Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


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, 2015. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2014 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Standards
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 is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
    
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The updated guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. These changes become effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.    

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Rochester, Kensington, and Wharf mines, and Coeur Capital. All operating segments are engaged in the discovery and mining of gold and silver and generate the majority of their revenues from the sale of these precious metals with the exception of Coeur Capital, which holds the Endeavor silver stream and other precious metals royalties. Other includes the La Preciosa project, Joaquin project, Martha mine, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.

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. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, mineral prices, mineral processing recovery rates, production levels, capital costs, and reclamation costs. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates.

The increase in asset retirement obligations in the six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to the acquisition of the Wharf gold mine. The Company has accrued $3.7 million and $3.6 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, 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 stock options, restricted stock, and performance shares. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2.6 million and $2.4 million and $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2015, there was $13.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost expected to be recognized over a period of 1.7 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the supplemental incentive accrual increased $0.4 million to $1.4 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, mining tax expense, foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances and uncertain tax position accruals. 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 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 IA 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. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2012 and is no longer subject to examination by certain foreign jurisdictions by tax authorities for years before 2005. 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 by up to $0.5 million in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $17.8 million and $16.1 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount of accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties was $8.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 8 – 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, 2015 and 2014, 3,375,337 and 2,147,989 shares and 3,415,129 and 2,147,390, 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 were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the 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 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. For certain of the equity securities quoted market prices are not available. These securities are valued using pricing models which require the use of observable and unobservable inputs. These securities 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 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 1.2 years and 2.8 years were used to estimate the fair value of the Palmarejo royalty obligation embedded derivative and Rochester NSR royalty obligation, respectively, at June 30, 2015.

The fair values of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes and 7.875% Senior Notes outstanding were estimated using quoted market prices. The Term Loan due 2020 was originated by a third party at June 25, 2015 and, as a result, book value is assumed to approximate fair value. 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 10 – 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 adjacent properties. The royalty transaction includes a minimum obligation of 4,167 gold ounces per month and terminates when payments of 400,000 gold ounces have been made. At June 30, 2015, a total of 59,913 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 10.3% and 11.8% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was a liability of $15.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the mark-to-market adjustments were gains of $0.4 million and losses of $5.1 million and losses of $1.2 million and $15.3 million, 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 $412 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $3.6 million and $5.5 million and $7.8 million and $11.7 million, 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 losses of $0.6 million and nil and gains of $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.8 million ounces of silver and 44,238 ounces of gold at prices of $15.84 and $1,193, respectively.
Silver and Gold Options
At June 30, 2015, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on 0.9 million ounces of silver. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are $17.00 per ounce and $15.50 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 third quarter of 2015. At June 30, 2015, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $1.1 million.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding put spread contracts on 1.3 million ounces of silver and 24,000 ounces of gold. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads were $18.00 per ounce and $16.00 per ounce, respectively. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the gold put spreads were $1,200 and $1,050, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $1.2 million and $1.4 million and unrealized gains of $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, related to outstanding options which were included in Fair value adjustments, net. The Company recognized no realized losses or gains and losses of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and realized gains of $0.8 million and losses of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from expiring and terminated 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 11 – ACQUISITIONS
On April 17, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount"), which held mineral claims adjacent to the Company's Palmarejo mine, including a continuation of the Independencia mineral vein. Upon closing, Paramount became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock was converted into 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition, Paramount spun off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly-traded company, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. ("SpinCo"), which owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. SpinCo was capitalized with $8.5 million in cash contributed by Coeur, which amount has been included in the total consideration paid for the acquisition of Paramount. The Company also paid $1.5 million to acquire 4.9% of the newly issued and outstanding shares of SpinCo.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as Paramount is an exploration stage project, which requires that the total purchase price be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands except share data):

(2) Net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $5.3 million as of June 30, 2015.
7.875% Senior Notes due 2021
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Senior Notes"), resulting in a balance of $432.9 million at June 30, 2015.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028
Per 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, leaving a balance of $0.7 million at June 30, 2015. The Convertible Notes are classified as non-current liabilities at June 30, 2015 as a result of the expiration of the holders' option to require the Company to repurchase the notes on March 15, 2015.
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%. Voluntary prepayments of the Short-term Loan under the Short-term Credit Agreement were permitted without prepayment premium or penalty, subject to notice requirements and payment of accrued interest. The Short-term Loan was secured by a pledge of the Company’s stock in Wharf Resources (U.S.A.), Inc. ("Wharf") and by the grant of security in substantially all of the assets of Wharf and its subsidiaries. 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.
Term Loan due 2020
    
