Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
|
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 reported for the year ending
December 31, 2014
. The condensed consolidated
December 31, 2013
balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2013
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013
.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
" The updated guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. These changes become effective prospectively for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Rochester, and Kensington mines, La Preciosa, and Coeur Capital. All operating segments are engaged in the discovery and mining of gold and silver and generate the majority of their revenues from the sale of these precious metals with the exception of Coeur Capital, which holds the Endeavor silver stream and other precious metals royalties. Other includes the Joaquin project, Martha mine, corporate headquarters, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.
Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, mineral prices, mineral processing recovery rates, production levels, capital costs and reclamation costs. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates.
Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations (included in
Reclamation
) are as follows:

The income tax provision for the
three
and
nine months ended
September 30, 2014
differs
from the statutory rate primarily due to (i) a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets relating to losses incurred in the United States and certain foreign locations, (ii) the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on deferred tax account balances, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and foreign earnings not considered as permanently reinvested with respect to certain foreign locations, and (iii) differences in foreign tax rates in the Company's foreign locations. In conjunction with these items, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income and loss result in significant fluctuations in its consolidated effective tax rate.
The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2019 through 2033. Net operating losses in foreign countries have an indefinite carryforward period, except in Mexico where net operating loss carryforwards are limited to ten years.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
,
1,387,957
and
814,235
shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
,
2,008,749
and
998,830
shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive.
The
3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the Notes.

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 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
|
|
Level 2
|
Quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
|
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The fair value at
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
of the
3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes and
7.875%
Senior Notes outstanding were estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of debt was transferred to Level 2 from Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2014 due to observability of quoted market prices.
The fair value of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation is estimated based on observable market data including contractual terms, forward silver and gold prices, yield curves, and credit spreads. The Company’s current mine plan is a significant input used in the estimated fair value of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation and is considered company specific and unobservable. Therefore, the Company has classified the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation as a Level 3 financial liability. Based on the current mine plan, an expected royalty duration of
1.7
years was used to estimate the fair value of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation as of
September 30, 2014
.
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty
On January 21, 2009, the Company's subsidiary, Coeur Mexicana S.A. de C.V. ("Coeur Mexicana"), entered into a gold production royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers
50%
of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties. The royalty transaction includes a minimum obligation of
4,167
gold ounces per month and terminates when payments of
400,000
gold ounces have been made. At
September 30, 2014
, a total of
97,416
gold ounces remain outstanding under the original obligation.
The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative. The Company is required to recognize the change in fair value of the remaining minimum obligation due to changing gold prices. Unrealized gains are recognized in periods when the gold price has decreased from the previous period and unrealized losses are recognized in periods when the gold price increases. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was
7.8%
and
5.7%
at
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
was a liability of
$30.3 million
and
$40.3 million
, respectively. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the mark-to-market adjustments were
gains
of
$8.7 million
and
losses
of
$15.3 million
, respectively. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the mark-to-market adjustments were
losses
of
$6.6 million
and
gains
of
$60.2 million
, respectively.
Payments on the royalty obligation decrease the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of the minimum of
4,167
ounces of gold or
50%
of the actual gold production per month multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above
$408
per ounce, subject to a
1%
annual inflation adjustment. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were
$5.0 million
and
$5.6 million
, respectively. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were
$16.6 million
and
$22.9 million
, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in
Fair value adjustments, net
.

September 30, 2014
, the Company had outstanding call and put option contracts, or collars, on
$15.0 million
with a weighted-average strike price of
12.65
MXN for the floor and
14.83
MXN for the ceiling. The fair value of these contracts was
nil
at
September 30, 2014
. At
December 31, 2013
, the Company had MXN foreign exchange forward contracts on
$12.0 million
in U.S. dollars. These contracts required the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXN at a weighted average exchange rate of
12.21
MXN to each U.S. dollar and the fair value of those contracts was
a liability
of
$0.9
million at
December 31, 2013
. In addition, at
December 31, 2013
, the Company had outstanding collars on
$45.0 million
with a weighted-average strike price of
12.60
MXN for the floor and
14.80
MXN for the ceiling. The fair value of these contracts was nil at
December 31, 2013
.
The Company recorded
$0.1 million
of mark-to-market losses for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and mark-to-market
gains
of

gains
of
$0.9 million
and
losses
of
$1.4 million
, respectively, on MXN forward contracts and collars. These mark-to-market adjustments are reflected in
Fair value adjustments, net.
The Company recorded
no
realized
gains
or losses and realized
losses
of
$0.1 million
in
Costs applicable to sales
during the
three
months ended

