Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2021 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, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2021 10-K.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) provided for a $22.0 million 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 ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. The remaining unamortized balance is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
In thousands	2022		2021
Opening Balance	$	8,150	$	9,376
Revenue Recognized	(315)		(346)
Closing Balance	$	7,835	$	9,030

In December 2021, the Company received a $15.0 million prepayment (the “December 2021 Prepayment”) for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine pursuant to the Amended Sales Contract (as defined in Note 17). In March 2022, the Company exercised an option to receive a $10.0 million prepayment (the “March 2022 Prepayment). 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. The remaining contract liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method” which is intended to make amendments to the fair value hedge accounting previously issued in ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The standard introduced the portfolio layer method allowing multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio when applying fair value hedge accounting. The Company plans to adopt the new derivatives and hedging standards effective January 1, 2023 and does not expect the new derivatives and hedging standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Coeur reports the carrying value of metal and leach pad inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. At the end of the first quarter of 2022, the cost of metal and leach pad inventory at Rochester exceeded its net realizable value which resulted in a non-cash write down of $8.6 million ($7.6 million was recognized in Costs Applicable to Sales and $1.0 million in Amortization).

2029 Senior Notes

In March 2021, the Company completed an offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for net proceeds of approximately $367.5 million (the “2029 Senior Notes”). For more details, please see Note 8 -- Debt contained in the 2021 10-K.

Revolving Credit Facility

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $215.0 million available under its $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) provided pursuant to the credit agreement entered into in September 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, the Bank of Nova Scotia and ING Capital LLC (the “RCF Lenders”). At March 31, 2022, the Company had $55.0 million drawn at an interest rate of 2.7% and $30.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the RCF.

On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the RCF, by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and the Agent. The Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum principal amount of the RCF by $90.0 million in incremental loans and commitments to an aggregate of $390.0 million.

Finance Lease Obligations

From time-to-time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington. Coeur secured a finance lease package for nearly $60 million in 2021, a portion of which has been funded as of March 31, 2022. The package is earmarked for planned equipment purchases for POA 11 in 2022, and has an interest rate of 5.22%. All finance lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments.

The following table summarizes the components of Income and mining tax (expense) benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 by significant jurisdiction:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2022			2021

			$	9,376	$	(1,694)	$	14,846	$	(12,786)

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $1.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.1%. This compares to income tax expense of $12.8 million for an effective tax rate of 86.1% during the first quarter of 2021. 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 sale of non-core assets; (ii) the non-recognition of tax assets; (iii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iv) geographic distribution of that income; (v) mining taxes; (vi) foreign exchange rates; (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions; and (viii) percentage depletion. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

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

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 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 2018 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2016 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 by less than $0.1 million in the next twelve months.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $0.0 million and $0.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $0.0 million and $0.4 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was $13.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.9 years.

The following table summarizes the grants awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2022:


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

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), secondary priority to quoted prices in inactive markets or observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The 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 common share purchase warrants received as consideration in the La Preciosa project sale are valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including quoted market prices and quoted interest curve rates. 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.

The Company’s gold forward contracts valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads. The Company’s provisional metal sales contracts include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts that are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices.

As further discussed in Note 19 — Dispositions, the consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project included two royalties, a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and a 2.00% gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, and contingent consideration of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (adjusted for inflation) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resources area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $50.0 million. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration assets were $11.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, valued as of the date of closing of the transaction and are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration were valued using Monte Carlo simulation models. The model inputs include significant unobservable inputs and involve significant management judgment. The significant unobservable inputs included assumptions related to metal prices which assumed silver prices ranging from $22 to $25 per ounce and gold prices ranging from $1,930 to $1,700 per ounce as well as volatility assumptions for silver and gold prices (33.5% and 19.0%, respectively), and an assumed weighted average cost of capital of 15.5%. Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

Also included in the consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project was a promissory note payable to the Company that matures in March 2023 and deferred cash consideration payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project. These assets were valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. 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.

