Key Highlights

Solid production and cost performance in line with 2026 guidance – Operating strength across the portfolio led to first quarter production of 96,503 ounces of gold and 4.4 million ounces of silver, representing year-over-year increases of 11% and 18%, respectively. Full-year 2026 production remains on-track to reach 680,000 - 815,000 ounces of gold, 18.7 - 21.9 million ounces of silver, and 50 - 65 million pounds of copper Record financial results – First quarter free cash flow totaled $267 million despite several first-quarter specific outflows totaling over $200 million. Quarterly adjusted EBITDA 1 increased 12% versus the prior quarter and nearly quadrupled year-over-year to a record $475 million, driving the last-twelve-month total to nearly $1.4 billion. Average realized prices for gold and silver increased 15% and 53%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter Strong financial position and growing liquidity resulting in updated financial policy – Cash and cash equivalents of $843 million represented an increase of 52% compared to the prior quarter and a near eleven-fold increase compared to the prior-year period. On March 23, 2026, Coeur announced an expanded $750 million share repurchase program and the establishment of an inaugural dividend policy of $0.02 per share of Coeur common stock paid semiannually, with the first dividend expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2026. The Company also entered into a new $1 billion revolving credit facility during the first quarter New Gold transaction completed; integration efforts advancing on schedule – During the eleven days of the first quarter following completion of the New Gold transaction on March 20, 2026, New Afton and Rainy River contributed production of 14,145 ounces of gold, 22,989 ounces of silver and 1.4 million pounds of copper. Ongoing organizational integration initiatives are progressing according to plan New Afton’s K-Zone maiden resource adds to Coeur’s pipeline of attractive growth projects – On March 23, 2026, Coeur filed updated technical reports for New Afton and Rainy River, which included an initial resource at New Afton’s K-Zone totaling 47.6 million tonnes of measured and indicated mineral resources, containing an estimated 715,000 ounces of gold, 2.9 million ounces of silver and 606 million pounds of copper. Inferred mineral resources totaled 5.9 million tonnes containing 86,000 ounces of gold, 309,000 ounces of silver, and 77 million pounds of copper Updated Rainy River technical report highlights mine life expansion – New life of mine plan reflects strong production and cash flow profile including a two-year mine life extension to 2035

“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 20 th .

“Starting with the second quarter, Coeur is equipped to deliver on the full potential of our enhanced platform, built through a combination of investments in exploration and expansions and two well-timed M&A transactions. With our well-balanced platform of seven operations, Coeur remains exceptionally well positioned as the sector’s only senior all-North America precious metals company and top-five global silver producer.”

Financial Results

First quarter 2026 revenue totaled $856 million compared to $675 million in the prior period and $360 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company produced 96,503 and 4.4 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales for the quarter totaled 108,420 ounces of gold and 4.4 million ounces of silver. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $4,383 and $82.85 per ounce, respectively, compared to $3,818 and $54.30 per ounce in the prior period and $2,635 and $32.05 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025.

Gold and silver sales represented 56% and 42% of quarterly revenue, while copper represented 2% of revenue for the quarter.

Adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce 1 of gold and silver totaled $2,032 and $20.01, respectively. Adjusted CAS 1 per gold ounce includes the non-cash impact of the $74.8 million related to purchase price allocation ascribed to inventory, which added $689 per ounce to the gold CAS 1 . General and administrative expenses increased 43% quarter over quarter to $22 million, driven by higher stock-based compensation, annual incentive payouts, and audit fees paid in the first quarter.

Coeur invested approximately $32 million ($26 million expensed and $6 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter, compared to approximately $25 million ($19 million expensed and $7 million capitalized) in the prior period. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $102 million during the first quarter. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $132 million. Cash taxes paid in the quarter primarily reflect income and mining tax payments in Mexico.

Quarterly operating cash flow decreased to $341 million from $375 million in the prior period, primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales and lower metal sales volumes, partially offset by higher realized metal prices. Changes in working capital during the quarter were $104 million, reflecting tax payments in Mexico, semi-annual interest payments on the Company’s 2029 5.125% Senior Notes and New Gold’s 2032 6.875% Senior Notes, as well as New Gold transaction-related and annual incentive compensation payments.

First quarter capital expenditures were $74 million compared to $61 million in the prior period. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately $63 million and $11 million, or 85% and 15%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital investment during the quarter.

Operational

Quarterly production and costs reflect approximately eleven days of the first quarter, following the closing of the New Gold transaction on March 20, 2026 Throughput is expected to ramp up to 15,000 tonnes per day from the C-Zone during the first half of 2026 C-Zone cave construction was finalized with drawbell blasting completed

Financial

Copper, gold, and silver accounted for approximately 50%, 49%, and 1%, respectively, of revenue during the quarter First quarter adjusted CAS 1 for copper and gold on a by-product basis totaled $5.36 and $4,488 per pound and ounce, respectively. CAS 1 per copper pound and gold ounce includes the non-cash impact of the $20.5 million of purchase price allocation ascribed to inventory, which added $3.10 per pound to the copper CAS 1 and $2,560 per ounce to the gold CAS 1 Free cash flow 1 in the first quarter totaled $25 million

Exploration

Exploration investment in the first quarter totaled approximately $0.3 million (substantially all expensed) Key exploration goals for 2026 include infill drilling of inferred resources in the K-Zone resource cave shape and expansion of the overall measured, indicated and inferred resources in the K-Zone During the quarter, up to five underground drill rigs were active, with drilling aimed at upgrading the 5.9 million tonnes of inferred resources in the K-Zone into measured and indicated, in support of the feasibility study expected to commence in the second half of the year. Results received to date are encouraging with mineralization grades and widths meeting expectations Scout and expansion drilling during the quarter was focused on lateral extension of the K-Zone in the southeast and west. Drilling occurred to the west of the K-Zone, back toward D-Zone, intersected high grades and widths over an additional 150 meters of strike length, with similar results over an additional 125 meters to the southeast. These results continue to indicate significant upside potential at the K-Zone 2026 drilling further to the east is expected to commence early in the second quarter from an underground exploration drift
