Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2022 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K.

Use of Estimates

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. In January 2021, ASU No. 2021-01 was issued which broadened the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 to include certain derivative instruments. In December 2022, ASU No. 2022-06 was issued which deferred the sunset date of ASU No. 2020-04. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is in the process of reviewing key contracts to identify any contracts that reference the LIBOR and to implement adequate fallback provisions if not already implemented to mitigate the risks or impacts from the transition. No material impacts are expected to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

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

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington and Wharf mines and Silvertip exploration project. Except for the Silvertip exploration project, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining,

2029 Senior Notes

In March 2021, the Company completed an offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2029 in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for net proceeds of approximately $367.5 million (the “2029 Senior Notes”). For more details, please see Note 10 -- Debt contained in the 2022 10-K.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company exchanged $19.3 million and $67.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Senior Notes plus accrued interest for 7.6 million and 21.6 million shares of common stock, respectively. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the exchanges, the exchanges resulted in an aggregate gain of $3.7 million on debt extinguishment. The exchange transactions represent non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

Revolving Credit Facility

At September 30, 2023, the Company had $140.0 million drawn at a weighted-average interest rate of 9.2%, $29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and $220.4 million available under its $390 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”). Future borrowing may be subject to certain financial covenants. For more details, please see Note 10 -- Debt contained in the 2022 10-K.

On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “August Amendment”) to the RCF. The August Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility during the final stages of the Rochester expansion under (a) the consolidated net leverage and consolidated senior secured leverage ratios at September 30, 2023 through the March 31, 2024, with the ratios returning to the previous levels at June 30, 2024 and (b) the consolidated interest coverage ratio at June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2023 with the ratio returning to the previous level at December 31, 2023, (2) allows up to $50 million, through June 30, 2024, stepping down to $40 million in September 31, 2024, $30 million in December 31, 2024 and $15 million thereafter, for integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities and certain costs associated with LCM adjustments at Rochester to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF, (3) increases the interest rate on certain borrowings through June 30, 2024, and (4) restricts certain acquisitions through March 31, 2024.

Finance Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington for $21.6 million. The new finance lease arrangements represent non-cash investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Additionally, Coeur secured a finance lease package for nearly $60.0 million in 2021, all of which has been funded as of September 30, 2023. This package was earmarked for planned equipment for the Rochester expansion project in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and has an interest rate of 5.2%. All finance lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments. For more details, please see Note 9 -- Leases contained in the 2022 10-K.

NOTE 8 – RECLAMATION

Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates.

Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for its operating sites are as follows:

The commencement of production from the new leach pad and process plant at Rochester in the third quarter of 2023 resulted in an update to the estimated reclamation and mine closure costs. The estimated reclamation and mine closure costs was discounted using a credit adjusted, risk-free interest rate of 8.4%.

NOTE 9 - INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The following table summarizes the components of Income and mining tax (expense) benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 by significant jurisdiction:

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $6.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (40.6)%. This compares to income tax expense of $1.9 million for an effective tax rate of (3.4)% during the third quarter of 2022. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) mining taxes; (iv) foreign exchange rate; (v) the sale of non-core assets; (vi) percentage depletion; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company ultimately will be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2022 10-K.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations remains open from 2019 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2016 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next twelve months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by less than $0.1 million in the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties were not significant. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense.

NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $7.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, there was $10.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.

The following table summarizes the grants awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

