Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2023 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to metal prices and mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of production amortization calculations, environmental, reclamation and closure obligations, estimates of recoverable silver and gold on stockpiles and leach pad inventories, estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments, equity securities, asset acquisitions, the allocation of fair value to assets and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, and derivative instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results will differ from the amounts estimated in these financial statements.

Ore on Leach Pads

The heap leach process extracts silver and gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applying a diluted cyanide solution that dissolves a portion of the contained silver and gold, which are then recovered in metallurgical processes. The Company uses several integrated steps to scientifically measure the metal content of ore placed on the leach pads. As the ore body is drilled in preparation for the blasting process, samples are taken of the drill residue which are assayed to determine estimated quantities of contained metal. The Company then processes the ore through crushing facilities where the output is again weighed and sampled for assaying. A metallurgical reconciliation with the data collected from the mining operation is completed with appropriate adjustments made to previous estimates. The crushed ore is then transported to the leach pad for application of the leaching solution. As the leach solution is collected from the leach pads, it is continuously sampled for assaying. The quantity of leach solution is measured by flow meters throughout the leaching and precipitation process. After precipitation, the product is converted to doré at the Rochester mine and a form of gold electrolytic cathodic sludge at the Wharf mine, representing the final product produced by each mine. The inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method.

The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within 12 months is classified as current and the historical cost of metals contained within the broken ore expected to be extracted beyond 12 months is classified as non-current. Ore on leach pads is valued based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pad, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate. The ultimate recovery will not be known until leaching operations cease. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a review of the estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on its leach pads and determined that as a result of longer expected leach time and favorable recoveries relative to previous estimates, that the estimated recoverable gold and silver on the Rochester legacy (Stages II, III and IV) leach pads supported an upward revision. An additional 6,000 ounces of gold and 900,000 ounces of silver were added to the legacy leach pads in the first quarter of 2024. The updated recoverable ounce estimate is considered a change in estimate and was accounted for prospectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on the leach pads were 30,953 and 4.9 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

2029 Senior Notes

In March 2021, the Company completed an offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for net proceeds of approximately $367.5 million (the “2029 Senior Notes”). For more details, please see Note 9 -- Debt contained in the 2023 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company exchanged $5.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Senior Notes plus accrued interest for 1.8 million shares of its common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of the exchange, the exchanges resulted in a gain of $0.4 million on debt extinguishment. The exchange transaction represents a non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

Revolving Credit Facility

At March 31, 2024, the Company had $225.0 million drawn at a weighted-average interest rate of 9.2%, $29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and $145.4 million available under its $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”). Future borrowing may be subject to certain financial covenants. For more details, please see Note 9 -- Debt contained in the 2023 10-K.

On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to extend and enhance its RCF (the “February 2024 Amendment”). The February 2024 Amendment, among other things, (1) extends the term of the RCF by approximately two years so that it now matures in February 2027, (2) increases the RCF by $10 million from $390 million to $400 million, (3) adds Fédération Des Caisses Desjardins Du Québec and National Bank of Canada as lenders on the RCF, (4) permits the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in incremental loans and commitments, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from relevant lenders to provide such increase, (5) allows for unencumbered domestic cash to be included in the calculation of the consolidated net leverage ratio, and (6) allows up to $15 million of non-capitalized underground mine development costs related to Silvertip to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF.

Finance Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into a new lease financing arrangement for mining equipment at Kensington for $1.0 million. All finance lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments. For more details, please see Note 8 -- Leases in the 2023 10-K.

			$	(13,093)	$	(16,024)	$	(13,878)	$	(10,708)

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $16.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (122.4)%. This compares to income tax expense of $10.7 million for an effective tax rate of (77.2)% during the first quarter of 2023. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) mining taxes; (ii) variations in the Company’s income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) percentage depletion; (v) foreign exchange rate; and (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company ultimately will be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2023 10-K.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations remains open from 2020 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2016 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. Regarding the statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next 12 months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that there will be no further decrease in any unrecognized income tax benefits.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties were not significant. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense.

NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.2 million, compared to $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, there was $14.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.9 years.

