Forward-Looking Information

 

This MD&A contains “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” (collectively, “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. All information contained in this MD&A, other than statements of current and historical fact, is forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, “guidance”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “strategy”, “target”, “intends”, “objective”, “goal”, “understands”, “anticipates” and “believes” (and variations of these or similar words) and statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” “occur” or “be achieved” or “will be taken” (and variations of these or similar expressions). All of the forward-looking information in this MD&A is qualified by this cautionary note.

 

Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, production, cost and capital and exploration expenditure guidance, anticipated production at our mines and processing facilities, anticipated production from our projects and events that may affect our operations and development projects, including a strike action that has been commenced by one union at our Manitoba operations, the anticipated effect of external factors on revenue, such as commodity prices, the potential to refurbish the recently acquired New Britannia mill and utilize it to process ore from our Lalor mine, the anticipated exploration and development expenditures and activities and the possible success of such activities at Lalor and elsewhere, estimation of mineral reserves and resources, mine life projections, reclamation costs, economic outlook, government regulation of mining operations, business and acquisition strategies, and the anticipated closing of our amended credit facility. Forward-looking information is not, and cannot be, a guarantee of future results or events.

Should one or more risk, uncertainty, contingency or other factor materialize or should any factor or assumption prove incorrect, actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this MD&A or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law.

Note to United States Investors

 

This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. issuers.

 

Information concerning our mineral properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in material respects from the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Industry Guide 7. Under the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time of the reserve determination, and the SEC does not recognize the reporting of mineral deposits which do not meet the SEC Industry Guide 7 definition of “Reserve”. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize them. You are cautioned that, except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be economically or legally mined. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, that it can be economically or legally mined, or that it will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Likewise, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be upgraded into mineral reserves.

 

Presentation of Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

 

We use realized prices as a non-IFRS financial performance measure in our MD&A. For a detailed description, please see the discussion under “Financial Review” beginning on page 13 of our MD&A. In addition, we use operating cash flow per share and cash cost per pound of copper produced as non-IFRS financial performance measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-IFRS financial performance measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures” beginning on page 28 of our MD&A.

 

Qualified Person

 

The technical and scientific information in this MD&A related to the Constancia project has been approved by Cashel Meagher, P. Geo, our Vice President, South America Business Unit. The technical and scientific information related to all other sites and projects contained in this MD&A has been approved by Robert Carter, P. Eng, our Director, Technical Services. Messrs. Meagher and Carter are qualified persons pursuant to NI 43-101. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates of scientific and technical information may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors, please see the Technical Reports for our material properties as filed by us on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

OUR BUSINESS

 

We are an integrated mining company producing copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver) and zinc metal. With assets in North and South America, we are focused on the discovery, production and marketing of base and precious metals. Through our subsidiaries, we own four polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators and a zinc production facility in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Cusco (Peru) and a copper project in Arizona (United States). We also have equity investments in a number of junior exploration companies. Our growth strategy is focused on the exploration and development of properties we already control, as well as other mineral assets we may acquire that fit our strategic criteria. Our vision is to become a top-tier operator of long-life, low cost mines in the Americas. Our mission is to create sustainable value through increased commodity exposure on a per-share basis, in high quality and growing long-life deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions. We are governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and our shares are listed under the symbol “HBM” on the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores de Lima. We also have warrants listed under the symbol “HBM.WT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and “HBM/WS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

SUMMARY

 

In the second quarter of 2015, operating cash flow before stream deposit and change in non-cash working capital increased to $20.7 million from $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2014.

 

The net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2015 were $55.2 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to net income and income per share of $0.3 million and nil, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014. Net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2015 were affected by, among other things, the following items:

Cash flow from operations was positively impacted by increased revenue as a result of significant increases in production of all metals as our Constancia mine achieved commercial production at the end of April 2015. Copper, gold, silver and zinc production increased by 270%, 37%, 301% and 9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, cash costs per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, declined by 37% to US$1.29. Our business benefited from slightly higher production volumes in Manitoba, weaker local currencies, lower energy and other input costs and the achievement of commercial production from the large-scale Constancia mine during the second quarter.

 

While improved when compared to the prior year, cash flow from operations and net earnings were negatively impacted by unsold copper, gold, and silver during the quarter. At quarter end, we had approximately 73,100 tonnes of unsold copper concentrate containing 19,200 tonnes of copper, 30,300 ounces of gold and 579,300 ounces of silver. Shipments from the Constancia mine to the port in Matarani were constrained during May and June by several factors including truck availability, protests along the lower part of the trucking route, unrelated to Constancia, and road refurbishment activities along the route that increased cycle times for concentrate trucks. Steps have been taken to increase the size of the trucking fleet, and the excess inventory is expected to be drawn down over the second half of 2015. Also, cash flow from operations was negatively affected by a $10.5 million increase in cash taxes, when compared to the prior year’s quarter, as gross profit, before depreciation and the non-cash pension expense, increased by 68% to $63.4 million.

 

In addition to the pension expense resulting from pension enhancements agreed to as part of the Manitoba collective bargaining process and the Lalor concentrator impairment charge, net earnings were also negatively affected by higher depreciation resulting from commercial production at Constancia and Lalor and higher interest expense as we are no longer capitalizing interest related to the Constancia project.

 

The Constancia mine commenced production in December 2014, and achieved commercial production on April 30, 2015. Ocean shipments began in April 2015, and the mine and concentrator are currently processing ore at or above design capacity. We expect to achieve full year 2015 production and operating cost guidance for all of our operations.

 

As at June 30, 2015, we had total pro-forma available and committed liquidity of approximately $436.6 million, including $143.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and availability under our committed credit facilities. This does not include over $100 million in cash flow from the sale of excess copper concentrate inventory and value added tax refunds from the Peruvian government expected in the second half of 2015. We expect that our current liquidity and expected cash flows will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for 2015.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

Acquisition of New Britannia Mine and Mill

 

On May 4, 2015, we closed a transaction to acquire a 100% interest in the New Britannia mine and mill, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba. While there are presently no plans to bring the New Britannia mine back into production, based on our initial review, we believe the New Britannia mill (the “NBM Mill”), if refurbished, has the potential to process approximately 2,000 tonnes per day of gold zone ore from the Lalor mine.

 

The NBM Mill historically operated as a two-stage crushing and grinding carbon-in-pulp circuit, producing gold doré on site, and is currently on care and maintenance. The expected refurbishment of the NBM Mill would increase total processing capacity in the Snow Lake area and, based on our initial review, is expected to have a relatively low capital cost compared to the cost of a new concentrator. Historical gold recoveries at the NBM Mill on New Britannia ore have been in the 90% range compared to approximately 60% recoveries that are typical of a base metal concentrator. The NBM Mill has tailings capacity that is permitted, and the historical tailings are a potential source of feed for a new paste backfill plant at Lalor.

 

As a result of the acquisition of the NBM Mill, we no longer plan to construct a new concentrator at Lalor. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized an impairment loss of $24.6 million related to our Lalor concentrator assets in Snow Lake, Manitoba.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

We have received commitments from our current lenders to increase the size of our corporate revolving credit facility from US$300 million to US$400 million. The upsized credit facility will be on substantially similar terms to our existing revolving credit facility and will be repayable in March 2018. We expect to complete definitive documentation for the credit facility amendments during the third quarter of 2015.

 

Collective Bargaining Agreements

 

The collective agreements with each of the seven labour unions representing employees at our Manitoba business unit expired on December 31, 2014. The members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local No. 1848 have been on strike since May 2, 2015. The other six unions, representing approximately 88% of our employees in Manitoba, have ratified new three year agreements that provide enhancements to wage rates, pensions and benefits. Operations are continuing at our Manitoba operations under a comprehensive contingency plan.

For the second quarter of 2015, ore processed was 3% higher compared to the same period of 2014 primarily as a result of increased production at Lalor partially offset by lower production at our 777 mine. Compared to the second quarter of 2014, zinc and gold grades were 7% and 11% higher, and copper and silver grades were 7% and 17% lower as a result of normal mine sequencing. Recoveries of zinc and gold in the second quarter of 2015 were consistent with the same period of 2014, and recoveries of copper and silver in the second quarter of 2015 were 4% and 13% higher compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of higher copper ore grades received by the Flin Flon concentrator. Combined operating costs per tonne of ore processed in the second quarter of 2015 were 25% higher, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to increased production at our Snow Lake operations which have higher unit costs, as well as increased unit costs at our Flin Flon operations resulting from decreased production at the 777 mine.

 

Year-to-date ore processed was 9% higher than the same period in 2014 as a result of increased production from Lalor and Reed. Year-to-date copper, zinc and gold grades were 5%, 4% and 6% higher, respectively, and  silver grades were 15% lower compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of normal mine sequencing. Year-to-date recoveries of copper, zinc and gold were consistent with the same period of 2014. Recoveries of silver were 14% higher compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of result of higher copper ore grades received by the Flin Flon concentrator. Combined operating costs per tonne of ore processed year-to-date in 2015 were 17% higher, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the same factors that affected second quarter production and costs.

 

Metal production and combined operating costs per tonne in Manitoba are expected to be within guidance ranges for 2015.

Limitations on rail service resulted in a continued build up of copper concentrate inventory. However, additional leased rail cars are expected to enter service during the third quarter which is expected to draw down Manitoba inventory levels.

 

Lalor Copper-Gold Zone Exploration Results

 

The Phase 1 copper-gold zone drill program at Lalor included a total of 14 holes (totalling approximately 4,500 metres) drilled from the 1,025 metre level; assay results from seven holes were released with our first quarter results in May. Assay results from the remaining seven holes are shown in the table on the following page and were similar to those from previous holes, confirming a high grade thick core down the middle of the main zone with decreasing grade and thickness towards the contacts, as well as separate hanging wall and footwall mineralization.

