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, 2020. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2019 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, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        Significant Accounting Policies
        Please see Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2019 10-K.
        Use of Estimates
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results will differ from the amounts estimated in these financial statements. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. Therefore, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and may change materially in future periods.
Revenue Recognition
        The Company’s gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) provided for a $20.0 million, net, deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation, commencing in 2016, to purchase 50% of a portion of Palmarejo gold production at the lesser of $800 or market price per ounce. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The streaming agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.
        The following table presents a rollforward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

Closing Balance$10,389  $12,160  $10,389  $12,160  
        In June 2020, the Company received a $15.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine pursuant to the Amended Sales Contract (as defined below). The Amended Sales Contract represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to the customer. See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

        Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company adopted the new credit loss standard effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.
        Recently Issued Accounting Standards
        In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 (January 1, 2021 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
        The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. The Silvertip mine, which temporarily suspended mining and processing activities in February 2020, is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of silver, zinc and lead. Other includes the Sterling/Crown and La Preciosa projects, other mineral interests, strategic equity investments, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.
The 2019 novel strain of coronavirus causing a contagious respiratory disease known as COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, poses a material risk to our business and operations. Early in the second quarter of 2020, we temporarily suspended active mining and processing activities at the Palmarejo complex in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, in accordance with a government-mandated decree in response to COVID-19, and we began taking steps to restart active mining, processing and exploration activities at Palmarejo in accordance with updated guidance from the government approximately 45 days later. In addition, we are requiring all employees who travel to the Kensington mine to submit to a 7-day quarantine and testing protocol in Juneau, Alaska before traveling to the mine. We believe this is an important step to protect the health and safety of all workers who stay at the Kensington camp, although it has required changes to worker scheduling and is expected to result in higher labor costs due to additional overtime pay and pay during the quarantine period. Incremental costs associated with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols are recorded in Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are included in Other operating expenses in the table below. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A.

        During the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $2.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 173.9%. This compares to income tax benefit of $5.5 million for an effective tax rate of 13.1% during the second quarter of 2019. 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) foreign exchange rates; (iii) the impact of uncertain tax positions; (iv) variations in our income before income taxes; (v) geographic distribution of that income and (vi) 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 2019 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 $0.5 million and $1.5 million in the next twelve months.
        At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.6 million and $2.7 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $1.0 million and $2.3 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 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was $12.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.8 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 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.
        The Company’s other derivative instruments, net, include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts, gold and foreign exchange 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 October 2017, the Company acquired the Silvertip mine from shareholders of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd (the “Silvertip Acquisition”). The consideration for the Silvertip Acquisition included two $25.0 million contingent payments, which were 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 was 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 was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During 2019, the Company paid the $25.0 million due for the permitting milestone in the form of cash and common stock, and in the first quarter of 2020, the Company paid the remaining $25.0 million due for the resource declaration milestone in the form of cash and common stock.
 No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
        The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and liabilities in the six months ended June 30, 2020:

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES

        The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. 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.
        At June 30, 2020, 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 the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements. 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. If the price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.
        To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S dollar and are exposed to forecasted transaction denominated in the Mexican Peso and the Canadian Dollar, in March 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions.
        At June 30, 2020, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:
In thousands except average prices and notional ounces20202021 and Thereafter

Notional US dollar$30,000  $60,000  
Foreign exchange forward exchange contracts - Canadian Dollar
Average Canadian Dollar exchange rate1.44  —  
Notional US dollar$15,000  $—  
        The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue are recognized as a component of net sales in the same period as the related revenue is recognized. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency transactions are recognized as a component of costs applicable to sales in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

        As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $7.7 million of net after-tax loss in AOCI related to losses from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $4.1 million of net after-tax losses is expected to be recognized in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the price of gold for metal contracts and the Canadian and Mexican exchange rates for foreign currency contracts.

