Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2017. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2016 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities in the evaluation of acquisitions and disposals of assets or businesses. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” which will require entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance on presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transaction, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, and the Company’s adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing these changes on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which provides a revised, simpler measurement for inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which has subsequently been amended several times. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company has substantially completed its analysis of the new standard and reviewed potential impacts from timing of when control is transferred to customers, variable consideration on concentrate sales and classification of refining fees. The Company does not expect this ASU to materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

The Company’s effective income and mining tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates and foreign exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the jurisdictional mix of income and loss and foreign exchange rates result in significant fluctuations in the consolidated effective tax rate, along with mining taxes, uncertain tax positions, and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances decreased income and mining tax expense by $1.4 million and increased by $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, predominately due to the Mexican Peso. Also, favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 benefited from a legal entity reorganization to integrate acquisitions that resulted in a valuation allowance release of $40.8 million and a $15.0 million deferred tax benefit related to unremitted earnings.

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 the sections titled “Risk Factors” set forth in the 2016 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 2013 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2009 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 $1.5 million and $2.5 million in the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $17.5 million and $19.6 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. If recognized, these unrecognized tax benefits would positively impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $8.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 9 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 633,391 and 851,254 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, 215,298 and 404,543 common stock equivalents were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”) were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The outstanding Convertible Notes were redeemed in the third quarter of 2016.

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

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The Company’s investments in equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based primarily on quoted market prices. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Quoted market prices are not available for certain debt and equity securities; these securities are valued using pricing models, which require the use of observable and unobservable inputs, and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s other derivative instruments, net, relate to concentrate and certain doré sales contracts valued using pricing models, which require inputs that are derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, and other unobservable inputs. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In May 2017, the Company repurchased the Rochester royalty obligation for $5.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $2.3 million, which is included in Other, net. The fair value of the Rochester royalty obligation was estimated based on observable market data including contractual terms, forward silver and gold prices, yield curves, and credit spreads, as well as the Company’s current mine plan which is considered a significant unobservable input. Therefore, the Company historically classified this obligation as a Level 3 financial liability.

In July 2017, the Company sold the Endeavor silver stream and remaining non-core royalties to Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla”) for total consideration of $13.0 million, including a $6.7 million convertible debenture. The convertible debenture matures June 30, 2027, bears interest at a rate of 5% payable semi-annually, and is convertible into Metalla shares in connection with future equity financings or asset acquisitions by Metalla at the then-current price to maintain the Company’s approximate 19.9% ownership. The fair value of the convertible debenture is estimated based on observable market data including yield curves and credit spreads. Therefore, the Company classifies the convertible debenture in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

In January 2009, the Company's subsidiary, Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“Coeur Mexicana”), entered into a gold production royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation that covered 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and legacy adjacent properties. The royalty transaction included a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month and terminated upon delivery of 400,000 gold ounces, which occurred in July 2016.

The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation was considered an embedded derivative. The Company was required to recognize the change in fair value of the remaining minimum obligation due to changing gold prices. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the mark-to-market adjustment associated with the change were losses of $0.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Payments on the royalty obligation decreased the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $0.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in Fair value adjustments, net.

Provisional Silver and Gold 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 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. Changes in silver and gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market losses of $0.1 million and gains of $0.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to losses of $0.8 million and gains of $0.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

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.

The Company performs a quarterly assessment on each of its equity and debt securities with unrealized losses to determine if the security is other than temporarily impaired. The Company recorded no pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment losses in the three months ended September 30, 2017, in Other, net. The Company recorded pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment losses of $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, in Other, net. No impairment losses were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, in Other, net. The following table summarizes unrealized losses on equity and debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments have not been recognized and the fair values of those securities, aggregated by the length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2017:

Restricted Assets

The Company, under the terms of its self-insurance and bonding agreements with certain banks, lending institutions and regulatory agencies, is required to collateralize certain portions of its asset retirement obligations. The Company has collateralized these obligations by assigning certificates of deposit that have maturity dates ranging from three months to a year to the applicable institutions or agencies. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held certificates of deposit and cash under

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

these agreements of $21.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively. The ultimate timing of the release of the collateralized amounts is dependent on the timing and closure of each mine and repayment of the obligation. In order to release the collateral, the Company must seek approval from certain government agencies responsible for monitoring the mine closure status. Collateral could also be released to the extent the Company is able to secure alternative financial assurance satisfactory to the regulatory agencies. The Company believes the collateral will remain in place beyond a twelve-month period and has therefore classified these investments as long-term.

Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2017, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, and the Bank of Nova Scotia. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), which may be increased by up to $50.0 million in incremental loans and commitments subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Facility has a term of four years. Loans under the Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%, as selected by the Company, in each case, with such margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the end of the applicable period.

The Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines, as well as a pledge of the shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary, including representations, warranties, and covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales and make dividends and distributions. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $200.0 million available under the Facility with no amounts drawn. Issuance costs of $1.8 million were recorded as prepaid costs and will be amortized over the term of the Facility. On October 12, 2017, the Company drew $100.0 million from the Facility at a rate of 3.5%, which was based on the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25%.

5.875% Senior Notes due 2024

In May 2017, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 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 $245.0 million. The 2024 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of May 31, 2017 (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. In connection with the sale of the 2024 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. On August 4, 2017, the Company commenced an exchange offer of registered 2024 Senior Notes for privately-placed 2024 Senior Notes which was completed on September 12, 2017. The 2024 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2017. The 2024 Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors. At any time prior to June 1, 2020, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2024 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 2024 Senior Notes on or after June 1, 2020, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to June 1, 2020, the Company may use the proceeds of certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes, including any permitted additional 2024 Senior Notes, at a redemption price equal to 105.875% 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.

7.875% Senior Notes due 2021

Concurrent with the offering of the 2024 Senior Notes, the Company commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase the outstanding $178.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2021 Senior Notes. The Tender Offer was made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 19, 2017. Holders of the 2021 Senior Notes who tendered their notes were entitled to receive $1,043.88 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes were tendered and purchased by the Company on May 31, 2017. In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, the remaining $59.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes were redeemed on June 30, 2017 at the redemption price of $1,039.38 per $1,000 principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded a loss of $9.3 million as a result of the extinguishment of the 2021 Senior Notes.

The San Bartolomé mine labor agreement, which became effective January 28, 2010, is currently active and does not have a fixed term. At September 30, 2017, approximately 11% of the Company’s global labor force was covered by this collective bargaining agreement. The Company cannot predict whether this agreement will be renewed on similar terms or at all, whether future labor disruptions will occur or, if disruptions do occur, how long they will last.

Palmarejo Gold Stream

Effective August 2016, Coeur Mexicana sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from the Paramount properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. In 2015, Coeur Mexicana received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement.

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 10, 2017, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) among the Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, JDS Silver Holdings, Ltd. (“JDS Silver”) and Silvertip Resources Investment LLC as representative of the shareholders of JDS Silver. The Arrangement Agreement provides for the implementation of a Plan of Arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”), pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of JDS Silver (the “Acquisition”), the owner of the high-grade silver-zinc-lead Silvertip Mine located in northern British Columbia, Canada. On October 16, 2017, the Supreme Court of British Columbia approved the Plan of Arrangement, and the Company completed the Acquisition on October 17, 2017. Total initial consideration for the Acquisition was $200.0 million, consisting of (i) payments by the Company of approximately $147.5 million in cash and approximately $37.5 million in shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) the assumption of approximately $15.0 million in existing debt. Additional contingent consideration of up to $50.0 million may become payable upon the achievement of certain permitting and exploration milestones prior to December 31, 2019.

In connection with the completion of the Acquisition, on October 12, 2017 the Company borrowed $100.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

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

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 certain operational and financial data on a silver equivalent basis, converting gold to silver at a historical 60:1 ratio of silver ounces to gold ounces, unless otherwise noted. We also provide realized silver equivalent data determined by average spot silver and gold prices during the relevant period.

Overview

We are a gold and silver producer with mines located in the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia and exploration projects in the United States and Mexico. The Palmarejo complex, and Rochester, Kensington, Wharf, and San Bartolomé mines constitute our principal sources of revenue. In October 2017, the Company added its sixth mine to Coeur’s North America-focused platform with the acquisition of the high-grade silver-zinc-lead Silvertip mine (“Silvertip”) located in northern British Columbia, Canada. Silvertip is expected to achieve commercial production in 2018.

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

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $16.7 million ($0.09 per share) compared to Net income of $69.6 million ($0.42 per share). The decrease in Net income is primarily due to a significant tax benefit realized in 2016, lower realized silver and gold prices and higher all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by higher production, lower interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment in the third quarter of 2016.

