First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 4

Operational Highlights

•Total Production Increased by 20% Year-Over-Year: The Company produced 7.7 million silver equivalent ounces ("AgEq"), consisting of 2.8 million ounces of silver and 59,391 ounces of gold representing a 20% increase when compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of Jerritt Canyon which contributed a full quarter in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 62 days in the same quarter of the prior year, and successful ramp up of the Ermitaño mine at Santa Elena.

•Cash Cost per Silver Equivalent Ounce for the quarter was $14.12 per ounce, compared to $14.94 per ounce in the previous quarter. The decrease in cash costs per AgEq ounce was primarily attributed to an increase in AgEq production and costs saving measures implemented. Production at Santa Elena and La Encantada increased by 20% and 34%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, driven by the successful ramp up of the Ermitaño mine and a 30% increase in silver grades at La Encantada compared to the prior quarter. Additionally, the Company has implemented a number of costs saving measures in an effort to combat the inflationary impacts.

•All-in Sustaining Cost ("AISC") per Silver Equivalent Ounce in the second quarter was $19.91 per ounce compared to $20.87 per ounce in the previous quarter. The decrease in AISC per AgEq ounce was primarily attributed to lower cash costs per AgEq ounce as well as a decrease in general and administrative costs and share-based payments during the quarter.

•Record Production at Santa Elena: Strong ore production and improved ore grade from the Ermitaño mine enabled Santa Elena to set an all-time new quarterly production record of 2.2 million AgEq ounces. The Company is now planning for higher production rates from Ermitaño in the second half of 2022 which is expected to result in a projected 28% increase in FY2022 guidance at Santa Elena to between 8.7 to 9.2 million AgEq ounces.

•Restarting West Generator and Saval II Mines at Jerritt Canyon: Underground mining activities began at the West Generator mine at the end of the quarter and the Company expects to start mining activities at Saval II in the fourth quarter. These two new sources of ore feed, along with operational improvements at the SSX and Smith mines, are anticipated to increase the average head grade and nearly double the amount of fresh ore feed to the plant in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, these improvements are expected to significantly reduce unit costs in the second half of 2022.

•Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) Power Plant Expansion at Santa Elena: The Company continued the construction of the LNG power plant expansion project and power line at Santa Elena to provide low-cost, clean energy to the Ermitaño mine and the dual-circuit project in Santa Elena. The power plant is expected to be operational in the third quarter following the installation of LNG generators. In addition, the connection of the Ermitaño transmission power line to the power plant is expected to be completed in August of 2022.

•30 Exploration Drill Rigs Active: The Company completed a total of 76,444 metres of exploration drilling across the Company’s mines during the quarter. Throughout the quarter, a total of 30 drill rigs were active consisting of 11 rigs at San Dimas, 11 rigs at Jerritt Canyon, six rigs at Santa Elena and two rigs at La Encantada.

Financial Highlights

•In the second quarter, the Company generated revenues of $159.4 million compared to $154.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in revenues was primarily attributed to inclusion of a full quarter of production from Jerritt Canyon and the processing of the Ermitaño ore which was partially offset by a lower average realized silver price which averaged $23.93 per ounce during the quarter, a 12% decrease compared to $27.32 in the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Company withheld sales of 0.2 million ounces of silver at the end of the quarter. Had the Company sold the withheld inventory, the Company would have generated approximately $5.2 million in additional revenue using the quarterly average realized price of $23.93 per ounce.

•The Company realized mine operating earnings of $11.6 million compared to mine operating earnings of $29.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in mine operating earnings was primarily attributed to lower metal prices, an increase in cost of sales and depreciation and depletion due to the addition of Jerritt Canyon and Ermitaño, partially offset by an increase in silver equivalent ounces sold. During the quarter, the Company recorded a non-recurring severance cost of $0.6 million relating to restructuring efforts to optimize the workforce with additional reductions planned for the remainder of the year.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 5

•During the quarter, following the completion of a tax audit, a conclusive agreement with the Mexican tax authority, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria ("SAT") was signed by Corporación First Majestic S.A. de C.V. (“CFM”) through Mexico’s Office of the Taxpayer Ombudsman (“PRODECON”) to settle an uncertain tax position concerning Mexican back-to-back loan provisions. The provisions were originally conceived from an anti-avoidance rule and a literal interpretation of the rules would convert most debt financing in Mexico into back-to-back loans. The back-to-back loan provisions establish that interest expense derived from back-to-back loans can be recharacterized as dividends resulting in significant changes to the tax treatment of interest, including withholding taxes. As a result of this recharacterization and in accordance with the agreement, CFM made a one time payment of approximately $21.3 million in the period which has been recognized as a current tax expense during the period. In addition to the payment made, CFM agreed to surrender certain tax loss carry forwards resulting in a non cash deferred tax expense of $54 million.

•Net loss for the quarter was $84.1 million (EPS of ($0.32)) compared to net earnings of $15.6 million (EPS of $0.06) in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net earnings was primarily attributed to a $78.7 million income tax expense compared to an expense of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. This was partially offset by a reversal of impairment recorded at La Guitarra of $7.6 million as the mine was classified as an asset held-for-sale following the announcement in May 2022 to sell the property to Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. for approximately $35 million.

•Adjusted net loss (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter, normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized gain on foreign currency derivatives and impairment reversals as well as certain current and deferred income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $5.7 million (Adjusted EPS of ($0.02)) compared to adjusted net earnings of $12.7 million (Adjusted EPS of $0.05) in the second quarter of 2021.

•Operating cash flow before movements in working capital and taxes in the quarter was an inflow of $33.0 million compared to a cash inflow of $51.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.

•As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $117.7 million and working capital of $199.8 million. Working capital is inclusive of $44.1 million of current restricted cash which is expected to be converted to cash and cash equivalents in the third quarter.

2022 PRODUCTION OUTLOOK AND COST GUIDANCE UPDATE

This section provides management’s revised production outlook and cost guidance for 2022. These are forward-looking estimates and are subject to the cautionary note regarding the risks associated with relying on forward-looking statements at the end of this MD&A. Actual results may vary based on production throughputs, grades, recoveries and changes in economic circumstances.

The Company is revising its second half and full year 2022 guidance to reflect changes due to increased production from the Ermitaño mine and improved milling efficiencies at Santa Elena, improved production tonnages and grades at Jerritt Canyon as well as incorporating changes to metal price assumptions and production impacts from the first half of 2022. Details of the changes and their expected impacts are presented below:

1.Increased production at Santa Elena to between 8.7 to 9.2 million AgEq ounces following higher mine production from the Ermitaño mine along with expected higher-grade ore from the Alejandra de Bajo and America veins at the Santa Elena mine.

2.Completion of Santa Elena’s dual-circuit project to improve metallurgical recoveries of Ermitaño ores and to allow higher plant throughput capacity.

3.Improving dilution controls at San Dimas and prioritizing long-hole stoping of the Jessica and Regina veins to improve ore grade and overall production.

4.At Jerritt Canyon, the Company has accelerated the restart of the West Generator and Saval II mines which are expected to contribute higher tonnages, improved grades and reduced AISC in the second half of 2022. AISC in the second half of 2022 is now projected to be within a range of $1,739 to $1,861 per ounce.

5.At La Encantada, mining is expected to begin at the Ojeulas and Beca-Zone orebodies in the second half of 2022 aimed at increasing ore tonnage and silver grades.

6.Reduced silver price assumptions in the second half of 2022 to $20.50/oz (previously $22.50/oz) but maintained gold price assumptions at $1,750/oz, resulting in a 85:1 silver to gold ratio.

As a result of these adjustments, our 2022 total production remains relatively unchanged at 32.5 to 34.6 million AgEq ounces compared to the prior guidance of 32.2 to 35.8 million AgEq ounces. The Company is also providing guidance below on a mine-by-mine basis for the second half of 2022.

*Consolidated AISC includes general and administrative cost estimates and non-cash costs of $1.30 to $1.41 per AgEq ounce.

In the first half of 2022, the Company produced a total of 14.9 million AgEq ounces consisting of 5.4 million ounces of silver and 118,283 ounces of gold. In the second half of 2022, the Company expects to produce 17.6 to 19.6 million AgEq ounces, or a 25% increase compared the first half of 2022. Silver production is expected to range between 5.8 to 6.5 million ounces, or a 14% increase compared the first half of the year. Additionally, gold production is now expected to be in the range of between 138,000 to 154,000 ounces, or a 23% increase compared to the first half of 2022. The increases in production are primarily due to expected higher ore production from the Ermitaño mine at Santa Elena and improved mine production and gold grades at Jerritt Canyon in the second half of 2022, as well as a higher contribution of AgEq credits due to an increase in the gold to silver ratio.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 7

Cash costs in the second half of 2022 are expected to trend lower to within the range of $12.09 to $12.85 per AgEq ounce, primarily due to higher gold production at both Santa Elena and Jerritt Canyon. In addition, AISC are expected to be within a range of $16.09 to $17.27 per AgEq ounce in the second half of 2022.

A mine-by-mine breakdown of the revised full year 2022 production guidance is included in the table below and assumes the following prices for calculating AgEq ounces are the same as previously stated above.

*Certain amounts shown may not add exactly to the total amount due to rounding differences.

