Recent Business and Financial Updates

• Strong Production Despite Challenges: Endeavour Silver achieved production at the higher end of its revised 2024 guidance, despite operational challenges. The company produced 7.6 million silver equivalent (AgEq) ounces, including 4,471,824 silver ounces and 39,047 gold ounces. Production was temporarily impacted by a trunnion failure in the primary ball mill at the Guanaceví mine from August to December. However, operations resumed at full capacity by year-end.
• Revenue Growth Driven by Higher Realized Prices: The company reported strong revenue of USD 217.6 million, reflecting the sale of 4,645,574 silver ounces and 38,522 gold ounces at average realized prices of USD 27.39 per ounce for silver and USD 2,397 per ounce for gold. Despite a decrease in production volume, higher realized metal prices contributed to revenue growth, offsetting lower sales.
• Cost and Profitability Metrics: While consolidated cash costs per silver ounce decreased by 4% year-over-year to USD 12.99, all-in sustaining costs (AISC) increased by 4% to USD 23.88 per ounce due to lower production. Mine operating cash flow before taxes rose to USD 72.3 million, up from USD 64.4 million in 2023, while adjusted EBITDA increased by 12% to USD 52.7 million. However, the company recorded a net loss of USD 31.5 million, primarily due to losses on derivative contracts, foreign exchange fluctuations, and increased exploration costs.
• Strategic Project Developments: The Terronera project neared completion, reaching 89.4% progress with USD 302 million of the project’s budget spent by year-end. Wet commissioning is scheduled for early Q2 2025. Additionally, Endeavour Silver advanced exploration and technical studies at the Pitarrilla project, with an economic assessment expected by Q1 2026. These developments position the company for future growth.
• Liquidity and Capital Structure: Endeavour Silver maintained a strong liquidity position with USD 106.4 million in cash and working capital of USD 78.8 million. Despite operational setbacks, the company improved its adjusted net earnings to USD 8.0 million, or USD 0.03 per share, compared to USD 1.7 million, or USD 0.01 per share, in 2023.
