Highlights

  • As announced on January 5, 2017, Coeur achieved record production of 3.9 million ounces of silver and 102,500 ounces of gold, or 10.0 million silver equivalent ounces (AgEqOz)1, for the fourth quarter and 14.8 million ounces of silver and 358,170 ounces of gold, or 36.3 million AgEqOz1 for the full year
  • For Coeur's primary silver operations, CAS and adjusted CAS per average spot AgEqOz1 were $11.42 and $11.34, respectively, for the fourth quarter and $11.12 and $10.99 for the full year. The full-year figures represented 10% and 7% year-over-year declines, respectively
  • For Coeur's primary gold operations, fourth quarter CAS and adjusted CAS per gold equivalent ounce (AuEqOz)1 were $675 and $676, respectively. Relative to 2015, full-year CAS and adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 declined 8% and 10%, respectively, to $705 and $688
  • Companywide AISC and adjusted AISC per average spot AgEqOz1 were $14.56 and $14.52, respectively, for the quarter and $14.27 and $14.09 for the full year. Full-year figures both represent year-over-year decreases of 2%. On a 60:1 equivalence basis, companywide AISC and adjusted AISC per AgEqOz1 were $16.08 and $15.88, respectively, both within the Company guidance range of $15.75 - $16.25
  • General and administrative expenses were $29.4 million, within Company guidance and representing a year-over-year decrease of 10%
  • Capital expenditures for the quarter were $29.9 million, driven by the ramp-up of Palmarejo underground operations at Guadalupe and Independencia, construction of the Stage IV leach pad expansion at Rochester, and continued development of the Jualin decline at Kensington. Full-year capital expenditures were $101.0 million, below Company guidance of $105 - $115 million
  • Total debt decreased $279.5 million, or 57%, year-over-year. Together with rising adjusted EBITDA1, the Company's total debt to last twelve month (LTM) adjusted EBITDA1 declined to 1.0x, down from 3.8x a year ago and 5.5x fifteen months ago
  • In 2016, Coeur monetized several non-core assets for a total consideration of $23.8 million, consistent with its strategy of redeploying capital to higher-return opportunities. This focus has continued into the new year, with the pending Joaquin Project sale announced in January 2017 for total consideration of $25 million plus a 2% NSR

"2016 marked a key inflection point for Coeur. Our silver equivalent production set a new Company record, operating and non-operating costs continued to decline, adjusted EBITDA increased materially, and we achieved strong earnings for the year. In addition, we delivered on our commitment to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing total debt by $280 million,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur's President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Coeur has entered 2017 well-positioned to continue delivering high-quality growth through ongoing initiatives at our Palmarejo, Kensington, and Rochester operations. In addition, our exploration programs targeting near-mine additions to reserves and resources have been accelerated and are expected to further enhance and extend the economics of our existing operations. Our team has done a terrific job executing our strategic plan and striving to establish a higher standard in all areas of the business.”

Financial Results

During the quarter, the Company realized average silver and gold prices of $16.64 and $1,170 per ounce, representing quarter-over-quarter decreases of 15% and 11%, respectively. Importantly, the average realized gold price in the fourth quarter reflected the impact of the new gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada, which provides for a payment of $800 per ounce delivered. For the full year, average realized silver and gold prices were $17.18 and $1,230, 11% and 8% higher, respectively, year-over-year.

Fourth quarter revenue was $159.2 million, a decrease of 10% quarter-over-quarter, driven by lower metal prices. Silver metal sales contributed 33% and gold 67%. For the full year, revenue increased 3% to $665.8 million, with silver metal sales contributing 37% and gold 63%.

Costs applicable to sales were $102.0 million for the fourth quarter. Full-year costs applicable to sales were $409.5 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 15%, primarily driven by lower unit costs. Other contributing factors include increased operating efficiencies, lower input costs, and more favorable currency exchange rates.

Free cash flow1 for the quarter was negatively impacted by an increase in inventory at Palmarejo as well as the acceleration of cash interest paid in connection with the redemption of $190 million in principal of the Company's 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021. The increase in inventory at Palmarejo resulted from the timing of a quarter-end shipment and gold retained for purchase by Franco-Nevada in January 2017.

Fourth quarter expensed exploration was $5.3 million, bringing full-year expensed exploration to $12.9 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 11% due to expanded exploration drilling activities at Palmarejo, Kensington, and Rochester.

Net income in 2016 was $55.4 million, or $0.34 per share. This compares to a net loss of $367.2 million, or $2.83 per share in 2015, which included after-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $313.3 million. Adjusted net income1 in 2016 was $47.8 million, or $0.29 per share, a significant improvement over the adjusted net loss1 in 2015 of $103.6 million, or $0.80 per share.