The following table summarizes the grants awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2024:


Grant date	Restricted stock	Grant date fair value of restricted stock		Performance shares	Grant date fair value of performance shares

Accounting standards establish 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), secondary priority to quoted prices in inactive markets or observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes was estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of the RCF approximates book value as the liability is secured, has a variable interest rate, and lacks significant credit concerns.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. Derivative gains and losses are included in operating cash flows in the period in which they contractually settle. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices, particularly during times of elevated capital expenditures, the Company enters into forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly, and if the actual price of gold or silver at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed price, it would result in a realized gain or

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:


In thousands except average prices and notional ounces	2024		2025 and Thereafter
Gold forwards
Average gold fixed price per ounce	$	2,100	$	—
Notional ounces	49,950		—
Silver forwards
Average silver fixed price per ounce	$	26.00	$	—
Notional ounces	1,800,000		—

The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue are recognized as a component of Revenue in the same period as the related sale is recognized.

At inception, the Company performed an assessment of the forecasted transactions and the hedging instruments and determined that the hedging relationships are considered perfectly effective. Future assessments are performed to verify that critical terms of the hedging instruments and the forecasted transactions continue to match, and the forecasted transactions remain probable, as well as an assessment of any adverse developments regarding the risk of the counterparties defaulting on their commitments. There have been no such changes in critical terms or adverse developments.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $6.1 million of net after-tax losses in AOCI related to losses from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $6.1 million of net after-tax losses is expected to be recognized in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income (loss) are dependent on the price of gold and silver for metal contracts.

The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Provisional Metal Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows:


In thousands except average prices and notional ounces	2024		2025 and Thereafter

Credit Risk

The credit risk exposure related to any derivative instrument is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 43,422 and 366,946 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive.

On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain Canadian accredited investors (the “Investors”) for a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Offering”) of an aggregate of 7,704,725 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be issued as “flow-through shares,” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), which closed on March 8, 2024. The proceeds of the Private Placement Offering will be used by the Company for certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The initial Private Placement Offering raised net proceeds of $23.7 million, of

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

which $0.9 million represents net proceeds received in excess of the Company’s trading price (“FT Premium Liability”). During the quarter the Company recognized the remaining FT Premium Liability associated with the prior year private placement offering of flow-through shares resulting in income of $2.5 million included in Other, net. The FT Premium Liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will decrease in subsequent periods as certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” are incurred.

The FT Shares were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered and sold outside the United States to accredited investors in reliance on Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act.

On March 17, 2023, the Company completed a $100.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “March 2023 Equity Offering”). The March 2023 Equity Offering was conducted pursuant to an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, entered into on February 23, 2023 between the Company and BMO Capital Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as sales agents. The Company sold a total of 32,861,580 shares of its common stock in the March 2023 Equity Offering at an average price of $3.04 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $98.4 million. Proceeds from the March 2023 Equity Offering were used to reduce outstanding amounts under the RCF and for general corporate purposes.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mexico Litigation Matters

As of March 31, 2024, $31.6 million in principal is due from the Mexican government associated with amounts that were paid as VAT under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received refunds in the normal course of these amounts paid as VAT associated with the royalty payments; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying refunds of these amounts based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana began to request refunds of these amounts paid as VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover these amounts from the Mexican government (including through refiling refund requests as undue payments rather than refunds of VAT that was due, litigation and international arbitration). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation of the matter continued at the Mexican administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels for several years, most of which was determined unfavorably to Coeur based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are contrary to legal precedent, conflicting and erroneous. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the receivable and intends to rigorously continue its recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the receivable and unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the receivable at September 30, 2021. Coeur has elected to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, to pursue recovery of the unduly paid VAT plus interest and other damages. Outcomes in NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable.

In addition, ongoing litigation with the Mexican government associated with enforcement of water rights in Mexico, if unsuccessful, may impact Coeur Mexicana’s ability to access new sources of water to provide sufficient supply for its operations at Palmarejo and, if material, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Palmarejo Gold Stream

Coeur Mexicana sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from certain properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. In 2016, Coeur Mexicana received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although Coeur Mexicana has satisfied its contractual obligation to repay the deposit to Franco-Nevada, the deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized as revenue on a units-of-production basis as ounces are sold to Franco-Nevada. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered a financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The stream agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. The remaining unamortized balance is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table presents a roll forward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

Metal Sales Prepayments

In June 2019, Coeur amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments. In December 2023, the Company received a $25.0 million prepayment, all of which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2024. In March 2024, the Company received an additional prepayment of $25.0 million.

