Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


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, 2015. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2014 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a reduction to the carrying amount of that debt liability, not as an asset. The updated guidance became effective under early adoption for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015, and resulted in a reclassification of amounts from Other Non-current Assets to Debt in the current and prior periods.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810. These changes become effective prospectively for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The updated guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. These changes become effective prospectively for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Rochester, Kensington, and Wharf mines, and Coeur Capital. All operating segments are engaged in the discovery and mining of gold and silver and generate the majority of their revenues from the sale of these precious metals with the exception of Coeur Capital, which holds the Endeavor silver stream and other precious metals royalties. Other includes the La Preciosa project, Joaquin project, Martha mine, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.

NOTE 4 – RECLAMATION

Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, mineral prices, mineral processing recovery rates, production levels, capital costs, and reclamation costs. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates.

Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for operating sites (included in Reclamation) are as follows:



	Three months ended March 31,
In thousands	2015			2014
Asset retirement obligation - Beginning	$	67,214		$	57,454

Additions and changes in estimates	18,292			—
Settlements	(859		)	(311		)
Asset retirement obligation - Ending	$	86,059		$	58,460

The increase in asset retirement obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2015 is due to the acquisition of the Wharf gold mine. The Company has accrued $3.7 million and $3.6 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for reclamation liabilities related to former mining activities. These amounts are also included in Reclamation.

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock incentive plans for executives and eligible employees. Stock awards include stock options, restricted stock, and performance shares. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015, there was $7.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost expected to be recognized over a period of 1.5 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the supplemental incentive accrual increased $0.4 million to $1.0 million.

The following options and stock appreciation rights were exercisable during the three months ended March 31, 2015:



Award Type	Number of Exercised Units	Weighted Average Exercised Price		Number of Exercisable Units	Weighted Average Exercisable Price
Options	—	$	—	308,727	$	19.69
Stock Appreciation Rights	—	$	—	46,572	$	14.06

NOTE 6 – RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan that covers all eligible U.S. employees. Eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 75% of base salary, subject to ERISA limitations. In addition, the Company has a deferred compensation plan for employees whose benefits under the 401(k) plan are limited by federal regulations. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 100% of the employee’s contribution up to 4% of the employee's salary. The Company may also provide a voluntary, noncontributory defined contribution based on a percentage of eligible employee's salary. Total company contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 7 – INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The following table summarizes the components of Income and mining tax (expense) benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 by significant location:



	Three months ended March 31,
	2015						2014
In thousands	Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit			Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit
United States	$	(20,707	)	$	1,886		$	(28,686	)	$	(146	)
Argentina	(696		)	(1		)	(2,204		)	4,432
Mexico	(9,672		)	(1,264		)	(16,006		)	3,721
Bolivia	(2,379		)	(1,407		)	4,692			(2,764		)

	$	(33,219	)	$	(68	)	$	(41,880	)	$	4,689

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2015 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to (i) a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets relating to losses incurred in the United States and certain foreign locations, (ii) the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on deferred tax account balances, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and foreign earnings not considered as permanently reinvested with respect to certain foreign locations, and (iii) differences in foreign tax rates in the Company's foreign locations. In conjunction with these items, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income and loss result in significant fluctuations in its consolidated effective tax rate.

The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2019 through 2034. Net operating losses in foreign countries have an indefinite carryforward period, except in Mexico where net operating loss carryforwards are limited to ten years.

NOTE 8 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 1,302,777 and 2,071,279 shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive.

The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the Notes.

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. For certain of the equity securities quoted market prices are not available. These securities are valued using pricing models which require the use of observable and unobservable inputs. These securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s silver and gold options and other derivative instruments, net, which relate to concentrate sales contracts and foreign exchange contracts, are valued using pricing models, which require inputs that are derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, and other unobservable inputs. 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 fair values of the Palmarejo royalty obligation embedded derivative and Rochester NSR royalty obligation were estimated based on observable market data including contractual terms, forward silver and gold prices, yield curves, and credit spreads, as well as the Company’s current mine plan which is considered a significant unobservable input. Therefore, the Company has classified these obligations as Level 3 financial liabilities. Based on current mine plans, expected royalty durations of 1.4 years and 3.0 years were used to estimate the fair value of the Palmarejo royalty obligation embedded derivative and Rochester NSR royalty obligation, respectively, at March 31, 2015.

