Eldorado Gold Reports Q3 2022 Financial and Operational Results
VANCOUVER, Oct. 27, 2022 - Eldorado Gold Corp. ("Eldorado" or "the Company") today reports the Company's financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2022. For further information, please see the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the Company's profile.Third Quarter 2022 Summary
Operations
- Gold production: 118,791 ounces, a 5% increase from Q2 2022, demonstrating improvements across the portfolio.
- Gold sales: 118,388 ounces at an average realized gold price per ounce sold1 of $1,688.
- Production costs: $123.5 million.
- Cash operating costs1: $803 per ounce sold. Higher costs during the quarter were primarily driven by increases in the price of certain commodities and consumables, including electricity at operations in Greece and Turkiye, and fuel and reagents at Kisladag. Price increases were partly offset by the weakening of local currencies in which costs are incurred, particularly the Turkish Lira and Euro.
- All-in sustaining costs ("AISC")1: $1,259 per ounce sold, driven by higher cash operating costs per ounce sold and sustaining capital expenditures.
- Total capital expenditures: $74.0 million, including $32.8 million of sustaining capital1, primarily focused on underground development and construction and expansion of the tailings management facility at Lamaque. Growth capital1 of $24.2 million focused on waste stripping at Kisladag and continued construction work of the North leach pad. $11.8 million of capital expenditures spent at Skouries include expenditures related to progressing building enclosures, other construction, and execution readiness.
Financial
- Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits: $306.4 million, as at September 30, 2022. Cash balance decreased during the quarter as a result of a $16 million bond interest payment and a $20 million investment in the G Mining Ventures Corp. equity financing.
- Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital1: $55.0 million.
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")1: $42.8 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA1: $73.5 million.
- Net loss: $50.5 million, or a loss of $0.27 per share.
- Adjusted net loss1: $8.0 million or $0.04 loss per share. Adjusted net loss removed an $18.4 million loss on foreign exchange due to translation of deferred tax balances and a $29.3 million impairment of the Certej project.
- Free cash flow1: Negative $25.9 million, primarily due to lower average realized gold price, mine standby costs and continued investment in growth capital at Kisladag and Skouries.
Other
- Skouries: On September 7, 2022, Eldorado announced the signing of a Mandate Letter with Greek banks for a credit committee approved €680 million project finance facility for the development of the Skouries project, which represents 80% of the total funding requirement. The Mandate Letter includes a long-form term sheet, which contains customary terms and conditions, including with respect to due diligence, and remains subject to negotiation of definitive binding loan documentation and to other approvals and conditions, including board approval. Since the signing of the Mandate Letter, Eldorado has been working diligently with Greek banks to advance loan documentation. A final decision to re-start construction and to approve definitive loan documentation remains subject to Board approval, which we expect to seek before the end of 2022.
"During the third quarter, our global operations performed well, as our consolidated production continues to track within our annual guidance," said George Burns, Eldorado's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Turkiye, quarterly production increased considerably at Kisladag as the team continued to optimize on-belt agglomeration. Additionally, there was an increase in tonnes placed on the pad during the third quarter, which supports a strong finish to the year for production," continued Burns. "At Efemcukuru, the team continued to do an exceptional job, delivering yet another quarter on plan. At Lamaque, production decreased quarter over quarter due to lower throughput, however mine sequencing plans are expected to deliver strong fourth quarter results."
"We are, like others, continuing to face inflationary pressures, especially in electricity in Greece and Turkiye, and fuel and reagents at Kisladag. Additionally, we are actively managing costs associated with the VAT import charge on the Olympias gold concentrate shipments into China and shipments to alternative markets started in mid-2022 and continue to be explored," said Burns.

Total revenue was $217.7 million in Q3 2022, a decrease of 9% from $238.4 million in Q3 2021 and an increase of 2% from $213.4 million in Q2 2022. Total revenue was $625.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease from $696.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decreases in both three and nine-month periods were primarily due to lower sales volumes, and decreases in the three-month period were also due to the 5% decrease in average realized gold price.