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.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Zero Cost Collars

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 were 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 was lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company voluntarily de-designated hedge accounting for the zero cost collars and subsequently terminated the arrangements. The cost to terminate the zero cost collars was $7.7 million, of which $3.1 million was recognized in earnings and the remaining $4.6 million, which represents the fair value of the zero cost collars on the date of de-designation, was retained in AOCI and will be recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur.

At March 31, 2022, 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 forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly and if the actual price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

At March 31, 2022, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:


In thousands except average prices and notional ounces	2022		2023 and Thereafter
Gold forwards
Average gold fixed price per ounce	$	1,955	$	1,956
Notional ounces	157,000		75,000

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

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

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.8 million of net after-tax loss in AOCI related to losses from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $1.8 million of net after-tax losses is expected to be recognized in its 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.

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 1,151,073 and 112,610 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mexico Litigation Matters

As of March 31, 2022, $26.0 million is due from the Mexican government associated with VAT that was paid under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received VAT refunds associated with the royalty payments in the normal course; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying Coeur Mexicana’s VAT refunds based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana 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 and potential arbitration as well as refiling VAT refund requests). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation has continued at the administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels, most of which has been determined unfavorably to Coeur based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are contrary to legal precedent, conflicting and erroneous. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the VAT receivable and intends to rigorously continue its VAT recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the VAT receivable and recent unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the VAT receivable at September 30, 2021. In March 2022, Coeur Mexicana filed an updated notice of intent to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, in connection with this dispute and may elect to formally proceed with arbitration under NAFTA. Outcomes in NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable.

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

Palmarejo Gold Stream

Coeur Mexicana sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from certain properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. In 2016, Coeur Mexicana received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although Coeur Mexicana has satisfied its contractual obligation to repay the deposit to Franco-Nevada, the deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized as revenue on a units-of-production basis as ounces are sold to Franco-Nevada. At March 31, 2022 the remaining unamortized balance was $7.8 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 amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments, including in June 2021, to provide options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $15.0 million each. In June 2021 and December 2021, the Company exercised these options and received the $15.0 million June 2021 Prepayment and the $15.0 million December 2021 Prepayment. The June 2021 Prepayment was paid back in full before the December 2021 Prepayment was received. In March 2022, the Amended Sales Contract was further amended to allow for an additional $10.0 million prepayment. The additional $10.0 million prepayment was made in March 2022 (the “March 2022 Prepayment”). The remaining deliveries of $15.0 million and $10.0 million under the December 2021 Prepayment and March 2022 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

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Amended Sales Contract, Coeur maintains its exposure to the price of gold and expects to recognize the remaining value of the accrued liability by March 2023.

POA 11 Expansion Project

As of March 31, 2022, Coeur incurred approximately $283 million toward the expansion. With the formalization of the recently-awarded structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation (“SMPEI”) and final major high-voltage electrical contracts, the Company has committed approximately $477 million of capital since the inception of the project, representing 80% of the re-baselined cost estimate of $597 million. Coeur estimates capital expenditures related to POA 11 in 2022 to be approximately $217 - $257 million and $131 - $171 million in 2023.

The expansion consists of three major components: (i) a new 300 million ton leach pad, for which civil work is essentially complete and piping work is near completion; (ii) a Merrill-Crowe process plant with construction completion scheduled for the first half of 2023; and (iii) a new three-stage crushing circuit with construction completion scheduled for mid-2023.

Progress on the Merrill-Crowe process plant included completion of concrete work, the start of equipment setting, and steel and process pipe rack erection. Work on the crusher corridor included substantial completion of excavation in the primary crusher area, completion of concrete work and the start of steel construction in the secondary crusher areas, and continued advancement of concrete work in the secondary stock pile reclaim and tertiary crusher areas. Coeur also began pre-assembly of conveyor components, and deliveries of equipment and materials for the project continue.

