Coeur Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

Multi-Year High Financial Results Driven by Increased Production and Higher Prices;

Provides Updated Full-Year 2020 Guidance

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today reported third quarter 2020 financial results, including revenue of $229.7 million, cash flow from operating activities of $79.5 million and GAAP net income from continuing operations of $26.9 million, or $0.11 per share. On an adjusted basis¹, the Company reported EBITDA of $90.8 million, cash flow from operating activities prior to changes in working capital of $57.4 million and net income from continuing operations of $38.2 million, or $0.16 per share.

Key Highlights

• Highest quarterly financial results in nearly a decade - Revenue increased 49% and adjusted EBITDA¹ more than doubled quarter-over-quarter. Operating cash flow was eight-times higher and now totals $81.4 million through the first nine months of the year. Free cash flow¹ increased significantly to $56.5 million, leading to year-to-date positive free cash flow¹ of $19.5 million
• Strong quarter-over-quarter production growth - Gold production increased 23% to 95,995 ounces driven by improved operational performance at Palmarejo, Rochester and Wharf, while silver production of 2.6 million ounces was 58% higher largely due to positive results at Palmarejo
• Well-executed restart at Palmarejo following temporary suspension - Palmarejo generated strong operational and financial results after being temporarily suspended for approximately 45 days in the prior period due to a COVID-19-related government decree. Gold production nearly doubled while silver production was more than two-times higher quarter-over-quarter, helping to generate $49.7 million and $44.7 million in operating and free cash flow¹, respectively
• Successfully commenced construction on schedule for Rochester expansion - The Company broke ground in early August on the Plan of Operations Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) expansion project at its Rochester mine. Coeur plans to file an updated technical report in December, which will provide a detailed economic and technical overview of the expansion project
• Record quarterly results at Wharf - Wharf produced 33,440 ounces of gold, which generated $39.1 million in operating cash flow and $38.6 million free cash flow¹ during the third quarter - all new quarterly records since Coeur’s acquisition of Wharf in early 2015 for approximately $99.5 million. Cumulative operating and free cash flow¹ since acquisition now totals $256.0 million and $232.4 million, respectively
• Continued execution of the Company’s largest exploration program in its history² - Building on the success from the first half of the year, approximately 20 drill rigs continue to operate across the Company, including at the new C-Horst discovery located in the northernmost portion of the Crown Block in southern Nevada. Results indicate potential for strong resource growth at Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Silvertip and C-Horst, while infill drilling has demonstrated near-term upside potential for reserve growth at Palmarejo and Rochester
• Bolstered balance sheet and financial flexibility - The Company reduced total debt³ by $47.5 million, or 14%, quarter-over-quarter while cash and cash equivalents increased 9% to $77.1 million as of September 30, 2020

“Strong production growth and higher gold and silver prices combined to generate multi-year high financial results during the third quarter,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer. “A strong rebound from Palmarejo and a record-breaking quarter at Wharf helped showcase the benefit of our balanced portfolio of North American-based precious metals assets. Quarterly revenue was the highest in nearly a decade, adjusted EBITDA¹ more than doubled and free cash flow¹ now totals $19.5 million through the first nine months of the year after jumping to $56.5 million in the third quarter.”

Mr. Krebs continued, “We achieved a major milestone by commencing construction on schedule on the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester and look forward to sharing the results of the updated technical report in December. In addition to strong operational execution at several sites, we significantly reduced debt while increasing cash, leaving us well-positioned as we head into major construction activities at Rochester next year. With strengthening operational performance, successful execution of our near-term organic growth opportunities and a sustained commitment to our exploration investments, we remain on-track to fundamentally reposition the Company and unlock meaningful long-term value for our stockholders.”

Financial Results

Third quarter 2020 revenue increased 49% and 15% quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, respectively, to $229.7 million driven by higher production and favorable metals prices. The Company’s gold and silver production increased 23% and 58% quarter-over-quarter to 95,995 and 2.6 million ounces, respectively. Gold and silver sales totaled 95,283 and 2.6 million ounces, respectively, 22% and 60% higher than the prior period. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $1,754 and $24.15 per ounce, respectively, or 7% and 49% higher quarter-over-quarter.

