1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

First Majestic Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “First Majestic”) is in the business of production, development, exploration, and acquisition of mineral properties with a focus on silver and gold production in North America. The Company owns three producing mines in Mexico consisting of the San Dimas Silver/Gold Mine, the Santa Elena Silver/Gold Mine and the La Encantada Silver Mine. The Company also owns the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine in Nevada, USA which has been placed on temporary suspension as of March 20, 2023 to focus on exploration, definition, and expansion of the mineral resources and optimization of mine planning and plant operations. In addition, the Company owns three mines in suspension: the San Martin Silver Mine, the Del Toro Silver Mine, the La Parrilla Silver Mine and several exploration stage projects. As at June 30, 2023 the La Parrilla Silver Mine was classified as an asset held-for-sale (Note 14).

First Majestic is incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia and is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AG”, on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “FR” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “FMV”. The Company’s head office and principal address is located at 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1800, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L2.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022, as some disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain items that are measured at fair value including derivative financial instruments (Note 24) and marketable securities (Note 13). All dollar amounts presented are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies consistent with those in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 except as outlined in Note 3.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the financial data requires that the Company’s management to make assumptions and estimates of the impacts of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company applied the accounting policies, critical judgments and estimates disclosed in Note 3 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the following accounting policies, critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies:

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

Assets and liabilities held-for-sale:
Accounting Policy:
A non-current asset or disposal group of assets and liabilities ("disposal group") is classified as held-for-sale, if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and when the following criteria are met:
(i) The non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; and
(ii) The sale of the non-current asset or disposal group is highly probable. For the sale to be highly probable:
The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group;
An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated;
The non-current asset or disposal group must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value;
The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale (with certain exceptions); and
Actions required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale from the date these criteria are met and are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell ("FVLCTS"). If the FVLCTS is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in net earnings. Upon classification as held for sale, non-current assets are no longer depreciated.

Significant estimates and judgements:
In determining the probability of the sale being completed within a year, management has considered a number of factors including necessary approvals from management, the Board of Directors, regulators and shareholders.

Critical Judgements and Estimates
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

Judgement is needed to assess whether the Company’s interest in an investee meets the definition of having significant influence and therefore requires to be accounted for under the equity method.

In making a judgement of whether the Company has significant influence over the entity, management has evaluated the ownership percentage as well as other qualitative factors including but not limited to representation on the Board of Directors, participation in operational or financial policy-making processes, material transactions between the Company and the investee, interchange of managerial personnel, provision of technical information and the nature of potential voting rights.

As part of this assessment, management has considered that until such time that First Majestic holds less than 19.9% of the outstanding shares, the Company has agreed to vote in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors of Sierra Madre.

Based on the qualitative factors noted above, the restrictions imposed on voting rights, and the lack of rights to have or appoint members to the Board, the Company has determined that significant influence does not exist despite holding a 48% interest in Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. The Company began accounting for the shares received from Sierra Madre as an equity security at FVTOCI.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
Critical Judgements and Estimates (continued)
Impairment of non-current asset
Once an indicator of impairment is identified, significant judgement is required to determine the recoverable amounts of the Company's mining interests. Following the recent temporary suspension of operations at Jerritt Canyon, the Company has determined that there was an indicator of impairment. The Company determined that the value of the CGU can be estimated using the market approach, based on the implied value per in-situ ounce of the property, rather than from the future cash flows from continuing operations.

In estimating the fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD"), the Company took into account the consideration paid in recent transactions for comparable Companies and benchmarked the value per in-situ ounce at Jerritt Canyon against these transactions. The Company concluded that the resulting measurement is more representative of the fair value of the CGU in the circumstances existing at the end of the current period.

New and amended IFRS standards that are effective for the current year:

In the current year, the Company has applied the below amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that were effective for annual periods that begin on or after January 1, 2023. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments—Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term "significant accounting policies" with "material accounting policy information." Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material. The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.

The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
New and amended IFRS standards that are effective for the current year (continued)
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors—Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.”

The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

• A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an
error

• The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes
in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)
The amendments clarify that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognized, such as with leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective in the Current Period

At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective. Management does not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed below will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future periods, except if indicated.

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current.

In addition, the amendment requires entities to disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)

The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 although earlier application is permitted. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

All of the Company’s operations are within the mining industry and its major products are precious metals doré which are refined or smelted into pure silver and gold and sold to global metal brokers. Transfer prices between reporting segments are set on an arms-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Coins and bullion cost of sales are based on transfer prices.

An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company that:
engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and
for which discrete financial information is available.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's significant operating segments include its three operating mines in Mexico, the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine in Nevada, United States and its "non-producing properties" in Mexico which include the La Parrilla, Del Toro and San Martin mines, which have been placed on suspension. The Jerritt Canyon Gold mine has been placed on temporary suspension as of March 20, 2023 to focus on exploration, definition, and expansion of the mineral resources and optimization of mine planning and plant operations. “Others” consists primarily of the Company’s corporate assets including cash and cash equivalents, other development and exploration properties (Note 15), debt facilities (Note 21), coins and bullion sales, and corporate expenses which are not allocated to operating segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates segment performance based on mine operating earnings. Therefore, other income and expense items are not allocated to the segments.

Significant information relating to the Company’s reportable operating segments is summarized in the tables below:

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had $3.7 million of unearned revenue (December 31, 2022 - $3.4 million) that has not satisfied performance obligations.