Revenue

Metal sales were lower due to a decrease in average realized silver and gold prices of 14% and 6%, respectively, partially offset by higher silver and gold production. The Company sold 3.8 million silver ounces and 89,972 gold ounces, compared to sales of 3.4 million silver ounces and 83,389 gold ounces. Gold contributed 63% of sales and silver contributed 37%, compared to 62% of sales from gold and 38% from silver. Metal sales from North American operations provided 91% of consolidated revenue, compared to 84%.

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased due to higher silver and gold ounces sold and higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization increased $6.1 million, or 22%, primarily due to higher silver and gold ounces sold.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 4% due to higher professional service costs.

Exploration expense increased $6.1 million, due to the Company’s expansion of near-mine drilling at Palmarejo, Kensington and Rochester and regional exploration focused on projects in Nevada and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased 77% due to additional work at La Preciosa, Silvertip acquisition costs, and workforce reduction severance at San Bartolomé.

Other Income and Expenses

In 2016, the Company incurred losses of $10.0 million on extinguishment of debt and non-cash fair value adjustments related to the Palmarejo gold production royalty which was terminated in the third quarter of 2016 and the Rochester royalty obligation which was terminated in the second quarter of 2017.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.7 million) decreased to $3.6 million from $8.1 million, primarily due to lower debt levels and the lower 2024 Senior Notes interest rate.

Other, net decreased by $3.2 million, primarily due to lower gains on the sale of non-core assets and investments.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $14.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (588.1%). This compares to estimated income and mining tax benefit of $54.5 million for an effective tax rate of (360.6%) during the third quarter of 2016.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:



	Three months ended September 30,
	2017						2016
In thousands	Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit			Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit
United States	$	(6,008	)	$	(2,362	)	$	3,286		$	10,712
Argentina	738			(366		)	(301		)	67
Mexico	3,210			(9,057		)	3,020			37,821
Bolivia	(5,029		)	(518		)	4,325			5,904
Other jurisdictions	4,669			(1,929		)	4,772			(49		)
	$	(2,420	)	$	(14,232	)	$	15,102		$	54,455

The Company’s effective income and mining tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates and foreign exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the jurisdictional mix of income and loss and foreign exchange rates result in significant fluctuations in the consolidated effective tax rate, along with mining taxes, uncertain tax positions, and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Favorable operating results at Palmarejo continued to contribute to higher income and mining tax expense. The three months ended September 30, 2016 benefited from a legal entity reorganization to integrate acquisitions that resulted in a valuation allowance release of $40.8 million and a $15.0 million deferred tax benefit related to unremitted earnings.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related 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 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 risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $8.9 million ($0.05 per share) compared to Net income of $63.7 million ($0.40 per share). The decrease in Net income is primarily due to a significant tax benefit realized in 2016, lower realized silver and gold prices, and higher all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by a $21.1 million gain on the sale of the Joaquin project, less unfavorable fair value adjustments, lower interest expense and higher silver and gold production.

Revenue

Metal sales increased due to higher silver and gold production, and a reduction in metal inventory, partially offset by a 1% and 4% decrease in average realized silver and gold prices, respectively. The Company sold 12.4 million silver ounces and 287,040 gold ounces, compared to sales of 10.9 million silver ounces and 251,023 gold ounces. Gold contributed 62% of sales and silver contributed 38% for both periods. Royalty revenue was lower due to the Company’s divestiture of non-core royalty assets throughout 2016 and the first half of 2017. Metal sales from North American operations provided 89% of revenue, compared to 85%.

Costs Applicable to Sales

Costs applicable to sales increased due to higher silver and gold ounces sold and higher mining and processing costs. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.

Amortization

Amortization increased $13.6 million, or 15%, primarily due to higher silver and gold ounces sold.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 8% due to higher compensation, severance and professional service costs.

Exploration expense increased $15.2 million, due to the Company’s expansion of near-mine exploration drilling at Palmarejo, Kensington and Rochester as well as regional exploration with a focus on projects in Nevada and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses increased 29% to $16.9 million due to additional work at La Preciosa, Silvertip acquisition costs and workforce reduction severance at San Bartolomé.

Other Income and Expenses

In 2017, the Company incurred a $9.3 million loss in connection with the repurchase of the 2021 7.875% Senior Notes concurrent with the completed offering of the 2024 5.875% Senior Notes compared to $10.0 million primarily related to the voluntary repayment of a term loan.

Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, were a loss of $0.9 million compared to a loss of $13.2 million, primarily due to the termination of the Palmarejo gold production royalty in the third quarter of 2016 and the lesser impact of changes in future metal prices on the Rochester royalty obligation, which was repurchased and terminated in May 2017.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $1.8 million) decreased to $10.9 million from $30.1 million, primarily due lower debt levels and a lower interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes compared to the 2021 Senior Notes.

Other, net increased by $22.6 million, primarily due to a $21.1 million gain on the sale of the Joaquin project in Argentina and a $2.3 million gain on the repurchase of the Rochester royalty obligation.

Income and Mining Taxes

During the first three quarters of 2017, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $23.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 162.8%. This compares to estimated income and mining tax benefit of $53.1 million for an effective tax rate of (503.9%) during the first nine months of 2016.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2017						2016
In thousands	Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit			Income (loss) before tax			Tax (expense) benefit
United States	$	8,213		$	(2,739	)	$	(5,956	)	$	8,370

	$	14,236		$	(23,180	)	$	10,542		$	53,118

The Company’s effective income and mining tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates and foreign exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the jurisdictional mix of income and loss and foreign exchange rates result in significant fluctuations in the consolidated effective tax rate, along with mining taxes, uncertain tax positions, and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. During the first three quarters of the year, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances increased income and mining tax expense by $7.2 million, predominately due to the strength of the Mexican Peso. Also, continued favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense. The first three quarters of 2016 benefited from a legal entity reorganization to integrate acquisitions that resulted in a valuation allowance release of $40.8 million and a $15.0 million deferred tax benefit related to unremitted earnings.

2017 Outlook

Full-year 2017 production guidance remains unchanged from the revised guidance published in the third quarter production release on October 5, 2017, which reflected lower expected silver production at the San Bartolomé mine due to persistent drought conditions. Revised 2017 cost guidance is shown in the table below.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to lower average realized prices and higher costs applicable to sales per consolidated silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by higher silver equivalent ounces sold and favorable working capital adjustments. Metal sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $0.4 million, with $15.7 million due to lower average realized prices mostly offset by $15.3 million due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold. The $8.2 million working capital decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable partially offset by an increase in inventories and prepaid assets, compared to the $10.3 million working capital increase in the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase on ore on leach pads and timing of payments, partially offset by lower trade receivables.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold and favorable working capital adjustments, partially offset by higher costs applicable to sales per consolidated silver equivalent ounce and lower average realized prices. Metal sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $52.2 million, with $68.5 million due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold, partially offset by $16.2 million due to lower average realized prices. The $21.6 million working capital decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the reduction in precious metal inventory and

receivables, compared to the $28.5 million working capital increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in ore on leach pads and precious metal inventory, and a reduction in accounts payable partially offset by lower receivables.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $37.4 million compared to $18.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the purchase of strategic equity investments, and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by non-core asset sales. The Company had capital expenditures of $29.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $25.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Capital expenditures in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington, capitalized conversion drilling, and the Stage IV leach pad expansion and commissioning at Rochester. Capital expenditures in the three months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington.

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $84.1 million compared to $53.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher capital expenditures and the purchase of strategic equity investments, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the Joaquin project. The Company had capital expenditures of $90.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $71.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington, capitalized conversion drilling, and the Stage IV leach pad expansion and commissioning at Rochester. Capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $5.6 million compared to $64.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to issuance costs incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid the Term Loan, partially offset by net proceeds from the settlement of sales of shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company made payments of $7.6 million under the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation that terminated in July 2016. Coeur Mexicana now sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from Independencia Este, acquired in the 2015 Paramount transaction) for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce under a gold stream agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $43.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $24.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $245.0 million from the issuance of the 2024 Senior Notes, partially offset by the repurchase of the 2021 Senior Notes for $185.5 million, including premiums. Payments of $27.2 million were made in 2016 under the Palmarejo gold production royalty that terminated in July 2016. Coeur Mexicana now sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from Independencia Este, acquired in 2015 Paramount transaction) for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce under a gold stream agreement.

The Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines, as well as a pledge of the shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary, including representations, warranties, and covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales and make dividends and distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default At September 30, 2017, the Company had $200.0 million available under the Facility with no amounts drawn. Issuance costs of $1.8 million were recorded as prepaid costs and will be amortized over the term of the Facility. On October 12, 2017, the Company drew $100.0 million from the Facility at a rate of 3.5% based on the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25%.

