenum.

Management believes that the final pricing of these sales will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or on operating results.

**NOTE 14 — SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION:**

Company management views Southern Copper as having three reportable segments and manages it on the basis of these segments. The reportable segments identified by the Company are: the Peruvian operations, the Mexican open-pit operations and the Mexican underground mining operations segment identified as the IMMSA unit.

The three reportable segments identified are groups of mines, each of which constitute an operating segment, with similar economic characteristics, types of products, processes and support facilities, similar regulatory environments, similar employee bargaining contracts and similar currency risks. In addition, each mine within the individual group earns revenues from similar types of customers for their products and services and each group incurs expenses independently, including commercial transactions between groups.

Financial information is regularly prepared for each of the three segments and the results of the Company's operations are regularly reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") on the segment basis. The CODM of the Company focuses on operating income and on total assets as measures of performance to evaluate different segments

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

and to make decisions to allocate resources to the reported segments. These are common measures in the mining industry.

Financial information relating to Southern Copper Corporation's segments is as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

*The following discussion provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Southern Copper Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "SCC", "the Company", "our", and "we"). This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024*.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Business: Our business is primarily the production and sale of copper. In the process of producing copper, a number of valuable metallurgical by-products are recovered, which we also produce and sell. Market forces outside of our control largely determine the sale prices for our products. Our management, therefore, focuses on value creation through copper production, cost control, production enhancement and maintaining a prudent capital structure to remain profitable. We endeavor to achieve these goals through capital spending programs, exploration efforts and cost reduction programs. Our aim is to remain profitable during periods of low copper prices and to maximize financial performance in periods of high copper prices.

We are one of the world's largest copper mining companies in terms of production and sales and our principal operations are in Peru and Mexico. We also have exploration programs in Chile and Argentina. In addition to copper, we produce significant amounts of other metals, either as a by-product of the copper process or through a number of dedicated mining facilities in Mexico.

Outlook: Various key factors will affect our outcome. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Sales structure : In the second quarter of 2025, 74.1% of our revenue came from the sale of copper; 11.6% from molybdenum; 6.6% from silver; 4.0% from zinc; and 3.7% from other products, including gold, sulfuric acid, and other materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Copper : In the second quarter of 2025, copper prices per pound experienced variability (LME: fell from $4.42 to $4.32, or -2.3%; COMEX: rose from $4.55 to $4.72 or +3.7%). Based on supply and demand dynamics, we estimate that the deficit at 2025 year-end will stand at approximately 300,000 tonnes. Copper inventories worldwide have dropped 30%, going from 541,000 tonnes at the end March 2025 to 381,000 tonnes at the end of June 2025. We estimate that this inventory currently covers approximately five days of global demand.

In the first half of 2025, the copper market registered a significant arbitrage difference between COMEX and LME prices. At its peak in July 11, 2025, the COMEX price was 119 cents per pound or 27% above the LME price. This huge difference reflected the strong possibility that a 50% tariff will be imposed on U.S. copper imports from various countries.

Although we maintain a very positive long-term outlook for copper, we believe high tariffs for international trade from the U.S. will affect economic growth worldwide, consequently impacting copper demand in the long run.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Molybdenum : Accounted for 11.6% of our sales in the second quarter of 2025 and is currently our most important by-product. Molybdenum prices averaged $20.57 per pound in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $21.69 in the same period of 2024, reflecting a decrease of 5.2%.

Molybdenum is mainly used in the production of special alloys for stainless steel that require significant hardness, corrosion and heat resistance. New uses for this metal are associated with lubricants, sulfur filtering of heavy oils and shale gas production.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

For 2025, we believe that prices will hold at the current level of about $20.00 per pound given its diverse applications in critical industries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Silver : Represented 6.6% of our sales in the second quarter of 2025. We believe that silver prices will be supported by demand for industrial use and precious metals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Zinc : Average zinc prices decreased 7.0% in the second quarter of 2025 versus the same period of 2024. We believe zinc has strong long-term fundamentals, driven by sustained industrial demand, particularly in the construction and automotive sectors. Although current supply levels are stable, a forecasted reduction in mine production and the closing of key refineries suggest that supply will tighten over time. As demand continues to grow, this imbalance is expected to put upward pressure on prices in the long run. Zinc represented 4.0% of our sales in the second quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Production: In 2025, we expect our copper production to reach 965,300 tonnes, a decrease of 0.9% over final production in 2024. Last year we drove our Pilares project to full capacity and we expect this project to contribute 32,400 tonnes of copper in 2025.

