NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain items in the prior period’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Table of Contents

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a current expected credit loss method. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experiences, current conditions and a forecast that is supportable. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Revenue

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of doré and concentrates. The following table presents the Company’s net sales for each period presented, disaggregated by source:


	Three months ended March 31,

(1)

Net of reserve of $378 and $478 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(2)

Net of reserve for obsolescence of $1,264.

In addition to the inventory above, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has $4.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of low-grade ore stockpile inventory included in other non-current assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a net realizable value inventory adjustment of $1.6 million and nil, respectively, for inventories at its Isabella Pearl Mine.

6. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $2.1 million and income tax expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes was calculated by using the consolidated effective tax rate. The consolidated effective tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate. At the federal level, the Company’s losses in the U.S. are taxed at 21%, while a 5% net proceeds of minerals tax applies to the Company’s operations in Nevada. The U.S. tax results are netted against the Company’s income in Mexico which is taxed at 37.5% (30% income tax and 7.5% mining tax), which has resulted in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory rates.

Enacted in response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provides roughly $2 trillion in economic relief to eligible businesses and individuals impacted by the novel coronavirus outbreak. The CARES Act is significant legislation that will affect nearly every aspect of the economy. The CARES Act affected corporate taxpayers, including corporations seeking sources of liquidity through net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback claims and income tax refunds. The Company has not applied for aid or relief funds under the CARES Act and in most cases will not qualify for such aid as our operations in the U.S. have continued uninterrupted and our suspended operation in Mexico is considered to be foreign business, thus not qualifying for benefits under the Act. However, as a result of changes under the CARES Act, corporate taxpayers with eligible NOLs may now carryback those losses to prior years to receive a refund of up to five years of prior taxes paid. As the CARES Act did not modify IRC Section 172(b)(3), a taxpayer, where advantageous, can still waive the carryback and elect to carry NOLs forward to subsequent tax years. Further, for years 2018 thru 2020, the CARES Act removed the 80% NOL utilization limitation on corporate taxpayers, thus the Company may use NOLs to fully offset taxable income in those years. The CARES Act has no immediate impact on the Company’s income taxes, however removal of the NOL utilization limitation will expedite its future realization of US losses generated post Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Table of Contents

The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary to the U.S. in the form of dividends. Mexico requires a 10% withholding tax on dividends to foreign parent companies on all post-2013 earnings. Dividends from earnings generated prior to 2014 were exempted from the new dividend withholding tax. The Company commenced distribution of post-2013 earnings from Mexico in 2018. According to the existing U.S. – Mexico tax treaty, the dividend withholding tax between these countries is limited to 5% if certain requirements are met. Based on the Company’s review of these requirements, it estimates it will pay a 5% withholding tax on dividends received from Mexico in 2020. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2020 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company believes that it has no liability for uncertain tax positions.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s asset retirement obligation related to the Aguila project in Mexico was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

11. Loans Payable

The Company has financed certain equipment purchases on a long-term basis.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has a Contract Mining Agreement with a mining contractor relating to mining activities at its Isabella Pearl project. Included in this Agreement is an embedded lease for the mining equipment for which the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability. Please see Note 13 for more information. In addition to the embedded lease payments, the Company pays the contract miner operational costs in the normal course of business. These costs represent the remaining future contractual payments for the Contract Mining Agreement over its term. The contractual payments are determined by rates within the Contract Mining Agreement, estimated tonnes moved and bank cubic yards for drilling and blasting. As of March 31, 2020, total estimated contractual payments remaining, excluding embedded lease payments, are $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has equipment purchase commitments aggregating approximately $1.1 million.

13. Leases

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company accounts for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to two years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases as of March 31, 2020 is 0.65 years.

The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases is determined based on the lease term adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company’s operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2020 was 4.48%.

There are no material residual value guarantees and no restrictions or covenants imposed by the Company’s leases.

Most of the Company’s leases have a standard payment schedule; however, the payments for its mining equipment embedded lease are determined by tonnage hauled. This embedded lease is within a Contract Mining Agreement entered into for the mining activities at the Company’s Isabella Pearl project. The payments, amortization of the right-of-use asset, and interest vary immaterially from forecasted amounts due to variable conditions at the mine. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $0.7 million to Inventory and $1.5 million to Property, plant, and mine development, respectively.