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 the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 1,816,332 and 3,205,676 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, 3,241,533 common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

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, 2020 the remaining unamortized balance was $10.4 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the 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, for which deliveries were made to the counterparty in 2019. The Amended Sales Contract also includes an option for an additional $15.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold concentrate, which Coeur exercised in December 2019. In the first half of 2020, the Kensington mine delivered $15.0 million of gold concentrate to the counterparty in satisfaction of this prepayment obligation. The Amended Sales Contract was further amended in June 2020 to include options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $15.0 million each for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine, and Coeur exercised the option to receive the first $15.0 million prepayment in June 2020 (the “June 2020 Prepayment”). The remaining deliveries of $15.0 million under the June 2020 Prepayment are recognized as a deferred revenue liability and are presented in Accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the relevant terms of the Amended Sales Contract, Coeur maintains its exposure to the price of gold and expects to recognize the remaining value of the accrued liability by December 31, 2020.
Silvertip Contingent Consideration
        A total of up to $50.0 million of contingent consideration, payable in cash and common stock, was payable in conjunction with the Silvertip Acquisition based upon the achievement of two milestones, one of which was achieved and paid during 2019 and the other of which was achieved and paid during the first quarter of 2020. The first milestone payment of $25.0 million was 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 submitted to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mining on April 30, 2018 and following its approval in November 2019, the Company made a payment of $25.0 million in the form of $18.7 million in cash and 1.0 million shares of common stock to satisfy the Permit contingent consideration obligation. At December 31, 2019, based on the Silvertip mine’s total mineralized material (including reserves) (the “Resource contingent consideration”), the former JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. shareholders were entitled to the full second contingent payment of $25.0 million. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company made a payment of $25.0 million in the form of $18.8 million in cash and 0.9 million shares of common stock to satisfy the Resource contingent consideration obligation.
Mexico VAT Litigation
        Included in non-current receivables as of June 30, 2020 are $23.0 million due from the Mexican government associated with VAT that was paid under Coeur Mexicana’s prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Under the royalty agreement, Coeur applied for and initially received VAT refunds associated with the royalty payments in the normal course; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying the Company’s VAT refunds based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur began to request refunds of the VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover the VAT from the Mexican government (including through litigation). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation continues, some of which was determined unfavorably to the Company in 2019 and 2020 based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are erroneous and which are now under appeal. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the VAT receivable, the Company may continue to experience delays or obstacles in the recovery of VAT and it is possible that some or all of the VAT receivable may not ultimately be recovered as outcomes in Mexican tax courts and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in litigation can be unpredictable.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
        As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had surety bonds totaling $212.1 million and $215.6 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

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 the Letter Agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the total aggregate principal amount of the Manquiri Notes Receivable 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 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, which was 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 January 2020, the Buyer purchased the NSR from Coeur by making a payment to Coeur of $4.5 million. Coeur recorded a gain of $0.4 million following the payment.

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 mines located in the United States, Mexico and Canada and several exploration projects in North America.  
Second Quarter Highlights
        For the quarter, Coeur reported revenue of $154.2 million and cash flow from operating activities of $9.9 million. The Company reported GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $42.2 million and net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.01 per share. For six months ended June 30, 2020, Coeur reported revenue of $327.4 million and cash flow from operating activities of $2.0 million. The Company reported GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $13.1 million, or $0.05 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $88.6 million and net income from continuing operations of $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share.
Successful restart of Palmarejo post-suspension - Coeur safely restarted its Palmarejo mine, following receipt of updated guidance from the Mexican government that precious metals mining is now considered an essential business activity. After being temporarily suspended for approximately 45 days, production began ramping up in June and is expected to continue increasing during the second half of the year
Prepared to begin construction on upcoming expansion at Rochester - The Company received authorizations necessary to advance the expansion under Plan of Operations Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) at Rochester. Coeur expects to commence construction on the project in early August 2020
Strong operating and financial results at Kensington and Wharf - Kensington’s gold production remained strong during the second quarter, helping to generate $27.8 million in operating cash flow and $23.9 million of free cash flow1, compared to $11.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, in the prior period. Gold production at Wharf increased 60% quarter-over-quarter, leading to $19.1 million and $18.8 million in operating and free cash flow1, respectively, compared to $2.6 million and $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2020
Aggressive investment in exploration - Coeur continued to execute its largest exploration program in Company history, investing $13.0 million, a 60% increase over the prior period and approximately 90% higher than the second quarter of 2019. The Company plans to publish an exploration update in August 2020, outlining program highlights through the first half of the year
Continued execution of hedging program to underpin expected cash flow - The Company took advantage of stronger gold prices to implement additional zero-cost collar (“ZCC”) hedges to support the expected funding requirement for the POA 11 expansion at Rochester, targeting up to 50% of the Company’s expected gold production in 2021 and 2022
Higher cash position and successful debt reduction initiatives - Cash and cash equivalents totaled $70.9 million at June 30, 2020, 34% higher than at the end of the first quarter of 2020. The Company also repaid $90.0 million of its senior secured revolving credit facility (“RCF”) using cash on hand, leaving a $60.0 million balance at the end of the second quarter. Coeur intends to repay the remaining RCF balance by year-end from internally generated cash flow and expects cash to build over the coming quarters in preparation for the expansion at Rochester