Regarding by-products, we expect to produce 173,400 tonnes of zinc from our mines, up 33% from 2024 production level. This growth will be driven by the production of our Buenavista Zinc concentrator (110,700 tonnes), which is operating at full capacity. We also expect to produce 28,700 tonnes of molybdenum in 2025, which represents a decrease of 1.0% compared to 2024 production levels. For silver, we expect to produce 22.8 million ounces of this metal, an increase of 9% compared to last year's production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Capital Investments : In the second quarter of 2025, we spent $235.7 million on capital investments; this represented 24.2% of net income and a decrease of 29.0% compared to the amount registered in the same period of 2024.

KEY MATTERS

Below, we discuss several matters that we believe are important to understand the results of our operations and financial condition. These matters include, (i) our earnings, (ii) our production, (iii) our "operating cash costs" as a measure of our performance, (iv) metal prices, (v) business segments, (vi) the effect of inflation and other local currency issues, and (vii) our capital investment and exploration program.

**Earnings:** The table below highlights key financial and operational data of our Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions, except copper price, percentages and per share amounts):

Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 totaled $3,051.0 million, representing a 2.2% decline compared to the same period in 2024. This result was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volumes of copper (-3.0%) and lower LME prices for copper (-2.3%), molybdenum (-5.2%), and zinc (-7.0%). These effects were partially offset by an increase in sales volumes of zinc (+14.0%), molybdenum (+2.7%) and silver (+13.9%), and by higher prices for silver (+16.6%) and COMEX copper (+3.7%).

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Net income attributable to SCC for the second quarter of 2025 reached $973.4 million, marking a 2.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This performance was primarily supported by a reduction in total operating costs and expenses (-3.1%), which was mainly attributable to an inventory variance in the cost of sales, and by an increase in interest income (+100.4%) related to higher cash and short-term investment balances. These positive factors were partially offset by the previously mentioned 2.2% decline in net sales, which reflected lower metal prices and reduced copper sales volumes.

Net sales for the first half of 2025 increased 8.0% compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was driven by higher sales volumes of zinc (+25.3%), copper (+0.3%), molybdenum (+6.1%) and silver (+14.0%) and by higher prices for copper (COMEX +10.5%, LME +3.6%), silver (+26.3%) and zinc (+3.3%). This was slightly offset by a decrease in molybdenum prices (-1.3%).

Net income attributable to SCC in the first six months of 2025 increased by 13.8% compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by an 8.0% rise in sales and an 89.2% increase in interest income. These positive factors were partially offset by a 4.4% increase in operating costs, mainly related to variances in workers' participation and inventory, and by a 10.6% increase in income taxes.

Second quarter: Copper mine production in the second quarter of 2025 stood at 526.9 million pounds, a 1.4% reduction compared to the same period of 2024. This decrease was a result of lower production at Buenavista (-2.9%; due to lower ore grades and the fact that the new concentrator is fully dedicated to zinc production), La Caridad (-1.7%; due to lower ore grades and recoveries, partially offset by increased SX-EW production) and Cuajone (-1.0%; due to lower ore grades). These reductions were offset by increased production at Toquepala (+0.5%; due to higher recoveries) and IMMSA (+5.2%; due to higher ore grades).

Molybdenum production increased 3.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. This growth was largely driven by improved production at our Cuajone (+8.9%), Toquepala (+7.4%), and Buenavista (+0.6%) mines, primarily due to higher ore grades. However, this performance was slightly offset by a decrease in production at our La Caridad (-0.5%) operations, which was driven by lower ore grades and recoveries.

Silver mine production increased 15.4% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. This growth was driven by higher production at our Buenavista (+27.9%), La Caridad (+15.2%), IMMSA (+13.4%) and Cuajone (+8.4%) operations. However, this performance was slightly tempered by a decline in production at our Toquepala (-0.6%) mine.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Zinc production increased 56.0% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This significant growth was primarily driven by full-capacity operations at the Buenavista Zinc concentrator, which produced 30,894 tonnes of zinc (+126.3%) in the second quarter of 2025.