 

The Phase 2 exploration ramp extension to the north, which will allow testing of the copper-gold zones down plunge, and step out drilling to the east and west, is progressing well and is expected to be complete by the end of August. Drilling from the Phase 2 exploration ramp is anticipated to commence in September 2015 with approximately 8,500 metres of drilling planned. The Phase 2 portion of the ramp development continues to maintain a drift size capable of accommodating future mine equipment and related infrastructure for mining the copper-gold zones.

1     The quality assurance and quality control measures and the sampling, analytical and testing procedures that were applied and utilized during the execution of the exploration work at Lalor were substantially similar to those discussed in the Technical Report for Lalor that was previously filed on SEDAR, titled Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report, on the Lalor Deposit, Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada, effective as of March 29, 2012.  There are no drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the preliminary results.

2     Due to varying angles of the drill holes and almost flat-lying nature of the copper-gold zone, true width is approximately 50% to 100% of core length.

1     Ore mined for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflects the correction of a reconciliation error affecting previously reported production for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

2     For precious metals production and guidance, silver is converted to gold at a ratio of 60:1.

3     Reflects combined mine and mill costs per tonne of ore milled. Peru operations combined mine and mill unit costs include G&A costs and reflect the deduction of expected deferred stripping costs.

4     Combined operating costs and cash costs, net of by-product credits, exclude costs and tonnes associated with pre-commercial production output.

5     Copper cash costs, net of by-product credits are not recognized under IFRS. For more detail on this non-IFRS financial performance measure, please see the discussion under “Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures” beginning on page 28 of our MD&A. These cost statistics reflect May and June results subsequent to the declaration of commercial production on May 1, 2015, while production volumes include production before and after the declaration of commercial production.

 

Mining operations continue to progress as planned and cost optimization is underway. Equipment availabilities are within design parameters and both loading and hauling efficiencies are consistent with expectations. 

 

Optimization of plant performance was a primary focus in the later part of the second quarter of 2015 in response to normal ramp up challenges regarding ore blending and recoveries. Coordination among the mine planning, mine operations and plant operations groups has resulted in progress, and recoveries are now in line with our expectations. Daily ore throughput continues to meet ramp-up milestones. Since the end of the second quarter, daily ore throughput has averaged approximately 80,000 tonnes and copper recoveries have averaged approximately 75%.

 

During the second quarter, shipments of copper concentrate from the Constancia mine to the port in Matarani were constrained by several factors including truck availability, protests along the lower part of the trucking route, unrelated to Constancia, and road refurbishment activities along the route that increased cycle times for concentrate trucks.

 

12



 

 

Steps have been taken to increase the size of the trucking fleet, and the excess inventory is expected to be drawn down over the second half of 2015.

 

Commissioning of the molybdenum flotation circuit commenced late in the second quarter of 2015, and ramp up of production is planned during the third quarter.

 

Metal production and combined operating costs per tonne at Constancia are expected to be within guidance ranges for 2015.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Financial Results

 

In the second quarter of 2015, we recorded a loss of $55.2 million compared to a profit of $0.3 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $55.5 million.

 

Year-to-date 2015, we recorded a loss of $78.9 million compared to a loss of $27.0 million in the same period in 2014, an increased loss of $51.9 million.

For the second quarter of 2015, we increased our gross profit before depreciation by $25.6 million, after excluding from mine operating costs a $21.1 million one-time adjustment for pension past service cost related to new collective bargaining agreements in Manitoba. This increase to gross profit is mainly the result of higher sales volumes resulting from increased production at our Lalor and Reed mines and the achievement of commercial production at Constancia, which resulted in sales revenues being recorded in the second quarter, after pre-commercial production concentrate was sold. Depreciation for the second quarter of 2015 was $13.4 million higher compared to the same period in 2014. This relates primarily to depreciation being recorded at Constancia following the achievement of commercial production effective May 1, 2015 as well as increased depreciation at Lalor following commissioning of the main

production shaft in 2014.  Tax and other costs were higher in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of a non-cash impairment loss of $24.6 million related to our Lalor concentrator assets in Snow Lake, Manitoba as well as higher interest expense as interest related to our long-term debt is no longer being capitalized to the Constancia project effective May 1, 2015.

 

Year-to-date, after excluding the pension past service costs, we increased our gross profit before depreciation by $48.4 million.  This is mainly the result of higher sales volumes resulting from increased production at Reed, Lalor, and Constancia.  Offsetting this was higher interest and depreciation expense as well as the non-cash impairment loss related to our Lalor concentrator assets.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $185.8 million, $46.5 million higher than the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes with the completion of the Constancia mine and favourable movements in the foreign exchange rate partially offset by lower copper prices, gold sales volumes and higher treatment and refining charges.

 

Year-to-date revenue was $346.4 million, $100.3 million higher than the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of the completion of the Constancia mine and favourable movements in the foreign exchange rate partially offset by lower copper prices.

Realized sales prices

 

This measure is intended to enable management and investors to understand the average realized price of metals sold to third parties in each reporting period. The average realized price per unit sold does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

3     Copper, zinc, gold and silver revenues include unrealized gains and losses related to non hedge derivative contracts including costless collars that are not included in the above realized prices.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the unrealized components of the zinc derivative resulted in a loss of US$0.01/lb.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the unrealized components of derivatives resulted in a loss of US$0.3/lb; loss of US$0.01/lb; loss of US$3.22/oz, and loss of US$0.22/oz, respectively.

4     Sales of gold and silver from our 777 and Constancia mines are subject to our precious metals stream agreement with Silver Wheaton, pursuant to which we recognize deferred revenue for precious metals deliveries and also receive cash payments of US$400/oz for gold deliveries and US$5.90/oz for silver deliveries. See page 18 for details of metals sold under these streaming agreements.

The price, quantity and mix of metals sold, along with movements in the Canadian dollar, affect our revenue, operating cash flow and profit. Revenue from metals sales can vary from quarter to quarter due to production levels, shipping volumes and transfer of risk and title to customers.

 

Metal Prices

 

Since the end of June 2015, copper and zinc prices have declined on concerns regarding Chinese economic activity. As at July 27, 2015, the LME spot copper and zinc prices were US$2.35/lb and US$0.88/lb. Although these declines are mitigated somewhat by depreciation in the Canadian dollar and Peruvian nuevo sol over the same period, continued weakness in copper and zinc prices could adversely impact our financial results and liquidity.

Total cost of sales for the second quarter of 2015 was $180.6 million, reflecting an increase of $55.4 million from the second quarter of 2014. Mine, concentrator and depreciation costs were all higher as a result of each of the Lalor production shaft and Constancia being in commercial production.  These costs were partially offset by lower costs of purchased zinc concentrate due to less purchased concentrate being required as a result of increased domestic production. Other charges related to Peru increased by $19.1 million as a result of Constancia being in commercial production. Other charges related to Manitoba increased by $31.5 million and related primarily to past service pension costs of $21.1 million associated with new collective bargaining agreements in Manitoba. Other charges in Manitoba were favourably impacted in the second quarter of 2014 by a $5.7 million adjustment related to zinc inventory.

 

Year-to-date cost of sales was $324.9 million, an increase of $103.0 million compared to the same period in 2014. Mine, concentrator and depreciation costs were all higher as a result of Lalor, Reed and Constancia being in commercial production.  These costs were partially offset by lower costs of purchased zinc concentrate and purchased ore from our Reed mine joint venture partner, which started after commercial production was achieved on March 31, 2014. Other charges increased by $19.1 million as a result of Constancia being in commercial production, increased distribution costs as a result of increased sales volumes, as well as approximately $21.1 million of past service pension costs associated with new collective bargaining agreements in Manitoba.

 

For details on unit operating costs refer to the respective tables in the Operations Review section beginning on page 8 of this MD&A.

 

For the second quarter of 2015, other significant variances in expenses, compared to the same period in 2014, include the following:

 

·             Asset impairment expenses were $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 as a result the decision not to proceed with construction of a new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the NBM Mill in May.

 

19



 

 

·             Finance expenses increased by $20.9 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year mostly as a result of the achievement of commercial production at Constancia effective May 1, 2015. This triggered the cessation of capitalization of interest costs associated with our senior unsecured notes resulting in the recognition of approximately $16.3 million of interest costs on the statements of income. In addition, there were higher other interest costs and amortization of finance fees which are a function of the expanded corporate senior secured revolving credit facility and the Constancia standby credit facility.

 

·             Other finance gains decreased by $8.3 million, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of:

 

·            Foreign exchange gains decreased by $5.7 million to $3.4 million compared to higher foreign exchange gains of $9.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The difference in gains on foreign exchange is a function of a higher degree of Canadian dollar strengthening versus the US dollar in the comparative period.

·            A fair value adjustment on the embedded derivative related to the senior unsecured notes resulted in a gain of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a larger gain of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2014.

·            Impairment, disposals and mark-to-market on available for sale investments and warrants was a loss of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2014.

 

For 2015 year-to-date, other significant variances in expenses from operations, compared to 2014, include the following:

 

·             Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $2.3 million. The decrease was mostly due to pre-acquisition costs of $5.9 million associated with our acquisition of Augusta that were incurred in the same period of the prior year. This was partially offset by an increase in general support costs and an increase of $1.4 million in share based payment expenses for restricted share units as a result of newly issued share compensation for 2015 and an increasing company stock price in the year-to-date period.

 

·             Asset impairment expenses were $24.6 million as a result of the decision not to proceed with construction of a new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the NBM Mill in May.

 

·             Loss on disposal of subsidiary of $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 is the result of the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary, Hudbay Michigan Inc.