On June 23, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a five year Credit Agreement for a senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan due 2020") with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million Term Loan due 2020 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 due 2020 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 due 2020 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 due 2020 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 due 2020. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan due 2020 may not be re-borrowed. The obligations under the Term Loan due 2020 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
At June 30, 2015, San Bartolomé had two outstanding lines of credit. The first line of credit is for $12.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, maturing in 270 days. The second line of credit is for $15.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, maturing in three years. Both lines of credit are secured with machinery and equipment. There was a combined outstanding balance of $9.1 million on both lines of credit at June 30, 2015.
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 its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico.
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 of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $412 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement are made in cash or gold bullion. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $9.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively and the Company paid $20.1 million and $27.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, payments had been made on a total of 340,087 ounces of gold with further payments to be made on an additional 59,913 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 of $1.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and $3.8 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was $25.5 million and $34.0 million, respectively.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Labor Union Contracts
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 June 30, 2015, approximately 12% 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 Royalties
The Company acquired the Rochester property from ASARCO, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V., in 1983. The Company is obligated to pay a NSR royalty interest to ASARCO when the market price of silver equals or exceeds $23.60 per ounce up to a maximum rate of 5% with the condition that Rochester achieves positive cash flow for the applicable year. If cash flow at Rochester is negative in any calendar year, the maximum royalty payable is $250,000. Royalty expense was nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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 will be 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 June 30, 2015, payments had been made on 11.0 million silver equivalent ounces with further payments to be made on 28.4 million silver equivalent ounces.
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. 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. Please see Note 10 -- Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 17 -- Debt for further discussion on the royalty obligation.
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 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 will receive a $22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement, payable in five quarterly payments. Payments of $5.0 million and $10.0 million were received in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
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.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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. Callahan and the USFS are currently in discussions regarding this matter.
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 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. Mining in other areas above the 4,400 meter level continues to be suspended.
The suspension may reduce production until the Company is able to resume mining above 4,400 meters. It is uncertain at this time how long the suspension will remain in place. If COMIBOL decides to restrict access above the 4,400 meter level on a permanent basis, the Company may need to write down the carrying value of the asset. It is also uncertain if any new mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may affect mining in Bolivia.
Paramount Transaction Litigation
Since the announcement of the Company’s acquisition of Paramount, six lawsuits have been filed related to the merger agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.  The lawsuits assert a variety of causes of action concerning the transaction, including claims against Paramount’s directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the proposed transaction, and claims against the Company for allegedly aiding and abetting such breaches of fiduciary duty.  On February 18, 2015, the court entered an order consolidating the lawsuits and providing that the consolidated case shall be captioned In re Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. Stockholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 10499-VCN. Although the Company completed the acquisition of Paramount on April 17, 2015, the consolidated lawsuits remain pending. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, nor can the Company predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these lawsuits. The Company intends to defend vigorously against these consolidated actions.
NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 10, 2015, the Company temporarily ceased operations at its San Bartolomé mine due to political protests in Potosi, Bolivia. Operations resumed July 31, 2015, and the disruption is not expected to have a material impact on Coeur's consolidated 2015 production or results of operations.

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 our 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 10-K"), as well as other information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are a large silver producer with significant gold production from mines located in the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia; exploration projects in Mexico and Argentina; and streaming and royalty interests in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, and New Zealand. The Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Kensington, Rochester, and Wharf mines, each of which is operated by the Company, and Coeur Capital, primarily comprised of the Endeavor silver stream, constitute our principal sources of revenue. The Company also owns other precious metal royalties.
Our strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold mines and acquire precious metal streams and royalty interests that together 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 management of working capital.
Second Quarter Highlights
Metal sales of $164.5 million and royalty revenue of $1.8 million
Production of 9.1 million silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 4.3 million silver ounces and 80,855 gold ounces
Costs applicable to sales were $12.84 per silver equivalent ounce and $820 per gold equivalent ounce (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")
All-in sustaining costs were $16.80 per silver equivalent ounce (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")
General and administrative expenses reduced to $8.5 million
Adjusted net loss of $14.5 million or $0.11 per share (see "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures")
Capital expenditures of $23.7 million, including $9.4 million of development capital for the high-grade Guadalupe underground mine at Palmarejo
Completed the Paramount Gold and Silver Corp ("Paramount") acquisition and subsequently announced an 89% and 76% increase in Palmarejo silver and gold reserves, respectively
Announced a 39% increase in gold reserves at Wharf
Secured $100 million term loan due 2020 and simultaneously repaid the $50 million short-term loan
Cash and cash equivalents of $205.9 million
Consolidated Performance
Net loss was $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to Net loss of $43.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The lower Net loss in the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to favorable fair value adjustments, lower pre-development expenses related to La Preciosa feasibility study in 2014, higher gold ounces sold, and lower costs applicable to sales per ounce for both silver and gold, partially offset by lower average realized silver and gold prices.
The Company produced 4.3 million ounces of silver and 80,855 ounces of gold in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 4.5 million ounces of silver and 61,025 ounces of gold in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Silver production decreased due to lower grade and throughput at Palmarejo, partially offset by higher recoveries and tons placed at Rochester. Gold production increased in the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to the acquisition of Wharf and higher throughput at Kensington.
Costs applicable to sales were $12.84 per silver equivalent ounce and $820 per gold equivalent ounce in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $14.31 per silver equivalent ounce and $1,008 per gold ounce in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to lower unit