Consolidated Financial Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenue
        Revenue decreased by $7.9 million as a result of lower gold and silver ounces sold (10% and 47%, respectively) due to the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo due to a government decree in response to COVID-19, the temporary suspension of operations at Silvertip in February, and recovery delays at Rochester, partially offset by a 29% and 10% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, combined with a 53% increase in gold ounces sold at Wharf. The Company sold 77,933 gold ounces and 1.6 million silver ounces compared to 86,385 gold ounces, 3.0 million silver ounces, 5.3 million zinc pounds and 5.2 million lead pounds in the prior year. Gold contributed to 83% of sales, silver contributed 17%, compared to 68% of sales from gold, 28% from silver, 2% from zinc and less than 2% from lead.

Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales decreased primarily due to the temporary suspensions at Palmarejo and Silvertip and lower costs at Rochester. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.
Amortization
Amortization decreased $15.3 million, or 35%, resulting from lower sales volumes primarily due to the temporary suspension at Palmarejo and Silvertip.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 11%, primarily due to higher compensation costs, partially offset by lower travel costs.
Exploration expense increased $6.1 million, or 107%, as a result of exploration expense at the Sterling/Crown project located in southern Nevada and higher exploration expense at Palmarejo, Silvertip and Kensington. The Company completed 160,680 feet (48,976 meters) of expansion drilling and 33,363 feet (10,169 meters) of infill drilling in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 108,384 feet (33,035 meters) of expansion drilling and 42,769 feet (13,036 meters) of infill drilling in the second quarter of 2019.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased $14.3 million, or 331%, stemming from ongoing carrying and one-time costs at Silvertip including a $2.1 million write down of obsolete supply inventory, and incremental costs incurred to comply with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Other Income and Expenses
        Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $10.1 million compared to a loss of $5.3 million as a result of favorable fair value adjustments and realized gains primarily related to the Company’s equity investments in Integra and Metalla, which had estimated fair values of $8.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2020.
        Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.3 million) decreased to $5.8 million from $6.8 million due to lower average debt levels related to the RCF and 2024 Senior Notes.
Income and Mining Taxes
        During the second quarter of 2020, income and mining tax expense of approximately $2.8 million results in an effective tax rate of 173.9% for 2020. This compares to income tax benefit of $5.5 million or effective tax rate of 13.1% for 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by multiple factors as illustrated above. 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) foreign exchange rates; (iii) the impact of uncertain tax positions; (iv) variations in our income before income taxes; (v) geographic distribution of that income and (vi) 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 “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the 2019 10-K.
Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
        Net loss from continuing operations was $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $36.8 million, or $0.18 per share. The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was driven higher by strong operating results at Wharf, a 29% and 10% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, favorable fair value adjustments and realized gains primarily related to the Company’s equity investments in Integra and Metalla and lower operating costs at Palmarejo and Silvertip. This was partially offset by lower sales of gold and silver (10% and 47%, respectively), higher exploration expense, ongoing carrying and one-time severance costs at Silvertip and incremental costs associated with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Adjusted net income was $2.6 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $23.0 million, or $0.11 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenue
        Revenue increased by $10.4 million as a result of a 24% and 10% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, and 18% stronger operating results at Wharf, partially offset by the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo during a portion of the second quarter, the temporary suspension of operations at Silvertip in February and lower sales of gold and silver (5% and 24%, respectively). The Company sold 163,568 gold ounces, 4.3 million silver ounces, 3.2 million zinc pounds and 2.5 million lead pounds compared to 171,711 gold ounces, 5.7 million silver ounces, 10.0 million zinc pounds and 7.9 million lead pounds in the prior year. Gold contributed to 78% of sales, silver contributed 22%, compared to 67% of sales from gold, 27% from silver, 3% from zinc and less than 3% from lead.