Gold and silver sales accounted for 73% and 27% of third quarter revenue, respectively. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 64% of third quarter revenue, down from approximately 75% in the prior period, primarily due to the ramp-up of Palmarejo following the government-mandated temporary suspension in the prior period.

Costs applicable to sales⁴ increased 25% quarter-over-quarter to $112.8 million, largely due to the ramp-up of Palmarejo and higher production at Wharf. Third quarter general and administrative expenses decreased 9% to $7.8 million, primarily driven by lower employee-related expenses and outside service fees.

Third quarter exploration expense totaled $12.8 million, 8% higher quarter-over-quarter, reflecting a rebound in drilling activity at Palmarejo, an acceleration of Silvertip’s exploration program, and increased drilling expense at Kensington and Wharf. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.

Operating costs related to COVID-19 mitigation and response efforts totaled $4.0 million during the third quarter, compared to $6.1 million in the prior period. These additional costs are primarily driven by employee-related expenses at Palmarejo and Kensington, and are included in “Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses” on the Company’s income statement.

Coeur recorded an income tax expense of $13.1 million during the third quarter, primarily related to strong financial performance at Palmarejo. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the quarter totaled approximately $3.3 million, bringing the full-year figure to $20.1 million. The Company expects to pay approximately $30.0 to $35.0 million of cash income and mining taxes in 2020.

Quarterly operating cash flow improved to $79.5 million compared to $9.9 million in the prior period, reflecting strong revenue growth and margin expansion quarter-over-quarter. Changes in working capital during the quarter totaled $22.1 million, compared to $(6.5) million in the second quarter of 2020, largely driven by the timing of tax payments in Mexico, payables related to the ramp-up of Palmarejo and interest payments. Third quarter operating cash flow includes a cash outflow of $5.1 million associated with the Company’s prepayment agreement at Kensington. Coeur expects the remaining $9.9 million cash outflow under the arrangement to occur in the fourth quarter.

Third quarter capital expenditures were $23.0 million compared to $16.7 million in the prior period, reflecting higher investment across the Company’s operations as well as increased spending on POA 11. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of the Company’s capital expenditures during the quarter.

Liquidity Update

Coeur continued to prudently manage its balance sheet during the third quarter of 2020 by repaying $47.5 million of total debt³, including $40.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under its senior secured revolving credit facility (“RCF”). The Company intends to repay the remaining $20.0 million RCF balance by year end from internally generated cash flow. At September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $77.1 million (9% higher quarter-over-quarter), while total debt³ outstanding was $301.1 million (14% lower quarter-over-quarter).

Hedging Update

The Company did not execute any additional zero-cost collar (“ZCC”) hedges during the third quarter. Coeur’s hedging strategy remains focused on supporting cash flow generation during the POA 11 expansion at Rochester, which the Company expects to fund with a combination of cash on hand, internally generated cash flow and existing debt capacity.

Coeur completed its gold hedging program for 2021 earlier this year and will proactively monitor market conditions to potentially layer in additional ZCC hedges on up to 50% of expected gold production in 2022. The Company’s silver price exposure remains unhedged. An overview of the hedges currently implemented is outlined below:

	4Q 2020	2021	2022
Gold Ounces Hedged	55,500	158,700	126,000
Avg. Ceiling ($/oz)	$1,823	$1,875	$2,030
Avg. Floor ($/oz)	$1,471	$1,600	$1,626

Rochester Expansion

Coeur commenced construction on the POA 11 expansion project on schedule in early August 2020, advancing early-stage earthworks and establishing infrastructure at site to support construction activities. The expansion project includes the construction of a new leach pad, a crushing facility equipped with two high-pressure grinding roll (“HPGR”) units, a Merrill-Crowe process plant, and related infrastructure to support the extension of Rochester’s mine life.

Together with SNC-Lavalin, Coeur’s engineering, procurement and project management contractor, the Company has completed over 75% of detailed design for the expansion project. Major construction is expected to begin in 2021 and be largely completed by late 2022. The project remains on schedule with no changes to key elements of the timeline (highlighted below).