*Consolidated AISC includes general and administrative cost estimates and non-cash costs of $1.44 to $1.52 per AgEq ounce.

For the full year of 2022, the Company now estimates silver production will range between 11.2 to 11.9 million ounces compared to the prior guidance of 12.2 to 13.5 million ounces. Additionally, gold production is estimated to range between 256,000 to 273,000 ounces compared to the prior guidance of 258,000 to 288,000 ounces.

Annual cash costs are now expected to be within the range of $13.21 to $13.69 per ounce or slightly higher than the previous guidance of $12.20 to $12.94 per ounce, primarily due to inflationary pressures and higher costs at Jerritt Canyon in the first half of 2022. In addition, annual AISC are expected to be within a range of $17.68 to $18.42 per AgEq ounce compared to the previous guidance of $16.79 to $18.06 per AgEq ounce.

REVISED CAPITAL BUDGET

In an effort to maintain its strong balance sheet, the Company has updated its annual 2022 capital budget to include the reallocation of development and exploration expenditures across its operations and investments in innovative projects. As a result, the Company has reduced its 2022 capital investments by 4% to $199.5 million consisting of $83.9 million of sustaining investments and $115.6 million of expansionary investments.

The revised 2022 annual budget includes total capital investments of $90.0 million on underground development, $44.5 million towards property, plant and equipment, $36.5 million on exploration and $28.5 million towards efficiency and corporate projects.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Business and Operations

COVID-19 sanitary protocols were established in 2020 at all Company facilities and operations. These protocols include continuous monitoring and testing of workers, use of effective PPE, and other sanitary control measures. These measures have proven effective at managing the pandemic impacts on the Company’s operations and remain in effect.

The Company also continues supporting local communities by sponsoring health professionals, medical and testing equipment, personal protective equipment, medicine and health supplements.

Production

Total production in the second quarter was 7.7 million silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 2.8 million ounces of silver and 59,391 ounces of gold, representing an increase of 6% and 1%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter.

Total ore processed during the quarter at the Company's mines amounted to 903,791 tonnes, representing a 3% increase compared to the previous quarter. The increase in tonnes processed was primarily due to higher throughput rates achieved at Santa Elena and La Encantada and slightly offset by lower processed tonnes at Jerritt Canyon.

Consolidated silver and gold grades in the quarter averaged 114 g/t and 2.29 g/t, respectively, compared to 109 g/t and 2.31 g/t, respectively, in the previous quarter. The 5% increase in consolidated silver grades was primarily due to a 30% increase in silver grades at La Encantada partially offset by a 9% decrease in silver grades at San Dimas. Head grades at Santa Elena and Jerritt Canyon were relatively unchanged compared to the prior quarter.

On a consolidated basis the average silver recoveries were 84% and the average gold recoveries were 89% during the quarter. The Company continued to advance the Santa Elena dual-circuit project in order to increase the leaching performance and metallurgical recoveries of the Santa Elena and Ermitaño ores at the processing plant. A new tailings filter-press, an additional leaching tank and a fourth CCD thickener are expected to be commissioned at Santa Elena in the fourth quarter of 2022. Once the dual circuit project is fully operational the Company expects to achieve significantly higher silver and gold recoveries and throughput.

Cash Cost and All-In Sustaining Cost per Ounce

Cash cost per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $14.12 per ounce, compared to $14.94 per ounce in the previous quarter. The decrease in cash costs per silver equivalent ounce was primarily attributed to an increase in AgEq production at Santa Elena and La Encantada by 20% and 34%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, driven by the successful ramp up of the Ermitaño mine and a 30% increase in silver grades at La Encantada compared to the prior quarter. Additionally, the Company has implemented a number of costs saving measures in an effort to combat the inflationary impacts.

All-in Sustaining Cost per AgEq ounce in the second quarter was $19.91 per ounce compared to $20.87 per ounce in the previous quarter. The decrease in AISC per AgEq ounce was primarily attributed to lower cash costs per AgEq ounce due to higher production as well as lower general and administrative and share-based payments during the quarter.

Additionally, management developed a series of cost reduction initiatives across the organization to improve efficiencies, lower production costs, capital spending, care and maintenance holding costs and corporate G&A costs while also increasing production. This plan includes:

•Renegotiating contracts and reducing external consultants;

•Restructuring to optimize workforce and reduce labour costs;

•Reducing reagent consumption without impacting recoveries or performance;

•Conversion to LNG power with long-term contracts;

•Increasing production at Santa Elena by leveraging the Ermitaño ore and refocusing mining on the mid and higher-grade Alejandra de Bajo and America veins in the Santa Elena mine to improve grade and production;

•Completing the Dual Circuit project to improve metal recovery rates and allow higher plant throughput;

•Improving dilution controls at San Dimas and prioritizing long hole stoping of the Jessica and Regina veins to improve ore grade and production and initiating ore shipments from the higher-grade Perez vein in the third quarter of 2022;

•Developing the newly identified Zone 10 higher-grade ore zone in the Smith mine and accelerating the restart of the West Generator and Saval II mines at Jerritt Canyon while reducing the planned maintenance downtime at the plant to gain more ore volume and better ore grades; and

•Advancing mining at La Encantada towards the Ojeulas and Beca orebodies to generate more ore tonnage and higher ore grades.

Development and Exploration

During the quarter, the Company completed 13,404 metres of underground development and 76,444 metres of diamond drilling, compared to 11,153 metres and 75,225 metres, respectively, in the previous quarter. The increase in exploration metres was primarily attributed to the expanded exploration program at Jerritt Canyon Gold mine.

Throughout the quarter, a total of 30 drill rigs were active consisting of 11 rigs at San Dimas, 11 rigs at Jerritt Canyon, six rigs at Santa Elena and two rigs at La Encantada.

During the second quarter, San Dimas produced 3,046,664 silver equivalent ounces consisting of 1,527,465 ounces of silver and 18,354 ounces of gold, representing a decrease of 6% and 1%, respectively, when compared to the prior quarter.

The mill processed a total of 197,102 tonnes of ore with average silver and gold grades of 257 g/t and 3.01 g/t, respectively, compared to 195,300 tonnes milled with average silver and gold grades of 282 g/t and 3.09 g/t, in the previous quarter. Silver and gold grades were lower in the second quarter compared to the prior quarter due to slightly higher dilution from the long hole stopes in the Jessica and Regina veins. The Company is implementing a recovery plan for the second half of 2022 to reduce dilution and prioritize long hole stoping of the Jessica and Regina veins to improve ore grade and overall production.

Silver and gold recoveries averaged 94% and 96%, respectively, during the quarter.

The Central Block and Sinaloa Graben areas contributed approximately 76% and 24%, respectively, of the total production during the quarter. The Company continued advancing underground development for stope preparation and ventilation within the Perez vein to be ready for initial production in August.

In the second quarter, cash cost per AgEq ounce was $10.41 per ounce compared to $9.41 per ounce in the prior quarter. The increase in cash costs during the quarter was primarily due to a 1% decrease in silver equivalent ounces produced.

AISC per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $14.97 per ounce compared to $12.98 per ounce in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash costs per AgEq ounce along with higher overall sustaining capital expenditures incurred during the quarter.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 12

The San Dimas mine is subject to a gold and silver streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton" or "WPM") which entitles Wheaton to receive 25% of the gold equivalent production (based on a fixed exchange ratio of 70 silver ounces to 1 gold ounce) at San Dimas in exchange for ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $600 (subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment commencing in May 2019) and the prevailing market price, for each gold ounce delivered. Should the average gold to silver ratio over a six-month period exceed 90:1 or fall below 50:1, the fixed exchange ratio would be increased to 90:1 or decreased to 50:1, respectively. The fixed gold to silver exchange ratio as at June 30, 2022 was 70:1. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 , the Company delivered 10,633 ounces (2021 - 11,214 ounces) of gold to WPM at $624 (2021 - $618) per ounce.

During the second quarter, Santa Elena produced a new quarterly record of 2,241,763 silver equivalent ounces consisting of 384,953 ounces of silver and 22,309 ounces of gold representing a 14% increase in both silver and gold production, when compared to the prior quarter. The increase in production was primarily due to processing higher volumes of Ermitaño’s ore which is known to contain higher gold grades than Santa Elena’s ore. Santa Elena processed 228,487 ore tonnes during the quarter compared to total production of 201,911 tonnes in the prior quarter.

Silver and gold grades from Santa Elena averaged 95 g/t and 1.20 g/t, respectively, which represented a decrease of 2% in silver grades and an increase of 6% in gold grades compared to the previous quarter. Silver and gold grades from Ermitaño averaged 45 g/t and 4.86 g/t, respectively, compared to 45 g/t and 4.98 g/t, in the previous quarter.

Consolidated silver and gold recoveries in the second quarter averaged 78% and 93%, respectively, compared to 76% and 95%, respectively, in the prior quarter. The Company continues to advance construction of the dual circuit project at the Santa Elena processing plant which was approximately 82% complete at quarter end. An additional leaching tank and a fourth CCD thickener were installed in the quarter and are anticipated to be commissioned in the third quarter followed by the commissioning of the new tailings filter-press in the fourth quarter. The new tailing filter plant is expected to be fully operational by the end of the year allowing for improved recoveries, increased plant throughput and reduced costs.