Income and Mining Taxes
        During the first half of 2020, income and mining tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million results in an effective tax rate of 7.7% for 2020. This compares to income tax benefit of $14.2 million or effective tax rate of 18.7% for 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by multiple factors as illustrated above. 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) foreign exchange rates; (iii) the impact of uncertain tax positions; (iv) variations in our income before income taxes; (v) geographic distribution of that income and (vi) mining taxes.

Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
        Net loss from continuing operations was $13.1 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net loss of $61.7 million, or $0.30 per share. The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was driven by strong operating results at Wharf, a 24% and 10% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, and lower operating costs at Palmarejo and Silvertip. This was partially offset by lower sales from Palmarejo and Rochester, higher explorations costs, ongoing carrying and one-time severance costs at Silvertip and incremental costs associated with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Adjusted net income was $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $45.9 million, or $0.22 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).
Net Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
        In respect of the San Bartolomé mine and processing facility’s operating results, income decreased $5.7 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 at that time.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
        Gold and silver production decreased 46% and 50%, respectively, due to the temporary suspension of active mining and processing activities in accordance with a government decree. After receiving guidance from the Mexican government in May that the suspension decree did not apply to precious metals mining, production began ramping back up in June, increasing steadily during the month. Workforce staffing levels are currently limited to approximately 85% due to compliance with restrictions related to COVID-19. Coeur expects workforce staffing to stay at similar levels for the remainder of 2020.
Metal sales were $38.0 million, or 25% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $59.3 million, or 37% of Coeur’s metal sales. Favorable foreign exchange rates and lower consumable costs led to a 7% and 11% decrease in costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce, respectively. Amortization decreased to $7.3 million due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures decreased to $4.5 million from $7.6 million due to the impact of the temporary suspension on underground development and infill drilling activities.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
        Gold and silver production decreased 9% and 10%, respectively, due to the temporary suspension of active mining and processing activities in accordance with a government decree issued in the second quarter. After receiving guidance from the Mexican government in May that the suspension decree did not apply to precious metals mining, production began ramping back up in June, increasing steadily during the month. Workforce staffing levels are currently limited to approximately 85% due to compliance with restrictions related to COVID-19. Coeur expects workforce staffing to stay at similar levels for the remainder of 2020.
Metal sales were $112.3 million, or 34% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $112.5 million, or 36% of Coeur’s metal sales. Favorable foreign exchange rates and lower consumable costs led to a 10% and 12% decrease in costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce, respectively. Amortization decreased to $20.4 million due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures decreased to $11.6 million from $16.2 million due to the impact of the temporary suspension on underground development and infill drilling activities and lower mining equipment purchases.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
        Gold and silver production decreased 40% and 25%, respectively, due to the impact of dilution from stacking high-pressure grinding roll (“HPGR”) crushed material on top of historic ore on the Stage IV leach pad. Metal sales were $20.6 million, or 13% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $25.5 million, or 16% of Coeur’s metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 22% and per silver ounce decreased 1%, driven by higher repair and outside service costs, partially offset by higher silver grades and lower diesel costs. Amortization decreased to $3.0 million due to lower ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $5.8 million from $2.8 million due to higher POA 11 capital expenditures.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Liquidity and Capital Resources
        At June 30, 2020, the Company had $72.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $169.5 million available under its RCF. Cash and cash equivalents increased $15.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to a 24% and 10% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, strong operational results from Kensington and Wharf, lower capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of Metalla Common Shares and a $10.0 million increase in the amount outstanding under the RCF, partially offset by lower production at Rochester, ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip and the payment of the cash portion of the contingent consideration of $18.8 million associated with the Silvertip acquisition. The Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating activities (voluntary or involuntary). To provide additional flexibility to respond to potential downside scenarios, the Company drew down $100.0 million under its RCF in April 2020. As the second quarter progressed, however, and the risk of significant disruption to operations due to COVID-19 subsided, the Company repaid $90.0 million under the RCF. Additionally, Coeur established the $100.0 million ATM Program during the second quarter as a means to proactively increase its financial flexibility during the current period of volatility and uncertainty. At the date of this filing, the Company has yet to issue shares of its common stock under the ATM Program. Since quarter-end the Company has posted cash collateral relating to a small portion of outstanding gold hedges, which the Company expects to restructure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments
Please see Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2019 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 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:

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 indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes and the RCF to determine our ability to make certain payments and incur additional indebtedness. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Net income (Loss) or Cash Flow from Operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and those calculations may not be comparable to our presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:

Free Cash Flow
        Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities of Continuing Operations less Capital expenditures from continuing operations as presented on the 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.