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

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

In March 2022 the Company completed the sale of the La Preciosa project. The consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project included a promissory note payable to the Company that matured in March 2023 and was paid in full, and deferred cash consideration payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project. These assets were valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project also included two royalties: a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and a 2.00% gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, and contingent consideration of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (adjusted for inflation) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resources area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $50.0 million. These assets were initially measured at fair value at inception and remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration assets were $11.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, valued as of the date of closing of the transaction and were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration were valued using Monte Carlo simulation models. The model inputs included significant unobservable inputs and involve significant management judgment. The significant unobservable inputs included assumptions related to metal prices which assumed silver prices ranging from $22 to $25 per ounce and gold prices ranging from $1,700 to $1,930 per ounce as well as volatility assumptions for silver and gold prices (33.5% and 19.0%, respectively), and an assumed weighted average cost of capital of 15.5%. Such instruments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In May 2023, the Company sold the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration for cash consideration of $7.0 million and deferred consideration of $1.0 million payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project resulting in a loss on the sale of $12.3 million, which was recognized in Other, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The deferred cash consideration was measured at a fair value of $0.8 million at inception and will be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. It was valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The consideration for the sale of Sterling/Crown exploration properties included the right to an additional payment of $50.0 million should the Buyer, its affiliates or its successors, report gold resources in the Sterling/Crown exploration properties (including any in-situ ounces mined after the closing of the Transaction) equal to or greater than 3,500,000 gold ounces, subject to certain additional terms and conditions detailed in the stock purchase agreement. The fair value of the contingent consideration asset of $13.0 million valued as of the date of closing of the transaction was valued using a discounted cash flow model and is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The model inputs include significant unobservable inputs, involve significant management judgment and is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs included managements assumption related to the probability (75%) and timing (ranging from 5 years to 30 years) of achieving reported gold resources equal to or greater than 3,500,000 gold ounces and a discount rate of 8.1%.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. Derivative gains and losses are included in operating cash flows in the period in which they contractually settle. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices, particularly during times of elevated capital expenditures, the Company enters into forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly and if the actual price of gold or silver at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed price, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:


In thousands except average prices and notional ounces	2023		2024 and Thereafter
Gold forwards
Average gold fixed price per ounce	$	1,977	$	—
Notional ounces	55,749		—
Silver forwards
Average silver fixed price per ounce	$	25.47	$	—
Notional ounces	1,245,000		—

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

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

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $11.7 million of net after-tax gains in AOCI related to gains from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $11.7 million of net after-tax gains is expected to be recognized in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the price of gold and silver for metal contracts.

The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:

In thousands	Prepaid expenses and other		Other assets		Accrued liabilities and other

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Provisional Metal Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.

Zero Cost Collars

To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements. The contracts were net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration was between the put and call prices, it would expire at no cost to the Company. If the price of gold at the time of expiration was lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company voluntarily de-designated hedge accounting for the zero cost collars and subsequently terminated the arrangements. The cost to terminate the zero cost collars was $7.7 million, of which $3.1 million was recognized in earnings and the remaining $4.6 million, which represents the fair value of the zero cost collars on the date of de-designation, was retained in AOCI and was recognized in earnings in 2022 as the forecasted transactions occurred.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows:


In thousands except average prices and notional ounces	2023		2024 and Thereafter
Provisional gold sales contracts	$	26,551	$	—

Credit Risk

The credit risk exposure related to any derivative instrument is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties.

NOTE 14 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were 1,090,981 and 1,641,510 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. Similarly, 3,719,764 and 2,013,571 common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

On September 13, 2023, the Company completed a $50.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “September 2023 Equity Offering”). The September 2023 Equity Offering was conducted pursuant to an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, entered into on August 10, 2023 between the Company and BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as sales agents. The Company sold a total of 21,699,856 shares of its common stock in the September 2023 Equity Offering at an average price of $2.30 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $49.3 million. Proceeds from the September 2023 Equity Offering were used to reduce outstanding amounts under the RCF and for general corporate purposes.

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain Canadian accredited investors (the “Investors”) for a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Offering”) of an aggregate of 5,276,154 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be issued as “flow-through shares,” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), which closed on June 27, 2023. The Company granted an over-allotment option of up to 3,000,000 additional flow-through shares, which was exercised in full and closed on July 20, 2023. The proceeds of the Private Placement Offering will be used by the Company for certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The initial Private Placement Offering raised net proceeds of $18.2 million, of which $5.1 million represents net proceeds received in excess of the Company’s trading price (“FT Premium Liability”). The FT Premium Liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will decrease in subsequent periods as certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” are incurred. The over-allotment raised net proceeds of $10.5 million, including an additional $2.7 million of FT Premium Liability.

The FT Shares were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered and sold outside the United States to accredited investors in reliance on Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act.

On March 17, 2023, the Company completed a $100.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “March 2023 Equity Offering”).