Additionally, in June 2023, the Company entered into sales and purchase contracts with a metal sales counterparty for gold of electrolytic cathodic sludge from its Wharf mine and gold and silver doré from its Rochester mine, which was amended in September 2023 to increase the maximum amount available in prepayments to $12.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively. In December 2023, Wharf and Rochester received prepayments of $12.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively, all of which

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

were recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2024. In March 2024, Wharf and Rochester received prepayments of $12.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

The metal sales prepayments represent a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold and silver ounce delivered to the customer. The remaining contract liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the relevant terms of the Amended Sales Contract, Coeur maintains its exposure to the price of gold and expects to recognize the remaining value of the accrued liability by June 2024. See Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K for additional detail.

Kensington Royalty Matter

On March 28, 2024, the Company and its subsidiary Coeur Alaska, Inc. (“Coeur Alaska”) entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation with Maverix Metals Inc. and Maverix Metals (Nevada) Inc. (collectively “Maverix”) regarding the terms of a royalty impacting a portion of the Kensington mine property (the “Maverix Litigation”). While Coeur Alaska continued to believe its claims and counterclaims in the matter were valid, it determined that the settlement was appropriate given the inherent uncertainty presented in litigation matters. In consideration for the dismissal of the Maverix Litigation and pursuant to other customary terms of settlement, Coeur Alaska and Maverix agreed to amend the terms of the royalty to decrease the effective rate of the royalty and to eliminate the concept of cost recoupment provided for in the original royalty. The amended royalty now provides that Coeur Alaska pays a net returns royalty on up to two million troy ounces of gold produced from the current boundaries of the Kensington mine at a rate of: (i) 1.25% for production occurring from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and (ii) 1.5% for production occurring on or after January 1, 2027. The Company also agreed to issue up to 2,455,000 shares of its common stock to an affiliate of Maverix, including common stock having a then-current fair market value of $3.0 million by April 2, 2024, and common stock having a then-current fair market value of $3.75 million by March 28, 2025 (collectively, the “Settlement Shares”), with a cash-settlement of any shortfall in value if all 2,455,000 shares of common stock are issued. The settlement provides that credit for the value of certain portions of equity issued to be credited against the royalty, as amended, as payment in arrears for production prior to January 1, 2024. In April 2024, the Company issued 737,210 shares to settle the first equity issuance valued at $3.0 million. The issuance of the Settlement Shares is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Mining Concession

On November 20, 2023, Coeur Mexicana signed a purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Fresnillo plc to acquire mining concessions adjacent to the Palmarejo mine. Total consideration includes a cash payment of approximately $25 million, with $10 million due at closing, an additional $10 million payable 12 months after closing, and an additional $5 million payable 24 months after closing. The concessions will be subject to an inflation-adjusted royalty payment of $25 per ounce for each new gold-equivalent ounce of resource discovered between 450,000 and two million gold equivalent ounces. Closing is subject to applicable regulatory approvals in Mexico.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold and silver hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had surety bonds totaling $333.3 million and $324.8 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and, from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash or letters of credit which reduce availability under its revolving credit facility, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”, “our”, or “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of these measures, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures” at the end of this Item. We provide Costs applicable to sales (“CAS”) allocation, referred to as the co-product method, based on revenue contribution for Palmarejo and Rochester and based on the primary metal, referred to as the by-product method, for Wharf. Revenue from secondary metal, such as silver at Wharf, is treated as a cost credit.

Overview

We are primarily a gold and silver producer with operating assets located in the United States and Mexico and an exploration project in Canada.

First Quarter Highlights

For the quarter, Coeur reported revenue of $213.1 million and cash used in operating activities of $15.9 million. We reported GAAP net loss of $29.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $44.3 million and net loss of $19.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share.

•Strong year-over-year production increases in-line with 2024 guidance – Solid performances at Palmarejo and Wharf led to total production of 80,744 ounces of gold and 2.6 million ounces of silver compared to 69,039 ounces of gold and 2.5 million ounces of silver in the first quarter of 2023. Production levels are expected to increase over the balance of 2024, driven primarily by the ramp-up at Rochester

•Increased revenue and adjusted EBITDA driven by increased production and lower costs – Revenue increased 14% year-over-year while adjusted EBITDA increased 76% compared to the first quarter of 2023, raising adjusted LTM EBITDA by 32% to $162 million through the end of the period compared to a year ago. The Company also saw a 5% reduction year-over-year in cost applicable to sales, totaling $146 million for the first quarter