Other Liquidity Matters

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

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

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, tax effect of adjustments of $(1.0) million (112.9%) is primarily related to deferred taxes on the Metalla transaction. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, tax effect of adjustments of $(38) thousand (0.5%) is primarily related to the tax gain on the sale of an asset, partially offset by losses on other asset sales where no tax benefit was recognized and tax benefit from fair value adjustment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, tax effect of adjustments of $0.8 million (-7.8%) is primarily related to a taxable gain on the sale of the Joaquin project and deferred taxes on the Metalla transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, tax effect of adjustments of $2.6 million (-12.3%) is primarily related to a taxable gain on the sale of assets and the tax valuation allowance impact from an asset write-down, partially offset by tax benefit from fair value adjustments.

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 the Indenture and the Facility 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 is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the table below:

Costs Applicable to Sales and All-in Sustaining Costs

Management uses Costs applicable to sales (“CAS”) and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and life of mine performance from discovery through reclamation. We believe these measures assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing silver and gold, 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 converting the benefit from selling gold into silver equivalent ounces best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS and AISC differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit rather than converting to silver equivalent ounces, differences in the determination of sustaining capital expenditures, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include (i) the risk factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2016 10-K, in this Report and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, and the risks and uncertainties discussed in this MD&A, (ii) the risk that the anticipated results of the Silvertip acquisition are not realized, (iii) the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), (iv) changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price environment, including any resulting impact on cash flows, (v) the uncertainties inherent in the Company’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground conditions and grade variability, (vi) any future labor disputes or work stoppages (involving the Company and its subsidiaries or third parties), (vii) the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver reserves and mineralized material, (viii) changes that could result from the Company’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, (ix) the loss of access to any third-party smelter to which the Company markets silver and gold, (x) the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, (xi) the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, (xii) the political risks and uncertainties associated with operations in Bolivia; and (xiii) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 11 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the condensed 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 and Silver Price

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

Gold and Silver Hedging

To mitigate the risks associated with gold and silver price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had no outstanding gold and silver option contracts at September 30, 2017.

Provisional Silver and Gold 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 and silver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Changes in silver and gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market losses of $0.1 million and gains of $0.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to losses of $0.8 million and gains of $0.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.2 million ounces of silver and 26,087 ounces of gold at prices of $16.86 and $1,299, respectively. A 10% change in realized silver price would cause revenue to vary by $0.4 million and a 10% change in realized gold price would cause revenue to vary by $3.4 million.

Foreign Currency

The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, and New Zealand, which exposes it to foreign currency exchange rate risks. Foreign currency exchange rates are influenced by world market factors beyond the Company’s control such as supply and demand for U.S. and foreign currencies 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 exchange forward and/or option contracts when the Company believes such contracts would be beneficial. The Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 2017.


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 September 30, 2017 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

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 19 -- Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A - Risk Factors of the 2016 10-K and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017 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 this Form 10-Q. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not presently know or that it currently deems immaterial also may impair our business operations.

The Company may be unable to successfully integrate the recently acquired Silvertip mine or other acquisitions.

There can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the recently completed acquisition of the Silvertip mine in British Columbia, Canada, or any future acquisition, will be realized. The success of this and any other acquisition will depend upon the Company’s ability to effectively manage the integration and operations of entities or properties it acquires and to realize other anticipated benefits. The process of managing acquired businesses may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of management resources, which may divert management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during this process.

Any acquisition would be accompanied by risks, including:


•	a significant change in commodity prices after the Company has committed to complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio;


•	a material orebody may prove to be below expectations;


•	difficulties integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise, and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls across the organization; and


•	the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant.

In addition, the Silvertip acquisition was funded, in part, with funds drawn under the Facility, resulting in increased interest expense. In connection with any future acquisition, the Company may incur indebtedness or issue equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, resulting in increased interest expense, or dilution of the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The Company cannot predict the impact of future acquisitions on the price of its common stock, or assure that it

would be able to obtain any necessary financing on acceptable terms. Unprofitable acquisitions, or additional indebtedness or issuances of securities in connection with such acquisitions, may negatively affect results of operations.

Finally, the Company’s systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support the expansion of our operations resulting from an acquisition or development of a new mine, including the Silvertip mine. The Company’s future operating results could be affected by the ability of its officers and key employees to manage the changing business conditions and to integrate an acquired business or new operation into Coeur. There may also be liabilities, such as environmental liabilities, or significant capital expenditures that the Company failed to discover or have underestimated in connection with any acquisition or development. Any such liabilities or capital expenditure requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or future prospects.

