VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) today reports the Company’s financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2021.
- Quarterly production in line with expectations; full year 2021 annual guidance: Gold production totalled 116,066 ounces in Q2 2021, a decrease of
16% from Q2 2020 production of 137,782 ounces and a4% increase over Q1 2021, driven by a planned shift to lower-grade ore at Kisladag. Eldorado is maintaining its 2021 annual production guidance of 430,000-460,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of$920 -1,150 per ounce sold. - All-in sustaining costs: Q2 2021 all-in sustaining costs of
$1,074 per ounce of gold sold in the quarter increased from Q2 2020 ($859 per ounce sold) as a result of lower production in the quarter and increased from Q1 2021 ($986 per ounce sold) primarily as a result of AISC in that quarter benefiting from a reversal of accrued royalty expense. - Net loss and adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders: Net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company in Q2 2021 was
$55.7 million , or$0.31 loss per share (Q2 2020:$49.1 million or$0.29 earnings per share, Q1 2021:$11.9 million or$0.07 earnings per share)(1). Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company in Q2 2021 were$29.3 million , or$0.16 earnings per share (Q2 2020:$47.2 million or$0.28 earnings per share, Q1 2021:$24.6 million or$0.14 earnings per share)(1). - EBITDA: Q2 2021 EBITDA was
$7.6 million (Q2 2020:$131.8 million Q2 2020$105.3 million ) and Q2 2021 adjusted EBITDA was$101.9 million (Q2 2020:$135.8 million , Q2 2020:$108.0 million ). Material adjustments in Q2 2021 included a$99.5 million ($89.5 million net of deferred tax) impairment of the Tocantinzinho project, a non-core gold asset, as a result of a plan to consider selling the project. - Free cash flow: Negative free cash flow of
$36.6 million in Q2 2021 decreased from free cash flow of$63.4 million in Q2 2020 as a result of higher capital spend and lower sales. A decrease from free cash flow of$24.6 million in Q1 2021 was primarily due to increased growth capital spending, increased tax payments and the timing of royalty and interest payments. We expect free cash flow generation to improve in the second half of 2021. - Financial position: Debt repayments in Q2 2021 included
$50 million on the Company's revolving credit facility and$22 million on the Company's term loan. At June 30, 2021, the Company had$410.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and term deposits and approximately$150 million available under its revolving credit facility. - Capital spending: Capital expenditures totalled
$72.5 million in Q2 2021 (Q2 2020:$37.1 million , Q1 2021:$64.9 million ), reflecting a planned increased in growth capital spending and following reduced spending in the prior year due to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. Capital allocation is following a rigorous process to ensure discipline and control at all operations.
- At Kisladag,
$29.4 million investment in the quarter related to waste stripping, construction of the north leach pad to support the mine life extension and installation of a high-pressure grinding roll ("HPGR") circuit, which is expected to improve heap leach recovery with commissioning now scheduled to initiate at the start of Q4 2021. - At Lamaque,
$8.9 million investment in the quarter related primarily to the decline connecting the Triangle underground mine with the Sigma mill, which is expected to reduce operating costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide access for underground drill platforms for Ormaque, Plug 4, and other exploration targets in the prospective corridor.
- At Kisladag,
- Optimization of the Kassandra mines: Operations at Olympias were negatively affected in Q2 2021 as the Company progresses through the implementation of transformation efforts at its Kassandra mines. Discussions with stakeholders are ongoing and are expected to lead to a sustainable continuous improvement program as the year progresses.
- Measures remain in place to manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic: The Company's mines remain fully operational and isolated cases of COVID-19 have been successfully managed. Preventing the spread of COVID-19, ensuring safe working environments across Eldorado's global sites, and preparedness should an outbreak occur, remain priorities.

“We delivered strong production this quarter driven by Kisladag and Lamaque and we continue to be on track to meet our 2021 production and cost guidance," said George Burns, President and CEO. “We ended the quarter with a cash balance of just over
“In line with our growth strategy, we are investing capital into our operations, particularly at Kisladag and Lamaque, to deliver value from our portfolio of assets. Equally, the Kassandra mines represent a significant opportunity for the company to develop our top tier assets in Europe. In Greece, we continue to work through transformation efforts focused on increasing productivity and are actively engaged with our key stakeholders on this front.”
“With strong operational results in the first half of 2021 and numerous upcoming catalysts expected in the second half of the year, Eldorado remains well positioned for growth and value creation in the future.”