months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company recorded realized
losses
of
$0.9 million
and realized
gains
of
$0.7 million
in
Costs applicable to sales
.
Concentrate Sales Contracts
The Company's concentrate sales to third-party smelters, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and forward metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement. Changes in silver and gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market losses of
$0.7 million
and
$0.2 million
in the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
, respectively, compared to mark-to-market gains of
$0.7 million
and losses of
$2.0 million
in the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
, respectively. At
September 30, 2014
, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of
0.1 million
ounces of silver and
32,879
ounces of gold at prices of
$18.87
and
$1,253
, respectively.
Silver and Gold Options
At
September 30, 2014
, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on
2,500,000
ounces of silver and
49,000
ounces of gold. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are
$18.00
per ounce and
$16.00
per ounce, respectively. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the gold put spreads are
$1,200
and
$1,050
, respectively.
If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the high strike price but more than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period. If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period, and the Company would be required to pay the difference between the average market price and the low strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period.
The put spread contracts are generally net cash settled and expire during the remainder of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. At
September 30, 2014
, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net
asset
of
$3.6 million
.
At
December 31, 2013
, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to net settle
25,000
ounces of gold and
1,250,000
ounces of silver at weighted average prices of
$1,150
per ounce and
$17.00
per ounce, respectively, if the market price of gold or silver were to average less than the strike price during the contract period. At
December 31, 2013
, the fair market value of these contracts was a net
asset
of
$0.1 million
.
During the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company recorded unrealized
gains
of
$3.1 million
and unrealized
losses
of
$3.1 million
, respectively, related to outstanding options which was included in
Fair value adjustments, net
. The Company also recognized realized
losses
of
$0.9 million
and
$0.4 million
resulting from expiring and terminated contracts during the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
During the
nine
months ended

Credit Risk
The credit risk exposure related to any derivative instrument is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with financial institutions management deems credit worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. In addition, to allow for situations where derivative positions may need to be revised, the Company transacts only in markets that management considers highly liquid.
On
July 2, 2014
, the Company acquired a pre-existing
3%
net smelter royalty on the La Preciosa silver-gold project for
$12.0 million
.
On

, the Company's subsidiary, Coeur Capital, Inc., entered into a net smelter royalty agreement with International Northair Mines, Ltd. ("Northair"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid
$2.2 million
cash on
May 27, 2014

1.25%
net smelter royalty and
$1.8 million
on
September 2, 2014
for an additional
1.25%
net smelter royalty payable on future production from Northair's La Cigarra silver project located in north central Mexico.

On August 1, 2012, Coeur Alaska, Inc. and Coeur Rochester, Inc. (the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended on January 16, 2014, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$100.0 million
, which principal amount may be increased, subject to receiving additional commitments therefor, by up to
$50.0 million
.
On March 20, 2014, the Borrowers notified the administrative agent that they were terminating the Revolving Credit Facility, effective March 25, 2014. The Company wrote off