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mexico Litigation Matters

As of September 30, 2023, $29.4 million in principal is due from the Mexican government associated with amounts that were paid as VAT under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received refunds in the normal course of these amounts paid as VAT associated with the royalty payments; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying refunds of these amounts based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana began to request refunds of these amounts paid as VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover these amounts from the Mexican government (including through litigation and potential arbitration as well as refiling refund requests as undue payments rather than refunds of VAT that was due). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation of the matter continued at the Mexican administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels for several years, most of which was determined unfavorably to Coeur based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are contrary to legal precedent, conflicting and erroneous. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the receivable and intends to rigorously continue its recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the receivable and unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the receivable at September 30, 2021. Coeur has elected to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, to resolve the matter. Outcomes in NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Palmarejo Gold Stream

Coeur Mexicana sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from certain properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. In 2016, Coeur Mexicana received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although Coeur Mexicana has satisfied its contractual obligation to repay the deposit to Franco-Nevada, the deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized as revenue on a units-of-production basis as ounces are sold to Franco-Nevada. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered a financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The stream agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. The remaining unamortized balance is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K for additional detail.

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

Metal Sales Prepayments

In June 2019, Coeur amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments. In December 2022, the Company received a $25.0 million prepayment, all of which was recognized as revenue in the first half of 2023. In June 2023, the Company exercised an option to receive a further $25.0 million prepayment, a portion of which was recognized in revenue in the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, in June 2023, the Company entered into sales and purchase contracts with a metal sales counterparty to allow for a $10.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold concentrate from its Wharf mine and a $10.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold and silver doré from its Rochester mine, all of which were recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2023. In September 2023, the contracts related to Wharf and Rochester were amended to increase the maximum amount available in prepayments to $12.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively, which were received.

The metal sales prepayments represent a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold and silver ounce delivered to the customer. The remaining contract liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K for additional detail.

Rochester Expansion Project Update

Construction of the new three-stage crushing circuit is now complete and first production from the new leach pad and process plant began in mid-September. Commissioning of the process plant is complete and commissioning of the new crusher corridor is underway, with ramp-up expected throughout the remainder of 2023 and into the first half of 2024.

Once operating at full capacity, throughput levels are expected to average 32 million tons per year, which is approximately 2.5 times higher than historical levels, making Rochester one of the largest open pit heap leach operations in the world. The total estimated capital for the project remains at $710 - $730 million.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold and silver hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had surety bonds totaling $332.3 million and $326.8 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and, from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash or letters of credit which reduce availability under its revolving credit facility, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

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

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

Overview

We are primarily a gold and silver producer with operating assets located in the United States and Mexico and an exploration project in Canada.

Third Quarter Highlights

For the quarter, Coeur reported revenue of $194.6 million and cash used in operating activities of $2.4 million. We reported GAAP net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $30.6 million and net loss of $18.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Coeur reported revenue of $559.1 million and cash provided by operating activities of $2.0 million. We reported GAAP net loss of $78.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $78.0 million and net loss of $71.8 million or $0.22 per diluted share.

•Increased revenue and adjusted EBITDA driven by stronger gold production and lower costs – Revenue increased 10% and adjusted EBITDA increased 38% quarter-over-quarter, due to a 15% quarter-over-quarter increase in gold production and a 13% quarter-over-quarter decline in adjusted costs applicable to sales per gold ounce

•Rochester expansion project now complete – First production from the new leach pad and process plant was achieved in mid-September. The legacy crushing circuit is now being decommissioned in preparation of mining expected to begin in that location in 2024

•Material step-up in Rochester production now occurring – During the month of October, Rochester recovered 537,000 ounces of silver and 8,050 ounces of gold, which is more than double the year-to-date monthly average silver production and more than triple the year-to-date monthly average gold production

•Gold production and cost guidance updated; silver guidance remains unchanged – A stronger anticipated fourth quarter at Wharf is expected to offset adjusted gold production guidance at Kensington. The low end of total 2024 production guidance remains unchanged and the overall range has narrowed to 304,000 - 342,500 ounces. Additionally, Kensington cost guidance has been revised to reflect the impact of revised production expectations. Silver full-year production guidance of 10 - 12 million ounces remains unchanged

