Endeavour Silver (EXK) Q3 Earnings & Revenues Miss Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Endeavour Silver Corporation (EXK - Free Report) reported a loss per share of four cents for third-quarter 2023, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of two cents per share. Lower production at the Guanacevi mine and a stronger Mexican Peso impacted earnings in the quarter. Elevated costs associated with additional operating development, maintenance and repairs at Guanacevi also led to the loss. EXK had reported a loss per share of two cents in the third quarter of 2022.
Endeavour Silver’s revenues surged 25% year over year to $49.5 million but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $60 million. The year-over-year improvement in revenues was mainly due to higher silver sales during the quarter.
EXK sold 1.37 million ounces of silver in the quarter (up 3% year over year) and 8,760 ounces of gold (down 1% year over year).
Endeavour Silver Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The average realized silver price was $23.99 per ounce in the quarter, up 25% year over year. The average realized gold price increased 16% year over year to $1,948 per ounce in the quarter.
Total production in the third quarter of 2023 was 1.88 million silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 1.15 million ounces of silver and 9,089 ounces of gold. Compared with the prior-year quarter, production was down 14%.
Endeavour Silver reported the lowest quarterly production in over two years mainly due to lower output at Guanacevi. This was as a result of mine sequencing changes, which were initiated to improve access and ventilation, and led to a significant reduction in ore grades.
Operational Update
Endeavour Silver recorded cash costs per silver ounce of $17.94, up 74% from the year-ago quarter. Consolidated all-in sustaining costs of $29.64 per silver equivalent ounce marked a 46% surge from the year-ago quarter.
Costs were significantly impacted by lower production at the Guanacevi mine and increased operating development resulting from mine sequencing changes required to focus on improved access and ventilation as well as plant maintenance required during the last week of September. Cost inflation and a strengthened Mexican Peso also led to higher costs.
EXK reported a mine-operating profit of $ 2.7 million in the quarter under review compared with $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. EBITDA was $8.8 million, indicating an 11% improvement from $7.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
Financial Position
Endeavour Silver ended the third quarter of 2023 with $41 million cash in hand, down from $83 million held at the end of 2022. Cash generated from operating activities was around $5.1 million in the first nine-month period of 2023 compared with $10.6 million in the prior-year comparable period.