Six months: Mined copper production in the first six months of 2025 was 1,056.5 million pounds, and represented a slight decrease of 0.7% compared to the same period of 2024. This decline was primarily attributable to lower production at Buenavista (-1.2%, due to lower ore grades and the full allocation of the new concentrator to zinc production), La Caridad (-4.0%; due to lower recoveries) and Cuajone (-0.3%; due to lower ore grades). This was partially offset by an increase in production at our Toquepala (+1.0%; due to higher milling) and IMMSA operations (+3.1%; due to higher ore grades).

Molybdenum production increased 5.9% in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This rise was mainly due to higher production at our Toquepala (+10.2%), Buenavista (+5.2%) and La Caridad (+5.1%) mines, reflecting an increase in ore grades. Growth, however, was slightly offset by a 0.9% decrease in production at the Cuajone mine.

Silver mine production increased 14.6% in the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher production at our Buenavista (+36.6%), IMMSA (+10.4%), La Caridad (+5.8%) and Cuajone (+4.3%) operations. This growth was slightly offset by a decline in production at our Toquepala mine (-0.8%).

Zinc production increased 52.9% in the first six months of 2025. This growth was primarily driven by full-capacity operations at the Buenavista Zinc concentrator, which produced 56,227 tonnes during the period.

**Operating Cash Costs:** An overall benchmark that we use, which is a common industry metric to measure performance is operating cash costs per pound of copper produced. Operating cash cost is a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. This non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of our operating cash cost per pound of copper produced to the cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings is presented under the subheading, "Non-GAAP Information Reconciliation" on page 59. We disclose operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, both before and net of by-product revenues.

We define ***operating cash cost per pound of copper produced before by-product revenues*** as cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion), plus selling, general and administrative charges, treatment and refining charges net of sales premiums; less the cost of purchased concentrates, workers' participation and other miscellaneous charges, including royalty charges, and the change in inventory levels; divided by total pounds of copper produced by our own mines.

In our calculation of operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, we exclude depreciation, amortization and depletion, which are considered non-cash expenses. Exploration is considered a discretionary expenditure and is also excluded. Workers' participation provisions are determined on the basis of pre-tax earnings and are also excluded. Additional exclusions from operating cash costs are items of a non-recurring nature and the mining royalty charge as it is based on various calculations of taxable income, depending on which jurisdiction, Peru or Mexico, is imposing the charge. We believe these adjustments allow our management and stakeholders to more fully visualize our controllable cash cost, which we believe is one of the lowest of all copper-producing companies of similar size.

We define ***operating cash cost per pound of copper produced net of by-product revenues*** as operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, as defined in the previous paragraph, less by-product revenues and net revenue (loss) on sale of metal purchased from third parties.

In our calculation of operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product revenues, we credit against our costs the revenues from the sale of all our by-products, including, molybdenum, zinc, silver, gold, etc. and the net revenue (loss) on sale of metals purchased from third parties. We disclose this measure including the by-product

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

revenues in this way because we consider our principal business to be the production and sale of copper. As part of our copper production process, much of our by-products are recovered. These by-products, as well as the processing of copper purchased from third parties, are a supplemental part of our production process and their sales value contribute to covering part of our incurred fixed costs. We believe that our Company is viewed by the investment community as a copper company, and is valued, in large part, by the investment community's view of the copper market and our ability to produce copper at a reasonable cost.

We believe that both of these measures are useful tools for our management and our stakeholders. Our cash costs before by-product revenues allow us to monitor our cost structure and address areas of concern within operating management. The measure operating cash cost per pound of copper produced net of by-product revenues is a common measure used in the copper industry and is a useful management tool that allows us to track our performance and better allocate our resources. This measure is also used in our investment project evaluation process to determine a project's potential contribution to our operations, its competitiveness and its relative strength in different price scenarios. The expected contribution of by-products is generally a significant factor used by the copper industry to determine whether to move forward or not in the development of a new mining project. As the price of our by-product commodities can have significant fluctuations from period to period, the value of its contribution to our costs can be volatile.

