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 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, 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 on 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.

For more details, please see Note 18 -- Debt contained in the 2018 10-K.

Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2019, the Company had $197.0 million available under its $250.0 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”). At June 30, 2019, the interest rate on the outstanding principal of the RCF was 5.9%. The Company has entered into interest rate swap derivative instruments that swap $75.0 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt (see Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments).

On April 30, 2019, the Company and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the RCF lenders, entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). Among other items, the Amendment (1) modifies the financial covenants to (A) provide greater flexibility under the consolidated net leverage ratio requirement through the September 30, 2019 test date, with the ratio returning to the original level as outlined in the RCF starting with the December 31, 2019 test date, and (B) include an additional financial covenant tied to senior secured leverage and (2) increases the interest rate on borrowings under the RCF by 0.75% during periods of elevated consolidated net leverage. On August 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other items, modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility under the consolidated interest coverage ratio requirement as of the June 30, 2019 test date, with the ratio returning to the original level as outlined in the RCF starting with the September 30, 2019 test date.

Finance Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for mining equipment at Silvertip and Wharf. 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.

NOTE 10 - INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The following table summarizes the components of Income and mining tax (expense) benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 by significant jurisdiction:

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of approximately $5.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.1%. This compares to income tax expense of $3.7 million for an effective tax rate of 55.9% during the second 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) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) foreign exchange rates; (iv) mining taxes and (v) the non-recognition of tax assets. 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 2015 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.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $2.7 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

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, 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2019:

⁽¹⁾Net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.1 million.

⁽²⁾Unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.2 million included in Other Non-Current Assets.

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

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 its 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.

During the second quarter, 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 and covers a contractual term of six months and net settles monthly.

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 six months ended June 30, 2019, 3,241,533 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,1,528,162 and 1,563,841 common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

On June 4, 2019, the Company completed a $50.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering was conducted pursuant to an Equity Distribution Agreement, entered into on May 20, 2019 between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as the sales agent. The Company sold a total of 16,630,444 shares of its common stock at an average price of $3.00 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $48.9 million. Proceeds from the Offering were used to repay the RCF.

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 June 30, 2019 the remaining unamortized balance was $12.2 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. The $25.0 million is recognized as a deferred revenue liability and is presented in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the terms of the prepayment, 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 June 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 June 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 June 30, 2019, the Company included the $24.6 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 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 are suspended. If the Buyer does not exercise the Option and pay the NSR Payment Amount to Coeur during the Option Period, or if Coeur transfers the NSR to a third party, Buyer’s obligations to pay the NSR will resume 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are classified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

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, 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.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

•

Palmarejo recovery rates increased for gold and silver, which led to an increase in production of 22% and 36%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2019. On a year over year basis, lower gold and silver grades attributable to mine sequencing contributed to lower gold and silver production and higher costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce. Production began at the La Nación deposit, located between the Independencia and Guadalupe underground mines, shortly after the end of the second quarter. Production at La Nación is anticipated to continue ramping up during the third quarter as infrastructure projects are completed, adding approximately 400 tons per day of additional mill feed. Installation of a new thickener remains on budget and on schedule with commissioning activities currently underway. The project is expected to increase metallurgical recoveries for both gold and silver by approximately 2% and has an estimated one-year payback. Full-year 2019 gold and silver production guidance for Palmarejo remains unchanged.

•

Rochester gold and silver production decreased and costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased driven by lower ore placement rates due to the commissioning of the new crusher configuration. The Company successfully commissioned the enhanced crushing circuit, including the HPGR unit, and recommenced full mining and processing activities in early August 2019. Preliminary metallurgical test work from newly crushed and placed material indicate results in-line with expectations. The new crushing circuit is expected to improve silver recoveries and lower operating costs during the remainder of the year. The Company is maintaining full-year 2019 silver and gold production guidance for Rochester.

•

Kensington gold production increased and costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased driven by additional ore feed from the high-grade Jualin deposit. Ore from Jualin accounted for approximately 17% of Kensington’s gold production during the quarter. Jualin is expected to account for approximately 20% of Kensington’s total production in 2019. Increased production from Jualin is expected to contribute to higher production levels and lower unit costs for the remainder of 2019.