•Commercial production achieved at Rochester; ramp-up on-track – Commissioning of Rochester’s new three-stage crushing circuit and truck load-out facility was completed on March 7, 2024. The crushing circuit has routinely exceeded 70,000 tons per day since commissioning was completed. Commercial production was achieved as of March 31, 2024 and the ramp-up to sustained nameplate capacity of 88,000 tons per day remains on schedule for the end of the second quarter

•Kensington’s multi-year program on target to increase mine life by year-end – The Company continued its multi-year underground mine development and exploration program, investing approximately $14 million during the quarter. Coeur has now completed roughly 71% of total underground mine development and drilling since inception of the program in 2022. The program is expected to extend Kensington’s reserve-based mine life beyond five years by the end of 2024

•Published 2023 ESG Report – On April 23, 2024, Coeur published its 2023 ESG Report which highlighted the critical role in the modern economy of the metals the Company produces and progress on ESG priorities, such as ongoing adoption of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management and the roll-out of Coeur’s Biodiversity Management Standard, as well as advances in climate resilience including the expectation to achieve a 35% reduction in net intensity of greenhouse gas emissions by year-end

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months March 31, 2024 compared to Three Months December 31, 2023

Revenue

We sold 81,416 gold ounces and 2.6 million silver ounces, compared to 99,540 gold ounces and 3.0 million silver ounces. Revenue decreased by $49.0 million, or 19%, as a result of a 18% and 13% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, and a 1% and 5% decrease in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively. The decrease in gold and silver ounces sold was primarily due to timing of recoveries at Rochester driven by the commissioning and ongoing ramp-up of the new three stage crusher after initial ounces from ore stacked throughout 2023 on the new leach pad were recovered in the three months ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, the decrease in gold and silver ounces sold resulted from lower grade and timing of recoveries at Wharf and lower mill throughput and lower grade at Kensington, partially offset by higher gold and silver grades and higher recoveries at Palmarejo. Gold and silver represented 71% and 29% of first quarter 2024 sales revenue, respectively, compared to 72% and 28% of fourth quarter 2023 sales revenue, respectively.

The following table summarizes consolidated metal sales:


	Three Months Ended				Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Change

Metal sales	$	213,060	$	262,090	$	(49,030)	(19)	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales decreased $46.3 million, or 24%, primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold, the favorable impact of the estimated recoverable ounces on the legacy leach pad and a lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCM”) adjustment at Rochester. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $7.3 million, or 21%, primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold, the favorable impact of the estimated recoverable ounces on the legacy leach pad and a lower LCM adjustment at Rochester.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million, or 41%, primarily due to higher employee incentive and stock-based compensation costs.

Exploration expense decreased $0.5 million, or 4%, driven by lower planned drilling activity at Palmarejo.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $6.5 million, or 26%, stemming from a $12.8 million loss on dismantling and disposal of the legacy crusher at Rochester in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by the Kensington royalty settlement of $6.8 million.

The following table summarizes pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses:

Other Income and Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a $0.4 million gain in connection with the exchange of $5.9 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of 2029 Senior Notes for 1.8 million shares of common stock, compared to a loss of $0.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

The Company did not have Fair value adjustments, net, in the first quarter of 2024 following the sale of the Company’s equity investments in 2023.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.0 million) increased to $12.9 million from $7.4 million due to lower capitalized interest and higher interest paid under the RCF and finance lease obligations.

Other, net increased to a gain of $2.8 million compared to $2.6 million as a result of a higher recognition of the FT Premium Liability income of $2.5 million compared to $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 following the renouncement of Silvertip exploration expenditures.

Income and Mining Taxes

Income and mining tax expense of approximately $16.0 million resulted in an effective tax rate of (122.4)% for three months ended March 31, 2024. This compares to income tax expense of $8.5 million for an effective tax rate of 49.9% for three months ended December 31, 2023. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) percentage depletion; (ii) mining taxes; (iii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iv) geographic distribution of that income; (v) foreign exchange rates; and (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will ultimately be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see “Item 1A - Risk Factors”.