(a)Gold Stream Agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
The Santa Elena mine is subject to a gold streaming agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”), which requires the Company to sell 20% of its gold production over the life of mine from its leach pad and a designated area of its underground operations at the Santa Elena mine. The selling price to Sandstorm is the lesser of the prevailing market price or $450 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company delivered 210 and 1,066 ounces (2022 - 864 and 1,484 ounces) of gold to Sandstorm at an average price of $474 and $473 per ounce (2022 - $473 and $471 per ounce).

(b)    Net Smelter Royalty
The Santa Elena mine has a net smelter royalty ("NSR") agreement with Orogen Royalties Inc. that requires a 2% NSR from the production of the Ermitaño property. In addition, there is an underlying NSR royalty where Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. retains a 2% NSR from the sale of mineral products extracted from the Ermitaño property. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $1.7 million and $3.6 million (2022 - $1.3 million and $2.6 million) in NSR payments from the production of Ermitaño.
In 2022, the Company sold a portfolio of its existing royalty interests to Metalla Royalty and Streaming Limited. The agreement requires a 100% royalty for the first 1,000 ounces of gold produced annually from the La Encantada property. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $0.1 and $0.2 million (2022 - $nil and $nil) in NSR payments from production at La Encantada.

(c) Gold Stream Agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corporation

In 2018, the San Dimas mine entered into a purchase agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals International ("WPMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., which entitles WPMI to receive 25% of the gold equivalent production (based on a fixed exchange ratio of 70 silver ounces to 1 gold ounce) at San Dimas in exchange for ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $600 (subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment) and the prevailing market price for each gold equivalent ounce delivered. Should the average gold to silver ratio over a six-month period exceed 90:1 or fall below 50:1, the fixed exchange ratio would be increased to 90:1 or decreased to 50:1, respectively. The fixed gold to silver exchange ratio as of June 30, 2023, was 70:1.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company delivered 11,354 and 22,005 ounces (2022 - 10,633 and 20,703 ounces) of gold to WPM at $628 and $626 per ounce (2022 - $624 and $621 per ounce).

14. DIVESTITURES

(a) La Guitarra Silver Mine

On May 24, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a share purchase agreement with Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. ("Sierra Madre"), to sell the Company's subsidiary La Guitarra Compañia Minera S.A. de C.V. ("La Guitarra"), which owns the La Guitarra Silver Mine for total consideration of approximately $35 million, consisting of 69,063,076 Sierra Madre shares at a deemed price of $0.51 per share. The closing of the transaction was subject to customary closing conditions including approval of the Sierra Madre shareholders (which was obtained in December 2022), regulatory approval and that Sierra Madre raise a minimum of $7.7 million (CAD $10 million) in a private placement concurrent or prior to the sale.

On June 30, 2022, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the assets and liabilities of La Guitarra were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Immediately prior to the classification to assets and liabilities held for sale, the carrying amount of La Guitarra was remeasured to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD, based on the expected proceeds from the sale. At December 31, 2022, the sale continued to be considered highly probable; therefore the assets and liabilities were presented as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities. During 2022, the Company recorded a reversal of impairment loss related to the La Guitarra assets of $12.3 million based on the recoverable amount implied by the share purchase agreement.

Out of the impairment reversal of $12.3 million related to La Guitarra, $8.2 million was allocated to depletable mining interest, $1.0 million was allocated to non-depletable mining interest with the remaining $3.1 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, resulting in an impairment reversal of $8.0 million, net of a $4.4 million adjustment to the deferred tax liability. The recoverable amount of La Guitarra, being its FVLCD, was $34.9 million based on the expected proceeds from the sale.

On March 29, 2023, the Company completed the sale of La Guitarra to Sierra Madre and received total consideration of $33.2 million net of transaction costs, before working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the purchase price is increased to the extent the working capital of La Guitarra is greater than zero, and decreased to the extent the working capital is less than zero. Based on the carrying value of the asset at the time of disposal of $34.3 million, and the working capital adjustment of $0.2 million, the Company has recorded a loss on disposition of $1.4 million. The Company began accounting for the shares received from Sierra Madre as an equity security at FVTOCI (Note 13).

On December 7, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with Golden Tag Resources Ltd. ("Golden Tag") to sell the La Parrilla Silver Mine for total consideration of up to $33.5 million, consisting of 143,673,684 Golden Tag shares at a deemed price of 0.16 per share, having an aggregate value as of the date of the sale agreement of $20 million, and up to $13.5 million in contingent consideration, in the form of three milestone payments payable in either cash or shares in Golden Tag. The Company has also agreed to purchase $2.7 million of Golden Tag securities in a future Golden Tag equity financing of up to CAD $7.2 million. Closing the transaction is pending and remains subject to customary closing conditions, including completion of such financing and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

At December 31, 2022, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the assets of La Parrilla were classified as assets held for sale and presented separately under current assets. Immediately prior to the classification to assets held for sale, the carrying amount of La Parrilla was remeasured to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD, based on the $20 million initial payment, and the first milestone payment of $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2023, the sale continued to be considered highly probable; therefore, the assets and liabilities were presented as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities.