	Expected Start Date	Target Completion Date
Leach Pad (Incl. Ancillary Facilities)	2H 2020	Mid-2022
Merrill-Crowe Process Plant	1H 2021	YE 2022

• Third quarter gold production increased 92% to 29,296 ounces and silver production more than doubled to approximately 1.8 million ounces compared to the prior quarter

Financial

• Third quarter adjusted CAS¹ for gold on a co-product basis decreased 12% compared to the prior period to $602 per ounce, while adjusted CAS¹ for silver on a co-product basis increased 24% to $10.06 per ounce. Co-product adjusted CAS¹ for the quarter reflect the ramp-up of operations following the temporary suspension and comparatively higher silver sales
• Quarterly capital expenditures increased 11% to $5.0 million, and focused on mine development and infrastructure projects
• Free cash flow¹ in the third quarter totaled $44.7 million, compared to $(8.0) million in the prior period

Exploration

• Exploration investment during the third quarter totaled approximately $3.2 million ($2.0 million expensed and $1.2 million capitalized), compared to approximately $1.5 million ($0.9 million expensed and $0.6 million capitalized) in the prior quarter

• Coeur began the third quarter with four active rigs and ramped up to seven surface and underground core rigs during the period. A total of 18 expansion and 30 infill holes were drilled during the quarter for a total of 68,554 feet (20,895 meters)
• Exploration activity focused on infill drilling within the two mine complexes, Independencia and Guadalupe, and on resource expansion north, southwest and southeast of both mine complexes. New resource expansion holes were also drilled east, northwest and north of Independencia
• Resource expansion results continue to be encouraging, cutting multiple mineralized zones that extend south, northwest and north of Independencia. Similarly, infill drilling has been successful south and southwest of Guadalupe
• Coeur expects to continue with seven active rigs during the fourth quarter, primarily focusing on resource expansion drilling as well as infill drilling on select targets. Three expansion rigs have recently been mobilized to focus on growing mineralized material between Independencia and the mill

Other

• Workforce staffing levels gradually increased to near full capacity during September, up from approximately 85% earlier in the quarter due to government-imposed restrictions related to COVID-19. The Company is maintaining its rigorous health and safety protocols at Palmarejo aimed at limiting the exposure and transmission of COVID-19
• Approximately 38% of Palmarejo’s gold sales in the third quarter, or 10,348 ounces, were sold under its gold stream agreement at a price of $800 per ounce

Guidance

• Full-year 2020 gold production is expected to be slightly higher at 100,000 - 110,000 ounces (previously 95,000 - 105,000 ounces), while silver production is expected to be 6.0 - 7.0 million ounces (no change)

Operational

• Silver production increased modestly quarter-over-quarter to approximately 0.7 million ounces, while gold production was 25% higher and totaled 6,462 ounces
• Improved production was driven by the placement of 4.5 million tons during the quarter, a 21% increase compared to the prior period and 80% higher than the third quarter of 2019. Just over 36,500 tons per day were processed through the upgraded crushing circuit, consistent with the prior period and 142% higher year-over-year. Placement rates were supplemented by stacking roughly 1.2 million tons of run-of-mine material during the quarter
• Upset conditions in the Merrill-Crowe process plant and residual impacts of dilution from stacking HPGR-crushed material on top of historical ore on the Stage IV leach pad earlier in the year resulted in lower-than-anticipated production during the quarter
• As a result of the upset conditions, approximately 0.1 million ounces of silver and 1,250 ounces of gold were held as work-in-process inventory at the end of the third quarter and are expected to be recovered by the end of the year

• Late in the third quarter, Coeur expanded the scope of its revised stacking plan by installing additional inter-lift liners to maximize the placement of HPGR-crushed ore on shallower portions of the Stage IV leach pad

Financial

• Third quarter adjusted CAS¹ for silver on a co-product basis increased 9% quarter-over-quarter to $14.98 per ounce, while adjusted CAS¹ for gold on a co-product basis decreased 22% to $1,148 per ounce, reflecting comparatively higher costs and increased gold production
• Third quarter capital expenditures totaled $9.8 million compared to $5.8 million in the prior period, largely due to increased investment in POA 11
• Free cash flow¹ totaled $(7.7) million in the third quarter, compared to $(11.4) million in the second quarter, primarily driven by improved operating cash flow and partially offset by higher capital expenditures

