Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed 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, 2016. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2015 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, 2015.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transaction, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. The updated guidance became effective under early adoption for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015, and resulted in a reclassification of amounts from Current deferred tax assets to Non-current deferred tax assets and Current deferred tax liabilities to Non-current deferred tax liabilities in the current and prior periods.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The Company's adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Deferral of the Effective Date", which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" to January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting the prescribed changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which provides a revised, simpler measurement for inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a reduction to the carrying amount of that debt liability, not as an asset. The updated guidance became effective under early adoption for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015, and resulted in a reclassification of amounts from Other Non-current Assets to Debt in the current and prior periods.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The Company's adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances, mining tax expense and uncertain tax position accruals, and the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to
10

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. In addition, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates and foreign exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the jurisdictional mix of income and loss and foreign exchange rates result in significant fluctuations in our consolidated effective tax rate.
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. Each quarter, 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 will ultimately 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 risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, see Part II, Item 1A of this Report.
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 2012 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2008 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next 12 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 $1.0 million and $1.5 million in the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $18.9 million and $17.9 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. If recognized, these unrecognized tax benefits 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $11.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
NOTE 9 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
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 March 31, 2016 and 2015, 3,321,424 and 1,302,777 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 ("Convertible Notes") were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the Convertible 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), 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. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

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. Quoted market prices are not available for certain equity securities; these securities are valued using pricing models, which require the use of observable and unobservable inputs, and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s silver and gold options and other derivative instruments, net, which relate to concentrate and certain doré sales contracts and foreign exchange contracts, are valued using pricing models, which require inputs that are derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, forward market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, and other unobservable inputs. 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 fair values of the Palmarejo royalty obligation embedded derivative and Rochester NSR royalty obligation were estimated based on observable market data including contractual terms, forward silver and gold prices, yield curves, and credit spreads, as well as the Company’s current mine plan which is considered a significant unobservable input. Therefore, the Company has classified these obligations as Level 3 financial liabilities. Based on current mine plans, expected royalty durations of 0.4

The fair values of the Convertible Notes and 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Senior Notes") outstanding were estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Term Loan due 2020 (the "Term Loan") approximates book value (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) as the liability is secured, has a variable interest rate, and lacks significant credit concerns. The fair value of the San Bartolomé line of credit approximates book value due to the short-term nature of the liability and absence of significant interest rate or credit concerns. 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, as well as the Company’s current mine plan which is considered a significant unobservable input.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 legacy adjacent properties, excluding production from the recently acquired Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount") properties. The royalty transaction includes a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month and terminates when payments on 400,000 gold ounces have been made. At March 31, 2016, a total of 20,994 gold ounces remain outstanding under the 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 12.4% and 19.9% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was a liability of $6.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments were losses of $4.9 million and $1.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $416 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment. Realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $3.0 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in Fair value adjustments, net.
Provisional Silver and Gold Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters and refiners which, in most 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. Changes in silver and gold prices resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gains of $0.6 million and $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.4 million ounces of silver and 38,773 ounces of gold at prices of $15.36 and $1,183, respectively.
Silver and Gold Options
At March 31, 2016, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on 0.3 million ounces of silver. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are $15.00 per ounce and $14.00 per ounce, respectively. If the market price of silver 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 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 second quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2016, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $0.1 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $2 thousand and unrealized losses of $0.2 million, respectively, related to outstanding options which were included in Fair value adjustments, net. The Company recognized realized losses of $1.6 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from settled contracts.

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.
NOTE 12 – ACQUISITIONS
On February 20, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of the Wharf gold mine located near Lead, South Dakota, for $99.4 million in cash.