The Company is also advancing detailed engineering, and equipment procurement is underway for the implementation of pre-screens into the expansion flowsheet. Coeur intends to align construction of the pre-screens with the completion of the new crusher corridor.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had surety bonds totaling $315.5 million and $315.1 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash or letters of credit which reduce availability under its revolving credit facility, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated 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 19 – DISPOSITIONS

On October 27, 2021 the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell its La Preciosa projected located in the State of Durango, Mexico to Avino (the “La Preciosa Sale”). On March 21, 2022, the La Preciosa Sale was completed.

Coeur and its subsidiaries received the following consideration at closing:

•$15.3 million cash,

•$5.0 million promissory note that matures prior to the first anniversary of the transaction closing, valued at $4.7 million,

•Equity consideration of 14.0 million units, consisting of one share of Avino common stock and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Avino common stock, valued at $13.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Common share purchase warrants are exercisable at $1.09 per share and expire September 2023.

•In addition, under the Agreement, Coeur is entitled to the following additional consideration:

◦$8.8 million deferred cash consideration to be paid no later than the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project, valued at $7.4 million,

◦Contingent payments of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (subject to an inflationary adjustment) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resource area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $50.0 million, valued at $1.2 million, and

◦Two royalties, valued at $11.2 million, covering the La Preciosa land package, including (i) a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and (ii) a 2.00% gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, offset by the amount of any new mineral reserve contingent payments made to Coeur.

The La Preciosa sale resulted in a gain on the sale of $1.6 million, which was recognized in Other, Net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

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

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

First Quarter Highlights

For the quarter, Coeur reported revenue of $188.4 million and cash flow from operating activities of $(6.4) million. We reported GAAP net income of $7.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $41.5 million and net loss of $13.8 million or $0.05 per diluted share.

•First quarter production on plan and in-line with 2022 guidance – Solid performances at Palmarejo and Wharf more than offset COVID-19 impacts at Kensington and lower production levels at Rochester, leading to total production of 75,409 ounces of gold and 2.5 million ounces of silver

•Enhanced liquidity and balance sheet strength – Coeur recently announced multiple initiatives to bolster its liquidity and balance sheet flexibility, including increased additional downside protection from gold hedging in 2022 and 2023, expansion of its revolving credit facility (“RCF”) by $90 million and the completion of its $100 million at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering

•Rochester expansion project advancing – The Rochester expansion project continued to advance with construction completion targeted for mid-2023. Coeur has now committed approximately 80% of the $597 million capital estimate and has incurred approximately $283 million of the estimated total as of the end of the first quarter

•New discovery at Silvertip highlights recent exploration success – Camp Creek West discovery holes support the potential for significant additional resource expansion at Silvertip. Recent high-grade intercepts at Kensington and Palmarejo also demonstrate the potential for further mine life extensions

•Strategic sale of La Preciosa silver project completed – Coeur closed the sale of the La Preciosa silver project during the quarter for total fixed proceeds of nearly $36 million, including $15 million in cash, and additional potential contingent consideration of up to $59 million plus two royalties covering the La Preciosa land package

•Kensington POA 1 key federal authorizations received – The U.S. Forest Service issued the Final Record of Decision approving Coeur’s proposed amendment to increase tailings and waste rock storage capacity to accommodate future growth potential at Kensington. Similarly, the Company also received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Record of Decision and Permit

•Updated greenhouse gas (“GHG”) net intensity targets – On April 27, 2022, Coeur published its 2021 ESG Report which included an updated GHG emissions target of a 35% reduction in net intensity by the end of 2024. The Company’s previous goal was a 25% net intensity reduction by 2025

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2021

Revenue

We sold 75,211 gold ounces and 2.5 million silver ounces, compared to 88,930 gold ounces and 2.6 million silver ounces. Revenue decreased by $19.5 million, or 9%, as a result of a 15% and 7% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, partially offset by a 4% increase in average realized gold and silver prices. The decrease in gold and silver ounces sold was primarily due to lower production at Rochester, Kensington and Wharf. Gold and silver accounted for 69% and 31% of 2022 sales revenue, respectively. This compares to gold and silver accounting for 71% and 29% of 2021 sales revenue, respectively.