32


costs at Rochester, San Bartolomé, and Palmarejo. Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to lower unit costs at Kensington.
Net loss was $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to Net loss of $80.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The lower Net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to less unfavorable fair value adjustments, lower pre-development expenses related to La Preciosa, higher gold ounces sold, and lower costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce, partially offset by lower silver ounces sold and lower average realized silver and gold prices.
The Company produced 8.1 million ounces of silver and 150,589 ounces of gold in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 8.5 million ounces of silver and 119,861 ounces of gold in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Silver production decreased due to lower grade and throughput at Palmarejo and lower grade at San Bartolomé, partially offset by higher recoveries, grade, and tons placed at Rochester. Gold production increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the acquisition of Wharf and higher grade and throughput at Kensington.
Costs applicable to sales were $13.59 per silver equivalent ounce and $811 per gold equivalent ounce in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $13.80 per silver equivalent ounce and $1,007 per gold ounce in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to lower unit costs at Rochester, partially offset by higher unit costs at Palmarejo. Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to lower unit costs at Kensington.

Consolidated Financial Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
Revenue
Metal sales were generally consistent, as higher gold sales were mostly offset by lower average realized silver and gold prices. The Company realized average silver and gold prices of $16.23 per ounce and $1,179 per ounce, respectively, compared with average realized prices of $19.60 per ounce and $1,277 per ounce, respectively. The Company sold 4.0 million silver ounces and 84,312 gold ounces, compared to sales of 4.6 million silver ounces and 57,751 gold ounces. Silver contributed 40% of sales and gold contributed 60%, compared to 55% of sales from silver and 45% from gold. Royalty revenue increased $0.7 million due to commencement of production at the Correnso mine in New Zealand.
Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales were generally consistent. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.
Amortization
Amortization decreased by $2.4 million, or 5.9%, due to lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment as a result of the 2014 write-downs, partially offset by higher silver equivalent production and the Wharf acquisition.

33


Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to lower outside services, legal fees, and corporate relocation costs incurred in 2014.
Exploration expense decreased 30.5%, or $1.6 million, due to lower spending at Palmarejo and Kensington.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased 74.1% to $2.3 million, primarily due to La Preciosa feasibility study costs in 2014, partly offset by costs related to the Wharf mine acquisition.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, including other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, were a gain of $2.7 million compared to a loss of $9.2 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, as well as changes in current metal prices impacting silver put spreads.
Interest income and other, net decreased by $2.7 million to expense of $2.8 million, compared to expense of $0.1 million, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $1.0 million) decreased to $10.7 million from $12.3 million due to lower accretion of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation and higher capitalized interest.
Income and Mining Taxes
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of $0.3 million, for an effective tax rate of 1.5%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2014 was $(2.6) million, for an effective tax rate of (6.5%). The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income (loss) before tax and income and mining tax (expense) benefit by significant jurisdiction:

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
Revenue
Metal sales decreased by $6.9 million, or 2.1%, to $315.5 million 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 $16.50 per ounce and $1,191 per ounce, respectively, compared with average realized prices of $19.91 per ounce and $1,278 per ounce, respectively. The Company sold 8.1 million silver ounces and 152,733 gold ounces, compared to sales of 8.5 million silver ounces and 120,328 gold ounces. Silver contributed 42% of sales and gold contributed 58%, compared to 52% of sales from silver and 48% from gold. Royalty revenue increased $1.9 million due to commencement of production at the Correnso mine, as well as higher production from the Cerro Bayo and El Gallo mines.

