Coeur Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Record results driven by the first full quarter with New Afton and Rainy River; cash more than doubles since year-end to $1.1 billion; initiated enhanced capital return program; 2026 guidance updated to reflect lower prices and adjustments to New Afton and Rainy River

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE, TSX: CDE) today reported record second quarter 2026 financial results, including record revenue of $1.1 billion and cash flow from operating activities of $513 million. The Company reported quarterly GAAP net income of $122 million, or $0.12 per share. On an adjusted basis¹, Coeur reported record quarterly adjusted EBITDA¹ of $478 million, record cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital of $513 million and net income of $123 million, or $0.12 per share. Financial results in the quarter, including adjusted EBITDA¹ and net income, were affected by a non-cash impact of $140 million, or $(0.10) per share, due to purchase price allocation accounting for Rainy River’s stockpile inventory.

Key Highlights

• Record financial results despite lower realized prices – Record revenue of $1.1 billion increased 27% quarter over quarter and 126% year over year, record adjusted EBITDA¹ of $478 million was slightly higher quarter over quarter and increased 124% year over year, and free cash flow¹ of $388 million increased 45% quarter over quarter and 165% year over year. Average realized gold and silver prices declined 6% and 14% quarter over quarter, respectively, to $4,140 per gold ounce and $71.18 per silver ounce. Average realized prices in June were the lowest of the year at $3,823 per gold ounce and $62.84 per silver ounce. Silver contributed 30% of the Company’s revenue in the quarter
• Solid production balanced across portfolio, including record gold output – Quarterly gold production reached a record 163,490 ounces, representing a 51% increase year over year and 69% increase quarter over quarter, reflecting the first full quarter of contributions from the recently-acquired New Afton and Rainy River operations and a near doubling of Wharf’s gold production from the prior quarter. Quarterly silver production of 4.4 million ounces was flat quarter over quarter and down 7% year over year, partially driven by lower silver grades at Rochester and Palmarejo and offset by record crusher performance at Rochester
• Growing liquidity and robust capital returns – Coeur’s $1.1 billion quarter-end cash balance was nearly ten times higher than the prior-year quarter-end and double the year-end 2025 cash balance. Since the commencement of the enhanced capital return program in mid-May, Coeur has repurchased $121 million of common stock, or 6.7 million shares, through July 31, and issued payment of an inaugural $0.02 per share semi-annual dividend in June. The Company also eliminated $39 million of capital leases in the quarter
• Record expected full-year production and financial results; adjustments to partial-year guidance ranges at new Canadian operations – Based on the mid-point of refined 2026 guidance ranges and updated metals price assumptions, the Company now expects to produce approximately 690,000 ounces of gold, 20 million ounces of silver, and 45 million pounds of copper and generate record full-year adjusted EBITDA¹ of $2.3 billion and free cash flow¹ of $1.5 billion. Coeur’s five legacy operations remain on track to achieve their prior stated full-year guidance while partial-year guidance updates at the two new Canadian operations reflect slightly slower than previously assumed ramp-up rates at New Afton’s C-Zone and Rainy River’s underground operations in 2026

“Record second quarter results reflected the growing momentum from the platform of North American precious metals assets we’ve built through a combination of disciplined investments in organic growth and two well-timed acquisitions,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Results were largely driven by the first full quarter of contribution from the newly acquired, lower-cost New Afton and Rainy River operations along with steady performance from our five other North American assets despite lower grades at three of our legacy operations. Most notably, Rochester achieved a 15% quarter-over-quarter increase in tonnes crushed to a quarterly record of 6.8 million tonnes, and Wharf nearly doubled its production. The second quarter also marked the launch of our enhanced capital return policy with $121 million of share repurchases made through the end of July and an inaugural dividend paid in June, all while significantly bolstering our cash levels to over $1.0 billion at quarter-end.

“Integration efforts since our acquisition of New Gold closed in late March have continued to progress according to plan. After operating Rainy River and New Afton for a full quarter, we are refining our partial-year 2026 guidance ranges at both new Canadian operations to reflect more achievable ramp-up timetables for underground mining activities at Rainy River and the development of the new C-Zone at New Afton this year. Full-year production and cost guidance ranges remain unchanged at all five of our legacy operations.

“As we look to the second half of our back-weighted year, we expect sharp increases in our production levels and free cash flow to drive record full-year 2026 results despite lower assumed metals prices relative to the first half of the year. Compared to 2025, we anticipate delivering strong double-digit gold and silver production increases and generating approximately $2.3 billion of adjusted EBITDA¹ (compared to $1.0 billion in 2025) and $1.5 billion of free cash flow¹ (compared to $666 million in 2025) with a year-end cash balance approaching $2.0 billion.”

Financial and Operating Highlights (Unaudited)

Financial Results

Second quarter 2026 revenue totaled $1.1 billion compared to $856 million in the prior period and $481 million in the second quarter of 2025. The Company produced 163,490 ounces of gold, 4.4 million ounces of silver and 11.4 million pounds of copper during the quarter. Metal sales for the quarter totaled 167,877 ounces of gold, 4.5 million ounces of silver and 11.3 million pounds of copper. Average realized gold, silver and copper prices for the quarter were $4,140 per ounce of gold, $71.18 per ounce of silver and $6.11 per pound of copper compared to $4,383 per ounce of gold, $82.85 per ounce of silver and $5.55 per pound of copper in the prior period and $3,021 and $33.72 per ounce of gold and silver in the second quarter of 2025.

Gold, silver and copper sales represented 64%, 30% and 6% of quarterly revenue, respectively. The Company’s U.S. and Canadian operations accounted for approximately 68% of second quarter revenue.

Adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce¹ of gold and silver were $2,442 and $22.99, respectively, compared to $2,032 and $20.01 in the prior period. Adjusted CAS¹ per gold ounce includes the non-cash impact of the $140 million related to purchase price allocation ascribed to inventory, which added $834 per ounce to the gold CAS¹. General and administrative expenses increased 5% quarter-over-quarter to $23 million, due primarily to the inclusion of personnel costs associated with the acquired New Gold operations.

Coeur invested approximately $44 million ($34 million expensed and $10 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter compared to approximately $32 million ($26 million expensed and $6 million capitalized) in the prior period. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $93 million during the second quarter. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $106 million, primarily reflecting income and mining tax payments in Mexico and the United States.

Quarterly operating cash flow increased to $513 million from $341 million in the prior period, primarily due to a full quarter of contributions from New Afton and Rainy River, partially offset by lower realized metal prices. Changes in working capital remained flat quarter over quarter.

Second quarter capital expenditures were $126 million compared to $74 million in the prior period. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately $105 million and $21 million, or 83% and 17%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital investment during the quarter and included approximately $26 million of capitalized stripping costs at Rainy River.