•

Wharf gold production decreased largely driven by lower grades, inclement weather, which diluted leach pad solutions, as well as lower crusher throughput. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased due to lower production and higher outside services and processing costs. The Company has engaged a third-party contractor to crush an additional 300,000 tons of ore primarily during the third quarter to supplement operating activities. Production is anticipated to increase for the remainder of 2019 due to the placement of higher-grade ore late in the second quarter, which is expected to continue during the third and fourth quarters. The Company is maintaining full-year 2019 gold production guidance for Wharf. In June 2019, Coeur entered into a purchase option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Barrick for the Richmond Hill Project (the “Project”), which is located adjacent to Coeur’s Wharf mine in South Dakota. The option to acquire the Project provides a potential opportunity for Coeur to leverage existing infrastructure to further expand Wharf’s footprint and extend its mine life.

•

Production at Silvertip, which commenced commercial production in September 2018, was higher driven by higher tons milled, feed grades and recovery rates. Second quarter results at Silvertip represented the best period of operational performance since acquisition as silver, zinc and lead production increased 44%, 43% and 62%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2019 driven by significantly higher feed grades and recovery rates across all metals. The Company continues to execute key projects targeting mill availability, which are expected to drive further operational improvements throughout the remainder of the year. Recovery rates continue to trend upward, with recoveries averaging approximately 81%, 63% and 82% for silver, zinc and lead, respectively, during June. The permit amendment application to operate at a year-round mining and milling rate of 1,100 tons (1,000 metric tonnes) per day is expected to be received during the third quarter, which is later than originally expected, but does not have an impact on planned operations. The Company is maintaining full-year 2019 silver, zinc and production guidance for Silvertip.

•

On June 4, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced $50.0 million at-the-market common stock offering program, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $48.9 million. The Company also amended an existing sales arrangement with a metal sales counterparty covering a portion of its gold concentrate from the Kensington mine in consideration for a $25.0 million prepayment. Together with cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from these transactions the Company repaid a total of $82.0 million of outstanding amounts under its Revolving Credit Facility (the “RCF”) and as of June 30, 2019 had $53.0 million outstanding.

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

Revenue decreased by $7.9 million as a result of fewer gold (9%) and silver (5%) ounces sold coupled with a 10% decrease in average realized silver prices, partially offset by a 3% increase in average realized gold prices and the inclusion of sales from Silvertip, which commenced commercial production in September 2018. The Company sold 86,385 gold ounces, 3.0 million silver ounces, 5.3 million zinc pounds and 5.2 million lead pounds compared to 94,455 gold ounces and 3.2 million silver ounces in the prior year. Gold contributed 68% of sales, silver contributed 28%, zinc contributed 2% and lead contributed less than 2%, compared to 69% of sales from gold and 31% from silver.

The following table summarizes consolidated metal sales:

Metal sales	$	162,123	$	169,987	$	(7,864	)	(5	)%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased primarily due to the inclusion of sales from Silvertip, an $11.9 million write-down of inventory at Silvertip and higher unit costs at Palmarejo, Rochester and Wharf, primarily due to lower production. 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 $13.7 million, or 47%, resulting from the inclusion of Silvertip and higher sales at Kensington.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses remained comparable at $7.8 million.

Exploration expense decreased $0.7 million, or 11%, as a result of lower near-mine exploration costs at Palmarejo and Kensington, as well as lower greenfields explorations expense in the United States and Mexico, partially offset by exploration expense at the Sterling and Crown deposits located in southern Nevada. The Company completed 108,384 feet (33,035 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 42,769 feet (13,036 meters) of resource infill drilling in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 100,210 feet (30,544 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 152,078 feet (46,353 meters) of resource infill drilling in the second quarter of 2018. Exploration activities in the second quarter of 2019 focused on targets at Palmarejo, Kensington, Silvertip and the Sterling Gold Project. Drill programs at Rochester, Wharf and Silvertip are scheduled to commence in the third quarter.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased $0.7 million, or 20%, stemming from higher asset retirement obligation accretion expense at Silvertip and pre-development expenses at the Sterling deposit.

Other Income and Expenses

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a loss of $5.3 million from a loss of $2.5 million as a result of unfavorable fair value adjustments related to the Company’s equity investment in Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla”), which has an estimated fair value of $17.5 million at June 30, 2019.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.5 million) increased to $6.8 million from $6.0 million, due to higher average debt levels related to the RCF.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of approximately $5.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.1%. This compares to income tax expense of $3.7 million or an effective tax rate of 55.9% during the second quarter of 2018.