The following table summarizes consolidated metal sales:

Metal sales	$	188,404	$	207,884	$	(19,480)	(9)	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales decreased $3.2 million, or 2%, primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold, partially offset by higher operating costs partially due to inflationary pressures and the $3.3 million favorable impact from foreign currency hedges in the comparable period of 2021. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $9.0 million, or 25%, primarily due to lower gold and silver and ounces sold.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation and outside service costs.

Exploration expense decreased $8.2 million, or 60% driven by lower planned investment across the portfolio.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, stemming from lower operating costs at noncore asset locations, partially offset by higher costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and higher asset retirement accretion.

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

Other Income and Expenses

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $10.6 million compared to a loss of $7.5 million as a result of an increase in the value of the Company’s equity investments. For additional details on the Company’s equity investments see Note 6 -- Investments.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $3.2) increased to $4.6 million from $3.2 million due to lower capitalized interest and higher interest paid under the RCF and finance lease obligations.

Other, net increased to a gain of $1.7 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million attributable to the $1.6 million gain from the sale of the La Preciosa project.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the first quarter of 2022, income and mining tax expense of approximately $1.7 million resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.1% for 2022. This compares to income tax expense of $0.4 million for an effective tax rate of 4.2% for 2021. 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 and liabilities; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) mining taxes; (v) foreign exchange rates; (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions; and (vii) percentage depletion. 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 2021 10-K.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $7.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $10.8 million, or $0.04 per share. The increase in net income was driven by a 4% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, lower exploration expense, higher gains from the sale of assets, and favorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments, partially offset by a 15% and 7% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, and higher operating costs. Adjusted net loss was $13.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $11.6 million, or $0.05 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Revenue

We sold 75,211 gold ounces and 2.5 million silver ounces, compared to 83,112 gold ounces and 2.4 million silver ounces. Revenue decreased by $13.7 million, or 7%, as a result of a 10% decrease in gold ounces sold and an 8% decrease in average realized silver prices, partially offset by a 3% increase in average realized gold prices. The decrease in gold ounces sold was primarily due to lower grades at Kensington. Gold and silver accounted for 69% and 31% of 2022 sales revenue, respectively. This compares to gold and silver accounting for 68% and 32% of 2021 sales revenue, respectively.

The following table summarizes consolidated metal sales:


	Three Months Ended				Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Change
In thousands	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Gold sales	$	129,451	$	138,322	$	(8,871)	(6)	%

Metal sales	$	188,404	$	202,117	$	(13,713)	(7)	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased $25.1 million, or 23%, primarily due to a lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCM”) adjustment of $7.6 million at Rochester, higher operating costs partially due to inflationary pressures, and the $3.1 million favorable impact from foreign currency hedges in the comparable period of 2021. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $3.5 million, or 12%, primarily due to lower gold ounces sold.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 11%, primarily due to lower compensation costs.

Exploration expense decreased $4.2 million, or 44% driven by lower planned investment across the portfolio.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 17%, stemming from lower costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and lower ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip, partially offset by higher asset retirement accretion.

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

Other Income and Expenses

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company incurred a $9.2 million loss in connection with the tender and redemption of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Senior Notes”) concurrent with the completed offering of the 2029 Senior Notes.

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $10.6 million compared to a loss of $3.8 million as a result of an increase in the value of the Company’s equity investments. For additional details on the Company’s equity investments see Note 6 -- Investments.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $3.2 million) decreased to $4.6 million from $4.9 million due to higher capitalized interest associated with the POA 11 project at Rochester, partially offset by higher interest paid under the 2029 Senior Notes compared to the 2024 Senior Notes, and higher interest paid under the RCF and finance lease obligations.

