Coeur Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

Reaffirms Full-Year 2022 Guidance

Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today reported first quarter 2022 financial results, including revenue of $188 million and cash flow from operating activities of $(6) million. The Company reported GAAP net income from continuing operations of $8 million, or $0.03 per share. On an adjusted basis1, Coeur reported EBITDA of $42 million, cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital of $24 million and net loss from continuing operations of $14 million, or $0.05 per share.

 

Key Highlights

  • 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 roughly $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

“Coeur delivered first quarter gold and silver production in-line with expectations, and we remain positioned to meet full-year 2022 guidance,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our site operating teams continue to address industry-wide cost pressures through innovative business improvement initiatives and efficiency enhancements that have helped to mitigate the impact of global inflation."

“We’re pleased to report that the pace of development activity at our Rochester POA 11 expansion project continues to accelerate. Nearly 80% of POA 11’s construction budget has been committed, and recently-announced liquidity enhancements have provided the funding and flexibility to support our priority of delivering POA 11 according to plan. Following completion and ramp-up, Rochester is expected to drive a new growth phase for Coeur, featuring robust precious metals production and free cash flow from an exclusively North American asset base with a large and growing U.S. footprint.”

Financial Results

First quarter 2022 revenue totaled $188 million compared to $208 million in the prior period and $202 million in the first quarter of 2021. The Company produced 75,409 and 2.5 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales totaled 75,211 ounces of gold and 2.5 million ounces of silver. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $1,721 and $24.06 per ounce, respectively, compared to $1,652 and $23.17 per ounce in the prior period and $1,664 and $26.19 per ounce in the first quarter of 2021.

Gold and silver sales accounted for 69% and 31% of quarterly revenue, respectively. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 56% of first quarter revenue.

Costs applicable to sales2 decreased slightly quarter-over-quarter to $133 million, largely due to lower production in the period. General and administrative expenses remained consistent during the quarter at $10 million.

Coeur invested approximately $14 million ($5 million expensed and $8 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter, compared to roughly $18 million ($14 million expensed and $4 million capitalized) in the prior period, reflecting lower planned investment across the portfolio following the Company’s highest-ever exploration investment in 2021. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $2 million during the first quarter. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $18 million, including the annual payment of the Mexican mining royalty tax of $9 million.

Quarterly operating cash flow totaled $(6) million compared to $35 million in the prior period, mainly driven by lower metal sales and changes in working capital. Changes in working capital during the quarter were $(30) million, compared to $(3) million in the prior period, largely due to timing of tax payments in Mexico, semi-annual interest payments and the annual incentive payout, offset by a cash inflow of $10 million associated with Coeur’s prepayment agreement at Kensington during the quarter.

Capital expenditures decreased 31% quarter-over-quarter to $70 million compared to $101 million in the prior period. Expenditures related to the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester totaled $30 million during the quarter compared to $47 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the timing of payments. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately 40% and 60%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital investment during the quarter.

Capital Projects Update

Rochester Expansion

As of March 31, 2022, Coeur has 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.

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.

Silvertip Expansion and Restart

Coeur continues to advance study work to assess the economics of a potential expansion and restart of its high-grade Silvertip silver-zinc-lead development project in British Columbia, Canada following the completion and commissioning of POA 11. The Company’s objective remains to complete an evaluation by year-end of higher throughput scenarios to reduce unit costs and to take advantage of Silvertip’s expanding, high-grade resource base.

Ongoing exploration activities continues to generate positive results. Exploration investment in the first quarter totaled approximately $2 million (substantially all capitalized) compared to roughly $4 million (substantially all expensed) in the prior period.

A new zone called Camp Creek West was discovered during the quarter that is shallower and contains one of the highest-grade thicknesses ever drilled at Silvertip. The zone is located west of the Camp Creek Fault in an area that has never been drilled and was discovered through geophysics. The zone appears to be open to the west, north and south. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company plans to continue the infill program in the Southern Silver and Discovery zones before switching to expansion drilling in the recently discovered Camp Creek West target later in the year.

Ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip totaled $6 million in the first quarter, compared to $6 million in the prior period. Capital expenditures during the first quarter totaled $12 million compared to $26 million in the prior period as residual costs for completed mill decommissioning and planned early civil works construction were paid during the 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 Update

Coeur ended the quarter with total liquidity of approximately $288 million, including $73 million of cash and $215 million of available capacity under its $300 million RCF4. Additionally, Coeur had $160 million of strategic investments in equity securities.

On May 3, 2022, the Company announced the completion of multiple initiatives to meaningfully bolster Coeur’s liquidity and materially enhance its balance sheet flexibility as it advances the transformational expansion of the Rochester expansion.

