Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022. The condensed consolidated December 31, 20202021 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (the “2020“2021 10-K”).
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 2 --— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 20202021 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to metal prices and mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of production amortization calculations, environmental, reclamation and closure obligations, estimates of recoverable silver and gold in leach pad inventories, estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments, equity securities, asset acquisitions, the allocation of fair value to assets and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, and derivative instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results will differ from the amounts estimated in these financial statements.
Ore on Leach PadsProperties Held for Sale
The heap leach process extracts silver and gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applyingIn determining whether to classify a diluted cyanide solutionproperty as held for sale, the Company considers whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the investment is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) the Company has initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) the Company believes that dissolves a portionthe sale of the contained silver and gold, which are then recovered in metallurgical processes.
Theproperty is probable; (v) the Company uses several integrated steps to scientifically measure the metal content of ore placed on the leach pads. As the ore body is drilled in preparationhas received a significant non-refundable deposit for the blasting process, samples are takenpurchase of the drill residue which are assayedproperty; (vi) the Company is actively marketing the property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to determineits estimated quantities of contained metal. The Company then processes the ore through crushing facilities where the output is again weighedfair value; and sampled(vii) actions required for assaying. A metallurgical reconciliation with the data collected from the mining operation is completed with appropriate adjustments made to previous estimates. The crushed ore is then transported to the leach pad for application of the leaching solution. As the leach solution is collected from the leach pads, it is continuously sampled for assaying. The quantity of leach solution is measured by flow meters throughout the leaching and precipitation process. After precipitation, the product is converted to doré at the Rochester mine and a form of gold concentrate at the Wharf mine, representing the final product produced by each mine. The inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method.
The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within 12 months is classified as current and the historical cost of metals contained within the broken ore expected to be extracted beyond 12 months is classified as non-current. Ore on leach pads is valued based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pad, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process.
The estimate of both the ultimate recovery expected over time and the quantity of metal that may be extracted relative to the time the leach process occurs requires the use of estimates, which are inherently inaccurate due to the nature of the leaching process. The quantities of metal contained in the ore are based upon actual weights and assay analysis. The rate at which the leach process extracts gold and silver from the crushed ore is based upon laboratory testing and actual experience of more than 20 years of leach pad operations at the Rochester mine and 30 years of leach pad operations at the Wharf mine. The assumptions used by the Company to measure metal content during each stagecomplete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan. If all of the inventory conversion process includes estimated recovery rates based on laboratory testing and assaying. Theabove criteria are met, the Company periodically reviews its estimates compared to actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate. The ultimate recovery willclassifies the property as held for sale.
At September 30, 2022, the Sterling/Crown exploration properties met the held for sale criteria. However, considering that the Sterling/Crown exploration properties are not be known until leaching operations cease. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimatesoperating mines, the Company determined that the expected disposal of the Sterling/Crown exploration properties do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for onrepresent a prospective basis. In June 2021, the Company updated the

The applicable assets and liabilities of Coeur Sterling, Inc. for the current period presented are classified on the historical performance of the leach pad since the third quarter of 2019. This change resulted in an adjustment to the ending ore on leach pads balance with the resulting non-cash charges allocated between Costs Applicable to SalesConsolidated Balance Sheets as held for sale. See Note 20 -- Assets and Amortization in the amounts of $8.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively.Liabilities Held for Sale for additional detail.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) provided for a $22.0 million deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation, commencing in 2016, to purchase 50% of a portion of Palmarejo gold production at the lesser of $800 or market price per ounce. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The streaming agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. The remaining unamortized balance is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 17 -- Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

