Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 59 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Coeur Mining, Inc. Opinion on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coeur Mining, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 16, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion. Basis for opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical audit matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Ore on Leach Pads – Rochester mine As described further in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements , the Company’s ore on leach pads balance of $154 million which includes the Rochester mine for a total of $130 million at December 31, 2021. This is a current balance of $58 million and a non-current balance of $72 million. The measurement and valuation of the ore on leach pads balance involves significant management estimates and assumptions related to the measure of metal content of ore placed on the leach pads, including recovery rates and ore grades. The balance is determined based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pads, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process. The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within twelve months is classified as current on the balance sheet. We identified the measurement and valuation for the ore on leach pads for the Rochester mine as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination that Rochester’s ore on leach pads is a critical audit matter are that certain management assumption are complex and have a higher degree of estimation uncertainty that changes in these assumptions 60 could have a significant impact on the balance. In turn, auditing Rochester’s ore on leach pads requires significant auditor judgement. Our audit procedures related to Rochester’s ore on leach pads included the following, among others. • We obtained and tested Rochester’s 2021 roll forward of the estimated ounces and costs added to, recovered from, and the resulting ending amounts of ounces and costs of the ore on leach pads balance, including testing of certain assumptions, such as recovery rates and ore grades. • For the roll forward of estimated ounces, we assessed the completeness and accuracy of mining production information, including tests of daily tonnage processed. • We evaluated management’s laboratory procedures related to assay testing used to estimate ore grade. • We evaluated the Company’s use of specialists and their qualifications and experience related to their input on the recovery rates, including the updated recovery rates, and ore grades estimates used by management in its calculation of ore on leach pads. • We assessed the estimated timing of recoveries, which management uses in classifying current and non-current portions of the ore on leach pads balance. • We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over mining production information, estimating the recovery rates, ore grades, and inventory roll forward related to recording Rochester’s balance of ore on leach pads. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016. Chicago, Illinois February 16, 2022 61 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Coeur Mining, Inc. Opinion on internal control over financial reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Coeur Mining, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and our report dated February 16, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP Chicago, Illinois February 16, 2022 62 COEUR MINING, INC.

(“Coeur” or the “Company”) is primarily a gold and silver producer with assets in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Coeur was incorporated as an Idaho corporation in 1928 under the name Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation and on May 16, 2013, changed its state of incorporation from the State of Idaho to the State of Delaware and changed its name to Coeur Mining, Inc. Coeur’s corporate headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Risks and uncertainties As a mining company, the revenue, profitability and future rate of growth of the Company are substantially dependent on the prevailing prices for gold, silver, zinc and lead. The prices of these metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation, speculation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding precious metals stockpiles, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. Further, the carrying value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, net; mining properties, net; inventories and ore on leach pads are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. Use of Estimates The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The preparation of the Company's 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 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. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the most significant of which are Coeur Mexicana S.A. de C.V., Coeur Rochester, Inc., Coeur Alaska, Inc., Wharf Resources (U.S.A.), Inc., and Coeur Silvertip Holdings Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company minimizes its credit risk by investing its cash and cash equivalents with major U.S. and international banks and financial institutions located principally in the United States with a minimum credit rating of A1, as defined by Standard & Poor’s. The Company’s management believes that no concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the investment of its cash and cash equivalents. At certain times, amounts on deposit may exceed federal deposit insurance limits. Receivables Trade receivables and other receivable balances are reported at outstanding principal amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary. Management evaluates the collectability of receivable account balances to determine the allowance, if any. Management considers the other party's credit risk and financial condition, as well as current and projected economic and market conditions, in determining the amount of the allowance. Receivable balances are written off when management determines that the balance is uncollectible. Ore on Leach Pads The heap leach process extracts silver and gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applying a diluted cyanide solution that dissolves a portion of the contained silver and gold, which are then recovered in metallurgical processes. 67 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company uses several integrated steps to scientifically measure the metal content of ore placed on the leach pads. As the ore body is drilled in preparation for the blasting process, samples are taken of the drill residue which are assayed to determine estimated quantities of contained metal. The Company then processes the ore through crushing facilities where the output is again weighed and sampled for assaying. A metallurgical reconciliation with the data collected from the mining operation is completed with appropriate adjustments made to previous estimates. The crushed ore is then transported to the leach pad for application of the leaching solution. As the leach solution is collected from the leach pads, it is continuously sampled for assaying. The quantity of leach solution is measured by flow meters throughout the leaching and precipitation process. After precipitation, the product is converted to doré at the Rochester mine and a form of gold concentrate at the Wharf mine, representing the final product produced by each mine. The inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within 12 months is classified as current and the historical cost of metals contained within the broken ore expected to be extracted beyond 12 months is classified as non-current. Ore on leach pads is valued based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pad, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process. The estimate of both the ultimate recovery expected over time and the quantity of metal that may be extracted relative to the time the leach process occurs requires the use of estimates, which are inherently inaccurate due to the nature of the leaching process. The quantities of metal contained in the ore are based upon actual weights and assay analysis. The rate at which the leach process extracts gold and silver from the crushed ore is based upon laboratory testing and actual experience of more than 20 years of leach pad operations at the Rochester mine and 30 years of leach pad operations at the Wharf mine. The assumptions used by the Company to measure metal content during each stage of the inventory conversion process includes estimated recovery rates based on laboratory testing and assaying. The Company periodically reviews its estimates compared to actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate. The ultimate recovery will not be known until leaching operations cease. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on the leach pads were 43,699 and 4.9 million, respectively. In 2020, the Company revised its recovery rate assumptions in line with the updated technical report for Rochester filed in December 2020. This change resulted in an adjustment to the ending Ore on leach pads balance with the resulting charges allocated between Costs Applicable to Sales and Amortization in the amounts of $ 7.2 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively. In June 2021, the Company updated the recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad at Rochester, based on the historical performance of the leach pad since the third quarter of 2019. This change resulted in an adjustment to the ending ore on leach pads balance with the resulting non-cash charges allocated between Costs Applicable to Sales and Amortization in the amounts of $ 8.6 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively. Metal and Other Inventory Inventories include concentrate, doré, and operating materials and supplies. The classification of inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. Concentrate and doré inventory includes product at the mine site and product held by refineries. Metal inventory costs include direct labor, materials, depreciation, depletion and amortization as well as overhead costs relating to mining activities. Property, Plant, and Equipment Expenditures for new facilities, assets acquired pursuant to finance leases, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities, lease term, or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives range from 7 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Certain mining equipment is depreciated using the units-of-production method based upon estimated total proven and probable reserves. Mining Properties and Mine Development Capitalization of mine development costs begins once all operating permits have been secured, mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves and a final feasibility study has been completed. Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, the removal of overburden to initially expose an ore body at open pit surface mines and the building of access ways, shafts, lateral access, drifts, ramps and other infrastructure at underground mines. Costs incurred before mineralization are classified as proven and probable reserves and are capitalized if a project is in pre-production phase or expensed and classified as Exploration or Pre-development if the project is not yet in pre-production. Mine development costs are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body generally based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves. Interest 68 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements expense allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to construct new facilities is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use. Drilling and related costs incurred at the Company’s operating mines are expensed as incurred in Exploration, unless the Company can conclude with a high degree of confidence, prior to the commencement of a drilling program, that the drilling costs will result in the conversion of a mineral resource into mineral reserve. The Company’s assessment is based on the following factors: results from previous drill programs; results from geological models; results from a mine scoping study confirming economic viability of the resource; and preliminary estimates of mine inventory, ore grade, cash flow and mine life. In addition, the Company must have all permitting and/or contractual requirements necessary to have the right to and/or control of the future benefit from the targeted ore body. The costs of a drilling program that meet these criteria are capitalized as mine development costs. Drilling and related costs of approximately $ 19.9 million and $ 8.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were capitalized. The cost of removing overburden and waste materials to access the ore body at an open pit mine prior to the production phase are referred to as “pre-stripping costs.” Pre-stripping costs are capitalized during the development of an open pit mine. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that are included as a component of inventory to be recognized in Costs applicable to sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory. Mineral Interests Significant payments related to the acquisition of land and mineral rights are capitalized. Prior to acquiring such land or mineral rights, the Company generally makes a preliminary evaluation to determine that the property has significant potential to develop an economic ore body. The time between initial acquisition and full evaluation of a property’s potential is variable and is determined by many factors including: location relative to existing infrastructure, the property’s stage of development, geological controls and metal prices. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted pretax future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by discounted estimated future cash flows, and recorded by reducing the asset's carrying amount to fair value. Future cash flows are estimated based on estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold, silver, lead and zinc prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and related factors), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site asset groups at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold, silver, lead and zinc that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those risk factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineral resources could ultimately be mined economically. Assets classified as exploration potential have the highest level of risk that the carrying value of the asset can be ultimately realized, due to the still lower level of geological confidence and economic modeling. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company performed a comprehensive analysis of its Silvertip property and determined that indicators of impairment existed, primarily as a result of continued deterioration in zinc and lead market conditions as well as ongoing challenges related to the processing facility. As a result of the impairment indicators, a recoverability test was performed and the Company concluded that the long-lived assets for the Silvertip property was impaired. A non-cash impairment charge of $ 250.8 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2019. The write-down was allocated between Property, plant and equipment, net , Mining properties, net and Other non-current assets , in the amounts of $ 43.6 million, $ 201.5 million and $ 5.7 million, respectively. See Note 4 -- Impairment of Long-lived Assets and 16 -- Fair Value Measurements for additional detail of the impairment and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the long-lived assets tested for impairment. 