YAMANA GOLD INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
(Tabular amounts in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise noted, unaudited)


1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Yamana Gold Inc. is the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group ("Yamana" or "the Company”). The Company, incorporated and domiciled in Canada, is a precious metals producer with significant gold and silver production, development stage properties, and exploration properties and land positions throughout the Americas, including Canada, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Yamana plans to continue to build on this base through expansion and optimization initiatives at existing operating mines, development of new mines, the advancement of its exploration properties and, at times, by targeting other consolidation opportunities with a primary focus in the Americas.

The Company’s registered office is Royal Bank Plaza, North Tower, Suite 2200 - 200 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2J3. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: YRI) and the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: AUY).

The Company's principal producing mining properties are comprised of the Canadian Malartic mine in Canada (50% interest); the Jacobina mine in Brazil; the El Peñón and Minera Florida mines in Chile; and the Cerro Moro mine in Argentina. At September 30, 2020, the Company's significant projects include the Agua Rica project in Argentina.

On October 7, 2020, the Company announced that the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") had approved its prospectus for the listing of the Company’s common shares to the Standard Listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange’s ("LSE") Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”). Admission became effective and trading in the Company's common shares commenced on October 13, 2020 under the ticker symbol AUY. The Company did not raise capital in conjunction with the LSE admission.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 28, 2020.


2.    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The critical judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied and disclosed in Note 4: Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Sources of estimation uncertainty include estimates to determine the recoverable amount of mining properties, recoverable reserves and resources, and the valuation of other assets and liabilities including environmental rehabilitation provisions.

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world, including regions Yamana operates in. On March 11, 2020, it was labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy.

The Company has taken a number of measures to safeguard the health of its employees and their local communities while continuing to operate safely and responsibly. The Company acted in compliance with government-ordered restrictions, resulting in operations at two of the Company’s mines being temporarily suspended on March 20 and 24, 2020, respectively. Operations at these mines resumed in April 2020, and the gradual resumption towards full mining activities occurred over the second and third
image46a.jpg | 7


quarters, and complied with the recommendations of governments and public health officials, with full attention to the health and safety of returning employees, contractors, and suppliers.

The above measures impacted overall production in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; however, strong commodity prices and the weakening of certain local currencies relative to the US Dollar minimized the impact on the Company’s financial results. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $8.6 million and $31.3 million, respectively of temporary suspension, standby and other incremental COVID-19 costs. These costs are associated with placing certain mines in care and maintenance, the subsequent ramp-up of those operations, and the underutilization of labour and contractors in relation to the pre-COVID-19 mine plans. In addition, other incremental costs resulting from COVID-19 include community support, the acquisition of additional personal protective equipment, higher transportation costs, and overtime costs resulting from lower headcount levels on site to accommodate social distancing. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $3.5 million of similar costs, which were disclosed in 'other operating expenses, net' in the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, these costs have been reclassified to 'temporary suspension, standby and other incremental COVID-19 costs', to conform to the change in presentation adopted in the second quarter of 2020.

As at September 30, 2020, the Company had $474.2 million in cash, $650.0 million undrawn on its credit facility, and no scheduled debt repayments due until 2022, providing sufficient liquidity to manage through this period of uncertainty.

In the current environment, assumptions about future commodity prices, exchange rates, and interest rates are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in the future affect the valuation of the Company's assets, both financial and non-financial. While the short-term prices for both gold and silver increased during the quarter, and certain foreign exchange rates moved favourably, the Company’s estimates in relation to these assumptions over a long-term view have remained unchanged, reflecting the long life of many of the Company's assets.

While the Company has not experienced any significant negative impact to date, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts future business activity or financial results, and the duration of any such negative impact, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unknown at this time.


3.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 

New and Revised IFRSs, Narrow Scope Amendments to IFRSs and IFRS Interpretations not yet Effective

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2020. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption have been excluded from this note.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16).

These amendments clarify the accounting for the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The amendments prohibit entities from deducting amounts received from selling items produced from the cost of property, plant and equipment while the Company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, sales proceeds and the cost of producing these items will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The amendments apply retrospectively, but only to assets brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Company first applies the amendments. The Company is evaluating the extent of the impact of the amendments on its financial statements and the timing of adoption.