 

·             Finance expenses increased by $22.9 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year and is primarily the result of the achievement of commercial production at Constancia effective May 1, 2015 and the recognition of approximately $16.3 million of interest costs as noted in the discussion of the second quarter variances above.

 

·             Other finance gains decreased by $8.8 million, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of:

 

·            Foreign exchange losses increased by $7.1 million to $6.6 million compared to foreign exchange gains of $0.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The losses on foreign exchange are a function of a weakening Canadian dollar versus the US dollar in the current period compared to minimal movement in the currencies in the comparative period.

·            Impairment, disposals and mark-to-market on available for sale investments was a loss of $3.6 million in first half of 2015 compared to losses of $1.1 million in the comparative period in 2014.

·            Mark-to-market on warrants resulted in a loss of $3.3 million in the first half of 2015.

·            The items above were partially offset by a fair value adjustment on the embedded derivative related to the senior unsecured notes resulting in a gain of $9.1 million in the first half of 2015 compared to a gain of $5.0 million in the first half of 2014.

Income Tax Expense

 

Our effective income tax rate on the loss before tax for 2015 year-to-date was approximately  1.0% (2014 year-to-date - negative 54.4%). Applying the estimated Manitoba statutory income tax rate of 27.0% to our loss before taxes of $70.2 million would have resulted in a tax recovery of approximately $18.9 million; however we recorded an income tax recovery of $0.7 million (2014 year-to-date expense - $9.4 million). The significant items causing our effective income tax rate to be different than the 27.0% estimated Manitoba statutory income tax rate include:

 

·             Certain deductible temporary differences with respect to Manitoba were not recognized related to decommissioning and restoration and other employee benefit liabilities as we have determined that it is not probable that we will realize the recovery, adjusted for the application of the average annual effective tax rate methodology, resulting in an increase in deferred tax expense of approximately $8 million;

·             Certain taxable temporary differences were determined probable to reverse within the timeframe of the 15 year tax stability agreement in Peru and will be subject to the higher applicable tax rates in Peru, resulting in an increase in deferred tax expense of $6.8 million;

·             Certain foreign exchange losses of $6.5 million (2014 year-to-date - $4.6 million) are not deductible for local income tax purposes and therefore result in an increase in deferred tax expense of approximately $1.8 million; and,

·             Increases to our decommissioning and restoration liabilities resulting from a significant decrease in discount rates required us to record a corresponding non-cash increase to property, plant, and equipment. We recognized a deferred tax expense of $1.1 million (2014 year-to-date — $3.7 million) related to the increase in property, plant and equipment; however, we did not recognize a deferred tax recovery related to the increase in the decommissioning and restoration liabilities because we determined it is not probable that we will realize the benefit of the recovery.

 

Mining Tax Expense

 

Applying the Manitoba statutory income tax rate of 10.0% to our loss before taxes for the year-to-date period of $70.2 million would have resulted in a tax recovery of approximately $7.0 million and we recorded a mining tax expense of $9.5 million (2014 year-to-date - $0.3 million). For the 2015 year-to-date period, our effective rate for mining taxes was approximately negative 13.5% (2014 year-to-date - negative 1.5%). Effective mining tax rates can vary significantly based on the composition of our earnings and the expected amount of mining taxable profits. Corporate costs and other costs not related to mining operations are not deductible in computing mining profits. A brief description on how mining taxes are calculated in our various business units is discussed below.

 

Manitoba

 

The Province of Manitoba imposes mining tax on profit related to the sale of mineral products mined in the Province of Manitoba (mining taxable profit) at the following rates:

 

·             10% of total mining taxable profit if mining profit is $50 million or less;

·             15% of total mining taxable profit if mining profits are between $55 million and $100 million; and

·             17% of total mining taxable profit if mining profits exceed $105 million.

 

We estimate that the tax rate that will be applicable when temporary differences reverse will be approximately 10.0%.

 

Peru

 

The Peruvian government imposes two parallel mining tax regimes, the Special Mining Tax and Modified Royalty, on companies’ operating mining income on a sliding scale, with progressive rates ranging from 2.0% to 8.4% and 1.0% to 12.0%, respectively. Based on financial forecasts, we have recorded a deferred tax liability as at June 30, 2015 at the tax rate we expect to apply when temporary differences reverse.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

 

On March 13, 2015, we completed an expansion of our corporate revolving credit facility from US$100 million to US$300 million. Subsequently we received commitments from our current lenders to increase the size of the facility from US$300 million to US$400 million.

 

The new US$400 million revolving credit facility will be on substantially similar terms to the existing credit facility it will replace. It is intended to provide us with additional liquidity as the Constancia project ramps up to full production and to support our growth initiatives. The new credit facility matures in March 2018. As at June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with our covenants under the facility.

 

At June 30, 2015, $69.9 million (or US$56.0 million at June 30, 2015 exchange rates) of letters of credit had been advanced under the credit facility to support our reclamation obligations in Manitoba. In total, US$167.9 million was owing under the facility at June 30, 2015.

 

Equipment Finance Facility

 

In October 2013, we entered into an equipment financing facility to finance the purchase of components of the mobile fleet at our Constancia project. Loans pursuant to the equipment financing facility have a term of six years, amortized on a quarterly basis, and are secured by the financed equipment. As at June 30, 2015, we had approximately US$77.5 million owing under the facility.

 

Constancia Standby Credit Facility

 

In June 2014, we entered into a US$150 million standby credit facility to provide financing for expenditures on the Constancia project, if required. Drawdowns under the facility are repayable in quarterly instalments beginning December 31, 2015 and ending September 30, 2018. The facility is secured by the assets of our Peru business unit.  As at June 30, 2015, we had US$147.0 million owing under the facility.

 

Financial Condition

 

Financial Condition as at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $64.0 million from December 31, 2014 to $143.3 million as at June 30, 2015. This decrease was mainly a result of $321.7 million of investments primarily at our Constancia project, the $14.2 million acquisition of the NBM Mill, interest payments of $58.8 million, deposits of restricted cash in Peru of $27.7 million, principal payments of $9.2 million related to our equipment financing facility and dividends paid of $2.3 million. These amounts were partly offset by net borrowings from various long term financing facilities of $325.9 million, proceeds from the issuance of shares to acquire the NBM Mill of $16.0 million and $3.4 million of value added tax refunds from the Peruvian government. We hold the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in low-risk, liquid investments with major Canadian and Peruvian financial institutions.

 

Working capital increased by $40.7 million to $141.8 million from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. In addition to the decreased cash and cash equivalents position:

 

·             Receivables increased by $59.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the current portion of the statutory receivable related to the Peruvian sales tax due to the timing of expected receipts;

·             Inventories increased by $89.7 million as a result of timing of concentrate shipments;

·             Trade and other payables decreased by $21.5 million primarily as a result of reduced development activities at Constancia and timing of interest payments on long-term debt;

·             Current portion of long-term debt increased by $56.0 million in relation to the Constancia standby credit facility; and

·             Current portion of deferred revenue increased by $9.1 million in relation to anticipated precious metals production.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

Operating cash flow before change in non cash working capital was $20.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, a $8.9 million increase compared with the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily as a result of the completion of the Constancia mine, which resulted in higher sales volumes.

 

Year-to-date operating cash flow before change in non cash working capital in 2015 was $44.7 million, reflecting an increase of $37.6 million compared to 2014, mainly as a result of the completion of the Constancia mine, higher copper sales volumes from the ramp up of both our Lalor and Reed mines and the favourable impact of a stronger US dollar on sales.

 

Cash Flow from Investing and Financing Activities

 

During the second quarter of 2015 our investing and financing activities generated cash of $6.2 million. The net inflow of cash is the result of net borrowings on various long term financing facilities of $166.2 million and proceeds from the issuance of equity, which were utilized to purchase the New Britannia asset of $16.0 million. This was partially offset by capital expenditures of $152.2 million and the acquisition of the NBM Mill for $14.2 million.

 

Year-to-date, we used $91.0 million in investing and financing activities primarily driven by capital expenditures of $317.0 million, the net amount paid for the acquisition of the NBM Mill for $14.2 million, and interest payments of $58.8 million. In addition, we reclassified $27.7 million from cash and cash equivalents to restricted cash as Hudbay Peru was required to provide a letter of credit as a second annual deposit of security with respect to its decommissioning and restoration obligations. These activities were partly offset by net borrowings of $325.9 million related to various long term financing facilities and proceeds of $16.0 million from the issuance of equity, which were utilized to purchase the New Britannia assets.

1     Peru capital expenditures include pre-production net revenues and are reported net of capital accruals.

 

Our capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $152.2 million, a decrease of $90.8 million compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease is primarily due to decreased expenditures at our Constancia project due to the completion of the Constancia mine during the second quarter of 2015. This was partially offset by Rosemont project costs and higher sustaining capital to support our Lalor and Reed mines.

 

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $133.4 million compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to decreased capitalized expenditures at our Constancia project due to completion of the Constancia mine.

Capital expenditures for the full year 2015 (not including pre-commercial production costs) are expected to be in line with guidance in their local currencies; however, as Peru and Arizona capital expenditures are primarily in US dollars, if the Canadian dollar-US dollar exchange rate remains higher than the 1.10 rate assumed for guidance purposes, actual spending in Canadian dollar terms will be higher.

 

Other Peru capitalized costs include capitalized interest as well as capitalized pre-commercial production operating costs, net of pre-commercial production sales receipts. Other Manitoba capitalized costs includes capitalized exploration and decommissioning and restoration adjustments.

 

Capital Commitments

 

As at June 30, 2015, we had outstanding capital commitments in Canada of approximately $29.9 million primarily related to committed mobile equipment purchases for Lalor and 777, none of which can be terminated by Hudbay, approximately $186.7 million in Peru related to sustaining capital costs, of which all can be terminated by Hudbay and approximately $328.4 million in Arizona, primarily related to the Rosemont project and expected to be paid after the commencement of Rosemont construction, of which approximately $192.1 million cannot be terminated by Hudbay.