•Balance sheet and hedging initiatives supporting remaining capital requirements – With elevated capital investment levels related to the recently completed Rochester expansion expected through year-end, Coeur ended the quarter with total liquidity of approximately $280 million. Realized and unrealized gains from the Company’s 2023 gold and silver hedges total nearly $20 million at quarter-end, providing meaningful downside protection through this period of capital intensity

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Revenue

We sold 78,015 gold ounces and 2.2 million silver ounces, compared to 67,090 gold ounces and 2.3 million silver ounces. Revenue increased by $17.3 million, or 10%, as a result of a 16% increase gold ounces sold and a 4% increase in average realized silver prices, partially offset by a 5% decrease in silver ounces sold and a 1% decrease in average realized gold prices. The increase in gold ounces sold was primarily due to higher mill throughput at Palmarejo and Kensington, higher grades at Kensington, partially offset by the timing of production from Rochester’s new leach pad related to startup of the new process plant and timing of recoveries at Wharf. The decrease in silver ounces sold was primarily due to lower silver grades at Palmarejo and the timing of production on the new leach pad related to startup of the new process plant. Gold and silver represented 72% and 28% of third quarter 2023 sales revenue, respectively, compared to 68% and 32% of second quarter 2023 sales revenue, respectively.

The following table summarizes consolidated metal sales:


	Three Months Ended		Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Change
In thousands	September 30, 2023				June 30, 2023
Gold sales	$	139,503	$	121,355		$	18,148	15	%

Metal sales	$	194,583	$	177,235		$	17,348	10	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased $8.3 million, or 6%, primarily due to higher gold ounces sold and a higher net realizable value (“LCM”) adjustments at Rochester. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization increased $3.3 million, or 17% primarily due to an increase in gold ounces sold and the commencement of production of the new leach pad in mid-September 2023 at Rochester.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower employee incentive related costs.

Exploration expense increased $9.5 million, or 326%, driven by accelerated drilling activity at Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 14%, stemming from lower ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip.

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

Pre-development, reclamation and other expense	$	8,680	$	10,048		$	(1,368)	(14)	%

Other Income and Expenses

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a $0.8 million gain in connection with the exchange of $19.3 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of 2029 Senior Notes for 7.6 million shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a $3.0 million gain in connection with the exchange of $48.5 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of 2029 Senior Notes for 13.9 million shares of common stock.

Fair value adjustments, net, decreased to a loss of $2.0 million compared to $3.9 million as a result of an increase in value of the Company’s equity investments. For additional details on the Company’s equity investments see Note 6 -- Investments.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $4.1 million) increased to $7.4 million from $6.9 million due to higher interest paid under the RCF as a result of increasing interest rates, partially offset by higher capitalized interest, and lower interest payable following the extinguishment of $67.8 million in 2029 Senior Notes.

Other, net decreased to a gain of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $9.9 million as a result of the $12.3 million loss recognized from the sale of La Preciosa Deferred Consideration in the second quarter of 2023.

Income and Mining Taxes

Income and mining tax expense of approximately $6.1 million resulted in an effective tax rate of (40.6)% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This compares to income tax expense of $9.9 million for an effective tax rate of (43.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) mining taxes; (iv) foreign exchange rate; (v) the sale of non-core assets; (vi) percentage depletion; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will ultimately be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see “Item 1A - Risk Factors”.

Net Loss

Net loss was $21.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $32.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. The decrease in net loss was driven by a 16% increase gold ounces sold, a 4% increase in average realized silver prices, favorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments, and a $12.3 million loss on the sale of the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration recognized in the second quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by a 5% decrease in silver ounces sold, a 1% decrease in average realized gold prices, a higher LCM adjustment at Rochester, and higher exploration costs. Adjusted net loss was $18.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $20.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue

We sold 215,971 gold ounces and 7.1 million silver ounces, compared to 241,779 gold ounces and 7.3 million silver ounces. Revenue decreased by $16.4 million, or 3%, as a result of a 11% and 2% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, partially offset by a 5% and 9% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively. The decrease in gold ounces sold was primarily due to lower mill throughput at Palmarejo and Kensington, lower grades and recoveries at Kensington, and the timing of production from Rochester’s new leach pad related to startup of the new process plant, partially offset by higher grades at Wharf. The decrease in silver ounces sold was primarily due to lower mill throughput at Palmarejo, partially offset by the timing of recoveries and higher grades at Rochester. Gold and silver represented 69% and 31% of 2023 sales revenue, respectively, compared to gold and silver representing 72% and 28% of 2022 sales revenue, respectively.

