![Teck Reports Unaudited First Quarter Results for 2022](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
VANCOUVER, April 27, 2022 - Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ("Teck") today announced its unaudited first quarter results for 2022.
"We had an exceptional start to 2022 with continued high commodity prices driving record-setting financial results across our business. Our intention to repurchase a further US$500 million in Class B subordinate voting shares demonstrates both our confidence in the outlook for our business and our commitment to balance growth with shareholder returns," said Don Lindsay, President and CEO. "This is a transformational year for Teck as we drive towards first copper at our QB2 project in the later part of the year, advance our copper growth strategy and further strengthen our existing high-quality assets through our RACE technology transformation program and sustainability strategy."
Highlights
- Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders1 was a quarterly record $1.6 billion or $3.02 per share in Q1 2022 and more than four times higher than the same period last year.
- Profit attributable to shareholders was a quarterly record at $1.6 billion or $2.93 per share in Q1 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was a quarterly record at $3.0 billion in Q1 2022 and more than three times higher than the same period last year. Profit before tax was a record $2.5 billion in Q1 2022.
- We generated cash flows from operations of $2.3 billion in Q1 2022, redeemed US$150 million of our maturing 4.75% term notes and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $2.5 billion. Our liquidity is $8.0 billion as at April 26, 2022.
- We returned $337 million to shareholders through dividends in Q1 2022 and in April we completed $100 million in Class B subordinate voting share buybacks.
- We announced that we intend to repurchase a further US$500 million in Class B subordinate voting shares and will continue to regularly consider additional buybacks in the context of market conditions at the time.
- At QB2, we now have more than 12,000 workers on site, the highest to date, evidencing the recovery from the impacts of the Omicron virus early in the quarter when absenteeism exceeded 20% at times. Steady progress has allowed us to surpass 82% complete, we expect first copper in Q4 this year, and our capital cost guidance remains unchanged. Notably, QB2 has been named by Bechtel as their construction project of the year.
- Our copper business unit gross profit increased 23% from a year ago, supported by an average realized copper price of US$4.51 per pound and copper sales volumes of 69,300 tonnes.
- Our zinc business unit gross profit increased 98% from a year ago, supported by an average realized zinc price of US$1.65 per pound and quarterly zinc in concentrate sales volumes of 168,700 tonnes.
- Realized steelmaking coal prices of US$357 per tonne drove a $1.6 billion gross profit increase in our steelmaking coal business unit.
- While our underlying key mining drivers remain relatively stable, like others in the industry, we continue to face inflationary cost pressures. Inflationary pressures have increased our operating costs by 13% compared to the same period last year, of which approximately half relates to an increase in diesel costs.

Safety and sustainability leadership
- Our High Potential Injury Frequency remained low at a rate of 0.14 in the first quarter.
- We were named to the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index in recognition of a high level of disclosure and performance in gender equality.
- We expanded our climate action strategy to include a new short-term goal to achieve net-zero Scope 2 (purchased electricity) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2025 and an ambition to achieve net- zero Scope 3 (value chain) emissions by 2050, building on our existing commitment to achieve net-zero emissions across operations by 2050.
- Our Highland Valley Copper operation was the first Canadian mine site to be awarded the Copper Mark verification for its responsible mining practices.
Guidance
- There has been no change in our previously issued annual guidance, outlined in summary below, except for our annual steelmaking coal unit cost, bitumen unit costs, and steelmaking coal capitalized stripping guidance. Our usual guidance tables, including three-year production guidance, can be found on pages 28 - 32 of Teck's full first quarter results for 2022 at the link below.
- Like others in the industry, we continue to face inflationary cost pressures, which have increased our operating costs by 13% compared to the same period last year, approximately half of which relates to diesel costs at our operations and in our transportation costs. Diesel prices have increased by 52% compared to the same period last year. The increases in the cost of certain key supplies, including mining equipment, fuel, tires and explosives, are being driven largely by price increases for underlying commodities such as steel, crude oil and natural gas. While our underlying key mining drivers remain relatively stable, inflationary pressures on diesel prices and other key input costs, as well as profit-based compensation and royalties continue to put upward pressure on our unit cost and capitalized stripping guidance through 2022.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS
Our financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This document refers to a number of non-GAAP Financial Measures and non-GAAP ratios which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States.
