Insights
Endeavour Silver reported mixed financial results for Q4 and full-year 2024, showcasing operational resilience despite equipment challenges. Annual revenue increased to $217.6 million (up 5.9% from 2023's $205.5 million), driven by higher realized metal prices - silver at $27.39/oz (+15%) and gold at $2,397/oz (+22%). Mine operating cash flow improved to $72.3 million from $64.4 million in 2023.
The company posted a net loss of $31.5 million for 2024, a significant swing from 2023's net earnings of $6.1 million. However, this was primarily due to a $30.6 million loss on derivative contracts related to required hedging for the Terronera project financing. Excluding these and other one-time items, adjusted earnings improved to $8.0 million ($0.03/share) from $1.7 million ($0.01/share) in 2023.
Production reached 7.6 million silver equivalent ounces, hitting the higher end of revised guidance despite a trunnion failure at the Guanacevi mine that affected operations from August to December. This equipment issue contributed to a 15% increase in direct operating costs per tonne in Q4 compared to Q4 2023.
The Terronera project stands at 89.4% completion with commissioning expected in early Q2 2025, potentially driving significant production growth. With a solid cash position of $106.4 million and working capital of $78.8 million, Endeavour appears well-positioned to support operations and development initiatives despite the operational challenges faced in 2024.
Endeavour Silver's operational resilience in 2024 deserves attention, particularly their management of the Guanacevi trunnion failure. Despite this significant equipment issue that curtailed mill throughput for nearly four months, the company still achieved 7.6 million AgEq ounces - at the upper end of their revised guidance range. The December return to full capacity demonstrates effective crisis management and technical competence.
The cost implications of this disruption were substantial, with Q4 direct operating costs per tonne jumping 35% at Guanacevi and AISC increasing 27% to $27.33/oz. This reflects the challenge of maintaining fixed costs during reduced throughput periods - a common mining industry dilemma.
The Terronera development (89.4% complete with $302 million spent) represents a pivotal growth catalyst. With wet commissioning approaching in Q2 2025, this asset should significantly alter Endeavour's production profile and cost structure, potentially transforming the company's economics.
Meanwhile, Pitarrilla's advancement, with underground development, drilling, and technical studies progressing toward an economic assessment by Q1 2026, provides a valuable secondary growth vector. The company's exploration investment increase at Pitarrilla during Q4 signals management's confidence in this asset's potential.
The financial complexity introduced by the derivative contracts required under the Terronera debt facility (causing a $30.6 million loss) highlights the trade-offs miners face when financing major projects in volatile metal and currency markets. This financial engineering aspect, while creating accounting volatility, secured essential development capital without excessive equity dilution.

This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States private securities litigation reform act of 1995, as amended and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements and information herein include but are not limited to statements regarding the construction and development of the Terronera Project (as defined herein), including: anticipated timing of the Terronera Project, estimated Terronera project economics; Terronera project’s forecasted operations, costs and expenditures, the timing and completion of an economic study for Pitarrilla; the Company’s future growth and value creation and the timing and results of various activities. The Company does not intend to and does not assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.
Forward-looking statements or information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and are based on assumptions that may cause the actual results, level of activity, production levels, performance or achievements of Endeavour and its operations to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such factors and assumptions include but are not limited changes in production and costs guidance; the ongoing effects of inflation and supply chain issues on mine economics; national and local governments, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in Canada and Mexico; financial risks due to precious metals prices; operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; risks and hazards of mineral exploration, development and mining; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; risks in obtaining necessary licenses and permits; the Company’s ability to continue to comply with the terms of the Debt Facility; the ongoing effects of inflation and supply chain issues on the Terronera Project economics; fluctuations in the prices of silver and gold, fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar); and challenges to the Company’s title to properties; as well as those factors described in the section “risk factors” contained in the Company’s most recent form 40F/Annual Information Form filed with the S.E.C. and Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