$4.0
million bearing interest at
3.0%
per annum. There is
no
balance outstanding on the two lines of credit at
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation
On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering
50%
of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico.
The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of
400,000
ounces of gold, or
4,167
ounces per month over an initial eight year period. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of
4,167
ounces of gold or
50%
of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above
$408
per ounce, subject to a
1%
annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement are made in cash or gold bullion. During the three months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company paid
$11.4 million
and
$12.6 million
, respectively, and the Company paid
$38.4 million
and
$43.5 million
during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. At
September 30, 2014
, payments had been made on a total of
302,584
ounces of gold with further payments to be made on an additional
97,416
ounces of gold.
On
October 2, 2014
, Coeur Mexicana terminated the Palmarejo gold production royalty in exchange for a termination payment of
$2.0 million
, effective upon completion of the minimum ounce delivery requirement. Subsequently, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation whereby Coeur Mexicana will sell
50%
of Palmarejo gold production upon completion of the gold production royalty minimum ounce delivery requirement for the lesser of
$800
or spot price per ounce. Under the gold stream agreement, Coeur Mexicana will receive an aggregate
$22.0 million
deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement, payable in five quarterly payments beginning in the first quarter 2015.
The Company used an implicit interest rate of
30.5%
to discount the original royalty obligation, based on the fair value of the consideration received projected over the expected future cash flows at inception of the obligation. The discounted obligation is accreted to its expected future value over the expected minimum payment period based on the implicit interest rate. The Company recognized accretion expense for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
of
$2.5 million
and
$4.0 million
, respectively, and
$8.6 million
and
$12.2 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. At
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was
$38.1 million
and
$51.2 million
, respectively.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Labor Union Contracts
The Company maintains a labor agreement with Sindicato de Trabajadores Mineros de la Empresa Manquiri S.A. at the San Bartolomé mine in Bolivia. The San Bartolomé mine labor agreement, which became effective January 28, 2010, is currently active and does not have a fixed term. At
September 30, 2014
, approximately
10%
of the Company’s global labor force was covered by this collective bargaining agreement. The Company cannot predict whether this agreement will be renewed on similar terms or at all, whether future labor disruptions will occur or, if disruptions do occur, how long they will last.
Kensington Production Royalty
On July 7, 1995, the Company's subsidiary, Coeur Alaska, Inc., acquired the
50%
ownership interest of Echo Bay Exploration Inc., or Echo Bay, giving Coeur
100%
ownership of the Kensington property. Coeur Alaska is obligated to pay Echo Bay, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, a scaled net smelter return royalty on
1.0 million
ounces of future gold production after Coeur Alaska recoups the
$32.5 million
purchase price and its construction and development expenditures incurred after July 7, 1995 in connection with placing the property into commercial production. The royalty ranges from
1%
at gold prices of
$400
per ounce to a maximum of
2.5%
at gold prices above
$475
per ounce, with the royalty to be capped at
1.0 million
ounces of production. No royalty has been paid to date as the purchase price and construction and development costs have not been recouped.
Rochester Production Royalties
The Company acquired the Rochester property from ASARCO, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V., in 1983. The Company is obligated to pay a net smelter royalty interest to ASARCO when the market price of silver equals or exceeds
$23.60
per ounce up to a maximum rate of
5%
with the condition that Rochester achieves positive cash flow for the applicable year. If cash flow at Rochester is negative in any calendar year, the maximum royalty payable is
$250,000
. Royalty expense was
nil
due to silver prices below $23.60 per ounce for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
, and
nil
and
$1.0 million
for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Commencing January 1, 2014, Coeur Rochester is obligated to pay a
3.4%
net smelter returns royalty on up to
39.4 million
silver equivalent ounces produced and sold from a portion of the Rochester mine, payable on a quarterly basis. For each calendar quarter, the royalty will be payable on the actual sales prices received (exclusive of gains or losses associated with trading activities), less refining costs, of gold and silver produced and sold from the applicable portions of the Rochester mine. Changes in the Company's mine plan and silver and gold prices result in the recognition of mark-to-market gains or losses in
Fair value adjustments, net
.
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty
On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering
50%
of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of
400,000
ounces of gold, or
4,167
ounces per month over an initial
eight
-year period. Please see Note 10 -- Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion on the royalty obligation.
On
October 2, 2014
, Coeur Mexicana terminated the Palmarejo gold production royalty in exchange for a termination payment of
$2.0 million
