Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed 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, 2019. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2018 balance sheet data were 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, 2018 (the “2018 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2018 10-K.
Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
From time to time, the Company enters into contractual agreements to lease mining equipment and facilities. Based upon the Company’s assessment of the terms of a specific lease agreement, the Company will classify a lease as either finance or operating. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities related to finance leases are presented in Property, plant and equipment, net and Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases that are subject to the ASC 842 measurement requirements such as operating leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are presented in Other asset, non-current, Accrued liabilities and other, and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.    
Operating and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments, is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in that case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Operating lease ROU assets may also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components of the lease payments are expenses as incurred and are not included in determining the present value.
Accounting Standards Recently Implemented
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019 and the Company adopted it using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method approved by the FASB in July 2018, which does not require the Company to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new guidance on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to utilize the transition related practical expedients permitted by the new standard. In addition to existing finance leases and other financing obligations, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional ROU assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases of approximately $65.0 million. There was no material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or an impact on the Company’s debt covenant calculations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. See Note 7 -- Leases for additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to leasing arrangements.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating

the impact of the new standard, but it does not expect this update to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Silvertip recognized inventory write-downs of $14.0 million and $41.3 million, respectively, as a result of lower than expected production levels, grades and recovery rates as well as reduced process plant availability. It is possible that additional write-downs will be required as the Company works to optimize operations at Silvertip.

2024 Senior Notes
In May 2017, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 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 $245.0 million, followed by an exchange offer for publicly-traded 2024 Senior Notes. For more details, please see Note 18 -- Debt contained in the 2018 10-K.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into multiple privately-negotiated agreements to exchange $20 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2024 Senior Notes for approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the exchange, the exchanges resulted in an aggregate loss of $1.3 million.
Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2019, the Company had $250.0 million available under its $250.0 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) provided pursuant to the credit agreement entered into in September, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, and the Bank of Nova Scotia (the “RCF Lenders”). At September 30, 2019, the interest rate on the principal of the RCF was 5.6%. The Company has entered into interest rate swap derivative instruments with certain RCF Lenders that swap $37.5 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt (see Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments).
In April and August of 2019 the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the Agent and the RCF Lenders entered into amendments to the Credit Agreement to, among other items, modify the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility in 2019 (the "Amendments").
Finance Lease Obligations
From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for mining equipment at Silvertip, Wharf and Rochester. All capital lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments. See Note 7 -- Leases for additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to finance leasing arrangements.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $0.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (1.6%). This compares to income tax expense of $3.8 million for an effective tax rate of 7.7% during the third quarter of 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of approximately $14.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.6%. This compares to income tax expense of $19.5 million or an effective tax rate of 64.9% during the first nine months of 2018. 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) the non-recognition of tax assets; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income (iv) foreign exchange rates and (v) mining taxes. 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 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 2018 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 2016 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2011 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next twelve 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 it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease between $2.5 million and $3.5 million in the next twelve months.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $2.6 million and $3.8 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits from continuing operations, respectively, that, if recognized, would positively impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. 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. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $2.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 11 – 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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019, there was $8.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.

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 Company’s investments in equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based primarily on quoted market prices. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Quoted market prices are not available for certain debt securities; these securities are valued using pricing models, which require the use of observable and unobservable inputs, and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s other derivative instruments, net, include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts, gold and zinc hedges, and an interest rate swap which are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, and other unobservable inputs. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In July 2017, the Company sold the Endeavor Silver Stream and remaining non-core royalties to Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla”) for total consideration of $13.0 million, including a $6.7 million convertible debenture. The convertible debenture was due to mature in June 30, 2027, however, through a combination of principal repayments and conversions into Metalla shares, the convertible debenture was extinguished in February 2019.
In October 2017, the Company acquired the Silvertip mine from shareholders of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd (the “Silvertip Acquisition”). The consideration for the Silvertip Acquisition includes two $25.0 million contingent payments, which are payable in cash and common stock upon reaching a future permitting milestone and resource declaration milestone, respectively. The fair value of the Silvertip contingent consideration is estimated based on an estimated discount rate of 2.5% for the contingent permitting payment and 2.9% for the contingent resource declaration payment and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

