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.
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.
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. In June 2021, the Company updated the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
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 rollforward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

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 17). 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 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 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”). 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 Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued 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.

NOTE 3 –
SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. The Silvertip mine, which temporarily suspended mining and processing activities in February 2020, is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production 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.
In June 2021, Silvertip repurchased from Silvertip Resources Investment Cayman Ltd. for consideration of $7.0 million a net smelter returns royalty of 1.429% on the first 1,434,000 metric tonnes of mineralized material mined, and 1.00% thereafter.
The 2019 novel strain of coronavirus causing a contagious respiratory disease known as COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, poses a material risk to Coeur’s business and operations and the Company expects costs associated with its COVID-19 mitigation and response efforts at each of its operations to continue.
Incremental costs associated with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols are recorded in Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are included in Other operating expenses in the table below. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operating segments. However, these effects could have a material impact on our operations, and Coeur will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

On January 4, 2021, the Company completed the sale of
83,556
shares of common stock of Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla”) (“Metalla Common Shares”) at an average price (net of commission) of $11.19 per Metalla Common Share for net proceeds of $
0.9
million, resulting in a realized gain of $
0.8
million.
On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Orion Co-VI Ltd. (“Orion”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Orion sold
11,067,714
common shares of Victoria Gold Corp., a British Columbia company (“Victoria”) (representing approximately
17.8
% of Victoria’s outstanding common shares) to the Company. As consideration for the purchase of Victoria shares, Coeur issued
12,785,485
shares of its common stock (approximately
4.9
% of issued and outstanding shares) to Orion.
The Exchange Agreement provides 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 pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires 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. See Note 12 -- Fair Value Measurements and Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments for additional details.

2029 Senior Notes
In March 2021, the Company completed an offering of $
375.0
million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for net proceeds of approximately $
367.5
million (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, certain of the Company's subsidiaries named therein, as guarantors thereto (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of
5.125
% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2021. The 2029 Senior Notes will mature on February 15, 2029 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.
At any time prior to February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon, to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes on or after February 15, 2024, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. 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.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability under certain circumstances to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, make loans and investments, create liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting the Company's subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends and impose conditions on the Company’s ability to engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of its assets. The Indenture also contains certain “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) customary for indentures of this type. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the 2029 Senior Notes to be due and payable.
2024 Senior Notes
Concurrent with the offering of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase the outstanding $
230.0
million in aggregate principal amount of its
5.875
% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). The Tender Offer was made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 22, 2021. The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 26, 2021 (the “Expiration Time”). Holders of the 2024 Senior Notes who tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their notes at or prior to the Expiration Time were entitled to receive in cash $
1,029.38
per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Senior Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by the Company in the Tender Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such 2024 Senior Notes. $
102.8
million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes were validly tendered and purchased by the Company on March 1, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes, the remaining $
127.2
million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes were redeemed on March 31, 2021 at the redemption price specified in the indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes ($
1,029.38
per $1,000 principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest). The Company recorded a loss of $
9.2
million as a result of the extinguishment of the 2024 Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility
On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a fifth amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017 (as previously 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 and Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, the Bank of Nova Scotia and ING Capital LLC, as lenders.

300.0
million, in an aggregate amount of up to $
100.0

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $
15.3
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of
32.3
%. This compares to income tax expense of
2.8
million for an effective tax rate of 173.9% during the second quarter of 2020. 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) mining taxes; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) foreign exchange rates; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) the non-recognition of tax assets; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. 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 2020 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 2016 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2011 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 between $
0.5
million and $
1.5
million in the next twelve months.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $
0.3
million and $
0.7
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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $
0.4
million and $
1.1
million, respectively.
NOTE 11 –
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $
3.3
million and $
7.5
million, respectively, compared to $
2.3
million and $
4.3
million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2021, there was $
15.6
million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of
1.7
years.

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:

As described in Note 6 -
Investments
, the Exchange Agreement provides 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 expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires 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 derivatives 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. As the model inputs are estimated based on observable and unobservable data, the Company classifies this embedded derivative in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a change in these unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and liabilities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 13 –
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES
20
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
Exchange Agreement Embedded Derivative
The Exchange Agreement provides 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 expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires 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.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
21
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:

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 June 30, 2021, the Company had $
7.5
million of net after-tax gain in AOCI related to losses from cash flow hedge transactions, of
which $
7.4
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 and the Canadian and Mexican exchange rates for foreign currency 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.

