Coeur Mining reports Q1 adjusted EPS 36c, consensus 36c

Reports Q1 revenue $856M, two estimates $783.89M. “Coeur delivered a strong start to what is expected to be a record year, with every mine in the portfolio contributing to record first quarter results,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Adjusted EBITDA reached a new quarterly record and free cash flow remained robust, leading to a quarter-end cash balance of over $840 million – nearly an eleven-fold year-over-year increase. Our recently updated financial policy is designed to maintain flexible liquidity levels while also returning capital to stockholders through prudent share repurchases and the initiation of a sustainable dividend policy. Our results were especially impressive given the quarter was our softest of the year as expected, with several first quarter-specific outflows totaling over $200 million, and only eleven days of contribution from New Afton and Rainy River following the close of the New Gold transaction on March 20th.”