The fair value of the Manquiri Notes Receivable (as defined below) was determined using a discounted cash flow model using a 12% discount rate which takes into consideration the increased credit risk and short duration of the Manquiri Notes Receivable. The fair value is estimated based on observable and unobservable data including yield curves and credit spreads, therefore, the Company classifies the Manquiri Notes Receivable in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy; see Note 18 -- Discontinued Operations for additional detail.
The fair value of the 2024 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 13 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. 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 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.
Interest Rate Swap
The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts in which it receives variable-rate interest and pays fixed-rate interest. The Company uses these instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates related to the RCF (see Note 8-- Debt) and does not designate the instruments as hedges from an accounting standpoint and does not apply hedge accounting. The notional amount is used to measure interest to be paid or received.

19
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the second quarter of 2019, an interest rate swap derivative instrument, with a notional amount of $50.0 million, expired and was replaced with an instrument with a notional amount of $75.0 million, which became effective in June 2019, covering a contractual term of six months and net settles monthly. Subsequent to the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company early-settled this interest rate swap derivative instrument to reflect the Company’s reduced interest rate risk exposure.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows:

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices, in the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements on a volume of 21,000 ounces of gold per month for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 12,000 ounces of gold per month for the first 8 months of 2020. The contracts are net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:
In thousands except average prices and notional ounces

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 net sales in the same period as the related revenue is recognized. For options designated as cash flow hedges, the total change in cash flows value will be considered when assessing of hedge effectiveness.
The Company has performed an assessment and determined that the terminal value of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transaction match and has qualitatively concluded that changes in the cash flows attributable to the variability of the total sales price of gold are expected to completely offset and the hedging relationship is considered perfectly effective. Future assessments are performed to verify that critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transaction 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 and the Company has concluded that there is no ineffectiveness to be recorded.
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments would be reclassified into fair value adjustments, net in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments would be reflected in fair value adjustments, net unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $1.1 million of after-tax gains in AOCI related to gains from commodity cash flow hedge transactions. The Company does not expect to recognize any of these after-tax gains in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the price of gold in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature.

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.

NOTE 15 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were 319,162 and 1,312,737 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. Similarly, 672,399 and 1,526,109 common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Palmarejo Gold Stream
Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“Coeur Mexicana”), a subsidiary of Coeur, 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 2015, 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. At September 30, 2019 the remaining unamortized balance was $11.6 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Kensington Prepayment
In June 2019, Coeur entered into a transaction with an existing metal sales counterparty whereby it amended its existing sales and purchase contract for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”) to allow for a $25.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine. In the third quarter of 2019, the Kensington mine delivered approximately $14.7 million of gold concentrate to the counterparty. The remaining deliveries of $10.6 million are recognized as a deferred revenue liability and are presented 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 full value of the accrued liability by the end of 2019.
Silvertip Contingent Consideration
A total of up to $50.0 million of contingent consideration, payable in cash and common stock, is payable in conjunction with the Silvertip Acquisition. The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of two milestones, which the Company has determined to be probable at September 30, 2019. The first milestone payment of $25.0 million is contingent upon receipt of a permit expansion for a sustained mining and milling rate of 1,000 tonnes per day (the “Permit contingent consideration”). The permit application was required to be submitted to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mining no later than June 2018 and was submitted on April 30, 2018. At September 30, 2019, the Company included the $25.0 million Permit contingent consideration in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The second milestone payment of up to $25.0 million is contingent upon the amount of resource tonnes added as of December 31, 2019. The former JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. shareholders will receive $5.0 million for a total resource of at least 2.5 million tonnes and $5.0 million for every 0.3 million tonnes over 2.5 million tonnes, up to 3.7 million tonnes (the “Resource contingent consideration”). The maximum payment of $25.0 million can be earned if the total resource (including reserves) reaches 3.7 million tonnes. The Silvertip mine’s total resource (including reserves) was approximately 3.3 million tonnes at December 31, 2018, of which 0.5 million tonnes are classified as inferred resources which are not included in the Company’s mineralized material total reported in the 2018 10-K. At September 30, 2019, the Company included the $24.8 million Resource contingent consideration in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 18 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In December 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the “Manquiri Agreement”) to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A. (“Manquiri”), which is the operator of the San Bartolomé mine and processing facility (the “Manquiri Divestiture”). On February 28, 2018, the Manquiri Divestiture was completed, and, in accordance with the Manquiri Agreement, the capital stock in Manquiri was sold to Ag-Mining Investments, AB, a privately-held Swedish company (the “Buyer”), in exchange for, among other items, (A) 2.0% net smelter returns royalty on all metals processed through the San Bartolomé mine’s processing facility (the “NSR”) and (B) promissory notes payable by the Buyer with an aggregate principal amount equal to $27.6 million (the “Manquiri Notes Receivable”). In September 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) with the Buyer pursuant to which the total aggregate principal amount of the Manquiri Notes Receivable (as described in the 2018 10-K) was reduced to $25.0 million, and the Buyer made a concurrent cash payment of $15.0 million to the Sellers in respect of the Manquiri Notes Receivable. In addition, the Company also agreed to suspend the quarterly payments in respect of the NSR until October 15, 2019 and to forgo any rights to any value added tax refunds collected or received by Manquiri. 
On February 28, 2019, the parties executed a letter agreement (the “February Letter Agreement”), which amended certain terms of the Manquiri Agreement. Pursuant to the February Letter Agreement, the Buyer agreed to accelerate repayment of the remaining aggregate $6.0 million owed under the Manquiri Notes Receivable, by making a concurrent cash payment of $2.0 million to the Company in respect of the Manquiri Notes Receivable and agreeing to pay the remaining $4.0 million outstanding principal amount in two equal installments on March 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, both of which were received. As of the date of