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 the Company’s common stock 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 and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were
1,553,030
and
1,558,030
common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. Similarly,
1,816,332
and
3,205,676
common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mexico Litigation Matters
Included in non-current receivables as of June 30, 2021 are $
26.6
million 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. Under the royalty agreement, 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). Some of this litigation has been determined unfavorably to Coeur Mexicana based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are erroneous and which are now under appeal. In the event Coeur Mexicana is unsuccessful with these appeals, Coeur Mexicana may elect to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the VAT receivable, Coeur Mexicana may continue to experience delays or obstacles in the recovery of VAT and it is possible that some or all of the VAT receivable may not ultimately be recovered as outcomes in Mexican courts or NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in litigation or NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable. The continued failure to recover the VAT receivable may result in the Company recording a reserve against some or all of this amount, which, if material, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
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 June 30, 2021 the remaining unamortized balance was $
8.8
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. The remaining deliveries of $
15.0
million under the June 2021 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 31, 2021.
Silvertip Contingent Consideration
During the first half of 2020, the Company made a payment of $
25.0
million in the form of $
18.8
million in cash and
0.9
million shares of common stock to satisfy a contingent consideration payment due in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company’s Silvertip property. For more details, please see Note 21 -- Commitments and Contingencies in the 2020 10-K.
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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had surety bonds totaling $
312.3
million and $
311.9
million, respectively, in place as

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) 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. For a detailed description of these measures, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures” at the end of this Item. We provide
Costs applicable to sales
(“CAS”) split, referred to as the co-product method, based on revenue contribution for Palmarejo, Rochester and Silvertip and based on the primary metal, referred to as the by-product method, for Wharf. Revenue from secondary metal, such as silver at Wharf, is treated as a cost credit.
Overview
We are primarily a gold and silver producer with five mines located in the United States, Mexico and Canada and several exploration projects in North America.
Second Quarter Highlights
For the quarter, Coeur reported revenue of $214.9 million and cash flow from operating activities of $58.1 million. We reported GAAP net income of $32.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis

, the Company reported EBITDA of $52.7 million and net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.00 per diluted share. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Coeur reported revenue of $417.0 million and cash flow from operating activities of $53.7 million. We reported GAAP net income of $34.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis
1
, the Company reported EBITDA of $118.6 million and net income of $13.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share.
•
Quarterly revenue and cash flow growth
– Revenue increased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 39% year-over-year due to higher gold and silver ounces sold and a higher average realized silver price. Operating cash flow improved by $62.4 million quarter-over-quarter and $48.1 million year-over-year to $58.1 million
•
Higher quarterly production and stronger expected second half
– Gold production increased 2% quarter-over-quarter to 87,275 ounces led by a 27% improvement at Wharf, while silver production of 2.6 million ounces was 8% higher largely due to a 15% increase at Rochester. Year-over-year, gold and silver production increased 12% and 60%, respectively, driven by increases at Palmarejo and Rochester. Production levels are expected to continue climbing in the second half of the year and be within the Company’s full-year guidance of 322,500 - 367,500 ounces of gold and 9.7 - 12.2 million ounces of silver
•
New quarterly drilling record from largest exploration campaign in Company history
– A new quarterly record was achieved during the period with the completion of approximately 320,400 feet (97,675 meters) of drilling and 27 currently active drill rigs. Investment in exploration totaled approximately $18.6 million ($12.4 million expensed and $6.2 million capitalized) in the quarter with significant increases in drilling activity at Palmarejo and Rochester as well as the Crown district in southern Nevada
•
Rochester expansion progressing according to schedule
– Coeur advanced major construction on the Plan of Operations Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) expansion at Rochester on schedule, with solid ongoing environmental and safety performance. Placement of over-liner material on the new Stage VI leach pad commenced approximately six weeks ahead of schedule, and concrete foundation work for the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crusher corridor is scheduled to begin in the third quarter. Overall project progress was approximately 31% complete at the end of the second quarter
•
Accelerating investment at Silvertip based on positive results
– The Company is increasing its investment at Silvertip during the second half of 2021 to complete several surface projects to support a potential restart of active mining and processing activities in 2023
•
Strategic investment in Victoria
– Coeur acquired a 17.8% ownership interest in Victoria Gold Corp. (“Victoria”) during the second quarter for consideration of approximately $118.8 million. Victoria owns and operates the new open pit, heap leach Eagle gold mine located in central Yukon Territory, Canada. The investment is consistent with the Company’s strategy and complements its existing portfolio of gold and silver assets located in high-quality jurisdictions