, effective upon completion of the minimum ounce delivery requirement. Subsequently, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold stream agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation whereby Coeur Mexicana will sell
50%
of Palmarejo gold production upon completion of the gold production royalty minimum ounce delivery requirement for the lesser of
$800
or spot price per ounce. Under the gold stream agreement, Coeur Mexicana will receive an aggregate
$22.0 million
deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement, payable in five quarterly payments beginning in the first quarter 2015.
Sites Related to Callahan Mining Corporation
In 1991, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Callahan Mining Corporation. The Company has received requests for information or notices of potential liability from state or federal agencies with regard to Callahan's operations at sites in Maine, Colorado and Washington. The Company did not make any decisions with respect to generation, transport or disposal of hazardous waste at these sites. Therefore, the Company believes that it is not liable for any potential cleanup costs either directly as an operator or indirectly as a parent. To date, none of these agencies have made any claims against the Company or Callahan for cleanup costs at these sites. The Company anticipates that further agency interaction may be possible with respect to these sites.
Callahan operated a mine and mill in Brooksville, Maine from 1968 until 1972 and subsequently disposed of the property. In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, made a formal request to the Company for information regarding
29
Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
the site. The site was placed on the National Priorities List on September 5, 2002, and the Maine Department of Transportation, a partial owner of the property, signed a consent order in 2005. In January 2009, the EPA and the State of Maine made additional formal requests to the Company for information relating to the site, to which the Company responded. The first phase of cleanup at the site began in April 2011.
The Van Stone Mine in Stevens County, Washington consists of several parcels of land and was mined from 1926 until 1993 by multiple owners. Callahan sold its parcel in 1990. In February 2010, the State of Washington Department of Ecology notified Callahan that it, among others, is a potentially liable person (PLP) under Washington law. Asarco LLC ("Asarco"), an affiliate of American Smelting and Refining Company, which developed the mill on the site in 1951, settled for
$3.5 million
. Another potentially liable person, Vaagen Brothers, signed a consent order which allows access to the site for a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study. Neither the Company nor Callahan has received any further notices from the Washington Department of Ecology. On June 5, 2012, Asarco filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against
five
named defendants, including Callahan, seeking contribution for the
$3.5 million
settlement. Callahan filed a response and defense to the lawsuit on December 11, 2012 and does not believe it has any liability to Asarco. On January 23, 2013, the Court entered an Order dismissing one of the five named defendants from the lawsuit as a result of the parties reaching a settlement. The Court set a trial date for September 22, 2014; however, on June 3, 2014, the Court granted a joint motion to stay proceedings pending finalization of settlement arrangements between Asarco and Callahan.
Under lease and option agreements with several owners, Callahan was involved with the Akron Mine located in Gunnison County, Colorado from 1937-1960. The United States Forest Service (“USFS”) made formal requests for information to Callahan regarding the site in December 2003, February 2007, March 2013, and November 2013. Callahan timely responded to each request. In August 2014, Callahan received a notice of potential CERCLA liability from the USFS regarding environmental contamination at the Akron Mine. Callahan and the USFS are currently in discussions regarding this matter.
Bolivian Temporary Restriction on Mining above 4,400 Meters
On October 14, 2009, the Bolivian state-owned mining organization, COMIBOL, announced by resolution that it was temporarily suspending mining activities above the elevation of
4,400
meters above sea level while stability studies of Cerro Rico mountain are undertaken. The Company holds rights to mine above this elevation under valid contracts with COMIBOL as well as under authorized contracts with local mining cooperatives that hold their rights under contract themselves with COMIBOL. The Company temporarily adjusted its mine plan to confine mining activities to the ore deposits below
4,400
meters above sea level and timely notified COMIBOL of the need to lift the restriction. Mining in other areas above the
4,400
meter level continues to be suspended.
The suspension may reduce production until the Company is able to resume mining above
4,400
meters. It is uncertain at this time how long the suspension will remain in place. If COMIBOL decides to restrict access above the
4,400
meter level on a permanent basis, the Company may need to write down the carrying value of the asset. It is also uncertain if any new mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may affect mining in Bolivia.
Settlement of Unpatented Mining Claims Dispute at Rochester in Nevada
In the second quarter of 2013, Coeur Rochester settled all claims associated with a dispute involving ownership of unpatented mining claims surrounding the Coeur Rochester operation and, in connection therewith, agreed to make a one-time
$10.0 million
cash payment and granted the
3.4%
net smelter returns royalty described above under "Rochester Production Royalties." The above settlement resulted in a
$32.0 million
charge in the second quarter of 2013.