Our operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, before and net of by-product revenues, is presented in the table below for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

**Operating cash cost per pound of copper produced (1)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Net of metallurgical losses.

In the second quarter of 2025, the operating cash cost per pound before by-product revenues fell from $2.15 to $2.11 compared to the same period of 2024, driven mainly by lower operating costs (-2.5%). By-product revenues per pound increased by 6.1% from $1.40 to $1.48. As a result, the operating cash cost per pound net of by-product revenues dropped 16.8%, from $0.76 to $0.63. This reduction reflects effective cost management and higher by-product revenues, primarily from zinc and silver.

For the first six months of 2025, the operating cash cost per pound before by-product revenues decreased from $2.13 to $2.08, which was mainly the result of a decrease in treatment and refining charges due to market conditions. In addition, a 13.5% increase in by-product revenues per pound helped reduce the operating cash cost per pound net of by-product

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

revenues from $0.91 to $0.70. This 23.6% reduction was mainly supported by higher sales volumes for silver and zinc, along with the aforementioned decrease in operating cash costs.

**Metal Prices:** The profitability of our operations is dependent on, and our financial performance is significantly affected by, the international market prices for the products we produce, and for copper, molybdenum, zinc and silver in particular.

We are subject to market risks arising from the volatility of copper and other metal prices. For the remaining six months of 2025, assuming that expected metal production and sales are achieved; tax rates remain unchanged and giving no effects relative to potential cost changes, metal price sensitivity factors would indicate the following change in estimated net income attributable to SCC resulting from metal price changes:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Copper** | **Molybdenum** | **Zinc** | **Silver** |
| Change in metal prices (per pound except silver—per ounce) | $0.10 | $1.00 | $0.10 | $1.00 |
| Change in net earnings (in millions) | $62.5 | $17.6 | $12.5 | $7.1 |

**Business Segments:** We view our Company as having three reportable segments and manage it on the basis of these segments. These segments are (1) our Peruvian operations, (2) our Mexican open-pit operations and (3) our Mexican underground operations, known as our IMMSA unit. Our Peruvian operations include the Toquepala and Cuajone mine complexes and the smelting and refining plants, industrial railroad and port facilities that service both mines. The Peruvian operations produce copper, with significant by-product production of molybdenum, silver and other material. Our Mexican open-pit operations include the La Caridad-Pilares and Buenavista mine complexes, the smelting and refining plants and support facilities, which service these mines. The Mexican open-pit operations produce copper, with significant by-product production of molybdenum, silver and other material. Our IMMSA unit includes three operating underground mines and several industrial processing facilities.

Segment information is included in our review of "Results of Operations" in this item and also in Note 14 "Segment and Related Information" of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Inflation and Exchange Rate Effect of the Peruvian Sol and the Mexican Peso:** Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and our revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Significant portions of our operating costs are denominated in Peruvian sol and Mexican pesos. Accordingly, when inflation and currency devaluation/appreciation of the Peruvian currency and Mexican currency occur, our operating results can be affected. In recent years, exchange rate volatility has been high but has had a limited effect on our results. Please see Item 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" for more detailed information.

**Capital Investment Programs**: We made capital investments of $553.5 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $545.6 million in the same period of 2024. In general, the capital investments and investment projects described below are intended to increase production, decrease costs or address social and environmental commitments.

Set forth below are descriptions of some of our current expected capital investment programs. We expect to meet the cash requirements for these projects by utilizing cash on hand; internally generated funds and additional external financing. All capital spending plans will continue to be reviewed and adjusted to respond to changes in the economy and market conditions.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Projects in Peru**:

Our investments in Peruvian projects that are being built or for which basic or detail engineering is being conducted could surpass $10.3 billion in the next decade.

The openness of the Peruvian government and institutions to private investment; the strong support of local communities; and respect for the rule of law underpin our aggressive investment program. With the support and assistance of Peruvian authorities, the Company is moving forward to secure the administrative permits and licenses that are required prior to investment. The projects' construction and subsequent operating phases will generate new poles of development; create significant job opportunities; and drive growth in tax revenues at both, national and regional levels.