34


Costs Applicable to Sales
Costs applicable to sales increased by $8.6 million, or 3.8%, to $234.2 million. The increase in costs applicable to sales is primarily due to higher gold ounces sold at Palmarejo. For a complete discussion of costs applicable to sales, see Results of Operations below.
Amortization
Amortization decreased by $9.8 million, or 12.0%, primarily due to lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment as a result of the 2014 write-downs, partially offset by higher silver equivalent production.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $6.0 million, or 25.8%, primarily due to lower salaries, legal fees, outside services, and corporate relocation costs incurred in 2014.
Exploration expense decreased $1.5 million, or 16.3%, due to decreased spending at Rochester and Kensington.
Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses decreased 42.8% to $9.0 million, primarily due to La Preciosa feasibility study costs in 2014.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-cash fair value adjustments, net, including other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, were a loss of $3.7 million compared to a loss of $23.2 million, primarily due to the impact of changes in future metal prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty, the Rochester 3.4% NSR royalty obligation, and a $3.5 million other-than-temporary impairment of strategic equity investments in 2014.
Interest income and other, net increased by $1.7 million to expense of $3.8 million, compared to expense of $2.1 million, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest expense (net of capitalized interest of $1.7 million) decreased to $21.5 million from $25.4 million primarily due to the write-off of costs associated with the termination of a former revolving credit facility in 2014 and lower accretion of the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.
Income and Mining Taxes
During the first half of 2015, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million, for an effective tax rate of 0.4%. Estimated income and mining tax benefit during the first half of 2014 was $2.1 million, for an effective tax rate of 2.5%.

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, mining tax expense, foreign exchange rates on deferred tax balances and uncertain tax position accruals. 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 determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a

35


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. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see the MD&A included in the 2014 10-K.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Silver equivalent production decreased 27% due to lower silver grade and mill throughput. Metal sales were $38.9 million, or 24% of Coeur's metal sales, compared with $72.4 million, or 44% of Coeur's metal sales, due to lower production. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased as a result of lower diesel, backfill, and other consumables costs and favorable U.S. dollar exchange rates. Amortization decreased to $9.0 million compared to $18.0 million due to lower production and lower amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment. Capital expenditures increased to $10.7 million compared to $5.6 million due to underground development of the Guadalupe deposit.

The Company completed its acquisition of Paramount and as a result, subsequently announced an 89% increase in silver reserves and a 76% increase in gold reserves at Palmarejo due to the integration of Paramount's portion of the Independencia deposit into its existing Palmarejo operating segment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Silver equivalent production decreased 29% due to lower mill throughput as the mine continues its transition to a lower tonnage, high grade underground operation. Metal sales were $78.3 million, or 25% of Coeur's metal sales, compared with $140.4 million, or 44% of Coeur's metal sales. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased as a result of unfavorable inventory adjustments ($1.05 per ounce), partially offset by lower diesel costs and favorable U.S. dollar exchange rates. Amortization decreased to $16.4 million compared to $36.7 million due to lower production and amortizable mineral interests and mining equipment. Capital expenditures increased to $19.9 million compared to $9.3 million due to underground development of the Guadalupe deposit.

$
20,864

Cash provided by operating activities increased $6.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold and lower costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by lower average realized price per silver equivalent ounce. Metal sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $21.9 million higher due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold, mostly offset by a $21.1 million decrease due to lower average realized price per silver equivalent ounce. The $12.0 million working capital decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to an inventory reduction and an increase in accrued interest, compared to the $20.0 million working capital decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which was primarily due to collection of accounts receivable and an increase in accrued interest.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $12.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold, partially offset by lower average realized price per silver equivalent ounce. Metal sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $39.2 million lower due to lower average realized price per silver equivalent ounce, partially offset by $32.5 million due to higher silver equivalent ounces sold. The $2.4 million working capital requirement for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to payment of accounts payable and payroll, partially offset by inventory reduction due to higher sales, compared to the $4.4 million working capital requirement for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was primarily due to higher leach tons placed at Rochester.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $34.1 million compared to $18.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the acquisition of Paramount and higher capital expenditures in 2015, partly offset by the purchase of the Northair Silver Corp. net smelter returns royalty in 2014. The Company spent $23.7 million on capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $15.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2015 were primarily related to underground development of the Guadalupe deposit at Palmarejo as well as crusher optimization and Stage III buttress construction at Rochester, compared to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $155.5 million compared to $77.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the acquisition of the Wharf gold mine and higher capital expenditures in 2015, partly offset by purchases of short-term investments in 2014. The Company spent $41.3 million on capital expenditures

39


in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $27.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2015 were primarily related to underground development of the Guadalupe deposit at Palmarejo and crusher optimization as well as Stage III buttress construction at Rochester, compared to underground development at Palmarejo and Kensington in the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $23.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2015 is due to the Company's entry into the $100 million Term Loan due 2020 (as defined below), partially offset by the simultaneous repayment of the $50 million Short-term Loan (as defined below) and $9.4 million of debt repayments at San Bartolomé.
    