 

Liquidity

 

At June 30, 2015, we had total pro-forma available and committed liquidity of approximately $436.6 million, including $143.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and availability under our committed credit facilities. In the second half of 2015, we expect to realize over $100 million in cash flow from the sale of excess copper concentrate inventory and value added tax refunds from the Peruvian government. We expect that our current liquidity and these expected cash flows will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for 2015.

 

To the extent that metals prices decline materially from current levels or we have other unanticipated demands on liquidity, we may need to raise additional financing or pursue other corporate initiatives.

 

Outstanding Share Data

 

As of July 28, 2015, there were 235,231,688 common shares of Hudbay issued and outstanding. In addition, Hudbay warrants to acquire an aggregate of 21,830,490 common shares of Hudbay were outstanding and Augusta warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,039,500 common shares of Hudbay and 561,000 warrants of Hudbay were outstanding; there were also options for an aggregate of 1,924,189 common shares outstanding.

With both the Lalor and Reed mines achieving commercial production in 2014, copper production volumes have increased compared to 2013 and the beginning of 2014. In addition, during the second quarter of 2015, Constancia achieved commercial production with associated net proceeds from sales related to pre-production being credited to property, plant and equipment. Constancia reported sales revenue from shipments in late June which resulted in an increase in sales compared to previous quarters. There were a number of non-cash accounting adjustments in the second quarter of 2015 including the negative impact to cost of sales of the $21.1 million charge related to pension enhancements which arose as a result of new collective agreements with six of the seven unions in Manitoba. In addition, during the second quarter of 2015, we recognized an impairment on our Lalor concentrator assets of $24.6 million as a result of the decision not to proceed with construction of a new concentrator at Lalor following from the acquisition of the NBM Mill in May 2015. Lastly, with the completion of the Constancia project we recorded $16.3 million of interest expense in our statements of income which would have previously been capitalized interest costs.

 

In the first quarter of 2015, sales revenue and operating cash flow per share increased primarily as a result of higher copper and zinc sales volumes offset partially by lower realized copper prices. The continuing strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar positively impacted revenues while negatively impacting net profit as a result of unrealized losses on the revaluation of net liability monetary items.

 

The fourth quarter of 2014 benefited from higher zinc metal production volumes and higher zinc realized prices causing zinc revenues to increase. The fourth quarter of 2014 also benefited from favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and favourable mark-to-market adjustments on certain financial instruments. However, this was offset by lower copper sales volumes due to the timing of shipments and lower realized copper prices causing a net decrease in revenues and pre-tax profit for the fourth quarter 2014.  Profit, after tax, was higher in the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of deferred tax recoveries of $78.3 million resulting from the recognition of previously unrecognized deductible temporary differences in both Peru and Manitoba.

 

The third quarter of 2014 benefited from increases in copper output and also from the one-time gain on disposition of previously owned shares in Augusta of $50.3 million. In addition, the first quarterly mark-to-market adjustment related to the Hudbay warrant consideration paid to Augusta shareholders and the Augusta warrants that we assumed in connection with the acquisition resulted in a gain of $22.0 million. However, these gains were offset by $12.0 million of costs in connection with the acquisition of Augusta during the third quarter of 2014. The volatile currency markets continued in the third quarter of 2014 resulting in a loss on foreign exchange of $10.5 million.

The second quarter of 2014 benefited from the aforementioned increase in copper output and also from foreign exchange gains of $9.1 million as a result of a stronger Canadian dollar against the US dollar, which favourably impacts translation of our unsecured notes. The loss in the first quarter of 2014 was related to a loss on disposal of Hudbay Michigan of $6.5 million and foreign exchange losses of $8.6 million incurred from the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar.

 

The loss in the fourth quarter of 2013 included foreign currency translation losses, an impairment charge on the Back Forty project and deferred tax expense associated with Peruvian items. The profits in the third quarter of 2013 was mainly a result of finance gains related to foreign exchange gains as well as a lower tax expense as a result of lower gross margin. The loss in the second quarter of 2013 was mainly the result of foreign exchange loss and deferred tax expense on the translation of Peruvian tax basis.

 

Operating cash flow per share was higher in the first and second quarters of 2015 and the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2014, as a result of higher revenues derived mostly from higher zinc, gold and silver realized prices and sustained production volumes. In general, over the past eight quarters, revenues have varied as a result of volatile commodity prices and the timing of shipments.

 

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

 

Operating cash flow per share and cash cost per pound of copper produced are included in this MD&A because we believe that, in the case of operating cash flow per share, it helps investors and management to evaluate changes in cash flow while taking into account changes in shares outstanding, and in the case of cash cost per pound of copper produced, it helps investors assess the performance of our operations. These measures do not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Reconciliation of Cash Cost, After By-product Credits (non-IFRS) to Cost of Sales (IFRS)

 

Cash cost per pound of copper produced (“cash cost”) is a non-IFRS measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of our operations. Our calculation designates copper as our primary metal of production as it has been, and is expected to be, the largest component of revenues. Two changes have been made to the cash cost calculation beginning with the period ended June 30, 2015.  First, the basis of measurement has been changed from pounds of copper sold to pounds of copper produced.  This change has been made to better align the costs of production in the same period as the copper produced and reduce variation in cash cost due to inventory sales timing.  Second, royalties have been removed from the cash cost.  This change increases consistency between our cash cost calculation and industry peers.  The calculation is presented in two manners:

 

·             Cash cost, before by-product credits - This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only pounds of copper produced, our primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by-product metals. It is, however, significantly affected by the relative mix of copper concentrate and finished zinc production, and an increase in production of zinc metal will tend to result in an increase in cash costs under this measure.

 

·             Cash cost, net of by-product credits - In order to calculate the cost to produce and sell copper, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than copper. The by-product revenues from zinc, gold, silver, and molybdenum are significant and are integral to the economics of our Company. The economics that support our decision to produce and sell copper would be different if our Company did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum copper price consistent with positive operating cash flows and operating margins, assuming realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure our operating performance versus that of our competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside copper prices, the cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher copper price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

 

The tables below present a detailed build-up of cash cost by business unit in addition to reconciliations between cash cost, after by-product credits to the most comparable GAAP measures of cost of sales for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Cash costs, net of by-product credits per pound of copper produced may not calculate based on amounts presented in the tables below due to rounding.

In Manitoba cash cost net of by-product credits in the second quarter of 2015 was US$1.39/lb a decrease of US$0.65/lb, compared to the same period of 2014.  The decrease is largely the result of less reliance on purchased zinc concentrates, increased zinc by-product credits, and the effect of foreign exchange on Canadian dollar denominated costs in the quarter. Purchased zinc concentrate requirements decreased significantly as a result of higher production at Lalor following completion of the production shaft in the third quarter of 2014.  Zinc plant production and sales volume levels in the current quarter were 9% and 5% higher respectively versus the comparative quarter as a result of greater availability of zinc concentrates and its positive effect on plant utilization.  Zinc by-product credits were also favourably impacted by a 5% increase in realized zinc price in the current quarter.  The Canadian dollar weakened 13% relative to the US dollar versus the comparative quarter, partially offsetting a 29% increase in mining and milling costs in Canadian dollar terms.

 

Year-to-date cash cost net of by-product credits in Manitoba was US$1.42/lb, compared to US$2.32/lb in 2014.  Similar to the current quarter variance, the year-to-date variance is largely the result of reduced purchased zinc concentrate usage, higher zinc by-product credits, and the effect of foreign exchange on Canadian dollar denominated costs in the quarter.

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

1.                   Reporting entity

 

HudBay Minerals Inc. (“HMI” or the “Company”) was amalgamated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 15, 2011. The address of the Company’s principal executive office is 25 York Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 represent the financial position and the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Hudbay” and individually as “Group entities”).

 

Significant subsidiaries, as at June 30, 2015, include Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (“HBMS”), Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (“HBED”), HudBay Marketing & Sales Inc. (“HMS”), HudBay Peru Inc., HudBay Peru S.A.C. (“Hudbay Peru”), HudBay (BVI) Inc., HudBay Arizona Corporation (formerly Augusta Resource Corporation, “Augusta” or “Hudbay Arizona”) and Rosemont Copper Company (“Rosemont”).

 

Hudbay is an integrated mining company producing copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver) and zinc metal. With assets in North and South America, the Group is focused on the discovery, production and marketing of base and precious metals. Through its subsidiaries, Hudbay owns four polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators and a zinc production facility in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Cusco (Peru) and a copper project in Arizona (United States). The Group also has equity investments in a number of junior exploration companies. The Company is governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and its shares are listed under the symbol “HBM” on the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores de Lima. Hudbay also has warrants listed under the symbol “HBM.WT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and “HBM/WS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

Management does not consider the impact of seasonality on operations to be significant on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

2.                   Basis of preparation

 

(a)  Statement of compliance:

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Board of Directors approved these condensed consolidated interim financial statements on July 29, 2015.

 

(b)  Functional and presentation currency:

 

The Group’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and all material subsidiaries’ functional currency, except for Hudbay Peru, HudBay (BVI) Inc. and the Hudbay Arizona entities, which have a functional currency of US dollars. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000) except where otherwise indicated.

 

(c)  Use of judgement:

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group to make judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in applying accounting policies that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect the judgements outlined by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

(d)  Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect the estimates outlined by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

3.                   Significant accounting policies

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect the accounting policies applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and comparative periods.

