VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”, "Eldorado Gold" or “the Company”) today reports the Company’s financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2023. For further information please see the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the Company’s profile.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Operations
- Q1 gold production: 112,533 ounces in line with expectations for the quarter. Production increased
21% from Q1 2022, this increase reflected higher gold production at most sites, notably an increase of25% at Kisladag. - Q1 gold sales: 109,817 ounces at an average realized gold price per ounce sold(1) of
$1,932. Gold sales increased16% from Q1 2022 as a result of increases in production at Kisladag, Lamaque, and Olympias. - Cash operating costs(1):
$766 per ounce sold in Q1 2023. Costs decreased from$835 per ounce sold in Q1 2022, primarily due to higher gold production in the quarter. - All-in sustaining costs ("AISC")(1):
$1,184 per ounce sold in Q1 2023. Costs decreased from$1,346 in Q1 2022, primarily reflecting the lower cash operating costs per ounce sold in Q1 2023, combined with lower royalty expense. - Total capital expenditures:
$83.4 million in Q1 2023, including$31.4 million of growth capital(1) invested at Skouries with activity focused on mobilization, procurement and advancement of contracts. Growth capital at the operating mines totalled$24.1 million and was primarily related to Kisladag for waste stripping, construction of the North leach pad and stacking and agglomeration enhancements which are expected to drive stronger recoveries and productivity improvements resulting in higher stacking rates over the remainder of 2023. - Production outlook: We are maintaining our 2023 annual guidance of 475,000 – 515,000 ounces of gold. First quarter production was in-line with our 2023 annual guidance and higher production is expected in the second half of the year.
Financial
- Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital(1):
$94.5 million in Q1 2023, an increase of91% over Q1 2022, primarily as a result of higher gold production and sales volumes. - Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits:
$262.3 million , as at March 31, 2023. Cash decreased by$52.5 million in Q1 2023 over Q4 2022 primarily as a result of temporary working capital movements, combined with continued investment in growth capital. - Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")(2):
$102.5 million compared to$61.7 million in Q1 2022. The increase was driven by increased gold production and gold sales, coupled with lower operating costs. - Net earnings: Q1 2023 net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company was
$21.3 million or$0.12 earnings per share. Increased net income in Q1 2023, compared to Q1 2022, is primarily attributable to increased sales volumes. - Adjusted net earnings(2):
$20.5 million net earnings, or$0.11 earnings per share in Q1 2023 compared to adjusted net loss of$19.3 million ($0.11 loss per share) in Q1 2022. Adjusted net earnings in Q1 2023 removed, among other things, a one-time current tax expense related to the tax law change to fund earthquake relief efforts in Turkiye, a non-cash recovery of deferred tax due to foreign exchange translation and a non-cash gain on the revaluation of the derivative related to redemption options in the debt. - Free cash flow(2): Negative
$34.4 million in Q1 2023, primarily due to temporary working capital movements, combined with continued investment in growth capital. - Financial outlook: 2023 guidance for average cash operating costs per ounce sold of
$760 t o$860 and AISC per ounce sold of$1,190 t o$1,290 is maintained.
Corporate
- Completed Skouries Project Financing Facility: On April 5, 2023, we satisfied all precedent conditions and closed the
€680.4 million project financing facility ("Term Facility") for the development of the Skouries project, with an initial drawdown of€32.3 million completed in mid-April 2023. - Hedging Program: In accordance with the Term Facility, we entered into a secured hedging program in April 2023 including: gold and copper commodity swap contracts for settlement on July 7, 2026; foreign exchange contracts to fix the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate; and an interest rate swap covering
70% of the variable interest rate exposure under the Term Facility. - Appointed Vice-President, Investor Relations: On April 5, 2023, Lynette Gould was appointed as Vice-President, Investor Relations.
- Modified Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") Approval: On April 27, 2023, the modification to the Kassandra Mines EIA was approved by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, allowing the expansion of the Olympias processing facility to 650 ktpa and improvements to the Stratoni port.