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $57.7 million compared to $118.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a $50 million Short-term Loan which was subsequently repaid upon entering into the $100 million Term Loan due 2020. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company completed the follow-on offering of $150 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021.
On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a one year Credit Agreement (the "Short-term Credit Agreement") with The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Short-term Credit Agreement provided for a $50 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% (which increased incrementally on the first day of each fiscal quarter commencing July 1, 2015 up to a maximum of 4.50%). Voluntary prepayments of the Short-term Loan under the Short-term Credit Agreement were permitted without prepayment premium or penalty, subject to notice requirements and payment of accrued interest. The Short-term Loan was secured by a pledge of the Company’s stock in Wharf Resources (U.S.A.), Inc. ("Wharf") and by the grant of security in substantially all of the assets of Wharf and its subsidiaries. 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.
On June 23, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a five year Credit Agreement for a senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan due 2020") with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a $100 million Term Loan due 2020 to the Company, of which a portion of the proceeds were used to repay the Short Loan, and the remaining proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan due 2020 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 due 2020 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 due 2020 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 due 2020. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan due 2020 may not be re-borrowed. The obligations under the Term Loan due 2020 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.
Other Liquidity Matters

The Company asserts that its earnings from the Palmarejo operation are indefinitely reinvested. Therefore, no provision has been made for United States federal and state income taxes on the Company's tax basis differences in Mexico, which primarily relate to accumulated foreign earnings that have been reinvested and are expected to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. The Company does not believe that the amounts reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.

The Company may elect to defer some capital investment activities or to secure additional capital to ensure it maintains sufficient liquidity. In addition, if the Company decides to pursue the acquisition of additional mineral interests, new capital projects, or acquisitions of new properties, mines or companies, additional financing activities may be necessary. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available when or if needed upon acceptable terms, or at all.

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, 2014 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, liquidity maintenance efforts and identifying and implementing revenue enhancement opportunities. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates” or similar words. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include (i) the risk factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2014 10-K and the risks and uncertainties discussed in this MD&A, (ii) the risk that the anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions are not realized, (iii) the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), (iv) changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price environment, including the resulting impact on cash flows and debt covenant compliance, (v) the uncertainties inherent in the Company’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground conditions and grade variability, (vi) any future labor disputes or work stoppages (involving the Company and its subsidiaries or third parties), (vii) the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver reserves and mineralized material, (viii) changes that could result from the Company’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, (ix)  the absence of control over and reliance on third parties to operate mines in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations (including results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks, and changes in mine plans and project parameters); (x) the loss of access to any third-party smelter to which the Company markets silver and gold, (xi) the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, (xii) the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, and (xiii) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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:

Costs Applicable to Sales and All-in Sustaining Costs

Management uses Costs applicable to sales ("CAS") and All-in sustaining costs ("AISC") 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 (silver to gold ratio of 60:1) 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 Disclosure 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. 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 - 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. At June 30, 2015, the Company has outstanding put spread contracts on 0.9 million ounces of silver. The weighted average high and low strike prices on the silver put spreads are $17.00 per ounce and $15.50 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 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 third quarter of 2015. At June 30, 2015, the fair market value of the put spreads was a net asset of $1.1 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the price of silver and gold at June 30, 2015 would result in gains of nil and $1.4 million on settlement, respectively.
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. 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 $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015.
At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of 0.8 million ounces of silver and 44,238 ounces of gold at prices of $15.84 and $1,193, respectively. A 10% change in realized silver price would cause revenue to vary approximately $1.3 million and a 10% change in realized gold price would cause revenue to vary approximately $5.3 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.
As of June 30, 2015, a total of 59,913 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 10.3% at June 30, 2015. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2015 was a liability of $15.3 million. A 10% change in the price of gold would result in a change in the fair value of the net derivative liability at June 30, 2015 to vary by approximately $6.2 million.

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. 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 June 30, 2015.
Additional information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments may be found in Note 10 -- Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(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 (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.

(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 June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