Tia Maria - Arequipa: This greenfield project, located in Arequipa, Peru, will use state of the art SX-EW technology with the highest international environmental standards with a capacity of 120,000 tons of SX- EW copper cathodes per year.

Tia Maria will generate significant revenues for the Arequipa region from day one of its operations. At current copper prices, we expect to export $18.2 billion and contribute $3.8 billion in taxes and royalties during the first 20 years of operation. The project budget has been set at $1,802 million.

Project update: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had generated 1,376 new jobs, 802 of which were filled with local applicants. To the fullest extent possible, we intend to fill the 3,500 jobs estimated to be required during Tia Maria's construction phase with workers from the Islay province. In 2027, when we start operations, the project will generate 764 direct jobs and 5,900 indirect jobs.

The project is in the early construction phase, and progress constructing access roads and platforms has reached 90%. The Company will advance these efforts alongside work to set up a temporary camp, engage in massive earthworks, and roll out mine-opening activities. To date, we have installed 59 kilometers of live fence to delimit the property.

**Projects in Mexico:**

We are currently expecting to obtain permits and licenses that had been put on hold by the previous government in Mexico. We are conducting talks with the current administration to continue rolling out SCC's Mexican investments for $10.2 billion.

Minera Mexico is planning to invest more than $600 million in 2025 at both its open pit and underground mines. Half of this investment will be used to guarantee the viability of long-term operations by actively modernizing and updating assets. The remaining funds will target improvements in water usage and tailings management to ensure that our operations are safe and efficient. In addition, we will invest in efforts to bolster optimization and growth.

El Pilar - Sonora: This low-capital intensity copper greenfield project is strategically located in Sonora, Mexico, approximately 45 kilometers from our Buenavista mine. Its copper oxide mineralization contains estimated proven and probable reserves of 317 million tonnes of ore with an average copper grade of 0.249%. We anticipate that El Pilar will operate as a conventional open-pit mine with an annual production capacity of 36,000 tonnes of copper cathodes. This operation will use highly cost efficient and environmentally friendly SX-EW technology.

The Company has several projects in its Mexican pipeline that may boost organic growth if they are found to be of value for both stakeholders and the communities in which we operate. These projects are Angangueo, Chalchihuites and the Empalme Smelter, which could bolster our position as a fully integrated copper producer.

**Potential projects:**

We have a number of other projects that we may develop in the future. We continuously evaluate new projects on the basis of our long-term corporate objectives, expected return on investment, environmental concerns, required investment

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

and estimated production, among other considerations. All capital spending plans will continue to be reviewed and adjusted to respond to changes in the economy and market conditions.

Los Chancas - Apurimac: This greenfield project, located in Apurimac, Peru, is a copper and molybdenum porphyry deposit. Current estimates of indicated copper mineral resources are 98 million tonnes of oxides with a copper content of 0.45% and 52 million tonnes of sulfides with a copper content of 0.59%. The Los Chancas project envisions an open-pit mine with a combined operation of concentrator and SX-EW processes that are expected to produce 130,000 tonnes of copper and 7,500 tonnes of molybdenum annually. The estimated capital investment is $2,600 million and the project is expected to begin operating in 2031. We continue to engage in social and environmental improvements for the local communities and are working on the project´s environmental impact assessment.

Project update: On June 6, 2025, the "Framework Agreement for the Development of the Tiaparo Peasant Community and the Los Chancas Mining Project" was signed with the community of Tiaparo. This agreement will be in effect throughout the construction and operation phases of the project. This agreement, as well as the important steps taken to control illegal mining activities related to the project represent important milestones in the development of our Los Chancas project.

Michiquillay Project - Cajamarca: In June 2018, Southern Copper signed a contract for the acquisition of the Michiquillay project in Cajamarca, Peru. Michiquillay is a world class mining project with inferred mineral resources of 2,288 million tonnes and an estimated copper grade of 0.43%. When developed, we expect Michiquillay to produce 225,000 tonnes of copper per year (along with by-products of molybdenum, gold and silver) at a competitive cash-cost for an initial mine life of more than 25 years.

We estimate an investment of approximately $2.5 billion will be required and expect production start-up by 2032. Michiquillay will become one of Peru´s largest copper mines and will create significant business opportunities in the Cajamarca region; generate new jobs for the local communities; and contribute with taxes and royalties to the local, regional and national governments.

