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, 2017.2018. The condensed consolidated December 31, 20162017 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, 20162017 (the “2016“2017 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the updated revenue guidance applicable under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance creates a five-step framework to determine revenue recognition:

1.Identify the contract with the customer
2.Identify the performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company produces doré and concentrate that is shipped to third-party refiners and smelters, respectively, for processing. The Company enters into contracts to sell its metal to various third-party customers which may include the refiners and smelters that process the doré and concentrate. The Company’s performance obligation in these transactions is generally the transfer of metal to the customer.

In the case of doré shipments, the company generally sells refined metal at market prices agreed upon by both parties. The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a portion of the anticipated refined metal in advance of being fully refined. When the Company sells refined metal or advanced metal, the performance obligation is satisfied when the metal is delivered to the customer. Revenue and Costs Applicable to Sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period, typically one to three months, after the shipment date based on market prices. When the Company sells gold concentrate to the third-party smelters, the performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The contracts, in general, provide for provisional payment based upon provisional assays and historical metal prices. Final settlement is based on the applicable price for the specified future quotational period and generally occurs three to six months after shipment. The Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates measured at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through revenue each period until the date of final metal settlement.

The Company also sells concentrate under off-take agreements to third-party customers that are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. Prices are can either be fixed or based on a quotational period. The quotational period varies by contract, but is generally a one-month period following the shipment of the concentrate. The performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The off-take agreement allows for the Company to sell concentrate in advance of shipment and results in the customer taking ownership of the concentrate prior to shipment.

For doré and off-take sales, the Company may incur a finance charge related to advance sales that is not considered significant and, as such, is not considered a separate performance obligation. In addition, the Company has elected to treat freight costs as a fulfillment cost under ASC 606 and not as a separate performance obligation.

The Company’s streaming agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) commenced in 2016 with a $20.0 million deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation 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 this deposit, it is not considered financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

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.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential2018 and did not materially impact of implementing these changes on the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position results of operations, andor 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 becomebecame effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

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.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring and nonrecurring items. These items include foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances, uncertain tax positions, and the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. During the first quarter of 2017, foreign exchange increased income and mining tax expense by $5.6 million, predominately due to the strength of the Mexican peso. Additionally, the Company recognized $1.8 million income and mining tax expense from the sale of the Joaquin project. Also during the first quarter, favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense. The Company’s consolidated 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 ourthe consolidated effective tax rate.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 increased income and mining tax expense by $3.6 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, predominately due to the strengthening of the Mexican Peso. Additionally, favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense in Mexico.
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 20162017 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 20122014 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2008 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next 12twelve 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 $2.5$1.5 million and $3.5$2.5 million in the next 12twelve months.
At March 31, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had $18.7$3.9 million and $19.6$4.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. Ifrespectively that, 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 March 31, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $8.7$4.2 million and $8.7$4.8 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 months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 496,064 and 2016, 1,368,685 and 3,321,424 of 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.

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 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 equitydebt 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 toinclude concentrate and certain doré sales contracts, as well as zinc hedges, which are valued using pricing models which requirewith 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 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.

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 months ended March 31, 2016, the mark-to-market adjustment associated with the change was a loss of $4.9 million. Payments on the royalty obligation decreased the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, realized loss on settlement of the liability was $3.0 million. 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 gains of $1.4$0.3 million and $0.6$1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Zinc Options
At March 31, 2018, the Company has outstanding Asian (or average value) put and 2016,call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements on a volume of 300 metric tons of zinc per month commencing in April 2018 and ending in December 2018. The weighted average strike prices on the put and call contracts are $3,000 and $4,050 per metric ton, respectively. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the price of zinc at the time of the expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire

NOTE 12 – ACQUISITIONS

In October 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary JDS Silver Inc. (together, “JDS Silver”) which, following the closing of the acquisition, were amalgamated with a subsidiary of Coeur to form Coeur Silvertip Holdings Ltd., which owns the underground Silvertip silver-zinc-lead mine in northern British Columbia, Canada. JDS Silver was purchased for approximately $153.2 million in cash and $36.0 million in Coeur common stock. In addition, the Company recorded $47.7 million of contingent consideration payable in cash and common stock upon reaching future permitting and resource declaration milestones. The cash consideration was funded with $100.0 million of borrowing under the Facility (as defined in Note 18 -- Debt) and cash on hand. Upon closing, the Company issued approximately 4.2 million Coeur shares to former shareholders of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. The acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The acquisition is not significant to the Company’s results of operations, individually or in the aggregate, because the Silvertip mine is in pre-production. As there are no significant differences from the Company’s historical results of operations, no pro forma financial information is provided.
The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed is preliminary as of March 31, 2018 and subsequent adjustments may result in changes to mineral interest and other carrying amounts initially assigned based on the preliminary fair value analysis. The principal remaining items to be valued are property, plant and equipment and mining properties, which will be finalized as management continues to review the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of these assets. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

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 March 31, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company held certificates of deposit and cash equivalents under these agreements of $19.0$22.1 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 there is a reasonable probability that the collateral will remain in place beyond a twelve-month period and has therefore classified these investments as long-term.

