Coeur Mining Reports Higher Production At All Operations

CHICAGO, IL - Mitchell J. Krebs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur Mining, Inc., said, “Our strong third quarter operational and financial results signal the beginning of what we expect to be a new chapter of consistent free cash flow for Coeur. Although higher prices helped magnify our robust results, the team’s continued focus on operational excellence drove costs down, leading to significantly higher margins. Rochester Mine in Nevada continues to gather steam during the second half and remains on-track to deliver a step-change in production and cash flow during the remainder of the year and be well-positioned to deliver a record breaking 2025.

Furthermore, the recently announced acquisition of SilverCrest in British Columbia, and its high-grade, low-cost Las Chispas operation, located in Mexico, coupled with Rochester’s post-expansion profile, positions Coeur as a leading silver company in terms of production, market capitalization and liquidity, balance sheet flexibility, and cash flow profile at a time when silver’s outlook continues to strengthen.”

Coeur had strong production increases and lower costs across the portfolio – Higher production at all four operations drove a 21% increase in gold production and 15% increase in silver production, totaling 94,993 and 3.0 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce both declined 12% compared to the prior quarter, leading to margins more than double the prior period. Based on strong year-to-date production and cost performance, the Company reaffirmed its full-year guidance ranges. In turn this created robust quarterly financial performance driven by higher production and metals prices – Revenue of $313 million and adjusted EBITDA of $126 million increased 41% and 140% quarter-over-quarter, respectively. Operating cash flow totaled $111 million and free cash flow reached $69 million during the quarter, thehighest levels in over a decade. Net income was $49 million and Adjusted EBITDA over the last twelve months (LTM) increased 2.5x to $287 million compared to a year ago

Rochester remains on-track to achieve year-end throughput and production guidance – The recently expanded Rochester silver and gold operation placed approximately 7.1 million tons under leach during the quarter leading to production of 1.2 million ounces of silver and 9,690 ounces of gold, representing quarter-over-quarter increases of 19% and 21%, respectively. The Company has reaffirmed full-year Rochester production guidance ranges and expects approximately 7.0 - 8.0 million tons to be placed under leach in the fourth quarter.

The acquisition of SilverCrest is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to materially enhance the Company’s cost and cash flow profile and immediately accelerate the Company’s balance sheet de-leveraging initiative.

Third quarter 2024 revenue totaled $313 million compared to $222 million in the prior period and $195 million in the third quarter of 2023. The Company produced 94,993 and 3.0 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales for the quarter totaled 96,913 ounces of gold and 3.0 million ounces of silver. Gold and silver sales represented 71% and 29% of quarterly revenue, respectively, compared to 69% and 31% in the prior period. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 65% of third quarter revenue compared to 63% in the second quarter of 2024.