No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

The fair values of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes and 7.875% Senior Notes outstanding were estimated using quoted market prices. The Short-term Credit Agreement was originated by a third party at March 31, 2015 and, as a result, book value is assumed to be fair value. The fair value of the San Bartolomé line of credit approximates book value due to the short-term nature of the liability and absence of significant interest rate or credit concerns. The fair value of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation is estimated based on observable market data including contractual terms, forward silver and gold prices, yield curves, and credit spreads, as well as the Company’s current mine plan which is considered a significant unobservable input.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, the Company's subsidiary, Coeur Mexicana S.A. de C.V. ("Coeur Mexicana"), entered into a gold production royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties. The royalty transaction includes a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month and terminates when payments of 400,000 gold ounces have been made. At March 31, 2015, a total of 72,414 gold ounces remain outstanding under the obligation.

The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative. The Company is required to recognize the change in fair value of the remaining minimum obligation due to changing gold prices. Unrealized gains are recognized in periods when the gold price has decreased from the previous period and unrealized losses are recognized in periods when the gold price increases. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was 7.6% and 11.8% at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was a liability of $19.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the mark-to-market adjustments were losses of $1.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

Payments on the royalty obligation decrease the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of the minimum of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $412 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $4.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in Fair value adjustments, net.

Concentrate Sales Contracts

The Company's concentrate sales to third-party smelters, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and forward metal prices. The 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 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. Changes in silver and gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gains of $0.9 million and $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.5 million ounces of silver and 33,084 ounces of gold at prices of $16.67 and $1,224, respectively.

Silver and Gold Options

At March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on 2.7 million ounces of silver. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are $17.00 per ounce and $15.50 per ounce, respectively.

If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the high strike price but more than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period. If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period, and the Company would be required to pay the difference between the average market price and the low strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period.

The put spread contracts are generally net cash settled and expire during the second quarter of 2015. At March 31, 2015, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $1.5 million.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding put spread contracts on 1.3 million ounces of silver and 24,000 ounces of gold. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads were $18.00 per ounce and $16.00 per ounce, respectively. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the gold put spreads were $1,200 and $1,050, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $0.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to outstanding options which were included in Fair value adjustments, net. The Company also recognized realized losses of $0.8 million and realized gains of $0.3 million resulting from expiring and terminated contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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 financial institutions management deems credit worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. In addition, to allow for situations where derivative positions may need to be revised, the Company transacts only in markets that management considers highly liquid.

NOTE 11 – ACQUISITIONS

On February 20, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of the Wharf gold mine located near Lead, South Dakota, from a subsidiary of Goldcorp in exchange for $103.0 million in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. At March 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as the Company completes its assessment of property, certain legal and tax matters, obligations, deferred taxes, and acquired working capital. The Company incurred $2.0 million of acquisition costs, which are included in Pre-development, reclamation, and other on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Senior Notes"), resulting in a balance of $432.9 million at March 31, 2015.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

Per the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”), the Company announced on February 12, 2015 that it was offering to repurchase all of the Convertible Notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount, leaving a balance of $0.7 million at March 31, 2015. The Convertible Notes are classified as non-current liabilities at March 31, 2015 as a result of the expiration of the holders' option to require the Company to repurchase the notes on March 15, 2015.

Short-term Credit Agreement

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million loan (the “Loan”) to the Company, the proceeds of which are expected to be used to finance working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, and which has a term of one year. The Loan currently bears interest at a rate equal to an adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of 2.50% (which increases incrementally on the first day of each fiscal quarter commencing July 1, 2015 up to a maximum of 4.50%). Voluntary prepayments of the Loan under the Credit Agreement are permitted without prepayment premium or penalty, subject to notice requirements and payment of accrued interest. The Credit Agreement requires net cash proceeds of debt or equity issuances, bank facilities, asset sales and casualty insurance recoveries (in each case, subject to certain exceptions) to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan. Amounts repaid on the Loan may not be re-borrowed. The Loan is secured by a pledge of the Company’s stock in Wharf Resources (U.S.A.), Inc. and by the grant of security in substantially all of the assets of Wharf and its subsidiaries. If the Loan has not been repaid in full by January 1, 2016, the Company will be required to pledge its equity interests in certain of its other subsidiaries as additional collateral for the Loan. There was an outstanding balance of $50.0 million under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2015.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require (i) the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt (net of cash) to adjusted EBITDA to be not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time, and (ii) that the Company maintain cash and cash equivalents of at least $100.0 million at all times. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the adjusted EBITDA covenant is determined using actual 2015 results on an annualized basis and has been calculated on a pro forma basis to include the impact of the Wharf acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2015.