The Company recognized a $21.1 million pre-tax gainSilvertip mine is expected to reach commercial production in the second quarter of 2018. The determination of commercial production (or ready for intended use) is based on this sale.many factors requiring the exercise of judgment.  Factors that are considered when determining if intended use has been achieved include achievement of continuous production or other output, mineral recoveries at or near expected levels, the absence of routine take-downs of the plant to address commissioning issues and fix problems, and the release of the commissioning team.
Prior to commercial production, costs related to mine development, construction of long-lived assets, and inventory are capitalized; all other costs are expensed in the period incurred. Amortization of mining properties will commence when the mine has been determined to be in commercial production.

Labor Union Contract
The Company maintains a labor agreement with Sindicato de Trabajadores Mineros de la Empresa Manquiri S.A. at the San Bartolomé mine in Bolivia. The San Bartolomé mine labor agreement, which became effective January 28, 2010, is currently active and does not have a fixed term. At March 31, 2017, approximately 10% of the Company’s global labor force was covered by this collective bargaining agreement. The Company cannot predict whether this agreement will be renewed on similar terms or at all, whether future labor disruptions will occur or, if disruptions do occur, how long they will last.
Rochester Production Royalty
Effective January 2014, Coeur Rochester is obligated to pay a 3.4% net smelter returns royalty on up to 39.4 million silver equivalent ounces produced and sold from a portion of the Rochester mine, payable on a quarterly basis. For each calendar quarter, the royalty is payable on the actual sales prices received, less refining and related costs, of gold and silver produced and sold from the applicable portions of the Rochester mine. Changes in silver and gold prices and the Company’s mine plan result in the recognition of mark-to-market gains or losses in Fair value adjustments, net. At March 31, 2017, a total of 15.9 million silver equivalent ounces remain outstanding under the obligation.
Palmarejo Gold Stream
Effective August 2016, Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“Coeur Mexicana”), a subsidiary of Coeur, sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from the recentlyParamount properties acquired Paramount properties)in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce. Previously,In 2015, 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 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.  As of March 31, 2018, the remaining unamortized balance was $14.3 million.

The first milestone payment of $25.0 million is contingent upon receipt of a permit expansion for a sustained mining organization, COMIBOL, announced by resolution that it was temporarily suspending mining activities above the elevationand milling rate of 4,400 meters above sea level while stability studies of Cerro Rico mountain are undertaken.1,000 tonnes per day. The Company holds rights to mine above this elevation under valid contracts with COMIBOL. The stability studies have been completed and officiallypermit application must be submitted to the Bolivian mining technical authorities. Accordingly,British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mining no later than June 2018. The second milestone payment of up to $25.0 million is contingent upon the COMIBOL suspension has expiredamount of resource tonnes added as of December 31, 2019. The maximum payment of $25.0 million can be earned if the total resource reaches 3.7 million tonnes. The former JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. shareholders will receive $5.0 million for a total resource of at least 2.5 million tonnes and $5.0 million for every 0.3 million tonnes over 2.5 million tonnes up to 3.7 million tonnes.

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”“our”, or “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of non-GAAP financial performancethese 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, silver, zinc and silverlead producer with mines located in the United States, Mexico and BoliviaCanada and exploration projects in the United States and Mexico. The Palmarejo complex, Rochester, Kensington Wharf, and San BartoloméWharf mines constitute our principal sources of revenue.
In October 2017, the Company added a mine to Coeur’s North America-focused platform with the acquisition of the high-grade silver-zinc-lead Silvertip mine located in northern British Columbia, Canada. The Silvertip mine commenced milling in the first quarter of 2018, and is expected to commence commercial production in the second quarter of 2018. In February 2018, the Company also ownscompleted the Endeavor silver stream.Manquiri Divestiture, which we determined to represent a strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio with a major effect on the Company’s results and operations; therefore, San Bartolomé’s results of operations are reported as discontinued operations for all periods. In the following discussion and analysis, the operating statistics, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition that we present and discuss are those of our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.
The Company's strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines, which may include base metals such as zinc and lead, 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.

