Year-to-date, the Company has delivered production of 495,668 gold equivalent ounces at cost of sales of $1,173 per gold equivalent ounce and AISC of $1,516 per gold-equivalent ounce.

Financial results: Attributable net income in the third quarter of 2023 was $15.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and adjusted attributable net income was $53.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, attributable net income was $119.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, and adjusted attributable net income was $149.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, operating cash flow was $135.3 million and free cash flow was $87.8 million.

Continued delivery of peer-leading capital returns: For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has returned $88.5 million to shareholders, including $43.2 million in dividends and $45.3 million in share repurchases through the cancellation of 3,026,993 shares. In addition, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share payable on December 11, 2023.

Balance sheet and financial strength: As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $437.7 million, after returning $14.3 million to shareholders through quarterly dividends and making $35.8 million in debt repayments during the quarter to extinguish the remaining balance on its Term Loan. In connection to the repayment and termination of the Term Loan, $33.4 million of restricted cash was released. On August 15, 2023, the Company announced that its existing revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) was refinanced and increased from $200.0 million to $400.0 million, with an additional accordion feature of $100.0 million. Under the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement, amounts that are borrowed will incur variable interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin. The margin will be determined based on the Company’s net leverage ratio and amounts drawn from the Facility and will range from 2.00% to 2.75%. The facility matures on August 15, 2027.

1.THE COMPANY
SSR Mining Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "SSR Mining," or the "Company”) is a precious metals mining company with four producing assets located in the United States, Türkiye, Canada and Argentina. The Company is principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in Türkiye and the Americas. The Company produces gold doré as well as copper, silver, lead and zinc concentrates. The Company’s diversified asset portfolio is comprised of high-margin, long-life assets located in some of the world's most prolific metal districts. The Company’s focus is on safe, profitable production from its Çöpler Gold Mine ("Çöpler") in Erzincan, Türkiye, Marigold mine ("Marigold") in Nevada, USA, Seabee Gold Operation ("Seabee") in Saskatchewan, Canada, and Puna Operations ("Puna") in Jujuy, Argentina, and to advance, as market and project conditions permit, its principal development projects.

SSR Mining is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in the U.S. under the symbol "SSRM" and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in Australia under the symbol "SSR."

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
As a mining company, the revenue, profitability and future rate of growth of the Company are substantially dependent on the prevailing prices for gold, silver, lead and zinc. The prices of these metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Mineral properties, plant and equipment; Inventories; Deferred income tax assets and Goodwill are sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition, the Company maintains cash balances at banking institutions in various jurisdictions which may or may not have deposit insurance. The Company mitigates potential cash risk by maintaining bank accounts with credit-worthy financial institutions. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Changes to operating segments
During the first quarter of 2023 the Company changed the way management internally reviews and evaluates operating performance and manages the business. The Company determined it has four reportable segments: Çöpler, Marigold, Seabee and Puna. The Company’s previous exploration, evaluation and development properties are now managed by the nearest or adjacent reportable segment except for greenfield standalone prospects, which are included in Corporate and other.

Prior period segment information has been recast to conform with current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05 "Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement" ("ASU 2023-05"). ASU 2023-05 provides guidance requiring a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is applicable prospectively to joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3.ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
Acquisition of up to 40% ownership and operatorship in the Hod Maden Project
On May 8, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alacer Gold Corporation, reached an agreement to acquire from Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Lidya Mines”) an up to 40% interest in, and operational control of, the Hod Maden gold-copper development project, located in northeastern Türkiye (the "Transaction"). Hod Maden was owned by Artmin Madencilik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Artmin”), a joint venture owned 70% by Lidya Mines and 30% by Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon”) prior to the closing of the Transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction, the Company made a $120.0 million cash payment to Lidya Mines to acquire a 10% interest in Artmin. The Company has the option to acquire an additional 30% interest in Artmin from Lidya Mines for $120.0 million in structured payments tied to the completion of project construction spending milestones. Additionally, the Company will make contingent payments to Lidya Mines including $30.0 million in milestone payments payable in accordance with an agreed upon schedule beginning at the start of construction and ending on the first anniversary of commercial production and $84.0 million payable upon the delineation of an additional 500,000 gold equivalent ounces of mineral reserves at the Hod Maden project in excess of the project’s current mineral reserves and mineral resources.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid is as follows (in thousands):

Cash paid to Lidya Mines for 10% interest
$120,000 
Contingent consideration tied to completion of operational milestones (1)
24,300 
Contingent consideration tied to delineation of new reserves (1)
4,300 
Total consideration$148,600 