Net Loss

Net loss was $29.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $25.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. The increase in net loss was driven by a 18% and 13% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, a 1% and 5% decrease in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher employee incentive and stock-based compensation costs, higher interest expense, and the Kensington royalty settlement of $6.8 million. This was partially offset by a lower LCM adjustment at Rochester, lower disposal and dismantling of assets costs at Rochester, and lower income and mining taxes. Adjusted net loss was $19.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Three Months March 31, 2024 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Revenue

We sold 81,416 gold ounces and 2.6 million silver ounces, compared to 70,866 gold ounces and 2.6 million silver ounces. Revenue increased by $25.8 million, or 14%, as a result of a 15% increase in gold ounces sold, a 4% and 1% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively. Average realized gold prices were affected by higher gold spot prices, which resulted in lower realized gains from gold hedges. The increase in gold and silver ounces sold was primarily due to higher gold and silver grades and higher recoveries at Palmarejo, higher mill throughput at Kensington and higher tons placed and timing of recoveries at Wharf, partially offset by fewer ounces produced at Rochester from the legacy leach pads as Rochester transitioned in 2023 to the new leach pad and from lower grades at Kensington. Gold and silver represented 71% and 29% of first quarter 2024 sales revenue, respectively, compared to 68% and 32% of first quarter 2023 sales revenue, respectively.

Metal sales	$	213,060	$	187,298	$	25,762	14	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales decreased $7.1 million, or 5%, primarily due to the favorable impact of the estimated recoverable ounces on the legacy leach pad and a lower LCM adjustment at Rochester, partially offset by higher gold and silver ounces sold. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization increased $4.6 million, or 20%, primarily due to higher gold and silver ounces sold and the commencement of production of the new leach pad in mid-September 2023 at Rochester, partially offset by a lower LCM at Rochester.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, or 19%, primarily due to higher employee incentive and stock-based compensation costs, and higher outside service costs.

Exploration expense increased $5.8 million, or 126%, as a result of resuming exploration activities after a temporary ramp down of projects in the fourth quarter of 2022 that lead to lower exploration expense in the first quarter of 2023 and drilling activity at Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased $7.3 million, or 67%, stemming from the Kensington royalty settlement of $6.8 million and higher asset losses on the sale of assets, partially offset by lower ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip.

Other Income and Expenses

The Company did not have Fair value adjustments, net, in the first quarter of 2024 following the sale of the Company’s equity investments in 2023.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.0 million) increased to $12.9 million from $7.4 million due to higher interest paid under the RCF attributable to higher average debt levels, and lower capitalized interest.

Other, net increased to a gain of $2.8 million compared to a loss of $1.0 million as a result of the recognition of the FT Premium Liability income of $2.5 million following the renouncement of Silvertip exploration expenditures and higher foreign exchange losses in the first quarter of 2023.

Income and mining tax expense of approximately $16.0 million resulted in an effective tax rate of (122.4)% for 2024. This compares to income tax expense of $10.7 million for an effective tax rate of (77.2)% for 2023. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) mining taxes; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) percentage depletion; (v) foreign exchange rates; and (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will ultimately be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see “Item 1A - Risk Factors”.

Net Loss

Net loss was $29.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $24.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. The increase in net loss was driven by the Kensington royalty settlement of $6.8 million, higher exploration costs, higher interest expense, and favorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments in the first quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by a 15% increase in gold ounces sold, a 4% and 1% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, a lower LCM adjustment at Rochester, lower ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip and lower income and mining taxes. Adjusted net loss was $19.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $33.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Silvertip

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Exploration expense increased to $5.3 million in the first three months of 2024 compared to $1.5 million in the prior year quarter as the Company continues to focus on increasing the mineral resource at Silvertip. Ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip totaled $2.4 million in the first three months of 2024 and $6.2 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2024 totaled $0.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2024, the Company had $69.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $145.4 million available under the RCF. Future borrowing under the RCF may be subject to certain financial covenants. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to $42.1 million of capital expenditures primarily related to the Rochester expansion project, an 18% and 13% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, and a 1% and 5% decrease in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, partially offset by net proceeds of $23.7 million from the sale of 7.7 million shares of its common stock in the Private Placement Offering (as defined below).

In March 2024, the Company completed the sale of 7,704,725 shares of its common stock (“Private Placement Offering”) issued as “flow-through shares” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), raising net proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, of which $0.9 million represents net proceeds received in excess of the Company’s average price (“FT Premium Liability”). The proceeds of the issuance of FT Shares will be used by the Company for certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), in conducting an exploration and mineral resource evaluation program on the Silvertip Property in British Columbia and Yukon to determine the existence, location, extent, and quality of the silver, lead, and zinc on the Silvertip Property.