Lines of Credit

At March 31, 2015, San Bartolomé had two outstanding lines of credit. The first line of credit is for $12.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, maturing in 270 days. The second line of credit is for $15.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, maturing in three years. Both lines of credit are secured with machinery and equipment. There was an aggregate outstanding balance of $18.2 million on both lines of credit at March 31, 2015.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation

On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico.

The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold, or 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight year period. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $412 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement are made in cash or gold bullion. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $10.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015, payments had been made on a total of 327,586 ounces of gold with further payments to be made on an additional 72,414 ounces of gold.

The Company used an implicit interest rate of 30.5% to discount the original royalty obligation, based on the fair value of the consideration received projected over the expected future cash flows at inception of the obligation. The discounted obligation is accreted to its expected future value over the expected minimum payment period based on the implicit interest rate. The Company recognized accretion expense of $2.0 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was $29.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Labor Union Contracts

The Company maintains a labor agreement with Sindicato de Trabajadores Mineros de la Empresa Manquiri S.A. at the San Bartolomé mine in Bolivia. The San Bartolomé mine labor agreement, which became effective January 28, 2010, is currently active and does not have a fixed term. At March 31, 2015, approximately 11% of the Company’s global labor force was covered by this collective bargaining agreement. The Company cannot predict whether this agreement will be renewed on similar terms or at all, whether future labor disruptions will occur or, if disruptions do occur, how long they will last.

Rochester Production Royalties

The Company acquired the Rochester property from ASARCO, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V., in 1983. The Company is obligated to pay a NSR royalty interest to ASARCO when the market price of silver equals or exceeds $23.60 per ounce up to a maximum rate of 5% with the condition that Rochester achieves positive cash flow for the applicable year. If cash flow at Rochester is negative in any calendar year, the maximum royalty payable is $250,000. Royalty expense was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Commencing January 1, 2014, Coeur Rochester is obligated to pay a 3.4% net smelter returns royalty on up to 39.4 million silver equivalent ounces produced and sold from a portion of the Rochester mine, payable on a quarterly basis. For each calendar quarter, the royalty will be payable on the actual sales prices received (exclusive of gains or losses associated with trading activities), less refining costs, of gold and silver produced and sold from the applicable portions of the Rochester mine. Changes in the Company's mine plan and silver and gold prices result in the recognition of mark-to-market gains or losses in Fair value adjustments, net. At March 31, 2015, payments had been made on 6.1 million silver equivalent ounces with further payments to be made on 33.3 million silver equivalent ounces.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold, or 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight-year period. Please see Note 10 -- Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion on the royalty obligation.

On October 2, 2014, Coeur Mexicana terminated the Palmarejo gold production royalty in exchange for a termination payment of $2.0 million, effective upon completion of the minimum ounce delivery requirement. Subsequently, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation whereby Coeur Mexicana will sell 50% of Palmarejo gold production upon completion of the gold production royalty minimum ounce delivery requirement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. Under the gold stream agreement, Coeur Mexicana will receive an aggregate $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement, payable in five quarterly payments. The first payment of $5.0 million was received in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Sites Related to Callahan Mining Corporation

In 1991, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Callahan Mining Corporation. The Company has received requests for information or notices of potential liability from state or federal agencies with regard to Callahan's operations at sites in Maine, Colorado and Washington. The Company did not make any decisions with respect to generation, transport or disposal of hazardous waste at these sites. Therefore, the Company believes that it is not liable for any potential cleanup costs either directly as an operator or indirectly as a parent. The Company anticipates that further agency interaction may occur with respect to these sites.

Callahan operated a mine and mill in Brooksville, Maine from 1968 until 1972 and subsequently disposed of the property. In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, made a formal request to the Company for information regarding the site. The site was placed on the National Priorities List on September 5, 2002, and the Maine Department of Transportation, a partial owner of the property, signed a consent order in 2005. In January 2009, the EPA and the State of Maine made additional formal requests to the Company for information relating to the site, to which the Company responded. The first phase of cleanup at the site began in April 2011.

The Van Stone Mine in Stevens County, Washington consists of several parcels of land and was mined from 1926 until 1993 by multiple owners. Callahan sold its parcel in 1990. In February 2010, the State of Washington Department of Ecology notified Callahan that it, among others, is a potentially liable person (PLP) under Washington law.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Under lease and option agreements with several owners, Callahan was involved with the Akron Mine located in Gunnison County, Colorado from 1937-1960. The United States Forest Service (“USFS”) made formal requests for information to Callahan regarding the site in December 2003, February 2007, March 2013, and November 2013. Callahan timely responded to each request. In August 2014, Callahan received a notice of potential CERCLA liability from the USFS regarding environmental contamination at the Akron Mine. Callahan and the USFS are currently in discussions regarding this matter.