The Company's results of operations, cash flows and operating costs are highly dependent upon the market prices of silver and gold and, following the Silvertip acquisition, other commodities, including zinc and lead, which are volatile and beyond the Company's control.

Silver, gold, lead and zinc are actively traded commodities, and their prices are volatile. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, the price of silver ranged from a low of $15.22 per ounce to a high of $19.35 per ounce, the price of gold ranged from a low of $1,126 per ounce to a high of $1,346 per ounce, the price of lead ranged from a low of $0.89 per pound to a high of $1.14 per pound, and the price of zinc ranged from a low of $1.01 per pound to a high of $1.45 per pound. The closing market prices of silver, gold, lead, and zinc on October 24, 2017 were $17.04 per ounce, $1,276 per ounce, $1.12 per pound, and $1.47 per pound, respectively.

Silver, gold, lead and zinc prices are affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including U.S. dollar strength or weakness, speculation, global currency values, the price of products that incorporate silver, gold, lead or zinc, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors. In addition, Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), which have substantially facilitated the ability of large and small investors to buy and sell precious metals and base metals, have become significant holders of gold, silver, lead and zinc. Silver and gold prices are also affected by prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation and governmental decisions regarding precious metals stockpiles.

Because the Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from sales of silver and gold, and to a lesser extent, lead and zinc as a result of the Silvertip acquisition, its results of operations and cash flows will fluctuate as the prices of these metals change. A period of significant and sustained lower gold and silver prices and, to a lesser extent, lead and zinc prices, would materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, if market prices for silver, gold, lead and zinc decline further or remain at current or lower levels for a sustained period of time, the Company may have to revise its operating plans, including reducing operating costs and capital expenditures, terminating or suspending mining operations at one or more of its properties and discontinuing certain exploration and development plans. The Company may be unable to decrease its costs in an amount sufficient to offset reductions in revenues, and may continue to incur losses.

Operating costs at the Company’s mines are also affected by the price of input commodities, such as fuel, electricity, labor, chemical reagents, explosives, steel and concrete. Prices for these input commodities are volatile and can fluctuate due to conditions that are difficult to predict, including global competition for resources, currency fluctuations, consumer or industrial demand and other factors. Continued volatility in the prices of commodities and other supplies the Company purchases could lead to higher costs, which would adversely affect results of operations and cash flows.

The terms of the Company’s debt impose restrictions on its operations.

The agreements governing the Company’s outstanding indebtedness include a number of significant negative covenants. These covenants, among other things:


•	limit the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, repurchase outstanding equity or issue debt securities;


•	require the Company to meet certain financial covenants consisting of a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio;


•	require a portion of the Company’s cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;


•	limit the Company’s ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with and invest capital in affiliates, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, consolidate, amalgamate, merger or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;


•	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;


•	limit the Company’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete; and


•	place the Company at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the applicable agreement governing the Company’s outstanding indebtedness that, if not cured or waived, could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to the debt to be due and payable immediately. Acceleration of any debt could result in cross-defaults under the Company’s other debt instruments. The Company’s assets and cash flow may be insufficient to repay borrowings fully under all of its outstanding debt instruments if any of its debt instruments are accelerated upon an event of default, which could force the Company into bankruptcy or liquidation.

The Company’s future operating performance may not generate cash flows sufficient to meet debt payment obligations.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $288.9 million of outstanding indebtedness. On October 12, 2017, the Company borrowed $100.0 million under the Facility. The Company’s ability to make scheduled debt payments on outstanding indebtedness will depend on future results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s results of operations and cash flows, in part, are subject to economic factors beyond its control, including the market prices of silver, gold, lead and zinc. The Company may not be able to generate enough cash flow to meet obligations and commitments under outstanding debt instruments. If the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service debt, it may need to further refinance debt, dispose of assets or issue equity to obtain the necessary funds.

If the Company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt services obligations, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company cannot predict whether it would be able to refinance debt, issue equity or dispose of assets to raise funds on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms. In a rising interest rate environment, the costs of borrowing additional funds or refinancing outstanding indebtedness would also be expected to increase. The agreements governing the Company’s outstanding indebtedness restrict the Company’s ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from those dispositions and may also restrict its ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. The Company may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations then due. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, holders of its common stock could experience significant dilution of their ownership interest, and these securities could have rights senior to those of the holders of common stock.