During the third quarter of 2021,2022, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $6.4$1.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (13.2)%3.4%. This compares to income tax expense of $13.1$6.4 million for an effective tax rate of 32.8%13.2% during the third quarter of 2020.2021. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) mining taxes; (iv) the sale of non-core assets; (v) foreign exchange rates; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) the non-recognition of tax assets; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. positions; (vii) percentage depletion; and (viii) the non-recognition of tax assets.Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company ultimately will be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 20202021 10-K.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations remains open from 20162018 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 20112016 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next twelve months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease between $0.5 million and $1.5by less than $0.1 million in the next twelve months.
At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had $0.3$0.0 million and $0.7$0.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that, if recognized, would positively impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $0.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), secondary priority to quoted prices in inactive markets or observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s investments in equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based primarily on quoted market prices. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contractscommon share purchase warrants received as consideration in the La Preciosa project sale are valued using the pricing modelsmodel with inputs derived from observable market data, including forwardquoted market prices and other unobservable inputs. quoted interest curve rates. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s gold zero cost collarsforward contracts are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads. The Company’s provisional metal sales contracts include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts that are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices.
As further discussed in Note 19 -- Dispositions, the consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project included two royalties, a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and a 2.00% gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, and contingent consideration of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (adjusted for inflation) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resources area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $50.0 million. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration assets were $11.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, valued as of the date of closing of the transaction and are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration were valued using Monte Carlo simulation models. The model inputs can generally be verifiedinclude significant unobservable inputs and do not involve significant management judgment. The significant unobservable inputs included assumptions related to metal prices which assumed silver prices ranging from $22 to $25 per ounce and gold prices ranging from $1,700 to $1,930 per ounce as well as volatility assumptions for silver and gold prices (33.5% and 19.0%, respectively), and an assumed weighted average cost of capital of 15.5%. Such instruments are classified within Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy.
As described in Note 6 - Investments, the Exchange Agreement provides that Orion may be entitled to additional Coeur shares in the event Coeur acquires Victoria in the future for a higher per share consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement. The Company determined that the potential for additional share consideration in the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the inception date of the Exchange Agreement and adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The fair value of the outstanding embedded derivative was determined using a pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including stock prices, stock price volatility and risk-free rates and other unobservable inputs such as Monte Carlo simulations and probabilities of Coeur being contractually obligated to make a payment. As the model inputs are estimated based on observable and unobservable data, the Company classifies this embedded derivative in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a change in these unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the exchange agreement embedded derivative was $0.
No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Provisional Metal Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.
Exchange Agreement Embedded Derivative
The Exchange Agreement provides that Orion may be entitled to additional Coeur shares in the event Coeur acquires Victoria in the future for a higher per share consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement. The Company determined that the potential for additional share consideration in the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the inception date of the Exchange Agreement and adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the exchange agreement embedded derivative was $0.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging StrategiesZero Cost Collars
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements. The contracts arewere net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration is between the put and call prices, would expire at no cost to the Company. If the price of gold at the time of expiration iswas lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company voluntarily de-designated hedge accounting for the zero cost collars and subsequently terminated the arrangements. The cost to terminate the zero cost collars was $7.7 million, of which $3.1 million was recognized in earnings and the remaining $4.6 million, which represents the fair value of the zero cost collars on the date of de-designation, was retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and will be recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur. As of September 30, 2022, there was $1.4 million remaining to be recognized in earnings over the next three months.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company enters into forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly and if the actual price of gold at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S dollar and are exposed to forecasted transaction denominated in the Mexican Peso and the Canadian Dollar, in March 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.