During 2022, the Company recorded an impairment loss related to the La Parrilla assets of $9.6 million based on the recoverable amount implied by the asset purchase agreement. Out of the impairment of $9.6 million related to La Parrilla, $5.7 million was allocated to depletable mining interest, $2.1 million was allocated to non-depletable mining interest with the remaining $1.7 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, resulting in an impairment of $9.6 million, net of a $nil adjustment to the deferred tax liability. The recoverable amount of La Parrilla, being its FVLCD, was $22.7 million, net of estimated transaction costs, based on the expected proceeds from the sale.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an additional write down on asset held-for-sale related to the La Parrilla assets of $7.2 million, based on the change in value of Golden Tag shares at the end of the reporting period.

Out of the write down of $7.2 million related to La Parrilla, $3.7 million was allocated to depletable mining interest, $1.4 million was allocated to non-depletable mining interest with the remaining $2.1 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, resulting in a write down of $7.2 million, net of a $nil adjustment to the deferred tax liability.

15. MINING INTERESTS

Mining interests primarily consist of acquisition, development, exploration and exploration potential costs directly related to the Company’s operations and projects. Upon commencement of commercial production, mining interests for producing properties are depleted on a units-of-production basis over the estimated economic life of the mine. In applying the units of production method, depletion is determined using quantity of material extracted from the mine in the period as a portion of total quantity of material, based on reserves and resources, considered to be highly probable to be economically extracted over the life of mine plan.

The Company’s mining interests are comprised of the following:

First Majestic agreed to pay First Mining consideration of $22.5 million in cash and shares, in three milestone payments, for the right to purchase silver at a price of 33% of the silver spot price per ounce, to a maximum of $7.50 per ounce (subject to annual inflation escalation of 2%, commencing at the start of the third anniversary of production). Commencing with its production of silver, First Mining must deliver 50% of the payable silver which it receives from the offtaker within five business days of the end of each quarter.

Transaction consideration paid and payable by First Majestic is summarized as follows:
The first payment of $10.0 million, consisting of $2.5 million in cash and $7.5 million in First Majestic shares (805,698 common shares), was paid to First Mining on July 2, 2020;
The second payment, consisting of $3.75 million in cash and $3.75 million in First Majestic shares (287,300 common shares), was paid on January 21, 2021 upon the completion and public announcement by First Mining of the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study for Springpole; and
The third payment, consisting of $2.5 million in cash and $2.5 million in First Majestic shares (based on 20 days volume weighted average price), will be paid upon receipt by First Mining of a Federal or Provincial Environmental Assessment approval for Springpole, which has not yet been received.

In connection with the agreement, First Mining also granted First Majestic 30 million common share purchase warrants, each of which will entitle the Company to purchase one common share of First Mining at CAD$0.40 over a period of five years. The fair value of the warrants was measured at $5.7 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. First Mining shall have the right to repurchase 50% of the silver stream for $22.5 million at any time prior to the commencement of production at Springpole leaving the Company with a reduced silver stream of 25% of life of mine payable silver production.

The net book value of property, plant and equipment for La Parrilla, classified as an asset held-for-sale is $5.8 million (December 31, 2022 - $7.8 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the net book value of property, plant and equipment for La Parrilla includes a $2.1 million impairment charge (Note 14). La Guitarra was classified as an asset held-for-sale up to the date of disposition during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and as of June 30, 2023, the assets and liabilities have been derecognized (the net carrying value of the disposal group at December 31, 2022 was $4.0 million).
(2) Additions classified in "Other" primarily consist of innovation projects and construction-in-progress.

17. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Company entered into operating leases to use certain land, buildings, mining equipment and corporate equipment for its operations. The Company is required to recognize right-of-use assets representing its right to use these underlying leased assets over the lease term.

18. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSET

On March 20, 2023, the Company announced the temporary suspension of operations at the Jerritt Canyon Gold mine. Having considered the facts and circumstances including the temporary suspension of operations, heightened costs, and operating mine performance, the Company determined that impairment indicators existed for the Jerritt Canyon mine. IFRS accounting standards require an entity to assess its assets for indicators of impairment at the cash-generating unit level based on their individual recoverable amounts. After the Company identified an indicator of impairment for Jerritt Canyon, the Company assessed the recoverable value of the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine based on its FVLCD.

Key Assumptions

The FVLCD for Jerritt Canyon was determined using a multiple-based valuation method to estimate the value per in-situ ounce based on comparable market transactions. Valuation multiples applied to mineral resources and property, plant and equipment in the CGU, subject to impairment testing were determined as follows:

External valuation specialists were used to obtain a population of gold exploration, development and operating companies. The value of trading multiples for operating companies based on recent transactions was determined to be between $149 per ounce and $248 per ounce.
Management considered the $165 per ounce multiple to be the most reasonable estimate of the fair value of Jerritt Canyon, as companies in this range included companies in operations that had invested significantly in exploration, capital structure, an operating plant and had significant exploration potential.

The market approach used to determine FVLCD is significantly affected by changes in key assumptions of determining which population of comparable companies are most relevant and the price for these precedent transactions. In determining the comparability of public companies and precedent transactions, factors such as primary ore, location, stage of operations, reserves and resources, exploration potential, infrastructure, and accessibility for the underlying commodity were taken into consideration. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the key assumption being the population of comparable transactions and determined that a change in this assumption could lead to a different fair value of this asset. Management’s estimate of FVLCD is classified as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the inputs are not based on observable market data.

(Tabular amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars)
18. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSET (continued)

In prior periods, management utilized the discounted cash flow method as the valuation technique to determine the recoverable amount. Recoverable values were determined with internal discounted cash flow economic models projected using management’s best estimate of recoverable mineral reserves and resources, future operating costs, capital expenditures and long-term foreign exchange rates and corroborated by in situ value of its Reserves and Resources. As Jerritt Canyon does not currently have a mine plan to estimate future cash flows, the market approach was used during the current period to determine the FVLCD.