The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 49,950 ounces of gold and 1.8 million ounces of silver at March 31, 2024 that settle monthly through June 2024 in order to protect cash flow during the Rochester expansion ramp-up and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $2,100 per ounce of gold and $26.00 per ounce of silver.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company exchanged $5.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Senior Notes plus accrued interest for 1.8 million shares of its common stock.

We currently believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and longer-term. We expect to use a combination of cash provided by operating activities under-pinned by our gold and silver hedging programs, additional equity financing, and borrowings under our RCF depending on future commodity prices to fund near term capital requirements, including those described in this report for the Rochester expansion project and in our 2024 capital expenditure guidance. Our longer-term plans contemplate the expansion and restart of Silvertip, as well as the continued exploration to extend mine lives at all of our operating sites.

We also have additional obligations as part of our ordinary course of business, beyond those committed for capital expenditures and other purchase obligations and commitments for purchases of goods and services.

If and to the extent liquidity resources are insufficient to support short- and long-term expenditures, we may need to

incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities, among other financing options, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company, as discussed in more detail under Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2023 10-K.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $15.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $65.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and net cash used in operating activities of $35.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $44.3 million, compared to $64.3 million for three months ended December 31, 2023 and $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”). Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was impacted by the following key factors for the applicable periods:

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(15,871)	$	65,277	$	(35,003)

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $81.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a 18% and 13% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, timing of interest payments, timing of recoveries caused by delayed ramp-up of the new three-stage crushing circuit at Rochester, timing of VAT collections at Palmarejo, and prepayments received in the fourth quarter of 2023. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $49.0 million, of which $43.2 million was due to lower volume of gold and silver sales, and $5.8 million as a result of lower average realized gold and silver prices.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 15% increase in gold ounces sold, a 4% and 1% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, offsetting impact of the receipt of prepayments and prepaid revenue in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by the timing of recoveries caused by delayed ramp-up of the new three-stage crushing circuit at Rochester, timing of VAT collections at Palmarejo, and higher exploration costs. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $25.8 million, of which $19.9 million was due to higher volume of gold sales, and $5.8 million as the result of higher average gold and silver prices.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $42.1 million compared to $86.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023. Cash used in investing activities decreased due to lower capital expenditures at Rochester following the completion of the expansion construction and the sale of the Company’s equity investments in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $42.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with $92.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 primarily related to expansion construction activities at Rochester and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in both periods.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $42.1 million compared to $29.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash used in investing activities increased due to net proceeds of $39.8 million received from the sale of its remaining Victoria Gold Common Shares and $5.0 million received from the sale of the La Preciosa project in 2023, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures at Rochester. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $42.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with $74.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily related to expansion construction activities at Rochester and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in both periods.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $63.8 million compared to $29.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company

received net proceeds of $23.7 million from the sale of 7.7 million shares of its common stock in the Private Placement Offering, and drew $50.0 million, net, from the RCF. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company drew $35.0 million, net, from the RCF.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $63.8 million compared to $69.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $23.7 million from the sale of 7.7 million shares of its common stock in the Private Placement Offering, and drew $50.0 million, net, from the RCF. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repaid $20.0 million, net, under the RCF and received net proceeds of $98.4 million from the sale of 32.9 million shares of its common stock in the March 2023 Equity Offering.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in this Report for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Ore on Leach Pads

The estimate of both the ultimate recovery expected over time and the quantity of metal that may be extracted relative to the time the leach process occurs requires the use of estimates, which are inherently inaccurate due to the nature of the leaching process. The quantities of metal contained in the ore are based upon actual weights and assay analysis. The rate at which the leach process extracts gold and silver from the crushed ore is based upon laboratory testing and actual experience of more than 20 years of leach pad operations at the Rochester mine and 30 years of leach pad operations at the Wharf mine. The assumptions used by the Company to measure metal content during each stage of the inventory conversion process includes estimated recovery rates based on laboratory testing and assaying. The Company periodically reviews its estimates compared to actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate. The ultimate recovery will not be known until leaching operations cease. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a review of the estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on its leach pads and determined that as a result of longer expected leach time and favorable recoveries relative to previous estimates that the estimated recoverable gold and silver on the Rochester legacy (Stages II, III and IV) leach pads supported an upward revision. An additional 6,000 ounces of gold and 900,000 ounces of silver were added to the legacy leach pads in the first quarter of 2024. The updated recoverable ounce estimate is considered a change in estimate and was accounted for prospectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on the leach pads were 30,953 and 4.9 million, respectively.