The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”)AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue are recognized as a component of Revenue in the same period as the related sale is recognized. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency transactions are recognized as a component of Costs Applicable to Sales or Pre-development, Reclamation and Other in the same period the related expenses are incurred.
At inception, the Company performed an assessment of the forecasted transactions and the hedging instruments and determined that the hedging relationships are considered perfectly effective. Future assessments are performed to verify that critical terms of the hedging instruments and the forecasted transactions continue to match, and the forecasted transactions remain probable, as well as an assessment of any adverse developments regarding the risk of the counterparties defaulting on their commitments. There have been no such changes in critical terms or adverse developments.
As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $4.9$47.1 million of net after-tax gain in AOCI related to lossesgains from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $4.6$41.8 million of net after-tax gains is expected to be recognized in its Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the price of gold for metal contracts and the Canadian and Mexican exchange rates for foreign currency contracts.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mexico Litigation Matters
As of September 30, 2021,2022, $26.0 million in principal amount is due from the Mexican government associated with VAT that was paid under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received VAT refunds associated with the royalty payments in the normal course; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying Coeur Mexicana’s VAT refunds based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana began to request refunds of the VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover the VAT from the Mexican government (including through litigation and potential arbitration as well as refiling VAT refund requests). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation has continued at the administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels, most of which has been determined unfavorably to Coeur (including as recently as the third quarter of 2021) based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are contrary to legal precedent, conflicting and erroneous. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the VAT receivable and intends to rigorously continue its VAT recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the VAT receivable and recent unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the VAT receivable at September 30, 2021. The write down of $26.0 million is presented in Other, net onIn September 2022, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).Company and Coeur Mexicana may still elect to initiate anfiled a request for arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.NAFTA, in connection with this dispute. Outcomes in NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable.
In addition, ongoing litigation with the Mexican government associated with enforcement of water rights in Mexico, if unsuccessful, may impact Coeur Mexicana’s ability to access new sources of water to provide sufficient supply for its operations at Palmarejo and, if material, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial results.
Palmarejo Gold Stream
Coeur Mexicana sells 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from certain properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $800

or spot price per ounce. In 2016, Coeur Mexicana received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although Coeur Mexicana has satisfied its contractual obligation to repay the deposit to Franco-Nevada, the deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized as revenue on a units-of-production basis as ounces are sold to Franco-Nevada. At September 30, 20212022 the remaining unamortized balance was $8.5$7.6 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Kensington Prepayment
In June 2019, Coeur entered into a transaction with an existing metal sales counterparty whereby it amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments, the latest occurringincluding in July 2021, with an effective date as of June 28, 2021, to includeprovide options for Coeur to receive up to two additional prepayments of up to $15.0 million. In December 2020, Coeurmillion each. The Company exercised an option to receive thethese options and received $15.0 million December 2020 Prepayment. In the first half of 2021, the Kensington mine delivered $15.0 millionboth in satisfaction of the December 2020 Prepayment. In June 2021 Coeur exercised an option to receive the $15.0 million(the "June 2021 Prepayment") and in December 2021 (the "December 2021 Prepayment").

POA 11 Expansion Project
Coeur achieved several key milestones at the Rochester expansion during the quarter, notably, (i) completion of major concrete work in all areas except the primary crusher pocket and the pre-screens, both of which are in progress, (ii) continuation of structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation construction work throughout the project, (iii) commencement of final major high-voltage electrical distribution and substation construction, and (iv) completion of the majority of commitments for the pre-screens.
Progress of the Merrill-Crowe plant continued on schedule during the third quarter, including (i) continuation of mechanical equipment setting, (ii) completion of building and process plant steel pipe rack erection, (iii) continuation of piping and cable tray installation, and (iv) rough setting of electrical switchgear.
Further work on the crusher corridor has also advanced, including (i) civil work on the primary crusher area with a focus on the primary crusher foundation and commencement of conveyor component installation, (ii) setting of the secondary cone crushers and commencement of piping, cable tray and lighting installation in the secondary crusher area, and (iii) setting of the tertiary HPGR crushers and cable tray and lighting installation in the tertiary crusher area.
During the quarter, Coeur successfully aligned the construction of the pre-screens with the completion of the new crusher to maintain a mid-2023 mechanical completion target. Ramp-up and commissioning is anticipated to take place during the second half of next year.
Coeur also completed a review of the total capital costs necessary to complete the expansion, resulting in a 9 - 12% increase in the capital estimate to $650 - $670 million. The estimate reflects the finalization of cost estimates for pre-screens, higher prices and quantities of steel and concrete, and additional contingency.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had committed approximately $575 million of capital since the inception of the project and approximately $443 million of the estimated project cost had been incurred.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had surety bonds totaling $314.5$326.7 million and $311.9$315.1 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash or letters of credit which reduce availability under its revolving credit facility, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument

cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Gold and silver production increased 15% and 11%, respectively, due to the timing of recoveries associated with the restocking of leach pad inventory after the commissioning of the high-pressure grinding roll in 2019, which adversely impacted 2020 gold and silver production. Metal sales were $99.2 million, or 16% of Coeur’s metal sales, compared with $72.2 million, or 13% of Coeur’s metal sales. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $27.0 million or 37%, of which $14.4 million was the result of higher average realized gold and silver prices and $12.6 million was the result of a higher volume of gold and silver sales. Costs applicable to sales per gold and silver ounce increased 31% and 64%, respectively, due to the mix of gold and silver sales, and higher maintenance and consumable costs. Additionally, there was a LCM adjustment of $5.3 million and a non-cash inventory charge of $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad. Amortization increased to $14.8 million due to higher ounces sold and higher equipment depreciation from recently placed-in service assets. Capital expenditures increased to $112.5 million from $20.6 million due to the commencement of construction activities related to POA 11 in August 2020.
Overall progress under the current scope, POA 11 was approximately 42% complete at the end of the third quarter. As part of ongoing efforts to optimize and de-risk the project, the Company has identified a potential opportunity to enhance future operating flexibility by incorporating pre-screens into the flowsheet for the newly constructed crushing circuit. While the Company completes detailed engineering related to this opportunity, Coeur intends to install pre-screens on the existing crusher system during the first half of 2022. If the Company determines that pre-screens are a value-accretive scope change to the project, Coeur currently estimates that commissioning and ramp-up of the new crushing circuit could be extended by three to six months.
Historic rain amounts were experienced at Rochester in late October 2021. The Company is currently assessing any impacts to operations and the POA 11 project.

Silvertip temporarily suspended mining and processing activities, unrelated to COVID-19, in February 2020. Operational results in the table above reflect performance prior to the temporary suspension. Ongoing carrying and temporary suspension costs are included in Pre-development, reclamation, and other.
The CompanyCoeur continues to generate positive results from ongoing exploration and confirmatory metallurgical test work. Given these drilling results, the enhanced understanding of the Silvertip deposit and the potentialadvance study work to significantly expand mineralized material with continued drilling, Coeur is now assessing the opportunity to significantly enhanceassess the economics of a potential future expansion and restartof its high-grade Silvertip silver-zinc-lead development project in British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s objective remains to complete an evaluation by re-evaluating the overall scope, includingyear-end of higher throughput staging options, delivery timelinescenarios to enhance the project’s economics and commercial approach to the project.

The November Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility under the consolidated net leverage ratio requirement through the December 31, 2023 test date, with the ratio returning to the original level as outlined in the RCF starting with the March 31, 2024 test date (the “Amendment Period”), (2) allows up to $50 million for integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities and certain costs associated with LCM adjustments at Rochester to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF, (3) increases the interest rate on certain borrowings through early 2023, (4) requires the Company to repay outstanding amounts under the RCF if cash-on-hand exceeds $60 million during the Amendment Period, and (5) restricts certain payments and the potential expansion project at Silvertip coupled with higher general and administrative and exploration costs, andincurrence of certain liens during the tender and redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes for $238.3 million, including premiums. This was partially offset by a 1% and 33% increase in average realized gold and silver prices, respectively, higher gold and silver ounces sold (1% and 9%, respectively), $20.0 million drawn from the RCF, and the net proceeds of $367.5 million from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating activities (voluntary or involuntary). To provide additional flexibility to respond to potential downside scenarios, the Company has been able to periodically draw and make repayments under its RCF subsequent to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.Amendment Period.