69 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Properties Held for Sale In determining whether to classify a property as held for sale, the Company considers whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the investment is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) the Company has initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) the Company believes that the sale of the property is probable; (v) the Company has received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) the Company is actively marketing the property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its estimated fair value; and (vii) actions required for the Company to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan. If all of the above criteria are met, the Company classifies the property as held for sale. At September 30, 2021, the La Preciosa project met the held for sale criteria. However, considering that the La Preciosa project was not an operating mine and does not represent a strategic shift, the Company determined that the expected disposal of the La Preciosa project does not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the entity's results and operations, therefore, the applicable assets, liabilities for the current period presented are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as held for sale. However, the applicable assets, liabilities for the prior period and the operating results for all periods presented are not presented separately as held for sale. Restricted Assets The Company, under the terms of its self-insurance and bonding agreements with certain banks, lending institutions and regulatory agencies, is required to collateralize certain portions of its obligations. The Company has collateralized these obligations by assigning certificates of deposit that have maturity dates ranging from three months to a year, to the respective institutions or agencies. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held certificates of deposit and cash under these agreements of $ 9.1 million and $ 9.5 million, respectively. The ultimate timing of the release of the collateralized amounts is dependent on the timing and closure of each mine and repayment of the facility. In order to release the collateral, the Company must seek approval from certain government agencies responsible for monitoring the mine closure status. Collateral could also be released to the extent the Company is able to secure alternative financial assurance satisfactory to the regulatory agencies. The Company believes there is a reasonable probability that the collateral will remain in place beyond a twelve-month period and has therefore classified these investments as long-term. Leases We determine if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases are included in Other assets, non-current with the related liabilities included in Accrued liabilities and Other and Other long-term liabilities . Assets under finance leases, which primarily represent property and equipment, are included in Property, plant and equipment, net , with the related liabilities included in debt, current and debt, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. See Note 10 -- Leases for additional information related to the Company’s operating and finance leases. Reclamation The Company recognizes obligations for the expected future retirement of tangible long-lived assets and other associated asset retirement costs. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. An accretion cost, representing the increase over time in the present value of the liability, is recorded each period in Pre-development, reclamation, and other . As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded amount of the liability is reduced. Future remediation costs for inactive mines are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the discounted costs expected to be incurred at the site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing care and maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected prospectively in the period an estimate is revised. See Note 12 -- Reclamation for additional information. 70 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Foreign Currency The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using U.S. dollars as their functional currency. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the determination of net income or loss. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company, from time to time, uses derivative contracts to protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices and foreign exchange rates. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. Assuming normal market conditions, the change in the market value of such derivative contracts has historically been, and is expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency transactions are recognized as a component of Costs Applicable to Sales or Pre-development, Reclamation and Other in the same period the related expenses are incurred. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recorded each period in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Fair value adjustments, net or Revenue . Management applies judgment in estimating the fair value of instruments that are highly sensitive to assumptions regarding commodity prices, market volatilities, and foreign currency exchange rates. See Note 16 -- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information. Stock-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) awards using market comparison. Stock options granted are accounted for as equity-based awards and SARs are accounted for as liability-based awards. The value of the SARs is remeasured at each reporting date. The Company estimates forfeitures of stock-based awards based on historical data and periodically adjusts the forfeiture rate. The adjustment of the forfeiture rate is recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. Compensation costs related to stock based compensation are included in General and administrative expenses , Costs applicable to sales , and Property, plant, and equipment, net as deemed appropriate. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of performance leverage stock units with market conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock based compensation expense related to awards with a market or performance condition is generally recognized over the vesting period of the award utilizing the graded vesting method, while all other awards are recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company's estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, estimates of forfeitures, the Company's performance, and related tax impacts. See Note 14 -- Stock-Based Compensation for additional information. Income and Mining Taxes The Company uses an asset and liability approach which results in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences or benefits of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. Revenue Recognition The Company produces doré and concentrate that is shipped to third-party refiners and smelters, respectively, for processing. The Company enters into contracts to sell its metal to various third-party customers which may include the refiners 71 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and smelters that process the doré and concentrate. The Company’s performance obligation in these transactions is generally the transfer of metal to the customer. In the case of doré shipments, the Company generally sells refined metal at market prices agreed upon by both parties. The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a portion of the anticipated refined metal in advance of being fully refined. When the Company sells refined metal or advanced metal, the performance obligation is satisfied when the metal is delivered to the customer. Revenue and Costs Applicable to Sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time the performance obligation is satisfied. Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period, typically one to three months, after the shipment date based on market prices. When the Company sells gold concentrate to the third-party smelters, the performance obligation is satisfied when risk of loss is transferred to the customer. The contracts, in general, provide for provisional payment based upon provisional assays and historical metal prices. Final settlement is based on the applicable price for the specified future quotational period and generally occurs three to six months after shipment. The Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates measured at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through revenue each period until the date of final metal settlement. The Company also sells concentrate under off-take agreements to third-party customers that are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. Prices can either be fixed or based on a quotational period. The quotational period varies by contract, but is generally a one-month period following the shipment of the concentrate. The performance obligation is satisfied when risk of loss is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from concentrate sales, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. For doré and off-take sales, the Company may incur a finance charge related to advance sales that is not considered significant and, as such, is not considered a separate performance obligation. In addition, the Company has elected to treat freight costs as a fulfillment cost under ASC 606 and not as a separate performance obligation. The Company’s gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) provided for a $ 22.0 million deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation, commencing in 2016, to purchase 50 % of a portion of Palmarejo gold production at the lesser of $ 800 or market price per ounce. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The streaming 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 20 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail. The following table presents a rollforward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2021 2020 2019 Opening Balance $ 9,376 $ 11,061 $ 12,918 Revenue Recognized ( 1,226 ) ( 1,685 ) ( 1,857 ) Closing Balance $ 8,150 $ 9,376 $ 11,061 In December 2020, the Company received a $ 15.0 million prepayment (the “December 2020 Prepayment”) for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine pursuant to the Amended Sales Contract (as defined in Note 21). In the first half of 2021, the Kensington mine delivered $ 15.0 million of gold concentrate to the counterparty in satisfaction of this prepayment obligation. The Amended Sales Contract was further amended effective June 2021, to include options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $15.0 million each for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine, and Coeur exercised the option to receive the first $ 15.0 million prepayment in June 2021 (the “June 2021 Prepayment”), of which $ 15.0 million in gold ounces were delivered in the second half 2021. In December 2021, the Company exercised the option to receive the second $ 15.0 million prepayment (the “December 2021 Prepayment). The Amended Sales Contract represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to the customer. The remaining contract liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 20 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail. 72 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table presents a rollforward of the Amended Sales Contract liability balance: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2021 2020 2019 Opening Balance $ 15,003 $ 15,009 $ — Additions 30,013 30,177 40,009 Revenue Recognized ( 30,000 ) ( 30,183 ) ( 25,000 ) Closing Balance $ 15,016 $ 15,003 $ 15,009 Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”) “Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 (January 1, 2021 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows. 73 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip development property, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. The Silvertip development property, which suspended mining and processing activities in February 2020, is engaged in the discovery of silver, zinc and lead. Other includes the Sterling/Crown and La Preciosa projects, other mineral interests, strategic equity investments, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.

Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company's doré, as well as the concentrate product produced by the Wharf mine, is refined into gold and silver bullion according to benchmark standards set by the London Bullion Market Association, which regulates the acceptable requirements for bullion traded in the London precious metals markets. The Company then sells its gold and silver bullion to multi-national banks, bullion trading houses, and refiners across the globe. The Company had seven trading counterparties at December 31, 2021. The Company's sales of doré or concentrate product produced by the Palmarejo, Rochester, and Wharf mines amounted to approximately 74 %, 72 %, and 68 %, of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company's gold concentrate product from the Kensington mine and the zinc and lead concentrates from the Silvertip development property are sold under a variety of agreements with smelters and traders, and the smelters and traders pay the Company for the metals recovered from the concentrates. The Company’s sales of concentrate produced by the Kensington and Silvertip development property amounted to approximately 26 %, 28 %, and 32 % of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company believes that the loss of any one smelter, refiner, trader or third-party customer would not have a material adverse effect on the Company due to the liquidity of the markets and current availability of alternative trading counterparties.

At any time prior to February 15, 2024, the Company may use the proceeds of certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes, including any permitted additional 2029 Senior Notes, at a redemption price equal to 105.125 % of the principal amount.

In April and August of 2019, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreement to, among other items, modify the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility in 2019. On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the RCF from $ 250.0 million to $ 300.0 million and to include ING Capital LLC as an incremental lender on the RCF. On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the RCF to March 2025 and (ii) permit the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF, which is currently in the amount of $ 300.0 million, in an aggregate amount of up to $ 100.0 million in incremental loans and commitments, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from relevant lenders to provide such increase. The RCF is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines and the Sterling/Crown project as well as a pledge of the shares and other equity interests of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary, including representations, warranties, and covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales and make dividends and distributions. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Obligations under the RCF may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default.

The estimated reclamation and mine closure costs were discounted using credit adjusted, risk-free interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 10.1%. The asset retirement obligation increased in 2021 due to overall inflationary impacts, increased reclamation and mine closure costs at Rochester associated with work completed to date for POA 11 and additional costs at Wharf and Rochester associated with the existing open pit and leach pad operations.