35
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

the entry into the February Letter Agreement, the remaining obligations under the Manquiri Agreement (including post-closing indemnification obligations) terminated. The Company recorded a $5.7 million gain on the sale Manquiri following the release of the indemnification liability (associated with termination of post-closing indemnification obligations) pursuant to the February Letter Agreement.
In addition, pursuant to the February Letter Agreement, until October 31, 2019 (the “Option Period”) the Buyer has a non-exclusive option (the “Option”) to either purchase or terminate its obligations to pay the NSR, by making a payment to Coeur of $4.8 million (the “NSR Payment Amount”). During the Option Period, the Company’s rights in respect of receipt of the NSR were suspended. Since the Buyer did not exercise the Option and pay the NSR Payment Amount to Coeur during the Option Period, the Buyer’s obligations to pay the NSR resumed for the quarterly period beginning on July 1, 2019 and ending September 30, 2019, and such payment shall be payable by the expiration of the Option Period.
The sale of Manquiri and the San Bartolomé mine had a significant effect on the Company's results and operations. Accordingly, San Bartolomé’s operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are classified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as Income (loss) from discontinued operations. The major classes of line items constituting the pretax profit or loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

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”) split, referred to as the co-product method, based on revenue contribution for Palmarejo, Rochester and Silvertip 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 five operating mines located in the United States, Canada and Mexico and several exploration projects in North America.     
Third Quarter 2019 Highlights
Third quarter 2019 results included revenue of $199.5 million and cash flow from operating activities of $42.0 million. Including non-cash write downs of $15.0 million taken in the quarter, the Company reported GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $14.3 million, or $0.06 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $61.0 million and net loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million, or $0.02 per share.
•
Strong increases in quarterly financial results - Revenue, operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA1 increased 23%, 59% and 99%, respectively, quarter-over-quarter. Strong financial performance was driven by a 15% increase in Companywide gold production and higher precious metals prices during the quarter
•
Second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow1 - The Company generated $11.3 million of free cash flow1 during the third quarter, approximately double the amount in the prior period. The second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow1 was driven by strong performance at Palmarejo and Wharf
•
Successful commissioning of new crushing circuit at Rochester - Rochester began processing ore through its new three-stage crushing circuit, including the high-pressure grinding roll (“HPGR”) unit, during the quarter. Fourth quarter results are expected to improve, reflecting a full quarter with the new crusher circuit in place
•
Continued strong performance at Kensington - Kensington produced 34,156 ounces of gold and year-over-year gold production increased 34%. Results reflect the continued benefit of higher-grade ore from Jualin, which is expected to drive production and costs in-line with full-year guidance ranges
•
19% quarter-over-quarter reduction in total debt2 - Coeur retired over $70.0 million of indebtedness during the quarter, including the remaining balance outstanding under its $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “RCF”). The Company has reduced total debt2 by approximately $160.0 million since the beginning of the year. Coeur completed its previously announced $75.0 million at-the-market common stock offering program, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $73.9 million. The Company also exchanged $20.0 million of aggregate principal of its senior unsecured notes for common stock in privately negotiated transactions during the quarter.
•
72% increase in cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019 totaled $65.3 million, 72% higher compared to the prior quarter