  • The Company worked with its bank lending syndicate to increase its total available borrowing capacity under its RCF to $390 million from $300 million. The RCF’s other key terms remain unchanged
  • Coeur completed a previously announced ATM equity offering program with the sale of approximately 22 million shares of common stock at an average price of $4.53 per share for gross proceeds of $100 million
  • The Company also added to its gold hedging program to now cover 70% of its 2022 expected gold production at an average forward price of $1,955 per ounce. Additionally, Coeur has hedged 38% of its 2023 expected gold production at an average forward price of $1,982 per ounce. By converting its existing zero-cost collars into gold forward sales and adding new forward sales to its hedging program, the Company has put significant downside price protection in place during a time of increased capital intensity. Coeur’s silver price exposure remains unhedged. An overview of the hedges currently implemented is outlined below:

Mark-to-Market Adjustments

The Company values its strategic investments in equity securities as of the end of each reporting period. The estimated fair values of Coeur’s equity investments in Victoria Gold Corp., Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. and Integra Resources Corp. were $141 million, $13 million and $5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022 compared to $124 million in Victoria Gold Corp. and $8 million in Integra Resources Corp. at December 31, 2021, resulting in a non-cash unrealized gain of approximately $14 million during the first quarter of 2022. This figure is included in “Fair value adjustments, net” on the Company’s income statement.

Rochester LCM Adjustment

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, the cost of ore on leach pads at Rochester exceeded its net realizable value which resulted in a lower of cost or market (“LCM”) adjustment of $9 million (approximately $8 million in costs applicable to sales2 and $1 million of amortization).

Operational

  • Silver and gold production in the first quarter totaled 0.7 million and 6,066 ounces, respectively, compared to 0.8 million and 6,864 ounces in the prior period and 0.8 million and 6,904 ounces in the first quarter of 2021. Lower production in the period is largely due to lower placement rates in the prior quarter
  • Tons placed increased 14% quarter-over-quarter to 4.4 million, largely related to higher crusher throughput due to improved fleet availability. Placement rates were supplemented by stacking roughly 1.5 million tons of run-of-mine material during the quarter
  • The Company plans to install pre-screens on the existing crusher corridor aimed at mitigating the impact of fine ore material and improving recoveries. The experience and knowledge gained from utilizing pre-screens is expected to be applied to new screening technology being integrated into the new crusher system flowsheet for POA 11. Preparation of the initial pre-screen foundation is underway, including concrete work. During construction, the project is expected to affect the Company’s ability to crush material for up to 30 days during the second quarter

Financial

  • First quarter adjusted CAS1 figures in the table above and highlighted below exclude the impact of an LCM adjustment totaling approximately $8 million related to the net realizable value of metal and leach pad inventory
  • First quarter adjusted CAS1 for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $22.06 and $1,720 per ounce, respectively, compared to $21.76 and $1,707 per ounce in the prior period, largely driven by increased fleet maintenance and consumable costs
  • Capital expenditures decreased 39% quarter-over-quarter to $33 million, due primarily to timing of payments related to the POA 11 expansion project
  • Free cash flow1 in the first quarter totaled $(53) million compared to $(66) million in the prior period

Exploration

  • Quarterly exploration investment decreased 4% quarter-over-quarter to approximately $3 million ($2 million expensed and $1 million capitalized)
  • Approval of an updated Plan of Operations for West Rochester (composed of Lincoln Hill, Independence Hill and Gold Ridge) was received during the quarter which will allow the Company to accelerate the exploration program in these areas. Two reverse circulation drill rigs and one core drill rig were active during the period. Infill drilling focused within the Rochester pit while expansion drilling tested the Gold Ridge target
  • Coeur plans to have up to two reverse circulation drill rigs active at Rochester during 2022 to focus on resource expansion in the Rochester and Nevada Packard pits, and infill drilling at the Lincoln Hill portion of West Rochester

Guidance

  • Full-year 2022 production is expected to be 3.0 - 4.0 million ounces of silver and 35,000 - 43,000 ounces of gold
  • CAS1 in 2022 are expected to be $20.75 - $22.75 per silver ounce and $1,490 - $1,590 per gold ounce
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be $220 - $260 million

Operational

  • Gold production in the first quarter totaled 22,646 ounces compared to 33,516 ounces in the prior period and 30,681 ounces in the first quarter of 2021
  • Lower production during the period was driven by a decrease in average gold grade quarter-over-quarter, primarily related to planned mining in lower grade areas and changes to mine sequencing due to workforce availability as a result of COVID-19