4.    BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS

Leagold Mining Corporation and Equinox Gold Corp. merger, and subsequent sale of Equinox Units

On May 24, 2018, Yamana completed the disposal of its 53.6% controlling interest in Brio Gold to Leagold Mining Corporation ("Leagold"). Pursuant to the terms of the sale, the Company received 20.5% of Leagold's issued and outstanding shares. The Company concluded that it had significant influence over Leagold, and therefore, the investment in Leagold was accounted for as an investment in an associate using the equity method.

On December 16, 2019, Leagold and Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox") jointly announced that the companies had entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an at-market merger. On March 10, 2020, the companies announced that the merger had


image46a.jpg | 8


been completed. The combined company continues as Equinox Gold under the ticker symbol “EQX” on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to the transaction, Leagold shareholders received 0.331 of an Equinox share for each Leagold share held. This resulted in Yamana owning approximately 9% of the combined company at the date of the completion of the merger.

Yamana concluded that, as a result of its reduced shareholding, it no longer had significant influence in the investee, and therefore, discontinued accounting for the investment using the equity method from the date of the completion of the merger. Yamana recorded a gain on discontinuation of the equity method of $21.3 million which is included in other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated interim statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The investment in Equinox is accounted for as a financial asset at FVOCI.

On April 13, 2020 Yamana announced it had entered into an agreement with Stifel GMP and Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Dealers”) to sell 12,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of C$10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds to Yamana of C$120.0 million (the “Sale Transaction"). Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share of Equinox owned by Yamana and one-half (0.5) of a common share purchase warrant of Yamana (each whole warrant a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional common share of Equinox owned by Yamana (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$13.50 for a term of 9 months from the date of issue. The Sale Transaction closed on April 15, 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, Yamana disposed of 1,200,000 Equinox shares for proceeds of approximately C$20.5 million.

As at September 30, 2020, Yamana held 6,000,000 Equinox shares, representing approximately 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Equinox shares, on a non-diluted basis.

In the event that all of the Warrants forming part of the Units are exercised in full, Yamana will dispose of its remaining 6,000,000 Equinox shares at a value of C$13.50 per share (being the exercise price of the Warrants), for additional gross proceeds to Yamana of C$81.0 million, bringing total gross proceeds from the Sale Transaction to C$201.0 million.

Sale of the Royalty Portfolio

On February 23, 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell a portfolio of royalty interests and the contingent payment to be received upon declaration of commercial production at the Deep Carbonates Project (“DCP”) at the Gualcamayo gold mine (together, the “Royalty Portfolio”) to Guerrero Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:GV) (“Guerrero”).

The assets in the Royalty Portfolio being sold pursuant to the transaction were:
A 1% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on gold production and 2% NSR on base metals from the Riacho dos Machados (“RDM”) gold mine operating in Minas Gerais, Brazil;
A 2% NSR on oxide gold production from the Gualcamayo gold mine operating in San Juan, Argentina, once the operation produces approximately 275,000 ounces from January 1, 2020;
A 1.5% NSR on production from the DCP at the Gualcamayo gold mine;
A $30.0 million cash payment receivable upon declaration of commercial production at the DCP at the Gualcamayo gold mine; and
A 2% NSR on production from the Suruca project in Goiás, Brazil.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Yamana’s Royalty Portfolio, Guerrero also entered into an agreement to acquire a portfolio of precious metals royalty, stream and gold loan assets from funds related to Orion Resource Partners (USA) LP (collectively, “Orion”) for total consideration of $268.0 million.

On May 25, 2020, Guerrero announced that it had formally changed its corporate name to Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. (“Nomad”).

On May 27, 2020, the transaction was completed and Yamana received $64.2 million in consideration as follows:
$10.0 million in cash;
$10.8 million, being the fair value of the $10.0 million deferred cash payment. The deferred cash payment is measured at fair value due to the convertible nature of the financial instrument. Pursuant to the terms in the Deferred Payment Agreement, Yamana will receive interest on the deferred cash payment of 3% calculated and payable on a quarterly basis, and the deferred cash payment may be converted at any time, in whole or in part, by Yamana into shares of Nomad at C$0.90 per share. The deferred cash payment will be due for payment in full at the end of two years. However, Nomad may pay the deferred cash payment in full at the end of one year, subject to additional payment by Nomad equal to 5% of the deferred cash payment, and the right of Yamana to convert the deferred cash payment into shares of Nomad at a price of C$0.90 per share. The instrument creating the deferred cash payment can be transferred at any time. The deferred cash payment is accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss; and
$43.4 million in Nomad common shares at a price of C$0.90 per share, representing approximately 13% of Nomad's issued and outstanding shares. These shares are subject to a lockup period of six months.