14. Embedded Derivatives

Concentrate sales contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the provisional pricing terms for unsettled shipments. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to accounts receivable and revenue to reflect the mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on metal forward prices. Please see Note 19 for additional information.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unsettled sales contracts as of March 31, 2020 with the quantities of metals under contract subject to final pricing occurring through May 2020:

15. Stock-Based Compensation

The Gold Resource Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) allows for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of common stock in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock grants, stock units, performance shares, performance share units and performance cash. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, any award outstanding under the any prior plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total of 14,804 RSUs vested and shares were issued with an intrinsic value of $0.1 million and a fair value of $0.1 million. No RSU’s vested during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 274,750 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $3.95 per share. Of that amount, 250,000 of the options were exercised on a net exercise basis, resulting in 44,698 shares being delivered. The remaining 24,750 options were exercised for cash. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and RSUs for the periods presented is as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,

	(in thousands)
Stock options	$	222	$	211
Restricted stock units		248		125
Total	$	470	$	336

The Company has a short-term incentive plan for its executive officers that provides for the grant of either cash or stock-based bonus awards payable upon achievement of specified performance metrics (the “STIP”). As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, nil has been accrued related to the STIP.

16. Shareholders’ Equity

On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with an investment banking firm (“Agent”) pursuant to which the Agent agreed to act as the Company’s sales agent with respect to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $75.0 million (the “Shares”). The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) April 3, 2021, (ii) the effective date for a shelf registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when a new ATM agreement will be effective, or (iii) the date that the ATM Agreement is terminated in accordance with its

terms. An aggregate of 3,850,000 shares and 2,562,130 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold through the ATM Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and other expenses, of $10.4 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock at a value of $3.88 per share as payment for a one-year investor relations agreement with a third-party.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.01 and $0.005 per common share, respectively, for an aggregate total of $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

17. Other Expense, net

Other expense, net, for the periods presented consisted of the following:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2020		2019
	(in thousands)
Unrealized currency exchange loss (gain)	$	1,618	$	(127)

Other expense		35		18
Total	$	1,513	$	25

(1)

Gains and losses due to changes in fair value are non-cash in nature until such time that they are realized through cash transactions. For additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements and investments, please see Note 19.

18. Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic earnings or loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options and other dilutive securities outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. All of the Company’s RSUs are considered to be dilutive.

The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Options to purchase 3.3 million and 3.6 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $9.48 and $10.48 were outstanding at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during those periods, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income per common share is calculated as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Net (loss) income (in thousands)	$	(3,121)	$	882
Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		66,022,202		60,672,133

19. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value accounting establishes 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

As required by accounting guidance, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	2020		2019		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	18,366	$	11,076	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion	$	4,111	$	4,265	Level 1
Receivables from provisional concentrate sales	$	4,043	$	8,362	Level 2
Loans payable	$	1,444	$	1,661	Level 2

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Gold and silver rounds/bullion consist of precious metals used for investment purposes and in the dividend program which are valued using quoted market prices. Please see Note 4 for additional information.

Trade accounts receivable include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million. Concentrate sales contracts provide for provisional pricing as specified in such contracts. These sales contain an embedded derivative related to the provisional pricing mechanism which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to sales to reflect the mark-to-market of outstanding provisional invoices based on the forward price curve. Because these provisionally priced sales have not yet settled as of the reporting date, the mark-to-market adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrealized losses of $0.1 million and unrealized gains of $0.2 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments. Please see Note 14 for additional information.

Loans payable consist of obligations for equipment purchases financed on a long-term basis. Loans payable are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. See Note 11 for additional information.

Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of these financial instruments were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as shown in the following table:

22. Subsequent Events

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a “pandemic”. On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a national health emergency order with an immediate suspension order for 30 days of all “non-essential” public and private sector business (which included mining) in order to mitigate the spread and transmission of COVID-19. As a result of this order, the Company suspended its Mexico operations on April 1, 2020. On April 20, 2020 the suspension order was extended to May 30, 2020. As of the date of the issuance of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other significant impacts, including impairments, to the Company’s operations and financial statements. The Company continues to monitor the situation and due to uncertainty of the pandemic, management's judgment regarding its impact on the results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition may change in the future and the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company sold 484,500 shares of its common stock under the ATM Agreement for net proceeds of $1.6 million.