Project update: As of June 30, 2025, the exploration project's total progress was 45%. The drilling program was completed, totaling 145,928 meters, and 59,098 core samples were submitted for chemical analysis. Diamond drilling has provided the information necessary to interpret the distribution of mineralization in geological sections and develop geological modeling, which is required for the mineral resource estimate, currently underway. The geometallurgical studies have been successfully completed, and hydrological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical studies for the project are about to begin.

El Arco - Baja California: This is a world-class copper deposit located in the central part of the Baja California peninsula with ore reserves of over 1,230 million tonnes with an average ore grade of 0.40% and 141 million tonnes of leach material with an average ore grade of 0.27%. The project includes an open-pit mine with a combined 120 ktpd concentrator and 28 ktpy SX-EW operations.

Detailed engineering is still underway for the concentrator, SX-EW plant, water desalination, logistics infrastructure and power delivery.

The aforementioned information is based solely on estimates. We cannot make any assurances that we will undertake any of these projects or that the information noted is accurate.

**International recognition for conservation of the Mexican gray wolf.** At an event held in Detroit (June 3-4), SCC was recognized by the Tandem Global Awards 2025 in the category of "Mammal Projects." These awards recognize excellence in corporate conservation by US-based and international companies that implement actions to protect biodiversity and improve natural environments. Buenavista del Cobre's Environmental Management Unit, located in Cananea (Sonora), was recognized for its participation in the Binational Mexico-United States Program for the Conservation of the the Mexican Gray Wolf. This program focuses on driving genetic recovery and behavioral rehabilitation as well as reintroducing the gray wolf, which is on the brink of extinction, in the natural habitat.

**Tía María: generating sustainable value.** As SCC advances in building the Tía María mining project in Arequipa, Peru, we continue to drive development in neighboring communities by generating employment and hiring local suppliers. To date, we have created 1,376 new jobs. 802 were filled with local applicants, which represents 11% of the economically active population (EAP) of the nearby Tambo valley. SCC has also hired 50 local suppliers in the transportation, general services and machinery rental sectors, consequently improving the quality of life of more than 300 families. By creating employment, hiring local suppliers and rolling out Tía María's local programs, SCC serves the needs of the majority of the Tambo Valley's population.

**Driving musical education in Mexican communities.** As part of our Youth Orchestras and Choirs, professionals from the Academy of Music of the Palacio de Minería impart master classes to all students and teachers from the seven communities in Mexico that participate in the project. SCC also offers scholarships to outstanding students who wish to pursue higher learning in Orchestral Conducting and Pedagogy at the Instituto Superior de Música de Puebla, Mexico. This attests to the Company's commitment to cultural and educational development.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, as well as quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We make our best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include: ore reserves, revenue recognition, ore stockpiles on leach pads and related amortization, estimated impairment of assets, asset retirement obligations, determination of discount rates related to the financial lease liabilities, classification of operating leases versus financial leases, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits and fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

NET SALES

In the second quarter of 2025 totaled $3,051.0 million, representing a 2.2% decline compared to the same period of 2024. This result was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volumes of copper (-3.0%) and lower LME prices for copper (-2.3%), molybdenum (-5.2%) and zinc (-7.0%). These effects were partially offset by an increase in sales volumes of zinc (+14.0%), molybdenum (+2.7%) and silver (+13.9%) and by an increase in prices for silver (+16.6%) and COMEX copper (+3.7%).

For the first half of 2025, net sales increased by 8.0% compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was driven by higher sales volumes of zinc (+25.3%), copper (+0.3%), molybdenum (+6.1%) and silver (+14.0%) and improved market prices for copper (COMEX +10.5%, LME, +3.6%), silver (+26.3%) and zinc (+3.3%). This was slightly offset by a decrease in molybdenum prices (-1.3%).

Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 dropped $68.5 million compared to the same period of 2024. This decline was mainly driven by a decrease in copper sales volume (-5.7%) and by lower prices for copper (LME, -2.3%) and molybdenum (-5.2%). These effects were partially offset by an increase in sales volumes of molybdenum (+8.3%) and silver (+7.7%) and by higher silver prices (+16.6%).