(1) The fair value of the two elements of contingent consideration are based on a discounted cash flow model. The contingent consideration is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to certain assumptions that are not based on observable market data (refer to Note 10 for more information). The significant assumptions include estimates of timing of completion of project milestones, probability of delineation of additional reserves, and discount rates. The contingent consideration is included within Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determined that Artmin is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it is the primary beneficiary and is consolidated under ASC 810 as the Company has the power to direct the significant activities and the right to receive benefits and obligation to absorb losses of Artmin. The assets of Artmin can only be used to settle the obligations of Artmin and not the obligations of the Company. The creditors of Artmin do not have recourse to the assets or general credit of the Company to satisfy its liabilities. The Company concluded that Artmin was not a business based on its assessment under ASC 805 and accounted for the acquisition as an initial consolidation of a VIE that is not a business under ASC 810. There was no gain or loss recognized upon initial consolidation of the VIE as the sum of the fair value of the consideration paid and non-controlling interest equaled the fair value of the net assets on the acquisition date. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the Transaction included in Other operating expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company retained a third-party appraiser to determine the fair value of the consideration paid, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date. The fair value estimates were based on income and market valuation methods. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date (in thousands):

ASSETS

Trade and other receivables36 
Inventories
Prepaids and other current assets24

Total liabilities assumed136,897 
 Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed 553,478 
 Non-controlling interest (404,878)
$148,600 

(1) The fair value of mineral properties, plant and equipment is based on applying the income and market valuation methods. The significant assumptions include future metal prices, estimated quantities of mineral reserves and mineral resources, future capital and operating expenditures, and discount rates.

(2) Deferred income tax liabilities represent the future tax expense associated with the differences between the fair value allocated to assets and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities.

The assets acquired are included in the Corporate and other operating segment. The non-controlling interest is representative of Lidya Mines and Horizon’s combined 90% interest and is inclusive of the 30% redeemable interest. As the redemption features are solely within the control of the Company, the redeemable non-controlling interest in Artmin is classified within permanent equity under ASC 480.

In connection with the acquisition of the Hod Maden project, Horizon advanced Artmin $4.5 million to help fund working capital. The loan is unsecured, bears interest at the credit default swap premium of Türkiye plus a fixed spread of 4.0% and matures on June 28, 2028. As of September 30, 2023, no repayments have been made on the loan. The liability is included in Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Acquisition of Taiga Gold Corp.

On April 14, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Taiga Gold Corp. (“Taiga Gold”), which holds the exploration and evaluation stage resources in Saskatchewan, Canada in proximity to the Company’s Seabee mine and Fisher project. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition for total consideration of $24.8 million. The total consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $24.8 million, exploration and evaluation assets of $27.8 million, and a related deferred tax liability of $7.5 million. The assets are included in the Seabee mine operating segment.
Divestitures

On July 6, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the Pitarrilla project in Durango, Mexico, included in the Corporate and other segment, to Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour Silver"). The consideration received included cash of $35.0 million, Endeavour Silver common shares with a fair value on the closing date of $25.6 million (8,577,380 shares at $2.99 per share), and 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Pitarrilla property. A gain of $0.6 million was recognized, included in Gain on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, calculated as the difference between the consideration received and carrying amount of the net assets.

4.OPERATING SEGMENTS

Provisional metal sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the change in the fair value of the Company's embedded derivatives relating to provisional concentrate metal sales was an increase of $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was an increase of $11.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The changes in fair value have been recorded in Revenue.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had silver sales of 4.48 million ounces at an average price of $22.48 per ounce, lead sales of 20.02 million pounds at an average price of $0.98 per pound, and zinc sales of 1.75 million pounds at an average price of $1.11 per pound, subject to normal course final pricing over the next several months.
6.INCOME AND MINING TAXES
The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate was (8.8)% for the first nine months of 2023 compared to 7.1% for the first nine months of 2022. The primary drivers of the change in the effective rate were due to foreign currency fluctuations, particularly with the devaluation of the Turkish Lira relative to the USD, partially offset by the effects of the corporate tax rate increase in Türkiye.
In July 2023, the Republic of Türkiye enacted an increase in the corporate income tax rate. The corporate income tax rate of 20% increased to 25% for 2023 and subsequent years. The increase is effective on July 15, 2023 with retroactive application to January 1, 2023. As a result of the rate increase, the Company incurred deferred income tax expense of approximately $68.9 million.
The Company’s statutory tax rate for the period is 27.0%. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations, particularly with the devaluation of the Turkish Lira relative to the USD, partially offset by the effects of the corporate tax rate in Türkiye.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, is as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, nil and $8.6 million, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were nil and $5.2 million.