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring and nonrecurring items. These items include foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances, uncertain tax positions, and the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. During the first quarter of 2017, foreign exchange increased income and mining tax expense by $5.6 million, predominately due to the strength of the Mexican peso. Additionally, the Company recognized $1.8 million income and mining tax expense from the sale of the Joaquin project. Also during the first quarter, favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense. The Company’s consolidated 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 ourthe consolidated effective tax rate.

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 increased income and mining tax expense by $3.6 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, predominately due to the strengthening of the Mexican Peso. Additionally, favorable operating results at Palmarejo contributed to higher income and mining tax expense in Mexico.
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 risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets.
2017Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
In respect of San Bartolomé’s operating results, income increased $0.2 million, primarily due to a $1.5 million gain on the sale of San Bartolomé in the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by lower production and higher unit costs.
2018 Outlook
The Company is maintaining its full-year 20172018 production and related cost guidance. Exploration expense is expected to increase $6 million to $29 - $31 million to accelerate the expansion of Kensington’s Jualin deposit, offset by a $6 million decrease in underground capital development at Kensington, resulting in expected capital expenditures of $109 - $129 million.

Results of Continuing Operations
The Company produced 3.93.2 million ounces of silver and 85,383 ounces of gold in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 2.7 million ounces of silver and 88,218 ounces of gold in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared2017. Silver production increased 17% due to 3.4 million ounces ofhigher grade at Palmarejo and higher placed tons at Rochester. Gold production decreased 3% due to lower grade at Wharf, lower mill throughput at Kensington and lower recovery at Palmarejo.
Costs applicable to sales were $9.77 per silver equivalent ounce ($8.55 per average spot silver equivalent ounce) and 78,072 ounces of$970 per gold equivalent ounce in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Silver production increased 17% due2018 compared to higher mill throughput and grade at Palmarejo and timing of leach pad recoveries at Rochester. Gold production increased 13% due to higher mill throughput,    grade and recovery at Palmarejo, partially offset by lower grade at Kensington.
Costs applicable to sales were $11.39$10.61 per silver equivalent ounce ($10.649.80 per average spot silver equivalent ounce) and $788 per gold equivalent ounce in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $12.36 per silver equivalent ounce ($11.28 per average spot silver equivalent ounce) and $728 per gold equivalent ounce in the three months ended March 31, 2016.2017. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce decreased 8% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to lower unit costs at Palmarejo partially offset by higher unitwhile costs at San Bartolomé. Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce increased 8%23% in the three months ended March 31, 20172018 due to higher unit costs at Kensington.Kensington and Wharf.
All-in sustaining costs were $15.01$17.33 per silver equivalent ounce ($13.6514.44 per average spot silver equivalent ounce) in the three months ended March 31, 2017,2018, compared to $16.28$14.77 per silver equivalent ounce ($13.7113.29 per average spot silver equivalent ounce) in the three months ended March 31, 2016.2017. The 8% decrease in all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent ounce in 201717% increase was primarily due to lowerhigher costs applicable to sales per consolidated silver equivalent ounce and lowerhigher sustaining capital related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington, partially offset by higherlower general and administrative and exploration expense.costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments
Please see Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES contained in the Company’s Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 10-K”) for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the updated revenue guidance applicable under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance creates a five-step framework to determine revenue recognition:

1.Identify the contract with the customer
2.Identify the performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
    
The Company produces doré and concentrate that is shipped to third-party refiners and smelters, respectively, for processing. The Company enters into contracts to sell its metal to various third-party customers which may include the refiners and smelters that process the doré and concentrate. The Company’s performance obligation in these transactions is generally the transfer of metal to the customer.

In the case of doré shipments, the company generally sells refined metal at market prices agreed upon by both parties. The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a portion of the anticipated refined metal in advance of being fully refined. When the Company sells refined metal or advanced metal, the performance obligation is satisfied when the metal is delivered to the customer. Revenue and Costs Applicable to Sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period, typically one to three months, after the shipment date based on market prices. When the Company sells gold concentrate to the third-party smelters, the performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The contracts, in general, provide for provisional payment based upon provisional assays and historical metal prices. Final settlement is based on the applicable price for the specified future quotational period and generally occurs three to six months after shipment. The Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates measured at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through revenue each period until the date of final metal settlement.

The Company also sells concentrate under off-take agreements to third-party customers that are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. Prices are can either be fixed or based on a quotational period. The quotational period varies by contract, but is generally a one-month period following the shipment of the concentrate. The performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The off-take agreement allows for the Company to sell concentrate in advance of shipment and results in the customer taking ownership of the concentrate prior to shipment.

For doré and off-take sales, the Company may incur a finance charge related to advance sales that is not considered significant and, as such, is not considered a separate performance obligation. In addition, the Company has elected to treat freight costs as a fulfillment cost under ASC 606 and not as a separate performance obligation.