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

The following discussion summarizes the results of operations of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, or “us”) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and compares those results to the three months ended March 31, 2019. It also analyzes our financial condition at March 31, 2020 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis and the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2019 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The discussion also presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) but which are important to management in its evaluation of our operating results and are used by management to compare our performance with what we perceive to be peer group mining companies and are relied on as part of management’s decision-making process. Management believes these measures may also be important to investors in evaluating our performance. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the discussion below under Non-GAAP Measures.

See Forward-Looking Statements at the end of this Item 2 for important information regarding statements contained herein.

Highlights

Consolidated highlights for the first quarter of 2020 are summarized below and discussed further in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis:

$28.0 million net sales;

$18.4 million cash balance at March 31, 2020;

$0.7 million dividend distributions, or $0.01 per share for the quarter; and

Consolidated production of 10,142 gold ounces and 407,625 silver ounces.

Overview

We are a mining company which pursues gold and silver projects that are expected to have both low operating costs and high returns on capital. We are presently focused on mineral production and exploration at our Mining Units in Oaxaca Mexico and Nevada U.S.A. Our Oaxaca Mining Unit produces doré and concentrates primarily from the Arista underground mine, which contains precious metals of gold and silver and base metals of copper, lead and zinc. Our Nevada Mining Unit produces doré from its Isabella Pearl open pit mine.

Precious metal gold equivalent, used periodically throughout this discussion, is determined by taking gold ounces produced or sold, plus silver ounces produced or sold converted to precious metal gold equivalent ounces using the gold to silver average price ratio for the period. The gold and silver average prices used to determine the gold to silver average price ratio are the actual metal prices realized from sales of our gold and silver.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure. In response to the pandemic, many jurisdictions, including the United States and Mexico, instituted restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations.

Currently the mining industry is listed as an essential business in the state of Nevada and the Company continues to operate its mining unit accordingly while utilizing safety measures. On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a national health emergency with an immediate suspension order for 30 days of all “non-essential” public and private sector business (which included mining) to mitigate the spread and transmission of the COVID-19. As a result, the Company suspended its Mexico operations and production on April 1, 2020. The Mexican government has given additional guidance requiring miners to remain closed until May 30, 2020. The Company plans to keep its Mexico operations suspended until governmental approval has been granted to re-start its operations.

In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and communities, we have taken precautionary measures including specialized training, social distancing, a work from home mandate where possible, and close monitoring of national and regional COVID-19 impacts and governmental guidelines. We are currently evaluating and optimizing recommencement of our Mexico operations in this rapidly changing environment. Our management and Board of Directors have analyzed various scenarios that might result from the effects of the pandemic, including one under which we might be forced to suspend operations at both of our mining units for several months due to mandates and or COVID-19 infections. While the numerous variables are difficult to assess given the ever-evolving COVID-19 global pandemic and various governmental approaches, we believe we have the necessary liquidity and capital resources to sustain such a prolonged impact. We are also evaluating potential supply chain disruptions. Due to the suspension of our Mexico operations and the uncertainty surrounding the long-term impact of the COVID-19 virus, we have withdrawn our 2020 production outlook.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and as of the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

Exploration and Development Activities

We perform exploration activities at our portfolio of exploration properties in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, U.S.A. All of the properties that make up our Oaxaca Mining Unit are located along what is known as the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur, which runs north 70 degrees west. Our properties comprise 55 kilometers of this structural corridor which spans three historic mining districts in Oaxaca. Our Nevada Mining Unit properties are in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt which is known for its significant and high-grade gold-silver production from current and historic mines.

Oaxaca Mining Unit, Mexico

Aguila project: During the first quarter of 2020, we continued to focus on development and ore extraction from the Arista mine. Exploration during the quarter focused on underground drilling at the Arista and Switchback vein systems. The Switchback drilling program targeted further expansion and delineation of the multiple parallel veins for reserve definition, expansion and mine plan optimization. The Switchback vein system remains open on strike and vertical extent. Six underground diamond drill holes totaling 2,487 meters were completed at the Aguila project during the first

Table of Contents

quarter of 2020. During the quarter, we also conducted surface geologic mapping and rock chip sampling in the Cerro Pilon area of the Aguila project. Surface diamond drilling is planned to target mineralized veins identified in this area.