Exploration

• Exploration investment for the third quarter totaled approximately $1.3 million ($0.5 million expensed and $0.9 million capitalized), compared to approximately $2.2 million ($1.8 million expensed and $0.4 million capitalized) in the prior period
• Following the success of prior drill programs, two core rigs continued directional drilling at East Rochester to test areas of potential mineralization under the Stage I and Stage II leach pads. A total of four new expansion core holes were drilled during the quarter (12 through the first nine months of 2020). The core rigs were then moved to complete geotechnical holes in the existing open pit
• One reverse circulation rig continued infill drilling within the existing open pit. A total of 15 infill holes and five expansion holes were drilled during the quarter
• Based on the results received to date, significant potential exists for additional reserve and resource growth in the existing open pit and at East Rochester. Additionally, target generation in the district highlighted priorities for future drilling north of East Rochester and East Packard as well as around the Lincoln Hill, Gold Ridge and Independence Hill zones located immediately west of Rochester

• Based on the drilling success at East Rochester, Coeur has extended the expansion program through the winter with one reverse circulation rig focused on testing the extension of the zone northwards towards the Stage IV leach pad

Other

• Mining remains an essential business in Nevada. The Company continues to maintain rigorous health and safety protocols aimed at limiting the exposure and transmission of COVID-19 at Rochester and in the surrounding communities

Guidance

• Full-year 2020 silver production is anticipated to be modestly lower at 3.1 - 3.7 million ounces (previously 3.5 - 4.5 million ounces) given greater-than-expected impacts from dilution, while gold production guidance remains consistent at 27,000 - 33,000 ounces (no change)
• Given lower expected silver production, CAS¹ for silver in 2020 are expected to be $13.50 - $14.75 per ounce (previously $12.75 - $14.00 per ounce). Comparatively higher gold production is expected to drive CAS¹ to $1,150 - $1,300 per ounce of gold (previously $1,250 - $1,400 per ounce)
• Capital expenditures are expected to remain relatively unchanged at approximately $38 - $42 million (previously $38 - $43 million)

Operational

• Gold production in the third quarter totaled 26,797 ounces compared to 33,058 ounces in the prior period, reflecting the impact of several positive COVID-19 cases isolated to the underground mining workforce. The Company conducted comprehensive testing, contact tracing and sanitization efforts, helping to mitigate the threat of further transmission across the operation

• Average gold grade decreased approximately 14% to 0.18 ounces per ton, largely due to the processing of additional development ore and surface stockpile material as a result of mine sequencing and COVID-19 contact tracing, respectively
• Jualin accounted for approximately 18% of Kensington’s third quarter production, increasing from approximately 16% in the prior quarter. For the full year, Jualin is expected to account for approximately 15-20% of Kensington’s total production

Financial

• Adjusted CAS¹ totaled $1,128 per ounce compared to $934 per ounce in the prior period, reflecting modestly higher costs and lower production
• Capital expenditures increased 36% quarter-over-quarter to $5.3 million, largely due to the completion of certain capital projects prior to the winter months
• Free cash flow¹ totaled $3.8 million during the third quarter, including cash outflow of approximately $5.1 million associated with Coeur’s prepayment agreement at Kensington. Excluding the effect of the prepayment, free cash flow¹ totaled approximately $8.9 million in the third quarter