During the quarter, the Company advanced the construction of the LNG power plant expansion and power line to provide low-cost, cleaner power to the Ermitaño mine and to support the power requirements for the dual-circuit installations. At the power plant, the structural steel erection inside the powerhouse was completed and the installation of the ventilation fans and overhead crane was completed in July. The construction of the transmission line to join Ermitaño to Santa Elena also advanced with the installation of the electrical poles and approximately 70% of the cable lines. The power line was completed in July 2022 and remains on schedule to be connected to the Santa Elena power plant in the third quarter. The Company plans to install and commission additional LNG generators in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash cost per AgEq ounce in the second quarter was $12.34 per ounce compared to $12.96 per ounce in the previous quarter. The decrease in cash cost was primarily attributed to a 20% increase in silver equivalent ounces produced



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 14

compared to the previous quarter partially offset by increased costs incurred for planned maintenance downtime as well as unexpected failure in the ball mill lubrication system. AISC per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $15.34 per ounce compared to $16.31 per ounce in the prior quarter. The decrease in AISC was primarily driven by the decrease in cash costs per ounce as well as lower capital expenditures during the quarter.

The Santa Elena mine is subject to a gold streaming agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”), which requires the mine to sell 20% of its gold production from the leach pad and a designated area of its underground operations over the life of mine to Sandstorm. The selling price to Sandstorm is currently the lesser of $450 per ounce (subject to a 1% annual inflation increase every April) and the prevailing market price. During the quarter the Company delivered 864 ounces of gold (2021 - 1,669 ounces) to Sandstorm at an average price of $473 per ounce (2021 - $468 per ounce).

Orogen Royalties Inc., formerly Evrim Resource Corp., retains a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty from the sale of mineral products extracted from the Ermitaño mining concessions. In addition, there is an underlying NSR royalty where Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. retains a 2% NSR from the sale of mineral products extracted from the Ermitaño mining concessions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has incurred $1.3 million and $2.6 million (2021 - $nil) in NSR from the production of Ermitaño.

In the second quarter, Santa Elena completed a total of 4,381 metres of underground development, compared to 3,043 metres in the previous quarter. A total of six drill rigs, consisting of four surface rigs and two underground rig, were active at the end of the quarter, completing 19,079 metres of exploration drilling compared to 13,241 metres in the prior quarter.

During the quarter, La Encantada produced 863,510 silver ounces compared to 644,009 silver ounces in the previous quarter, representing a 34% increase in production. The increase was primarily due to a 30% increase in silver grades.

The mill processed a total of 264,555 tonnes with an average silver grade and recovery during the quarter of 141 g/t and 72%, respectively, compared to 249,906 tonnes, 108 g/t and 74%, respectively, in the previous quarter. The increase in grades were the result of additional ore feed being sourced from the new draw points in the Cuerpo 660 and La Prieta areas. The Company continued development activities in the Ojuelas and Beca-Zone orebodies to further increase silver grades in the second half of 2022.

Cash cost per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $14.09 compared to $16.41 in the previous quarter. The decrease in cash cost was primarily due to the 34% increase in silver equivalent ounces produced driven by a 30% increase in the silver grade during the quarter, partially offset by maintenance costs associated with the presence of oversized material in the extraction points which clogged flow and required special handling.

AISC per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $16.65 per ounce compared to $19.63 per ounce in the previous quarter due to lower cash costs incurred in the quarter.

Two underground drill rigs were active on the property at the end of the quarter. A total of 590 metres of underground development was completed in the second quarter compared to 510 metres in the prior quarter. One underground and one surface drill completed 3,942 metres of drilling compared to 1,284 metres in the previous quarter.

Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine, Nevada, United States

The Jerritt Canyon Gold mine is an underground mine located in Northern Nevada, United States. Jerritt Canyon was discovered in 1972 and has been in production since 1981 having produced over 9.5 million ounces of gold over its 40-year production history. The mine was purchased by the Company on April 30, 2021 and currently operates as an underground mine and has one of three permitted gold processing plants in Nevada that uses roasting in its treatment of ore. This processing plant has a capacity of 4,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”). The property consists of a large, under explored land package consisting of 30,821 hectares (119 square miles). Jerritt Canyon is 100% owned by the Company.

During the quarter, Jerritt Canyon produced 18,632 ounces of gold, representing a 10% decrease compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a major failure in the oxygen plant to produce liquid oxygen which significantly reduced roasting capacity over a two-week period in May.

The mill processed a total of 213,647 tonnes with an average gold grade and recovery of 3.40 g/t and 80%, respectively, compared to 230,001 tonnes with an average grade and recovery of 3.39 g/t and 83%, respectively, in the prior quarter. The SSX and Smith mines contributed approximately 58% and 42%, respectively, of the total production in the quarter. The processing of lower ore grade from SSX continued during the quarter which resulted in lower than budgeted ore grades processed in the plant. The Company expects gold grades from the SSX mine will improve in the second half of 2022 as higher-grade ore areas are developed into and extracted following recent successful exploration activities.

The Company continued with rehabilitation efforts in the West Generator underground mine. This new ore resource, along with the restart of the Saval II underground mine in the fourth quarter of 2022 and operational improvements at the SSX mine, are anticipated to increase the average head grade and nearly double the amount of fresh ore feed to the plant. In addition, these improvements are expected to significantly reduce costs in the third and fourth quarter of 2022.

Cash cost per AuEq ounce for the quarter was $1,989 compared to $2,120 in the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a shift towards mine development projects to focus on better defined areas and fresh ore zones rather than remnant mining, partially offset by a 10% decrease in production. AISC per AuEq ounce for the quarter was $2,428 per ounce, compared to $2,488 in the prior quarter primarily due to lower cash costs during the quarter.

A total of eleven drill rigs, consisting of one surface rig and 10 underground rigs, were active during the quarter. A total of 31,067 diamond drilling metres and 2,577 metres of underground development were drilled during the quarter.

Since the acquisition, First Majestic has been developing a long-term mine and exploration plan for the future of the operation. The Company has identified numerous projects that have been implemented or will be implemented over the next 12 to 24 months to improve environmental compliance and production, and reduce costs at the mine and processing plant, including:

9.Obtain permits for potential pushbacks of past-producing open pits for future mill feed (Ongoing)

10.Test over 25 high-priority exploration targets, both near-mine and greenfield (Ongoing)

11.Evaluate and complete ore purchase opportunities with third parties to fill roaster excess capacity (Ongoing)

12.Optimize the underground mining plan and execution of mining with the mine contractor (Ongoing)

13.Develop additional higher-grade ore resources from the West Gen and Saval II underground mines (Ongoing)

14.Converting to more efficient and lower cost long-hole stoping methods where practice, to reduce mining costs (Ongoing)

15.Evaluate and competitively bid all major procurement contracts for services and consumables (Ongoing)

16.Develop a mercury remediation plan for improved capture of off-gas from the roasters and refinery (Ongoing)

It should be noted that a number of the anticipated benefits from these modifications are not yet reflected in the forecasted operating results and are expected to take several quarters to materialize.

San Martin Silver Mine, Jalisco, México

The San Martin Silver Mine is an underground mine located near the town of San Martin de Bolaños in the Bolaños river valley, in the northern portion of the State of Jalisco, México. San Martin has 33 contiguous mining concessions in the San Martin de Bolaños mining district covering mineral rights for 12,795 hectares, plus an application of a new mining concession covering 24,723 hectares to be granted. In addition, the mine owns 160 hectares of surface land where the processing plant, camp, office facilities, maintenance shops, and tailings dams are located, and an additional 640 hectares of surface rights. The 1,300 tpd mill and processing plant consists of crushing, grinding and conventional cyanidation by agitation in tanks and a Merrill-Crowe doré production system. The mine can be accessed via small plane, 150 kilometres from Durango, or 250 kilometres by paved road north of Guadalajara, Jalisco. The San Martin Silver Mine is 100% owned by the Company.

In July 2019, the Company suspended all mining and processing activities at the San Martin operation due to marginal economics and growing insecurity in the area. The Company continues to maintain the mine and plant facilities, including advancing a buttressing project on the TSF2 tailings impoundment. The mine remains in care and maintenance.

La Guitarra Silver Mine, México State, México

The La Guitarra Silver Mine is located in the Temascaltepec Mining District in the State of México, México, approximately 130 kilometres southwest from México City. The La Guitarra mine covers 39,714 hectares of mining claims and has a 500 tpd flotation processing plant, buildings and related infrastructure. The Company owns 100% of the La Guitarra Silver Mine.

The La Guitarra milling and mining operations were placed under care and maintenance effective August 3, 2018.

On May 24, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a share purchase agreement with Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. ("Sierra Madre"), to sell the La Guitarra Compañia Minera S.A. de C.V. ("La Guitarra") silver mine in Mexico for total consideration of approximately $35 million, consisting of 69,063,076 Sierra Madre shares at a deemed price of $0.51 per share. The closing of the transaction requires that Sierra Madre raise a minimum of $7.7 million (CAD $10 million) in a private placement concurrent or prior to the sale. Upon closing, First Majestic will also be granted a 2% net smelter royalty return ("NSR") on all mineral production from the La Guitarra concessions, with the NSR subject to a 1% buy-back option for $2 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022. At June 30, 2022, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the assets and liabilities of La Guitarra were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Immediately prior to the classification to asset and liabilities held for sale, the carrying amount of La Guitarra was remeasured to its recoverable amount, being its fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD"), based on the expected proceeds from the sale. As a result, the Company has recorded a reversal of impairment loss related to the La Guitarra assets of $7.6 million based on the recoverable amount implied by the share purchase agreement.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, out of the impairment reversal of $7.6 million related to La Guitarra, $5.8 million was allocated to depletable mining interest, $1.6 million was allocated to non-depletable mining interest with the remaining $0.3 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, resulting in an impairment reversal of $5.0 million, net of a $2.7 million adjustment to the deferred tax liability. The recoverable amount of La Guitarra, being its FVLCD, was $34.9 million based on the expected proceeds from the sale.