Alta Gracia project: Mirador Mine development continued during the first quarter of 2020. Development and production was conducted on the ore shoot discovered on the Independencia vein during 2018 exploration. We continue to truck and process Mirador ore at the Aguila mill. During the quarter, only minor production came from Mirador while we focused higher volume production from Switchback in the Arista mine. Field exploration activities including surface geologic mapping and rock chip sampling continued at the Aguacatillo prospect on the Alta Gracia project during the quarter. Surface investigations were also completed on a new mineralized area at Alta Gracia.

Nevada Mining Unit, U.S.A.

Isabella Pearl project: During the first quarter, our ADR process plant continued to produce doré from our open pit, heap leach operation at the Isabella Pearl Mine. Exploration during the quarter targeted expansion of the Isabella Pearl open pit deposit, including 37 in-fill and step-out drill holes totaling 2,557 meters on the Isabella and Scarlet targets. Drilling also targeted additional high-grade surface samples situated over historic drill intercepts at Scarlet not previously drill-tested. Surface geological and alteration mapping and rock chip sampling continued from Scarlet to the historic mining area at the Civit Cat North West target. The Company currently has an effective Notice of Intent with permission to drill the Scarlet target which is located outside the current permitted mine plan. The Company targets drilling this new area in mid-2020.

East Camp Douglas property: We continued our review of historical geological, exploration and mining data on the East Camp Douglas property during the first quarter of 2020. We also continued 3D-modeling in the vicinity of workings of the Kernick, Sunset, and Triumph historic mine areas and lithocap area. These historic mines and the lithocap area continue to be evaluated for surface drilling in the future.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the periods presented:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2020		2019
	(in thousands)
Sales, net	$	28,005	$	26,578
Mine gross (loss) profit		(316)		5,439

(Benefit) provision for income taxes		(2,137)		1,071
Net (loss) income	$	(3,121)	$	882

Sales, net. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, consolidated sales were $28.0 million as compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is attributable to an increase in gold metal sales volumes in 2020, of which 3,755 gold ounces or $5.9 million was from the Isabella Pearl Mine from which we began selling doré in May 2019. Offsetting the increase in gold sales was a decrease in zinc sales as a result of lower prices and higher concentrate treatment and refining costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, consolidated sales volumes totaled 8,747 ounces and 360,807 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, as compared to 4,758 ounces and 268,189 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, for the same period in 2019. Please see the Oaxaca and Nevada Mining Unit’s sales discussion below for more information.

Mine gross (loss) profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, mine gross profit decreased by $5.8 million or 106% compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to higher base metal treatment and refining costs. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a net realizable value inventory

Table of Contents

adjustment of $1.6 million for Isabella Pearl that reduced consolidated mine gross profit. This adjustment was primarily due to low grade ore that was placed on the leach pad during the quarter.

General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.3 million as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was due to increased stock-based compensation and legal and accounting fees.

Exploration expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, exploration expenses totaled $1.2 million as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2019. The decreased exploration expense was primarily the result of decreased drilling at our Aguila project in Mexico.

Other expense, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded other expense of $1.5 million and $0.03 million. The increase in the 2020 period was a result of currency exchange losses due to changes in the Mexican Peso exchange rate, and an unrealized loss on our gold and silver bullion/rounds as a result of decreasing gold and silver prices from December 31, 2019. Please see Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(Benefit) provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our benefit for income taxes was $2.1 million and an income tax expense of $1.1 million, respectively. The tax benefit in 2020 is due to the loss before income taxes. Please see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net (loss) income. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net loss of $3.1 million and net income of $0.9 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the changes in our consolidated results of operations as discussed above.

Total cash cost after by-product credits are significantly affected by base metals sales during the periods presented.

Table of Contents

Oaxaca Mining Unit net sales of $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by $4.5 million, or 17%, when compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased average realized prices for base metals, which were slightly offset by increased average realized prices for gold and silver. Also contributing to the decrease in net sales was an increase in concentrate treatment and refining costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, precious metal prices increased from the same period in 2019 as follows: gold by 25% to $1,670, silver by 8% to $17.09 per ounce. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, base metal prices decreased from the same period in 2019 as follows: copper by 12% to $5,530 per tonne, lead by 18% to $1,691 per tonne, and zinc by 34% to $1,888 per tonne.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold 4,992 gold ounces and 355,228 silver ounces at a total cash cost after by-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce of $918, as compared to a cash cost after by-products of $314 in the same period in 2019. The increased cost per ounce was a result of lower by-product credits from the sale of base metals. Please see Non-GAAP Measures below for additional information concerning the cash cost per ounce measures.