Financial

  • First quarter adjusted CAS1 totaled $1,610 per ounce compared to $1,111 per ounce in the prior period reflecting higher consumable costs and employee-related expenses
  • Capital expenditures remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter at $8 million
  • Free cash flow1 in the first quarter totaled $3 million, including cash inflow of $10 million associated with the Company’s prepayment agreement at Kensington. Excluding the effect of the prepayment, free cash flow1 totaled approximately $(7) million in the first quarter

Exploration

  • Exploration investment in the quarter totaled approximately $2 million (substantially all capitalized), compared to $3 million ($2 million expensed and $1 million capitalized) in the prior period
  • Two underground and one surface core drill rigs were active during the quarter focused on infill drilling at Elmira, Kensington Zone 30 and Jualin. As highlighted in the April 28, 2022 exploration update published by Coeur, recent drilling in Kensington Zone 30 intersected excellent grade thicknesses
  • In the second quarter of 2022, three underground drill rigs are expected to focus on infill drilling at the Elmira vein, and expansion drilling will commence at the Johnson and Jennifer veins

Guidance

  • Full-year 2022 production is expected to be 110,000 - 120,000 ounces of gold
  • CAS1 in 2022 are expected to be $1,150 - $1,250 per gold ounce
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be $27 - $34 million

Operational

  • Gold production in the first quarter totaled 17,766 ounces compared to 19,818 ounces in the prior period and 19,035 ounces in the first quarter of 2021, largely due to timing of ounces placed on the leach pads
  • Tons placed and average gold grade increased 5% and 14% quarter-over-quarter, respectively. Higher placement rates reflect favorable weather conditions and enhanced crusher performance

Financial

  • Adjusted CAS1 on a by-product basis remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter at $1,118 per ounce, largely driven by increased consumable costs offset by fleet efficiency improvements
  • Capital expenditures in the first quarter totaled $1 million compared to $4 million in the prior period, primarily related to timing of capital projects
  • Free cash flow1 remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter at $4 million, reflecting a decrease in capital expenditures offset by lower metal sales

Exploration

  • Exploration investment remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter at approximately $1 million (substantially all capitalized)
  • One reverse circulation rig was active during the quarter focusing on infill targets at the Portland Ridge - Boston claim group (located on the southern edge of the operation) and Flossie (located west of Portland Ridge) areas

Guidance

  • Full-year 2022 production is expected to be 70,000 - 80,000 ounces
  • CAS1 in 2022 are expected to be $1,225 - $1,325 per gold ounce
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be $2 - $5 million

Exploration

Coeur had 17 active rigs across all sites during the first quarter for a total investment of approximately $14 million ($5 million expensed and $8 million capitalized), compared to roughly $18 million ($14 million expensed and $4 million capitalized) in the prior period. The decrease in drilling activity was largely driven by lower planned investment across the portfolio.

One reverse circulation and two core drill rigs were active at the Crown exploration property in southern Nevada during the quarter, primarily focused on the C-Horst, Daisy and SNA deposits. Results from those targets were encouraging, supporting the Company’s expectation for resource expansion based on step-out drilling at all three sites.

Additionally, an amended permit to expand the C-Horst discovery footprint is expected to be received around mid-year. Following receipt, Coeur plans to begin testing multiple targets at the Pipeline Gulch and Tates Wash areas (both located between C-Horst and SNA) where surface geology, geochemistry and geophysics all indicate gold mineralization could exist similar to C-Horst.

2022 Guidance

Production during the first quarter was in-line with Coeur’s expectations, leading the Company to reaffirm 2022 guidance.

The scientific and technical information concerning our mineral projects in this news release have been reviewed and approved by a “qualified person” under S-K 1300, namely our Director, Technical Services, Christopher Pascoe. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources included in this news release, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors, please review the Technical Report Summaries for each of the Company’s material properties which are available at www.sec.gov.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), operating cash flow before changes in working capital and adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce (gold and silver) or pound (zinc or lead). We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce (gold and silver) and pound (zinc and lead) are important measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance. For additional explanation regarding our use of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Notes

1. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), operating cash flow before changes in working capital and adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce (gold and silver) or pound (lead and zinc) are non-GAAP measures. Please see tables in the Appendix for the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Please see table in Appendix for the calculation of consolidated free cash flow.

2. Excludes amortization.

3. Includes capital leases. Net of debt issuance costs and premium received.

4. As of March 31, 2022, Coeur had $30 million in outstanding letters of credit and $55 million in borrowings under its RCF.