The following discussion provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Company", "our", or "we"). We use certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in our MD&A such as costs applicable to sales, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted net income. For a detailed description of each of these non-GAAP measures, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" at the end of this item. We believe it is important to read this item in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013
, as well as other information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are a large primary silver producer with significant gold production and mines located in the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia; development projects in Mexico and Argentina; and streaming and royalty interests in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, and Chile. The Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Kensington, and Rochester mines, each of which is operated by the Company, and Coeur Capital, primarily comprised of the Endeavor silver stream and other precious metal royalties, constitute our principal sources of revenues.
Our strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines and acquire precious metal streaming and royalty interests that together produce long-term cash flow, provide opportunities for growth through continued exploration, and generate superior and sustainable returns for stockholders. Management focuses on maximizing net cash flow through identifying and implementing revenue enhancement opportunities at existing operations, reducing operating and non-operating costs, consistent capital discipline, and efficient management of working capital.

Consolidated Performance
Net
income
was
$3.5 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
compared to
Net
loss
of
$46.3 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Net
income
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
is primarily due to favorable fair value adjustments and foreign currency revaluation of deferred taxes, lower amortization, and lower general and administrative expense, partly offset by lower average realized silver and gold prices and costs applicable to sales per ounce in 2013.
The Company produced
4.3 million
ounces of silver and
64,989
ounces of gold in the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
, compared to
4.2 million
ounces of silver and
63,040
ounces of gold in the
three months ended
September 30, 2013
. Silver production
increased
in the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher recoveries and tons placed at Rochester, partly offset by lower mill throughput and silver grade at Palmarejo. Gold production increased in the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher grade at Kensington and higher recoveries at Rochester, partly offset by lower throughput at Palmarejo.
Costs applicable to sales were
$14.71
per silver equivalent ounce and
$937
per gold ounce for the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
, compared to
$13.82
per silver equivalent ounce and
$894
per gold ounce for the
three months ended
September 30, 2013
. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce
increased
in the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher unit costs at Palmarejo primarily due to a $1.6 million inventory adjustment ($0.26 per ounce) to net realizable
31
value, partly offset by lower mining and milling costs at Rochester. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce
increased
in the
three months ended
September 30, 2014
primarily due to a $1.8 million inventory adjustment ($48 per gold ounce) to net realizable value at Kensington.
Net
loss
was
$76.8 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
compared to
Net
loss
of
$69.0 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
. The
higher
Net loss
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
is primarily due to unfavorable fair value adjustments and lower average realized silver and gold prices, partially offset by lower general and administrative expense and the Rochester claims settlement in 2013.
The Company produced
12.9 million
ounces of silver and
184,850
ounces of gold in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
, compared to
12.6 million
ounces of silver and
179,502
ounces of gold in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
. Silver production
increased
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher recoveries and tons placed at Rochester, partly offset by lower mill throughput and grade at Palmarejo. Gold production
increased
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher mill throughput at Kensington.
Costs applicable to sales were
$14.10
per silver equivalent ounce and
$977
per gold ounce in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
, compared to
$14.28
per silver equivalent ounce and
$996
per gold ounce in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce
decreased
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
due to lower unit costs at Rochester and San Bartolomé, partly offset by higher unit costs at Palmarejo. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce
decreased
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
due to higher production at Kensington.

Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales
decreased
by
$5.9
million, or
4.5%
, to
$125.9
million. The
decrease
in costs applicable to sales is primarily due to lower silver and gold ounces sold, partly offset by unfavorable inventory adjustments to net realizable value at Palmarejo and Kensington. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see
Results of Operations
below.
Amortization
Amortization
decreased
by
$18.1
million, or
30.1%
, primarily due to lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment as a result of the 2013 impairment charges at the Palmarejo and Kensington mines.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses
decreased
$7.7 million
, or
47.6%
, primarily due to lower consulting and professional fees and relocation costs incurred in 2013.
Exploration expense
increased
by
$3.3
million to
$6.6 million
, primarily as a result of higher exploration at Palmarejo and Kensington based on the Company's successful efforts to discover new silver and gold mineralization.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, including other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, reflected a
gain
of
$15.0 million
compared to a
loss
of
$21.5 million
, primarily due to the impact of changes in future metal prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty and the Rochester 3.4% net smelter royalty obligation.
Interest income and other, net increased by $1.5 million to an
expense
of
$0.2 million
, compared to
expense
of $1.7 million, primarily due to lower import taxes at Palmarejo.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of
$0.4 million
)
increased
to
$11.6 million
from
$9.7 million
primarily due to the March 2014 issuance of an additional $150 million of Senior Notes.
Income and Mining Taxes
The Company reported an income and mining tax
benefit
of approximately
$16.6
million compared to income and mining tax
benefit
of
$2.1
million. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:

In both periods, the Company recorded tax expense that differs from an amount calculated at the statutory rate primarily due to (i) a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets relating to losses incurred in the United States and certain foreign locations, (ii) the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on deferred tax account balances, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and foreign earnings not considered as permanently reinvested with respect to certain foreign locations, and (iii) differences in foreign tax rates of its foreign locations. In conjunction with these items, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income and loss result in significant fluctuations in its consolidated effective tax rate.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company changed its position regarding the accumulated earnings and basis difference with respect to its investment in its Coeur Mexicana mining operations, concluding they were permanently reinvested. The Company continues to maintain this position. In periods prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2013, it was the Company's position that such earnings were not permanently reinvested. Therefore, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, no provision has been made for income taxes attributable to the Company's investment in Coeur Mexicana. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the impact of a provision for tax benefit for this item of $6.1 million is reflected.