Metal sales	$	559,116	$	575,520		$	(16,404)	(3)	%

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales decreased $6.5 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold and lower LCM adjustments at Rochester. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $18.4 million primarily due to lower gold and silver ounces sold and longer assumed mine lives at Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington and Wharf driven by prior year’s successful investments in exploration.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher employee incentive related costs and corporate administrative costs.

Exploration expense increased $0.9 million, or 5%, driven by accelerated drilling activity at Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip, partially offset by the Canadian mining exploration tax credits associated with expenditures at the Silvertip exploration project recognized in the second quarter of 2023.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, stemming from lower ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip and lower costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, partially offset by higher asset retirement accretion.

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

Other Income and Expenses

During the first nine months of 2023, the Company incurred a $3.7 million gain in connection with the exchange of $67.8 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of 2029 Senior Notes for 21.6 million shares of common stock.

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $4.6 million compared to a loss $65.3 million loss as a result of an increase in value of the Company’s equity investments. For additional details on the Company’s equity investments see Note 6 -- Investments.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $9.4 million) increased to $21.7 million from $15.7 million due to higher interest paid under the RCF attributable to higher average debt levels and interest rates, partially offset by lower interest payable following the extinguishment of $67.8 million in 2029 Senior Notes.

Other, net decreased to a loss of $10.4 million compared to a gain of $2.2 million, as a result of the $12.3 million loss recognized from the sale of the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the nine months of 2023, income and mining tax expense of approximately $26.7 million resulted in an effective tax rate of (51.9)% for 2023. This compares to income tax expense of $15.1 million for an effective tax rate of (13.4)% for 2022. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) the sale of non-core assets; (iv) mining taxes; (v) foreign exchange rates; (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions; (vii) percentage depletion; and (viii) the non-recognition of tax assets. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

Net Loss

Net loss was $78.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $127.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. The decrease in net loss was driven by a 5% and 9% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, decreased LCM adjustments at Rochester, favorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments, and a $3.7 million gain in connection with the exchange of 2029 Senior Notes. This was partially offset by a 11% and 2% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, higher losses on the sale of assets, interest expense and income and mining taxes. Adjusted net loss was $71.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $71.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

2023 Guidance

The Company has made the following changes to its 2023 gold production and cost guidance: (i) the low end of Wharf’s gold production guidance has been revised upward; and (ii) Kensington’s 2023 gold production and cost guidance have been refined to reflect the cumulative impact of paste backfill challenges at Kensington earlier in the year.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Gold and silver production increased 16% and decreased 1%, respectively, as a result of 6% increase mill throughput, higher gold and silver recoveries, and 2% and 10% lower gold and silver grades, respectively. Metal sales were $77.3 million, or 40% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $72.7 million, or 41% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue increased by $4.6 million or 6%, of which $5.0 million was due to a higher gold production, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million due to lower gold prices. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased 10% and per silver ounce increased 3%, due to the mix of gold and silver sales and a strengthening Mexican Peso. Amortization of $9.0 million was in-line with prior quarter. Capital expenditures decreased to $10.8 million from $11.9 million due to lower expenditures related to the open pit backfill project and underground development.

Silvertip

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip totaled $13.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $15.5 million in 2022. Capital expenditures in 2023 totaled $1.4 million compared to $21.4 million in the prior year due to planned reduction in capital development expenditures.

Since acquisition, exploration at Silvertip has been consistently successful, with demonstrated resource growth. Multiple new zones have been discovered, resulting in significant increases in resources. In addition, the full geochemical and metal zonation of the deposit is being studied including the critical minerals indium, germanium and gallium that are present in the ore body. The Company anticipates a slower overall timeline to advance the Silvertip project, with the primary focus on growth and achieving a better understanding of the overall deposit. Consistent with Silvertip’s status as a long-term exploration project, the Company reclassified its mineral reserves to measured and indicated resources as of year-end 2022.