Consolidated Financial Results
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue
Revenue increased by $50.7 million as a result of higher gold (12%) and silver (3%) ounces sold coupled with a 23% and 17% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, and the inclusion of full-quarter sales from Silvertip, which commenced commercial production in September 2018. The Company sold 100,407 gold ounces, 3.0 million silver ounces, 4.1 million zinc pounds and 4.3 million lead pounds compared to 89,609 gold ounces, 2.9 million silver ounces, 1.8 million zinc pounds and 1.2 million lead pounds in the prior year.

Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales increased primarily due to higher sales volume at Palmarejo, Kensington and Wharf, the inclusion of full-quarter sales from Silvertip and a $14.0 million write-down of inventory at Silvertip. Full year 2019 unit costs are expected to remain within the guidance ranges disclosed in the 2018 10-K. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.
Amortization
Amortization increased $14.5 million, or 46%, resulting from the inclusion of full-quarter sales at Silvertip and higher sales at Palmarejo, Kensington and Wharf.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 25%, primarily due to higher compensation costs and higher legal fees.
Exploration expense decreased $2.3 million, or 28%, as a result of lower near-mine exploration costs at Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip as well as lower greenfields explorations expense in the United States and Mexico, partially offset by exploration expense at the Sterling and Crown project located in southern Nevada. The Company completed 86,018 (26,218 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 24,343 feet (7,420 meters) of resource infill drilling in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 88,296 feet (26,912 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 76,243 feet (23,239 meters) of resource infill drilling in the third quarter of 2018.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 40%, stemming from a $3.4 million write-down of property, plant and equipment at Rochester in 2018.
Other Income and Expenses
The Company incurred a $1.3 million loss in connection with the exchange of $20 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2024 Senior Notes for approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.
Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $4.4 million from $0.7 million as a result of favorable fair value adjustments and realized gains related to the Company’s equity investment in Metalla, which has an estimated fair value of $20.9 million at September 30, 2019.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.4 million) remained comparable at $6.0 million.

40

Income and Mining Taxes    
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $0.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.6%. This compares to income tax expense of $3.8 million or an effective tax rate of 7.7% during the third quarter of 2018.

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) the non-recognition of tax assets; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income (iv) foreign exchange rates and (v) mining taxes. 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 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 the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2018 10-K.
Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations was $14.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to net loss of $53.0 million, or $0.29 per share. The increase in net income from continuing operations was driven by the net impact of higher sales in 2019 and the 2018 write-downs of $18.6 million on the consideration received from the Manquiri Divestiture and $3.4 million of property, plant and equipment at Rochester. Adjusted net loss was $5.3 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $19.7 million, or $0.11 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue
Revenue increased by $34.4 million as a result of an 8% increase in average realized gold prices and the inclusion of full-year sales from Silvertip, which commenced commercial production in September 2018, partially offset by fewer silver (7%) ounces sold and a 2% decrease in average realized silver prices. The Company sold 272,118 gold ounces, 8.7 million silver ounces, 14.1 million zinc pounds and 12.3 million lead pounds compared to 271,217 gold ounces, 9.3 million silver ounces, 1.8 million zinc lead pounds and 1.2 million lead pounds in the prior year. Gold contributed 70% of sales, silver contributed 26%, zinc contributed 2% and lead contributed 2%, compared to 69% of sales from gold and 31% from silver.

Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations was $75.9 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to net loss of $49.4 million, or $0.27 per share. The decrease in net income from continuing operations was driven by higher operating costs which included a write-down of $41.3 million at Silvertip of metal inventory as a result of lower than expected production levels, partially offset by a favorable change in income and mining tax. Adjusted net loss was $51.3 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $18.3 million, or $0.10 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).
Net Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
In respect of San Bartolomé’s operating results, income increased $5.1 million. In February 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to the gain from the Manquiri Divestiture following the release of a liability associated with the Company’s post-closing indemnification obligations which were extinguished pursuant to the February Letter Agreement.
2019 Guidance Framework

The Company’s 2019 production and CAS guidance remains unchanged from its original guidance disclosed in the 2018 10-K.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold and silver production increased 14% and 11%, respectively, resulting from higher mined tons from Guadalupe, Independencia and La Nación, which began production in the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by lower gold and silver grades and lower gold and silver recoveries. Metal sales were $71.3 million, or 36% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $55.5 million, or 37% of Coeur’s metal sales. Lower production and higher consumable costs resulted in an 8% and 7% increase in costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce, respectively. Amortization increased to $15.8 million due to higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $7.8 million from $4.7 million due to higher mining equipment expenditures and higher underground development expenditures at La Nación.

43

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold and silver production decreased 9% and 16%, respectively, resulting from lower gold and silver grades and lower gold and silver recoveries, partially offset by higher mined tons from Guadalupe, Independencia and La Nación. Metal sales were $183.9 million, or 36% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $196.2 million, or 41% of Coeur’s metal sales. Lower production and higher consumable costs resulted in a 32% and 21% increase in costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce, respectively. Amortization decreased to $44.6 million primarily due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures remained comparable at $24.1 million and focused on mining equipment expenditures and underground development.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold and silver production decreased 46% and 24%, respectively, due to reduced placement rates caused by the planned commissioning of the new crusher configuration and lower silver grades. Metal sales were $27.5 million, or 14% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $35.5 million, or 24% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased 60% and 50%, respectively, due to a one-time charge associated with the operation’s power costs, lower production and planned mining equipment maintenance, partially offset by lower crushing costs. Amortization decreased to $4.3 million due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $10.2 million from $3.6 million due to the commissioning of the new crushing circuit, including the HPGR unit and Plan of Operations Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) capital expenditures.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold and silver production decreased 36% and 18%, respectively, due to reduced placement rates caused by adverse weather conditions in the beginning of the year, the planned commissioning of the new crusher configuration and lower gold and silver grades. Metal sales were $79.3 million, or 15% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $102.7 million, or 21% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased 35% and 25%, respectively, due to a one-time charge associated with the operation’s power costs, lower production and planned mining equipment maintenance, partially offset by lower crushing costs. Capital expenditures increased to $17.7 million from $6.9 million due to the commissioning of the new crushing circuit, including the HPGR unit and POA 11 capital expenditures.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold production increased 34% due to higher ore feed from the high-grade Jualin deposit. The ore feed from the high-grade Jualin deposit combined with lower outside services led to a 24% decrease in costs applicable to sales per gold ounce. Metal sales were $52.6 million, or 26% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared to $29.8 million, or 20% of Coeur’s metal sales. Amortization increased to $13.6 million due to significantly higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures decreased to $4.9 million from $12.0 million due to lower underground development at Kensington and Raven, resource expansion drilling and mining equipment expenditures.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold production increased 27% due to higher ore feed from the high-grade Jualin deposit.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold production increased 33% largely driven by favorable weather conditions, higher grades and strong crusher performance. Metal sales were $36.7 million, or 18% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared to $24.0 million, or 16% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce remained comparable. Amortization increased to $3.3 million due to higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures were $0.8 million.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Gold production decreased 2% as higher grade was more than offset by the impact of inclement weather, which diluted leach pad solutions, as well as lower crusher throughput during the first half of 2019. Metal sales were $81.0 million, or 16% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared to $77.3 million, or 16% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 9% due to lower production and higher outside services and processing costs. Amortization decreased to $8.2 million due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures decreased to $1.4 million due to lower resource conversion drilling.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
In September 2018, Silvertip commenced commercial production. Metal sales were $11.3 million, or 6% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per ounce were impacted by a $14.0 million write-down of metal inventory as a result of lower than expected production levels, grades and recovery rates. Amortization was $8.3 million. Capital expenditures decreased to $6.4 million from $17.9 million due to pre-production capitalization and construction of the 220-person camp in 2018 and lower resource conversion drilling in 2019.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Metal sales were $34.2 million, or 7% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per ounce were impacted by a $41.3 million write-down of metal inventory as a result of lower than expected production levels, grades and recovery rates. Amortization was $26.6 million. Capital expenditures decreased to $15.5 million from $55.6 million due to pre-production capitalization and construction of the 220-person camp in 2018 and lower underground development and resource conversion drilling in 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments
Please see Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2018 10-K and in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in this Report for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