Months Ended
September 30, 2013
Revenue
Metal sales
decreased
by
$84.4 million
, or
14.6%
, to
$492.7 million
due to lower average realized silver and gold prices and lower silver and gold ounces sold. The Company sold
12.7 million
silver ounces and
189,869
gold ounces, compared to sales of
13.1 million
silver ounces and
190,832
gold ounces. The Company realized average silver and gold prices of
$19.76
per ounce and
$1,272
per ounce, respectively, compared with average realized prices of
$23.88
per ounce and
$1,383
per ounce, respectively. Silver contributed 51% of sales and gold contributed 49%, compared to 54% of sales from silver and 46% from gold. Royalty revenue increased
$2.4 million
due to the creation of Coeur Capital and its acquisition of Global Royalty Corp. in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales
decreased
by
$10.8 million
, or
3.0%
, to
$351.5 million
. The
decrease
in costs applicable to sales is primarily due to lower unit costs at San Bartolomé, Rochester, and Kensington, as well as lower silver and gold ounces sold. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see
Results of Operations
below.
Amortization
Amortization
decreased
by
$42.9 million
, or
25.7%
, primarily due to lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment as a result of the 2013 impairment charges at the Palmarejo and Kensington mines.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses
decreased
$9.7 million
, or
23.3%
, primarily due to lower consulting and professional fees and relocation costs incurred in 2013.
Exploration expense
decreased
by
$1.0 million
, or
5.7%
, to
$16.0 million
primarily as a result of reduced exploration activity near the Company’s Joaquin project in Argentina, partly offset by higher exploration at Kensington. A total of 368,000 feet of combined core and reverse circulation drilling was completed to discover new silver and gold mineralization.
The
$32.0 million
Litigation settlement
in 2013 relates to the settlement of the Rochester claims dispute. In connection with the settlement, Coeur Rochester acquired all mining claims in dispute in exchange for a one-time $10.0 million cash payment and granting a 3.4% net smelter returns royalty on up to 39.4 million silver equivalent ounces from the Rochester mine beginning January 1, 2014.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses
increased
68.3%
to
$20.0 million
, primarily due to La Preciosa feasibility study costs.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, including other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, reflected a
loss
of
$8.2 million
compared to a
gain
of
$45.8 million
, primarily due to the impact of changes in future metal prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty and the Rochester 3.4% net smelter royalty obligation.
Interest income and other, net
decreased
by
$4.8 million
to
expense
of
$2.3 million
, compared to
income
of
$2.5 million
, primarily due to the sale of various assets in
2013
.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of
$0.9 million
)
increased
to
$37.0 million
from
$30.3 million
primarily due to the March 2014 issuance of an additional $150 million 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 and write-off of the Revolving Credit Agreement costs.