Other, net decreased to a gain of $1.7 million compared to $3.6 million due to lower gains on the sale of assets.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the first quarter of 2022, income and mining tax expense of approximately $1.7 million resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.1% for 2022. This compares to income tax expense of $12.8 million for an effective tax rate of 86.1% for 2021. 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 sale of non-core assets; (ii) the non-recognition of tax assets; (iii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iv) geographic distribution of that income; (v) mining taxes; (vi) foreign exchange rates; (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions; and (viii) percentage depletion. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

Silvertip

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Silvertip suspended mining and processing activities, unrelated to COVID-19, in February 2020. Ongoing carrying and suspension costs are included in Pre-development, reclamation, and other.

Coeur continues advancing study work to assess the economics of a potential larger expansion and restart of Silvertip. The Company’s objective remains targeting a higher throughput rate to lower unit costs and to take advantage of Silvertip’s expanding resource base, while sequencing an expansion and restart following the completion and commissioning of POA 11. Results from this ongoing work remain on track and are expected to be available by the end of the year.

Coeur continues to generate positive results from ongoing exploration as the Company evaluates various opportunities to enhance the economics of a potential expansion and restart of Silvertip.

Ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip totaled $6.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $6.0 million in the prior period. Capital expenditures decreased to $11.9 million from $26.1 million as residual costs for completed mill decommissioning and planned early civil works construction were paid during the prior quarter. For 2022, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $18 - $24 million, primarily focused on underground development and infill drilling as well as study work to evaluate additional opportunities to enhance the economics of a potential expansion and restart.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $74.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $215.0 million available under the RCF. Cash and cash equivalents increased $16.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to the net proceeds of $98.4 million from the sale of 22.1 million shares of its common stock, proceeds of $15.3 million received from the sale of the La Preciosa project, and a 4% increase in average realized gold and silver prices. This was partially offset by a 15% and 7% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold and capital expenditures related to POA 11 at Rochester.

The RCF was amended in March 2021 to extend the maturity to March 2025 and to potentially allow the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $55.0 million drawn and $30.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the RCF. On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the RCF, by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum principal amount of the RCF by $90.0 million in incremental loans and commitments to an aggregate of $390.0 million. The Company also holds $161.9 million of equity securities including a 17.8% interest in Victoria Gold.

In March 2022, the Company completed a $100.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Equity Offering”). The Company sold a total of 22,053,275 shares of common stock in the Equity Offering at an average price of $4.53 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $98.0 million.

We currently believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next twelve months and longer-term. We expect to use a combination of cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our RCF and additional finance leases to fund near term capital requirements, including those described in this Report for POA 11 and in our 2022 capital expenditure guidance. We also have additional potential sources of funding including proceeds from potential

asset sales, and the monetization of our equity investments, including our investment in Victoria Gold. Our longer-term plans contemplate the expansion and restart of Silvertip, as well as the continued exploration and potential development of our other projects, such as Crown/Sterling and the Lincoln Hill area adjacent to Rochester.

As of March 31, 2022, Coeur incurred approximately $283 million toward the expansion. With the formalization of the recently-awarded SMPEI and final major high-voltage electrical contracts, the Company has committed approximately $477 million of capital since the inception of the project, representing 80% of the re-baselined cost estimate of $597 million. Coeur estimates capital expenditures related to POA 11 in 2022 to be approximately $217 - $257 million and $131 - $171 million in 2023.

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

If and to the extent liquidity resources are insufficient to support short- and long-term expenditures, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities, among other financing options, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company, as discussed in more detail under Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2021 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this report.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.4 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $34.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and net cash used in operating activities of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $41.5 million, compared to $48.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and $65.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”). Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was impacted by the following key factors for the applicable periods:

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(6,427)	$	34,936	$	(4,359)

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $41.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of a 15% and 7% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, mining and income taxes at Palmarejo, and timing of metal recoveries at Rochester and Wharf, partially offset by a 4% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, lower exploration costs and timing of VAT collections at Palmarejo. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $19.5 million, of which $27.8 million was due to lower volume of gold and silver sales, partially offset by $8.3 million due to higher average realized gold and silver prices.