Production costs increased to $123.5 million in Q3 2022 from $110.2 million in Q3 2021 and to $337.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $331.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Increases in both periods were primarily due to substantial price increases for certain commodities and consumables as a result of supply concerns caused by financial and trade sanctions against Russia, and ongoing supply chain challenges due to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"). Cost increases primarily impacted electricity at operations in Greece and Turkiye, and fuel and reagents at Kisladag.
Cash operating costs averaged $803 per ounce sold in Q3 2022, an increase from $646 in Q3 2021, and cash operating costs per ounce sold averaged $807 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase from $644 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Increases in both three and nine-month periods were primarily due to lower production at Kisladag and price increases for certain commodities and consumables. Cash operating costs per ounce sold at Efemcukuru in Q3 2021 also benefited from the structure of concentrate sales contracts which resulted in lower selling costs in that quarter.
AISC per ounce sold averaged $1,259 in Q3 2022, an increase from $1,133 in Q3 2021, and AISC per ounce sold averaged $1,289 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase from $1,066 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Increases in both three and nine-month periods primarily reflect the increases in cash operating costs per ounce sold, and increases in the nine-month period were also due to higher sustaining capital expenditures.
We reported net loss attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $50.5 million ($0.27 loss per share) in Q3 2022 compared to net earnings of $8.5 million ($0.05 per share) in Q3 2021 and net loss of $390.0 million ($2.13 loss per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net earnings of $53.9 million ($0.30 per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the impairment of the Certej project, a non-core gold asset, the write-down of decommissioned equipment at Kisladag, lower sales volumes, higher mine standby costs and higher income tax expense.
Adjusted net loss was $8.0 million ($0.04 loss per share) in Q3 2022 compared to adjusted net earnings of $39.9 million ($0.22 per share) in Q3 2021. Adjusted net loss in Q3 2022 removed an $18.4 million loss on foreign exchange due to translation of deferred tax balances and a $29.3 million impairment of the Certej project.

Kisladag
Kisladag produced 37,741 ounces of gold in Q3 2022, a 35% increase from 27,973 ounces produced in Q2 2022. Production in the quarter benefited from increased tonnes placed on the heap leach pad in Q2 2022, following reduced productivity in early 2022 as a result of snowfall and prolonged freezing temperatures. However, gold production in the quarter decreased 26% from 51,040 ounces in Q3 2021 as tonnes placed on the heap leach pad during 2022 remain below 2021 levels due to continued debottlenecking of the belt agglomeration circuit, reducing stacking capacity. On-belt agglomeration continues to perform as expected and the HPGR is performing to plan with recovery rates as expected. Average grade of 0.72 grams per tonne in Q3 2022 increased slightly from 0.71 grams per tonne in Q3 2021 and decreased from 0.76 grams per tonne in Q2 2022.
Revenue decreased to $65.7 million in Q3 2022 from $92.5 million in Q3 2021, reflecting lower sales in the quarter, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average realized gold price.
Production costs decreased to $32.7 million in Q3 2022 from $38.9 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to a reduction in consumables used in line with lower production and efficiencies from the HPGR circuit, and weakening of the Turkish Lira. These savings were partly offset by price increases in labour, reagents, electricity, and fuel. Lower production resulted in an increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold to $752 in Q3 2022 from $612 in Q3 2021.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $993 in Q3 2022 from $916 in Q3 2021 primarily due to the increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold and was partly offset by a reduction in sustaining capital expenditure.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $4.8 million in Q3 2022 and $11.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily included equipment rebuilds and processing improvements. Growth capital expenditures of $17.6 million and $61.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included waste stripping to support the mine life extension and construction of the first phase of the North heap leach pad.
In conjunction with the North heap leach pad, we are investing in additional higher-capacity mobile conveyors which are expected to enhance materials handling capabilities in the belt agglomeration circuit and increase throughput. Installation is expected to be complete in late 2022. We are also installing an agglomeration drum, expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2023, which is expected to improve the quality, consistency and permeability of the agglomeration process. With these investments, stacking is expected to continue on the existing heap leach pad until mid-2023, at which time stacking is expected to commence on the North heap leach pad.