Bolivian Temporary Restriction on Mining above 4,400 Meters

On October 14, 2009, the Bolivian state-owned mining organization, COMIBOL, announced by resolution that it was temporarily suspending mining activities above the elevation of 4,400 meters above sea level while stability studies of Cerro Rico mountain are undertaken. The Company holds rights to mine above this elevation under valid contracts with COMIBOL as well as under authorized contracts with local mining cooperatives that hold their rights under contract themselves with COMIBOL. The Company temporarily adjusted its mine plan to confine mining activities to the ore deposits below 4,400 meters above sea level and timely notified COMIBOL of the need to lift the restriction. Mining in other areas above the 4,400 meter level continues to be suspended.

The suspension may reduce production until the Company is able to resume mining above 4,400 meters. It is uncertain at this time how long the suspension will remain in place. If COMIBOL decides to restrict access above the 4,400 meter level on a permanent basis, the Company may need to write down the carrying value of the asset. It is also uncertain if any new mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may affect mining in Bolivia.

Paramount Transaction Litigation

Since the announcement of the Company’s acquisition of Paramount, six lawsuits have been filed related to the merger agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuits assert a variety of causes of action concerning the transaction, including claims against Paramount’s directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the proposed transaction, and claims against the Company for allegedly aiding and abetting such breaches of fiduciary duty. On February 18, 2015, the court entered an order consolidating the lawsuits and providing that the consolidated case shall be captioned In re Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. Stockholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 10499-VCN. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these or any other lawsuits that might be filed subsequent to the date hereof relating to the transaction, nor can the Company predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these lawsuits. The Company intends to defend vigorously against these consolidated actions.

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 17, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount"). At the closing of the transaction, Paramount became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Company issued approximately 32.7 million shares of common stock as consideration in the transaction. Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition, Paramount spun off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly traded company, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. ("SpinCo"), which owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. As part of the transaction, the Company made a loan to Paramount in the principal amount of $8.5 million and Paramount contributed substantially all of the proceeds of such loan to SpinCo as an equity contribution. The Company also paid $1.5 million cash in exchange for newly issued shares of SpinCo common stock amounting to 4.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common stock after the issuance.

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

The following discussion provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Company", "our", or "we"). We use certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in our MD&A such as costs applicable to sales, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted net income (loss). For a detailed description of each of these non-GAAP measures, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" at the end of this item. We believe it is important to read this item in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are a large silver producer with significant gold production from mines located in the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia; exploration projects in Mexico and Argentina; and streaming and royalty interests in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, and New Zealand. The Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Kensington, Rochester, and Wharf mines, each of which is operated by the Company, and Coeur Capital, primarily comprised of the Endeavor silver stream constitute our principal sources of revenue. The Company also owns other precious metal royalties.

Our strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines and acquire precious metal streaming and royalty interests that together produce long-term cash flow, provide opportunities for growth through continued exploration, and generate superior and sustainable returns for stockholders. Management focuses on maximizing net cash flow through identifying and implementing revenue enhancement opportunities, reducing operating and non-operating costs, consistent capital discipline, and efficient management of working capital.

Consolidated Performance

Net loss was $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to Net loss of $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The lower Net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily due to higher silver equivalent ounce production and sales, lower gold costs applicable to sales, general and administrative expense, and amortization, and less unfavorable fair value adjustments, partially offset by lower average silver and gold prices, higher silver costs applicable to sales, and higher income tax expense.

The Company produced 3.8 million ounces of silver and 69,734 ounces of gold in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 4.1 million ounces of silver and 58,836 ounces of gold in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Silver production decreased due to lower throughput and grade at Palmarejo and lower grade at San Bartolomé, partially offset by higher tons placed at Rochester. Gold production increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to higher grade at Kensington and the acquisition of Wharf.

Costs applicable to sales were $14.32 per silver equivalent ounce and $798 per gold ounce in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $13.22 per silver equivalent ounce and $1,005 per gold ounce in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to higher unit costs at Palmarejo and San Bartolomé. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to lower unit costs at Kensington.