 

4.                   New standards not yet adopted

 

·                      IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9 (2009)”) — this standard replaces the guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, on the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2009) retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on an entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow of the financial asset. Gains and losses on remeasurement of financial assets measured at fair value will be recognized in profit or loss, except that for an investment in an equity instrument which is not held-for-trading, IFRS 9 (2009) provides, on initial recognition, an irrevocable election to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The election is available on an individual share-by-share basis. Amounts presented in OCI will not be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. The new standard also requires use of a single impairment method, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39, and amends some of the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 9 (2010) added guidance to IFRS 9 (2009) on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and this guidance is consistent with the guidance in IAS 39, except for changes related to financial liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option and derivative liabilities that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument. The IASB has decided to require an entity to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group has not yet determined the effect of adoption of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

·                      IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - in May 2014, the IASB issued this standard which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRS 15 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (i.e. service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 15 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2017, and may consider earlier adoption. The IASB has affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of this standard to January 1, 2018, although the Accounting Standards Board has yet to approve this change within Canada. The Group has not yet determined the effect of adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

·                      Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38, Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”) - on May 12, 2014, the IASB issued amendments to clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of a tangible asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of a tangible asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The IASB has also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption for an intangible asset, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. The standard is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of applying the amendments, however does not anticipate that there will be any impact on its current method of calculating depreciation or amortization.

 

5.                   Acquisitions

 

(a)         Acquisition of New Britannia Mine and Mill

 

On May 4, 2015 the Group closed a transaction to acquire a 100% interest in the New Britannia mine and mill, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba, for US$12,300 in cash consideration, plus a contingent payment of US$5,000. In connection with the New Britannia acquisition, the Group entered into a private placement agreement with a Canadian bank to sell 1,357,000 Hudbay common shares for net proceeds of $15,700.

 

In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, this transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination as the assets acquired are not an integrated set of activities with inputs, processes and outputs.

 

The purchase price of $17,507 was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the total consideration at the closing date of the acquisition. All financial assets acquired and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at their relative fair values. In addition, an option liability was recorded for the fair value amount of $1,409 in connection with the contingent consideration since it is an integral component of the consideration paid and represents a financial instrument. The fair values were allocated to the net assets on a relative fair value basis and the option liability was valued using the Black-Scholes model.

(b)         Acquisition of Augusta Resource Corporation

 

On July 16, 2014, the Group obtained control of Hudbay Arizona (formerly named Augusta Resource Corporation), a Canadian company whose primary asset is the Rosemont copper project near Tucson, Arizona.

 

Hudbay obtained control of Augusta by acquiring Augusta common shares to increase the Group’s equity interest in Augusta from approximately 16% to 92%. On July 29, 2014 and September 23, 2014, Hudbay acquired the remaining outstanding common shares and now wholly owns Augusta. Acquiring control of Augusta allows the Group an opportunity to develop the Rosemont project and significantly increase Hudbay’s future copper production.

 

Consideration transferred:

 

The following summarizes the acquisition date fair value of the major classes of consideration transferred:

 

Equity instruments (36,613,464 common shares)

The fair value of the common shares issued was based on Hudbay’s listed share price of $10.76 at the July 16, 2014 acquisition date. The fair value of the warrants issued was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing calculation of $2.13. The fair value of the shares previously owned by the Group was based on Augusta’s listed share price of $3.66 at the July 16, 2014 acquisition date.

 

The Group took up the remaining 3,837,190 shares at a fair value of $40,679 based on Hudbay’s listed share prices of $11.62 and $9.68 on July 29, 2014 and September 23, 2014, respectively. The Group issued 2,070,849 warrant instruments with a fair value of $3,398 based on Hudbay’s listed warrant prices of $2.25 and $1.09 on July 29, 2014 and September 23, 2014, respectively.

Immediately prior to the acquisition, Augusta settled its outstanding in the money stock options, restricted units and convertible notes through the issuance of Augusta shares and settled its out of the money options in cash under the terms of the acquisition.

 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

The Group has completed the purchase price allocation, resulting in recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

$

3,261

 

Receivables and other current assets

 

1,486

 

Long-term receivable and other assets

 

9,896

 

Mineral properties

(125,918

)

Deferred tax liabilities

 

(167,898

)

Total net identifiable assets acquired

 

$

442,862

 

 

The fair values of the mineral properties have been calculated using significant judgements. In particular, the fair values of mineral properties, and other property and plant and equipment have been determined based on an independent valuation.

 

The fair value of the acquired receivables was valued at $10,011. Based on the valuation performed at the acquisition date, management expected all contractual cash flows to be collectible. The long-term receivable relates to the amounts collectible from the joint venture partner.

 

The Group recognized goodwill as a result of the acquisition as follows:

 

Total consideration transferred

 

$

436,034

 

Fair value of previous interest in acquiree

 

84,391

 

Non-controlling interest of measured based on proportionate share

 

45,500

 

Less: value of net identifiable asset acquired

 

(442,862

)

Goodwill upon acquisition on July 16, 2014

 

$

123,063

 

 

The goodwill balance arose from the requirement to record deferred income tax liabilities measured at the tax effect of the difference between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax bases. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. As a result of foreign exchange translation, the goodwill balance increased to $142,800 as at June 30, 2015 as a result of movements in foreign currency on translation.

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group recognized impairment losses on investments in listed shares and transferred pre-tax losses of $1,958 and $3,608 respectively, from the available-for-sale reserve within equity to the income statements (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - $329 and $1,123, respectively).

 

(f)                Impairment

 

As a result of the acquisition of the New Britannia Mill (note 5a), Hudbay no longer expects to construct a new concentrator at Lalor. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Group recognized an impairment loss of $24,627 related to its Lalor concentrator assets in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The impairment was determined based on the difference between carrying value and fair value less costs of disposal. On the condensed consolidated interim income statements, the impairment loss is presented in the asset impairment loss line item. The Group presented the impairment loss within the Manitoba segment in note 23.

 

(g)              Loss on disposal of subsidiary

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized a loss of $6,512 on the disposition of its Back Forty project in Michigan. This mainly resulted from the derecognition of the non-controlling interest and cumulative translation adjustments recorded in the entity. The Group has presented the loss within corporate and other activities in note 23.

As commercial production commenced at the Reed mine on April 1, 2014, the Group has a receivable for 30% of the applicable development costs as well as other amounts due from the joint venture partner, VMS Ventures Inc. (“VMS Ventures”) pursuant to the Reed Lake Project Joint Venture Agreement. The receivable will be repaid by offsetting amounts owed to VMS Ventures for the purchase of their proportionate share of the Reed mine ore. The receivable has been discounted and has been classified based on the expected timing of ore purchases. As at June 30, 2015, this receivable from VMS Ventures was $17,681 (December 31, 2014 - $20,206).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

The remaining balance in the receivable from joint venture partners primarily relates to the Group’s joint venture partner for the Rosemont project in Arizona. On September 16, 2010, Rosemont and United Copper & Moly LLC (“UCM” or “Partner”), a company formed by Korea Resources Corporation and LG International Corp. to hold their interest in the Rosemont joint venture, executed an Earn-In Agreement (the “EI Agreement”) whereby UCM can acquire up to a 20% interest in the Rosemont joint venture by funding US$176,000 of Rosemont expenditures. Under the terms of the EI Agreement, UCM will contribute cash into the Rosemont project as follows: Tranche 1 - a maximum US$70,000 for permitting, engineering, deposits on long-lead equipment purchases and on-going support activities (collectively “Pre-Construction Costs”); and once the material permits are issued and construction has commenced; Tranche 2 - US$106,000 for construction costs can be released. Once UCM has earned its 20% interest in the Rosemont joint venture, Rosemont expenditures will be shared pro-rata 80/20. In the third quarter of 2011, UCM completed its Tranche 1 cash investment of US$70,000 and earned a 7.95% interest in the Rosemont joint venture.  Hudbay is currently funding UCM’s share of the pre-construction costs at Rosemont until such time as the final material permits have been obtained. The receivable has been classified as non-current.

 

As at June 30, 2015, $167,972 (December 31, 2014 - $142,548) of the current statutory receivables relate to refundable sales taxes in Peru that Hudbay Peru has paid on capital expenditures for its Constancia project. Management expects to receive the amount within one year. Significant judgements are required on measurement and classification of Peruvian sales taxes paid on capital expenditures (note 2c).

The cost of inventories recognized as an expense, including depreciation, and included in cost of sales amounted to $130,187 and $258,193 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - $117,791 and $203,848, respectively). The Group has amended its note disclosure of the cost of inventories recognized as an expense for the current and comparable period to include depreciation expensed from inventories.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized an expense of $5,685 in cost of sales related to write-downs of the carrying value of zinc inventories to net realizable value. For zinc inventories sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the related amount transferred from inventory to cost of sales was $10,696 less than it would have been had write-downs not been previously recognized (three months ended June 30, 2014 - $5,685). As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net impact on cost of sales, related to zinc inventory write-downs, was a decrease of $5,011 (three months ended June 30, 2014 — decrease of $5,685). There were no write-downs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Available-for-sale investments

 

As at June 30, 2015, available-for-sale investments consist of investments in Canadian-listed metals and mining companies, most of which are publicly traded. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 the Group recognized impairment losses of $1,958 and $3,608, respectively, related to its investments in the available-for-sale reserve within equity (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - $329 and $1,123, respectively) (note 6e).

 

Restricted cash

 

As required by Peruvian law, Hudbay Peru provides security with respect to its decommissioning and restoration obligations. Hudbay Peru has provided a letter of credit in the amount of $79,166 as at June 30, 2015, and classified cash on deposit with a Peruvian bank to support the letter of credit as restricted cash (December 31, 2014 - $47,163).

The Group has included the mineral properties and fixed assets acquired in the New Britannia asset purchase in the capital works in progress line (note 5a).