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



	Three Months Ended June 30,

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) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) foreign exchange rates; (iv) mining taxes and (v) the non-recognition of tax assets. 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 $36.8 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.02 per share. The decrease in net income from continuing operations was driven by lower sales and higher operating costs which included a write-down of $11.9 million of Silvertip metal inventory as a result of lower than expected production levels. Adjusted net loss was $23.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

Revenue decreased by $16.3 million as a result of fewer gold (5%) and silver (11%) ounces sold coupled with a 10% decrease in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, partially offset by the inclusion of sales from Silvertip, which commenced commercial production in September 2018. The Company sold 171,711 gold ounces, 5.7 million silver ounces, 10.0 million zinc pounds and 7.9 million lead pounds compared to 181,608 gold ounces and 6.4 million silver ounces in the prior year. Gold contributed 67% of sales, silver contributed 27%, zinc contributed 3% and lead contributed less than 3%, compared to 68% of sales from gold and 32% from silver.

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 $24.8 million, or 41%, resulting from the inclusion of Silvertip and higher sales at Kensington.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 5%, primarily due to higher legal fees.

Exploration expense decreased $3.7 million, or 28%, as a result of lower near-mine exploration costs at Palmarejo and Kensington, as well as lower greenfields explorations expense in the United States and Mexico, partially offset by exploration expense at the Sterling and Crown deposits located in southern Nevada. The Company completed 153,248 feet (46,710 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 105,171 feet (32,056 meters) of resource infill drilling in the first half of 2019 compared to 210,193 feet (64,067 meters) of resource expansion drilling and 237,136 feet (72,279 meters) of resource infill drilling in the first half of 2018. Exploration activities in the first half of 2019 focused on targets at Palmarejo, Kensington, Silvertip and the Sterling Gold Project. Drill programs at Rochester, Wharf and Silvertip are scheduled to commence in the third quarter.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased $0.9 million, or 12%, stemming from higher asset retirement obligation accretion expense at Silvertip pre-development expenses at the Sterling deposit.

Other Income and Expenses

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $3.8 million from a gain of $2.2 million as a result of favorable fair value adjustments related to the Company’s equity investment in Metalla, which has an estimated fair value of $17.5 million at June 30, 2019.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $1.2 million) increased to $13.3 million from $12.0 million, due to higher average debt levels related to the RCF.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the first half of 2019, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of approximately $14.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.7%. This compares to income tax expense of $15.7 million or an effective tax rate of 81.2% during the first half of 2018.

Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations was $61.7 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.02 per share. The decrease in net income from continuing operations was driven by lower sales and higher operating costs which included a write-down of $27.3 million at Silvertip of metal inventory as a result of lower than expected production levels. Adjusted net loss was $45.9 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 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.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $77.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold, higher Silvertip operating costs and mining tax payments at Palmarejo, partially offset by lower capital expenditures at Silvertip.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $26.4 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $1.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $10.6 million, compared to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $30.6 million, compared to $48.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $51.2 million, compared to $97.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (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:

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.

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:

(1) For the six months ended June 30, 2019, tax effect of adjustments of $4.3 million (-25%) is primarily related to the write-down of Silvertip start-up costs.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 2019, tax effect of adjustments of $9.7 million (-42%) is primarily related to the write-down of Silvertip start-up costs.

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:

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.

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 zinc at December 31, 2018 that settled in January 2019. The Company had no outstanding gold, silver, zinc or lead hedges at June 30, 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 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 losses of $1.9 million and $1.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 7,424 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,302, 0.7 million ounces of silver at an average price of $15.22, 14.4 million pounds of zinc at an average price of $1.14 and 9.0 million pounds of lead at an average price of $0.89. A 10% change in realized gold, silver, zinc and lead prices would cause revenue to vary by $4.6 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 June 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 June 30, 2019 with a contractual term through December 31, 2019. A 10% change in the 1-month LIBOR would cause Fair value adjustments, net to vary by $0.1 million.


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 June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy, Casey M. Nault, the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, entered into a selling plan effective May 22, 2019.