The non-GAAP Financial Measures and non-GAAP Ratios described below do not have standardized meanings under IFRS, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders - For adjusted profit attributable to shareholders, we adjust profit attributable to shareholders as reported to remove the after-tax effect of certain types of transactions that reflect measurement changes on our balance sheet or are not indicative of our normal operating activities.
EBITDA - EBITDA is profit before net finance expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit attributable to shareholders as described above.
Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that disclosing these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity to fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization - Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization expense added back. We believe this measure assists us and readers to assess our ability to generate cash flow from our business units or operations.
Adjusted site cash cost of sales - Adjusted site cash cost of sales for our steelmaking coal operations is defined as the cost of the product as it leaves the mine excluding depreciation and amortization charges, out-bound transportation costs and any one-time collective agreement charges and inventory write-down provisions.
Total cash unit costs - Total cash unit costs for our copper and zinc operations includes adjusted cash costs of sales, as described below, plus the smelter and refining charges added back in determining adjusted revenue. This presentation allows a comparison of total cash unit costs, including smelter charges, to the underlying price of copper or zinc in order to assess the margin for the mine on a per unit basis.
Net cash unit costs - Net cash unit costs of principal product, after deducting co-product and by-product margins, are also a common industry measure. By deducting the co- and by-product margin per unit of the principal product, the margin for the mine on a per unit basis may be presented in a single metric for comparison to other operations.
Adjusted cash cost of sales - Adjusted cash cost of sales for our copper and zinc operations is defined as the cost of the product delivered to the port of shipment, excluding depreciation and amortization charges, any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions and by-product cost of sales. It is common practice in the industry to exclude depreciation and amortization as these costs are non-cash and discounted cash flow valuation models used in the industry substitute expectations of future capital spending for these amounts.
Adjusted operating costs - Adjusted operating costs for our energy business unit is defined as the costs of product as it leaves the mine, excluding depreciation and amortization charges, cost of diluent for blending to transport our bitumen by pipeline, cost of non-proprietary product purchased and transportation costs of our product and non-proprietary product and any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions.
Adjusted basic earnings per share - Adjusted basic earnings per share is adjusted profit divided by average number of shares outstanding in the period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share - Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted profit divided by average number of fully diluted shares in a period.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to as forward-looking statements). These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "should", "believe" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this news release.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning: our focus and strategy; QB2 project cost guidance; expectation that QB2 will be a long-life, low-cost operation with major expansion potential; timing of first copper at QB2; all annual and quarterly guidance; our ability to manage challenges presented by COVID-19, including the effectiveness of our management protocols implemented to protect the health and safety of our employees; expectations regarding QBME, including timing of first production and impact on throughput; timing of first production at San Nicol?s; expectations of limiting downside risk of annual steelmaking coal production; expectations that annual steelmaking coal sales will not be impacted by lower than expected first quarter production, and the expectation of higher production rates in the second half of the year; expectation of higher production rates for steelmaking coal in the second half of the year; all cost, expenditure, production and sales guidance; of completion and expansion of our Fording River North SRF Phase II expansion and resulting capacity; 2022 guidance on water-related spending; expected Elk Valley water treatment spending and operating costs and plans, as well as treatment capacity expectations and timing; expected cost of implementing incremental measures required under the October 2020 Direction issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada; expected Fort Hills production and adjusted operating costs; anticipated global and regional supply, demand and market outlook for our commodities; the potential impact of the COVID-19 on our business and operations, including our ability to continue operations at our sites and progress our projects and strategy; respectively; liquidity and availability of borrowings under our credit facilities; our expectations regarding our effective tax rate; expectations that up to US$500 million, or any, Class B subordinate voting shares will be repurchased; and all guidance appearing in this document including but not limited to the production, sales, cost, unit cost, capital expenditure, cost reduction and other guidance under the heading "Guidance" and discussed in the various business unit sections.