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Operating costs and expenses were $595.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $626.3 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease of $31.2 million was primarily due to:

Net sales in the first six months of 2025 increased $168.8 million compared to the same period in 2024. This growth primarily reflects improvements in sales volumes of copper (+4.2%), molybdenum (+6.8%), and silver (+15.0%) as well as an increase in market prices for copper (+3.6%, LME) and silver (+26.3%). However, this was slightly offset by a decrease in molybdenum prices (-1.3%).

Operating costs and expenses in the first six months of 2025 increased $102.0 million to $1,299.6 million compared to $1,197.6 million in the same period of 2024. This was primarily due to:

Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased $16.3 million compared to the same period of 2024. This growth was mainly driven by higher sales volumes of zinc (+63.3%) and silver (+11.5%). This was supported by full-capacity production at the Buenavista zinc concentrator, as zinc sales volumes reached 64.0 million pounds in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, higher prices for copper (COMEX, +3.7%) and silver (+16.6%) further supported the rise in net sales. However, these positive effects were mostly offset by a decrease in sales volumes of copper (-3.3%) and molybdenum (-1.7%) and by a decrease in prices of molybdenum (-5.2%) and zinc (-7.0%).

Operating costs and expenses were $765.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $786.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease of $20.2 million was primarily due to:

Net sales in the first six months of 2025 increased by $299.7 million compared to the same period of 2024. This growth primarily reflects growth in sales volumes of molybdenum (+5.6%), silver (+10.3%) and zinc (+120.0%). Additionally, positive developments for metal prices, mainly copper (+10.5%, COMEX), silver (+26.3%) and zinc (+3.3%) contributed to this performance. Start-up at the Buenavista zinc concentrator played a pivotal role, as zinc sales volumes reached 97.3 million pounds for the period. However, this was partially offset by a decline in the sales volume of copper (-4.4%) and a decrease in molybdenum prices (-1.3%).

Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 decreased $6.0 million compared to the same period of 2024. This decline was primarily driven by a reduction in the copper sales volume (-16.0%) and by a decrease in zinc prices (-7.0%). However, these effects were partially offset by an increase in sales volumes of silver (+11.3%) and zinc (+0.2%) and by higher prices for copper (COMEX, +3.7%) and silver (+16.6%).

Operating costs and expenses were $161.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $134.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase of $27.4 million was primarily due to:

Net sales in the first six months of 2025 increased $3.1 million compared to the same period of 2024. This growth primarily reflects favorable metal price trends, primarily for copper (COMEX, +10.5%), silver (+26.3%), and zinc (+3.3%). Growth in silver sales volumes (+3.1%) boosted this performance. However, these positive effects were partially offset by a drop in sales volumes of copper (-23.8%) and zinc (-4.2%).

Operating costs and expenses in the first six months of 2025 increased by $11.2 million to $298.5 million compared to $287.3 million in the same period of 2024. This was primarily due to:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

**Commodity price risk:**

For additional information on metal price sensitivity, refer to "Metal Prices" in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025.

**Foreign currency exchange rate risk:**

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Portions of our operating costs are denominated in Peruvian soles and Mexican pesos. Given that our revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, when inflation or deflation in our Mexican or Peruvian operations is not offset by a change in the exchange rate of the sol or the peso to the dollar, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be affected by local cost conversion when expressed in U.S. dollars. In addition, the dollar value of our net monetary assets denominated in soles or pesos can be affected by an exchange rate variance of the sol or the peso, resulting in a re-measurement gain or loss in our financial statements. Recent inflation and exchange rate variances are provided in the table below for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended**  | **Three Months Ended**  | **Six Months Ended**  | **Six Months Ended**  |
|  | **June 30,**  | **June 30,**  | **June 30,**  | **June 30,**  |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Peru: |  |  |  |  |
| Peruvian inflation rate | 0.4% | (0.0)% | 1.3% | 1.6% |
| Initial exchange rate | 3.677 | 3.721 | 3.770 | 3.713 |
| Closing exchange rate | 3.549 | 3.837 | 3.549 | 3.837 |
| Appreciation/(devaluation) | 3.5% | (3.1)% | 5.9% | (3.3)% |
| Mexico: |  |  |  |  |
| Mexican inflation rate | 0.9% | 0.4% | 1.8% | 1.7% |
| Initial exchange rate | 20.318 | 16.678 | 20.268 | 16.894 |
| Closing exchange rate | 18.893 | 18.377 | 18.893 | 18.377 |
| Appreciation/(devaluation) | 7.0% | (10.2)% | 6.8% | (8.8)% |