Net cash used in operating activities increased $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to lower gold ounces sold (10%), an 8% decrease in average realized silver prices, and higher operating costs, partially offset by a 3% increase in average realized gold prices, lower exploration costs, and timing of VAT collections at Palmarejo. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $13.7 million, of which $13.3 million was due to lower volume of gold and silver sales and $5.2 million due to lower average realized silver prices, partially offset by $4.8 million due to higher average realized gold prices.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $54.1 million compared to $99.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021. Cash used in investing activities decreased primarily due to the timing of payments related to the POA 11 construction activities at Rochester and the impact of the receipt of net proceeds of $15.3 million from the sale of the La Preciosa project. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $69.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $100.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily related to POA 11 construction activities at Rochester, and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in both periods.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $54.1 million compared to $53.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to construction activities related to POA 11 at Rochester, partially offset by the impact of the receipt of net proceeds of $15.3 million from the sale of the La Preciosa project. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $69.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $59.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily related to POA 11 construction activities at Rochester, and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington. Capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily related to POA 11 construction activities at Rochester, potential expansion expenditures at Silvertip and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington.

The Company is experiencing inflationary pressures, specifically with respect to building materials and fuel as well as overall tightness in the construction market related to capital projects, most notably the POA 11 project at Rochester, and to operating costs company-wide.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $76.7 million compared to $36.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of $98.4 million from the sale of 22.1 million shares of its common stock in the Equity Offering, partially offset by the net repayment of $10.0 million under the RCF. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company drew $45.0 million, net, from the RCF.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $76.7 million compared to $119.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of $98.4 million from the sale of 22.1 million shares of its common stock in the Equity Offering, partially offset by the net repayment of $10.0 million under the RCF. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $367.5 million from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, partially offset by the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes for $238.3 million, including premiums.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2021 10-K and 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, fund future cash interest payments and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption and for general working capital purposes, from time-to-time we may (1) issue equity securities for cash in public or private offerings or (2) repurchase certain of our debt securities for cash or in exchange for other securities, which may include secured or unsecured notes or equity, in each case in open market or privately negotiated transactions. We evaluate any such transactions in light of prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be significant and any debt repurchase transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities’ face amount.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP

financial measures in the tables below. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

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


	Three Months Ended

Adjusted net income (loss) per share - Diluted	$	(0.05)	$	(0.05)	$	0.06

(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2022, tax effect of adjustments of $11.0 million (96%) is primarily related to the de-recognition of deferred tax liabilities related to the sale of Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa, S.A. de C.V. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, tax effect of adjustments of $9.7 million (-115%) is primarily related to the VAT write-off.

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 2029 Senior Notes and the RCF to determine our ability to make certain payments and incur additional indebtedness. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Net income (Loss) or Cash Flow from Operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and those calculations may not be comparable to our presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:


	Three Months Ended
In thousands except per share amounts	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		March 31, 2021

COVID-19 costs	972		681		3,005




Adjusted EBITDA	$	41,527	$	48,700	$	65,867

Free Cash Flow

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

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

Free cash flow	$	(75,929)	$	42,224	$	(65,932)	$	(63,783)

Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital

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

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

Operating cash flow before changes in working capital	$	23,779	$	37,789	$	41,580

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.

The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations and engages in risk management strategies to mitigate these risks. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements”. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 of this Report - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.

Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices

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

Hedging

To mitigate the risks associated with metal price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 232,000 ounces of gold at March 31, 2022 that settle monthly through June 2023. The Company is targeting to hedge up to 70% of expected gold production through 2022, 50% of expected gold production for the first half of 2023 and 25% of expected gold production for the second half of 2023 in order to protect cash flow during a period of elevated capital expenditures, and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $1,956 per ounce of gold, respectively. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the spot price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The forward contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price is below the spot price of a commodity, and (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this report.

