Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in British Columbia, Canada.

 

The Company is engaged in precious and base metal mining and related activities in Latin America, including exploration, extraction, and processing. The Company operates the Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine (“Caylloma”) in southern Peru, the San Jose silver and gold mine (“San Jose”) in southern Mexico, and is completing the ramp-up phase of the open pit gold heap leach mine at its Lindero property (the “Lindero Mine”) in northern Argentina.

 

On July 2, 2021, Fortuna and Roxgold Inc. (“Roxgold”) announced the completion of the previously announced business combination between Fortuna and Roxgold (the "Transaction") whereby Fortuna acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares of Roxgold (see Note 29). Roxgold’s principal assets are the producing Yaramoko gold mine in Burkina Faso, the Séguéla development project in Côte d’Ivoire, and the Boussoura exploration property in Burkina Faso.

 

The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FSM, on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FVI, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol F4S.

 

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 650 - 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, Canada, V6C 3L6.

 

2.COVID-19 UNCERTAINTIES AND LIQUIDITY RISK

 

COVID-19 Uncertainties

 

The Company is managing the necessary country-by-country restrictions related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 in order to assist in the protection of those most vulnerable. In 2021, the Company has experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases in Argentina and Peru which has affected operations at the Lindero Mine and the Caylloma Mine and has resulted in a reduced workforce and quarantine periods for those affected. Each of the Company’s mine sites is, at the date of these interim financial statements, operating with a reduced workforce. Worker availability continues to be a challenge but is currently being mitigated by increasing the use of temporary workers and contractors. Health protocols are in place at each mine site for control, isolation and quarantine, as necessary, and these continue to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly based on the circumstances at each location. The Company’s focus is the health and safety of the workforce and on measures to prevent and manage the transmission of COVID-19 amongst the workforce and the communities in which the Company operates.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Argentina suffered a surge of COVID-19 with the infection rate peaking at 41,000 cases per day. Extended nationwide COVID-19 related travel restrictions continued to limit onsite access to foreign vendor support affecting ramp up activities at Lindero. The COVID-19 infection rate at Lindero increased during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and had a significant impact on the operations, with 163 personnel testing positive, representing 18 percent of the workforce. The Company intermittently suspended operations voluntarily for a total of 16 days during the second quarter of 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

The Company’s operations and financial performance are dependent on it being able to operate at each of its mines and projects.  Given the fast-changing situation with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, including further waves of the virus and the emergence of variant forms of the virus, it is difficult to predict the exact nature and extent of the impact the pandemic may have on the Company’s operations and its business. Until the number of cases and death rate starts to flatten and decline, there is no certainty that the governments of countries in which the Company operates will not mandate another round of extreme measures, including the suspension of business activities, which could include mining. Outbreaks of COVID-19 in areas where the Company operates or further restrictive directives of government and public health authorities could cause delays or disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, restrict access to its mine sites, restrict its ability to transport and ship gold doré and/or metal concentrates, restrict access to processing and refinery facilities, or impediments to market logistics. Further suspensions of operations or curtailment of commissioning activities at the Company’s mines remains a significant risk to its business and operations.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk by the preparation of internally generated cash flow forecasts. These short-term cash flow forecasts consider the estimation of future operating costs, financing costs, development capital and cash receipts from sales revenue. Sensitivity analyses are also performed, including the impact of volatility in estimated commodity prices.

 

The Company had $121.8 million of liquidity comprised of cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2021, and believes that its cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s minimum obligations for at least the next 12 months from June 30, 2021. It is contemplated that during the third quarter of 2021, the Company’s existing $120.0 million credit facility, which matures on January 26, 2022 will be replaced during the third quarter of 2021 by a new $200.0 million credit facility pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement with the Company’s existing and new lenders.

 

3.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.

 

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.

 

In 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16) (“Phase 2 amendments”) to address the financial reporting impacts of replacing one benchmark interest rate with an alternative rate and became effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of these amounts did not have a significant effect on the Company’s interim financial statements.

 

On August 10, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issuance.

All amounts in these interim financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars, unless otherwise stated.

 

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use

 

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Company elected to early adopt the amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use (“IAS 16 amendment”) on December 31, 2020, and in accordance with the transitional provisions of that standard, the amendments were applied retrospectively and the information presented for the period ended June 30, 2020 has been restated. The following table show the changes to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, upon adoption of the IAS 16 amendment:

Basis of Measurement

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 26) at the end of each reporting period.