On September 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Crown Sterling Agreement”) with AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and its affiliate for the sale of 100% of the RCFissued and outstanding shares of Coeur Sterling, Inc. a subsidiary of Coeur that operates the Sterling/Crown exploration properties near Beatty, Nevada, in exchange for: (A) a cash payment of $150,000,000 at the closing of the transaction, subject to a customary purchase price adjustment and (B) the right to an aggregate amountadditional payment of $50,000,000 should Buyer, its affiliates or its successors report gold resources in the Sterling/Crown exploration properties (including any in-situ ounces mined after the closing of the Transaction) equal to or greater than 3,500,000 gold ounces, subject to certain additional terms and conditions detailed in the stock purchase agreement. The transaction was consummated on November 4, 2022.
The Company had outstanding forward contracts on 167,000 ounces of gold at September 30, 2022 that settle monthly through December 2023. The Company is targeting to hedge up to $100.0 million70% of expected gold production in 2022, 50% of expected gold production for the first half of 2023 and extend25% of expected gold production for the maturitysecond half of 2023 in order to March 2025. Additionally, Coeur establishedprotect cash flow during a $100.0 million ATM Programperiod of elevated capital expenditures, and may in April 2020the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average fixed price on the forward contracts is $1,986 per ounce of gold.
We currently believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next twelve months and longer-term. We expect to use a meanscombination of cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our RCF and additional finance leases to proactively increase its financial flexibilityfund near term capital requirements, including those described in responsethis Report for POA 11 and in our 2022 capital expenditure guidance. We also have additional potential sources of funding including proceeds from potential asset sales, and the monetization of our equity investments, including our remaining common shares of Victoria Gold. Our longer-term plans contemplate the expansion and restart of Silvertip, as well as the continued exploration and potential development of our other projects, such as the Lincoln Hill area adjacent to increased volatility and uncertainty associated with COVID-19.

Approximately $443 million of the estimated project cost had been incurred.
We also have additional obligations as part of our ordinary course of business, beyond those committed for capital expenditures and other purchase obligations and commitments for purchases of goods and services.
If and to the extent liquidity resources are insufficient to support short- and long-term expenditures, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities, among other financing options, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company, as discussed in more detail under Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2021 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this report.

Please seeSee Note 2 --- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 20202021 10-K and in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in this Report for the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.
Other Liquidity Matters
We believe that our liquidity and capital resources in the U.S. are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities. The Company has asserted indefinite reinvestment of earnings from its Mexican operations as determined by
management’s judgment about and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. The Company does not believe that the amounts reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.
In order to reduce indebtedness, fund future cash interest payments and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption and for general working capital purposes, from time-to-time we may (1) issue equity securities for cash in public or private offerings or (2) repurchase certain of our debt securities for cash or in exchange for other securities, which may include secured or unsecured notes or equity, in each case in open market or privately negotiated transactions. We evaluate any such transactions in light of prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The
amounts involved may be significant and any debt repurchase transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities’ face amount.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and to plan and forecast its operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and is based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. The tax effect of adjustments are based on statutory tax rates and the Company’s tax attributes, including the impact through the Company’s valuation allowance. The combined effective rate of tax adjustments may not be consistent with the statutory tax rates or the Company’s effective tax rate due to jurisdictional tax attributes and related valuation allowance impacts which may minimize the tax effect of certain adjustments and may not apply to gains and losses equally. Adjusted net income (loss) is reconciled to Net income (loss) in the following table:

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

Adjusted EBITDA to include the cumulative impact of the LCM adjustments, if applicable, for the year over year presentation. Previously, the year over year Adjusted EBITDA measure only included the current quarter LCM adjustment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the modification increased the Adjusted EBITDA measure by $16.8 million but had no impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This modification to the Adjusted EBITDA measure was made to be consistent with the treatment of LCM adjustments in the Company’s amended RCF facility, which was completed on November 9, 2022.
Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities less Capital expenditures as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow.

Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital
Management uses Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is Cash Provided By (used in) Operating Activities excluding the change in Receivables, Prepaid expenses and other, Inventories and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Operating Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations and engages in risk management strategies to mitigate these risks. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements”. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements and risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company, please refer to Item 2 of this Report - Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.
Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices
Gold, silver, zinc and lead prices may fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as U.S. dollar strength or weakness, demand, investor sentiment, inflation or deflation, and global mine production. The Company’s profitability and cash flow may be significantly impacted by changes in the market price of gold, silver, zinc and lead.
Decreases in the market price of gold, silver, zinc and lead can also significantly affect the value of our metal inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact our carrying value of long-lived assets.
Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and metal inventory adjustments at September 30, 2022 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,729 and $1,700 per ounce, respectively, and a short-term and long-term silver price of $19.23 and $22.00 per ounce, respectively.
Gold, Silver, ZincThe net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and Lead assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Hedging
To mitigate the risks associated with gold, silver, zinc and leadmetal price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production. The Company had outstanding Asian put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collarforward contracts on 171,675167,000 ounces of gold at September 30, 20212022 that settle monthly through December 2022.2023. The Company is targeting to hedge up to 70% of expected gold production through 2022, 50% of expected gold production through 2021for the first half of 2023 and 202225% of expected gold production for the second half of 2023 in order to protect cash flow during a period of elevated capital expenditures, and may in the future layer on additional hedges as circumstances warrant. The weighted average strike pricesfixed price on the put and callforward contracts are $1,623 and $2,002is $1,986 per ounce of gold, respectively.gold. The contracts are generally net cash settled and, if the spot price of gold at the time of the expiration is betweenlower than the put and callfixed price or higher than the fixed prices, it would expire at no cost to the Company. These Asian put and call optionresult in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The forward contracts expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price exceedsis below the spot price of a commodity, and (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production covered under contract positions; and (iii) liquidity risk to the extent counterparties exercise rights to cash collateral for out-of-money hedges under applicable instruments.positions. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 20202021 10-K and part II, Item 1A of this report.
At September 30, 2021,2022, the fair value of the put and call zero cost collarsgold forward contracts was an asset of $1.6$47.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 the Company recognized a lossgain of $0.9$14.4 million related to expired optionscontracts in Revenue and the remaining outstanding optionsforwards contracts were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A 10% increase and decrease in the price of gold at September 30, 20212022 would result in a net realized loss of $2.5 million and 10% decrease would result in a realizedand gain of $9.3nil and $80.4 million, respectively.. The closing price of gold was $1,672 per ounce. As of September 30, 2021,November 8, 2022, the closing price of gold was $1,743 per ounce. As of October 25, 2021, the closing price of gold was $1,805$1,679 per ounce.
Provisional Gold, Silver, Zinc and LeadMetal Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. Depending on the difference between the price at the time of sale and the final settlement price, embedded derivatives are recorded as either a derivative asset or liability. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, are marked to the market gold silver, zinc and leadsilver price at the end of each period from the provisional sale date to the date of final settlement. The mark-to-market gains and losses are recorded in earnings. At September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 15,96618,789 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,786.$1,744. Changes in gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market lossgain of $0.6$0.75 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022. A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $2.9$3.3 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand, which exposes it to foreign currency exchange rate risks. Foreign currency exchange rates are influenced by world market factors beyond the Company’s control such as supply and demand for U.S. and foreign currencies and related monetary and fiscal policies. Fluctuations in local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar may significantly impact profitability and cash flow.
Foreign Exchange Hedging
To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts. At September 30, 2021,In 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage this risk and designated these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign denominated transactions. The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to receive $0.4 billion Mexican Pesos at September 30, 2021 with an average exchange rate of 25.43 that settle monthly through December 2021. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts was a net asset of $3.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company has recognized a gain of $10.5 million related to expired options in Cost Applicable to Sales and Pre-development, Reclamation and Other, respectively, and an unrealized gain of $3.3 million related to outstanding options in AOCI. A 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rates at September 30, 2021 would result in a realized gain of $1.8 million or $4.2 million, respectively.2022.
Interest Rates
Interest Rate Hedging
We may use financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on loans, which exposes us to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.
When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps at September 30, 2021.2022.
Investment Risk
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $3.7$44.5 million in Fair value adjustments, net due to decreases in the stock price of those equity securities. At September 30, 2021,2022, the fair value of the equity securities was $139.7$45.5 million. A 10% change in realized equity prices would result in an unrealized gain or loss of $14.0$4.6 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