  • Gold production in the fourth quarter was 30,675 ounces, the strongest quarter of 2016. The concurrent decline in average gold grade for the period was anticipated due to seasonal mine sequencing
  • Full-year production of 109,175 ounces of gold exceeded the high-end of Company guidance by over 9,000 ounces and represented an increase of 40% compared to 2015. This was largely the result of two additional months of production, as well as improved grades and plant recovery rates
  • Fourth quarter adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 was relatively flat quarter-over-quarter at $556, while full-year adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 beat guidance, decreasing 19% to $575, primarily due to lower mining and leaching costs
  • Full-year free cash flow1 of $57.6 million brings total free cash flow to $86.4 million since the acquisition of Wharf in February 2015 for $99 million
  • Production in 2017 is expected to be 85,000 - 90,000 ounces of gold at CAS per AuEqOz1 of $775 - $825, both of which reflect the anticipated completion of the higher-grade Golden Reward deposit by mid-year

  • Fourth quarter silver production decreased 8% quarter-over-quarter to 1.3 million ounces due to an ongoing water shortage in Bolivia resulting from nationwide drought conditions
  • Full-year silver production was relatively constant at 5.5 million ounces
  • Fourth quarter and full-year adjusted CAS per silver ounce (AgOz)1 decreased 3% quarter-over-quarter and 1% year-over-year, respectively, to $13.97 and $13.46. Fourth quarter CAS per AgOz1 benefited from higher grade ore while the decrease in full-year CAS per AgOz1 was driven by lower consumables costs
  • Cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow1 for the full year were $29.4 million and $22.8 million, respectively, representing year-over-year increases of 13% and 15%
  • The Company's 2017 production guidance is 5.4 - 5.9 million silver ounces at CAS per AgOz1 of $14.00 - $14.50

  • 2017 production is expected to be 300,000 - 400,000 ounces of silver due to an anticipated increase in production following recent improvements in zinc and lead prices
  • Royalty revenue decreased compared to 2015 primarily due to non-core asset sales during the year that totaled $23.8 million

Exploration

Fourth quarter expensed exploration was $5.3 million, bringing full-year expensed exploration to $12.9 million, an 11% year-over-year increase, due to expanded exploration drilling activities. Fourth quarter and full-year capitalized drilling were $2.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively. As of year-end, the Company had 17 drill rigs active across Palmarejo, Kensington, Rochester, La Preciosa, and two early-stage exploration properties and had completed over 400,896 feet (122,195 meters) of combined core and reverse circulation drilling throughout the year.

Highlights from Coeur’s expanded exploration program in 2016 include:

  • Increased both surface and underground drilling at Palmarejo, and specifically at the Guadalupe and Independencia mines and the Los Bancos and Nación-Dana deposits, with eight drill rigs active at year-end
  • Accelerated surface and underground exploration at Kensington with a focus on growth at Kensington Main as well as at Jualin, Raven, and several new veins discovered through surface sampling programs
  • Continued extension and infill of the East Rochester discovery as well as resource conversion drilling within the western portions of the main pit
  • Development of a new geologic model for Wharf, which is expected to set the stage for continued resource growth

In 2017, the expensed exploration budget has been nearly doubled to $23 - $25 million with a continued focus on resource growth. Another $11 - $13 million of capital is expected to be allocated to resource conversion. Priorities for 2017 include:

  • Increased step-out drilling at all of our mine sites, with the largest budget allocation to Palmarejo
  • Continued definition drilling at La Preciosa
  • Early-stage exploration in Mexico, USA, and Canada focused on developing a long-term pipeline of high-quality projects

Full-Year 2017 Outlook

Full-year 2017 guidance highlights are provided below. Production guidance remains unchanged from the guidance published January 5, 2017.

  • Expected silver equivalent1 production increase driven by ongoing acceleration of Palmarejo underground operations offset by lower expected production at Wharf
  • Higher expected CAS per AuEqOz1 at Wharf due to anticipated completion of mining of the higher-grade Golden Reward deposit, higher tons mined compared to 2016, and one-time plant maintenance expenses
  • Anticipated increase in capital expenditures driven by carryover from 2016, the Stage IV leach pad expansion at Rochester, and higher underground development levels at Kensington and Palmarejo
  • Higher exploration expense primarily due to step-out drilling at Palmarejo, definition drilling at La Preciosa, and early-stage exploration

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs. We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance.