Based on the Company's assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Jerritt Canyon mine had an estimated recoverable value, based on its FVLCD, below its carrying value at March 31, 2023. As a result, the following impairment charge was recognized during the first quarter of 2023:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Impairment of non-current asset$125,200 
Deferred income tax recovery(31,237)
Impairment of non-current asset, net of tax$93,963 

With the exception of La Parrilla (Note 14), the Company determined there were no significant events or changes in circumstances to indicate that the carrying amount of its other non-current assets may not be recoverable, nor indicators that the recoverable amount of its previously impaired assets will exceed its carrying value. As such, no other impairment or impairment reversal were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022 - ($7.6) million).

The impairment charge recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023 with respect to the Jerritt Canyon operating segment, which was recorded during the first quarter of 2023, was allocated as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Mining interest - producing properties$78,128 
Mining interests - exploration properties (non-depletable)17,388

1.On November 2, 2021, the Company executed an agreement with the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection ("NDEP") relating to funds required to establish a trust agreement to cover post-closure water treatment cost at Jerritt Canyon. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company funded $17.7 million into a trust; these amounts are included within non-current restricted cash.
2.The Company owns an environmental risk transfer program (the "ERTP") for Jerritt Canyon from American Insurance Group ("AIG"). As part of the ERTP, $28.7 million is on deposit in an interest-bearing account with AIG (the "Commutation Account"). The Commutation Account principal plus interest earned on the principal is used to fund ongoing reclamation and mine closure obligations. The Company has elected to extinguish all rights under the policy releasing AIG from reclamation cost and financial assurance liabilities by replacing the policy with surety bonds on June 28, 2023. By releasing AIG from their liabilities they are required to return the remaining balance in the Jerritt Canyon Commutation Account. The NDEP and the USDA Forest Services ("USFS") have provided correspondence confirming their acceptance of the replacement surety bonds in the third quarter of 2023 therefore, the total of $28.7 million, has been re-classified to current restricted cash as of June 30, 2023. Upon receipt of these funds, the total current restricted cash balance of $28.7 million will be reclassified to cash and cash equivalents.         
3.In connection with the dispute between Primero Empresa Minera, S.A. de C.V. ("PEM") and the Servicio de Admistracion Tributaria ("SAT") in relation to the advanced pricing agreement (Note 26), the tax authority has frozen a PEM bank account with funds of $99.4 million (1,697 million MXN) as a guarantee against certain disputed tax assessments. This balance consists of Value Added Tax ("VAT") refunds that the Company has received which were previously withheld by the tax authority. The Company does not agree with SAT's position and has challenged it through the relevant legal channels.

(a)Convertible Debentures
Senior Convertible Debentures

On December 2, 2021, the Company issued $230 million of unsecured senior convertible debentures (the “Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of $222.8 million after transaction costs of $7.2 million. The Notes mature on January 15, 2027 and bear an interest rate of 0.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in January and July of each year.

The Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of 60.3865 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, representing an initial conversion price of $16.56 per common share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, holders of the Notes may be entitled to an increased conversion rate.

The Company may not redeem the Notes before January 20, 2025 except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after January 20, 2025 and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes for cash if the last reported share price of the Company’s common shares for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price is equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

21. DEBT FACILITIES (continued)

(a)Convertible Debentures (continued)

The Company is required to offer to purchase for cash all of the outstanding Notes upon a fundamental change, at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the fundamental change purchase date.

The component parts of the convertible debentures, a compound instrument, are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instrument is an equity instrument.

At initial recognition, net proceeds of $222.8 million from the Notes were allocated into its debt and equity components. The fair value of the debt portion was estimated at $180.4 million using a discounted cash flow model method with an expected life of five years and a discount rate of 4.75%. This amount is recorded as a financial liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method at an effective interest rate of 5.09% until extinguished upon conversion or at its maturity date.

The conversion option is classified as equity and was estimated based on the residual value of $42.3 million. This amount is not subsequently remeasured and will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share capital. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance will remain in equity reserves. Deferred tax liability of $11.4 million related to taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the convertible debenture was recognized in equity reserves.

Transaction costs of $7.2 million that relate to the issuance of the convertible debentures were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortized over the life of the convertible debentures using the effective interest method.


(b)     Revolving Credit Facility

On June 29, 2023, the Company amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with the Bank of Montreal, BMO Harris Bank N.A., Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto Dominion Bank, and National Bank of Canada ("syndicate") by extending the maturity date from March 31, 2025 to June 29, 2026 and increasing the credit limit from $100.0 million to $175.0 million. Interest on the drawn balance will accrue at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable range of 2.25% to 3.5% per annum while the undrawn portion is subject to a standby fee with an applicable range of 0.563% to 0.875% per annum, dependent on certain financial parameters of First Majestic. As at June 30, 2023, the applicable rates were 2.75% and 0.688% per annum, respectively.