The Company’s streaming agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada commenced in 2016 with a $20.0 million deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation 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 this 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.



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.

In order to reduce future cash interest payments, and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, from time to time we may 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 regularly engage in conversations with our bondholders and 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 such transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities’ face amount. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A.

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 of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 21 -- to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 March 31, 2016, tax effect of adjustments of $1.4 million (-11%) is primarily related to thevaluation 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 Company’s2024 Senior Notes indentureIndenture 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:

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.

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, Silver, Zinc and Silver PriceLead Prices
Gold, silver, zinc, and silverlead 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 silver.lead.
Gold, Silver, Zinc and SilverLead Hedging
To mitigate the risks associated with gold, silver, zinc and silverlead price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had no outstanding goldAsian put and silvercall option contracts in net-zero-cost collar contracts on zinc at March 31, 2017.2018. The weighted average strike prices on the put and call contracts are $3,000 and $4,050 per metric ton, respectively. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the price of zinc at the time of the expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. At March 31, 2018, the fair market value of the put and call zero cost collar contracts was a net asset of $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had recorded unrealized gains of $0.1 million related to outstanding options which were 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. 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 pricingprices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gains of $1.4$0.3 million and $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018 and 2017, respectively.
At March 31, 2017,2018, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.1 million49,853 ounces of silver and 29,60345,051 ounces of gold at prices of $17.74$16.66 and $1,211,$1,317, respectively. A 10% change in realized silver price would causeresult in a de minimis change in revenue to vary by $0.1 million and a 10% change in realized gold price would cause revenue to vary by $3.6$5.9 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Australia, Bolivia, Chile,Canada, 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 March 31, 2017.2018.

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 three months ended March 31, 20172018 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 1920 -- Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

Item 1A -- Risk Factors of the 20162017 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 this Form 10-Q. Except as supplemented and updated below, the risk factors set forth in the 2017 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.
The Company’s business depends on good relations with, and the retention and hiring of, employees.

The Company may experience labor disputes, work stoppages or other disruptions in production that could adversely affect its business and results of operations. Labor disruptions may be used to advocate labor, political or social goals, particularly at non-U.S. mines. For example, labor disruptions may occur in sympathy with strikes or labor unrest in other sectors of local economies. During the past several years, two of the Company’s mines have experienced work stoppages, each of which was resolved within a short period of time and had no material effect on results of operations or financial condition. The Company cannot assure that work stoppages or other disruptions will not occur in the future. Any such work stoppage or disruption could expose the Company to significant costs and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. At March 31, 2018, none of the Company’s global workforce was represented by unions.

We compete with other mining companies to attract and retain key executives, skilled labor, contractors and other employees. We may be unable to continue to attract and retain skilled and experienced employees, which could have an adverse effect on our competitive position or adversely impact our results of operations or financial condition.
Continuation of the Company’s mining operations is dependent on the availability of sufficient and affordable water supplies.

The Company’s mining operations require significant quantities of water for mining, ore processing and related support facilities. In particular, the Company’s properties in Mexico 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 the Company’s ability to acquire and maintain water rights and claims and to defeat claims adverse to current water uses in legal proceedings. Although each of the Company’s operating mines currently has sufficient water rights and claims to cover its operational demands, the Company cannot predict the potential outcome of pending or future legal proceedings relating to water rights, claims and uses.

Water shortages may also result from weather or environmental and climate impacts out of the Company’s 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 the Company’s operations. The loss of some or all water rights, in whole or in part, or ongoing shortages of water to which we have rights or significantly higher costs to obtain sufficient quantities of water (or the failure to procure sufficient quantities of water) could result in the Company’s inability to maintain production at current or expected levels, require the Company to curtail or shut down mining production and could prevent the Company from pursuing expansion or development opportunities, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Laws and regulations may be introduced in some jurisdictions in which the Company operates which could also limit access to sufficient water resources, thus adversely affecting the Company’s operations.

Item 4.         Mine Safety Disclosures

Information pertaining to mine safety matters is reported in accordance with Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in Exhibit 95.1 attached to this Form 10-Q.

Item 5.Other Information

In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy, Casey M. Nault, the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary entered into a selling plan effective March 6, 2017. Under the selling plan, between May 1, 2017 and November 30, 2017, Mr. Nault will sell a total of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock so long as the market price of the common stock is higher than a minimum threshold price specified in the plan. Rule 10b5-1 permits an insider to implement a written prearranged trading plan entered into at a time when the insider is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company and allows the insider to trade on a one-time or regularly scheduled basis regardless of any material nonpublic information about the Company thereafter received by the insider.Item 5.         Other Information