 

As a result of Constancia reaching commercial production in the second quarter of 2015 most of its capital works in progress has been reclassified to mining properties and plant and equipment. The increase in the cost of property, plant and equipment since December 31, 2014 was mostly the result of the effect of foreign exchange on opening balance of $290,907 and additions of $284,773, partially offset by the impairment of Lalor concentrator assets of $24,627 (note 6f).

Other financial liabilities at amortized cost relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia project which allow Hudbay to extract minerals over the useful life of the Constancia project, carry out exploration and evaluation activities in the area and provide Hudbay with community support to operate in the region. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the liability associated with several of the community agreements increased by $80 and payments of $826 were made. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the liability associated with several of the community agreements increased by $4,699 and payments of $10,466 were made. Changes in estimates related to these liabilities are recorded to the liability with a corresponding change in property, plant and equipment or exploration expense.

 

The derivative liabilities include derivative and hedging transactions as well as warrants issued as consideration for the acquisition of Augusta (note 5b) and warrants assumed on the acquisition of Augusta. Derivative liabilities are carried at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded to the condensed consolidated income statements in other finance (gain) loss. The fair value of derivative and hedging transactions are determined based on internal valuation models and the fair value of warrants issued are determined based on the quoted market prices for the listed warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group recognized a loss of $3,056 related to the increase in the fair value of the warrants liability for those issued in the acquisition of Augusta (note 6e). The fair value of these warrants at June 30, 2015 is $25,759. A total of 21,830,490 warrants were issued which entitle the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $15.00 per share on, but not prior to, July 20, 2018. The Company, may, at its option, upon written notice to the warrant holders, settle the exercise of warrants for the in-the-money value, in cash, shares or a combination thereof.

 

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group recognized a loss of US$179 related to the increase in the fair value of the liability for the transferable share purchase warrants of Augusta (the “Augusta Warrants”) which were assumed in connection with the acquisition of Augusta. Following the acquisition, each Augusta Warrant represents the right to acquire 0.315 of a Hudbay common share and 0.17 of a Hudbay warrant. The fair value of the Augusta Warrants at June 30, 2015 is US$3,280. There were 1,374,951 Augusta Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of US$3.85, which expired July 22, 2015 and there are 3,300,000 Augusta Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of US$2.12, expiring December 12, 2016.

 

The purchase price of the acquisition of New Britannia (note 5a) contained an option (European) that pays the seller US$5,000 if the price of gold is equal to or above US$1,400/oz on May 4, 2018. The option represents a financial liability and was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date of New Britannia and will be remeasured at each reporting date with change in the fair value being recognized as unrealized gains or losses in finance income and expense. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2015 was a liability of $1,409 (December 31, 2014 - $nil).

On August 6, 2014, the Group issued US$170,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.50% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2020 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes are incremental to the US$750,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior unsecured notes issued between September 2012 and December 2013 (the “Initial Notes”, and together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The Additional Notes were priced at 107% of the aggregate principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of US$181,900 ($197,844) and will yield 8.03% to maturity. The Notes have been classified as long-term debt and accounted for initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2013. As the proceeds have been used to date to fund the development of Constancia and Rosemont, interest costs on the Initial Notes have been capitalized to Constancia project assets until May 1, 2015 (the date on which Constancia commenced commercial production), and interest costs on the Additional Notes have been capitalized to Rosemont project assets. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries other than the Company’s subsidiaries associated with the Constancia project and the Rosemont project.

In October 2013, the Group entered into an equipment financing facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation to finance the purchase of components of the mobile fleet at the Group’s Constancia project. Loans pursuant to the equipment financing facility have a term of six years, amortized on a quarterly basis and are secured by the Constancia mobile fleet. The loan has been classified as long-term debt and accounted for initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. All payments due within twelve months of the period end date are classified as a current liability. The payments are based on a floating annual interest rate of 3-months LIBOR plus 4.25%.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

In June 2014, the Group entered into a US$150,000 standby credit facility to provide financing for expenditures at the Constancia project. Drawdowns under the facility are repayable in quarterly installments beginning December 31, 2015 and ending September 30, 2018, and will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50%. The facility is secured by the assets of the Peru segment. Drawdowns of US$147,000 occurred during six months ended June 30, 2015.

On March 13, 2015, the Group completed an expansion of its corporate revolving credit facility from US$100,000 to US$300,000.

 

The US$300,000 million revolving credit facility is on substantially similar terms to the US$100,000 credit facility that it replaced. It was intended to provide the Group with additional liquidity as the Constancia project ramped up to commercial production and to support the growth of various business units. The credit facility is repayable in March 2018.

 

As at June 30, 2015, the Manitoba segment had letters of credit advanced under the facility in the amount of $69,873 (December 31, 2014 - $64,084) which are treated as drawings under the facility.

 

15.  Deferred revenue

 

On August 8, 2012, the Group entered into a precious metals stream transaction with Silver Wheaton whereby the Group has received aggregate deposit payments of US$750,000 against delivery of 100% of payable gold and silver from the 777 mine until the later of the end of 2016 and satisfaction of a completion test at the Constancia project, and delivery of 50% of payable gold and 100% of payable silver for the remainder of the 777 mine life. The stream transaction also includes delivery of 100% of payable silver from the Constancia project. On November 4, 2013, the Group entered into an amended and restated precious metals stream agreement with Silver Wheaton pursuant to which the Group agreed to receive an additional US$135,000 deposit against delivery of 50% of payable gold from the Constancia project, with the deposit payable in cash or Silver Wheaton shares, at Silver Wheaton’s election.  In addition to the deposit payments, as gold and silver is delivered to Silver Wheaton, the Group receives cash payments equal to the lesser of (i) the market price and (ii) US$400 per ounce (for gold) and US$5.90 per ounce (for silver), subject to 1% annual escalation after three years.

 

The Group received a cash deposit payment of US$125,000 ($139,287) in March 2014 as a result of US$1,000,000 in capital expenditures having been paid at the Constancia project. In addition, the Group received Silver Wheaton shares in satisfaction of the gold deposit during September 2014 and sold the shares for net proceeds of US$134,978 ($149,931). The Group has now received all the up-front deposit payments related to the precious metal stream transaction with Silver Wheaton in respect of 777 and Constancia.

 

The Group recorded the deposits received as deferred revenue and recognizes amounts in revenue as gold and silver are delivered to Silver Wheaton. The Group determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the consolidated income statements on a per unit basis using the estimated total number of gold and silver ounces expected to be delivered to Silver Wheaton over the life of the 777 and Constancia mines. The Group estimates the current portion of deferred revenue based on deliveries anticipated over the next twelve months. At this time, the Group has assessed that it is unlikely that there will be uncredited legal deposits after mine closure.

In February 2010, Hudbay Arizona entered into a precious metals stream transaction with Silver Wheaton whereby the Group will receive deposit payments of US$230,000 against delivery of 100% of the payable silver and gold from the Rosemont project. The deposit will be payable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the receipt of permits for the Rosemont project and the commencement of construction. In addition to the deposit payments, as gold and silver is delivered to Silver Wheaton, the Group receives cash payments equal to the lesser of (i) the market price and (ii) US$450 per ounce (for gold) and US$3.90 per ounce (for silver), subject to 1% annual escalation after three years. To date, no such deposit has been received under the terms of this contract.

The determination of the diluted weighted-average number of common shares excludes 1,097,077 and  1,321,959 shares, related to stock options that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - 1,846,952 and 1,854,388 shares, respectively). The calculation of diluted weighted-average number of common shares also excludes 1,374,951 out of the money Augusta Warrants which represented the right to acquire 0.315 of a Hudbay common share and 0.17 of a Hudbay warrant and are now expired (note 13). The calculation also excludes all 21,830,490 Hudbay warrants issued as consideration for the acquisition of Augusta (note 5b) as they are out of the money.

 

For periods where Hudbay records a loss, the Group calculates diluted loss per share using the basic weighted average number of shares. If the diluted weighted average number of share was used, the result would be a reduction in the loss, which would be anti-dilutive. Consequently, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Group calculated diluted loss per share using 234,109,246 and 189,542,667 common shares, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Group calculated diluted loss per share using 234,588,385 common shares.

1     Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

2     Excludes embedded provisional pricing derivatives, as well as tax and other statutory amounts.

3     Derivatives and embedded provisional pricing derivatives are carried at their fair value, which is determined based on internal valuation models that reflect observable forward market commodity prices, currency exchange rates, and discount factors based on market US dollar interest rates adjusted for credit risk. For the warrant and option liabilities, fair value is determined based on quoted market closing price or the Black-Scholes model.

4     Available-for-sale investments are carried at their fair value, which is determined using quoted market bid prices in active markets for listed shares and determined using valuation models for shares of private companies. Investments at FVTPL consist of warrants to purchase listed shares, which are carried at fair value as determined using a Black-Scholes model.

5     These financial liabilities relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia project in Peru (note 13). Fair values have been determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on expected cash flows and a credit adjusted discount rate.

6     Fair value of the senior unsecured notes (note 14) has been determined using the quoted market price at the period end.

7     Fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative related to the long-term debt (note 14) has been determined using a binomial tree/lattice approach based on the Hull-White single factor interest rate term structure model.

8     The carrying value of the facilities approximates the fair value as the facilities are based on floating interest rates.

Fair value hierarchy

 

The table below provides an analysis by valuation method of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to recognition. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

 

·                        Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

·                         Level 2: Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and

·                        Level 3: Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data.

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

The Group’s Level 3 investment relates to a minority investment in an unlisted junior mining company. As no observable inputs exist, the Group measures the Level 3 investment at the cost of the investment. The Group monitors business developments and the financial position of the investee to evaluate whether the fair value of the investment has changed significantly. Factors that could result in a significantly lower fair value measurement include poor exploration results or inadequate liquidity to continue as a going concern, among other factors. Factors that would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement include positive exploration results, among other factors.

