Rhea-AI Summary

Eldorado Gold has provided an update regarding the tax impacts on their mining operations in Turkiye for Q2 2024. The current income tax expense, which is taxed at a 25% enacted rate, is expected to decrease by $3 to $5 million. This decrease is primarily due to investment tax credits related to the Kisladag and Efemcukuru mines and the effects of inflation accounting. However, this is partly offset by taxable unrealized foreign exchange gains resulting from the weakening of the Turkish Lira against the US dollar. Eldorado Gold will release its Q2 2024 financial and operational results after market close on July 25, 2024. A conference call to discuss these results is scheduled for July 26, 2024, at 11:30 AM ET, details of which are available on their website.

Positive
  • Expected tax expense decrease of $3 to $5 million due to investment tax credits and inflation accounting.
Negative
  • Taxable unrealized foreign exchange gains from the weakening Turkish Lira against the US dollar may offset some tax benefits.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or the “Company”) today provides the following updates on the tax impacts in Turkiye in Q2 2024.

Tax Impacts in Turkiye for Q2 2024

The Company’s profits from mining operations in Turkiye are taxed at the enacted rate and the resulting current income tax expense can be further increased or reduced by other items. For the second quarter, the Company expects the Turkish current income tax expense on mining profits, at an enacted rate of 25%, to be further decreased by $3 to $5 million. The estimated decrease is primarily attributable to investment tax credits relating to Kisladag and Efemcukuru, and the effects of inflation accounting, partly offset by taxable unrealized foreign exchange gains due to the weakening of the Lira, against the US dollar, in the quarter.