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 307,800 ounces of gold at June 30, 2020 that settle monthly through December 2022. The Company is targeting to hedge approximately 50% of expected gold production through 2021 and 2022. The weighted average strike prices on the put and call contracts are $1,551 and $1,869 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. These Asian put and call option contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price exceeds the spot price of a commodity, (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions; and (iii) liquidity risk to the extent counterparties exercise rights to cash collateral for out-of-money hedges under applicable instruments. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit
54


exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2019 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this report.
At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the put and call zero cost collars contracts was a liability of $14.5 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 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 in the price of gold at June 30, 2020 would result in a loss of $26.3 million and 10% decrease would result in a gain of $1.8M. As of June 30, 2020, the closing price of gold was $1,768 per ounce. On July 29, 2020, the closing price of gold increased further to $1,951 per ounce.
        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, silver, zinc and lead price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 15,147 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,728. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.6 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 currency forward exchange contracts. At June 30, 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to receive $2.2 billion Mexican Pesos at June 30, 2020 with an average exchange rate of 24.74 that settle monthly through December 2021. The Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to receive $21.6 million Canadian Dollars at June 30, 2020 with an average exchange rate of 1.44 that settle monthly through December 2020. At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts was a net asset of $6.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company has recognized a gain of $0.7 million related to expired options in Cost Applicable to Sales and a gain of $6.8 million related to outstanding options in AOCI. A 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rates at June 30, 2020 would result in a loss of $2.8 million or a gain of $16.8 million, respectively.
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 no outstanding interest rate swaps at June 30, 2020.

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, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

        Item 1A -- Risk Factors of the 2019 10-K sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. Those risk factors have been supplemented and updated in the Form 10-Q filed for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”) and in this Form 10-Q. Except as supplemented and updated below and in the First Quarter 10-Q, the risk factors set forth in the 2019 10-K remain current. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not presently know or that it currently deems immaterial also may impair our business operations.

Our operations may be further disrupted, and our financial results may be adversely affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The 2019 novel strain of coronavirus causing a contagious respiratory disease known as COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, poses a material risk to our business and operations. If a significant portion of our workforce becomes unable to work or travel to our operations due to illness or state or federal government restrictions (including travel restrictions and “shelter-in-place” and similar orders restricting certain activities that may be issued or extended by authorities), we may be forced to reduce or suspend operations at one or more of our mines, which could reduce production and limit exploration activities and development projects and impact liquidity and financial results. In addition, we have implemented several initiatives to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities during this pandemic, including COVID-19 testing, contact tracing technology and procuring additional personal protective equipment for our employees, among others, some of which may result in additional costs to the Company. Illnesses or government restrictions, including the closure of national borders, related to COVID-19 also may disrupt the supply of raw goods, equipment, supplies and services upon which our operations rely. We also continue to monitor legislative initiatives in the U.S., Mexico and Canada to provide relief to businesses impacted by COVID-19 to determine their potential impacts or benefits (if any) to our business.
Early in the second quarter of 2020, we temporarily suspended active mining and processing activities at the Palmarejo complex in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, in accordance with a government-mandated decree in response to COVID-19, and we began taking steps to restart active mining, processing and exploration activities at Palmarejo in accordance with updated guidance from the government approximately 45 days later. In addition, we are requiring all employees who travel to the Kensington mine to submit to a 7-day quarantine and testing protocol in Juneau, Alaska before traveling to the mine. We believe this is an important step to protect the health and safety of all workers who stay at the Kensington camp, although it has required changes to worker scheduling and is expected to result in higher labor costs due to additional overtime pay and pay during the quarantine period.
The refiners and smelters upon which the Company relies to refine and process and, in some cases, purchase the gold and silver doré and gold, silver, zinc and lead concentrate produced by the Company’s mines, are also subject to these risks and may be required to reduce or suspend operations, which could impact the Company’s ability to sell its products to buyers and generate revenues. For example, on March 23, 2020, Argor-Heraeus, a Swiss refiner which provides refining services to several of our mines, announced that it was temporarily suspending operations in response to a government order. Following the temporary suspension, Argor-Heraeus recommenced operations.
We may be subject to litigation if one or more employees contract COVID-19 at work or litigation initiated by stockholders who view decisions by the Board of Directors or management as inconsistent with duties to the Company under Delaware law or who may assert claims under federal securities laws. We understand that, as indicated by sharp increases in average premiums for director and officer insurance policies in recent months, insurers expect increased litigation relating to COVID-19.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section and those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, such as those relating to our operation and indebtedness and financing. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate the impact of the pandemic on our business. However, these effects could have a material impact on our operations, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
57