Consolidated Financial Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue
Revenue increased by $60.6 million, or 39%, as a result of a 1% and 64% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively and higher gold and silver ounces sold (14% and 59%, respectively). In 2020, production was impacted by the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo due to a government decree in response to COVID-19. We sold 88,501 gold ounces and 2.6 million silver ounces, compared to 77,933 gold ounces and 1.6 million silver ounces in the prior year. Gold and silver accounted for 68% and 32% of second quarter 2021 sales revenue, respectively. This compares to gold and silver accounting for 83% and 17% of second quarter 2020 sales revenue, respectively.

Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales increased $42.6 million, or 47%, primarily due to higher ounces sold resulting from the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo in 2020 and a non-cash inventory charge of $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency hedges. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see
Results of Operations
below.
Amortization
Amortization increased $4.1 million, or 15%, primarily due higher ounces sold resulting from the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo in 2020.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 21%, primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation costs.
Exploration expense increased $0.6 million, or 5%, attributable to ramp up of drilling activity at Palmarejo and Crown as well as the continuation of expansion and infill programs across the rest of the Company’s portfolio. The Company completed 184,700 feet (56,300 meters) of expansion drilling and 135,900 feet (41,375 meters) of infill drilling in the second quarter of 2021 compared 160,680 feet (48,976 meters) of expansion drilling and 33,363 feet (10,169 meters) of infill drilling in the second quarter of 2020.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased $5.9 million, or 32%, stemming from lower costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols and one-time costs at Silvertip including a $2.1 million write down of obsolete supply inventory in 2020.

Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $37.2 million compared to $10.1 million, as a result of favorable changes in value related to the Company’s recent investment in Victoria. The estimated fair values of the Company’s equity investments in Victoria and Integra were $164.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $1.8 million) decreased to $5.1 million from $5.8 million due to higher capitalized interest associated with the POA 11 project at Rochester, and lower interest paid under the RCF, partially offset by higher interest paid under the 2029 Senior Notes compared to the 2024 Senior Notes.
Other, net increased to a gain of $0.7 million compared to $0.1 million due to an increase in gains on the sale of assets.

Income and Mining Taxes
During the second quarter of 2021, income and mining tax expense of approximately $15.3 million resulted in an effective tax rate of 32.3% for 2021. This compares to income tax expense of $2.8 million or effective tax rate of 173.9% for 2020. 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) mining taxes; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) foreign exchange rates; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) the non-recognition of tax assets; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. 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 will ultimately 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 “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the 2020 10-K.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $32.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share. The increase in net income was driven a 1% and 64% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher gold and silver ounces sold (14% and 59%, respectively), favorable changes in value related to the Company’s recent investment in Victoria and lower costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Also, in 2020, production was impacted by the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo. This was partially offset by higher exploration and income and mining tax expense. Adjusted net loss was $0.8 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.6 million, or $0.01 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue
Revenue increased by $89.6 million, or 27%, as a result of a 6% and 60% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, and higher gold and silver ounces sold (5% and 16%, respectively). In 2020, production was impacted by the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo due to a government decree in response to COVID-19. We sold 171,613 gold ounces and 5.0 million silver ounces, compared to 163,568 gold ounces, 4.3 million silver ounces, 3.2 million zinc pounds and 2.5 million lead pounds in the prior year. Gold and silver accounted for 68% and 32% of 2021 sales revenue, respectively. This compares to gold and silver accounting for 78% and 21% of first quarter 2020 sales revenue, respectively, with zinc and lead accounting for the remaining 2020 sales revenue.

Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales increased $31.8 million, or 15%, primarily due to higher ounces sold resulting from the 2020 temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo and Silvertip and a non-cash inventory charge of $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad, partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency hedges. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see
Results of Operations
below.
Amortization
Amortization decreased $2.1 million, or 3%, primarily due to the 2020 temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo and Silvertip and longer assumed mine life based on year-end 2020 mineral reserve growth at Palmarejo, partially offset by higher ounces sold.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million, or 26%, primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation costs.
Exploration expense increased $3.9 million, or 21%, as the Company maintained its commitment to a higher-level of exploration investment following the completion of the largest and most successful drilling campaign in Coeur’s history during 2020. The Company completed 313,300 feet (95,525 meters) of expansion drilling and 263,700 feet (80,350 meters) of infill drilling in the first half of 2021 compared 280,151 feet (85,391 meters) of expansion drilling and 83,572 feet (25,473 meters) of infill drilling in the first half of 2020.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased $1.2 million, or 5%, stemming from full-year ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip, partially offset by a gain resulting from the modification of a right of use lease at Silvertip in 2020, lower costs incurred in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols and one-time costs at Silvertip including a $2.1 million write down of obsolete supply inventory in 2020.

During the first half of 2021, the Company incurred a $9.2 million loss in connection with the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes concurrent with the completed offering of the 2029 Senior Notes.
Fair value adjustments, net, increased to a gain of $33.4 million compared to $1.2 million as a result of favorable changes in value related to the Company’s recent investment in Victoria. The estimated fair values of the Company’s equity investments in Victoria and Integra were $164.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $2.6 million) decreased to $10.0 million from $10.9 million due to higher capitalized interest associated with the POA 11 project at Rochester, and lower interest paid under the RCF, partially offset by higher interest paid under the 2029 Senior Notes compared to the 2024 Senior Notes.
Other, net increased to a gain of $4.3 million compared to $2.0 million due to an increase in gains on the sale of assets.
Income and Mining Taxes
During the first half of 2021, income and mining tax expense of approximately $28.1 million resulted in an effective tax rate of 45.1% for 2021. This compares to income tax benefit of $1.1 million or effective tax rate of 7.7% for 2020. 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) mining taxes; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) foreign exchange rates; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) the non-recognition of tax assets; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will ultimately 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 “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the 2020 10-K.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $34.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $13.1 million, or $0.05 per share. The increase in net income was driven by a 6% and 60% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher sales of gold and silver (5% and 16%, respectively), favorable changes in value related to the Company’s recent investment in Victoria, and lower operating costs at Silvertip. This was partially offset by higher exploration expense, a $9.2 million loss on debt extinguishment, severance costs and a full-year of ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip and higher income and mining taxes. Adjusted net income was $13.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures”).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Gold and silver production increased 81% and 92%, respectively, as a result of the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo in 2020 due to a government decree in response to COVID-19. Metal sales were $85.0 million, or 40% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $38.0 million, or 25% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $47.1 million or 124%, of which $38.8 million was the result of a higher volume of gold and silver sales and $8.3 million due to higher average realized gold and silver prices. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased 4% while costs applicable to sales per silver ounce increased 62% due to the mix of gold and silver sales, lower gold and silver grades, and higher consumable and maintenance costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency hedges. Amortization increased to $8.3 million due to higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $9.8 million from $4.5 million due to the impact of the 2020 temporary suspension on underground development and infill drilling activities.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Gold and silver production increased 20% and 21%, respectively, as a result of the temporary suspension of active mining operations at Palmarejo in 2020 and higher recoveries, partially offset by lower gold and silver grades. Metal sales were $165.4 million, or 40% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $112.3 million, or 34% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $53.1 million or 47%, of which $28.5 million was the result of higher average realized gold and silver prices, and $24.6 million was due to a higher volume of gold and silver sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased 2% while costs applicable to sales per silver ounce increased 45% due to the mix of gold and silver sales, lower gold and silver grades, and higher consumable and maintenance costs, partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency hedges. Amortization decreased to $17.3 million due to a longer anticipated mine life based on year-end 2020 reserve growth, partially offset by higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $19.8 million from $11.6 million attributable to higher underground development at the La Nacion deposit and the impact of the 2020 temporary suspension on underground development and infill drilling activities.