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the gold forward contracts was a liability of $1.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized a loss of $0.5 million related to expired contracts in Revenue and the remaining outstanding forwards contracts were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A 10% increase in the price of gold at March 31, 2022 would result in a net realized loss of $43.4 million, the closing price of gold was $1,948 per ounce. As of May 3, 2022, the closing price of gold was $1,870 per ounce.

Provisional Metal Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. Depending on the difference between the price at the time of sale and the final settlement price, embedded derivatives are recorded as either a derivative asset or liability. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, are marked to the market gold and silver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 12,530 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,938. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $0.5 million during the year ended March 31, 2022. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.5 million.

Foreign Currency

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

Foreign Exchange Hedging

To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts. In 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts at March 31, 2022.

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 March 31, 2022.

Investment Risk

Equity Price Risk

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $13.7 million in Fair value adjustments, net due to increases in the stock price of those equity securities. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the equity securities was $161.9 million. A 10% change in realized equity prices would result in an unrealized gain or loss of $16.2 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) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its 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 2021 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 this Form 10-Q. Except as supplemented and updated below, the risk factors set forth in the 2021 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 outside the United States also expose us to economic and operational risks.

Our operations outside the United States also expose us to economic and operational risks. Local economic conditions, as well as epidemics, pandemics or natural disasters, can cause shortages of skilled workers and supplies, increase costs and adversely affect the security of operations. In addition, higher incidences of criminal activity and violence in the area of some of our foreign operations, including drug cartel-related violence in Mexico, could adversely affect our ability to operate in an optimal fashion and may impose greater risks of extortion, theft and greater risks to our personnel, supply of goods and services to our operations and our property. These conditions, including security concerns in certain communities surrounding the Palmarejo complex in early 2022 impacting third party deliveries of supplies to Palmarejo, could adversely impact our operations and lead to lower productivity and higher costs, which would adversely affect results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, acts of civil disobedience are not uncommon in areas in Mexico where our operations or projects are located. In recent years, many mining companies have been the targets of actions to restrict their legally entitled access to mining concessions or property. Such acts of civil disobedience often occur with no warning and can result in significant direct and indirect costs. We cannot provide assurance that there will be no disruptions to site access in the future, which could adversely affect our business.

We sell silver and gold doré, gold concentrate, and silver, zinc and lead concentrates in U.S. dollars, but we conduct operations outside the United States in local currency. Currency exchange movements could also adversely affect our results of operations.

We are required to obtain and renew governmental permits in order to conduct operations, a process which is often costly and time-consuming. Our ability to obtain necessary government permits to expand operations or begin new operations may be materially affected by third-party activists.

In the normal course of our business, we are required to obtain and renew governmental permits for exploration, operations and expansion of existing operations and for the development of new projects, such as the permits recently obtained for POA 11 at Rochester, POA 1 at Kensington and the permitting effort currently underway at Palmarejo. Obtaining and renewing governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process. The timeliness and success of permitting efforts are contingent upon many variables not within our control, including the interpretation of permit approval requirements administered by the applicable permitting authority and government and third-party sentiment towards the mining industry generally. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are necessary to our operations or the cost and time required to obtain or renew permits may exceed our expectations. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting process could delay the development or impede the operation of a mine, which in turn could materially adversely affect our revenues and future growth. In addition, key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be changed in a manner that adversely affects our operations.

Private parties such as environmental activists frequently attempt to intervene in the permitting process and to persuade regulators to deny necessary permits or seek to overturn permits that have been issued. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings. These third-party actions can materially increase the costs and cause delays in the permitting process and could cause us to not proceed with the development or expansion of a mine. In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, operate and expand mines and to conduct our operations will likely depend on our ability to develop, operate, expand and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, human health and safety of communities in which we operate.

If future permitting applications or amendments are not approved on a timely basis or at all, or if the permitting process is delayed for any reason, including to address public comments, our plans for continued operations and future growth could be materially adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