Springpole Silver Stream, Ontario, Canada

In July 2020, the Company completed an agreement with First Mining Gold Corp. (“First Mining”) to purchase 50% of the life of mine payable silver produced from the Springpole Gold Project ("Springpole Silver Stream"), a development stage mining project located in Ontario, Canada. First Majestic agreed to pay First Mining consideration of $22.5 million in cash and shares, in three milestone payments, for the right to purchase silver at a price of 33% of the silver spot price per ounce, to a maximum of $7.50 per ounce (subject to annual inflation escalation of 2%, commencing at the start of the third anniversary of production). Commencing with its production of silver, First Mining must deliver 50% of the payable silver which it receives from the offtaker within five business days of the end of each quarter.

Transaction consideration paid and payable by First Majestic is summarized as follows:

•The first payment of $10.0 million, consisting of $2.5 million in cash and $7.5 million in First Majestic shares (805,698 common shares), was paid to First Mining on July 2, 2020;



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 19

•The second payment, consisting of $3.75 million in cash and $3.75 million in First Majestic shares (287,300 common shares), was paid on January 21, 2021 upon the completion and public announcement by First Mining of the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study for Springpole; and

•The third payment, consisting of $2.5 million in cash and $2.5 million in First Majestic shares (based on 20 days volume weighted average price), will be paid upon receipt by First Mining of a Federal or Provincial Environmental Assessment approval for Springpole, which has not yet been received.

In connection with the agreement, First Mining also granted First Majestic 30 million common share purchase warrants, each of which will entitle the Company to purchase one common share of First Mining at CAD$0.40 over a period of five years. The fair value of the warrants was measured at $5.7 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

First Mining shall have the right to repurchase 50% of the silver stream for $22.5 million at any time prior to the commencement of production at Springpole leaving the Company with a reduced silver stream of 25% of life of mine payable silver production.

Springpole is one of Canada’s largest, undeveloped gold projects with permitting underway. In January 2021, First Mining announced positive results of its Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) which supports a 30,000 tonnes-per-day open pit mining operation over an 11 year mine life. First Mining announced resources of 24.3 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category and 1.4 million ounces of silver in the Inferred category, plus 4.6 million ounces of gold in the Indicated category and 0.3 million ounces of gold in the Inferred category.

The Springpole Project also includes large land holdings of 41,913 hectares which are fully encompassed under the silver streaming agreement.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company has paid $17.5 million in consideration to First Mining as part of the agreement, of which $5.7 million was allocated to other financial assets and $11.8 million was allocated to the Springpole Silver Stream recognized within exploration and evaluation assets.

First Mining is a related party with two independent board members who are also directors and/or officers of First Majestic.

NM - Not meaningful

1.Revenues in the quarter increased $5.4 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year primarily attributed to:

•a 17% increase in payable silver equivalent ounces sold compared to the same quarter of the previous year which resulted in an increase in revenues of $27.6 million. This was primarily due to the addition of the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine on April 30, 2021 and the addition of the Ermitaño mine at Santa Elena in the fourth quarter of 2021;

Partially offset by:

•a decrease in realized silver price per ounce sold, which averaged $23.93 during the quarter compared to $27.32 per ounce in the second quarter of 2021, resulting in a $22.4 million decrease in revenues; and

•0.2 million ounces of silver withheld in inventory at the end of the quarter. Had the Company sold the withheld inventory of 0.2 million ounces of silver, the Company would have generated approximately $5.2 million in additional revenue using the average realized price of $23.93 per ounce.

2.Cost of sales in the quarter increased $17.8 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year primarily due to:

•an increase of $10.0 million due to the addition of the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine which was acquired on April 30, 2021 and therefore contributed towards a full quarter in 2022;

•an increase of $8.9 million at Santa Elena due to the additional ore tonnage processed from the Ermitaño mine which was added in the the fourth quarter of 2021;



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 21

•$3.1 million increase in abnormal costs that were incurred as a result of marginal ore material that was processed to keep the mill running at minimum feed requirements to perform government mandated air compliance test work at the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine;

•an increase in environmental duties and royalties of $1.8 million relating to royalties due from the production of the Ermitaño mine;

•an increase in worker participation costs of $1.8 million relating to updated employment benefits during the year; and

•higher labour, consumables, energy and other costs including insurance, work-in-process and stockpile inventory changes as well as service costs, partially due to inflationary pressures during the quarter;

Partially offset by:

•a $5.6 million decrease in change in finished goods inventory expense primarily due to the initial recognition of the Jerritt Canyon inventory in the same quarter of the prior year.

3.Depletion, depreciation and amortization in the quarter increased $5.3 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year, primarily as a result of:

•an increase of $2.5 million related to depletion at Jerritt Canyon Gold mine due to a higher depletable balance following the finalization of the purchase price allocation in the fourth quarter of 2021 and a reclassification from non-depletable to depletable mining interest in the first quarter of 2022;

•an increase of $2.7 million related to depletion at the San Dimas, Santa Elena and La Encantada mines due to a higher depletable balance of mining interests during the period following the reclassifications from non-depletable to depletable mineral interest in the first quarter of 2022; and

•an increase from the Santa Elena LNG powerplant facility which was not in operation in the same quarter of the prior year and incurred $0.8 million in depreciation.

4.General and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million compared to the same quarter of 2021, primarily to support growth initiatives from the addition of Jerritt Canyon as well as an increase in legal and audit fees during the quarter.

5.Reversal of impairment increased by $7.6 million compared to the same quarter of 2021, attributed to the announcement for the Sale of La Guitarra silver mine in Mexico for total proceeds of $35 million. Immediately prior to the classification to asset and liabilities held-for-sale, the carrying amount of La Guitarra was remeasured to its recoverable amount, being its fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD"), based on the expected proceeds from the sale. As a result, the Company has recorded a reversal of impairment loss in related to the La Guitarra assets of $7.6 million based on the recoverable amount implied by the share purchase agreement.

6.Acquisition costs of $1.8 million in 2021 was in relation to due diligence costs and closing fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of Jerritt Canyon Gold mine which closed on April 30, 2021.

7.Investment and other income for the quarter decreased by $8.2 million compared to the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to an unrealized loss of $3.3 million on the Company's marketable securities, compared to an unrealized gain on the Company's marketable securities of $3.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

8.During the quarter, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $78.7 million compared to an expense of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. During the quarter, following the completion of a tax audit, a conclusive agreement with the Mexican tax authority, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria ("SAT") was signed by Corporación First Majestic S.A. de C.V. (“CFM”) through Mexico’s Office of the Taxpayer Ombudsman (“PRODECON”) to settle an uncertain tax position concerning Mexican back-to-back loan provisions. The provisions were originally conceived from an anti-avoidance rule and a literal interpretation of the rules would convert most debt financing in Mexico into back-to-back loans. The back-to-back loan provisions establish that interest expense derived from back-to-back loans can be recharacterized as dividends resulting in significant changes to the tax treatment of interest, including withholding taxes. As a result of this recharacterization and in accordance with the agreement, CFM made a one time payment of approximately $21.3 million in the period which has been recognized as a current tax expense during the period. In addition to the payment made, CFM agreed to surrender certain tax loss carry forwards resulting in a non cash deferred tax expense of $54 million.

9.As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the quarter was $84.1 million (EPS of ($0.32)) compared to net earnings of $15.6 million (EPS of $0.06) in the same quarter of the prior year.

1.Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $61.7 million or 24% compared to the previous year, primarily attributed to:

•$106.2 million increase due to a 38% increase in payable silver equivalent ounces sold compared to the prior year. This was mainly attributed to the full quarter of quarterly results from the addition of Jerritt Canyon on April 30, 2021 which contributed a full two quarters of revenue in the current year versus 62 days in the prior year, achieving production at the Ermitaño mine in Santa Elena during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the increase in production from the Mexican operations due to the reduced effect of the temporary COVID-19 suspension and units operating with limited workforce levels in the previous year;

Partially offset by:

•$44.7 million decrease due to a 13% decrease in realized silver price per ounce sold, which averaged $23.82 compared to $27.25 in the prior year; and

2.Cost of sales in the year increased $72.0 million or 47% compared to 2021 as a result of the following factors:

•an increase in cost of sales of $55.6 million due to the addition of the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine which was acquired on April 30, 2021;



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 23

•an increase in cost of sales of $14.4 million at Santa Elena due to the additional ore tonnage processed from the Ermitaño mine which was added in the fourth quarter of 2021;

•$3.1 million in abnormal costs that were incurred as a result of marginal ore material that was processed to keep the mill running at minimum feed requirements to perform mandated air compliance test work at the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine; and

3.Depletion, depreciation and amortization in the year increased $20.6 million or 46% compared to the previous year primarily as a result of the addition of the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine, which contributed to an increase of $14.1 million during the year, and a $6.0 million increase from Mexican operations due to an increase in throughput, higher mining interest and property plant and equipment balances during the year.