In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes on or after February 1, 2017, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture for the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest.
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028
In accordance with the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”), the Company announced on February 12, 2015 that it was offering to repurchase all of the Convertible Notes. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount. At March 31, 2016, $0.7 million of the Convertible Notes remained outstanding. The Convertible Notes are classified as non-current liabilities at March 31, 2016 as a result of the expiration of the holders' option to require the Company to repurchase the notes.
Term Loan due 2020
On June 23, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement for the Term Loan with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a five year $100.0 million term loan to the Company, of which a portion of the proceeds were used to repay the Short-term Loan, and the remaining proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan contains no financial maintenance covenants and currently bears interest at a rate equal to an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 8.00% (at no time will the adjusted Eurodollar rate be deemed to be less than 1.00% per annum). Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are permitted, subject to the payment of a make-whole premium if such prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, a premium of 105.0% of the principal amount between the first anniversary and the second anniversary of the closing date and a premium of 103.0% if such prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the closing date. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires amortization payments equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan per annum and also requires net cash proceeds of debt issuances, excess cash flow, asset sales and casualty insurance recoveries (in each case, subject to certain exceptions) to either be reinvested in long-term assets used in the Company’s business or be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed. At March 31, 2016, the Company has made amortization payments totaling $0.8 million. The obligations under the Term Loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines, as well as a pledge of the shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants.
Lines of Credit
San Bartolomé had two available lines of credit for an aggregate amount of $27.0 million, both of which were undrawn at March 31, 2016.
Short-term Loan
On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Short-term Credit Agreement") with The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Short-term Credit Agreement provided for a $50.0 million loan (the "Short-term Loan") to the Company. The Short-term Loan generally bore interest at a rate equal to an adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of 2.50%. On June 25, 2015, the Short-term Loan was repaid in full, the security for the Short-term Loan was released, and the Short-term Credit Agreement was terminated.
Capital Lease Obligations
From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment under capital lease agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for a haul truck fleet at its Rochester mine and mining equipment to support the continued underground mine expansion at the Palmarejo complex. All capital lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments.
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 the Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. This royalty excludes production from the recently acquired Paramount properties.
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
19

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $416 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement are made in cash or gold bullion. The Company paid $9.1 million and $10.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, payments had been made on a total of 379,006 ounces of gold with further payments to be made on an additional 20,994 ounces of gold.
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 of $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was $9.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 20 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Labor Union Contract
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 March 31, 2016, approximately 11% 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.
Rochester Production Royalty
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 is 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. At March 31, 2016, a total of 24.1 million silver equivalent ounces remain outstanding under the obligation.
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty and Gold Stream
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 (excluding production from the recently acquired Paramount properties). The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation of 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight-year period for a total of 400,000 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 (excluding production from the recently acquired Paramount properties) 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 received a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement.
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. The Company anticipates that further agency interaction may occur 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 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.
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.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 stability studies have been completed and officially submitted to the Bolivian mining technical authorities. Accordingly, the COMIBOL suspension has expired in accordance with the terms of the resolution. As a result of the resolution, 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. The Cooperative Reserva Fiscal, with whom the Company has one of those contracts, subsequently interpreted the COMIBOL resolution and determined that the Huacajchi deposit was not covered by such resolution. In March 2010, the Cooperative Reserva Fiscal notified COMIBOL that, based on its interpretation, it was resuming mining of high grade material above the 4,400 meter level in the Huacajchi deposit. In December 2011, the Cooperative Reserva Fiscal sent a similar notification to COMIBOL with respect to a further area above the 4,400 meter level known as Huacajchi Sur. Based on these notifications and on the absence of any objection from COMIBOL, the Company resumed limited mining operations at the San Bartolomé mine on the Huacajchi deposit and Huacajchi Sur. Despite the fact that the COMIBOL suspension has expired, the Company has not resumed mining in other areas above the 4,400 meter level due to community relations concerns and the current political climate in Bolivia.
While the COMIBOL suspension has expired, it is uncertain at this time how long the Company will continue to suspend its mining operations in areas above the 4,400 meter level other than at Huacajchi and Huacajchi Sur. If COMIBOL decides to affirmatively adopt a new resolution to restrict access above the 4,400 meter level on a permanent basis, the Company may need to further write down the carrying value of the asset. While a portion of the Company's proven and probable reserves relate to material above the 4,400 meter level at San Bartolomé, so long as operations remain suspended, there is a risk that silver may not be produced from this material at expected levels or at all, particularly given the remaining anticipated mine life of this asset. It is also uncertain if any new mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may affect mining in Bolivia.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") such as costs applicable to sales, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted net income (loss). 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 year ended December 31, 2015 (the "2015 10-K"), as well as other information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We provide some operational and financial data on a silver equivalent basis, converting gold to silver at a 60:1 ratio of silver ounces to gold ounces. We also provide some silver equivalent data using a ratio determined by the actual ratio of average realized silver and gold prices during the relevant period. Silver and gold equivalence are stated using the 60:1 ratio unless otherwise noted.
Overview
We are a gold and silver producer with mines located in the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia and exploration projects in Mexico and Argentina. The Palmarejo complex, the Rochester, Kensington, Wharf, and San Bartolomé mines constitute our principal sources of revenue. The Company also owns Coeur Capital, which is primarily comprised of the Endeavor silver stream as well as other precious metal royalties and strategic investments.
The Company's strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines that 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, reducing operating and non-operating costs, consistent capital discipline, and efficient working capital management.
First Quarter Highlights