 

4.USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

 

Metal  Change   Effect on Sales 
Silver   +/-10%  $1,922 
Gold   +/-10%  $812 
Lead   +/-10%  $419 
Zinc   +/-10%  $298 

 

From time to time, the Company mitigates the price risk associated with its base metal production by entering into forward sale and collar contracts for some of its forecasted base metal production and non-metal commodities.

 

During December 2020, the Company entered into the following contracts:

 

·zero-cost collar for 12,300 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of $2,600 per tonne and a cap of $2,900 per tonne, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021;

·zero-cost collar for 720,000 gallons of heating oil with a floor price of $1.40 per gallon and a cap of $1.6150 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021;

·zero-cost collar for 1,680,000 gallons of jet fuel with a floor price of $1.30 per gallon and a cap of $1.4775 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021;

·forward-swap for 720,000 gallons of heating oil with a price of $1.52 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022; and

·forward- swap for 1,680,000 gallons of jet fuel with a price of $1.438 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

 

On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar for 6,237 tonnes of lead with a floor price of $2,000 per tonne and a cap of $2,125 per tonne, maturing monthly from February 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

 

The zinc, lead and fuel contracts are derivative financial instruments and are not accounted for as designated hedges. They were initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the related derivative contracts were entered into and are subsequently re-measured to estimated fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are credited or charged to profit or loss.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company recognized $1,840 thousand and $955 thousand of realized loss and gain respectively on settlement of swaps, and $107 thousand and $751 thousand of unrealized loss and gains respectively, from changes in the fair value of the open positions (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – nil and nil, respectively).

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

 

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

The following sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.

Financial asset or liability Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value
Trade receivables Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of a quotational period. These are marked to market at each reporting date based on the forward price corresponding to the expected settlement date.
Investments in equity securities Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value through other comprehensive income.

Interest rate swap, metal and

fuel contracts

Fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. These are discounted using a yield curve, and adjusted for credit risk of the Company or the counterparty.
Convertible Debentures The fair value of the convertible debentures represents both the debt and equity components of the convertible debentures and has been determined with reference to the quoted market price of the convertible debentures.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

28.CONTINGENCIES AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

 

(a)Caylloma Letter of Guarantee

 

The Caylloma Mine closure plan was updated in December 2018, with total undiscounted closure costs of $11.4 million consisting of progressive closure activities of $3.5 million, final closure activities of $7.2 million, and post-closure activities of $0.8 million, pursuant to the closure regulations.

 

The Company is required to provide a guarantee of $9.7 million to the Peruvian Government for 2021, therefore, in January 2021, the Company established a security bond in the amount of $1.5 million and a bank letter of guarantee in the amount of $8.4 million, in compliance with local regulation and to collateralize Bateas’ mine closure plan. The security bond and the letter of guarantee expire on January 28, 2022.

 

In December 2020, the Company updated the Bateas closure plan which was submitted to the Mining Ministry for approval. The Company expects the approval to occur during 2021.

(b)San Jose Letter of Guarantee

 

The Company has established three letters of guarantee in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million to fulfill its environmental obligations under the terms and conditions of the Environmental Impact Statements issued by the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (“SEMARNAT”) in 2009 in respect of the construction of the San Jose mine, and in 2017 and 2020 with respect to the expansion of the dry stack tailings facility at the San Jose mine. The letters of guarantee expire on December 31, 2023, June 15, 2022, and August 13, 2022, respectively.

 

(c)Other Commitments

 

As at June 30, 2021, the Company had capital commitments of $6.6 million and $0.7 million for civil work, equipment purchases and other services at the Lindero and San Jose Mines, respectively, which are expected to be expended within one year.

 

(d)Tax Contingencies

 

The Company was assessed $1.2 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles), including interest and penalties of $0.6 million (2.4 million Peruvian soles), for the 2010 tax year by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, with respect to the deduction of certain losses arising from derivative instruments. The Company has applied to the Peruvian tax court to appeal the assessment.

 

On January 22, 2019, the Peruvian tax court reaffirmed SUNAT’s position and denied the deduction. The Company believes the assessment is inconsistent with Peruvian tax law and that it is probable the Company will succeed on appeal through the Peruvian legal system. The Company has paid the disputed amount in full and has initiated proceedings through the Peruvian legal system to appeal the decision of the Peruvian tax court.

 

As at June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded the amount paid of $1.2 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles) in long-term receivables and other, as the Company believes it is probable that the appeal will be successful (note 10).

 

(e)SGM Royalty

 

In January 2020, the Company received notice from the Dirección General de Minas (“DGM”) seeking to cancel one of the Company’s mining concessions at the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico if a disputed royalty, in the Mexican peso equivalent of $30 million plus VAT (being the amount of the claimed royalty from 2011 to 2019), was not paid before March 15, 2020. In early February 2020, the Company began legal proceedings (the “Amparo Proceedings”) to contest the initiation of the cancellation procedure taken by the DGM on the Company’s mining concession, if the royalty claimed by the Mexican Geological Service (the “SGM”) was not paid. Effective May 27, 2021, the DGM provided notice to the Company of the termination of the cancellation procedure, as it had determined that the required cause for cancellation of the concession was not established. As a result, the Company discontinued the Amparo Proceedings in the Collegiate Court in Mexico. Further, on advice received from Mexican counsel, the Company withdrew the administrative and legal proceedings that it had initiated in the Mexican Federal Administrative Court to remove reference to the royalty on the title register. The withdrawal does not mean that the dispute relating to the royalty is resolved but was recommended in this legal process. The Company may recommence the action if necessary. The Company is now currently engaged in discussions with the SGM to reach an agreement to the satisfaction of both parties with respect to the royalty claim.

 

The Company has determined that it is possible that an outflow of resources will occur, however, the outcome is subject to a successful negotiation which is uncertain at this time, therefore no provision has been recorded as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(f)Other Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various investigations, royalties and other claims, legal, labor, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date these interim financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.

 

29.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

(a)Business Combination

 

On July 2, 2021, the Company and Roxgold completed the previously announced business combination between Fortuna and Roxgold (the "Transaction"). Roxgold’s principal assets are the producing Yaramoko mine in Burkina Faso, the Séguéla development project in Côte D’Ivoire, and the Boussoura exploration property in Burkina Faso.

 

The Transaction was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to the arrangement agreement between Fortuna and Roxgold dated effective April 26, 2021. Under the terms of the Transaction, Fortuna acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares ("Roxgold Shares") of Roxgold in exchange for 0.283 of a common share of Fortuna (a "Fortuna Share") and C$0.001 in cash for each Roxgold Share. Subsequent to the share issuance Fortuna and former Roxgold shareholders owned 63.6% and 36.4%, respectively, of the combined entity. Upon completion of the transaction, Roxgold became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortuna.

 

The Transaction was approved by Roxgold shareholders at a special shareholder meeting held on June 28, 2021 and the issuance of Fortuna Shares under the terms of the Transaction was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company's annual and special meeting held on June 28, 2021. Following the shareholder meetings, the British Columbia Supreme Court granted a final order on June 30, 2021 approving the Arrangement.

 

On closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 106,106,224 common shares and paid $0.3 million in cash in exchange for all of Roxgold’s issued and outstanding common shares. In addition, the Company paid:

 

·$29.3 million in change of control payouts and payouts of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, to non-continuing executives and directors.
·$4.6 million to continuing employees and executives.

 

Under the terms of the Arrangement, all Roxgold stock options, RSUs and PSUs issued in 2018, 2019, and 2020 outstanding as at the effective time of the Arrangement continue to be subject to the respective Roxgold long-term incentive plans (including with respect to vesting and settlement), except that on settlement thereof the holder will receive 0.283 of a Fortuna Share or the cash equivalent at the time of settlement. Accordingly, the Company may be required to issue up to 405,240 common shares upon the exercise of Roxgold stock options, up to 1,023,696 common shares upon the settlement of Roxgold PSUs, and up to 1,419,649 common shares upon the settlement of Roxgold RSUs.

 

The Company has determined that this transaction represents a business combination, with the Company identified as the acquirer. Based on the July 1, 2021 closing share price of the Company’s Common Shares on the NYSE, the fair value of the shares issued was $582.5 million. The Company began consolidating the operating results, cash flows and net assets of Roxgold from July 2, 2021 onwards.

The Company will disclose a preliminary purchase price allocation in the third quarter 2021 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, transaction costs in the form of advisory, legal and other professional fees of $3.5 million, were expensed as incurred and included in the interim Condensed Consolidated Income (Loss) Statements.

 

(b)Share Units Granted

 

On July 2, 2021, with a fair value of each unit of $5.59 (C$6.91), the Company granted 259,101 cash-settled restricted share units, and 259,101 share-settled performance share units. The units vest 20% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 30% on the second anniversary and 50% on the third anniversary. The equity-settled performance share units are only paid out if certain performance targets are met.

 

On July 2, 2021, the Company granted 6,512 deferred share units with a fair value of $5.59 (C$6.91) per unit, in connection with the appointment of a new non-executive director.
