Items this document does not state (13)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Operating profit and ordinary profit forecasts were raised because strong interim-period progress and higher metal and by-product prices, particularly copper, are expected to offset the adverse impact of the delayed start of operations at the Arqueros Mine. Net income and the dividend forecast were raised due to increased gains from, and an acceleration of, sales of cross-shareholdings.
