N. Eric Fier, CEO, commented, "We are pleased to deliver another quarterly record for both revenue and mine operating earnings, as well as one of our best quarters to date for both operating and free cash flow. Our results were supported by strong metal prices, impressive sales quantities and all-in sustaining costs that were well below the low end of our 2024 guidance. Mining rates continued to benefit from having two underground contractors, a dynamic we plan to maintain into Q1 2025 as part of our strategy to manage single asset risk and create additional operational flexibility. These results once again showcase the quality and consistency of our asset and operating team.
Free cash flow per share remains a strong testament of our performance, increasing

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measures will enable certain investors to better evaluate the Company's performance, liquidity, and ability to generate cash flow. These measures do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
Average realized gold and silver price
Average realized gold and silver price per ounce is calculated by dividing the Company's gross revenue from gold or silver sales for the relevant period by the gold or silver ounces sold, respectively. The Company believes the measure is useful in understanding the metal prices realized by the Company throughout the period. The following table reconciles revenue and metal sold during the period with average realized prices:
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Gold revenue | 37,580 | 28,005 | 100,935 | 81,361 |
Gold ounces sold during the period | 15,204 | 14,500 | 44,704 | 42,100 |
Average realized gold price (per oz sold) | $ 2,472 | $ 1,931 | $ 2,258 | $ 1,933 |
Silver revenue | 42,791 | 35,823 | 115,823 | 102,449 |
Silver ounces sold during the period | 1,451,493 | 1,530,000 | 4,299,493 | 4,341,000 |
Average realized silver price (per oz sold) | $ 29.48 | $ 23.41 | $ 26.94 | $ 23.60 |
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures or non-sustaining capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Sustaining capital expenditures are those required to support current production levels. Non-sustaining capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase production or extend mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of AISC.
The following table reconciles payments for mineral properties, plant and equipment, and equipment leases to sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures:
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Payments for mineral properties, plant and equipment | $ 10,449 | $ 13,081 | $ 44,797 | $ 33,930 |
Payments for equipment leases | 37 | 11 | 84 | 82 |
Total capital expenditures | 10,486 | 13,092 | 44,881 | 34,012 |
Less: Non-sustaining capital expenditures | (2,543) | (3,256) | (11,455) | (8,892) |
Sustaining capital expenditures | $ 7,943 | $ 9,836 | $ 33,426 | $ 25,120 |
Free cash flow
Free cash flow subtracts sustaining capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities, serving as a valuable indicator of our capacity to generate cash from operations post-sustaining capital investments. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure:
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Operating cash flow (1) | $ 44,166 | $ 43,801 | $ 82,618 | $ 122,165 |
Less: sustaining capital expenditures | (7,943) | (9,836) | (33,426) | (25,120) |
Free cash flow | $ 36,223 | $ 33,965 | $ 49,192 | $ 97,045 |
Free cash flow per share (basic) | $ 0.24 | $ 0.23 | $ 0.33 | $ 0.66 |

Working capital
Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. The Company uses working capital as a measure of the Company's operational efficiency and short-term financial health.
Operating margin
Operating margin is calculated as mine operating earnings divided by revenue. The Company uses Operating Margin as a measure of the Company's profitability. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standard measure:
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Revenue | $ 80,371 | $ 63,828 | $ 216,758 | $ 183,810 |
Mine operating earnings | 47,033 | 37,460 | 125,998 | 111,359 |
Operating margin | 59 % | 59 % | 58 % | 61 % |
Operating cash flow before change in working capital
The Company uses operating cash flow before change in working capital to determine the Company's ability to generate cash flow from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in working capital to operating cash flow as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Operating cash flow (1) | $ 44,166 | $ 43,801 | $ 82,618 | $ 122,165 |

(1) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating cash flow has been adjusted to include |
Treasury assets
SilverCrest calculates treasury assets as cash and cash equivalents plus bullion as reported in the consolidated statements of financial position. Management believes that treasury assets provide a useful measure of the Company's most liquid assets that can be used to settle short-term obligations or provide liquidity. Treasury assets are calculated as follows:
September 30 | December 31 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ 120,864 | $ 85,964 |
Bullion | 37,374 | 19,191 |
Treasury assets | $ 158,238 | $ 105,155 |
Cash costs
Cash costs include production costs, and government royalties. Management uses this measure to monitor the performance of its mining operation and ability to generate positive cash flow on a site basis.
AISC
All-in sustaining costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, starts with cash costs and includes general and administrative costs, reclamation accretion expense and sustaining capital expenditures. Management uses this measure to monitor the performance of its mining operation and ability to generate positive cash flow on an overall company basis.
Cash costs and AISC are calculated as follows:
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
Production costs | $ 23,153 | $ 19,728 | $ 64,036 | $ 56,168 |
Government royalties | 404 | 319 | 980 | 927 |

Adjusted earnings
Adjusted earnings and adjusted basic earnings per share (collectively, "Adjusted Earnings") are presented to remove items that are unrelated to ongoing operations. These metrics do not have a standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Earnings differently. Adjusted Earnings excludes the tax-effected impact of transaction and integration costs, unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts, gains or losses from the disposal of mineral properties, plant and equipment, and deferred taxes.