4.General and administrative expense in the year increased $5.8 million or 42% compared to the prior year, primarily to support growth initiatives from the addition of Jerritt Canyon, an increase in legal and audit fees during the year as well as an increase in employee salaries and benefits including the annual incentive compensation.

5.Share based payments in the year increased $1.4 million primarily attributed to an increase in the fair value of the options granted, restricted and performance share units granted during the year as well as the introduction of the deferred shares units compensation for the independent directors.

6.Reversal of impairment increased by $7.6 million compared to the same quarter of 2021, attributed to the announcement for the Sale of La Guitarra silver mine in Mexico for total proceeds of $35 million. At June 30, 2022, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the assets and liabilities of La Guitarra were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Immediately prior to the classification to asset and liabilities held for sale, the carrying amount of La Guitarra was remeasured to its recoverable amount, being its fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD"), based on the expected proceeds from the sale. As a result, the Company has recorded a reversal of impairment loss in related to the La Guitarra assets of $7.6 million based on the recoverable amount implied by the share purchase agreement.

7.Acquisition costs of $1.8 million in 2021 relates to due diligence costs and closing fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine which closed on April 30, 2021.

8.Investment and other income in the year decreased $2.5 million compared to the previous year primarily due to an unrealized loss of $3.8 million on the Company's marketable securities, compared to an unrealized gain on the Company's marketable securities of $2.3 million in the prior year. Additionally, there was a $2.1 million loss on the write-down of property and equipment in relation to the sale of certain AG mill equipment to Condor Gold PLC in the prior year.

9.Finance costs in the year increased by $1.5 million compared to the previous year primarily due to an increase in the accretion expense for decommissioning liabilities resulting from changes in the asset retirement obligations in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

10.During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $67.0 million, compared to $7.7 million in 2021. During the year, following the completion of a tax audit, a conclusive agreement with the Mexican tax authority, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria ("SAT") was signed by Corporación First Majestic S.A. de C.V. (“CFM”) through Mexico’s Office of the Taxpayer Ombudsman (“PRODECON”) to settle an uncertain tax position concerning Mexican back-to-back loan provisions. The provisions were originally conceived from an anti-avoidance rule and a literal interpretation of the rules would convert most debt financing in Mexico into back-to-back loans. The back-to-back loan provisions establish that interest expense derived from back-to-back loans can be recharacterized as dividends resulting in significant changes to the tax treatment of interest, including withholding taxes. As a result of this recharacterization and in accordance with the agreement, CFM made a one time payment of approximately $21.3 million in the period which has been recognized as a current tax expense during the period. In addition to the payment made, CFM agreed to surrender certain tax loss carry forwards resulting in a non cash deferred tax expense of $54 million.

11.As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $76.8 million (EPS of ($0.29)), compared to net income of $17.5 million (EPS of $0.08) in the prior year.

(“CFM”). As a result, CFM made a payment of approximately $21.3 million in the period which has been recognized as a current tax expense during the period. In addition to the payment made, the Company agreed to surrender certain tax loss carry forwards resulting in a deferred tax expense of $54 million.


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Liquidity

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $117.7 million, comprised primarily of cash held with reputable financial institutions and is invested in cash accounts and in highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less. With the exception of $1.8 million held in-trust for tax audits in Mexico, the Company's cash and cash equivalents are not exposed to liquidity risk and there are no restrictions on the ability of the Company to use these funds to meet its obligations.

Working capital as at June 30, 2022 was $199.8 million compared to $224.4 million at December 31, 2021. Total available liquidity at June 30, 2022 was $299.8 million, including working capital and $100.0 million of undrawn revolving credit facility.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash flow activity during the period:

The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows:



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 25

•Cash used in operating activities of $32.2 million, primarily due to:

•$56.3 million in income taxes paid during the period;

•$44.3 million net change in non-cash working capital items during the period, including a $4.0 million increase in inventories, a $6.3 million increase in prepaid expenses, a $28.7 million decrease in trade payables primarily due to the release of $12.6 million held in escrow for the acquisition of Jerritt Canyon and annual profit sharing payments made in Mexico during the quarter, a $0.4 million decrease in income taxes payable and a $2.3 million increase in restricted cash (PEM frozen bank account), partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in trade and other receivables and a $7.2 million decrease in value added tax ("VAT") receivables;

net of:

•$68.3 million in cash flows from operating activities before movements in working capital and taxes.

•Cash used in investing activities of $106.8 million, primarily related to:

•$81.3 million spent on mine development and exploration activities;

•$24.4 million spent on purchase of property, plant and equipment;

•$4.9 million spent on deposits on non-current assets;

•$1.4 million spent on the purchase of marketable securities;

net of:

•$2.5 million of net proceeds from the settlement of derivatives; and

•$2.7 million of net proceeds from the disposal of marketable securities.

•Cash provided by financing activities of $23.6 million, primarily consists of the following:

•$30.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares through the ATM;

•$3.3 million of net proceeds from the exercise of stock options;

net of:

•$6.0 million on repayment of lease obligations;

•$3.6 million for the payment of dividends during the year; and

•$0.7 million payment of financing costs.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022 the Company received $19.6 million (399.9 million MXN) related to value added tax filings. In connection with the PEM tax ruling, the tax authority has frozen a PEM bank account with cumulative funds of $69.6 million as a guarantee against certain disputed tax assessments which are currently held within the Company's restricted cash accounts. This balance consists of VAT refunds that the Company has received which were previously withheld by the tax authority. The Company does not agree with SAT's position and is challenging the freezing of the bank account through the relevant legal channels.

Current Restricted Cash includes $39.1 million related to the cash bonds held with the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) and the US Forestry Service (“USFS”) which were replaced with surety bonds to fund ongoing reclamation and mine closure obligations. As part of this agreement, the Company made a $5 million collateral payment, of which subsequent to June 30th, was replaced by a letter of credit. The NDEP and USFS have provided correspondence confirming that the funds will be returned to the Company in the third quarter of 2022 therefore, the total of $44.1 million, has been re-classified to current restricted cash at June 30, 2022. Upon receipt of these funds from the NDEP and USFS, the total current restricted cash balance of $44.1 million will be reclassified to cash and cash equivalents.

Capital Resources

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain financial flexibility to continue as a going concern while optimizing growth and maximizing returns of investments from shareholders.

The Company monitors its capital structure and based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may adjust the structure by repurchasing shares, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or retiring existing debt. The Company prepares an annual budget and quarterly forecasts to facilitate the management of its capital requirements. The annual budget is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 26

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with banking covenants defined in its debt facilities. As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was fully in compliance with these covenants.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As at June 30, 2022, the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments are summarized as follows:


	Contractual Cash Flows	Less than 1 year	2 to 3 years	4 to 5 years	After 5 years
Trade and other payables	$101,665	$101,665	$—	$—	$—
Debt facilities	235,500	1,425	2,709	231,366	—
Lease liabilities	43,318	12,380	21,795	8,080	1,063
Other liabilities	6,716	—	—	—	6,716
Purchase obligations and commitments	13,995	13,995	—	—	—
	$401,194	$129,465	$24,504	$239,446	$7,779

At June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital of $199.8 million (2021 – $224.4 million) and total available liquidity of $299.8 million (2021 – $274.4 million), including $100.0 million of undrawn revolving credit facility.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand, combined with cash flows from operations, to meet operating requirements as they arise for at least the next 12 months.


MANAGEMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk relates primarily to chartered banks, trade receivables in the ordinary course of business, value added taxes receivable and other receivables.

As at June 30, 2022, VAT receivable was $38.4 million (December 31, 2021 - $47.1 million), of which $22.1 million (December 31, 2021 - $22.2 million) relates to Minera La Encantada S.A. de C.V. ("MLE") and $14.1 million (December 31, 2021 - $22.0 million) relates to PEM. The SAT commenced processing VAT refund requests by PEM in June 2021 and the Company expects the amounts to be refunded within the next twelve months.

The Company sells and receives payment upon delivery of its silver doré and by-products primarily through three international customers. All of the Company's customers have good ratings and payments of receivables are scheduled, routine and fully received within 60 days of submission; therefore, the balance of trade receivables owed to the Company
in the ordinary course of business is not significant.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. With the exception to the above, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 27

Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily relating to financial instruments that are denominated in Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos, which would impact the Company’s net earnings or loss. To manage foreign exchange risk, the Company may occasionally enter into short-term foreign currency derivatives, such as forwards and options, to hedge its cash flows.

The sensitivity of the Company’s net earnings or loss and comprehensive income or loss due to changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian Dollar and the Mexican Peso against the U.S. Dollar is included in the table below:


	June 30, 2022
	Cash and cash equivalents	Restricted cash	Value added taxes receivable	Other financial assets	Trade and other payables	Foreign exchange derivative	Net assets (liabilities) exposure	Effect of +/- 10% change in currency
Canadian dollar	$45,830	$4	$—	$4,308	($2,119)	$—	$48,023	$4,802
Mexican peso	15,050	69,506	34,761	—	(45,291)	20,000	94,026	9,403
	$60,880	$69,510	$34,761	$4,308	($47,410)	$20,000	$142,049	$14,205

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on silver and gold, which have a direct and immediate impact on the value of its related financial instruments and net earnings. The Company’s revenues are directly dependent on commodity prices that have shown volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its commodity price risk to silver or gold.

