SQM PRESENTS ACCOUNTING RECONCILIATION BETWEEN 20-F AND CMF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024

Santiago, Chile. April 25, 2025.- Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. ("SQM" or the "Company") (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) announced today that it has filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Form 20-F"), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

SQM’s Form 20-F can be accessed by visiting either the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.sqm.com.

In relation to the matter reported in the press release (hecho esencial) dated April 7, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors reviewed the accounting treatment of the tax claims the Company has with the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“Servicio de Impuestos Internos” or “SII”) as a result of the erroneous application by the SII of the specific tax on mining activities for the exploitation of lithium, as disclosed in note 21.3 of the most recent financial statements filed by the Company with the Chilean Financial Market Commission (“Comisión para el Mercado Financiero” or “CMF”).

As a result of this review, the financial statements that the Company has filed on the Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States (the “20-F”) include differences with respect to the last financial statements issued in Chile, as set forth below in an accounting reconciliation between the consolidated financial statements of the Company filed with the CMF on March 4, 2025, and the financial statements filed on the 20-F.