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Gold and silver production increased 40% and 22%, respectively, due to the timing of recoveries, higher gold grade and the restocking of leach pad inventory after the commissioning of the high-pressure grinding roll in 2019, which adversely impacted 2020 gold and silver production. Metal sales were $38.1 million, or 18% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $20.6 million, or 13% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $17.4 million or 84%, of which $9.4 million was the result of a higher volume of gold and silver sales and $8.0 million was due to higher average realized gold and silver prices. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased 18% and 85%, respectively, due to the mix of gold and silver sales, higher consumable costs and a non-cash inventory charge of $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad. Amortization increased to $6.5 million due to higher ounces sold. Capital expenditures increased to $42.3 million from $5.8 million due to the commencement of construction activities related to POA 11 in August 2020.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Gold and silver production increased 27% and 17%, respectively, due to the timing of recoveries, higher gold grade and the restocking of leach pad inventory after the commissioning of the high-pressure grinding roll in 2019, which adversely impacted 2020 gold and silver production. Metal sales were $70.8 million, or 17% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $40.0 million, or 12% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $30.8 million or 77%, of which $15.8 million was the result of a higher volume of gold and silver sales and $15.0 million was the result of higher average realized gold and silver prices. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased 8% and 59%, respectively, due to the mix of gold and silver sales, higher consumable and equipment maintenance costs, and a non-cash inventory charge of $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad. Amortization increased to $10.1 million due to higher ounces sold.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Silvertip temporarily suspended mining and processing activities, unrelated to COVID-19, in February 2020. Operational results in the table above reflect performance prior to the temporary suspension. Ongoing carrying and temporary suspension costs are included in
Pre-development, reclamation, and other.
The Company plans to release an updated mine plan and economic analysis for Silvertip at the end of the year, including additional exploration results, updated engineering and revised capital estimate as well as information regarding the anticipated benefits of the 1,750 tonnes per day flowsheet which will be reflected in a technical report that is expected to be filed in early 2022.
In June 2021, Silvertip repurchased from Silvertip Resources Investment Cayman Ltd. for $7.0 million a net smelter returns royalty of 1.429% on the first 1,434,000 metric tonnes of mineralized material mined, and 1.00% thereafter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2021, the Company had $125.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $265.0 million available under its RCF. Cash and cash equivalents increased $31.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to a 6% and 60% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher gold and silver ounces sold (5% and 16%, respectively), net proceeds of $367.5 million from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, partially offset by the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes for $238.3 million, including premiums, and ongoing carrying costs at Silvertip. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating
40
activities (voluntary or involuntary). To provide additional flexibility to respond to potential downside scenarios, the Company has been able to periodically draw and make repayments under its RCF subsequent to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings and $35.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the RCF, which was amended in March 2021 to allow the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million and extend the maturity to March 2025. Additionally, Coeur established a $100.0 million ATM Program in April 2020 as a means to proactively increase its financial flexibility in response to increased volatility and uncertainty associated with COVID-19. At the date of this filing, the Company has yet to issue any shares of its common stock under the ATM Program and intends to maintain the program during the POA 11 construction.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $58.1 million, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $53.7 million, compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $52.7 million, compared to $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $48.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a 1% and 64% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher ounces sold of gold and silver (14% and 59%, respectively), improved recoveries at Rochester, and a reduction in accounts payable at Silvertip due the temporary suspension in 2020. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $60.6 million, of which $43.0 million was the result of the higher volume of gold and silver sales and $17.6 million was due to higher average realized gold and silver prices.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $51.