• | Metal sales of $146.6 million and royalty revenue of $1.8 million

• | Production of 8.1 million silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 3.4 million silver ounces and 78,072 gold ounces

• | Costs applicable to sales were $12.36 per silver equivalent ounce ($11.37 per realized silver equivalent ounce) and $728 per gold equivalent ounce (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")

• | All-in sustaining costs were $16.28 per silver equivalent ounce ($13.93 per realized silver equivalent ounce) (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")

• | General and administrative expenses reduced 6% from 2015 to $8.3 million

• | Adjusted net loss of $6.6 million or $0.04 per share (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")

• | Capital expenditures of $22.2 million, primarily for the development of the Jualin deposit at Kensington and the Guadalupe and Independencia underground deposits at Palmarejo

• | Sale of non-core royalty assets for total consideration of $5.7 million

• | Cash and cash equivalents of $173.4 million at March 31, 2016

Consolidated Performance
Net loss was $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to Net loss of $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The lower Net loss in three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to higher gold ounces sold, lower costs applicable to sales per silver and gold ounce, and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower average realized silver and gold prices and lower silver ounces sold.
The Company produced 3.4 million ounces of silver and 78,072 ounces of gold in three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 3.8 million ounces of silver and 69,734 ounces of gold in three months ended March 31, 2015. Silver production decreased due to lower mill throughput at Palmarejo and timing of leach pad recoveries at Rochester, partially offset by production from additional high grade ore purchases at San Bartolomé. Gold production increased in three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to a full quarter of attributable production from Wharf.
Costs applicable to sales were $12.36 per silver equivalent ounce and $728 per gold equivalent ounce in three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $14.32 per silver equivalent ounce and $798 per gold ounce in three months ended March 31, 2015. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce decreased in three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to
27

lower unit costs at Palmarejo and San Bartolomé. Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce decreased in three months ended March 31, 2016 due to lower unit costs at Kensington and the addition of Wharf.

Consolidated Financial Results
Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
Revenue
Metal sales decreased 3% due to lower average realized silver and gold prices and lower silver ounces sold, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. The Company realized average silver and gold prices of $15.16 per ounce and $1,178 per ounce, respectively, compared with average realized prices of $16.77 per ounce and $1,204 per ounce, respectively. The Company sold 3.5 million silver ounces and 79,091 gold ounces, compared to sales of 4.1 million silver ounces and 68,420 gold ounces. Gold contributed 64% of sales and silver contributed 36%, compared to 55% of sales from gold and 45% from silver. Royalty revenue was consistent with the prior year as higher attributable production offset lower metal prices.
Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales were lower due to lower unit costs at all sites and lower silver ounces sold partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.
Amortization
Amortization decreased by $5.1 million, or 15%, primarily due to lower production and lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 6%, primarily due to lower compensation and professional services costs.
Exploration expense decreased $2.5 million, or 59%, due to decreased drilling activity at Palmarejo, Kensington, and Rochester.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased 38% to $4.2 million, primarily due to prior year Wharf acquisition costs.
Write-downs were $4.4 million ($3.9 million net of tax) related to the Company's silver stream on the Endeavor mine in Australia as a result of the decision by the mine operator to significantly curtail production due to low lead and zinc prices and the anticipated sale of the Company's tiered NSR royalty on the El Gallo mine.
28

Other Income and Expenses
Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, were a loss of $8.7 million compared to a loss of $4.9 million, primarily due to the impact of changes in future metal prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty and the Rochester 3.4% NSR royalty obligation.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $0.2 million) increased to $11.1 million from $10.8 million primarily due to interest expense associated with additional borrowings, partially offset by lower accretion of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.
Other, net increased by $3.8 million, primarily due to the gain on the sale of the Cerro Bayo royalty and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Income and Mining Taxes
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $2.1 million, for an effective tax rate of 11.5%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first quarter of 2015 was $0.1 million, for an effective tax rate of 0.0%. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit:

| Three months ended March 31, 2016 |  | Three months ended March 31, 2015
In thousands | Income (loss) before tax | Tax (expense) benefit |  | Income (loss) before tax | Tax (expense) benefit
United States | $ | (9,361 | ) | $ | (532 | ) |  | $ | (20,707 | ) | $ | 1,886 |
Argentina | (1,015 | ) | 1,543 |  |  | (696 | ) | (1 | )
Mexico | (7,509 | ) | 17 |  |  | (9,672 | ) | (1,264 | )
Bolivia | 2,047 |  | (1,570 | ) |  | (2,379 | ) | (1,407 | )
Other jurisdictions | (2,452 | ) | (1,564 | ) |  | 235 |  | 718 |
| $ | (18,290 | ) | $ | (2,106 | ) |  | $ | (33,219 | ) | $ | (68 | )

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances, mining tax expense and uncertain tax position accruals, and the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. In addition, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates and foreign exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Variations in the jurisdictional mix of income and loss and foreign exchange rates result in significant fluctuations in its consolidated effective tax rate.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. Each quarter, 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 will ultimately 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 risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets.
Likewise, there are a number of factors that can potentially impact the Company’s effective tax, including the geographic distribution of income, the non-recognition of tax assets, changes in tax laws, and the impact of specific transactions.