Coeur focused on compiling, analyzing and interpreting historical data during the first nine months of the year to increase the understanding of the geological context and mineralization system. Significant work on logging, data collection, analysis and interpretation is ongoing as part of this effort. A new detailed geological model will be compiled to support year-end resource calculations at the end of 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2023, the Company had $54.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $220.4 million available under the RCF. Future borrowing under the RCF may be subject to certain financial covenants. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to 11% and 2% decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, respectively, $271.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to the Rochester expansion project and higher costs at our operations due to continued inflationary pressures, partially offset by aggregate net proceeds of $147.7 million from the sale of 54.6 million shares of its common stock in the March 2023 Equity Offering and September 2023 Equity Offering, $39.8 million received from the sale of 6.0 million shares of common stock of Victoria Gold (“Victoria Gold Common Shares”), and net proceeds of $28.7 million from the sale of 8.3 million shares of its common stock in the Private Placement Offering (as defined below). Additionally, the Company received net proceeds of $7.0 million from the sale of the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration, $5.0 million received from the Avino note receivable, net proceeds of $1.8 million from the sale of common stock of Integra Resources Corporation, and a 5% and 9% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had $140.0 million drawn, $29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and $220.4 million available under the RCF. On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “August Amendment”) to the RCF. The August Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility during the final stages of the Rochester expansion under (a) the consolidated net leverage and consolidated senior secured leverage ratios at September 30, 2023 through the March 31, 2024, with the ratios returning to the previous levels at June 30, 2024 and (b) the consolidated interest coverage ratio at June 30 through September 30, 2023, with the ratio returning to the previous level at December 31, 2023, (2) allows up to $50 million, through June 30, 2024, stepping down to $40 million in September 31, 2024, $30 million in December 31, 2024 and $15 million thereafter, for integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities and certain costs associated with LCM adjustments at Rochester to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF, (3) increases the interest rate on certain borrowings through June 30, 2024, and (4) restricts certain acquisitions through March 31, 2024.

In January 2023, the Company completed the sale of 6.0 million Victoria Gold Common Shares at a price of $6.70 per Victoria Gold Common Share, for net proceeds of $39.8 million. At September 30, 2023, the Company held $7.2 million of equity securities.

In May 2023, the Company sold 3.7 million shares of common stock of Integra Resources Corporation (“Integra Common Shares”) at a price of $0.48 per share, for net proceeds of $1.8 million.

In March 2023, the Company completed a $100.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “March 2023 Equity Offering”). The Company sold a total of 32,861,580 shares of common stock in the March 2023 Equity Offering at an average price of $3.04 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $98.4 million.

In June 2023, the Company sold a total of 5,276,154 shares of its common stock (“Private Placement Offering”) issued as “flow-through shares” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), raising net proceeds of $18.2 million, of which $5.1 million represents net proceeds received in excess of the Company’s average price (“FT Premium Liability”). The proceeds of the issuance of FT Shares will be used by the Company for certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The Company granted an over-allotment option of up to 3,000,000 additional flow-through shares, which was exercised in full and closed on July 20, 2023. The over-allotment option raised net proceeds of $10.5 million, including an additional $2.7 million of FT Premium Liability.

In September 2023, the Company completed a $50.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “September 2023 Equity Offering”). The Company sold a total of 21,699,856 shares of its common stock in the September 2023 Equity Offering at an average price of $2.30 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $49.3 million.

The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 55,749 ounces of gold and 1.2 million ounces of silver at September 30, 2023 that settle monthly through December 2023. The Company is targeting to hedge up to 70% of expected gold production and 50% of expected silver production for 2023 in order to protect cash flow during a period of elevated capital expenditures and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $1,977 per ounce of gold and $25.47 per ounce of silver.

In the first nine months of 2023, the Company exchanged $67.8 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of 2029 Senior Notes for 21.6 million shares of common stock.

We currently believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next twelve months and longer-term. We expect to use a combination of cash provided by operating activities under-pinned by our gold and silver hedging programs, additional equity financing, and borrowings under our RCF depending on future commodity prices to fund near term capital requirements, including those described in this report for the Rochester expansion project and in our 2023 capital expenditure guidance. Our longer-term plans contemplate the expansion and restart of Silvertip, as well as the continued exploration to extend mine lives at all of our operating sites.

