Coeur Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results
Reduces Full-Year Companywide Cost Guidance
Chicago, Illinois - October 26, 2016 - Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company” or “Coeur”) (NYSE: CDE) reported third quarter 2016 revenue of $176.2 million, net income of $69.6 million, or $0.42 per share, and adjusted net income1 of $38.6 million, or $0.23 per share.
Cash flow from operating activities was $47.8 million, a 4% quarter-over-quarter increase. Free cash flow1 totaled $14.6 million in the third quarter, 20% higher than the second quarter.
The Company raised its 2016 full-year production guidance on October 6 and is now reducing its full-year cost guidance at three of its five operations as outlined in the Full-Year 2016 Outlook section of this release.

Highlights
Silver and gold production were 3.5 million ounces and 84,871 ounces, respectively, or 8.6 million silver equivalent ounces1, representing a 10% decrease over the second quarter
Silver and gold sales were 3.4 million ounces and 83,389 ounces, respectively, or 8.4 million silver equivalent ounces1, representing a 10% decrease over the second quarter
Average realized prices per ounce of silver and gold were $19.61 and $1,317, respectively, representing increases of 13% and 5%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter
For Coeur's primary silver operations, CAS and adjusted CAS were $11.96 and $11.69, respectively, per realized AgEqOz1. Using a 60:1 equivalence ratio, CAS and adjusted CAS were $12.38 and $12.10 per AgEqOz1 
For Coeur's primary gold operations, CAS and adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 were $767 and $712, respectively
Companywide AISC and adjusted AISC were $15.89 and $15.37 per realized AgEqOz1, respectively. Using a 60:1 equivalence ratio, companywide AISC and adjusted AISC were $17.02 and $16.46 per AgEqOz1, respectively
Net income and adjusted net income1 were $69.6 million and $38.6 million, or $0.42 and $0.23 per share, respectively. Net income increased nearly four times compared to the second quarter and adjusted net income more than doubled quarter-over-quarter
EBITDA1 and adjusted EBITDA1 were $50.9 million and $62.7 million, respectively, with both nearly doubling compared to the same quarter last year. LTM adjusted EBITDA1 rose 18% quarter-over-quarter to $201.7 million
Cash and equivalents were $222.5 million at September 30, 2016
Total debt declined $109.3 million, or 21%, during the quarter. Together with rising adjusted EBITDA1, the Company's total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA1 declined to 2.0x, which is 64% lower than it was a year ago (net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA1 is now 0.9x)
Interest expense declined 26% quarter-over-quarter and 35% year-over-year
The minimum ounce obligation on the old Franco-Nevada royalty was satisfied in July, triggering a shift to a new gold stream with more favorable terms that are expected to result in a significant increase in free cash flow1 at Palmarejo (previously announced June 23, 2014)

Announced a $200 million "at-the-market" (ATM) stock offering on September 9, 2016. As of October 25, the Company sold 7.6 million shares under the offering, generating net proceeds of approximately $90 million. The Company intends to use these proceeds to further reduce remaining debt levels
"We achieved a number of significant milestones during the third quarter despite lower production relative to the second quarter. Our quarterly earnings more than doubled, free cash flow increased 20% quarter-over-quarter and LTM adjusted EBITDA has now risen above $200 million - up from $96 million just 15 months ago. Importantly, we are well-positioned for a strong fourth quarter at each of our five operations," said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We made great progress repositioning our balance sheet to be conservative, flexible and supportive of the Company's future growth initiatives. Our total debt declined by 21% since the end of June, interest expense dropped by 26%, and our total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA ratio has now dropped to 2.0x - down 65% from 5.7x just fifteen months ago. With cash and equivalents of over $220 million and rising due to our positive free cash flow and the expected completion of our ongoing ATM stock offering, we anticipate further balance sheet strengthening to take place during the remainder of this year.
"We increased our full-year 2016 production guidance earlier this month and are now reducing our full-year 2016 cost guidance, which reflects the significant operational improvements we have made over the last several years. As we focus on longer-term growth in production and cash flow, we are excited about the high-grade exploration results we are generating from several of our existing operations and our revitalized earlier-stage exploration initiatives. In addition, we look forward to conducting confirmation drilling in early 2017 with the goal of assessing a lower capex, higher grade, lower tonnage development and operating plan for our La Preciosa project in Mexico."