21. DEBT FACILITIES (continued)

(b) Revolving Credit Facility (continued)

These debt facilities are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and are also secured by a first priority charge against the assets of the Company, and a first priority pledge of shares of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants, to be tested quarterly on a consolidated basis, requiring First Majestic to maintain the following: (a) a leverage ratio based on net indebtedness to rolling four quarters adjusted EBITDA of not more than 3.00 to 1.00; and (b) an interest coverage ratio, based on rolling four quarters adjusted EBITDA divided by interest payments, of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. The debt facilities also provide for negative covenants customary for these types of facilities and allows the Company to enter into finance leases, excluding any leases that would have been classified as operating leases in effect immediately prior to the implementation of IFRS 16 - Leases, of up to $50.0 million. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, as part of ongoing reclamation and mine closure obligations, the Company issued $25.4 million (2022 - $5 million) in letters of credit for a total outstanding commitment of $30.4 million. As at June 30, 2023 the undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility totals $124.6 million (December 2022- $75.0 million).


22. LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company has finance leases, operating leases and equipment financing liabilities for various mine and plant equipment, office space and land. Finance leases and equipment financing obligations require underlying assets to be pledged as security against the obligations and all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset being transferred to the Company. For operating leases, the Company controls but does not have ownership of the underlying right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Certain lease agreements may contain lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(b) Stock options (continued)
The weighted average closing share price at date of exercise for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was CAD$10.80 (December 31, 2022 - CAD$14.70).

(c) Restricted Share Units
On May 26, 2022, a new LTIP was adopted. The Company adopted the LTIP to allow the Company to grant to its directors, employees and consultants non-transferable Restricted Share Units ("RSU's") based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant. Unless otherwise stated, the awards typically have a graded vesting schedule over a three-year period and can be settled either in cash or equity upon vesting at the discretion of the Company. The Company intends to settle all RSU's in equity. Any RSU's granted prior to May 26, 2022 will be governed by the 2019 LTIP.

The associated compensation cost is recorded as share-based payments expense against equity reserves.

The following table summarizes the changes in RSU's for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022:

(d) Performance Share Units
On May 26, 2022, a new LTIP was adopted. The Company adopted the LTIP to allow the Company to grant to its directors, employees and consultants non-transferable Performance Share Units ("PSU's"). The amount of units to be issued on the vesting date will vary from 0% to 200% of the number of PSU’s granted, depending on the Company’s total shareholder return compared to the return of a selected group of peer companies. Unless otherwise stated, the awards typically vest three years from the grant date. The fair value of a PSU is based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant and will be adjusted based on actual units issued on the vesting date. The Company intends to settle all PSU's in equity. Any PSU's granted prior to May 26, 2022 will be governed by the 2019 LTIP.

The following table summarizes the changes in PSU's granted to employees and consultants for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022:

(e)     Deferred Share Units
The Company adopted the 2019 LTIP to allow the Company to grant to its directors, employees and consultants non-transferrable Deferred Share Units ("DSU's"), in addition to options, RSU's and PSU's. Unless otherwise stated, the DSU awards typically vest immediately at the grant date. The fair value of a DSU is based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant. The Company intends to settle all DSU's under the 2019 LTIP in equity.

On March 23, 2022, a new DSU plan was adopted ("2022 DSU Plan"). All DSU's issued under the 2022 DSU Plan will be settled in cash. There were 53,189 DSU's granted under the 2022 plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulting in a total expense of $0.3 million. As at June 30, 2023, there were a total of 62,332 DSU's outstanding, with a total liability of $0.4 million.

(f)     Share Repurchase Program and Share Cancellation
The Company has an ongoing share repurchase program to repurchase up to 5,000,000 of the Company's issued and outstanding shares up to March 31, 2024. The normal course issuer bid will be carried out through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and alternative Canadian marketplaces. All common shares, if any, purchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase will be cancelled. The Company believes that from time to time, the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and its future business prospects. The Company believes that at such times, the purchase of common shares would be in the best interest of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased an aggregate of nil common shares (December 2022 - 100,000) at an average price of CDN $nil per share as part of the Share Repurchase Program (December 2022 - $8.52) for total proceeds of $nil million (December 2022 - $0.7 million), net of transaction costs.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments and related risk management objectives, policies, exposures and sensitivity related to financial risks are summarized below.

(a)     Fair value and categories of financial instruments

Financial instruments included in the consolidated statements of financial position are measured either at fair value or amortized cost. Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to approximate amounts for which the instruments could be exchanged in an arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.

The Company uses various valuation techniques in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the extent to which the fair value is observable. The following fair value hierarchy is used to categorize and disclose the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held at fair value for which a valuation technique is used.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: All inputs which have a significant effect on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term.
Level 3: Inputs which have a significant effect on the fair value are not based on observable market data.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, marketable securities valued at $21.9 million have been transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 (there were no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 for the year ended December 31, 2022) due to the resumption of trading of Sierra Madre shares on the TSX Venture on June 5, 2023. Level 1 assets include those assets in which unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a)     Fair value and categories of financial instruments (continued)

The table below summarizes the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument:
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair ValueValuation Method
Marketable securities - common sharesMarketable securities and silver future derivatives are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets in an active market (Level 1) as at the date of statements of financial position. Marketable securities - stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model based on the observable market inputs (Level 2).
Marketable securities - stock warrants
Silver futures derivatives
  
Financial Instruments Measured at Amortized CostValuation Method
Cash and cash equivalentsApproximated carrying value due to their short-term nature
Restricted cash
Trade and other receivables 
Trade and other payables 
Debt facilitiesApproximated carrying value as discount rate on these
instruments approximate the Company's credit risk.