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

If and to the extent liquidity resources are insufficient to support short- and long-term expenditures, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities, among other financing options, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company, as discussed in more detail under Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2022 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Report.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.4 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $39.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.0 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $30.6 million, compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $78.0 million, compared to $103.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”). Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following key factors for the applicable periods:

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in this Report for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Other Liquidity Matters

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources in the U.S. are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities. The Company has asserted indefinite reinvestment of earnings from its Mexican operations as determined by management’s judgment about and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. The Company does not believe that the amounts reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

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

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2023, tax effect of adjustments of $0.2 million (-8%) is primarily related to fair value adjustments on the Company’s equity investments, and LCM adjustment recorded at Rochester. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, tax effect of adjustments of $1.1 million (-9%) is primarily related to fair value adjustments on the Company’s equity investments, loss on the sale of the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration and LCM adjustment recorded at Rochester.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, tax effect of adjustments of $1.4 million (-25%) is primarily related to the fair value adjustments on the Company’s equity investments, loss on the sale of the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration and LCM adjustment recorded at Rochester. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, tax effect of adjustments of $9.7 million (-15%) is primarily related to the to the fair value adjustments on the Company’s equity investments and the derecognition of deferred tax liabilities related to the sale of La Preciosa.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company believes the use of EBITDA reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used in the indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes and the RCF to determine our ability to make certain payments and incur additional indebtedness. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Net income (Loss) or Cash Flow from Operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and those calculations may not be comparable to our presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:

Free Cash Flow

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

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

Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital

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

Costs Applicable to Sales

Management uses CAS to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and life of mine performance from discovery through reclamation. We believe these measures assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing gold and silver, assessing our operating performance and ability to generate free cash flow from operations and sustaining production. These measures may not be indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Management believes that allocating CAS to gold and silver based on gold and silver metal sales relative to total metal sales best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit, converting to silver equivalent ounces, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations and engages in risk management strategies to mitigate these risks. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 12 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements”. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 of this Report - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.

Gold and Silver Prices

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

Decreases in the market price of gold and silver can also significantly affect the value of our metal inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact our carrying value of long-lived assets.

Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and metal inventory adjustments at September 30, 2023 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,928 and $1,816 per ounce, respectively, and a short-term and long-term silver price of $23.57 and $23.25 per ounce, respectively.

The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Hedging

To mitigate the risks associated with metal price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 55,749 and 1.2 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, at September 30, 2023 that settle monthly through December 2023. The Company is targeting to hedge up to 70% of expected gold production and 50% of expected silver production for 2023 in order to protect cash flow during a period of elevated capital expenditures, and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $1,977 per ounce of gold and $25.47 per ounce of silver. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the spot price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The forward contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price is below the spot price of a commodity, and (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2022 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this Report.

At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the gold and silver forward contracts was an asset of $7.4 million and $4.2 million for the gold and silver forward contracts, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain $3.6 million and $4.2 million related to expired gold and silver contracts, respectively, in Revenue and the remaining outstanding gold and silver forward contracts were included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A 10% increase and decrease in the price of gold at September 30, 2023 would result in a net realized loss and gain of $7.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively. A 10% increase and decrease in the price of silver at September 30, 2023 would result in a net realized loss and gain of $0.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The September 30, 2023 closing price of gold and silver was $1,871 and $23.08 per ounce, respectively. As of November 7, 2023, the closing price of gold and silver was $1,961 and $22.54, per ounce respectively.

Provisional Metal Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. Depending on the difference between the price at the time of sale and the final settlement price, embedded derivatives are recorded as either a derivative asset or liability. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, are marked to the market gold and silver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 13,828 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,920. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $0.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.7 million.

Foreign Currency

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

Foreign Exchange Hedging

To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts. In 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts at September 30, 2023.

Interest Rates

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company may use financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on loans, which exposes it to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. The Company seeks to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what it believes are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps at September 30, 2023.

