Analysis · BVN · Energy & Transportation
Buenaventura delivered a strong third quarter across the board: revenue rose 27% to $545.3 million and net income jumped 50% to $268.4 million, lifting nine-month net income 95% to $825.4 million. EBITDA from direct operations climbed 34% to $261.2 million, and including affiliates it reached $509.5 million. The balance sheet is the standout — $1,000.6 million of cash against negative net debt of $307.3 million, a net cash position with a leverage ratio of negative 0.25x. Against that, the Board approved a $0.5508 per share/ADS dividend, returning cash to holders. The one operational blemish is San Gabriel, where processing stayed constrained for most of the quarter during tailings filtration reinforcement; processing resumed in the final week of September with roughly 100,000 metric tons stockpiled, and more reinforcement work is planned over the next six months, so ramp-up timing there remains the thing to track.