The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value:
 June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
  Fair value measurement Fair value measurement
 Carrying valueLevel 1Level 2Carrying valueLevel 1Level 2
Financial assets      
Marketable securities (Note 13)
$52,113 $50,478 $1,636 $34,528 $33,426 $1,102 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility to continue as a going concern while
optimizing growth and maximizing returns of investments from shareholders.

In 2022, an impairment reversal and impairment were recorded for the La Guitarra and La Parrilla mines, respectively, bringing the carrying value of the asset to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD. The valuation technique used in the calculation of this fair value is categorized as Level 2 as it is based on the implied selling price within the purchase agreement (Note 14). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, an impairment was recorded for the Jerritt Canyon mine bringing the carrying value of the asset to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD (Note 18). Management’s estimate of FVLCD is classified as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the inputs are not based on observable market data. During the period ended June 30, 2023, an additional write down was recorded for the La Parrilla mine, bringing the carrying value of the asset to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD. The valuation technique used in the calculation of the fair value of consideration receivable, is categorized as Level 2 as it is based on the selling price in the market (Note 14). At June 30, 2023, the sale of La Parrilla continues to be considered highly probable; therefore, La Parrilla continues to be classified as an asset held-for-sale.

(b) Capital risk management

The Company monitors its capital structure and based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may adjust the structure by repurchasing shares, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or retiring existing debt. The Company prepares annual budget and quarterly forecasts to facilitate the management of its capital requirements. The annual budget is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The capital of the Company consists of equity (comprising of issued capital, equity reserves and retained earnings or accumulated deficit), debt facilities, lease liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents as follows:

Less: cash and cash equivalents(160,235)(151,438)
 $1,470,884 $1,507,805 

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from operations. The Company expects that its available capital resources will be sufficient to carry out its development plans and operations for at least the next 12 months.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with covenants under the debt facilities (Note 21(b)) and lease liabilities (Note 22(b)). As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

(c) Financial risk management
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk relates primarily to chartered banks, trade receivables in the ordinary course of business, value added taxes receivable and other receivables.

As at June 30, 2023, net VAT receivable was $42.2 million (December 31, 2022 - $44.9 million), of which $25.1 million (December 31, 2022 - $21.6 million) relates to Minera La Encantada S.A. de C.V. ("MLE") and $21.5 million (December 31, 2022 - $17.7 million) relates to PEM, offset by VAT payable balances.

The Company sells and receives payment upon delivery of its silver doré and by-products primarily through three international customers. All of the Company's customers have good ratings and payments of receivables are scheduled, routine and fully received within 60 days of submission; therefore, the balance of trade receivables owed to the Company
in the ordinary course of business is not significant.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. With the exception to the above, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents.

The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities as at June 30, 2023 based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows:

At June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $237.2 million (December 31, 2022 – $202.9 million). Total available liquidity at June 30, 2023 was $361.8 million (December 31, 2022 - $277.9 million), including $124.6 million of undrawn revolving credit facility (December 31, 2022 - $75.0 million).

The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand, combined with cash flows from operations, to meet operating requirements as they arise for at least the next 12 months. If the Company needs additional liquidity to meet obligations, the Company may consider drawing on its debt facility, securing additional debt financing and/or equity financing.

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily relating to financial instruments that are denominated in Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos, which would impact the Company’s net earnings or loss. To manage foreign exchange risk, the Company may occasionally enter into short-term foreign currency derivatives, such as forwards and options, to hedge its cash flows.

The sensitivity of the Company’s net earnings or loss and comprehensive income or loss due to changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar is included in the table below:
 June 30, 2023
 Cash and cash equivalentsRestricted cashValue added taxes receivableOther financial assetsTrade and other payablesNet assets (liabilities) exposureEffect of +/- 10% change in currency

 $38,023 $99,433 $42,230 $1,968 ($62,087)$119,567 $11,957 

From time to time, the Company utilizes certain derivatives to manage its foreign exchange exposures to the Mexican Peso. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any gain or loss (2022 - gain of $0.5 million and $0.5 million) on fair value adjustments to its foreign currency derivatives. As at June 30, 2023, the Company does not hold any foreign currency derivatives ( December 31, 2022- $nil).

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on silver and gold, which have a direct and immediate impact on the value of its related financial instruments and net earnings. The Company’s revenues are directly dependent on commodity prices that have shown volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. The Company does not use long-term derivative instruments to hedge its commodity price risk to silver or gold.

The following table summarizes the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk and their impact on net earnings:
 June 30, 2023
 Effect of +/- 10% change in metal prices
 SilverGoldTotal
Metals in doré inventory$1,200 $445 $1,645 
 $1,200 $445 $1,645 

Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its short-term investments, debt facilities and lease liabilities. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. The Company’s interest-bearing financial assets comprise of cash and cash equivalents which bear interest at a mixture of variable and fixed rates for pre-set periods of time.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk on interest bearing liabilities is limited to its debt facilities and lease liabilities. Based on the Company’s interest rate exposure at June 30, 2023, a change of 25 basis points increase or decrease of market interest rate does not have a significant impact on net earnings or loss.

26. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

(a) Claims and Legal Proceedings Risks
The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these other matters may be resolved in a manner that is unfavourable to the Company which may result in a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, cash flow or results of operations. First Majestic carries liability insurance coverage and establishes provisions for matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated, however there can be no guarantee that the amount of such coverage is sufficient to protect against all potential liabilities. In addition, the Company may in the future be subjected to regulatory investigations or other proceedings and may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in a significant impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

(b) Primero Tax Rulings
When Primero, the previous owner of San Dimas acquired the San Dimas Mine in August 2010, it assumed the obligations under a Silver Purchase Agreement (“Old Stream Agreement”) that required its subsidiary PEM to sell exclusively to Wheaton Precious Metals ("WPMI") up to 6 million ounces silver produced from the San Dimas Mine, and 50% of silver produced thereafter, at the lower of: (i) the spot market price and (ii) $4.014 per ounce plus an annual increase of 1% (“PEM Realized Price”). In May 2018, the Old Stream Agreement was terminated between WPMI and STB in connection with the Company entering into a new stream agreement with WPMI concurrent with the acquisition of Primero by the Company.

In order to reflect the commercial terms and the effects of the Old Stream Agreement, for Mexican income tax purposes, PEM recognized the revenue on these silver sales based on the PEM Realized Price instead of at spot market prices.

To obtain tax and legal assurance that the Mexican tax authority, Servicio de Administración Tributaria ("SAT") would accept the PEM Realized Price as the transfer price to calculate Mexican income taxes payable by PEM, a mutually binding Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) was entered into with the SAT for taxation years 2010 to 2014. On October 4, 2012, the SAT confirmed that based on the terms of the APA, the PEM Realized Price could be used as PEM’s basis for calculating taxes owed for the silver sold under the Old Stream Agreement.

In February 2015, the SAT filed a legal process seeking to retroactively nullify the APA.

In 2019, the SAT issued reassessments for the 2010 to 2012 tax years in the total amount of $345.3 million (5,895 million MXN) inclusive of interest, inflation, and penalties. In 2021, the SAT also issued a reassessment against PEM for the 2013 tax year in the total amount of $182.4 million (3,114 million MXN) (collectively, the "Reassessments"). In 2023, the SAT issued reassessments for the 2014 and 2015 tax years in the total amount of $374 million (6,331 million MXN) inclusive of interest, inflation, and penalties. The Company believes that the Reassessments fail to recognize the applicability of a valid transfer pricing methodology. The major items in the Reassessments include determination of revenue based on silver spot market prices, denial of the deductibility of interest expense and service fees, SAT technical error related to double counting of taxes, and interest and penalties.

26. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)

(b) Primero Tax Rulings (continued)
The Company continues to defend the APA in the Mexican legal proceedings, and also requested resolution of the transfer price dispute pursuant to the Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”), under the relevant avoidance of double taxation treaties, between the competent tax authorities of Mexico, Canada, Luxembourg and Barbados. The SAT has refused to take the necessary steps under the MAP process contained in the three treaties. The Company believes that by its refusal, Mexico is in breach of its international obligations regarding double taxation treaties. Furthermore, the Company continues to believe that the APA remains valid and legally binding on the SAT.

The Company continues to pursue all available domestic and international remedies under the laws of Mexico and under the relevant tax treaties. Furthermore, as discussed further below, it has also made claims against Mexico under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) for violation of its international law obligations.

Domestic Remedies

In September 2020, the Company was served with a decision of the Federal Court seeking to nullify the APA granted to PEM. The Federal Court’s decision directs SAT to re-examine the evidence and basis for the issuance of the APA with retroactive effect, for the following key reasons:
(i) SAT’s errors in analyzing PEM’s request for the APA and the evidence provided in support of the request; and
(ii) SAT’s failure to request from PEM certain additional information before issuing the APA.

The Company filed an appeal of the decision to the Mexican Circuit Courts on November 30, 2020. Since two writs of certiorari were filed before the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice, on April 15, 2021, the Plenary of the Supreme Court i) admitted one of those writs, ii) requested the Circuit Court to send the appeal file and iii) assigned such writ to the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court for issuing the corresponding decision. Both writs of certiorari were withdrawn in December 2022. The challenge filed by the Company has been returned to the Mexican Circuit Courts and a decision may be issued within the second half of 2023.

The Company, in addition to challenging the SAT’s actions in the Mexican courts, is also pursuing resolution of its dispute through Mexico’s Federal Taxpayer Defense Attorney's Office (known as “PRODECON”).

International Remedies

i. NAFTA APA Claim
On March 2, 2021, the Company submitted a Request for Arbitration to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID"), on its own behalf and on behalf of PEM, based on Chapter 11 of NAFTA. On March 31, 2021, the Notice of Registration of the Request for Arbitration was issued by the ICSID Secretariat. Once the NAFTA Arbitration Panel (the “Tribunal”) was fully constituted on August 20, 2021 by the appointment of all three panel members, the NAFTA Arbitration Proceedings (the “NAFTA Proceedings”) were deemed to have been fully commenced. The first session of the Tribunal was held by videoconference on September 24, 2021 to decide upon the procedural rules which will govern the NAFTA Proceedings. The Tribunal issued Procedural Order No. 1 on October 21, 2021. Thereafter, on April 26, 2022, the Company submitted its Claimant’s Memorial including expert reports and witness statements to the Tribunal, and on November 25, 2022, Mexico submitted its Counter-Memorial. On January 4, 2023, the Company submitted a Request for Provisional Measures (the “PM Request”) to the Tribunal. Following a reply that was filed by Mexico on February 16th, a hearing regarding the request took place on March 13th. On May 26th, the Tribunal made its decision on the PM Request, partially granting the provisional measures set out in the request. On June 15th, the Company requested Mexico to comply with the Tribunal’s decision, and in response, on June 19th, Mexico filed a Revocation Request against the decision.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on July 21st, the Company filed its response to Mexico’s Revocation Request. The Company is now waiting for the Tribunal to render its decision on Mexico’s request, and expects that such a decision will be rendered by the end of the year.

26. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)

(b) Primero Tax Rulings (continued)

ii. NAFTA VAT Claim
On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a new Notice of Intent on its own behalf and on behalf of PEM under Chapter 11 of NAFTA to invite the Government of Mexico to engage in discussions to resolve the dispute regarding the ongoing denial of access to PEM’s VAT refunds ("NAFTA VAT Claim") within the stipulated 90-day consultation period. On June 29, 2023, the Company submitted its Request for Arbitration for the NAFTA VAT Claim to ICSID in order to preserve its legacy claim within NAFTA's applicable limitation period.

While the Company remains confident in its position with regards to its two NAFTA filings, it continues to engage the Government of Mexico in consultation discussions so as to amicably resolve these disputes.

If the SAT’s attempts to retroactively nullify the APA are successful, the SAT can be expected to enforce any Reassessments for 2010 through 2014 against PEM in respect of its sales of silver pursuant to the Old Stream Agreement. Such an outcome would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Should the Company ultimately be required to pay tax on its silver revenues based on spot market prices without any mitigating adjustments, the incremental income tax for the years 2010-2019 would be approximately $301.1 million (5,141 million MXN), before taking into consideration interest or penalties.

Based on the Company’s consultation with third party advisors, the Company believes PEM filed its tax returns in compliance with applicable Mexican law and, therefore, at this time no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

To the extent it is ultimately determined that the pricing for silver sales under the Old Stream Agreement is significantly different from the PEM Realized Price, and while PEM would have rights of appeal in connection with any reassessments, it is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

(c) La Encantada Tax Re-assessments

In December 2019, as part of the ongoing annual audits of the tax returns of Minera La Encantada S.A. de C.V. and Corporacion First Majestic S.A. de C.V., the SAT issued tax assessments for fiscal 2013 for corporate income tax in the amount of $29.7 million (507 million MXN) including interest, inflation and penalties. In December 2022, the SAT issued tax assessments to Minera La Encantada, S.A. de C.V. for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 for corporate income tax in the amount of $18.4 million (313 million MXN) and $231.0 million (3,943 million MXN). The major items relate to forward silver purchase agreement and denial of the deductibility of mine development costs and service fees. The Company continues to defend the validity of the forward silver purchase agreement and will vigorously dispute the assessments that have been issued. The Company, based on advice from legal and financial advisors, believes MLE’s tax filings were appropriate and its tax filing position is correct, therefore no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

(d) San Martin Tax Re-assessments

In 2023, as part of the ongoing annual audits of the tax returns of Minera El Pilon S.A. de C.V. ("MEP"), the SAT issued tax assessments for fiscal 2014 and 2015 for corporate income tax in the total amount of $24.3 million (415 million MXN) including interest, inflation and penalties. The major items relate to forward silver purchase agreement and denial of the deductibility of mine development costs. The Company continues to defend the validity of the forward silver purchase agreement and will vigorously dispute the assessments that have been issued. The Company, based on advice from legal and financial advisors, believes MEP’s tax filings were appropriate and its tax filing position is correct, therefore no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

(e) La Parrilla Tax Re-assessments

In 2023, as part of the ongoing annual audits of the tax returns of First Majestic Plata S.A. de C.V. ("FMP"), the SAT issued tax assessment for fiscal 2014 for corporate income tax in the total amount of $25.6 million (438 million MXN) including interest, inflation and penalties. The major items relate to forward silver purchase agreement and denial of the deductibility of mine development costs. The Company continues to defend the validity of the forward silver purchase agreement and will vigorously dispute the assessments that have been issued. The Company, based on advice from legal and financial advisors, believes FMP’s tax filings were appropriate and its tax filing position is correct, therefore no liability has been recognized in the financial statements.

(f) First Silver Litigation

In April 2013, the Company received a positive judgment on the First Silver litigation from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”), which awarded the sum of $93.8 million in favour of First Majestic against Hector Davila Santos (the “Defendant”) in connection with a dispute between the Company and the Defendant and his private company involving a mine in México (the “Bolaños Mine”) as set out further below. The Company received a sum of $14.1 million in June 2013 as partial payment of the judgment, leaving an unpaid amount of approximately $64.3 million (CAD$81.5 million). As part of the ruling, the Court granted orders restricting any transfer or encumbrance of the Bolaños Mine by the Defendant and limiting mining at the Bolaños Mine. The orders also require the Defendant to preserve net cash flow from the Bolaños Mine in a holding account and periodically provide to the Company certain information regarding the Bolaños Mine. After many years of domestic Mexican litigation, the enforceability of the British Columbia judgment was finally recognized by the Mexican Supreme Court in a written judgment on November 11, 2022. The Company has commenced collection actions in Mexico against the Defendant’s assets and continues to seek recovery of the balance against one of the Defendant’s assets located in the United States. Nonetheless, there can be no guarantee that the remainder of the judgment amount will be collected. Therefore, as at June 30, 2023, the Company has not accrued any of the remaining $64.3 million (CAD$81.5 million) unrecovered judgment in favour of the Company.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On August 3, 2023, the Company's board of directors approved the declaration of its quarterly common share dividend of $0.0051 per share, payable on or after August 31, 2023, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2023. These dividends were declared subsequent to the quarter-end and have not been recognized as distributions to owners during the period ended June 30, 2023.