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 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, 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 of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 18 -- to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

48

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 2024 Senior Notes Indenture 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 of Continuing Operations less Capital expenditures from continuing operations 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 of Continuing Operations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow.

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, silver, zinc and lead, 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, silver, zinc and lead based on gold, silver, zinc and lead 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.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains numerous forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) relating to the Company’s gold, silver, zinc and lead mining business, including statements regarding operations at the Company’s mines, development efforts, estimated production, costs, capital expenditures, the impact of the new crushing circuit at Rochester, sufficiency of assets, ability to discharge liabilities, liquidity management, financing needs, environmental compliance expenditures, and risk management strategies. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates” or similar words. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include (i) the risk factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2018 10-K and the risks set forth in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, (ii) the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), (iii) changes in the market prices of gold, silver, zinc and lead and a sustained lower price environment, (iv) the uncertainties inherent in the Company’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays (including the impact of government shutdowns), ground conditions and grade variability, (v) any future labor disputes or work stoppages (involving the Company and its subsidiaries or third parties), (vi) the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold, silver, zinc and lead reserves and mineralized material, (vii) changes that could result from the Company’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, (viii)  the loss of access to any third-party smelter to whom the Company markets silver and gold, (ix) the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, (x) the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, and (xi) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. 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 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the 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, Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices
Gold, silver, zinc, and lead 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, silver, zinc, and lead.
Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Hedging
To mitigate the risks associated with gold, silver, zinc and lead price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding Asian put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar contracts on 159,000 ounces of gold at September 30, 2019 that settle monthly through August 2020. The weighted average strike prices on the put and call contracts are $1,407 and $1,801 per ounce of gold, respectively. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the price of gold at the time of the expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. At September 30, 2019, the value of the put and call zero cost collars contracts was a net asset of $1.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had not recognized any amount of gain or loss related to outstanding options in Revenue and the entire amount was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A 10% increase or decrease in the price of gold at September 30, 2019 would result in no gain and a gain of $7.5 million, respectively. The Company had outstanding Asian put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar contracts on zinc at December 31, 2018 that settled in January 2019.
Provisional Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead 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

53

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. Changes in gold, silver, zinc and lead prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $0.2 million and loss of $1.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 15,652 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,472, 0.6 million ounces of silver at an average price of $17.53, 13.5 million pounds of zinc at an average price of $1.07 and 8.2 million pounds of lead at an average price of $0.93. A 10% change in realized gold, silver, zinc and lead prices would cause revenue to vary by $5.5 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 exchange forward and/or option contracts when the Company believes such contracts would be beneficial. The Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 2019.
Interest Rates
Interest Rate Hedging
We may use financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on loans, which exposes us 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 us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe 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 outstanding interest rate swaps whereby the Company receives a variable rate in exchange for a floating rate at September 30, 2019 with a contractual term through December 31, 2019. Subsequent to the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company early-settled this interest rate swap derivative instrument to reflect the Company’s reduced interest rate risk exposure.

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)
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such officers concluded
that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