 

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group did not make any transfers.

 

(b)         Derivatives and hedging:

 

Copper fixed for floating swaps

 

Prior to 2015, the Group had entered into copper fixed for floating swaps on approximately 13 million pounds of copper, settling across January 2015 through March 2015 inclusive at an average fixed receivable price of US$2.79/lb associated with provisional pricing risk in concentrate sales agreements.  As at June 30, 2015, 13 million pounds of copper swaps were settled leaving no unsettled copper fixed for floating swaps (December 31, 2014 — 13 million unsettled copper fixed for floating swaps).

 

The hedging transactions were with counterparties that the Group believed to be creditworthy and did not require the Group to provide collateral. Both copper and zinc costless collars were settled at December 31, 2014 as such the aggregate fair value of the transactions are nil at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The copper fixed for floating swaps were settled at March 31, 2015 as such the aggregate fair value of the transactions were $nil at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - an asset position of $1,263).

 

Non-hedge derivative zinc contracts

 

Hudbay enters into fixed price sales contracts with zinc customers and, to ensure that the Group continues to receive a floating or unhedged realized zinc price, Hudbay enters into forward zinc purchase contracts that effectively offset the fixed price sales contracts. The fixed price sales contracts with customers are not recognized as derivatives, as they are executory contracts entered into and held for the purpose of the Group’s expected sale requirements. However, the zinc forward purchase contracts are recorded as derivatives. Gain and losses on these contracts are recorded in revenues, and cash flows are classified in operating activities.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Group held contracts for forward zinc purchased of 10,699 tonnes (December 31, 2014 — 10,747 tonnes) that related to forward customer sales of zinc. Prices range from US$2,005 to US$2,317 per tonne (December 31, 2014 — US$2,085 to US$2,403) and settlement dates extended to December 2016. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at June 30, 2015 was a net liability position of $2,028 (December 31, 2014 — a net liability position of $778).

 

Non-hedge derivative - warrants

 

Warrants issued by Hudbay as consideration for the purchase of the acquisition of Augusta are derivative liabilities that are carried at their fair value, with changes in fair value recorded to the consolidated income statements in other finance (gain)/loss. The fair value of warrants issued is determined based on the quoted market prices for the listed warrants. The fair value of the Hudbay warrants at June 30, 2015 was a liability of $25,759 (December 31, 2014 - $22,702).

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Augusta warrants assumed by Hudbay in the acquisition of Augusta are derivative liabilities that are carried at their fair value, with changes in fair value recorded to the consolidated income statements in other finance (gain)/loss. The fair value of the Augusta warrants is determined based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the Augusta warrants at June 30, 2015 was a liability of $4,092 (December 31, 2014 — $3,598). On July 22, 2015, 1,374,951 of the Augusta warrants expired.

 

Non-hedge derivative - options

 

The purchase price of the acquisition of New Britannia (note 5a) contained an option (European) that pays the seller US$5 million if the price of gold is at or above US$1,400/oz on the third anniversary from the closing date, or nil if the price of gold is below that level on that date. The option represents a financial liability and was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date of New Britannia and will be remeasured at each reporting date with changes in the fair value being recognized as unrealized gains or losses in finance income and expenses (note 6e). The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2015 was a liability of $1,409 (December 31, 2014 - $nil).

 

(c)          Embedded derivatives

 

Provisional pricing embedded derivatives

 

The Group records embedded derivatives related to provisional pricing in concentrate purchase, concentrate sale and certain other sale contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, prices are subject to final adjustment at the end of a future period after title transfers based on quoted market prices during the quotation period specified in the contract. The period between provisional pricing and final pricing is typically up to three months.

 

Provisional pricing embedded derivatives are presented in trade and other receivables when they relate to sales contracts and in trade and other payables when they relate to purchase contracts. At each reporting date, provisionally priced metals are marked to market based on the forward market price for the quotation period stipulated in the contract, with changes in fair value recognized in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales for purchase concentrate contracts. Cash flows related to provisional pricing embedded derivatives are classified in operating activities.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Manitoba segment’s net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing for sales of 9,104 tonnes of copper (December 31, 2014 — 8,576 tonnes) and no purchases of zinc (December 31, 2014 — nil tonnes). In addition, at June 30, 2015, the Manitoba segments net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing for sales of 2,463 ounces of gold and 22,615 ounces of silver (December 31, 2014 — 2,651 ounces of gold and 26,968 ounces of silver).

 

As at June 30, 2015, the Manitoba segment’s provisionally priced copper, gold and silver sales subject to final settlement were recorded at average prices of US$2.62/lb (December 31, 2014 — US$2.83/lb), US$1,172/oz (December 31, 2014 — US$1,184/oz) and US$15.57/oz (December 31, 2014 — US$15.59/oz), respectively.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Peru segment’s net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing for sales of 18,405 tonnes of copper (December 31, 2014 — nil). As at June 30, 2015, the Peru segment’s provisionally priced copper sales subject to final settlement were recorded at average prices of US$2.62/lb (December 31, 2014 — nil).

 

The aggregate fair value of the embedded derivatives within the copper concentrate sales contracts at June 30, 2015, was a liability position of $9,215 (December 31, 2014 — liability of $1,807). The aggregate fair value of the embedded derivatives within the zinc concentrate purchases and other contracts at June 30, 2015, was an asset position of $506 (December 31, 2014 — asset of $150).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Prepayment option embedded derivative

 

The Notes (note 14) contain prepayment options which represent embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the host contract. The prepayment options are measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value being recognized as unrealized gains or losses in finance income and expense (note 6e). The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2015 was an asset of $10,312 (December 31, 2014 - an asset of $1,217).

 

21.            Capital commitments

 

As at June 30, 2015, the Group had outstanding capital commitments in Canada of approximately $29,903 primarily related to committed mobile equipment purchases mostly for Lalor and 777, none of which can be terminated by the Group, approximately $186,698 in Peru related to sustaining capital costs, of which all can be terminated by the Group and approximately $328,351 in Arizona, primarily related to its Rosemont project, of which approximately $192,051 cannot be terminated by the Group.

(b)     Non-cash transactions:

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group entered into the following non-cash investing and financing activities which are not reflected in the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows:

 

·                  Remeasurements of the Group’s decommissioning and restoration liabilities as at June 30, 2015, led to a net increase in related property, plant and equipment assets of $10,807 mainly as a result of the increased disturbance in Peru and the acquisition of New Britannia (note 5a). For the six months ended June 30, 2014, such remeasurements led to increases in property, plant and equipment assets of $18,627.

 

·                  Property, plant and equipment included $46,017 of additions which were not yet paid for as at June 30, 2015 (June 30, 2014 - $208,877). These purchases will be reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the periods payments are made.

23.            Segmented information

 

The Group is an integrated metals producer. When making decisions on expansions, opening or closing mines, as well as day to day operations, management evaluates the profitability of the overall operation of the Group. The Group’s main mining operations are located in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Peru and are included in the Manitoba segment and Peru segment, respectively. The Manitoba and Peru segments generate the Group’s revenues. The Manitoba segment sells copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver), zinc metal and other products. The Peru segment, formerly a part of the South America segment, consists of the Group’s Constancia mine and sells copper concentrate. The Group’s Arizona segment consists of the Group’s Rosemont project in Arizona, which Hudbay acquired on July 16, 2014. Corporate and other activities include the Group’s exploration activities in Chile and Colombia as well as the Balmat segment which consists of a zinc mine and concentrator, which is on care and maintenance. The prior year comparatives have been recast to move the South American exploration entities to corporate and other activities as they were previously included in the previously named South American segment.  The exploration entities and Balmat are not individually significant, as they do not meet the minimum quantitative thresholds. Corporate activities are not considered a segment and are included as a reconciliation to total consolidated results. In 2013, the corporate and other activities segment includes the Michigan segment which was sold on January 17, 2014. Accounting policies for each reported segment are the same. Segment profit or loss represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of corporate costs. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision-maker, the Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer, for the purposes of resource allocation and the assessment of segment performance. Total assets and liabilities do not reflect intercompany balances, which have been eliminated on consolidation.

Hudbay Releases Second Quarter 2015 Results

 

Toronto, Ontario, July 29, 2015 — HudBay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “company”) (TSX, NYSE:HBM) today released its second quarter 2015 financial results.

 

In the second quarter of 2015, operating cash flow before stream deposit and change in non-cash working capital increased to $20.7 million from $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2014.

 

The net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2015 were $55.2 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to net income and income per share of $0.3 million and nil, respectively, in the second quarter of 2014. Net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2015 were affected by, among other things, the following items:

The Constancia mine commenced production in December 2014, and achieved commercial production on April 30, 2015. Ocean shipments began in April 2015, and the mine and concentrator are currently processing ore at or above design capacity. Hudbay expects to achieve full year 2015 production and operating cost guidance for all of its operations.

 

Financial and Operating Results

 

Cash flow from operations was positively impacted by increased revenue as a result of significant increases in production of all metals as the Constancia mine achieved commercial production at the end of April 2015. Copper, gold, silver and zinc production increased by 270%, 37%, 301% and 9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, cash costs per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, declined by 37% compared to the same period in 2014, to US$1.29. The business benefited from slightly

higher production volumes in Manitoba, weaker local currencies, lower energy and other input costs and the achievement of commercial production from the large-scale Constancia mine during the second quarter.