Lamaque
Lamaque produced 42,454 ounces of gold in Q3 2022, an increase of 14% from 37,369 ounces in Q3 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher average grade and partly offset by lower throughput. Tonnes processed were reduced by COVID-19 related absenteeism in July and early August before returning to normal levels. Average grade increased to 7.28 grams per tonne in Q3 2022 from 5.99 grams per tonne in Q3 2021 and from 6.63 grams per tonne in Q2 2022. Underground development of high-grade stopes progressed well during the quarter.
Revenue increased to $73.1 million in Q3 2022 from $66.8 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to higher production in the quarter and partly offset by a lower average realized gold price.
Production costs increased to $28.8 million in Q3 2022 from $25.3 million in Q3 2021, primarily due to higher production in the quarter. Cash operating costs per ounce sold rose slightly to $650 in Q3 2022 from $646 in Q3 2021 as cost increases for consumables were mostly offset by higher production and cost savings from a weaker Canadian dollar.
AISC per ounce sold decreased to $1,106 in Q3 2022 from $1,130 in Q3 2021 primarily due to higher gold production in the quarter and reduced sustaining exploration expenditure. These reductions were partly offset by an increase in sustaining capital expenditure.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $18.2 million in Q3 2022 and $44.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily included underground development and expansion of the tailings management facility. Growth capital expenditures of $1.5 million in Q3 2022 and $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily related to construction of underground infrastructure.
Efemcukuru
Efemcukuru produced 22,473 payable ounces of gold in Q3 2022, a 4% decrease from 23,305 payable ounces in Q3 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a planned decrease in grade to 5.74 grams per tonne in Q3 2022 from 6.44 grams per tonne in Q3 2021, and was partly offset by higher throughput in the quarter.
Revenue decreased to $34.3 million in Q3 2022 from $41.9 million in Q3 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a lower average realized gold price during Q3 2022 as a result of downward revaluations of provisional pricing in the quarter in line with movements in the gold price.
Production costs increased to $17.7 million in Q3 2022 from $16.6 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to increased tonnes processed, combined with cost increases in electricity, and consumables. The increase in production costs, combined with slightly lower production in the quarter, resulted in an increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold to $709 in Q3 2022 from $552 in Q3 2021. Cash operating costs per ounce sold in Q3 2021 also benefited from the structure of concentrate sales contracts which resulted in lower selling costs in that quarter.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,039 in Q3 2022 from $911 in Q3 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold and was partly offset by lower sustaining capital expenditure.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $4.1 million in Q3 2022 and $13.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily underground development and equipment rebuilds. Growth capital expenditures of $4.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included resource conversion drilling at Kokarpinar.
Olympias
Olympias produced 16,123 ounces of gold in Q3 2022, a 17% increase from 13,745 ounces in Q3 2021 and primarily reflected higher average gold grade. Lead and silver production also increased in Q3 2022 as compared to Q3 2021 as a result of higher average grades while zinc production decreased due to lower average grade and recovery rates. Transformation initiatives are on-going as the mine continues to ramp up productivity.
Revenue increased to $44.6 million in Q3 2022 from $35.4 million in Q3 2021 primarily as a result of higher zinc sales volumes in the quarter due to timing of concentrate shipments. Revenue was also impacted during the quarter by the 13% VAT import charge levied on customers importing Olympias gold concentrate into China. This import charge, effective since October 1, 2021, reduces revenue by a corresponding amount. China was the primary destination of Olympias gold concentrate in 2022 as planned shipments to Russia were halted earlier in the year as a result of sanctions imposed on Russia due to the Russia-Ukraine war. However, shipments to alternative markets commenced in mid-2022 and continue to be explored. Revenue from gold concentrate sales increased slightly in the quarter in line with higher production and revenue from lead-silver concentrate sales decreased in the quarter due to timing of bulk shipments.