Based on actual days the mill operated during the period.

(2)

The difference between what we report as "ounces/tonnes produced" and "payable ounces/tonnes sold" is attributable to the difference between the quantities of metals contained in the concentrates we produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also arise from inventory changes incidental to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades and recoveries which impact the amount of metals contained in concentrates produced and sold.

Table of Contents

Gold and silver production for the first quarter of 2020 totaled 6,450 ounces and 402,542 ounces, respectively, compared to 6,538 and 364,653 ounces over the same period in 2019. The slight decrease in gold production was the result of decreased grade from Aguila open-pit production, somewhat offset by higher overall mill throughput. The increase in silver production was the result of higher grades from Arista as well as higher throughput. Overall production benefited from increased average milled tonnage of 1,994 tonnes per day, or 4% increase, when compared to the same period in 2019. The additional mill throughput was for the most part a result of improvements to the Arista mill grinding capacity.

Nevada Mining Unit Sales

In May 2019, we began selling gold and silver doré from our Isabella Pearl Mine. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold 3,755 and 5,579 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, for net sales of $5.9 million.

The difference between what we report as "ounces produced" and "payable ounces sold" is attributable to the difference between the quantities of metals contained in the doré we produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also arise from inventory changes incidental to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades and recoveries which impact the amount of metals contained in doré produced and sold.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our Isabella Pearl Mine produced 3,692 ounces and 5,083 ounces of gold and silver, respectively. Gold and silver production was a result of expected lower grade ore mined in the Isabella zone, and therefore lower placement of ounces during the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company remains on schedule to access the upper portion of the higher-grade Pearl zone mid-year 2020, when gold grades and production are expected to gradually ramp higher for the remainder of 2020, primarily in the fourth quarter. This ramp up is a function of the continued removal of overburden waste above the Pearl zone.

Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this report, we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced some non-GAAP performance measures which we believe will assist with understanding the performance of our business. These measures are based on precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold and include cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-product credits per ounce, and total all-in sustaining cost per ounce (“AISC”). Because the non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

For financial reporting purposes, we report the sale of base metals as part of our revenue. Revenue generated from the sale of base metals in our concentrates is considered a by-product of our gold and silver production for the purpose of our total cash cost after by-product credits for our Oaxaca Mining Unit. We periodically review our revenues to ensure that our reporting of primary products and by-products is appropriate. Because we consider copper, lead and zinc to be by-products of our precious metal production, the value of these metals continues to be applied as a reduction to total cash costs in our calculation of total cash cost after by-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce sold. Likewise, we believe the identification of copper, lead and zinc as by-product credits is appropriate because of their lower individual economic value compared to gold and silver and due to the fact that gold and silver are the primary products we intend to produce. For our Nevada Mining Unit, silver sales are treated as a by-product.

Total cash cost, after by-product credits, is a measure developed by the Gold Institute in an effort to provide a uniform standard for comparison purposes. AISC is calculated based on the current guidance from the World Gold Council.

Total cash cost before by-product credits includes all direct and indirect production costs related to our production of metals (including mining, milling and other plant facility costs, smelter treatment and refining charges, royalties, and site general and administrative costs) less stock-based compensation allocated to production costs plus treatment and refining costs.

Total cash cost after by-product credits includes total cash cost before by-product credits less by-product credits, or revenues earned from base metals.

AISC includes total cash cost after by-product credits plus other costs related to sustaining production, including sustaining allocated general and administrative expenses and sustaining capital expenditures. We determined sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan.

Cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-product credits per ounce and AISC are calculated by dividing the relevant costs, as determined using the cost elements noted above, by precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, we had working capital of $28.2 million, consisting of current assets of $52.7 million and current liabilities of $24.5 million. This represents an increase of $5.5 million from the working capital balance of $22.7 million at December 31, 2019. Our working capital balance fluctuates as we use cash to fund our operations, financing and investing activities, including exploration, mine development, income taxes and shareholder dividends. Our March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 working capital was negatively affected by the current operating lease liability of $5.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, as a result of the adoption of the new leasing standard in 2019. Please see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impact on our business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We are not eligible for any relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act passed by the U.S Government on March 26, 2020 as only our foreign operations have been affected by COVID-19 and our Nevada mining operations are still operating as normal. We have taken additional safety precautions in Nevada to help alleviate the risk of contraction and spread of COVID-19 at our Isabella Pearl mine. We anticipate COVID-19 to have an adverse impact on our exploration plans, results of operations, financial position and cash flows during the current fiscal year. We have raised additional capital through selling securities pursuant to our At-the-Market Offering Agreement in order to ensure our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities for the foreseeable future under various scenarios.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.3 million to $18.4 million during the first three months of 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $5.0 million compared to a cash use of $0.6 million for the same period in 2019. The change is primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily inventories related to Isabella Pearl and receivables.