There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Based upon this analysis, the Company has recorded valuation allowances as follows: 84 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2021 2020 U.S. $ 228,942 $ 215,396 Canada 165,561 146,611 Mexico 13,277 15,885 New Zealand 21,822 22,740 Other 451 672 $ 430,053 $ 401,304 The Company has the following tax attribute carryforwards at December 31, 2021, by jurisdiction: In thousands U.S. Canada Mexico New Zealand Other Total Regular net operating losses $ 466,708 $ 392,061 $ 44,257 $ 77,764 $ 919 $ 981,709 Expiration years 2022-2038 2028-2041 2022-2031 Indefinite 2022-2026 Capital losses 56,534 — — — — 56,534 Foreign tax credits 21,614 — — — — 21,614 The majority of the U.S. capital losses will expire in 2022. Foreign tax credits expire if unused beginning in 2022. The utilization of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and recognized built-in losses may be subject to limitation under the rules regarding a change in stock ownership as determined by the Internal Revenue Code and state tax laws. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes annual limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and certain built-in losses upon an ownership change as defined under that Section. Generally, an ownership change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of certain shareholders in the Company’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year testing period. If the Company experiences an ownership change, an annual limitation would be imposed on certain of the Company’s tax attributes, including net operating losses and certain other losses, credits, deductions or tax basis. Management has determined that the Company experienced ownership changes during 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2015 for purposes of Section 382. Based on management’s calculations, the Company does not expect any of its U.S. tax attributes to expire unused as a result of the Section 382 annual limitations. However, the annual limitations may impact the timeframe over which the net operating loss carryforwards can be used, potentially impacting cash tax liabilities in a future period. The U.S. federal tax credits and state net operating losses may potentially be limited as well. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our US net deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. As a result, if the Company earns U.S. federal taxable income, it may be limited in the ability to (1) recognize current deductions on built-in loss assets and (2) offset this income with our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credit carryforwards, which may be subject to limitations, potentially resulting in increased future tax liability to us. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited to 80% of future taxable income. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act suspended the 80% limitation on losses incurred in 2018 and in future years, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect this to impact its net operating loss usage. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest earnings from Mexican operations. 85 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount related to unrecognized tax benefits is below (in thousands): Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 $ 2,706 Gross increase to current period tax positions — Gross increase to prior period tax positions ( 122 ) Reductions in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations ( 1,861 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 $ 723 Gross increase to current period tax positions — Gross increase to prior period tax positions — Reductions in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations ( 428 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021 $ 295 At December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, $ 0.3 million, $ 0.7 million, and $ 2.7 million, respectively, of these gross unrecognized benefits would, if recognized, decrease the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and paid the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and, in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. The Company files income tax returns in various U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, in all identified foreign jurisdictions, and various others. The statute of limitations remains open from 2017 for the US federal jurisdiction and from 2013 for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitations that will begin to expire within the next 12 months in various jurisdictions and possible settlement of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of these issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its unrecognized income tax liability will decrease between $ 0.5 million and $ 1.0 million in the next 12 months. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and recognized interest and penalties of $ 0.4 million, $ 1.1 million, and $ 2.3 million at December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has stock incentive plans for executives and eligible employees. Stock awards include restricted stock, performance shares and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $ 13.7 million, $ 8.5 million and $ 9.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, there was $ 9.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.5 years. Restricted Stock Restricted stock granted under the Company’s incentive plans are accounted for based on the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and generally vest in equal installments annually over three years . Restricted stock awards are accounted for as equity awards. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to vote the shares and to receive any dividends declared on the shares. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: 86 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Restricted Stock Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2018 1,541,648 $ 7.14 Granted 1,586,590 4.90 Vested ( 797,025 ) 6.36 Canceled/Forfeited ( 146,538 ) 5.70 Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,184,675 $ 5.89 Granted 1,676,634 5.13 Vested ( 928,778 ) 6.46 Canceled/Forfeited ( 207,807 ) 5.36 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,724,724 $ 5.26 Granted 932,442 8.88 Vested ( 1,179,857 ) 5.53 Canceled/Forfeited ( 332,505 ) 5.83 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 2,144,804 $ 6.60 At December 31, 2021, there was $ 4.