Exploration

• Exploration investment increased 30% compared to the prior quarter to approximately $3.5 million (substantially all expensed)
• Three core rigs, two surface and one underground, were active during the quarter and focused on resource expansion drilling. A total of 52 resource expansion holes were drilled during the quarter for a total of 45,138 feet (13,758 meters)
• The surface program accelerated to two helicopter-supported rigs drilling on the upper Raven, Big Lake and upper Johnson veins, while the underground program targeted the lower and mid levels of the Elmira vein
• Significant intervals of mineralized core were observed from the surface program at the upper Raven vein as well as at the recently discovered Jennifer vein located near the Raven vein. Drilling from the uppermost 2050 drift has also generated positive visual mineralized core, specifically at the Kensington, Eureka, upper Kensington Zone 30 and Northern Belle veins
• With surface drilling now complete, the three core rigs were moved underground and are anticipated to maintain a similar pace during the fourth quarter. Exploration activities are expected to continue focusing on resource expansion drilling at the Eureka, upper Kensington Zone 30 and Johnson veins, as well as infill drilling at the Elmira vein

Other

• Mining continues to be considered an essential business in Alaska. Rotational schedules remain extended from 14 days to 28 days in response to concerns related to COVID-19. All employees are required to quarantine for 7 days and undergo viral COVID-19 testing prior to starting their 28-day rotation

Guidance

• Production in 2020 is expected to be slightly lower at 122,500 - 130,000 ounces of gold (previously 125,000 - 135,000 ounces)
• CAS¹ in 2020 are expected to remain consistent at $900 - $1,000 per ounce (no change)
• Given investments made through the first three quarters of 2020, full-year capital expenditures are anticipated to be modestly lower at $22 - $27 million ($28 - $33 million)

Operational

• Gold production increased 35% quarter-over-quarter driven by higher placement rates and improved grades over the past two quarters

Financial

• Adjusted CAS¹ on a by-product basis remained consistent quarter-over-quarter at $804 per ounce
• Third quarter capital expenditures totaled $0.5 million, modestly higher than the prior period
• Free cash flow¹ of $38.6 million was more than two-times higher quarter-over-quarter. Coeur has now generated cumulative free cash flow of more than double its original investment of approximately $99.5 million in February 2015

Exploration

• Exploration investment in the third quarter totaled approximately $0.5 million (substantially all expensed), compared to approximately $0.1 million (substantially all expensed) in the prior period. The exploration program is currently using one reverse circulation rig and has completed approximately 20,880 feet (6,364 meters) during the quarter

• Exploration activity focused on resource expansion drilling at Richmond Hill, which is located approximately four miles north-northeast of Wharf. Coeur has an exclusive option agreement with two subsidiaries of Barrick Gold Corporation to acquire the project that expires in September 2021
• Additionally, geologic mapping and geochemical sampling were successfully completed over the claims contained within Richmond Hill as well as outer zones that may be of interest to Coeur, with most assays pending

Other

• South Dakota’s public order mandating the closure of all public-facing businesses does not include Wharf. Coeur continues to follow rigorous health and safety protocols aimed at limiting the exposure and transmission of COVID-19 at Wharf and in the surrounding communities

Guidance

• Given strong operating results during the first three quarters of the year, gold production in 2020 is expected to be 85,000 - 95,000 ounces (previously 80,000 - 90,000 ounces)
• As a result of higher production, CAS¹ are expected to be $875 - $925 per ounce (previously $950 - $1,000 per ounce)
• Full-year capital expenditures are expected to remain consistent at approximately $2 - $3 million (no change)

• Mining and operating activities were temporarily suspended at Silvertip on February 19, 2020 (unrelated to COVID-19)

Operational

• The internal pre-feasibility study to evaluate a potential expansion and restart was substantially completed during the third quarter. Results from the technical analysis and test work have been positive and have largely addressed the key performance challenges experienced prior to suspension
• Based on the positive results to date, the Company has allocated an additional $6.0 million to continue with engineering work, including detailed design of a potential mill expansion to further de-risk the project and enhance the economics of a potential restart
• To strengthen confidence in the results of the pre-feasibility study, third-party technical reviews are expected to be conducted during the fourth quarter

Financial

• Temporary suspension costs related to the ramp-down of active mining and processing activities totaled $0.8 million in the third quarter compared to $1.7 million in the prior period
• Ongoing carrying costs in the third quarter totaled $3.9 million, compared to $5.2 million in the prior period. Coeur expects ongoing quarterly carrying costs to remain at similar levels during the suspension
• Capital expenditures during the third quarter increased 6% to approximately $2.1 million, reflecting additional work completed on the pre-feasibility study
• Free cash flow¹ for the quarter totaled $(10.3) million