Cash
Used in
Investing Activities
Net cash
used in
investing activities for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
was
$29.8 million
compared to
$35.4 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2013
, due to lower capital expenditures, partly offset by the purchase of net smelter royalties. The Company spent
$16.8 million
on capital expenditures in the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
compared to
$32.7 million
in the
three
months ended
September 30, 2013
. Capital expenditures in the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
were primarily related to underground development of Guadalupe at Palmarejo as well as Kensington and plant improvements at San Bartolomé, compared to the Stage III Rochester expansion and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in the three months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Net cash
used in
investing activities for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
was
$107.1 million
compared to
$186.5 million
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
, primarily due to lower capital expenditures and the acquisition of Orko Silver Corporation in 2013, partly offset by purchases of short-term investments and the purchase of net smelter royalties in 2014. The Company spent
$44.1 million
on capital expenditures in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
, compared with
$72.8 million
in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
. Capital expenditures in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington, plant improvements at San Bartolomé, and resource definition at Rochester, compared to the Stage III Rochester expansion and underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in the nine months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Cash
Used in
Financing Activities
Net cash
used in
financing activities for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
was
$24.7 million
compared to
$29.5 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2013
, primarily due to the effect of lower gold prices on Palmarejo gold production royalty payments and $15.0 million of common stock repurchases in 2013, partly offset by the repurchase of $12.6 million of Senior Notes.
Net cash
provided by
financing activities for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
was
$93.9 million
compared to
$169.4 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily the result of the follow-on offering of $150 million of Senior Notes, partly offset by the repurchase of
$12.6 million
of Senior Notes, in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
compared to the original offering of $300 million of Senior Notes in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
, partly offset by the repurchase of $43.3 million of Convertible Notes and $27.6 million of common stock repurchases in the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2013
.
Other Liquidity Matters
On March 20, 2014, Coeur Alaska, Inc. and Coeur Rochester, Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, notified the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement that they were terminating the Revolving Credit Facility, effective March 25, 2014. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at the time of termination, and no early termination penalty was payable in connection with the termination.
The Company asserts that its earnings from the Palmarejo operation are permanently reinvested. Therefore, no provision has been made for United States federal and state income taxes on the Company's tax basis differences in Mexico, which primarily relate to accumulated foreign earnings that have been reinvested and are expected to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. The Company does not believe that the amounts permanently reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.
The Company may elect to defer some capital investment activities or to secure additional capital to ensure it maintains sufficient liquidity. In addition, if the Company decides to pursue the acquisition of additional mineral interests, new capital
38
projects, or acquisitions of new properties, mines or companies, additional financing activities may be necessary. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available when or if needed upon acceptable terms, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments
Please see Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to the Company's business, including growth strategies, tax positions, and initiatives to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines and acquire precious metal streaming and royalty interests, generate returns, generate and maximize cash flow, manage metals price and foreign currency risk, reduce costs, enhance revenue, demonstrate capital discipline and manage working capital. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates” or similar words. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (i) the risk factors set forth below under Part II, Item 1A and in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2013 10-K and the risks and uncertainties discussed in this MD&A; (ii) the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), (iii) changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price environment, (iv) the uncertainties inherent in the Company’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground conditions and grade variability, (v) any future labor disputes or work stoppages, (vi) the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver ore reserves and future production, (vii) changes that could result from the Company’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, (viii) reliance on third parties to operate certain mines where the Company owns silver production and reserves, (ix) the absence of control over mining operations in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations (including results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks and changes in mine plans and project parameters); (x) the loss of any third-party smelter to which the Company markets silver and gold, (xi) the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, (xii) the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, and (xiii) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance any debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Management uses
Adjusted net income (loss)
to evaluate the Company's operating performance, and to plan and forecast its operations. The Company believes the use of
Adjusted net income (loss)
reflects the underlying operating performance of our core mining business and allows investors and analysts to compare results of the Company to similar results of other mining companies. Management's determination of the components of
Adjusted net income (loss)
are evaluated periodically and are based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.