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. Performance Shares Performance shares granted under the Company’s incentive plans are accounted for as equity awards at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Performance shares granted during and subsequent to 2018 will vest at the end of a three-year service period if internal performance metrics are met, with the number of shares vesting impacted by the inclusion of a modifier based upon a relative stockholder return metric. The relative stockholder return metric is included in the determination of the grant date fair value of the performance shares; however, the recognition of compensation cost for performance share awards is based on the results of the internal performance metrics. Performance shares granted prior to 2018 vested at the end of the three-year service period if relative stockholder return and internal performance metrics were met. The existence of a market condition required recognition of compensation cost for the performance share awards over the requisite period regardless of whether the relative stockholder return metric was met. The following table summarizes performance shares activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: Performance Shares Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2018 1,538,315 $ 4.05 Granted (1) 946,000 4.71 Vested ( 969,903 ) 1.77 Canceled/Forfeited (1) ( 300,267 ) 1.84 Outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,214,145 $ 6.93 Granted (2) 1,343,953 3.95 Vested ( 54,132 ) 11.47 Canceled/Forfeited (2) ( 168,864 ) 10.71 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,335,102 $ 4.83 Granted (3) 602,933 10.13 Vested ( 143,312 ) 7.39 Canceled/Forfeited (3) ( 404,710 ) 6.12 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 2,390,013 $ 5.80 87 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Includes 207,264 additional shares granted and 300,267 shares cancelled in connection with the vesting of the 2016 award in 2019 due to above-target and below target performance, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the award. (2) Includes 6,226 additional shares granted and 143,808 shares cancelled in connection with the vesting of the 2017 award in 2020 due to above-target and below target performance, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the award. (3) Includes 1,421 additional shares granted and 141,894 shares cancelled in connection with the vesting of the 2018 award in 2021 due to above-target and below target performance, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the award. At December 31, 2021, there was $ 5.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance shares to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) granted under the Company’s incentive plans generally vest over three years and are exercisable over a period not to exceed ten years from the grant date. The exercise price of stock options is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The value of each stock option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options are accounted for as equity awards and SARs are accounted for as liability awards and remeasured at each reporting date. SARs, when vested, provide the participant the right to receive cash equal to the excess of the market price of the shares over the exercise price when exercised. The following table summarizes stock option and SAR activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: Stock Options SARs Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2018 319,086 $ 13.53 42,152 $ 14.14 Exercised ( 11,055 ) 5.57 — — Canceled/forfeited ( 11,519 ) 9.31 — — Expired ( 4,733 ) 10.00 ( 9,870 ) 10.00 Outstanding at December 31, 2019 291,779 $ 14.05 32,282 $ 15.40 Exercised ( 30,401 ) 5.57 — — Canceled/forfeited ( 39,105 ) 12.77 — — Expired — — ( 32,282 ) 15.40 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 222,273 $ 15.44 — — Exercised ( 57,721 ) 7.74 — — Canceled/forfeited ( 16,455 ) 18.45 — — Expired ( 16,844 ) 27.45 — — Outstanding at December 31, 2021 131,253 $ 16.91 — — The following table summarizes outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2021.

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 following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Fair Value at December 31, 2021 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity securities $ 132,197 $ 132,197 $ — $ — Provisional metal sales contracts 86 — 86 — $ 132,283 $ 132,197 $ 86 $ — Liabilities: Gold zero cost collars $ 1,212 $ — $ 1,212 $ — Provisional metal sales contracts 162 — 162 — $ 1,374 $ — $ 1,374 $ — Fair Value at December 31, 2020 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity and debt securities $ 12,943 $ 12,943 $ — $ — Foreign currency forward exchange contracts 13,747 — 13,747 — Provisional metal sales contracts 481 — 481 — $ 27,171 $ 12,943 $ 14,228 $ — Liabilities: Gold zero cost collars $ 24,883 $ — $ 24,883 $ — Provisional metal sales contracts 67 — 67 — $ 24,950 $ — $ 24,950 $ — The Company’s investments in equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based primarily on quoted market prices. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices and other unobservable inputs. The Company’s gold zero cost collars are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads. The Company’s provisional metal sales contracts include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts that are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices. 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. 89 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As described in Note 7 - Investments , the Exchange Agreement provided that Orion may be entitled to additional Coeur shares in the event Coeur acquires Victoria in the future for a higher per share consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement. The Company determined that the potential for additional share consideration in the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expired on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the inception date of the Exchange Agreement and adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The fair value of the outstanding embedded derivative was determined using a pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including stock prices, stock price volatility and risk-free rates and other unobservable inputs such as Monte Carlo simulations and probabilities of Coeur being contractually obligated to make a payment. In October 2017, the Company acquired the Silvertip mine from shareholders of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd (the “Silvertip Acquisition”). The consideration for the Silvertip Acquisition included two $ 25.0 million contingent payments, which were payable in cash and common stock upon reaching a future permitting milestone and resource declaration milestone, respectively. The fair value of the Silvertip contingent consideration was estimated based on an estimated discount rate of 2.5 % for the contingent permitting payment and 2.9 % for the contingent resource declaration payment and was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During 2019, the Company paid the $ 25.0 million due for the permitting milestone in the form of cash and common stock, and in the first quarter of 2020, the Company paid the remaining $ 25.0 million due for the resource declaration milestone in the form of cash and common stock. No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the year ended December 31, 2021. The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The fair value of the RCF approximates book value as the liability is secured, has a variable interest rate, and lacks significant credit concerns. NOTE 16 – 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. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. 