On March 12, 2023, Türkiye enacted Tax Amnesty legislation, which allows taxpayers to voluntarily pay tax on uncertain tax positions and waives assessed interest, penalties up to 50.0% of tax and risk of audit if paid in accordance with the process outlined in the legislation. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company released $7.2 million of tax, interest, and penalties in Income and mining tax benefit (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company paid $1.4 million in a cash settlement in accordance with its Tax Amnesty agreement.

9.INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company calculates basic net income (loss) per share using, as the denominator, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share uses, as its denominator, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potential dilutive shares during the period.
Potential dilutive common shares include stock options, Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), and convertible notes for periods in which the Company has reported net income (loss).

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, $1.2 million of interest saving on convertible notes, net of tax, and 12,825 shares were excluded from the diluted income per common share calculation because the Company incurred a net loss and the effect would be antidilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, $1.2 million of interest saving on convertible notes, net of tax, and 12,542 shares were excluded from the diluted income per common share calculation because the Company incurred a net loss and the effect would be antidilutive.

10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
20

SSR Mining Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Level 3 - Prices 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 and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring (at least annually) and nonrecurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

(1)Marketable securities of publicly quoted companies, consisting of investments, are valued using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices in an active market obtained from securities exchanges.  
(2)At times, the Company manages a portion of its exposure to fluctuation in diesel prices and foreign currency exchange rates through hedges. In periods when the Company has open hedge positions, the derivative assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including quoted prices in active markets. The Company’s provisional metal sales contracts, included in Trade and other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are valued using inputs derived from observable market data, including quoted commodity forward prices. The inputs do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(3)Certain items of deferred consideration are included in Level 3, as certain assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value are not based on observable market data.
(4)The contingent consideration related to the Transaction are included in Level 3, as certain assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value are not based on observable market data. The fair value of the contingent consideration tied to completion of operational milestones was determined using a discounted cash flow model. The significant assumptions include estimates of timing of completion of milestones and a discount rate of 6.0%. The fair value of the contingent consideration tied to delineation of new reserves was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant assumptions include estimates of timing of delineation of new reserves, a 10.0% probability of delineation of new reserves and a discount rate of 6.0%.

Convertible Debt

2019 Notes

On March 19, 2019, the Company issued $230.0 million of 2.50% convertible senior notes due in 2039 (the “2019 Notes”) for net proceeds of $222.9 million after payment of commissions and expenses related to the offering of $7.1 million. The 2019 Notes mature on April 1, 2039 and bear an interest rate of 2.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2019 Notes are convertible into the Company's common shares at a fixed conversion rate, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, holders of the 2019 Notes may be entitled to an increased conversion rate.
As a result of ongoing dividends and in accordance with the 2019 Notes Agreement, during the third quarter of 2022 the conversion rate was adjusted to 56.4776 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2019 Notes converted.
Prior to April 1, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2019 Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sales price of its common shares for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. On or after April 1, 2026, the Company may redeem the 2019 Notes in full or in part, for cash.
Holders of the 2019 Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or part of their 2019 Notes on April 1 of each of 2026, 2029 and 2034, or upon certain fundamental corporate changes. The repurchase price will be equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company does not have any financial covenants in relation to the 2019 Notes.

Term Loan
On September 16, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of the Çöpler mine, the Company assumed a term loan (the "Term Loan"), with a fair value of $245.0 million as of the date of acquisition, with a syndicate of lenders (BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA, ING Bank NV, Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking and UniCredit S.P.A.). The Term Loan bears interest at the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a fixed interest rate margin in the range of 3.50% to 3.70% depending on the tranche. The Term Loan had no mandatory hedging or cash sweep requirements and no prepayment penalties.
On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan. The amendment amends the Term Loan to replace LIBOR-based benchmark rates with secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR")-based benchmark rates. After giving effect to this amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan generally bore interest at adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable interest rate margin ranging from 3.5% to 3.7% depending on the tranche. Adjusted term SOFR for the Term Loan was the SOFR benchmark plus a credit spread adjustment ranging from approximately 0.0064% to 0.71513% depending on the applicable interest period selected.

On September 22, 2023, the Company terminated the Term Loan upon full repayment of the outstanding balance in the amount of $35.8 million. In connection with the repayment of the Term Loan, the restrictions on certain cash accounts totaling $33.4 million were released.
Credit Agreement
On June 7, 2021, the Company amended its existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity to June 8, 2025 and increase the Credit Agreement to $200.0 million with a $100.0 million accordion feature (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). Amounts drawn under the Amended Credit Agreement are subject to variable interest rates at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%, based on the Company's net leverage ratio.
On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into a further amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, and along with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as co-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, the lenders party thereto and certain subsidiary guarantors named therein. The amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity to August 15, 2027, (ii) increases the credit agreement to $400.0 million with an additional accordion feature of $100.0 million and (iii) modifies the reference rate from LIBOR to an adjusted SOFR plus applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio and amounts drawn on the credit facility ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%. The adjusted SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods.
The Second Amended Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and secured by certain assets and subsidiaries of the Company. Additionally, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants and affirmative covenants as well as certain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and maintain certain ratios for interest coverage and net leverage.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its covenants. As of September 30, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding on the Second Amended Credit Agreement, $399.1 million of borrowing capacity was available and outstanding letters of credit totaled $0.9 million.

Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, revenue increased by $218.8 million, or 131.3%, to $385.4 million, as compared to $166.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to 123.8% more ounces of gold sold at a 13.1% higher average realized gold price and 27.7% more ounces of silver sold. The increase in gold ounces sold was primarily related to the impact of the temporary suspension of operations at Çöpler that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue increased by $159.4 million, or 18.9%, to $1,001.0 million as compared to $841.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to 9.8% more ounces of gold sold at a 4.8% higher average realized gold prices and 23.0% more ounces of silver sold. For a complete discussion of revenue, refer to the Results of Operations below.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased by $108.2 million, or 101.7%, to $214.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $106.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was mainly due to 123.8% more ounces of gold sold and higher operating costs and inflationary pressure on costs compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in cost of sales was primarily related to the impact of the temporary suspension of operations at Çöpler that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of sales increased by $159.7 million, or 37.6%, to $584.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $424.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Debt
Term Loan
On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan. The amendment amended the Term Loan to replace LIBOR-based benchmark rates with secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR")-based benchmark rates.
On September 22, 2023, the Company terminated the Term Loan upon full repayment of the outstanding balance. In connection with the repayment of the Term Loan, the restrictions on certain cash accounts totaling $33.4 million were released.
Credit Agreement
On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, and along with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as co-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, the lenders party thereto and certain subsidiary guarantors named therein. The amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity to August 15, 2027, (ii) increases the credit agreement to $400.0 million with a $100.0 million accordion feature and (iii) modifies the reference rate from LIBOR to an adjusted SOFR plus applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio and amounts drawn on the credit facility ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%.
See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
The Company's working capital at September 30, 2023, together with future cash flows from operations, are expected to be sufficient to fund planned activities and commitments.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the Company's cash flow activity for nine months ended September 30:

Cash provided by operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $218.6 million compared to $42.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is mainly due to higher average realized gold prices in 2023 as compared to 2022, an increase in sales in 2023 at Marigold, Puna and Çöpler as a result of the temporary suspension of operations at Çöpler during 2022, partially offset by lower sales at Seabee.

Cash used in investing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $280.2 million compared to $70.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $210.2 million used is primarily due to spend of $120.0 million for the acquisition of the Hod Maden project in 2023 compared to $24.8 million for the acquisition of Taiga Gold in 2022, increased capital expenditures in the amount of $73.3 million in 2023 as compared to 2022 related to the purchase of haul trucks and leach pad processing facility improvements at Marigold and the expansion of the tailings storage facility at Çöpler, and lower proceeds from the sale of mineral properties, plant and equipment in the amount of $35.1 million related to the sale of the Pitarrilla project.
Cash used in financing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $157.8 million compared to $238.6 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to fewer share repurchases and cancellation of common shares in the amount of $54.7 million and lower non-controlling interest dividends in the amount of $34.5 million in 2023 as compared to 2022.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations since December 31, 2022 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s contractual obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist in understanding the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in decision-making, as well as to provide key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders will find this information useful to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. These performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Measure - Cash Costs and AISC
The Company uses cash costs and cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is Cost of sales. The Company believes these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes they are relevant metrics used to understand its operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits. Thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production. In calculating cash costs and cash costs per ounce, the Company also excludes the impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of its underlying operations.
AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments and financing costs are also excluded.
The Company believes that AISC represents the total costs of producing gold and silver from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders with additional information about its operating performance and ability to generate cash flows. AISC allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows.
When deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.

Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted Attributable Net Income (Loss)
Adjusted attributable net income (loss) and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per share are used by management and investors to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and Net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders. Adjusted attributable net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, including impairment adjustments; inflationary impacts on tax balances; transaction, integration and SEC conversion costs; changes in tax rate for other non-recurring items. SEC conversion costs are the costs associated with the Company's transition in 2022 from being a foreign private issuer to a domestic reporting issuer for purposes of the SEC's reporting and other requirements.

Non-GAAP Measure - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is an indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, including impairment charges; transaction, integration and SEC conversion costs; and other non-recurring items.
The most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders.