The following table summarizes the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk and their impact on net earnings:


		June 30, 2022
	Effect of +/- 10% change in metal prices
	Silver	Gold	Total

Metals in doré inventory	$2,522	$515	$3,037
	$2,522	$515	$3,037

Political and Country Risk

First Majestic currently conducts foreign operations in México and the United States, and as such the Company’s operations are exposed to various levels of political and economic risks by factors outside of the Company’s control. These potential factors include, but are not limited to: royalty and tax increases or claims by governmental bodies, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, expropriation or nationalization, foreign exchange controls, high rates of inflation, extreme fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, import and export tariffs and regulations, lawlessness, cancellation or renegotiation of contracts and environmental and permitting regulations. The Company currently has no political risk insurance coverage against these risks.

The Company is unable to determine the impact of these risks on its future financial position or results of operations. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in foreign countries may substantively affect the Company’s exploration, development and production activities.

Uncertainty in the Calculation of Mineral Reserves, Resources and Silver Recovery

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources (as defined in NI 43-101). Until Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources are actually mined, extracted and processed, the quantity of minerals and their grades must be considered estimates only. In addition, the quantity of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources may vary depending on, among other things, applicable metal prices. Any material change in the quantity of Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources, grade or mining widths may affect the economic viability of some or all of the Company’s mineral properties and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operational results and financial condition. Mineral Reserves on the Company’s properties have been calculated on the basis of economic factors at the time of calculation; variations in such factors may have an impact on the amount of the Company’s Mineral Reserves. In addition,



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 28

there can be no assurance that silver recoveries or other metal recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production, or that the existing known and experienced recoveries will continue.

Public Health Crises

Global financial conditions and the global economy in general have experienced, at various times in the past and potentially in the future, extreme volatility in response to economic shocks or other events, such as the ongoing situation concerning COVID‐19. Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by volatile market conditions in response to the widespread outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises. Such public health crises and the responses of governments and private actors can result in disruptions and volatility in economies, financial markets, and global supply chains as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could impact commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation.

The Company's business could be materially adversely affected by the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic. As of the date of this MD&A, the global spread of COVID‐19 continues to result in, among other things, restrictions in many jurisdictions on travel and gatherings of individuals, quarantines, temporary business closures and a general reduction in consumer activity. Due to the potential for new variants of COVID-19, future disruptions to business internationally and related financial impact on the Company and the economy in general cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty at this time. In addition, the long-term impact of the pandemic on global economies and financial markets remains uncertain and could result in a protracted economic downturn that could have an adverse effect on the demand for precious metals and the Company's future prospects.

In particular, the continued spread of COVID‐19 globally and emergence of new variants could materially and adversely impact the Company's business, including without limitation, employee health, workforce availability and productivity, limitations on travel, supply chain disruptions, increased insurance premiums, increased costs and reduced efficiencies, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on the Company's exploration and drilling programs and/or the timing to process drill and other metallurgical testing and the slowdown or temporary suspension of operations at some or all of the Company's properties, resulting in reduced production volumes. Although the Company has the capacity to continue certain administrative functions remotely, many other functions, including mining operations, cannot be conducted remotely.

During 2022, the Company continued to implement preventative control measures to protect the safety and health of our employees, contractors, and communities in which we operate, including social distancing, remote working, cancellation of any non-essential visits to the mines, comprehensive sanitation measures for the workplace and company transportation, and pre-screening for virus symptoms. The Company’s Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) laboratory in Durango, Mexico, supported these initiatives.

The Company continues to monitor the various government health measures in the jurisdictions where we operate and there are no COVID-19-related restrictions on mine operations at this time.

There is no guarantee that the Company will not experience significant disruptions to or additional closures of some or all of its active mining operations due to COVID-19 restrictions in the future. Any such disruptions or closures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s production, revenue, net income and business. In addition, parties with whom the Company does business or on whom the Company is reliant, including suppliers and refineries may also be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis which may in turn cause further disruption to the Company’s business, including delays or halts in availability or delivery of consumables and delays or halts in refining of ore from the Company’s mines. Any long-term closures or suspensions may also result in the loss of personnel or the workforce in general as employees seek employment elsewhere.

The impact of COVID‐19 and government responses thereto may also continue to have a material impact on financial markets and could constrain the Company's ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future, which may have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Environmental and Health and Safety Risks

The Company’s activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing environmental protection and employee health and safety. Environmental laws and regulations are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. The Company is required to obtain governmental permits and in some instances air, water quality, and mine reclamation



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 29

rules and permits. The Company has complied with environmental taxes applied to the use of certain fossil fuels according to the Kyoto Protocol. Although the Company makes provisions for reclamation costs, it cannot be assured that these provisions will be adequate to discharge its future obligations for these costs. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and safety laws may result in injunctions, damages, suspension or revocation of permits and imposition of penalties. While the health and safety of our people and responsible environmental stewardship are our top priorities, there can be no assurance that First Majestic has been or will be at all times in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits, or that the costs of complying with current and future environmental and health and safety laws and permits will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

On August 26, 2021, the NDEP issued 10 Notices of Alleged Violation (collectively the “NOAV”) that alleged the Company doing business as Jerritt Canyon Gold, LLC had violated various air permit conditions and regulations applicable to operations at the Jerritt Canyon in Elko County, Nevada. The NOAV are related to compliance with emission monitoring, testing, recordkeeping requirements, and emission and throughput limits.

The Company filed a Notice of Appeal on September 3, 2021, challenging the NOAV before the Nevada State Environmental Commission (“NSEC”). The Company raised various defenses to the NOAV, including that the Company is not liable for the violations because it was never the owner/operator of Jerritt Canyon during the period the alleged violations began (on April 30, 2021, the Company acquired Jerritt Canyon Canada Ltd, which, through subsidiaries, owns and operates Jerritt Canyon). There is currently no hearing scheduled or any scheduling order in the matter, and the parties have yet to engage in discovery.

On March 8, 2022, NDEP issued an additional four Notices of Alleged Violations to Jerritt Canyon Gold, LLC for alleged exceedances and violations of an Air Quality Operating permit and Mercury Operating Permit to Construct. The new NOAVs relate to alleged exceedances of a mercury emission limitations, exceedances of operating parameters, installation of equipment, and recordkeeping requirements. The Company filed a Request for Hearing with the Nevada State Environmental Commission on March 18, 2022 that challenged the bases for the alleged NOAVs and any potential penalties associated with the NOAVs. JCG and NDEP agreed to waive the 20-day hearing requirement for the NOAVs and the parties request that the NSEC withhold schedule a hearing for the NOAVs at this time. At this time the estimated amount cannot be reliably determined.

Claims and Legal Proceedings Risks

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: availability of time on court calendars in Canada and elsewhere; the recognition of Canadian judgments under Mexican law; the possibility of settlement discussions; the risk of appeal of judgment; and the insufficiency of the defendant’s assets to satisfy the judgment amount. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavourably to the Company. First Majestic carries liability insurance coverage and establishes provisions for matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in a significant impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify ownership and legal title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of mining, development and exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers, and title may be affected by undetected defects. However, management is not aware of any such agreements, transfers or defects.

Primero Tax Rulings

When Primero, the previous owner of San Dimas acquired the San Dimas Mine in August 2010, it assumed the obligations under a Silver Purchase Agreement (“Old Stream Agreement”) that required its subsidiary PEM to sell to WPMI all the silver produced from the San Dimas mine, up to 6 million ounces and 50% of silver produced thereafter, at the lower of: (i) the spot market price and (ii) $4.014 per ounce plus an annual increase of 1%.

In order to reflect the commercial terms and the effects of the Old Stream Agreement, for Mexican income tax purposes, PEM recognized the revenue on these silver sales based on its actual realized revenue (“PEM Realized Price”) instead of at spot market prices.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 30

To obtain assurance that the SAT would accept the PEM Realized Price as the price to use to calculate Mexican income taxes, Primero applied for and received on October 4, 2012, an Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) from the SAT for taxation years 2010 to 2014. The APA confirmed that the PEM Realized Price could be used as Primero’s basis for calculating taxes owed by PEM for the silver sold under the Old Stream Agreement. The purpose of the APA was to have SAT provide tax certainty and as a result Primero and PEM made significant investments in Mexico based on that certainty.

In February 2016, PEM received a legal claim from the SAT seeking to nullify the APA. The legal claim did not identify any alternative basis for paying taxes.

In 2019, the SAT issued reassessments for the 2010 to 2012 tax years in the total amount of $246.0 million (4,919 million MXN) inclusive of interest, inflation, and penalties. In 2021, the SAT also issued a reassessment against PEM for the 2013 tax year in the total amount of $136.2 million (2,723 million MXN) (collectively, the "Reassessments"). The Company believes that the Reassessments were issued in violation of the terms of the APA. The key items in the Reassessments include determining revenue on the sale based on the silver spot market price, denial of the deductibility of interest expense and service fees, SAT technical error related to double counting of taxes, and interest and penalties.