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 Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Exchange Agreement Embedded Derivative The Exchange Agreement provided that Orion may be entitled to additional Coeur shares in the event Coeur acquires Victoria in the future for a higher per share consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement. The Company determined that the potential for additional share consideration in the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expired on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the inception date of the Exchange Agreement and adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expired on October 31, 2021. 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. At December 31, 2021, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows: In thousands except average prices and notional ounces 2022 2023 and Thereafter Provisional gold sales contracts $ 29,481 $ — Average gold price per ounce $ 1,798 $ — Notional ounces 16,393 — The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments: December 31, 2021 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Provisional metal sales contracts $ 86 $ 162 December 31, 2020 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Provisional metal sales contracts $ 481 $ 67 91 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following represent mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Financial statement line Derivative 2021 2020 2019 Revenue Provisional metal sales contracts $ ( 490 ) $ 959 $ 337 Fair value adjustments, net Exchange agreement embedded derivative 9,933 — — Fair value adjustments, net Interest rate swaps — — ( 178 ) $ 9,443 $ 959 $ 159 Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies 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 are net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. If the price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, 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. To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S dollar and are exposed to forecasted transaction denominated in the Mexican Peso and the Canadian Dollar, in March 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts. At December 31, 2021, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows: In thousands except average prices and notional ounces 2022 2023 and Thereafter Gold put options Average gold strike price per ounce $ 1,630 $ — Notional ounces 132,000 — Gold call options Average gold strike price per ounce $ 2,038 $ — Notional ounces 132,000 — 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. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency transactions are recognized as a component of Costs Applicable to Sales or Pre-development, Reclamation and Other in the same period the related expenses are incurred. 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 1.2 million of net after-tax loss in AOCI related to losses from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $ 1.2 million of net after-tax losses is expected to be recognized in its 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 for metal contracts. 92 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: December 31, 2021 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Gold zero cost collars $ — $ 1,212 December 31, 2020 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Gold zero cost collars $ — $ 24,883 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts 13,747 — $ 13,747 $ 24,883 The following table sets forth the pre-tax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that have been included in AOCI and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively (in thousands).

Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received VAT refunds associated with the royalty payments in the normal course; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying Coeur Mexicana’s VAT refunds based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana began to request refunds of the VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover the VAT from the Mexican government (including through litigation and potential arbitration as well as refiling VAT refund requests). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation has continued at the administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels, most of which has been determined unfavorably to Coeur (including during 2021) 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 VAT receivable and intends to rigorously continue its VAT recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the VAT receivable and recent unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the VAT receivable at September 30, 2021. Coeur Mexicana may still elect to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. 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. 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. At December 31, 2021 the remaining unamortized balance was $ 8.2 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Kensington Prepayment In June 2019, Coeur entered into a transaction with an existing metal sales counterparty whereby it amended its existing sales and purchase contract for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments, the latest occurring in July 2021, with an effective date as of June 28, 2021, to include options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $15.0 million. In December 2020, Coeur exercised an option to receive the $ 15.0 million December 2020 Prepayment. In the first half of 2021, the Kensington mine delivered $ 15.0 million in satisfaction of the December 2020 Prepayment. In June 2021, Coeur exercised an option to receive the $ 15.0 million June 2021 Prepayment, and delivered $ 15.0 million against that $ 15.0 million in the second half of 2021. In December 2021, the Company exercised the option to receive the $15.0 million December 2021 Prepayment. The remaining deliveries of $ 15.0 million under the December 2021 Prepayment are recognized as a deferred revenue liability and are presented in Accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the 98 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relevant terms of the Amended Sales Contract, Coeur maintains its exposure to the price of gold and expects to recognize the remaining value of the accrued liability by December 31, 2022. POA 11 Expansion Project In the second half of 2021 the Company began seeing inflationary pressures on bids for remaining unawarded contracts on the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester during the second half of 2021, most notably on two structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation (“SMPEI”) construction contracts for the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crushing circuit, respectively. Coeur recently selected the general SMPEI contractor for construction of the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crusher corridor based on a revised commercial approach from the previous lump-sum commercial model to a single contract. SMPEI work under the initial contract is beginning to advance. Coeur has also advanced work related to implementation of pre-screens as part of the POA 11 expansion project and has elected to proceed with this scope change enhancement. As previously disclosed, the Company plans to integrate pre-screens into the current crushing system at Rochester, which is expected to drive improved performance while providing valuable operating experience and knowledge that can be applied to the new crushing circuit as part of the POA 11 expansion. Coeur has commenced detailed engineering for pre-screens and intends to align construction of the pre-screens with the completion of the crusher corridor. Installation of pre-screens on the existing crusher system is scheduled for the first half of 2022 with commissioning expected to begin around mid-year. In connection with the items discussed above, the Company has conducted a comprehensive re-baselining of the overall schedule and costs associated with the original scope of POA 11. Coeur now estimates the total construction capital for POA 11 to be approximately $ 597 million, which includes the 10 - 15 % previously announced potential cost escalation as well as $ 70 - $ 80 million related to pre-screen implementation and additional porject contingency to reflect ongoing COVID and schedule risk. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has incurred approximately $ 236 million in the expansion and 61 % of the capital is now committed (excluding the recently-awarded SMPEI contract, which is expected to be formalized in the first quarter). Excluding capital leases, Coeur forecasts capital expenditures related to POA 11 to be approximately $ 217 - $ 257 million and $ 131 - $ 171 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Additional details on expected production and capital expenditures for Rochester can be found in the Technical Report Summary filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2022. 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 hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had surety bonds totaling $ 315.1 million and $ 311.9 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. 99 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 21 – ADDITIONAL BALANCE SHEET DETAIL AND SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Accrued liabilities and other consist of the following: In thousands December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Accrued salaries and wages $ 28,408 $ 30,457 Deferred revenue (1) 16,093 16,425 Income and mining taxes 13,856 26,118 Accrued operating costs 5,592 3,327 Unrealized losses on derivatives 1,374 24,950 Taxes other than income and mining 3,284 3,616 Accrued interest payable 8,038 1,855 Operating lease liabilities 11,301 12,410 Accrued liabilities and other $ 87,946 $ 119,158 (1) See Note 20 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional details on deferred revenue liabilities The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that total the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows in the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: In thousands December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 56,664 $ 92,794 Restricted cash equivalents 1,625 1,376 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 58,289 $ 94,170 Year ended December 31, Non-cash financing and investing activities: 2021 2020 2019 Finance lease obligations $ 37,860 $ 5,283 $ 16,615 Capital expenditures, not yet paid $ 40,904 $ 30,682 $ 8,188 Non-cash extinguishment of senior notes $ — $ — $ 20,009 Non-cash Silvertip contingent consideration $ — $ 5,295 $ 5,973 Non-cash acquisition of Victoria Gold Corp common stock $ 118,777 $ — $ — Other cash flow information: Interest paid $ 19,655 $ 20,634 $ 24,428 Income and mining taxes paid $ 57,200 $ 35,600 $ 33,700 NOTE 22 – ASSET AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell its La Preciosa project located in the State of Durango, Mexico to Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (“Avino”). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals and expected to close in the first quarter of 2022. Under the Agreement, Avino will acquire the La Preciosa project from Coeur for the following consideration: • $ 15.0 million upon closing of the transaction, • $ 5.0 million promissory note that matures prior to the first anniversary of the transaction closing, • Equity consideration of 14.0 million units, payable on closing, each consisting of one share of Avino common stock and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Avino common stock, priced at a 25 % premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price prior to announcement, 100 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • Deferred cash consideration of approximately $ 8.8 million to be paid no later than the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project, • Contingent payments of $ 0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (subject to an inflationary adjustment) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resource area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $ 50.0 million, and • Two royalties covering the La Preciosa land package, including (i) a 1.25 % net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and (ii) a 2.00 % gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, offset by the amount of any new mineral reserve contingent payments made to Coeur. The Company classified the La Preciosa project as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and the associated assets and liabilities are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets. The major classes of assets and liabilities associated with the La Preciosa project as of December 31, 2021 are as follows: In thousands December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 234 Receivables 1,211 Prepaid expenses and other 1,338 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,626 Mining properties, net 49,085 Other 746 TOTAL ASSETS $ 54,240 Accounts payable $ 311 Deferred tax liabilities 10,958 TOTAL LIABILITIES $ 11,269 NOTE 23 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In December 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the “Manquiri Agreement”) to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A. (“Manquiri”), which is the operator of the San Bartolomé mine and processing facility (the “Manquiri Divestiture”). On February 28, 2018, the Manquiri Divestiture was completed, and, in accordance with the Manquiri Agreement, the capital stock in Manquiri was sold to Ag-Mining Investments, AB, a privately-held Swedish company (the “Buyer”), in exchange for, among other items, (A) 2.0% net smelter returns royalty on all metals processed through the San Bartolomé mine’s processing facility (the “NSR”) and (B) promissory notes payable by the Buyer with an aggregate principal amount equal to $ 27.6 million (the “Manquiri Notes Receivable”). In September 2018, the Company entered into the Letter Agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the total aggregate principal amount of the Manquiri Notes Receivable was reduced to $ 25.0 million, and the Buyer made a concurrent cash payment of $ 15.0 million to the Sellers in respect of the Manquiri Notes Receivable. In addition, the Company also agreed to forgo any rights to any value added tax refunds collected or received by Manquiri. On February 28, 2019, the parties executed a letter agreement (the “February Letter Agreement”), which amended certain terms of the Manquiri Agreement. Pursuant to the February Letter Agreement, the Buyer agreed to accelerate repayment of the remaining aggregate $ 6.0 million owed under the Manquiri Notes Receivable, which was received. As of the date of the entry into the February Letter Agreement, the remaining obligations under the Manquiri Agreement (including post-closing indemnification obligations) terminated.
