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, 2018. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2017 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, 2017 (the “2017 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the updated revenue guidance applicable under ASC 606, - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The new guidance creates a five-step framework to determine revenue recognition:

1.
Identify the contract with the customer
2.
Identify the performance obligations
3.
Determine the transaction price
4.
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
5.
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
    
The Company produces doré and concentrate that is shipped to third-party refiners and smelters, respectively, for processing. The Company enters into contracts to sell its metal to various third-party customers which may include the refiners and smelters that process the doré and concentrate. The Company’s performance obligation in these transactions is generally the transfer of metal to the customer.

In the case of doré shipments, the Company generally sells refined metal at market prices agreed upon by both parties. The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a portion of the anticipated refined metal in advance of being fully refined. When the Company sells refined metal or advanced metal, the performance obligation is satisfied when the metal is delivered to the customer. Revenue and Costs Applicable to Sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period, typically one to three months, after the shipment date based on market prices. When the Company sells gold concentrate to the third-party smelters, the performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The contracts, in general, provide for provisional payment based upon provisional assays and historical metal prices. Final settlement is based on the applicable price for the specified future quotational period and generally occurs three to six months after shipment. The Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates measured at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through revenue each period until the date of final metal settlement.

The Company also sells concentrate under off-take agreements to third-party customers that are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. Prices are can either be fixed or based on a quotational period. The quotational period varies by contract, but is generally a one-month period following the shipment of the concentrate. The performance obligation is satisfied when the concentrate is loaded onto the third-party shipping vessel. The off-take agreement allows for the Company to sell concentrate in advance of shipment and results in the customer taking ownership of the concentrate prior to shipment.

The Company recognizes revenue from concentrate sales, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer.

For doré and off-take sales, the Company may incur a finance charge related to advance sales that is not considered significant and, as such, is not considered a separate performance obligation. In addition, the Company has elected to treat freight costs as a fulfillment cost under ASC 606 and not as a separate performance obligation.

The Company’s streaming agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) provided for a $20.0 million deposit paid by Franco-Nevada in exchange for the right and obligation, commencing in 2016, to purchase 50%

of a portion of Palmarejo gold production at the lesser of $800 or market price per ounce. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The streaming agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada.

The following table presents a rollforward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

Recent Accounting Standards
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities in the evaluation of acquisitions and disposals of assets or businesses. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” which will require entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and resulted in the inclusion of restricted cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $12.5 million at June 30, 2018 and $9.8 million at June 30, 2017.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance on presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or 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 January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, and resulted in a reclassification of $2.6 million of unrealized holding gains and losses and deferred income taxes related to investments in equity securities from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Accumulated deficit in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on that date. Unrealized holding gains and losses related to investments in equity securities are now recognized in Fair value adjustments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
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 became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which has subsequently been amended several times, to update revenue guidance under the newly-created ASC 606. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. These changes became effective under the modified retrospective method of adoption for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo complex, and the Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. Silvertip is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of silver, zinc and lead. Other includes the La Preciosa project, other mineral interests, strategic equity investments, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.
The Company determined that the disposition of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A., a Bolivian Sociedad anonima (“Manquiri”), which operates the San Bartolomé mine, represents a strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio and has a significant effect on the entity's results and operations; therefore, the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations in Other for all periods presented.
Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4 – RECLAMATION
Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates.

The Company accrued $2.0 million at each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, for reclamation liabilities related to former mining activities, which are included in Reclamation.

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has stock incentive plans for executives and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $5.5 million to three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2018, there was $10.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.
The performance shares issued in 2018 vest at the end of a three-year service period if internal performance metrics are met. The number of shares that vest is also impacted by the inclusion of a modifier that is based upon a relative stockholder return metric. The relative stockholder return metric is included in the determination of the grant date fair value of the performance shares however the recognition of compensation cost for performance share awards is based on the results of the internal performance metrics. The performance shares issued prior to 2018 vest at the end of a three-year service period if relative stockholder return and internal performance metrics are met and the existence of a market condition requires recognition of compensation cost for the relative stockholder return portion of the performance share awards over the requisite period regardless of whether the relative stockholder return metric is met. All other stock-based compensation awards are consistent with prior years.
The following table summarizes the grants awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

NOTE 6 – RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan that covers all eligible U.S. employees. Eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 75% of base salary, subject to ERISA limitations. The Company generally makes matching contributions equal to the employee’s contribution up to 4% of the employee’s salary.

The Company’s effective income and mining 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 the consolidated effective tax rate, along with mining taxes, uncertain tax positions, and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances decreased income and mining tax expense by $4.5 million and increased income and mining tax expense by $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances decreased income and mining tax expense by $0.9 million and increased income and mining tax expense by $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances is predominately due to the Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar.
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. 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 factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the sections titled “Risk Factors” set forth in the 2017 10-K.
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 2014 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 twelve 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 $1.5 million and $2.5 million in the next twelve months.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $4.0 million and $4.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively that, if recognized, 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $3.7 million and $4.8 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 and six months ended June 30, 2018, 1,528,162 and 1,563,841 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. Similarly, 852,176 and 1,426,480 common stock equivalents were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