Other Liquidity Matters

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources in the U.S. are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities. The Company has asserted a partial indefinite reinvestment of earnings from its Mexican operations as determined by management’s judgment about, and intentions concerning, the future operations of the Company. The Company does not believe that the amounts reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.

In order to reduce indebtedness, fund future cash interest payments and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption and for general working capital purposes, from time-to-time we may (1) issue equity securities for cash in public or private offerings or (2) repurchase certain of our debt securities for cash or in exchange for other securities, which may include secured or unsecured notes or equity, in each case in open market or privately negotiated transactions. We evaluate any such transactions in light of prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be significant and any debt repurchase transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities’ face amount.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and to plan and forecast its operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and is based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. The tax effect of adjustments are based on statutory tax rates and the Company’s tax attributes, including the impact through the Company’s valuation allowance. The combined effective rate of tax adjustments may not be consistent with the statutory tax rates or the Company’s effective tax rate due to jurisdictional tax attributes and related valuation allowance impacts which may minimize the tax effect of certain adjustments and may not apply to gains and losses equally. Adjusted net income (loss) is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company believes the use of EBITDA reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used in the indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes and the RCF to determine our ability to make certain payments and incur additional indebtedness. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Net income (Loss) or Cash Flow from Operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and those calculations may not be comparable to our presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:

Free Cash Flow

Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities less Capital expenditures as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow.

Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital

Management uses Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities excluding the change in Receivables, Prepaid expenses and other, Inventories and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

Costs Applicable to Sales

Management uses CAS to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and life of mine performance from discovery through reclamation. We believe these measures assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing gold and silver, assessing our operating performance and ability to generate free cash flow from operations and sustaining production. These measures may not be indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Management believes that allocating CAS to gold and silver based on gold and silver metal sales relative to total metal sales best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit, converting to silver equivalent ounces, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations and engages in risk management strategies to mitigate these risks. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 12 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements”. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 of this Report - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.

Gold and Silver Prices

Gold and silver prices may fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as U.S. dollar strength or weakness, demand, investor sentiment, inflation or deflation, and global mine production. The Company’s profitability and cash flow may be significantly impacted by changes in the market price of gold and silver.

Decreases in the market price of gold and silver can also significantly affect the value of our metal inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact our carrying value of long-lived assets.

Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and metal inventory adjustments at March 31, 2024 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $2,070 and $1,825 per ounce, respectively, and a short-term and long-term silver price of $23.34 and $23.33 per ounce, respectively.

The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Hedging

To mitigate the risks associated with metal price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 49,950 and 1.8 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, at March 31, 2024 that settle monthly through June 2024 in order to protect cash flow during the Rochester expansion ramp-up, and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $2,100 per ounce of gold and $26.00 per ounce of silver. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the spot price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The forward contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price is below the spot price of a commodity, and (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Report.

At March 31, 2024, the fair value of the gold forward contracts was a liability of $8.0 million and the fair value of the silver forward contracts was an asset of $1.8 million. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.8 million related to expired gold and silver contracts, respectively, in Revenue and the remaining outstanding gold and silver forward contracts were included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A 10% increase and decrease in the price of gold at March 31, 2024 would result in a net realized loss and gain of $13.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. A 10% increase and decrease in the price of silver at March 31, 2024 would result in a net realized loss and gain of $1.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The March 31, 2024 closing price of gold and silver was $2,214 and $24.54 per ounce, respectively. As of April 30, 2024, the closing price of gold and silver was $2,307 and $26.66, per ounce, respectively.

Provisional Metal Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. Depending on the difference between the price at the time of sale and the final settlement price, embedded derivatives are recorded as either a derivative asset or liability. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, are marked to the market gold and silver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. At March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 11,781 ounces of gold at an average price of $2,112. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $490 thousand during the 12 months ended March 31, 2024. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.5 million.

Foreign Currency

The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand, which exposes it to foreign currency exchange rate risks. Foreign currency exchange rates are influenced by world market factors beyond the Company’s control, such as supply and demand for U.S. and foreign currencies and related monetary and fiscal policies. Fluctuations in local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar may significantly impact profitability and cash flow.

Foreign Exchange Hedging

To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts. In 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts at March 31, 2024.

Interest Rates

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company may use financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on loans, which exposes it to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. The Company seeks to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what it believes are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps at March 31, 2024.

Investment Risk

Equity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. The Company had no equity securities at March 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