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenue

Metal sales decreased by $7.7 million, or 4.8%, to $151.0 million due to lower average realized silver and gold prices, partially offset by higher silver and gold ounces sold. The Company realized average silver and gold prices of $16.77 per ounce and $1,204 per ounce, respectively, compared with average realized prices of $20.29 per ounce and $1,279 per ounce, respectively. The Company sold 4.1 million silver ounces and 68,420 gold ounces, compared to sales of 3.9 million silver ounces and 62,578 gold ounces. Silver contributed 45% of sales and gold contributed 55%, compared to 50% of sales from both silver and gold. Royalty revenue increased $1.0 million due to higher production from the El Gallo and Cerro Bayo mines, as well as commencement of production at the Correnso mine.

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased by $8.2 million, or 7.6%, to $115.1 million. The increase in costs applicable to sales is primarily due to higher silver and gold ounces sold and inventory adjustments to net realizable value at Palmarejo. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization decreased by $7.4 million, or 18.2%, primarily due to lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment as a result of the 2014 write-downs.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 36.4%, primarily due to lower outside services and certain corporate relocation costs in 2014.

Exploration expense was consistent with the prior year, with increased 2015 costs at Kensington to support the new mine plan offset by lower spending at Rochester.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased 3.2% to $6.8 million, primarily due to La Preciosa feasibility study costs in 2014, partly offset by Wharf acquisition costs.

Other Income and Expenses

Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, including other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, were a loss of $6.4 million compared to a loss of $14.0 million, primarily due to the impact of changes in future metal prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty and the Rochester 3.4% NSR royalty obligation.

Interest income and other, net decreased by $1.0 million to expense of $1.0 million, compared to expense of $2.0 million, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.7 million) decreased to $10.8 million from $13.1 million primarily due to the write-off of costs associated with the termination of a former revolving credit facility in 2014.

Income and Mining Taxes

The Company reported an income and mining tax expense of approximately $0.1 million compared to income and mining tax benefit of $4.7 million. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:



	Three months ended March 31, 2015						Three months ended March 31, 2014
In thousands	Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit			Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit
United States	$	(20,707	)	$	1,886		$	(28,686	)	$	(146	)
Argentina	(696		)	(1		)	(2,204		)	4,432
Mexico	(9,672		)	(1,264		)	(16,006		)	3,721

	$	(33,219	)	$	(68	)	$	(41,880	)	$	4,689

In both periods, the Company recorded tax expense that differs from an amount calculated at the statutory rate primarily due to (i) a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets relating to losses incurred in the United States and certain foreign locations, (ii) the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on deferred tax account balances, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and foreign earnings not considered as permanently reinvested with respect to certain foreign locations, and (iii) differences in foreign tax rates of its foreign locations. In conjunction with these items, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income and loss result in significant fluctuations in its consolidated effective tax rate.

Silver production decreased due to lower grade and mill throughput, resulting in metal sales of $1.9 million compared to $2.9 million. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased due to the impact of lower silver prices on the Company's silver price sharing agreement with the Endeavor mine operator. Royalty revenue was $1.5 million compared to $1.0 million primarily due to increased production at Cerro Bayo and El Gallo. Amortization was $2.2 million compared to $1.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $4.0 million, compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and was impacted by the following key factors:



	Three months ended March 31,

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(16,281		)	(8,082		)
CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES	$	(3,972	)	$	(9,627	)

Cash used in operating activities decreased $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to higher silver and gold ounces sold, partially offset by lower averaged realized silver and gold prices and higher costs applicable to sales per silver ounce. Metal sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $18.1 million lower due to lower average realized price per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by $10.4 million due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold. The $14.4 million working capital requirement for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to payment of accrued interest, payroll, and other benefits compared to the $24.5 million working capital requirement for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was primarily due to higher leach tons placed at Rochester.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $121.4 million compared to $58.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the acquisition of the Wharf gold mine and higher capital expenditures in 2015, partly offset by purchases of short-term investments in 2014. The Company spent $17.6 million on capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with $11.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily related to underground development of the Guadalupe deposit at Palmarejo, underground development at Kensington, and land purchases at Rochester, compared to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $34.1 million compared to $134.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a $50 million credit agreement, partly offset by the repurchase of $4.6 million of 3.25% Convertible Notes due 2028 and $2.0 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily the result of the follow-on offering of $150 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require (i) the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt (net of cash) to adjusted EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) to be not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time, and (ii) that the Company maintain cash and cash equivalents of at least $100.0 million at all times. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, adjusted EBITDA (generally, earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other extraordinary or non-recurring losses or charges) is determined using actual 2015 results on an annualized basis and has been calculated on a pro forma basis to include the impact of the Wharf acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Because the Company’s earnings are dependent upon prevailing metals prices, among other factors, a further sustained decline in metals prices could significantly

impact earnings for a particular period, and, as a result, the Company’s ability to comply with the Leverage Ratio covenant. Any failure to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement (subject to any applicable cure period) would constitute an event of default, giving the lender the right to exercise remedies under the Credit Agreement, including accelerating the Loan. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2015.

