Strong production and low unit costs
Attributable silver production of 6.4 million ounces and attributable gold production of 169,000 ounces in Q1 2026, in line with outlook. Silver-segment all-in sustaining costs (AISC) were $6.63/oz (noted as well below guidance) and gold-segment AISC was $1,851/oz (consistent with expectations).
Robust financial results and cash generation
Revenue of ~$1.2 billion; net earnings of $456 million (EPS $1.08) and adjusted earnings of $1.09 per share. Generated $488 million of attributable free cash flow in Q1 and finished the quarter with a record cash and short-term investment balance of over $1.8 billion (including cash attributable to the company's interest in joint assets).
Enhanced shareholder return framework
Board introduced a new framework targeting the return of 35%–40% of annual attributable free cash flow to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases (up to $1.0 billion total). Planed 2026 aggregate dividends ~ $305 million (implying quarterly dividend ~$0.18 per common share) and ~ $700 million earmarked for share repurchases.
La Colorada skarn project de-risked and advanced
Revised PEA for La Colorada skarn shows substantive improvements (higher grades, lower capital intensity and lower technical risk). Projected average peak production ~19.1 million ounces of silver annually for the 5-year peak period. Board approved initial project capital of $265 million over next 5 years; expected La Colorada 2026 spend raised to $92–95 million; updated study reduced upfront CapEx by roughly ~$1 billion and redesigned to a smaller higher‑grade starter using conventional long‑haul open stope mining.
Progress on other growth and optimization initiatives
Jacobina optimization progressed (two new carbonate pulp tanks commissioned, tailings pump system improvements; conceptual engineering near completion). Timmins/Bell Creek shaft extension approved (~$131 million) to extend operation into the 2040s. Development plans include ~12.4 km of decline development for La Colorada over 5 years and decline dimensions sized for 50‑ton trucks.
Maintained full‑year outlook and disciplined capital allocation
Despite Q1 outcomes and project approvals, company is maintaining full‑year guidance for production, AISC and sustaining capital while emphasizing disciplined capital allocation, continued M&A optionality and resilience across commodity cycles.