Production costs increased to $44.3 million in Q3 2022 from $27.3 million in Q3 2021 reflecting increased volumes of gold and zinc concentrate sold, combined with price increases in electricity, fuel, and other consumables. Cash operating costs per ounce sold increased to $1,466 in Q3 2022 from $952 in Q3 2021, primarily a result of certain production cost increases and the 13% VAT import charge which is included in cash operating costs. These increases were partly offset by higher gold grade and higher revenue from silver and base metal sales, which reduce cash operating costs as by-product credits. Electricity prices in the quarter rose 29% from Q2 2022 levels in line with escalating market prices, despite continued subsidies that lower the effective average price.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $2,070 in Q3 2022 from $1,728 in Q3 2021 primarily due to the increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold and was partly offset by a decrease in sustaining capital expenditure.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $5.7 million in Q3 2022 and $19.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily included underground development and expansion of tailings facilities. Growth capital expenditures of $1.2 million in Q3 2022 and $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily related to underground development.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions about; our ability to enter into definitive documentation for the Term Facility on the terms set forth in the non-binding term sheet, on acceptable terms or at all, and to satisfy the conditions precedent to closing and advances thereunder (including eligibility for, and the allocation of funding from the European Union Recovery and Resilience Fund, satisfaction of remaining customary due diligence and other conditions and approvals); the assumption that board approval for a Skouries financing package and re-start of construction will be obtained; our ability to meet our timing objectives for definitive documentation and first drawdown of funds; our ability to execute our plans relating to the Skouries project as set out in the feasibility study, including the timing thereof; ability to obtain all required approvals and permits; the assumptions provided for in the feasibility study will be accurate, including cost estimates; no changes in input costs, exchange rates, development and gold; the geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal climate that we operate in, including at the Skouries project; timely satisfaction of the conditions precedent to closing the sale of the Certej project; our preliminary gold production and our guidance, benefits of the completion of the decline at Lamaque, the improvements at Kisladag and the optimization of Greek operations; tax expenses in Turkiye; how the world-wide economic and social impact of COVID-19 is managed and the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic; timing, cost and results of our construction and exploration; the geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal climate that we operate in; the future price of gold and other commodities; the global concentrate market; exchange rates; anticipated values, costs, expenses and working capital requirements; production and metallurgical recoveries; mineral reserves and resources; and the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, suspensions or delays on our business and the ability to achieve our goals. In addition, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this release.
Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.
Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others the following: increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any, for the Skouries project; ability to enter into definitive documentation for the Term Facility on acceptable terms or at all; ability to satisfy the conditions precedent to closing and advances thereunder (including eligibility for, and the allocation of funding from the European Union Recovery and Resilience Fund, satisfaction of remaining customary due diligence and other conditions and approvals); failure or delays to receive necessary approvals or otherwise satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Term Facility; the proceeds of the Skouries financing not being available to the Company; ability to execute on plans relating to the Skouries project, including the timing thereof, ability to achieve the social impacts and benefits contemplated; inability to meet production guidance; inability to achieve the expected benefits of the completion of the decline at Lamaque, the improvements at Kisladag and the optimization of Greek operations; inability to assess income tax expenses in Turkiye; risks relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any future pandemic, epidemic, endemic or similar public health threats; risks relating to our operations being located in foreign jurisdictions; community relations and social license; climate change; liquidity and financing risks; development risks; indebtedness, including current and future operating restrictions, implications of a change of control, ability to meet debt service obligations, the implications of defaulting on obligations and change in credit ratings; environmental matters; waste disposal; the global economic environment; government regulation; reliance on a limited number of smelters and off-takers; commodity price risk; mineral tenure; permits; risks relating to environmental sustainability and governance practices and performance; non-governmental organizations; corruption, bribery and sanctions; litigation and contracts; information technology systems; estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; production and processing estimates; credit risk; actions of activist shareholders; price volatility, volume fluctuations and dilution risk in respect of our shares; reliance on infrastructure, commodities and consumables; currency risk; inflation risk; interest rate risk; tax matters; dividends; financial reporting, including relating to the carrying value of our assets and changes in reporting standards; labour, including relating to employee/union relations, employee misconduct, key personnel, skilled workforce, expatriates and contractors; reclamation and long-term obligations; regulated substances; necessary equipment; co-ownership of our properties; acquisitions, including integration risks, and dispositions; the unavailability of insurance; conflicts of interest; compliance with privacy legislation; reputational issues; competition, as well as those risk factors discussed in the sections titled "Forward-looking information and risks" and "Risk factors in our business" in our most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F. The reader is directed to carefully review the detailed risk discussion in our most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F filed on SEDAR and EDGAR under our Company name, which discussion is incorporated by reference in this release, for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect our business and operations.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements and information is designed to help you understand management's current views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in the Company's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States.