Cash flow before changes in operating assets and liabilities | $ | 23,253 |  |  | $ | 10,396 |
Changes in operating assets and liabilities: |  |  |

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (13,574 | ) |  | (15,758 | )
CASH PROVIDED BY (USED IN) OPERATING ACTIVITIES | $ | 6,617 |  |  | $ | (3,449 | )

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold and lower costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by lower average realized prices. Metal sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $8.3 million due to lower average realized prices, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold. The $16.6 million working capital increase for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to an increase in ore on leach pads and the payment of accrued interest, payroll, and other benefits, partially offset by collection of accounts receivable, compared to the $13.8 million working capital increase for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was primarily due to payment of accrued interest, payroll, and other benefits.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $18.6 million compared to $121.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the acquisition of the Wharf gold mine for $99.4 million in February 2015. The Company spent $22.2 million on capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $17.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily related to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington.
Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $15.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $34.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company entered into the Short-term Loan which was subsequently repaid upon entering into the Term Loan.
Other Liquidity Matters
The Company has asserted indefinite reinvestment of certain foreign subsidiary earnings 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.
We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.
32

Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company announced additional non-core asset sales, resulting in expected total consideration of $24.8 million, including the $5.7 million related to the Cerro Bayo royalty sale recognized in three months ended March 31, 2016.
Certain of our debt securities currently trade at substantial discounts to their face amounts. In order to reduce future cash interest payments, and/or amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, from time to time we may repurchase such debt 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 regularly engage in conversations with our bondholders and 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 such transactions may occur at a substantial discount to the debt securities' face amount.
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, 2015 for the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains numerous forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) relating to the Company’s gold and silver mining business, including statements regarding strategies to produce long-term cash flow, provide opportunities for growth through continued exploration, and generate superior and sustainable returns for stockholders, maximizing net cash flow, reducing operating and non-operating costs, demonstrating consistent capital discipline, efficient management of working capital, tax positions, and the adequacy of liquidity and capital resources.

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.
Net income (loss) is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) in the table below, with amounts presented after-tax:

Adjusted net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.04 | ) |  | $ | (0.19 | )

Costs Applicable to Sales and All-in Sustaining Costs
Management uses Costs applicable to sales ("CAS") and All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") (as defined by the World Gold Council) 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 gold 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 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.

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 11 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion of the Company's market risk assessments contains "forward looking statements" that contain risks and uncertainties. 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 and Silver Price
Gold and silver 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 and silver.
Gold and Silver Hedging
To mitigate the risks associated with gold and silver price fluctuations, the Company may enter into option contracts to hedge future production.
If the market price of silver 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 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 Company may be exposed to non-performance 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 put spread contracts are generally net cash settled and expire during the second quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2016, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $0.1 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the price of silver and gold at March 31, 2016 would result in gains of nil and $0.1 million on settlement, respectively.
Provisional Silver and Gold Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters 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 and silver 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. Changes in silver and gold pricing resulted in provisional pricing mark-to-market gains of $0.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2016.
At March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.4 million ounces of silver and 38,773 ounces of gold at prices of $15.36 and $1,183, respectively. A 10% change in realized silver price would cause revenue to vary by $0.7 million and a 10% change in realized gold price would cause revenue to vary by $4.6 million.
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty
On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties and includes a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month which terminates when payments in respect of 400,000 gold ounces have been made. The minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument due to the impact of fluctuating gold prices on the underlying gold ounces.
At March 31, 2016, a total of 20,994 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was 12.4% at March 31, 2016. The fair value of the embedded derivative at March 31, 2016 was a liability of $6.8 million. A 10% change in the price of gold would result in a change in the fair value of the net derivative liability at March 31, 2016 to vary by $2.0 million.
36

Foreign Currency
The Company operates, or has mineral interests, in several foreign countries including Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, 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 Currency Hedging
To manage foreign currency risk, the Company may enter into forward foreign currency contracts and option contracts when the Company believes such contracts would be beneficial. The Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2016.
37

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. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such officers concluded that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