"Operations across our global portfolio improved significantly compared to the first quarter of 2022, with gold production
"On April 5, 2023, we announced the closing of the Skouries project financing facility. This strategic facility funds
"As we look ahead to the balance of 2023, the installation of a fine ore agglomeration drum at Kisladag has commenced commissioning and will continue to ramp up to nameplate design in the second quarter, which is expected to improve recoveries and offer potential upside, increasing the production rate through better materials handling on the conveying system at the operation. In Greece, at Olympias, we look to continue the positive operating momentum of the first quarter into the rest of the year. Several key initiatives are underway including the implementation of bulk emulsion and ventilation on demand, designed to improve safety performance and efficiency, aligned with our 2023 guidance and continued transformation objectives," added George. "At both Lamaque and Efemcukuru, we are excited to continue our robust exploration programs aimed at increasing the reserve base, and ultimately extending life of mine."

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Certain of the statements made and information provided in this press release are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws. Often, these forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipates”, "assumes", “believes”, “budget”, "committed", “continue”, “estimates”, “expects”, "focus", “forecasts”, "foresee", "forward", "future", "goal", “guidance”, “intends”, "opportunity", "outlook", “plans”, “potential”, "schedule", "strategy", "target", “underway”, "working" or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “can”, “could”, "likely", "may", “might”, “will” or "would" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking information and information contained in this press release includes, but is not limited to, statements or information with respect to: the recognition of gold sales and related revenue, including the timing thereof; development of the North heap leach pad, including the benefits therefrom; optimization and expansion of the Olympias mine, including approvals of modification plans and the timing thereof; the expected development and operations of the Perama Hill project; the vesting and redemption of the Company's outstanding PSUs; the impact of certain foreign exchange contracts on foreign exchange risk; the duration, extent and other implications of production challenges and cost increases, including those in respect of COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine war and restrictions and suspensions with respect to the Company’s operations; the Company’s 2023 annual production and cost guidance, including our individual mine production; the timing of production; total funding requirements for Skouries, including the sources thereof; the drawdown of the proceeds of the Term Facility, including the timing thereof; the Company’s ability to fund the remaining
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, market uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions about: production and cost expectations; the total funding required to complete Skouries; our ability to execute our plans relating to Skouries, including the timing thereof; our ability to obtain all required approvals and permits; cost estimates in respect of Skouries; no changes in input costs, exchange rates, development and gold; the geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal climate that we operate in, including at the Skouries project; our preliminary gold production and our guidance, benefits of the completion of the decline at Lamaque, the improvements at Kisladag and the optimization of Greek operations; tax expenses in Turkiye; how the world-wide economic and social impact of COVID-19 is managed and the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic; timing, cost and results of our construction and exploration; the future price of gold and other commodities; the global concentrate market; exchange rates; anticipated values, costs, expenses and working capital requirements; production and metallurgical recoveries; mineral reserves and resources; and the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, suspensions or delays on our business and the ability to achieve our goals. In addition, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this release.
Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.
Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: increases in the non-fixed portion of the financing costs or adverse changes to the Term Facility funding the Skouries project; failure or delays to receive necessary approvals or otherwise satisfy the conditions to the continued drawdown of the Term Facility; the proceeds of the Term Facility not being available to the Company or Hellas; ability to execute on plans relating to Skouries, including the timing thereof, ability to achieve the social impacts and benefits contemplated; ability to meet production, expenditure and cost guidance; inability to achieve the expected benefits of the completion of the decline at Lamaque, the improvements at Kisladag and the optimization of Greek operations; inability to assess income tax expenses in Turkiye; as well as those risk factors discussed in the section titled Managing Risk in this MD&A and the sections titled “Forward-Looking Information and Risks” and “Risk Factors in Our Business” in our most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F. The reader is directed to carefully review the detailed risk discussion in our most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F filed on SEDAR and EDGAR under our Company name, which discussion is incorporated by reference in this release, for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect our business and operations.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements and information is designed to help you understand management’s current views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of the Company’s business contained in the Company’s reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States.