Other Liquidity Matters

The Company asserts that its earnings from the Palmarejo operation are permanently reinvested. Therefore, no provision has been made for United States federal and state income taxes on the Company's tax basis differences in Mexico, which primarily relate to accumulated foreign earnings that have been reinvested and are expected to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. The Company does not believe that the amounts permanently reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.

The Company may elect to defer some capital investment activities or to secure additional capital to ensure it maintains sufficient liquidity. In addition, if the Company decides to pursue the acquisition of additional mineral interests, new capital projects, or acquisitions of new properties, mines or companies, additional financing activities may be necessary. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available when or if needed upon acceptable terms, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

Please see Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains numerous forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) relating to the Company’s gold and silver mining business, including statements regarding strategies to produce long-term cash flow, provide opportunities for growth through continued exploration, and generate superior and sustainable returns for stockholders, maximizing net cash flow, reducing operating and non-operating costs, consistent capital discipline, efficient management of working capital, liquidity maintenance efforts and the ability to comply with debt covenants.. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates” or similar words. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include (i) the risk factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2014 10-K and the risks and uncertainties discussed in this MD&A, (ii) the risk that the anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions are not realized, (iii) the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), (iv) changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price environment, including the resulting impact on cash flows and debt covenant compliance, (v) the uncertainties inherent in the Company’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground conditions and grade variability, (vi) any future labor disputes or work stoppages (involving the Company and its subsidiaries or third parties), (vii) the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver reserves and mineralized material, (viii) changes that could result from the Company’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, (ix) the absence of control over and reliance on third parties to operate mines in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations (including results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks, and changes in mine plans and project parameters); (x) the loss of access to any third-party smelter to which the Company markets silver and gold, (xi) the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, (xii) the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, and (xiii) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company's operating performance, and to plan and forecast its operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Management's determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and are based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.

Net income (loss) is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) in the table below, with amounts presented after-tax:

Adjusted net income (loss) per share	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.18	)

Costs Applicable to Sales and All-in Sustaining Costs

Management uses Costs applicable to sales ("CAS") and All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and life of mine performance from discovery through reclamation. We believe these measures assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing silver and gold and assessing our operating performance and ability to generate free cash flow from operations. These measures may not be indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Management believes converting the benefit from selling gold into silver equivalent ounces (silver to gold ratio of 60:1) best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS and AISC differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit rather than converting to silver equivalent ounces, differences in the determination of sustaining capital expenditures, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations and engages in risk management strategies to mitigate these risks. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. This discussion of the Company's market risk assessments contains "forward looking statements" that contain risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.

Gold and Silver Price

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

Gold and Silver Hedging

To mitigate the risks associated with gold and silver price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. At March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on 2.7 million ounces of silver. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are $17.00 per ounce and $15.50 per ounce, respectively.

The put spread contracts are generally net cash settled and expire during the second quarter of 2015. At March 31, 2015, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $1.5 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the price of silver and gold at March 31, 2015 would result in gains of nil and $4.1 million on settlement, respectively.

Provisional Gold and Silver Sales

The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters which generally provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. Depending on the difference between the price at the time of sale and the final settlement price, embedded derivatives are recorded as either a derivative asset or liability. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, are marked to the market gold and silver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Changes in silver and gold pricing resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gains of $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.5 million ounces of silver and 33,084 ounces of gold at prices of $16.67 and $1,224, respectively. A 10% change in realized silver price would cause revenue to vary approximately $0.9 million and a 10% change in realized gold price would cause revenue to vary approximately $4.0 million.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties and includes a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month which terminates when payments in respect of 400,000 gold ounces have been made. The minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument due to the impact of fluctuating gold prices on the underlying gold ounces.

As of March 31, 2015, a total of 72,414 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was 7.6% at March 31, 2015. The fair value of the embedded derivative at March 31, 2015 was a liability of $19.3 million. A 10% change in the price of gold would result in a change in the fair value of the net derivative liability at March 31, 2015 to vary by approximately $7.7 million.

Foreign Currency

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

Foreign Currency Hedging

To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into forward foreign currency contracts and option contracts when the Company believes such contracts would be beneficial. The Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2015.

Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 11 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures