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a 6% and 60% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher gold and silver ounces sold (5% and 16%, respectively), improved recoveries at Rochester, a reduction in accounts payable at Silvertip due the temporary suspension in 2020, partially offset by a payment of $4.0 million of interest related to the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $89.6 million, of which $57.8 million was the result of higher average realized gold and silver prices and $31.7 million was due to the higher volume of gold and silver sales.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $78.1 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to construction activities related to POA 11 at Rochester in the current period and the impact of the net proceeds of $19.4 million from the sale of Metalla Common Shares in the comparable period of 2020. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $78.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $16.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily related to POA 11 construction activities at Rochester, potential expansion expenditures at Silvertip and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington. Capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to underground development at Silvertip, Palmarejo, and Kensington and POA 11 capital expenditures at Rochester.
41
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $132.1 million compared to $14.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to construction activities related to POA 11 at Rochester in the current period and the impact of the net proceeds of $19.4 million from the sale of Metalla Common Shares in the comparable period of 2020. The Company incurred capital expenditures of $137.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $38.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily related to POA 11 construction activities at Rochester, potential expansion expenditures at Silvertip and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington. Capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to underground development at Silvertip, Palmarejo, and Kensington and POA 11 capital expenditures at Rochester.
Recently-signed construction contracts related to POA 11 have begun demonstrating signs of inflationary pressures, specifically with respect to building materials and fuel as well as overall tightness in the construction market.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.8 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid $9.6 million of principal under outstanding finance leases.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $367.5 million from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, partially offset by the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes for $238.3 million, including premiums. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company drew $150.0 million from the RCF, partially offset by the repayment of $90.0 million under the RCF and the payment of contingent consideration of $18.8 million associated with the Silvertip acquisition.
The Company secured a finance lease package for nearly $60 million during the quarter, a portion of which has been funded as of June 30, 2021. The package is earmarked for planned equipment purchases for the project in 2021 and 2022, and has an interest rate of 5.20%.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments
Please see Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2020 10-K and in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in this Report for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.
Other Liquidity Matters
We believe that our liquidity and capital resources in the U.S. are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities. The Company has asserted indefinite reinvestment of earnings from its Mexican operations as determined by management’s judgment about and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. The Company does not believe that the amounts reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.
In order to reduce indebtedness, future cash interest payments and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption and for general working capital purposes, from time-to-time we may (1) issue equity securities for cash in public or private offerings or (2) repurchase certain of our debt securities for cash or in exchange for other securities, which may include secured or unsecured notes or equity, in each case in open market or privately negotiated transactions. We evaluate any such transactions in light of prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be significant and any debt repurchase transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities’ face amount.
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”). Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below. 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 is based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. The tax effect of adjustments are based on statutory tax rates and the Company’s tax attributes, including the impact through the Company’s valuation allowance. The combined effective rate of tax adjustments may not be consistent with the statutory tax rates or the Company’s effective tax rate due to jurisdictional tax attributes and related valuation allowance impacts which may minimize the tax effect of certain adjustments and may not apply to gains and losses equally.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Management uses
EBITDA
to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company believes the use of
EBITDA
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.
Adjusted EBITDA
is a measure used in indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes and the RCF to determine our ability to make certain payments and incur additional indebtedness.
EBITDA
and
Adjusted EBITDA
do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to,
Net income (Loss)
or
Cash Flow from Operations
as determined under GAAP.
Other companies may calculate
Adjusted EBITDA
differently and those calculations may not be comparable to our presentation.
Adjusted EBITDA

Costs Applicable to Sales
Management uses CAS 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 gold, silver, zinc and lead, assessing our operating performance and ability to generate free cash flow from operations and sustaining production. These measures may not be indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Management believes that allocating CAS to gold, silver, zinc and lead based on gold, silver, zinc and lead metal sales relative to total metal sales best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit, converting to silver equivalent ounces, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 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. Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements”. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 of this Report - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.
Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices
Gold, silver, zinc and lead 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, silver, zinc and lead.
47
Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Hedging
To mitigate the risks associated with gold, silver, zinc and lead price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding Asian put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar contracts on 211,350 ounces of gold at June 30, 2021 that settle monthly through December 2022. The Company is targeting to hedge up to 50% of expected gold production through 2021 and 2022 and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average strike prices on the put and call contracts are $1,618 and $1,979 per ounce of gold, respectively. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the price of gold at the time of the expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. These Asian put and call option contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price exceeds the spot price of a commodity, (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions; and (iii) liquidity risk to the extent counterparties exercise rights to cash collateral for out-of-money hedges under applicable instruments. 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. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2020 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this report.
At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the put and call zero cost collars contracts was a liability of $0.08 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company recognized a loss of $0.4 million related to expired options in
Revenue
and the remaining outstanding options were included in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
. A 10% increase in the price of gold at June 30, 2021 would result in a realized loss of
$6.4 million a
nd 10% decrease would result in a realized gain of
$6.7 million
. As of June 30, 2021, the closing price of gold was $1,763 per ounce. As of July 26, 2021, the closing price of gold was $1,800 per ounce.
Provisional Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners 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. 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, silver, zinc and lead 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. At June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 14,324 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,858. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.7 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Canada, Mexico, 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 and related monetary and fiscal policies. Fluctuations in local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar may significantly impact profitability and cash flow.
Foreign Exchange Hedging
To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts. At June 30, 2021, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to receive $0.8 billion Mexican Pesos at June 30, 2021 with an average exchange rate of 25.28 that settle monthly through December 2021. At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts was a net asset of $7.5 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the Company has recognized a gain of $3.5 million related to expired options in
Cost Applicable to Sales
and
Pre-development, Reclamation and Othe
r, respectively, and an unrealized gain of $7.5 million related to outstanding options in AOCI. A 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rates at June 30, 2021 would result in a realized gain of
$4.1
million or
$8.8
million, respectively.
Interest Rates
Interest Rate Hedging
We may use financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on loans, which exposes us to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.
48
When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps at June 30, 2021.
Investment Risk
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $36.6 million in
Fair value adjustments, net
due to increases in the stock price of those equity securities. At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the equity securities was $174.4 million. A 10% change in realized equity prices would cause unrealized gains to vary by $17.4 million.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such officers concluded that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Item 1A -- Risk Factors of the 2020 10-K sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. Those risk factors have been supplemented and updated in the
Form 10-Q filed for
the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”) and in this Form 10-Q. Except as supplemented and updated below and in the First Quarter 10-Q, the risk factors set forth in the 2020 10-K remain current. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not presently know or that it currently deems immaterial also may impair our business operations.
Our operations may be further disrupted, and our financial results may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, poses a material risk to our business and operations. If a significant portion of our workforce becomes unable to work or travel to our operations due to illness or state or federal government restrictions (including travel restrictions and “shelter-in-place” and similar orders restricting certain activities that may be issued or extended by authorities), we may be forced to reduce or suspend operations at one or more of our mines, which occurred at our Palmarejo complex in the second quarter of 2020 and at the Kensington mine in the third quarter of 2020, which could reduce production, limit exploration activities and development projects and impact liquidity and financial results. In addition, we have implemented several initiatives to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities during this pandemic, including COVID-19 testing, site access symptom checks, contact tracing technology and procuring additional disinfectant and sanitation products and personal protective equipment for our employees, among others, some of which have and may result in additional costs to us.
Illnesses or government restrictions, including the closure of national borders, related to COVID-19 also may disrupt the supply of raw goods, equipment, supplies and services upon which our operations rely. We also continue to monitor legislative initiatives in the U.S., Mexico and Canada to provide relief to businesses impacted by COVID-19 to determine their potential impacts or benefits (if any) to our business.
Third parties with whom we conduct business, including the refiners and smelters that, process and, in some cases, purchase the gold and silver doré and gold, silver, zinc and lead concentrate produced by our mines, are also subject to these risks and may be required to reduce or suspend operations, which could impact our ability to conduct our operations, advance exploration, development and expansion projects, sell our products and generate revenues.
We may be subject to litigation if one or more employees or contractors contract COVID-19 at work or litigation initiated by stockholders who view decisions by the Board of Directors or management as inconsistent with duties to the Company under Delaware law or who may assert claims under federal securities laws. We understand that, as indicated by sharp increases in average premiums for director and officer insurance policies in recent months, insurers expect increased litigation relating to COVID-19.
The jurisdictions in which we operate have and may in the future continue to encounter financial difficulties resulting from one or both of lower tax revenue and new and increased costs related to COVID-19. As a result, national, state or local governments may seek to raise existing taxes or introduce new taxes that affect our business, which may adversely affect our business and financial results. For example, in Nevada, where the Rochester mine, Sterling/Crown project and Lincoln Hill project are located, in response to a significant loss of tourism and gaming revenue during 2020, in June 2021 the Governor signed into law a new excise tax on gross proceeds derived from mining gold and silver.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section as well as those contained in the 2020 10-K, such as those relating to our operations and indebtedness and financing. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate the full impact of the pandemic on our business. However, these effects could have a material impact on our operations, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
Continuation of our mining operations is dependent on the availability of sufficient and affordable water supplies.
Our mining operations require significant quantities of water for mining, ore processing and related support facilities. In particular, our properties in Mexico and Nevada are in areas where water is scarce and competition among users for continuing access to water is significant. Continuous production and mine development is dependent on our ability to acquire
50
and maintain water rights and claims and to defeat claims adverse to current water uses in legal proceedings. Although each of our operating mines currently has sufficient water rights and claims to cover its operational demands, we cannot predict the potential outcome of pending or future legal proceedings relating to enforcement of water rights, claims and uses, or potential pressure from other users of water, government agencies and officials, and/or non-governmental organizations to limit the amount of water made available to or used for mining activities, regardless of legally valid water rights. Water shortages may also result from weather or environmental and climate impacts outside of our control. Shortages in water supply could result in production and processing interruptions. In addition, the scarcity of water in certain regions could result in increased costs to obtain sufficient quantities of water to conduct our operations. The loss of some or all water rights, ongoing litigation to enforce existing water rights, ongoing shortages of water to which we have rights and/or significantly higher costs to obtain sufficient quantities of water could result in our inability to maintain production at current or expected levels, require us to curtail or shut down mining operations and could prevent us from pursuing expansion or development opportunities, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Laws and regulations may be introduced in some jurisdictions in which we operate which could also limit access to sufficient water resources, adversely affecting our existing operations or our expansion or development plans.
Significant investment risks and operational costs are associated with exploration and development activities. These risks and costs may result in higher costs, lower economic returns and may adversely affect our business.
Our ability to sustain or increase current production levels depends in part on successful exploration and development of new ore bodies and expansion of existing mining operations. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves, to extract metals from ores and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities.
Our plans include several significant projects to construct or upgrade mining and processing facilities at our existing mining operations, including the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester and the POA 1 planned mine life extension at Kensington, and future plans to develop the Sterling/Crown and Lincoln Hill projects. These projects can take up to several months or years to complete, are complex and require significant capital expenditures. These projects are subject to significant risks, including delays, extreme weather events, unexpected increases in the cost of required materials, including as a result of inflation, and disputes with third-party providers of materials, equipment or services, and a completed project may not yield the anticipated operational or financial benefit, any of which may have a material negative impact on returns on invested capital, operating costs or cash flows.
Mineral exploration involves many risks and is frequently unproductive. Even if mineral deposits are found, those deposits may be insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production, or it may take a number of years until production is possible, during which time the economic viability of the project may change. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit, once developed, depends on a number of factors, including: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; government regulations including taxes, royalties and land tenure; land use; importing and exporting of minerals; environmental protection; mineral prices; and issuance and maintenance of necessary permits. Factors that affect adequacy of infrastructure include: reliability of roads, bridges, power sources and water supply; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena; sabotage; and government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure. All of these factors are highly cyclical. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination may result in not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
In addition, exploration projects, such as the La Preciosa, Sterling/Crown and Lincoln Hill projects may have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Exploration project items such as estimates of reserves, metal recoveries and cash operating costs are to a large extent based upon the interpretation of geologic data, obtained from a limited number of drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies. Estimates of operating costs are then derived based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, comparable facility and equipment costs, anticipated climate conditions and other factors. As a result, actual operating costs and economic returns of any and all exploration projects may materially differ from the costs and returns estimated, and accordingly, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected.
The Company’s effective tax rate could be volatile and materially change as a result of changes in tax laws, mix of earnings and other factors; we may be negatively impacted by new tax legislation.
We are subject to tax laws in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. U.S. President Biden’s administration (the “Administration”) has called for changes to fiscal and tax policies, which may include comprehensive tax reform.
The Administration has previously proposed an increase in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%, doubling the rate of tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries, a 15% minimum tax on worldwide book income, and other
51
various tax law changes.
If any or all of these (or similar) proposals are enacted into law, in whole or in part, they could have a negative impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
Currently, the Company incurs losses in certain countries where it does not receive a financial statement benefit, and the Company operates in countries which have different statutory rates. Consequently, changes in the mix and source of earnings between countries could have a material impact on the Company’s overall effective tax rate.
In addition, new tax legislation in certain jurisdictions where we operate could negatively affect us. For example, in Nevada, where the Rochester mine, Sterling/Crown project and Lincoln Hill project are located, in response to a significant loss of tourism and gaming revenue during 2020, in June 2021 the Governor signed into law a new excise tax on gross proceeds derived from mining gold and silver. In addition, there have been recent proposals by elected officials in Mexico for even more significant increases in mining taxes, although it is unclear whether those proposals will result in legislation. It is difficult to predict whether proposed changes to tax laws in the jurisdictions where we operate will be passed and if passed, the impact of those changes on the Company. Any additional taxes imposed on us could adversely affect our financial condition.
