Insights
The Gatos Silver's Q1 2024 report displays a mixed financial performance, with a noteworthy 203% increase in net income for the company, although the Los Gatos Joint Venture (LGJV) experienced a 20% decrease in net income compared to Q1 2023. The rise in general and administrative expenses, including legal expenses, was offset by higher equity income from the LGJV, indicating effective cost management and a potentially stronger underlying business despite higher overall costs.
Investors should pay attention to the increased Free Cash Flow to $15.1 million, signaling enhanced liquidity and the fact that the company remains debt-free with notable cash reserves. The significant capital distribution and posted escrow for settlements reflect on the company’s balance sheet strength and ability to meet its financial obligations. The increase in All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC), especially the by-product AISC, warrants attention as it can impact profit margins, especially if metal prices fluctuate unfavorably.
For retail investors, the positive free cash flow and debt-free status provide a degree of financial stability for Gatos Silver. However, the reliance on LGJV for earnings and the potential volatility in metal prices could introduce risk factors that need to be considered in their investment thesis.
Within the mining and metals sector, Gatos Silver's reported performance shows a consistent silver equivalent production year-over-year, which suggests operational stability. However, the increase in the AISC and cost of sales underlines the rising pressures from inflation and currency movements—a common theme in the industry that is squeezing margins across the board.
Interestingly, the report indicates that the company is actively engaging in exploration efforts and conversion drilling to expand the mine life, pointing to a forward-looking strategy to ensure resource sustainability. Such exploration efforts are critical for the long-term viability of mining companies and can provide a pipeline for future production growth.
The mention of a medium-term target to sustain an increased plant throughput rate beyond 2024 implies an effort to boost productivity. Still, it requires significant capital investments, which are reflected in the anticipated exploration and drilling expenditures. Investors should view these expenses as a balance between current profitability and future growth potentials.
The disclosure and subsequent restatement of financial statements to correct the classification of capital distributions is a key compliance update that signals the company's commitment to transparency and accuracy in financial reporting. Such restatements, although they do not affect the company's liquidity or operations, can influence investor confidence and are material from a governance perspective.
It is also worth noting the proactive steps Gatos Silver has taken in managing its legal obligations by setting aside funds for class action lawsuit settlements. This kind of forward planning for potential liabilities ensures that unexpected legal costs do not suddenly impact the company's financial health, providing a degree of reassurance to investors about the company's management of contingent liabilities.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gatos Silver, Inc. (NYSE/TSX: GATO) (“Gatos Silver” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2024 financial and operating results. The Company will host an investor and analyst call on May 7, 2024, details of which are provided below.
The Company has a
Dale Andres, CEO said: “During the first quarter we continued to add cash to the balance sheet mainly because of the previously disclosed strong operational performance at the LGJV. All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce was at the lower end of 2024 guidance thanks to improved operating efficiencies, which helped to offset inflationary cost pressures and the impact of the stronger Mexican peso.”
“We now expect full year 2024 silver and silver equivalent production to be in the top half and AISC to be in the lower half of our previously announced guidance ranges. We also continue to advance our growth initiatives. Conversion drilling of the South-East Deeps inferred resource to extend mine life progressed well during the quarter and the LGJV has started ramping-up exploration efforts on near-mine and other targets in the highly prospective Los Gatos district.”

At the LGJV, higher sales volumes compared to Q1 2023 helped to drive higher revenue, partially offset by lower realized metal prices due to final settlement adjustments on sales. There was also a significant provisional revenue adjustment in the comparable quarter in 2023.
For Gatos Silver, higher net income, earnings per share and EBITDA1 for Q1 2024 were primarily attributable to the higher equity income from the LGJV, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses including higher legal expenses which are not expected to be recurring beyond 2024. Other G&A expenses were also higher due to non-cash items, including stock-based compensation of

2024 Guidance Update (CLG
Gatos Silver expects plant throughput in 2024 to average in the top half of our previously announced guidance range of 3,000 and 3,300 tonnes processed per day. This compares to 2,935 tonnes per day in 2023. The LGJV continues to strive to achieve sustainably higher plant throughput rates as mine debottlenecking efforts continue with a medium-term target to sustain 3,500 tonnes per day beyond 2024, or
As a result of strong plant throughput performance anticipated in 2024, both silver and silver equivalent production is now expected to be in the top half of our previously announced guidance ranges of 8.4 to 9.2 million ounces and 13.5 to 15.0 million ounces respectively.
The Company expects full year co-product and by-product AISCs to remain in the lower half of our original guidance ranges of

Restatement of Previously Issued Interim and Annual Financial Statements
During preparation of the financial statements for the current quarter, we determined that an accounting classification change was required for the capital distributions received from our investment in affiliate in our consolidated statements of cash flows in 2023. The capital distributions we received should have been classified as “cash provided by operating activities” rather than “cash provided by investing activities” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The reclassifications on our consolidated statements of cash flows do not impact our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023. The reclassifications also have no effect on our business operations, cash balances or liquidity or the financial statements of the Los Gatos Joint Venture.
On May 6, 2024, we filed an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, which restate the consolidated statements of cash flows to correct this misclassification, and revise certain related information, including management discussion and analysis and the discussion of our internal controls and procedures. For further details, refer to the Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2024, on both the EDGAR and SEDAR+ systems.

About Gatos Silver
Gatos Silver is a silver dominant exploration, development and production company that discovered a new silver and zinc-rich mineral district in southern Chihuahua State, Mexico. As a
Qualified Person
Scientific and technical disclosure in this press release was approved by Anthony (Tony) Scott, P.Geo., Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Technical Services of Gatos Silver who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in S-K 1300 and NI 43-101.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain measures that are not defined by GAAP to evaluate various aspects of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.
Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs
Cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) are non-GAAP measures. AISC was calculated based on guidance provided by the World Gold Council (“WGC”). WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements. Other mining companies may calculate AISC differently as a result of differences in underlying accounting principles and policies applied, as well as definitional differences of sustaining versus expansionary (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures based upon each company’s internal policies. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of sales, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, we believe that cash costs and AISC are non-GAAP measures that provide additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of the Company’s operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
Cash costs include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining, processing and other plant costs, treatment and refining costs, general and administrative costs, royalties and mining production taxes. AISC includes total production cash costs incurred at the LGJV’s mining operations plus sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this measure represents the total sustainable costs of producing silver from current operations and provides additional information of the LGJV’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of silver production from current operations, new project and expansionary capital at current operations are not included. Certain cash expenditures such as exploration, new project spending, tax payments, dividends, and financing costs are not included.
EBITDA
Management uses earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company believes the use of EBITDA 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. EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.
Free Cash Flow
Management uses free cash flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free cash flow is cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash flow from investing activities as presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company believes free cash flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of free cash flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures
The table below presents a reconciliation between the most comparable GAAP measure of the LGJV’s expenses to the non-GAAP measures of (i) cash costs, (ii) cash costs, net of by-product credits, (iii) co-product AISC and (iv) by-product AISC for our operations.