Financial Results
Third quarter revenue decreased 3% quarter-over-quarter and increased 8% year-over-year to $176.2 million. Average realized silver and gold prices during the quarter were $19.61 and $1,317, respectively. Silver contributed 38% of metal sales and gold contributed 62% during the third quarter. Costs applicable to sales increased 5% quarter-over-quarter and decreased 12% year-over-year to $105.4 million.
Third quarter general and administrative expenses were $7.1 million, a 4% quarter-over-quarter decrease and a 6% year-over-year increase. For the first nine months of 2016, general and administrative expenses were $22.8 million, a decline of 5% from the same period in 2015. Third quarter capital expenditures of $25.6 million were 10% higher quarter-over-quarter and 7% higher year-over-year, driven by development of the high-grade Jualin deposit at Kensington and the Guadalupe and Independencia deposits at Palmarejo. Capital expenditures totaled $71.1 million for the first nine months of 2016, a 9% increase compared with the same period in 2015.

Net income was $69.6 million, or $0.42 per share, during the third quarter, compared to net income of $14.5 million, or $0.09 per share, in the second quarter, and a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.11 per share, in the third quarter 2015. Adjusted net income1 was $38.6 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to adjusted net income1 of $16.9 million, or $0.11 per share, in the second quarter and a net loss of $19.5 million, or $0.14 per share, in the third quarter 2015. Adjusted net income for the third quarter primarily excluded loss on debt extinguishments, gains on the sale of assets, and various tax effects (including a $40.8 million deferred tax benefit related to reorganization activities to integrate recent acquisitions). Third quarter cash flow from operating activities was $47.8 million, resulting from higher average realized metal prices and a $10.3 million decrease in working capital.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA1 was $62.7 million, a decrease of 13% quarter-over-quarter and nearly double the third quarter 2015. At September 30, LTM adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $201.7 million, an 18% quarter-over-quarter increase and more than double the same period last year.

On schedule transition to lower-tonnage, higher-grade, higher-margin underground operations with Guadalupe mining nearly 2,300 tons per day during the quarter
Development of Independencia remains on-track to achieve a mining rate of 1,000 tons per day by year-end
Silver equivalent1 production decreased 21% quarter-over-quarter mostly due to the planned installation of improvements to the Merrill-Crowe processing circuits during the quarter. Process plant recovery rates, grades, and tons mined are all expected to increase in the fourth quarter
Metal sales of $30.7 million decreased 36% quarter-over-quarter and 38% year-over-year
Adjusted CAS per realized AgEqOz1 were $10.14 and adjusted CAS per AgEqOz1 (60:1 equivalence) were $10.70, representing increases of 23% and 19%, respectively, compared to the second quarter due to lower production rates


5



The 400,000 ounce minimum royalty obligation with Franco-Nevada was achieved in July 2016, resulting in the new, more favorable gold stream agreement becoming effective, which is expected to significantly improve Palmarejo's cash flows going forward
The Company has increased full-year 2016 production guidance to 4.1 - 4.6 million silver ounces from 3.9 - 4.4 million silver ounces and 70,000 - 75,000 gold ounces from 67,000 - 72,000 gold ounces
The Company is reducing cost guidance to $10.50 - $11.00 per AgEqOz1 (60:1 equivalence) or $9.75 - $10.25 per realized AgEqOz1 from $12.50 - $13.50 per AgEqOz1 (60:1 equivalence)

Gold production decreased 18% quarter-over-quarter due to mill downtime at the end of the quarter relating to a blocked tailings line. The blockage has been cleared and the mill has resumed operations at full capacity
CAS per AuOz1 of $859 increased 16% compared to the prior quarter due mostly to the mill downtime experienced during the quarter
Metal sales of $40.2 million increased 10% quarter-over-quarter and increased 32% year-over-year due to more ounces sold and higher averaged realized gold prices
Free cash flow1 of $9.4 million represents the highest level in two years
Development of the Jualin decline continues to advance. Initial production is expected in the second half of 2017
The Company has raised the low-end of full-year 2016 production guidance to 120,000 - 125,000 gold ounces from 115,000 - 125,000 gold ounces previously and is reducing full-year 2016 cost guidance to $775 - $825 per AuOz1 from $825 - $875

Gold equivalent1 production remained strong during the third quarter, increasing 6% quarter-over-quarter largely due to a 31% increase in tons placed as well as a return to higher plant recovery rates
Metal sales of $39.3 million increased 16% quarter-over-quarter and 40% year-over-year
Costs applicable to sales increased by $5.4 million quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to a $3.7 million inventory write-down related to lower recoveries from a leach pad
Adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 of $559 increased 5% quarter-over-quarter and decreased 22% year-over-year
Free cash flow1 of $20.5 million represents the highest quarter of free cash flow since Coeur acquired the operation in February 2015 for $99 million. Since that time, Wharf has generated total free cash flow of $72.3 million
The Company has increased full-year 2016 production guidance to 95,000 - 100,000 gold ounces from 90,000 - 95,000 gold ounces and is reducing full-year cost guidance to $600 - $650 per AuEqOz1 from $650 - $750

