Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2021 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”).
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2021 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). 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.
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, 2022, the Sterling/Crown exploration properties met the held for sale criteria. However, considering that the Sterling/Crown exploration properties are not operating mines, the Company determined that the expected disposal of the Sterling/Crown exploration properties do not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the entity's results and operations, therefore, the Sterling/Crown exploration properties are not classified as a discontinued operation. The applicable assets and liabilities of Coeur Sterling, Inc. for the current period presented are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as held for sale. See Note 20 -- Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for additional detail.
Revenue Recognition
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 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.
The following table presents a roll forward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

In December 2021, the Company received a $ 15.0 million prepayment (the “December 2021 Prepayment”) for deliveries of gold concentrate from the Kensington mine pursuant to the Amended Sales Contract (as defined in Note 17). In March 2022, the Company exercised an option to receive a $ 10.0 million prepayment (the “March 2022 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 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

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

For more details, please see Note 8 -- Debt contained in the 2021 10-K.
Revolving Credit Facility
On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “May Amendment”) to the revolving credit facility (the “RCF”), dated as of September 29, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, the Bank of Nova Scotia, ING Capital LLC and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “RCF Lenders”). The May Amendment, among other things, increased the maximum principal amount of the RCF by $ 90.0 million in incremental loans and commitments to an aggregate amount of $ 390.0 million.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 200.0 million drawn at an interest rate of 5.5 %, $ 29.8 million in outstanding letters of credit and $ 160.2 million available under the RCF. Future borrowing may be subject to certain financial covenants.
On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “November Amendment”) to the RCF. The November Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility under the consolidated net leverage ratio requirement through the December 31, 2023 test date, with the ratio returning to the original level as outlined in the RCF starting with the March 31, 2024 test date (the “Amendment Period”), (2) allows up to $ 50 million for integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities and certain costs associated with LCM adjustments at Rochester to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF, (3) increases the interest rate on certain borrowings through early 2023, (4) requires the Company to repay outstanding amounts under the RCF if cash-on-hand exceeds $ 60 million during the Amendment Period, and (5) restricts certain payments and the incurrence of certain liens during the Amendment Period.
Finance Lease Obligations
From time-to-time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington. Coeur secured a finance lease package for nearly $ 60.0 million in 2021, a portion of which has been funded as of September 30, 2022. The package is earmarked for planned equipment purchases for Rochester’s Plan of Operation Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) in 2022, and has an interest rate of 5.22 %. All finance lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $ 1.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 3.4 %. This compares to income tax expense of $ 6.4 million for an effective tax rate of 13.2% during the third quarter of 2021. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) mining taxes; (iv) the sale of non-core assets; (v) foreign exchange rates; (vi) the impact of uncertain tax positions; (vii) percentage depletion; and (viii) the non-recognition of tax assets. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company ultimately will be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2021 10-K.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations remains open from 2018 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2016 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next twelve months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by less than $ 0.1 million in the next twelve months.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 0.0 million and $ 0.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that, if recognized, would positively impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $ 0.0 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively.

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

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 common share purchase warrants received as consideration in the La Preciosa project sale are valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including quoted market prices and quoted interest curve rates. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s gold forward contracts 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.
As further discussed in Note 19 -- Dispositions, the consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project included two royalties, a 1.25 % net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and a 2.00 % gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, and contingent consideration of $ 0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (adjusted for inflation) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resources area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $ 50.0 million. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration assets were $ 11.2 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, valued as of the date of closing of the transaction and are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration were valued using Monte Carlo simulation models. The model inputs include significant unobservable inputs and involve significant management judgment. The significant unobservable inputs included assumptions related to metal prices which assumed silver prices ranging from $ 22 to $ 25 per ounce and gold prices ranging from $ 1,700 to $ 1,930 per ounce as well as volatility assumptions for silver and gold prices ( 33.5 % and 19.0 %, respectively), and an assumed weighted average cost of capital of 15.5 %. Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at book value in the financial statements at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is presented in the following table:

The fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes was estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of the RCF approximates book value as the liability is secured, has a variable interest rate, and lacks significant credit concerns.
Also included in the consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project was a promissory note payable to the Company that matures in March 2023 and deferred cash consideration payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project. These assets were valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 13 – 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
Provisional Metal Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.
Zero Cost Collars
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements. The contracts were net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration 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 was lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company voluntarily de-designated hedge accounting for the zero cost collars and subsequently terminated the arrangements. The cost to terminate the zero cost collars was $ 7.7 million, of which $ 3.1 million was recognized in earnings and the remaining $ 4.6 million, which represents the fair value of the zero cost collars on the date of de-designation, was retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and will be recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur. As of September 30, 2022, there was $ 1.4 million remaining to be recognized in earnings over the next three months.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows:

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company enters into forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly and if the actual price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.
At September 30, 2022, 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 forwards
Average gold fixed price per ounce $ 1,994 $ 1,982
Notional ounces 54,500 112,500
The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue are recognized as a component of Revenue in the same period as the related sale is recognized.
At inception, the Company performed an assessment of the forecasted transactions and the hedging instruments and determined that the hedging relationships are considered perfectly effective. Future assessments are performed to verify that critical terms of the hedging instruments and the forecasted transactions continue to match, and the forecasted transactions remain probable, as well as an assessment of any adverse developments regarding the risk of the counterparties defaulting on their commitments. There have been no such changes in critical terms or adverse developments.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 47.1 million of net after-tax gain in AOCI related to gains from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $ 41.8 million of net after-tax gains 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.

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

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mexico Litigation Matters
As of September 30, 2022, $ 26.0 million in principal amount is due from the Mexican government associated with VAT that was paid under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received 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 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. In September 2022, the Company and Coeur Mexicana filed a request for arbitration under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, in connection with this dispute. 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
24
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 September 30, 2022 the remaining unamortized balance was $ 7.6 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 amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments, including in June 2021, to provide options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $ 15.0 million each. The Company exercised these options and received $ 15.0 million both in June 2021 (the "June 2021 Prepayment") and in December 2021 (the "December 2021 Prepayment"). The June 2021 Prepayment was repaid in full before the December 2021 Prepayment was received. In March 2022, the Amended Sales Contract was further amended to allow for an additional $ 10.0 million prepayment which was made in March 2022 (the “March 2022 Prepayment”). The Amended Sales Contract was further amended in June 2022 to consolidate the remaining deliveries of $ 15.0 million and $ 10.0 million under the December 2021 Prepayment and March 2022 Prepayment (the “June 2022 Consolidated Prepayment”), to extend the repayment period for the June 2022 Consolidated Prepayment, and to provide for future prepayments of up to $ 25.0 million on a semi-annual basis through the end of 2024, provided all prior outstanding prepayment amounts are paid before such future prepayments are made. The remaining deliveries of the June 2022 Consolidated Prepayment are recognized as a deferred revenue liability and are presented in Accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the 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 2022.
POA 11 Expansion Project
Coeur achieved several key milestones at the Rochester expansion during the quarter, notably, (i) completion of major concrete work in all areas except the primary crusher pocket and the pre-screens, both of which are in progress, (ii) continuation of structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation construction work throughout the project, (iii) commencement of final major high-voltage electrical distribution and substation construction, and (iv) completion of the majority of commitments for the pre-screens.
Progress of the Merrill-Crowe plant continued on schedule during the third quarter, including (i) continuation of mechanical equipment setting, (ii) completion of building and process plant steel pipe rack erection, (iii) continuation of piping and cable tray installation, and (iv) rough setting of electrical switchgear.
Further work on the crusher corridor has also advanced, including (i) civil work on the primary crusher area with a focus on the primary crusher foundation and commencement of conveyor component installation, (ii) setting of the secondary cone crushers and commencement of piping, cable tray and lighting installation in the secondary crusher area, and (iii) setting of the tertiary HPGR crushers and cable tray and lighting installation in the tertiary crusher area.
During the quarter, Coeur successfully aligned the construction of the pre-screens with the completion of the new crusher to maintain a mid-2023 mechanical completion target. Ramp-up and commissioning is anticipated to take place during the second half of next year.
Coeur also completed a review of the total capital costs necessary to complete the expansion, resulting in a 9 - 12% increase in the capital estimate to $ 650 - $ 670 million. The estimate reflects the finalization of cost estimates for pre-screens, higher prices and quantities of steel and concrete, and additional contingency.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had committed approximately $ 575 million of capital since the inception of the project and approximately $ 443 million of the estimated project cost had been incurred.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had surety bonds totaling $ 326.7 million and $ 315.1 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
25
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