These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions, interest rates, commodity and power prices, acts of foreign or domestic governments and the outcome of legal proceedings, the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of, prices of copper, coal, zinc and blended bitumen and our other metals and minerals, as well as oil, natural gas and other petroleum products; the timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for our development projects and other operations, including mine extensions; positive results from the studies on our expansion and development projects; our ability to secure adequate transportation, including rail, pipeline and port services, for our products; our costs of production and our production and productivity levels, as well as those of our competitors; continuing availability of water and power resources for our operations; changes in credit market conditions and conditions in financial markets generally, the availability of funding to refinance our borrowings as they become due or to finance our development projects on reasonable terms; our ability to procure equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; the availability of qualified employees and contractors for our operations, including our new developments and our ability to attract and retain skilled employees; the satisfactory negotiation of collective agreements with unionized employees; the impact of changes in Canadian-U.S. dollar and other foreign exchange rates on our costs and results; engineering and construction timetables and capital costs for our development and expansion projects; the benefits of technology for our operations and development projects, including the impact of our RACE21™ technology transformation programs; costs of closure, and environmental compliance costs generally; market competition; the accuracy of our mineral reserve and resource estimates (including with respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these are based; tax benefits and tax rates; the outcome of our coal price and volume negotiations with customers; the outcome of our copper, zinc and lead concentrate treatment and refining charge negotiations with customers; the resolution of environmental and other proceedings or disputes; our ability to obtain, comply with and renew permits in a timely manner; and our ongoing relations with our employees and with our business and joint venture partners. Our Guidance tables include footnotes with further assumptions relating to our guidance and assumptions for certain other forward-looking statements accompany the statements in the document.
In addition, assumptions regarding the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan include assumptions that additional treatment will be effective at scale, and that the technology and facilities operate as expected, as well as additional assumptions discussed under the heading "Elk Valley Water Management Update." Assumptions regarding QB2 include current project assumptions and assumptions regarding the final feasibility study, CLP/USD exchange rate of 775, as well as there being no unexpected material and negative impact to the various contractors, suppliers and subcontractors for the QB2 project relating to COVID-19 or otherwise that would impair their ability to provide goods and services as anticipated during the suspension period or ramp-up of construction activities. Statements regarding the availability of our credit facilities are based on assumptions that we will be able to satisfy the conditions for borrowing at the time of a borrowing request and that the facilities are not otherwise terminated or accelerated due to an event of default. Statements concerning future production costs or volumes are based on numerous assumptions regarding operating matters and on assumptions that counterparties perform their contractual obligations, that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and supplies, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, adverse weather conditions, and that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies and may be further impacted by reduced demand for oil and low oil prices. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances could cause actual results to vary materially.
Factors that may cause actual results to vary materially include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity and power prices, changes in market demand for our products, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, acts of governments and the outcome of legal proceedings, inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources), unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of materials and equipment, government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, adverse weather conditions and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), union labour disputes, impact of COVID-19 mitigation protocols, political risk, social unrest, failure of customers or counterparties (including logistics suppliers) to perform their contractual obligations, changes in our credit ratings, unanticipated increases in costs to construct our development projects, difficulty in obtaining permits, inability to address concerns regarding permits of environmental impact assessments, and changes or further deterioration in general economic conditions. Certain operations and projects are not controlled by us; schedules and costs may be adjusted by our partners, and timing of spending and operation of the operation or project is not in our control. Current and new technologies relating to our Elk Valley water treatment efforts may not perform as anticipated, and ongoing monitoring may reveal unexpected environmental conditions requiring additional remedial measures. QB2 costs, construction progress and timing of first production is dependent on, among other matters, our continued ability to successfully manage through the impacts of COVID-19. QB2 costs may also be affected by claims and other proceedings that might be brought against us relating to costs and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Red Dog production may also be impacted by water levels at site. Unit costs in our copper business unit are impacted by higher profitability at Antamina, which can cause higher workers' participation and royalty expenses. The Russian war in Ukraine has contributed to increased oil and gas prices, and further sanctions, or the extended duration of current sanctions may cause further increases or have other consequences that could impact our forward-looking statements. Share repurchases may be impacted by availability of funds, or alternative uses for funds, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The forward-looking statements in this news release and actual results will also be impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and related matters. The overall effects of COVID-19 related matters on our business and operations and projects will depend on how the ability of our sites to maintain normal operations, and on the duration of impacts on our suppliers, customers and markets for our products, all of which are unknown at this time. Continuing operating activities is highly dependent on the progression of the pandemic and the success of measures taken to prevent transmission, which will influence when health and government authorities remove various restrictions on business activities.
We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required under securities laws. Further information concerning risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements and our business can be found in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed under our profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) under cover of Form 40-F, as well as subsequent filings that can also be found under our profile.