Net cash used in investing activities of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased $1.9 million from the same period in 2019 as a result of less Isabella Pearl mine development and less capital expenditures in Mexico as projects were completed in 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $9.4 million compared to $10.3 million for same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily related to due to less proceeds from the sale of our common shares under the ATM agreement as well as higher dividend payments in 2020 as compared to 2019.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, provisional sales contract risks, changes in interest rates, and equity price risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk; however, we may consider such arrangements in the future as we evaluate our business and financial strategy.

Commodity Price Risk

The results of our operations, cash flow, and financial condition depend in large part upon the market prices of gold and silver, and base metal prices of copper, lead and zinc. Gold and silver prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, the stability of exchange rates, the world supply of and demand for gold, silver and other metals, among other factors, can all cause significant fluctuations in commodity prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. The price of gold and silver has fluctuated widely in recent years, and future price declines could cause a mineral project to become uneconomic, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We have not entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for gold or silver. We may in the future more actively manage our exposure through derivative contracts or other commodity price risk management programs, although we have no intention of doing so in the near-term.

In addition to adversely affecting our reserve estimates, results of operations and/or our financial condition, declining gold and silver prices could require a reassessment of the feasibility of a project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause delays in the implementation of a project.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase or decrease our costs to the extent we pay costs in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We are primarily impacted by Mexican peso rate changes relative to the U.S. Dollar, as we incur some costs in the Mexican peso. When the value of the peso rises in relation to the U.S. Dollar, some of our costs in Mexico may increase, thus adversely affecting our operating results. Alternatively, when the value of the peso drops in relation to the U.S. Dollar, peso-denominated costs in Mexico will decrease in U.S. Dollar terms. These

Table of Contents

fluctuations do not impact our revenues since we sell our metals in U.S. dollars. Future fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect our financial results.

We have not utilized market-risk sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates but may in the future actively manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Provisional Sales Contract Risk

We enter into concentrate sales contracts which, in general, provide for a provisional payment to us based upon provisional assays and 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 from the sale of concentrates determined at the quoted metal prices at the time of shipment. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through revenue each period prior to settlement. Changes in the prices of metals between the shipment and final settlement date will result in adjustments to revenues related to the sales of concentrate previously recorded upon shipment. Please see Note 14 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding debt consists of equipment loans and leased equipment classified as capital leases. As the debt is at fixed rates, we consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time.

Equity Price Risk

We have in the past, and may in the future, seek to acquire additional funding by sale of common stock and other equity. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell our common stock at an acceptable price should the need for new equity funding arise.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A: Risk Factors

Except as follows, there were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For more information concerning our risk factors, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Our activities may be adversely affected by unforeseeable and unquantifiable health risks, such as COVID-19, whether those effects are local, nationwide or global. Matters outside our control may prevent us from executing on our operations and/or exploration programs, limit travel of Company representatives, adversely affect the health and welfare of Company personnel or prevent important vendors and contractors from performing normal and contracted activities.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has spread globally, including throughout the United States. In response, many jurisdictions, including in the United States, some of its political subdivisions and Mexico have instituted restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations. These restrictions have significantly disrupted economic activity in both the world, national and local economies and have caused volatility in capital markets. Our operations at the Aguila project in Oaxaca have already been temporarily suspended. The effects of the continued outbreak of COVID-19 and related government responses could include extended disruptions to supply chains and capital markets, reduced labor availability and productivity and a prolonged reduction in economic activity. These effects could have a variety of adverse impacts on us, including reduced demand for our products, impairment of goodwill or long-lived assets and impairment of our ability to develop and construct new mines and operate existing projects and to access funds from financial institutions and capital markets. In particular, these effects could disrupt or delay mining at our operating projects, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our operations, cash flow and financial condition. However, at this time, we are unable to determine the extent of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on current operations.