---

**Change in monetary position:**

Assuming an exchange rate variance of 10% at June 30, 2025, we estimate our net monetary position in Peruvian sol and Mexican peso would increase (decrease) our net earnings as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Effect in net**<br>**earnings**<br>**($ in millions)** |
| Appreciation of 10% in U.S. dollar vs. Peruvian sol | $14.7 |
| Devaluation of 10% in U.S. dollar vs. Peruvian sol | $(18.0) |
| Appreciation of 10% in U.S. dollar vs. Mexican peso | $(16.0) |
| Devaluation of 10% in U.S. dollar vs. Mexican peso | $19.6 |

---

**Open sales risk:**

Our provisional copper and molybdenum sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separate from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of copper and molybdenum concentrates at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to settlement. See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about these provisional sales.

**Short-term Investments:**

For additional information on our trading securities and available-for-sale investments, refer to "Short-term Investments" in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025.

Cautionary Statement:

Forward-looking statements in this report and in other Company statements include statements regarding expected commencement dates of mining or metal production operations, projected quantities of future metal production, anticipated production rates, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures as well as projected demand or supply for the Company's products. Actual results could differ materially depending upon factors including the risks and uncertainties relating to general U.S. and international economic and political conditions, the cyclical and volatile prices of copper, other commodities and supplies, including fuel and electricity, availability of materials, insurance coverage, equipment, required permits or approvals and financing, the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions, lower than expected ore grades, water and geological problems, the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications, failure to obtain financial assurance to meet closure and remediation obligations, labor relations, litigation and environmental risks as well as political and economic risk associated with foreign operations. Results of operations are directly affected by metal prices on commodity exchanges that can be volatile.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2025, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's disclosure committee and the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness and the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2025, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Southern Copper Corporation:

**Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements**

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Southern Copper Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 3, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

**Basis for Review Results**

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings:

The information provided in Note 10 "Commitments and Contingencies" to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I of this Form 10-Q, is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors:

The Company's operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in "Risk Factors" included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. The following supplements and updates the risk factor previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Potential developments in the United States, regulatory uncertainty, tariff threats and trade tensions may affect the Company's business and results of operations.***

Our business operations may be adversely affected by changes in regulatory policies. Imposing new tariffs on imports could significantly affect our cost structures and pricing strategies. The uncertainty surrounding potential tariff policies may complicate our supply chain planning and international trade relationships while increasing costs for raw materials and goods. These events, should they materialize, may impact our profitability and competitive positioning in the market.

Additionally, changes in international trade policies and relationships may affect global commodity prices and market conditions and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions; trade tensions; or other changes in governmental policies related to taxes, tariffs, trade agreements or any policies, are difficult to predict and could adversely affect the demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers and the U.S. economy and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations. In April 2025, reciprocal tariffs were enacted by the United States government for imports from several countries. Most of these tariffs were paused but are expected to go into effect on August 1, 2025. In July 2025, the United States announced trade agreements with the European Union and Japan. The pause for reciprocal tariffs with China expires on August 12, but the trade tensions between these countries have deescalated as negotiations were conducted during July. In addition, on July 30, 2025, the United States also announced a 50% tariff on imports of semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive derivative products effective August 1, 2025. The financial markets reacted to these developments, causing fluctuations in the market prices for our main products and our common stock. We cannot assure that the market prices of our products and our common stock, our financial condition or our results of operations will not be adversely affected by any potential future developments related to tariffs, trade tensions or regulatory uncertainty.

Despite our risk management efforts and mitigation strategies, we cannot provide any assurance that such measures will be successful in addressing or minimizing the impact of political, regulatory, and trade-related risks on our business operations and financial results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds:

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures:

Not applicable.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Item 5. Other Information:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of Southern Copper Corporation adopted or terminated any "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as such terms are defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