The purchase price payable to Orion was satisfied through the issuance of $268.0 million in Nomad common shares at a price of C$0.90 per share, representing approximately 77% of Nomad's issued and outstanding shares. These shares are subject to a lockup period of 12 months.

On May 29, 2020, Nomad's shares commenced trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "NSR".

As Yamana is represented on Nomad's board of directors, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Nomad, and the investment in Nomad has been accounted for as an investment in associate using the equity method.

Suyai Option Agreement

On April 28, 2020, Yamana announced that it had entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) pursuant to which, it has granted Argentina based Consultores Asset Management S.A. (“CAM”) the right and option to acquire up to a maximum 40% interest in the legal entity that directly holds the Suyai Project, an advanced stage exploration gold project located in Chubut Province, in southern Argentina.

The exercise of the option granted is subject to CAM fulfilling certain obligations and achieving certain milestones, and by paying $31.6 million in various installments plus all of their proportionate expenses during the earn in periods. CAM’s obligations primarily relate to the performance of environmental, social and governance matters and, in particular, leading the permitting efforts aimed to advance the project through its different stages of development. CAM has the right to acquire a 35% legal interest by the end of the first earn in period, which ends on December 31, 2024, and a further 5% legal interest within five years of the satisfaction of the 35% interest.

Yamana received an upfront payment of $2.0 million from CAM to secure the option, which has been accounted for as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Investment in Monarch Gold Corporation

In June 2020, pursuant to a private placement offer by Monarch Gold Corporation ("Monarch") (TSX: MQR), Yamana subscribed for C$4.2 million worth of units of Monarch at a price of C$0.24 per unit and was issued 17,500,000 common shares of Monarch, along with 8,750,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles Yamana to purchase one common share of Monarch at a price of C$0.29 until June 10, 2023. The securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a four month and one day hold period ending on October 11, 2020.

As Yamana’s shareholding is above 5%, the Company is entitled to participate in future financings to maintain its interest in Monarch and to name a representative to Monarch’s Board of Directors.

As Yamana will be represented on Monarch's board of directors, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Monarch, and the investment has been accounted for as an investment in associate using the equity method.

Yamana acquired additional shares in Monarch during the third quarter of 2020, increasing the Company's shareholding from 6% to 7.1% of Monarch's issued and outstanding shares.


5.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
The Company bases its operating segments on the way information is reported and used by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), being the Company's Senior Executive Group. The results of operating segments are reviewed by the CODM in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance.

The Company considers each of its individual operating mine sites as reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. Further, the results of operating mines that the Company does not intend to manage in the long-term, and for which a disposal plan has been initiated, are reviewed as one segment. In addition to these reportable segments, the Company aggregates and discloses the financial results of other operating segments with similar economic characteristics as reviewed by the CODM, including exploration properties and corporate entities, under "Corporate and Other".

10.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was calculated based on the following:

For the three months ended September 30,For the nine months ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019 
Net earnings$55.6 $201.3 $100.8 $211.1 

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

The weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was based on the following:
For the three months ended September 30,For the nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands of units)2020 2019 2020 2019 
Weighted average number of common shares - basic
952,479 950,413 951,611 950,210 
Weighted average number of dilutive share options

Weighted average number of common shares - diluted
954,526 951,944 953,427 951,564 

The following securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive:

The Company’s portfolio of equity securities is primarily focused on the mining sector. These are strategic investments and the Company considers this classification to be more relevant.

(iii)Represents the Deferred Cash Payment receivable from the Nomad transaction. Refer to Note 4.

(b)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing the fair value of a particular contract, the market participant would consider the credit risk of the counterparty to the contract. Consequently, when it is appropriate to do so, the Company adjusts its valuation models to incorporate a measure of credit risk.

i)Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value:

Level 1:    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2:    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

As at September 30, 2020, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. As at September 30, 2020, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

ii) Valuation Methodologies Used in the Measurement of Fair Value for Level 2 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Warrants and Convertible Loan Receivable
The fair value of warrants, and the convertible loan receivable are determined using a Black-Scholes model based on relevant assumptions including risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using either present value techniques or option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs. The Company continues to monitor the potential impact of the recent instability of the financial markets, and will adjust its derivative contracts for credit risk based upon the credit default swap spread for each of the counterparties as warranted.

iii)     Carrying Value Versus Fair Value

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial instruments, other than those whose carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value:

As at,September 30, 2020December 31, 2019
Financial instrument classificationCarrying amount
Fair value (i)
Carrying amount
Fair value (i)
Debt
Senior notes Amortized cost$996.1 $986.4 $1,051.3 $1,042.2 
(i)The Company's senior notes are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. The fair value required to be disclosed is determined by discounting the future cash flows by a discount factor based on an interest rate of 5%, which reflects the Company's own credit risk.