Exploration

• Exploration investment in the third quarter totaled approximately $3.9 million (substantially all expensed), compared to approximately $2.9 million (substantially all expensed) in the prior period
• The focus throughout 2020 has been on near-mine resource expansion and larger step-out (“scout”) drilling to test the edges of the mineralized system. Results demonstrate the potential for resource growth with over two miles (3.5 kilometers) of north-south strike length, more than triple the previous resource strike length
• The Company had up to six active drill rigs during the period, ending with five rigs at quarter end. A total of 83,047 feet (25,313 meters) was drilled during the quarter in five zones, including the last phases of scout drilling, completing the initial 2020 exploration program ahead of schedule and under budget
• Results from resource expansion drilling continue to be encouraging, specifically east and south of the Discovery zone and at the new Tour Ridge and Camp Creek zones, which are located in the south and southwest extensions of the Silvertip area, respectively. Additionally, the Silvertip resource zones continue to remain open to the south as scout drilling tested the southern limits of mineralization. New core drilling at the Tour Ridge, Discovery South and Camp Creek zones have all returned significant sulfide mineralization, suggesting the ore bodies are increasing in thickness to the south
• Coeur has allocated approximately $1.0 million of additional capital for underground development in the fourth quarter to bolster exploration efforts and help facilitate follow-up drilling of encouraging results received during the first nine months of the year
• As winter approaches, the Company plans to transition its drill rigs to lower-elevation drill pads and continue its near-mine resource expansion program during the fourth quarter, ramping down to three active rigs by early November

Other

• Mining continues to be considered an essential business in British Columbia. Rotational schedules remain at 14 days (previously extended to 21 days in early 2020). The Company continues to maintain rigorous health and safety protocols at Silvertip aimed at limiting the exposure and transmission of COVID-19

Guidance

• With additional capital allocated to underground development and ongoing work to further de-risk Silvertip, capital expenditures are expected to be modestly higher at approximately $10 - $12 million (previously $8 - $10 million) in 2020

   

Exploration

During the third quarter, the Company drilled 256,882 feet (78,299 meters) at a total investment of approximately $15.2 million ($12.8 million expensed and $2.3 million capitalized), compared to 194,043 feet (59,145 meters) at a total investment of roughly $13.0 million ($11.9 million expensed and $1.1 million capitalized) in the prior period. Total feet drilled was approximately 32% and 108% higher quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the re-start of drilling activities at Palmarejo, acceleration of Silvertip’s exploration program, and additional drilling at Kensington and Wharf.

In addition to the Company’s mine sites, up to three drill rigs were active at the Crown exploration property in southern Nevada during the third quarter. The Company drilled a total of 23,465 feet (7,152 meters) in the quarter, compared to 23,680 feet (7,218 meters) in the prior period. Two reverse circulation rigs and one core rig were active during the period.

One of the reverse circulation rigs initially began at Sterling, before it was moved to Wharf to focus on expansion drilling at Richmond Hill early in the quarter, while the other rig remained at C-Horst. The core rig focused on drilling for metallurgical and engineering studies, specifically testing the C-Horst, Daisy and Secret Pass deposits. Drilling from the core rig is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter.

The drilling at C-Horst continues to look encouraging with 36 holes now completed from four permitted drill pads. An amended notice was approved in the beginning of October, providing Coeur the opportunity to drill from six additional platforms. If successful, these platforms have the potential to continue expanding mineralization at C-Horst, which remains open south and southwest of Coeur’s initial discovery.

For the remainder of the year, Coeur plans to utilize three rigs, two reverse circulation and one core, to drill within its recently received 300-acre disturbance permit at Crown as well as from the newly permitted drill platforms at C-Horst.

The Company expects to invest $50 - $60 million (previously $44 - $54 million) in exploration in 2020, including $43 - $49 million (previously $37 - $43 million) of expensed exploration and $7 - $11 million (no change) of capitalized exploration. Increased investment in exploration is largely driven by higher planned expansion drilling at Silvertip and Crown.
