Non-GAAP Injunctive Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
Please note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP measures and additional GAAP measures as indicators to evaluate mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared using GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Additional GAAP measures presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income include “Operating profit (loss).” These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company’s mine and operational performance. Measurements per ounce are calculated by dividing relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tons of ore processed in the period. “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” and “Adjusted total carrying costs per ounce” are used in this analysis and are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to evaluate the level of gross margin available to the Company, subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to evaluate a mining company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of calculating these metrics, as determined by the Company, compared to other mining companies. In this context, “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” reflect the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and in-stock inventories associated with the ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” may vary from period to period due to operational efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the period. “Adjusted total sustaining costs per ounce” include total cash, exploration, corporate and administrative costs, share-based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated May 7, 2024 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as presented on SEDAR.