Investment Risk

Equity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $2.0 million in Fair value adjustments, net due to increases in the stock price of those equity securities. At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the equity securities was $7.2 million. A 10% change in realized equity prices would result in an unrealized gain or loss of $0.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A -- Risk Factors of the 2022 10-K sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. Those risk factors have been supplemented and updated in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q1 2023 10-Q”), in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Q2 2023 10-Q”) and in this Form 10-Q. Except as supplemented and updated in the Q1 2023 10-Q, the Q2 2023 10-Q and below, the risk factors set forth in the 2022 10-K remain current. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not presently know or that it currently deems immaterial also may impair our business operations.

The Company may be affected by global supply chain disruptions.

The Company may face supply chain disruptions as a result of matters outside of the Company’s control or ability to mitigate, such as natural disasters, transportation disruptions, economic instability, geopolitical unrest, civil or international hostilities and global pandemics, among others. Recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in losses of life, displacement of people, and political and economic disruptions on a global scale. There may be unforeseen impacts from these events globally on commodity prices, liquidity and credit or supply chains, and the Company continues to monitor them closely.

Compliance with environmental regulations and litigation based on environmental regulations could require significant expenditures.

Environmental regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards, land development and land reclamation, and set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation and environmental justice provisions are evolving in a manner that may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for mining companies and their officers, directors and employees. We may incur environmental costs that could have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations. Any failure to remedy an environmental problem could require us to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The environmental standards that ultimately may be imposed at a mine site affect the cost of remediation and could exceed the financial accruals that we have made for such remediation. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, governmental authorities and private parties may bring lawsuits based upon damage to property and injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health and safety impacts of prior and current operations, including operations conducted by other mining companies many years ago at sites located on properties that we currently or previously owned. These lawsuits could lead to the imposition of substantial fines, remediation costs, penalties and other civil and criminal sanctions. Substantial costs and liabilities, including for restoring the environment after the closure of mines, are inherent in our operations. We cannot assure that any such law, regulation, enforcement or private claim would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Some of the mining waste from our U.S. mines currently are exempt to a limited extent from the extensive set of EPA regulations governing hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). If the EPA were to repeal this exemption and designate these mining wastes as hazardous under RCRA, we would be required to make significant expenditures to manage the waste and to construct hazardous waste storage or disposal facilities. Under the Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 (“MEBA”), incidental elemental mercury generated at our Rochester mine as part of the processing of ore may not be exported outside of the United States and is required to be stored in a facility capable for long-term mercury management designated by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). The DOE is undergoing processes to designate such a facility and to establish storage and handling fees, which is not yet final. The outcome could result in material cost being incurred to ship and store Coeur Rochester's mercury. In addition, if any of these wastes causes contamination in or damage to the environment at a U.S. mining facility, that facility could be designated as a “Superfund” site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Under CERCLA, any present owner or operator of a Superfund site or the owner or operator at the time of contamination may be held jointly and severally liable regardless of fault and may be forced to undertake extensive remedial cleanup action or to pay for the cleanup efforts. The owner or operator also may be liable to

federal, state and tribal/indigenous governmental entities for the cost of damages to natural resources, which could be substantial. Additional regulations or requirements also are imposed on our tailings and waste disposal areas in Alaska under the federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”), in Nevada under the Nevada Water Pollution Control Law which implements the CWA, in South Dakota under the South Dakota Water Pollution Control Act and the Administrative Rules of the State of South Dakota, in British Columbia (Canada) under the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia, the British Columbia Environmental Management Act and the Canadian Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations, and in Mexico under the General Law of Ecological Balance and Protection of the Environment (the "GLEBPE") and the regulations under the GLEBPE related to environmental protection in impact assessment matters.

Airborne emissions are subject to controls under air pollution statutes implementing the Clean Air Act in the U.S. and are regulated under the Environmental Management Act in British Columbia (Canada) and the GLEBPE and the regulations under GLEBPE related to prevention and control of the pollution of the atmosphere in Mexico. In addition, there are numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives related to climate change, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, or energy policy and adoption of these initiatives through legislative actions or administrative policy could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and cash flows. However, we are unable to predict the scope, nature and timing of any new or increased environmental laws and regulations and therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on our business or financial results. We continue to monitor existing and proposed laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate any unfavorable impact of such laws or regulations.

In addition, U.S. environmental conservation efforts could result in the withdrawal of certain federal lands from mineral entry under relevant mining law, which could have the effect of restricting our current or future planned activities involving our unpatented mining claims on the affected public lands.