The Company continues to defend the APA in the Mexican legal proceedings, and initiated proceedings under relevant tax treaties between the competent tax authorities of Mexico, Canada, Luxembourg and Barbados, all of which were subsequently dismissed on a unilateral basis by the SAT ("Dismissals") in May 2020. The Company believes that the Dismissals breach international obligations regarding double taxation treaties, and also that the APA remains valid and legally binding. The Company will continue disputing the Reassessments, exhausting its domestic and international remedies.

While the Company continues to vigorously defend the validity of the APA and its transfer pricing position, it is also engaging in various proceedings against the SAT seeking to resolve matters and bring tax certainty through a negotiated solution. Despite these extensive efforts and ongoing legal challenges to the Reassessments and the Dismissals, in April 2020 and February 2021, SAT issued notifications to PEM to attempt to secure amounts it claims are owed pursuant to its reassessments issued. These notifications impose certain restrictions on PEM including its ability to dispose of its concessions and real properties, and to restrict access to funds within its bank account, the latter as disclosed in Note 19 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Company has challenged SAT’s Reassessments and Dismissals through all domestic means available to it, including annulment suits before the Mexican Federal Tax Court on Administrative Matters ("Federal Court"), which remain unresolved, and a complaint before Mexico’s Federal Taxpayer Defense Attorney's Office (known as “PRODECON”). The Company believes that the actions of the SAT are neither fair nor equitable, are discriminatory against the Company as a foreign investor, amount to a denial of justice under international law, and furthermore violate various provisions of the Federal Constitution of the United Mexican States, Mexican domestic law, and Mexican court precedents.

On May 13, 2020, the Company provided to the Government of Mexico notice of its intention to initiate an international arbitration proceeding (“Notice of Intent”) pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). The Notice of Intent commenced a 90-day period for the Government of Mexico to enter into good faith and amicable negotiations with the Company to resolve the dispute. On August 11, 2020, the 90-day period expired without any resolution of the dispute.

In September 2020, the Company was served with a decision of the Federal Court seeking to nullify the APA granted to PEM. The Federal Court’s decision directs SAT to re-examine the evidence and basis for the issuance of the APA with retroactive effect, for the following key reasons:

(i) SAT’s errors in analyzing PEM’s request for the APA and the evidence provided in support of the request; and

(ii) SAT’s failure to request from PEM certain additional information before issuing the APA.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 31

The Company’s legal advisors having reviewed the written reasons have advised that the Federal Court’s decision is flawed both due to SAT's procedural irregularities and failure to address the relevant evidence and legal authorities. In addition, they consider that the laws applied to PEM in the decision are unconstitutional. As a result, the Company filed an appeal of the decision to the Mexican Circuit Courts on November 30, 2020. Since two writs of certiorari were filed before the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice, on April 15, 2021, the Plenary of the Supreme Court i) admitted one of those writs, ii) requested the Circuit Court to send the appeal file and iii) assigned such writ to the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court for issuing the corresponding decision. The other writ of certiorari has not been admitted by the Plenary of the Supreme Court. Therefore, the Company is currently waiting for the Supreme Court to issue a resolution towards such writs of certiorari.

The Company intends to continue to challenge the actions of the SAT in Mexican courts. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Mexican courts continues to be available only on a restricted basis for further hearings on these matters.

On March 2, 2021, the Company announced that it submitted a Request for Arbitration to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID"), on its own behalf and on behalf of PEM, based on Chapter 11 of NAFTA. On March 31, 2021, the Notice of Registration of the Request for Arbitration was issued by the ICSID Secretariat. Once the NAFTA Arbitration Panel (the “Tribunal”) was fully constituted by the appointment of all three panel members on August 20, 2021, the NAFTA Arbitration Proceedings (the “NAFTA Proceedings”) were deemed to have commenced. The first session of the NAFTA Proceedings was held by videoconference on September 24, 2021 to decide upon the procedural rules which will govern the NAFTA Proceedings. The Tribunal issued Procedural Order No. 1 on October 21, 2021. Thereafter, on April 26, 2022, the Company submitted its Claimant’s Memorial including expert reports and witness statements to the Tribunal. Mexico is required to respond to the Claimant’s Memorial by November 24, 2022.

If the SAT were to be successful in retroactively nullifying the APA, the SAT may seek to audit and reassess PEM in respect of its sales of silver pursuant to the Old Stream Agreement for 2010 through 2014. Such an outcome would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Should the Company ultimately be required to pay tax on its silver revenues based on spot market prices without any mitigating adjustments, the incremental income tax for the years 2010-2019 would be approximately $244.7 million (4,703 million MXN), before taking into consideration interest or penalties.

Based on the Company’s consultation with third party advisors, the Company believes PEM filed its tax returns in compliance with applicable Mexican law and, therefore, at this time no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

To the extent it is ultimately determined that the appropriate price of silver sales under the Old Stream Agreement is significantly different from the PEM Realized Price and while PEM would have rights of appeal in connection with any reassessments, it is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

La Encantada Tax Re-assessments

In December 2019, as part of the ongoing annual audits of the tax returns of Minera La Encantada S.A. de C.V. and Corporacion First Majestic S.A. de C.V., the SAT issued tax assessments for fiscal 2013 for corporate income tax in the amount of $4.4 million (88.4 million MXN) and $14.1 million (282 million MXN), respectively including interest, inflation and penalties. The key items relate to forward silver purchase agreement and denial of the deductibility of mine development costs and service fees. The Company continues to defend the validity of the forward silver purchase agreement and will vigorously dispute the assessments that have been issued. The Company, based on advice from legal and financial advisors believes MLE’s tax filings were appropriate and its tax filing position is correct, therefore no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

Corporación First Majestic Back-to-Back Loans

During the quarter, following the completion of a tax audit, a conclusive agreement with the SAT was signed by Corporación First Majestic S.A. de C.V. (“CFM”) through Mexico’s Office of the Taxpayer Ombudsman (“PRODECON”) to settle an uncertain tax position concerning Mexican back-to-back loan provisions. The provisions were originally conceived from an



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 32

anti-avoidance rule and a literal interpretation of the rules would convert most debt financing in Mexico into back-to-back loans. The back-to-back loan provisions establish that interest expense derived from back-to-back loans can be recharacterized as dividends resulting in significant changes to the tax treatment of interest, including withholding taxes. As a result of this recharacterization and in accordance with the conclusive agreement, CFM made a one time payment of approximately $21.3 million in the period which has been recognized as a current tax expense during the period. In addition to the payment made, CFM agreed to surrender certain tax loss carry forwards resulting in a deferred tax expense of $54 million.


OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Share Repurchase Program

The Company has an ongoing share repurchase program to repurchase up to 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The normal course issuer bids will be carried through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and alternative Canadian marketplaces.

No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2022, the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements such as contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity, derivative instruments obligations or any obligations that generate financing, liquidity, market or credit risk to the Company, other than contingent liabilities and vendor liability and interest, as disclosed in this MD&A and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Related Party Disclosures

Amounts paid to related parties were incurred in the normal course of business and measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount agreed upon by the transacting parties and on terms and conditions similar to non-related parties.

In July 2020, the Company completed the agreement with First Mining Gold Corp., to purchase 50% of the payable silver produced from the Springpole Gold Project for total consideration of $22.5 million in cash and shares, over three payments, for the silver stream which covers the life of the Springpole project. First Mining is a related party with two independent board members who are directors and/or officers of First Majestic.

With the exception of the agreement with First Mining Gold Corp., there were no transactions with related parties outside of the ordinary course of business during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Outstanding Share Data

As at August 3, 2022, the Company has 262,765,301 common shares issued and outstanding.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The following significant events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2022:

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

On August 3, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved the declaration of its quarterly common share dividend of $0.0061 per share, payable on or after August 31, 2022, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2022. These dividends were declared subsequent to the quarter end and have not been recognized as distributions to owners during the period ended June 30, 2022.

At-the-Market Distributions ("ATM") Programs

In July 2022, the Company filed prospectus supplements to its short form base shelf prospectus, pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion and from time-to-time, sell common shares of the Company for aggregate gross proceeds of



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 33

up to $100.0 million. The sale of common shares is to be made through “at-the-market distributions” ("ATM"), as defined in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions, directly on the New York Stock Exchange.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company previously announced that it has received regulatory consent to extend its share repurchase program pursuant to a normal course issuer bid in the open market over the next 12 months. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase, the Company has the ability to repurchase up to 10,000,000 common shares of the Company. All common shares, if any, purchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase will be cancelled. The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and its future business prospects. The Company believes that at such times the purchase of common shares would be in the best interests of the Company. Such purchases are expected to benefit all remaining shareholders by increasing their proportionate equity interest in the Company. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased 100,000 common shares at an average price of CDN $8.52 per share as part of the Share Repurchase Program.


ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in critical accounting judgments and estimates that were significantly different from those disclosed in the Company’s annual MD&A as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the following accounting policies, critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies:

Assets and Liabilities Held-for-Sale:

Accounting Policy:

A non-current asset or disposal group of assets and liabilities ("disposal group") is classified as held-for-sale, if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and when the following criteria are met:

(i) The non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; and

(ii) The sale of the non-current asset or disposal group is highly probable. For the sale to be highly probable:

•The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group;

•An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated;

•The non-current asset or disposal group must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value;

•The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale (with certain exceptions); and

•Actions required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale from the date these criteria are met and are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell ("FVLCTS"). If the FVLCTS is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in net earnings. Upon classification as held for sale, non-current assets are no longer depreciated.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 34

Significant estimates and judgements:

In determining the probability of the sale being completed within a year, management has considered a number of factors including necessary approvals from management, the Board of Directors, regulators and shareholders.

New and amended IFRS standards that are effective for the current year

In the current year, the Company has applied the below amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that were effective for annual periods that begin on or after January 1, 2022. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.

The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2022 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendment to IAS 37)

The amendments clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous comprise both the incremental costs and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling the contract. The amendments apply to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first applied. On adoption of this amendment, there was no impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at June 30, 2022:

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current.

The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments—Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term "significant accounting policies" with "material accounting policy information". Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material. The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.

The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted and are applied prospectively. The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 do not contain an effective date or transition requirements. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 35

Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors—Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”.

The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

• A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of
an error

• The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are
changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the beginning of that period, with earlier application permitted. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)

In May 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board issued targeted amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although earlier application is permitted. With a view to reducing diversity in reporting, the amendments will clarify that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognized, such as with leases and decommissioning liabilities. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.


NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company has included certain non-GAAP measures including “Cash costs per silver equivalents ounce”, "All-in sustaining cost per silver equivalent ounce", “Production cost per tonne”, “Average realized silver equivalent price”, "Average realized gold price", “Adjusted earnings per share”, “Free cash flow” and "Working capital” to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS. The terms IFRS and generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are used interchangeably throughout this MD&A.

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company transitioned its cost reporting from Cost per Silver Ounce to Cost per Silver Equivalent ("AqEq") Ounce basis. Management believes the change to using silver equivalent ounce will provide management and investors with an improved ability to evaluate operating performance of the Company, as it eliminates volatility in Cash Cost and AISC per ounce due to market volatility in silver and gold prices as well as timing of by-product credit sales. Prior period comparatives of Cash Cost and AISC per ounce have been updated to be consistent with the new AgEq ounce metric.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 36

Cash Cost per AgEq Ounce, All-In Sustaining Cost per AgEq Ounce and Production Cost per Tonne

Cash costs per AgEq ounce and total production cost per tonne are non-GAAP performance measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of the Company’s operating mining units, in conjunction with the related GAAP amounts. These metrics are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance but do not have a standardized meaning and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures. Management and investors use these metrics for comparing the costs against peers in the industry and for assessing the performance of each mine within the portfolio.

Management calculates the cash costs per ounce and production costs per tonne by:

•starting with the production costs (GAAP) from the income statement;

•adding back duties and royalties, smelting and refining costs as well as transportation and selling costs, which form a part of the cost of sales on the financial statements and provide a better representation of total costs incurred;

•cash costs are divided by the payable silver equivalent ounces produced; and

•production costs are divided by the total tonnes milled.

AISC is a non-GAAP performance measure and was calculated based on guidance provided by the World Gold Council (“WGC”). WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements. Other mining companies may calculate AISC differently as a result of differences in underlying accounting principles and policies applied, as well as differences in definitions of sustaining versus expansionary capital expenditures. AISC is a more comprehensive measure than cash cost per ounce and is useful for investors and management to assess the Company’s operating performance by providing greater visibility, comparability and representation of the total costs associated with producing silver from its current operations, in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. AISC helps investors to assess costs against peers in the industry and help management assess the performance of each mine within the portfolio in a standardized manner.

The Company defines sustaining capital expenditures as, “costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of productive output without resulting in an increase in the life of assets, future earnings, or improvements in recovery or grade. Sustaining capital includes costs required to improve/enhance assets to minimum standards for reliability, environmental or safety requirements. Sustaining capital expenditures excludes all expenditures at the Company’s new projects and certain expenditures at current operations which are deemed expansionary in nature.”

Expansionary capital expenditure is defined as, "costs incurred to extend existing assets beyond their current productive capacity and beyond their planned levels of productive output, resulting in an increase in the life of the assets, increasing their future earnings potential, or improving their recoveries or grades which would serve to increase the value of the assets over their useful lives". Development and exploration work which moves inferred resources to measured or indicated resources and adds to the Net Present Value of the assets is considered expansionary in nature. Expansionary capital also includes costs required to improve/enhance assets beyond their minimum standard for reliability, environmental or safety requirements.

Consolidated AISC includes total production costs (GAAP measure) incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which forms the basis of the Company’s total cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general and administrative expense, share-based payments, operating lease payments and reclamation cost accretion. AISC by mine does not include certain corporate and non-cash items such as general and administrative expense and share-based payments. The Company believes this measure represents the total sustainable costs of producing silver from current operations, and provides additional information of the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of silver production from current operations, new project and expansionary capital at current operations are not included. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, dividends and financing costs are also not included.

Average Realized Silver Price per Silver Equivalent Ounce

Revenues are presented as the net sum of invoiced revenues related to delivered shipments of silver or gold doré bars, including associated metal by-products of lead and zinc after having deducted refining and smelting charges, and after elimination of intercompany shipments of silver, silver being minted into coins, ingots and bullion products.

The average realized silver price is a non-GAAP performance measure that allows management and investors to assess the Company's ability to sell ounces produced, in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. Management calculates this measure by taking total revenue reported under GAAP and adding back smelting and refining charges to arrive at the gross reportable revenue for the period. Gross revenues are divided into payable silver equivalent ounces sold to calculate the average realized price per ounce of silver equivalents sold. The streaming and royalty agreements in place between the Company and Sandstorm as well as Wheaton, impacts the total revenues reported on the financial statements given the reduced prices provided to these vendors in line with the terms of the agreements. Therefore, management adjusts revenue to exclude smelting and refining charges as well as revenues earned through agreements with these vendors. This provides management with a better picture regarding its ability to convert ounces produced to ounces sold and provides the investor with a clear picture of the price that the Company can currently sell the inventory for, excluding pre-arranged agreements.

Average Realized Gold Price per Ounce

The average realized gold price is a non-GAAP performance measure that allows management and investors to assess the Company's ability to sell ounces produced, in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. Management calculates this measure by taking total revenue reported under GAAP and adding back smelting and refining charges to arrive at the gross reportable revenue for the period. Silver revenues are deducted from the reportable revenue for the period in order to arrive at the gold revenue for the period. Gross gold revenues are divided into gold ounces sold to calculate the average realized price per ounce of gold sold. The streaming and royalty agreements in place between the Company and Sandstorm as well as Wheaton, impacts the total revenues reported on the financial statements given the reduced prices provided to these vendors in line with the terms of the agreements. Therefore, management adjusts revenue to exclude smelting and refining charges as well as revenues earned through agreements with these vendors.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure which is determined based on operating cash flows less sustaining capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a critical measure in the evaluation of liquidity in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. It also uses the measure when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to dividends and discretionary investments. Further, it helps management, the Board of Directors and investors evaluate a Company's ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.

Adjusted Earnings per Share (“Adjusted EPS”)

The Company uses the financial measure “Adjusted EPS” which is a non-GAAP measure, to supplement earnings per share (GAAP) information in its condensed interim consolidated financial statements . The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance.

Management uses adjusted earnings per share as a critical measure operating performance in conjunction with the related GAAP amounts. The only items considered in the adjusted earnings-per-share calculation are those that management believes (1) may affect trends in underlying performance from year to year and (2) are not considered normal recurring cash operating expense.

Adjusted earnings per share is used for forecasting, operational and strategic decision making, evaluating current Company and management performance, and calculating financial covenants. Management believes that excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring items from the calculation increases comparability of the metric from period to period, which makes it useful for management, the audit committee and investors, to evaluate the underlying core operations. The presentation of Adjusted EPS is not meant to be a substitute for EPS presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measure.

To calculate adjusted earnings per share, management adjusts from net earnings (GAAP), the per-share impact, net of the tax effects of adjustments, of the following:

•share based payments;

•realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment in derivatives and marketable securities; and

•other infrequent or unusual losses and gains.

The following table provides a detailed reconciliation of net earnings (losses) as reported in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements to adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS:

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the results of that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of its CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

•maintain records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB;

•provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company’s Directors; and

• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

The Company's management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based upon the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management's evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2022. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 45

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any control system also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Cautionary Note regarding Reserves and Resources

National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators, lays out the standards of disclosure for mineral projects. This includes a requirement that a certified Qualified Person (“QP”) (as defined under the NI 43-101) supervises the preparation of the mineral reserves and mineral resources. Ramon Mendoza, P. Eng., Vice President



First Majestic Silver Corp. 2022 Second Quarter Report						Page 46

of Technical Services is a certified QP for the Company and has reviewed this MD&A for QP technical disclosures. All NI 43-101 technical reports can be found on the Company’s website at www.firstmajestic.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and contained in Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”). Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report mineral reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any mineral reserve or cash flow analysis to designate mineral reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101. However, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements of United States companies filed with the Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations. In contrast, the Commission only permits U.S. companies to report mineralization that does not constitute “mineral reserves” by Commission standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