The Company is dependent upon information technology systems, which are subject to cybersecurity incidents, disruption, damage, failure and risks associated with implementation and integration.
The Company’s information technology systems used in its operations are subject to disruption, damage or failure from a variety of sources, including, without limitation, computer viruses, security breaches, cyberattacks, natural disasters and defects in design. Cybersecurity incidents, in particular, are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or machines and equipment, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information, the corruption of data or the disabling, misuse or malfunction of machines and equipment. Various measures have been implemented to manage the Company’s risks related to information technology systems and network disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of information or operational technology disruptions, the Company could potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, operating accidents, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks or financial losses from remedial actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company faces increased cybersecurity risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, a portion of the Company’s workforce is working remotely to facilitate social distancing, and these employees may transmit data using unsecured internet connections despite training advising of those risks. In addition, our employees have faced increases in phishing and malware attacks and socially engineered cyberattacks which, in some cases, attempt to use the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic to gain unauthorized access to the Company’s information technology systems.
The Company could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into operations. Various measures have been implemented to manage the risks related to the system implementation and modification, but system modification failures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.
There are significant hazards associated with mining activities, some of which may not be fully covered by insurance.
The mining business is subject to risks and hazards, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, the encountering of unusual or unexpected geological formations, cave-ins, flooding, earthquakes and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions or machine failure, such as the failure of the secondary crusher in Rochester’s new crushing circuit in 2019, which impacted crushing rates. These occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, reduced production and delays in mining, asset write-downs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
We maintain insurance policies that protect against property loss and business interruption in amounts that we believe are reasonable taking into account the nature of, and risks related to, our business and operations as well as the cost of policy premiums. Such insurance is, however, subject to certain exclusions, and there is no guarantee that the Company will receive insurance proceeds with respect to a particular event or loss. Insurance fully covering many environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production, is not generally available. Any liabilities that the Company incurs for these risks and hazards could be significant and could adversely affect results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The Company’s use of derivative contracts to protect against market price volatility exposes it to risk of opportunity loss, mark- to-market fair value adjustments, potential cash collateral calls and exposure to counterparty credit risk.
From time-to-time, the Company has in the past and in the future may enter into price risk management contracts to protect against fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, zinc and lead, foreign currency rates and changes in the prices of fuel and other input costs. These contracts could include forward sales or purchase contracts, futures contracts, purchased or sold put and call options and other derivative instruments. In 2019 and through July 24, 2020, the Company entered into price risk management contracts on a total of 477,700 ounces of its expected gold production for 2020, 2021 and 2022 after a significant increase in gold prices during 2019 and into the first half of 2020. The Company determined to implement these contracts to provide for a minimum level of revenue from the sales of the covered gold ounces in order to mitigate the risk of not being able to fund all or a portion of the costs of several projects at existing operations. As of June 30, 2020, contracts with respect to 307,800 ounces of gold were outstanding. See Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The use of derivative instruments can expose the Company to risk of an opportunity loss and may also result in significant mark-to-market fair value adjustments, which may require the Company to post cash or other collateral or have a material adverse impact on reported financial results. The Company’s exposure may be particularly acute for its derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, because those contracts are cash net settled on a monthly basis. The ceiling on

the gold ounces covered by the price risk management contracts described above, representing the highest price the Company could realize for those ounces under outstanding contracts, averages $1,825 per ounce for 2020 production, $1,875 per ounce for 2021 production and $2,030 per ounce for 2022 production. The price ceiling may be lower than actual spot gold prices at the time of sale under those contracts. As of June 30, 2020, the closing price of gold was $1,768 per ounce. On July 29, 2020, the closing price of gold increased further to $1,951 per ounce. The Company is exposed to credit risk with contract counterparties, including, but not limited to, sales contracts and derivative contracts. In the event of nonperformance in connection with a contract, the Company could be exposed to a loss of value for that contract.