Costs Applicable to Sales and All-in Sustaining Costs
Management uses
Costs applicable to sales
("CAS") and
All-in sustaining costs
(“AISC") to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and life of mine performance from discovery through reclamation. We believe these measures assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders in understanding the costs associated with producing silver and assessing our operating performance and ability to generate free cash flow from operations. These measures may not be indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Management believes converting the benefit from selling gold into silver equivalent ounces (silver to gold ratio of 60:1) best allows management, analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate CAS and AISC differently as a result of reflecting the benefit from selling non-silver metals as a by-product credit rather than converting to silver equivalent ounces, differences in the determination of sustaining capital expenditures, and differences in underlying accounting principles and accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, the Company may, at times, enter into derivative financial instruments. These may take the form of forward sales contracts, put and call options related to future silver and gold production, foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements” that contain risks and uncertainties. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.
The Company’s operating results are substantially dependent upon the world market prices of silver and gold. The Company has no control over silver and gold prices, which can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors, such as supply and demand and investor sentiment. In order to mitigate some of the risk associated with these fluctuations, the Company will at times enter into forward sales contracts or purchase put and call options. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company may be exposed to nonperformance risk by counterparties as a result of its hedging activities. This exposure would be limited to the amount that the spot price of the metal falls short of the contract price. The Company enters into contracts and other arrangements from time to time in an effort to reduce the negative effect of price changes on its cashflows. These arrangements typically consist of managing its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and market prices associated with changes in gold and silver commodity prices.
Concentrate Sales Contracts
The Company enters into concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional 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 from the sale of concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is the final settlement based on a future price, does not qualify for hedge accounting. These embedded derivatives are recorded as derivative assets in prepaid expenses and other or as derivative liabilities in accrued liabilities and other on the balance sheet and are adjusted to fair value through earnings each period until the date of final settlement.
At
September 30, 2014
, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of
0.1 million
ounces of silver and
32,879
ounces of gold at prices of
$18.87
and
$1,253
, respectively. For a 10% change in realized silver price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately
$0.2 million
and for a 10% change in realized gold price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately
$4.1 million
. At
December 31, 2013
, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales consisting of
0.2 million
ounces of silver and
30,780
ounces of gold at prices of
$20.98
and
$1,259
, respectively.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries, specifically Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and Ecuador, which exposes it to risks associated with fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies involved. As part of its program to manage foreign currency risk, the Company from time to time enters into foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. These contracts enable the Company to purchase a fixed amount of foreign currencies at a fixed exchange rate or to lock in a specific exchange rate. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts that are related to firm commitments and designated and effective as hedges are deferred and recognized in the same period as the related transaction. All other contracts that do not qualify as hedges are marked to market and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in income. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of entering into these contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk and proceeds when it believes that the exchange rates are most beneficial.
During the
nine months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as call and put option contracts, also referred to as collars, to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted Mexican peso (“MXN”) operating costs at its Palmarejo mine and development costs at La Preciosa.
At
September 30, 2014
, the Company had outstanding collars on
$15.0 million
with a weighted-average strike price of
12.65
MXN for the floor and
14.83
MXN for the ceiling. The Company had
an asset
related to these contracts with a fair value of
nil
at
September 30, 2014
. A 10% increase or decrease in the MXN rate at
September 30, 2014
would result in gains of
$0.1 million
or
$0.7 million
on settlement, respectively.
The Company recorded
$0.1 million
of mark-to-market losses and mark-to-market
gains
of
$0.1 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, on the MXN forward contracts and collars. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company recorded mark-to-market
gains
of
$0.9 million
and
losses
of
$1.4 million
, respectively, on MXN forward contracts and collars. These mark-to-market adjustments are reflected in
Fair value adjustments, net.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty
On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into the gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation. Pursuant to an October 2, 2014 agreement between the parties, the royalty transaction terminates when payments have been made on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold. As of
September 30, 2014
, a total of
97,416
ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation. The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument under U.S. GAAP.
The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was
7.8%
and
5.7%
at
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
was a liability of
$30.3 million
and
$40.3 million
, respectively. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the mark-to-market adjustments were
gains
of
$8.7 million
and
losses
of
$15.3 million
, respectively. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the mark-to-market adjustments were
losses
of
$6.6 million
and
gains
of
$60.2 million
, respectively. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were
$5.0 million
and
$5.6 million
, respectively. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were
$16.6 million
and
$22.9 million
, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in Fair value adjustments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company used an implicit interest rate of
30.5%
to discount the original obligation, based on the fair value of the consideration received projected over the expected future cash flows at inception of the obligation. The discounted obligation is accreted to its expected future value over the expected minimum payment period based on the implicit interest rate. The Company recognized accretion expense for the
three
and
nine months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
of $
2.5 million
,
$4.0 million
,
$8.6 million
and
$12.2 million
, respectively. At
September 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was
$38.1 million
and
$51.2 million
, respectively.
A 10% change in the price of gold would result in a change in the fair value of the net derivative liability at
September 30, 2014
to vary by approximately
$10.5 million
.
Gold and Silver Put Options
At
September 30, 2014
, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on
2,500,000
ounces of silver and
49,000
ounces of gold. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are
$18.00
per ounce and
$16.00
per ounce, respectively. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the gold put spreads are
$1,200
and
$1,050
, respectively.
If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the high strike price but more than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period. If the market price of silver and gold were to average less than the low strike price during the contract period, the Company would receive the difference between the average market price and the high strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period, and the Company would be required to pay the difference between the average market price and the low strike price for the contracted volume over the contract period.
The put spread contracts are generally net cash settled and expire during the remainder of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. At
September 30, 2014
, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net
asset
of
$3.6 million
. A 10% increase or decrease in the price of silver and gold at
September 30, 2014
would result in a loss of
$3.6 million
or a gain of
$10.2 million
on settlement, respectively.
At
December 31, 2013
, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to net settle
25,000
ounces of gold and
1,250,000
ounces of silver at weighted average prices of
$1,150
per ounce and
$17.00
per ounce, respectively, if the market price of gold or silver were to average less than the strike price during the contract period. At
December 31, 2013
, the fair market value of these contracts was a net
asset
of
$0.1 million
. During the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company recorded unrealized
gains
of
$3.1 million
and unrealized
losses
of
$3.1 million
, respectively, related to outstanding options which was included in
Fair value adjustments, net
. The Company also recognized realized
losses
of
$0.9 million
and
$0.4 million
resulting from expiring contracts during the
three
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
During the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
2013
, the Company recorded unrealized
gains
of
$0.2 million
and unrealized
gains
of
$7.5 million
, respectively, related to outstanding options which was included in
Fair value adjustments, net
. The Company also recognized realized
losses
of
$1.3 million
and
$1.4 million
resulting from expiring contracts during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
and