 

While improved when compared to the prior year, cash flow from operations and net earnings were negatively impacted by unsold copper, gold, and silver during the quarter. At quarter end, Hudbay had approximately 73,100 tonnes of unsold copper concentrate containing 19,200 tonnes of copper, 30,300 ounces of gold and 579,300 ounces of silver. Shipments from the Constancia mine to the port in Matarani were constrained during May and June by several factors including truck availability, protests along the lower part of the trucking route, unrelated to Constancia, and road refurbishment activities along the route that increased cycle times for concentrate trucks. Steps have been taken to increase the size of the trucking fleet, and the excess inventory is expected to be drawn down over the second half of 2015. In addition, limitations on rail service resulted in a continued build up of copper concentrate inventory in Manitoba. However, additional leased rail cars are expected to enter service during the third quarter which is expected to draw down inventory levels. Also, cash flow from operations was negatively affected by a $10.5 million increase in cash taxes, when compared to the prior year’s quarter, as gross profit, before depreciation and the non-cash pension expense, increased by 68% to $63.4 million.

 

In addition to the pension expense resulting from pension enhancements agreed to as part of the Manitoba collective bargaining process and the Lalor concentrator impairment charge, net earnings were also negatively affected by higher depreciation resulting from commercial production at Constancia and Lalor, and higher interest expense as interest related to the Constancia project is no longer being capitalized.

At June 30, 2015, Hudbay had total pro-forma available and committed liquidity of approximately $436.6 million, including $143.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and availability under its committed credit facilities. In the second half of 2015, Hudbay expects to realize over $100 million in cash flow from the sale of excess copper concentrate inventory and value added tax refunds from the Peruvian government. Hudbay expects that its current liquidity and expected cash flows will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for 2015.

 

Recent Developments

 

On May 4, 2015, Hudbay closed a transaction to acquire a 100% interest in the New Britannia mine and mill, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba. While there are presently no plans to bring the New Britannia mine back into production, based on its initial review, Hudbay believes the New Britannia mill (the “NBM Mill”), if refurbished, has the potential to process approximately 2,000 tonnes per day of gold zone ore from the Lalor mine. As a result of the acquisition of the NBM Mill, Hudbay no longer plans to construct a new concentrator at Lalor, and during the three months ended June 30, 2015, an impairment loss of $24.6 million related to its Lalor concentrator assets was recognized.

 

Hudbay has received commitments from its current lenders to increase the size of its corporate revolving credit facility from US$300 million to US$400 million. The upsized credit facility will be on substantially similar terms to the existing revolving credit facility and will be repayable in March 2018. Hudbay expects to complete definitive documentation for the credit facility amendments during the third quarter of 2015.

 

The collective agreements with each of the seven labour unions representing employees at the Manitoba business unit expired on December 31, 2014. The members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local No. 1848 have been on strike since May 2, 2015. The other six unions, representing approximately 88% of Hudbay’s employees in Manitoba, have ratified new three year agreements. The Manitoba operations continue to operate under a comprehensive contingency plan.

 

A semi-annual dividend of $0.01 per share was declared on July 29, 2015. The dividend will be paid on September 30, 2015 to shareholders of record as of September 11, 2015.

 

Peru Operations Review

 

Mining operations continue to progress as planned and cost optimization is underway. Equipment availabilities are within design parameters and both loading and hauling efficiencies are consistent with expectations.

 

Optimization of plant performance was a primary focus in the later part of the second quarter of 2015 in response to normal ramp up challenges regarding ore blending and recoveries. Coordination among the mine planning, mine operations and plant operations groups has resulted in progress, and recoveries are now in line with expectations.

Daily ore throughput continues to meet ramp-up milestones. Since the end of the second quarter, daily ore throughput has averaged approximately 80,000 tonnes and copper recoveries have averaged approximately 75%.

 

Commissioning of the molybdenum flotation circuit commenced late in the second quarter of 2015, and ramp up of production is planned during the third quarter.

 

Manitoba Operations Review

 

For the second quarter of 2015, ore processed was 3% higher compared to the same period of 2014 primarily as a result of increased production at Lalor partially offset by lower production at the 777 mine. Compared to the second quarter of 2014, zinc and gold grades were 7% and 11% higher, and copper and silver grades were 7% and 17% lower as a result of normal mine sequencing. Recoveries of zinc and gold in the second quarter of 2015 were consistent with the same period of 2014, and recoveries of copper and silver in the second quarter of 2015 were 4% and 13% higher compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of higher copper ore grades received by the Flin Flon concentrator. Combined operating costs per tonne of ore processed in the second quarter of 2015 were 25% higher, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to increased production at the Snow Lake operations which have higher unit costs, as well as increased unit costs at the Flin Flon operations resulting from decreased production at the 777 mine.

 

Year-to-date ore processed was 9% higher than the same period in 2014 as a result of increased production from Lalor and Reed. Year-to-date copper, zinc and gold grades were 5%, 4% and 6% higher, respectively, and silver grades were 15% lower compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of normal mine sequencing. Year-to-date recoveries of copper, zinc and gold were consistent with the same period of 2014. Recoveries of silver were 14% higher compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of higher copper ore grades received by the Flin Flon concentrator. Combined operating costs per tonne of ore processed year-to-date in 2015 were 17% higher, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the same factors that affected second quarter production and costs.

 

Lalor Copper-Gold Zone Exploration Results

 

The Phase 1 copper-gold zone drill program at Lalor included a total of 14 holes (totalling approximately 4,500 metres) drilled from the 1,025 metre level; assay results from seven holes were released with Hudbay’s first quarter results in May. Assay results from the remaining seven holes are shown in the table on the following page and were similar to those from previous holes, confirming a high grade thick core down the middle of the main zone with decreasing grade and thickness towards the contacts, as well as separate hanging wall and footwall mineralization.

 

The Phase 2 exploration ramp extension to the north, which will allow testing of the copper-gold zones down plunge, and step out drilling to the east and west, is progressing well and is expected to be complete by the end of August. Drilling from the Phase 2 exploration ramp is anticipated to commence in September 2015 with approximately 8,500 metres of drilling planned. The Phase 2 portion of the ramp development continues to maintain a drift size capable of accommodating future mine equipment and related infrastructure for mining the copper-gold zones.

1The quality assurance and quality control measures and the sampling, analytical and testing procedures that were applied and utilized during the execution of the exploration work at Lalor were substantially similar to those discussed in the Technical Report for Lalor that was previously filed on SEDAR, titled Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report, on the Lalor Deposit, Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada, effective as of March 29, 2012. There are no drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the preliminary results.

Conversion to US Dollar Reporting

 

Following the declaration of commercial production at Constancia, Hudbay has determined that, effective July 1, 2015, the appropriate functional currency of its corporate entity has changed from Canadian dollars to US dollars. In addition, Hudbay intends to change its reporting currency to US dollars effective with the financial reports for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2015.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

 

Operating cash flow per share and cash cost per pound of copper produced are included in this news release because the company believes that, in the case of operating cash flow per share, it helps investors and management to evaluate changes in cash flow while taking into account changes in shares outstanding, and in the case of cash cost per pound of copper produced, it helps investors assess the performance of the company’s operations. These measures do not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

 

Operating Cash Flow per Share

 

The following table presents Hudbay’s calculation of operating cash flow per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014:

Reconciliation of Cash Cost, After By-product Credits (non-IFRS) to Cost of Sales (IFRS)

 

Cash cost per pound of copper produced (“cash cost”) is a non-IFRS measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of the company’s operations. Hudbay’s calculation designates copper as its primary metal of production as it has been, and is expected to be, the largest component of revenues. Two changes have been made to the cash cost calculation beginning with the period ended June 30, 2015. First, the basis of measurement has been changed from pounds of copper sold to pounds of copper produced. This change has been made to better align the costs of production in the same period as the copper produced and reduce variation in cash cost due to inventory sales timing. Second, royalties have been removed from the cash cost. This change increases consistency between Hudbay’s cash cost calculation and industry peers. The calculation is presented in two manners:

 

·                  Cash cost, before by-product credits - This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only pounds of copper produced, Hudbay’s primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by-product metals. It is, however, significantly affected by the relative mix of copper concentrate and finished zinc production, and an increase in production of zinc metal will tend to result in an increase in cash costs under this measure.

 

·                  Cash cost, net of by-product credits - In order to calculate the cost to produce and sell copper, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than copper. The by-product revenues from zinc, gold, silver, and molybdenum are significant and are integral to the economics of Hudbay. The economics that support Hudbay’s decision to produce and sell copper would be different if the company did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum copper price consistent with positive operating cash flows and operating margins, assuming that realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure Hudbay’s operating performance versus that of its competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside copper prices, the cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher copper price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

 

The tables below present a detailed build-up of cash cost by business unit in addition to reconciliations between cash cost, after by-product credits to the most comparable GAAP measures of cost of sales for the three and six-month

1Per pound of copper produced

2Excludes $9,500 of treatment and refining charges which were incurred prior to commercial production

 

Cash cost net of by-product credits in the second quarter of 2015 was US$1.29/lb, a decrease of US$0.75/lb compared to the same period of 2014. The decrease is largely the result of less reliance on purchased zinc concentrates, increased zinc by-product credits, and the effect of foreign exchange on Canadian dollar denominated costs in Manitoba and the start of commercial production at Constancia during the quarter.

 

Year-to-date cash cost net of by-product credits was US$1.33/lb, compared to US$2.32/lb in 2014. The year-to-date variance is largely the result of the factors noted in the discussion of the second quarter variance.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Hudbay does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this news release or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law.

 

Note to United States Investors

 

This news release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. issuers.

 

Information concerning Hudbay’s mineral properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in material respects from the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Industry Guide 7. Under the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time of the reserve determination, and the SEC does not recognize the reporting of mineral deposits which do not meet the SEC Industry Guide 7 definition of “Reserve”. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are

defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize them. You are cautioned that, except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be economically or legally mined. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, that it can be economically or legally mined, or that it will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Likewise, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be upgraded into mineral reserves.