Silver production decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter. While civil unrest in Bolivia during the quarter did not impact mining operations, it hindered shipments of purchased ore to San Bartolomé's processing facilities. This led to a lower contribution of purchased ore to total production of 27%, down from approximately one-third in the second quarter
Adjusted CAS per AgOz1 were $14.40, 11% higher quarter-over-quarter and in-line with the same quarter last year due to fewer third-party ore purchases
Metal sales of $27.5 million increased 9% quarter-over-quarter and 58% year-over-year
Year-to-date free cash flow1 of $20.5 million
The Company has revised its full-year 2016 production guidance to 5.5 - 5.8 million silver ounces from 5.8 - 6.1 million silver ounces and is maintaining cost guidance of $13.50 - $14.25 per AgOz1

Silver production received from the stream on the Endeavor mine continued to be depressed in the third quarter compared to historical levels following a curtailment of production by the operator due to lower lead and zinc prices
Coeur increased its revised 2016 production guidance for Endeavor to 215,000 - 235,000 silver ounces from 175,000 - 200,000 silver ounces

Exploration
Costs associated with exploration in the third quarter totaled $7.0 million, including $3.7 million (expensed) for exploration targeting the discovery of new silver and gold mineralization and $3.3 million (capitalized) for definition and expansion of mineralized material. For the first nine months of 2016, exploration costs totaled $15.8 million, including $7.7 million (expensed) and $8.1 million (capitalized). Coeur's exploration program ramped up to 12 active drill rigs in the third quarter: six at Palmarejo, four at Kensington, and two at Rochester. A total of 146,284 feet (44,588 meters) of combined core and reverse circulation drilling was completed during the quarter.

On October 10th, the Company provided an update on its expanded exploration initiatives at three of its five operating mines. The focus of the Company’s exploration program continues to be upgrading existing, higher-grade resources to reserves and the discovery of new, higher-grade resources located near existing infrastructure that have the potential to further grow the Company’s production and cash flow, reduce unit costs, and extend expected mine lives.

The Company expects to invest a total of $30 - $34 million in exploration during 2016, including $14 - $16 million for expensed exploration and $16 - $18 million for capitalized exploration. This represents an 82% increase over 2015 exploration spending. Of the $30 - $34 million expanded exploration budget, approximately 85% is expected to be allocated to drilling at or near the Company’s existing operations and about 35% is expected to be invested at the Company’s Palmarejo underground silver-gold mine in Mexico.

Coeur has also ramped up its early stage exploration program, which includes several projects in the U.S. and Mexico. In the third quarter, two holes, totaling 2,046 feet were completed at the Quito property in central Nevada, where Coeur has an earn-in agreement with owner Bravada Gold Corporation. Drilling is expected to commence at several other early stage projects during the remainder of 2016, including the Klondyke project in the Tonopah District in Nevada and the Todos Los Santos project near Chihuahua, Mexico.

In addition, Coeur recently entered into an exploration and option agreement with Eurasian Minerals for the Mineral Hill gold-copper property in Wyoming, which is located approximately 15 miles west of the Company's Wharf operation. Target generation is expected to advance in the fourth quarter with drilling expected to commence in late 2017.

Full-Year 2016 Outlook
Full-year 2016 production guidance remains unchanged from the revised guidance published on October 6, 2016, which reflected a slight overall increase in expected 2016 production levels - particularly at Palmarejo. The revised full-year 2016 cost guidance is show in the table below, which reflects lower cost expectations for full-year 2016 at Palmarejo, Kensington, and Wharf.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs. We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, total debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance. For additional explanation regarding our use of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Notes
1. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), all-in sustaining costs, adjusted all-in sustaining costs, costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce), and adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce are non-GAAP measures. Please see tables in the Appendix for the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. For purposes of silver and gold equivalence, a 60:1 silver to gold ratio is assumed except where noted as average realized prices. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and gold production royalty payments. Please see table in Appendix for the calculation of consolidated free cash flow. Cost guidance reflecting average realized prices reflects year-to-date average realized prices and uses $17.50 per silver ounce and $1,251 per gold ounce for the remainder of the year.
2. Includes capital leases. Net of debt issuance costs and premium received.
