![Endeavour Silver Reports Third Quarter, 2018 Financial Results; Conference Call at 10am PT (1pm ET) Today](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
VANCOUVER, Oct. 31, 2018 - Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) released today its financial results for the Third Quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company operates three silver-gold mines in Mexico, the Guanaceví mine in Durango state, and the Bolañitos and El Cubo mines in Guanajuato state. Endeavour is currently commissioning its fourth mine, El Compas, in Zacatecas state and advancing the Terronera mine project in Jalisco state to a development decision.
The Company reports a net loss of $5.5 million in the Third Quarter, 2018 compared to $1.0 million earnings in the Third Quarter, 2017, primarily due to higher depreciation and depletion charges. Revenue decreased 6% to $37.6 million and mine operating cash flow before taxes(1) decreased 20% to $9.6 million due to lower realized metal prices and higher costs, offset by higher silver production.
Cash flow from operations before working capital changes increased 21% to $6.9 million and EBITDA fell 8% to $5.6 million compared to the same period last year. Cash costs rose 9% to $8.86 per oz silver payable (net of gold credits) and all-in sustaining costs fell 8% to $16.14 per oz silver payable (net of gold credits) as capital expenditures fell compared to Third Quarter, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash costs and all-in sustaining costs decreased 5% and 15% respectively to $7.68 and $15.87 per oz silver payable (net of gold credits) compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Bradford Cooke, Endeavour CEO, commented, “Our financial performance in Q3, 2018 was impacted by lower metal prices and higher depreciation and depletion charges, primarily at Guanacevi where production lagged behind plan. However, El Cubo production continued its strong performance during the quarter and Bolanitos gold grades are now improving after a slight drop in Q3, 2018.
“We completed a large part of our 2018 exploration and development spending during the third quarter and in late August launched a company-wide initiative to reduce exploration, capital, operating and G&A costs. Looking ahead to Q4, 2018, management anticipates improved operating and financial performance due to higher throughput and grades at Guanaceví, stronger gold grades at Bolanitos and initial commercial production from El Compas. We should also begin to realize the full benefit of the short-term cost reduction program in Q4, 2018.”
Financial Results
Revenue in the Third Quarter, 2018 totaled $37.6 million (2017 - $39.8 million) on sales of 1,532,097 silver ounces and 13,025 gold ounces at realized prices of $14.42 and $1,189 per ounce respectively, compared to sales of 1,275,922 silver ounces and 13,759 gold ounces at realized prices of $17.20 and $1,299 per ounce respectively in Q3, 2017.
After cost of sales of $42.4 million (2017 - $32.5 million), mine operating earnings amounted to a loss of $4.8 million (2017 – earnings of $7.3 million) from mining and milling operations in Mexico. The 30% increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased depreciation and depletion. Excluding depreciation and depletion of $13.1 million (2017 - $4.4 million), and an inventory write down of $1.3 million (2017 - $0.2 million), mine operating cash flow before taxes was $9.6 million (2017 – $11.9 million) in Q3, 2018.
Net loss amounts to $5.5 million (2017 – earnings of $1.0 million) after exploration, general and administrative expenses, foreign exchange and tax recovery.
Direct production costs per tonne in Q3, 2018 increased 2% compared with 2017. The higher production costs per tonne were driven mainly by lower Guanaceví mine output due to mine development falling behind schedule in 2017, the costs related to implement a productivity optimization program and higher labour and contractor costs.
Higher direct costs at Guanaceví and lower gold grades processed at Bolanitos resulted in higher consolidated cash costs, net of gold by-product credits (a non-IFRS measure), rising to $8.86 per ounce. Lower costs per ounce at El Cubo due to higher grades partially offset the higher cost per ounce at Guanacevi and Bolanitos. All-in sustaining costs (also a non-IFRS measure) compared to 2017 decreased to $16.14 per oz in Q3, 2018. This decrease in all‑in sustaining costs is attributable to the lower operating costs and the lower capital expenditures in 2018 compared to 2017, partially offset by higher general and administration charges at the corporate level.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, direct production costs were $84.00 per tonne compared to the guided range of $80-$85 per tonne. The lower than planned throughput at Guanacevi was partially offset by the cost performance of the El Cubo operation.
Consolidated cash costs, net of gold by-product credits, were guided to be $6.00-$7.00 per oz of silver in 2018 and consolidated cash costs expressed on a co-product basis were guided to be $10.00-$11.00 per oz silver and $750-$800 per oz gold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash costs, net of gold by-product credits, were $7.68 per oz and cash costs expressed on a co-product basis were $11.00 per oz silver and $877 per gold oz. The lower than planned production resulted in higher than guided costs per ounce. In Q4, 2018, cash costs are expected to be lower than the cash costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC), net of gold by-product credits, in accordance with the World Gold Council standard, were guided to be $15.00-$16.00 per oz of silver produced in 2018 reflecting new investments in sustaining exploration and development programs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 AISC, net of gold by-product credits, is $15.87 as the Company spent less on sustaining capital expenditures than guided. The lower capital expenditures were offset by higher operating costs on a per ounce basis. In Q4, 2018, AISC are expected to be lower than the AISC for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Management assumed a $17 per oz silver price, $1,275 per oz gold price, and 19:1 Mexican peso per US dollar exchange rate for its 2018 cost guidance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, silver production totalled 4,135,563 oz and gold production totalled 39,850 oz, resulting in silver equivalent production of 7.1 million oz. Based on the Company’s performance, year to date, management estimates a 5% shortfall to the 2018 consolidated production guidance, due to the delayed commercial production at El Compas, lower gold grades at Bolañitos and lower mine output at Guanaceví. This anticipated production shortfall and lower gold credit will likely also impact the Company’s ability to meet its 2018 cost guidance.