Management assessed that the fair values of trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Derivative assets and liabilities are already carried at fair value.

(i)The Company has designated zero cost collar option contracts as cash flow hedges for its highly probable forecasted BRL and CAD expenditure requirements. The Company has elected to only designate the change in the intrinsic value of options in the hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the time value component of options is recorded in OCI as a cost of hedging. In June and November 2019, the Company entered into certain zero cost collar options. These cash flow hedges are expected to cover approximately 38% and 33% of the BRL denominated forecasted costs from January 2020 to December 2020 and January 2021 to June 2021, respectively. Further, in March 2020, the Company entered into CAD zero cost collar options. These cash flow hedges are expected to cover approximately 45% of the CAD denominated forecasted costs from March 2020 to December 2020.
(ii)On November 5 and 6, 2019, the Company entered into forward contracts totalling BRL 226.2 million (approximately US$56.5 million) split evenly from January 2020 to December 2020 as well as from January 2021 to June 2021 at a weighted average BRL to US Dollar forward rate of BRL 4.06 and BRL 4.07 per US Dollar, respectively. These forward contracts are expected to cover approximately 26% and 33% of the BRL denominated forecasted costs from January 2020 to December 2020 and January 2021 to June 2021, respectively.

(iii)On November 5 and 6, 2019, the Company entered into forward contracts totalling CLP 69.6 billion (approximately US$94.7 million) split evenly from January 2020 to December 2020 at a weighted average Chilean Peso to US Dollar forward rate of CLP 740.19 per US Dollar. These forward contracts are expected to cover approximately 44% of the Chilean Peso denominated forecasted costs from January 2020 to December 2020.

As at September 30, 2020, the Company also had derivative liabilities relating to the warrants issued to purchase Equinox shares held by Yamana of $11.4 million, and option agreements of $4.7 million. Refer to Note 4 for further details.

d)     Financial Instruments and Related Risks

Market risk is the risk that changes in market factors, such as foreign exchange, commodity prices or interest rates will affect the value of the Company's financial instruments. Market risks are managed by either accepting the risk or mitigating it through the use of derivatives and other economic hedges. As at September 30, 2020 there are no substantial changes to the market risk described in Note 18: Financial Risk Management to the Company's Consolidated Annual Financial Statements.

The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, and foreign exchange rates by entering into derivative financial instruments from time to time, in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Details of these contracts are included above.

(i)The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") to provide holders of common shares a simple and convenient method to purchase additional common shares by electing to automatically reinvest all or any portion of cash dividends paid on common shares held by the plan participant without paying any brokerage commissions, administrative costs or other service charges. As at September 30, 2020, a total of 7,696,417 shares have subscribed to the plan.
(ii)Under Canadian income tax legislation, a company is permitted to issue flow-through shares, whereby the company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. On July 3, 2020, the Company closed a flow-through financing for proceeds of $7.4 million (C$10.0 million) consisting of the issue and sale of 1,000,000 flow-through common shares at a price of C$10.00 per share. The proceeds were allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation was made based on the difference between the quoted price of the shares and the amount the investors paid for the shares, with a deferred flow-through premium liability recognized for the difference. Accordingly, the Company recorded share capital of $5.3 million (C$7.2 million) and a deferred flow-through premium liability of $2.0 million (C$2.7 million). The liability will be reversed and a tax recovery recognized as the Company incurs Canadian exploration eligible flow-through expenditures ("CEE"). During the third quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $0.7 million of expenditures in relation to the financing; the Company has until December 31, 2021 to fulfil its obligation by incurring CEE.
(iii)Includes the cancellation of 149,927 common shares that were not exchanged by holders of Osisko common shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement related to the acquisition of the Canadian Malartic mine in 2014. Holders of Osisko common shares were to exchange their shares for common shares of Yamana within a time period of six years following the closing of the transaction. As certain Osisko shareholders failed to surrender their certificates representing Osisko common shares by June 16, 2020, non-certificated positions representing 149,927 Yamana common shares were cancelled during the third quarter of 2020.
