HUDBAY MINERALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

 

1. Reporting entity

Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("HMI" or the "Company") is a company existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The address of the Company's principal executive office is 25 York Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("financial statements") of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 represent the financial position and the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "Hudbay").

Wholly owned subsidiaries as at March 31, 2023 and 2022 include HudBay Marketing & Sales Inc. ("HMS"), HudBay Peru Inc., HudBay Peru S.A.C. ("Hudbay Peru"), HudBay (BVI) Inc., Hudbay Arizona Inc, Copper World, Inc. ("Copper World") and Mason Resources (US) Inc. ("Mason").

Hudbay is a diversified mining company with long-life assets in North and South America. Hudbay's operations in Cusco (Peru) produce copper with gold, silver and molybdenum by-products. Hudbay's operations in Manitoba (Canada) produce gold with copper, zinc and silver by-products. Hudbay has an organic pipeline that includes copper development projects in Arizona and Nevada (United States), and a focused growth strategy on exploration, development, operation, and optimization of properties that Hudbay already controls, as well as other mineral assets that Hudbay may acquire that fit the Company's strategic criteria. The Company is governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and its shares are listed under the symbol "HBM" on the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores de Lima.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance:

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's accounting policies are presented as note 3 in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

The Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements on May 8, 2023.

(b) Use of judgements and estimates:

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Hudbay to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, in applying accounting policies that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions. The interim financial statements reflect the judgements and estimates outlined by Hudbay in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as noted below.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

 

(c) Estimation uncertainty:

The Company has assessed the economic impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and heightened social unrest following a change in Peru's political leadership in early December 2022 on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As at March 31, 2023, management has determined that the Company's ability to execute its medium and longer term plans and the economic viability of its assets (including the carrying value of its long-lived assets and inventory valuations) are not materially impacted.

In making this judgment, the Company has assessed various criteria including, but not limited to, existing laws, regulations, orders, disruptions and potential disruptions in our supply chain, disruptions in the markets for our products, commodity prices and foreign exchange prices and the actions that the Company has taken at its operations to protect the health and safety of its workforce and local community.

3. Reclassification of comparative amounts

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. Evaluation expense has been reclassified and presented within other expenses on the condensed consolidated interim income statements. Community agreement payments were previously included within acquisition of property, plant and equipment in the investing activities section of the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows and has now been reclassified to its own line within investing activities. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss, cash used in investing activities and net equity.

4. New standards

New standards and interpretations adopted

(a) Amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements

The amendments to IAS 1 amendments help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures. The adoption of the new standard effective January 1, 2023 did not impact the interim financial statements of the Company.

New standards issued but not yet effective

(b) Amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity has to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months. Classification is unaffected by the expectations that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. Lastly, the amendments clarify that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of adoption of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

5. Revenue and expenses

(a) Revenue

Hudbay's revenue by significant product types:

    Three months ended March 31,  
    2023     2022  
Copper $ 164,242   $ 208,989  
Zinc   19,842     66,426  
Gold   74,926     67,552  
Silver   6,301     6,621  
Molybdenum   18,962     9,194  
Other   239     2,437  
Revenue from contracts   284,512     361,219  
Non-cash streaming arrangement items 1            
Amortization of deferred revenue - gold   5,392     13,202  
Amortization of deferred revenue - silver   5,580     11,772  
Amortization of deferred revenue - variable
consideration adjustments - prior periods
  4,885     3,245  
    15,857     28,219  
Pricing and volume adjustments 2   13,345     1,264

Treatment and refining charges   (18,495 )   (12,083 )
  $ 295,219   $ 378,619  

1 See note 16.

2 Pricing and volume adjustments represent mark-to-market adjustments on initial estimate of provisionally priced sales, realized and unrealized changes to fair value of non-hedge derivative contracts and adjustments to originally invoiced weights and assays.

Consideration from the Company's stream agreements is considered variable (note 16). Gold and silver stream revenue can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the amount of precious metals to be delivered under the contract changes. As a result of changes in the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimate in the first quarter of 2023, the amortization rate by which deferred revenue is drawn down into income was adjusted and, as required, a variable consideration adjustment was made for all prior year stream revenues since the stream agreement inception date. This variable consideration adjustment resulted in an increase of revenue of $4,885 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022 - increase of revenue of $3,245).

    41,288     50,725  
  $ 228,726   $ 205,737  

The cost of inventories recognized as an expense, including depreciation, and included in cost of sales amounted to $204,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2022 - $261,174).

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Hudbay recognized a recovery of nil in cost of sales related to adjustments of the carrying value of Peru inventories to net realizable value (three months ended March 31, 2022 - recovery of $461). Adjustments of the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value were related to changes in commodity prices.

The increase in finished goods and work in progress inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily related to a buildup of copper concentrate in Peru caused by the protests and civil unrest in the southern Peru mining corridor early in the first quarter. However, these disruptions have abated since mid-February. Transportation of Constancia's concentrate and critical supplies has since returned to normal.

9. Intangibles and other assets

Intangibles and other assets of $48,002 (December 31, 2022 - $49,841) includes $43,404 of other assets (December 31, 2022 - $45,074) and $4,598 of intangibles (December 31, 2022 - $4,767).

Other assets represent the carrying value of certain future community costs that relate to agreements with communities near the Peru operations which allow Hudbay to extract or explore minerals over the useful life of Peru operations. The liability remaining for these costs is recorded in agreements with communities recorded at amortized cost (note 12). Amortization of the carrying amount is recorded in the condensed consolidated interim income statements within other expenses (note 5c) or exploration expenses, depending on the nature of the agreement.

Intangibles mainly represent computer software costs.

2 An inconsequential offsetting adjustment to the Mining properties December 31, 2022 cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization closing balance has been reflected in the current period. There is no impact to the carrying amount.

An indicator of impairment was identified in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of an updated life of mine ("LOM") plan for Peru which included updated costs reflecting recently experienced inflationary pressures. As such, management determined that a detailed impairment evaluation as at March 31, 2023 was required for the Peru CGU.

For the impairment test completed at March 31, 2023, Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal, ("FVLCD") was used to determine the recoverable amount since it is higher than value in use. FVLCD was calculated using discounted after-tax cash flows based on cash flow projections and assumptions in Hudbay's most current LOM. The fair value measurement in its entirety is categorized as Level 3 based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value.

LOM plans are based on optimized mine and processing plans and the assessment of capital expenditure requirements of a mine site. LOM plans incorporate management's best estimates of key assumptions which are discount rates, future commodity prices, production based on current estimates of recoverable reserves, future operating and capital costs, value of mineral resources not included in the LOM plan and future foreign exchange rates. The cash flows are for periods up to the date that production is expected to cease, which is 16 years for the Peru CGU.

The discount rate was based on the CGU's weighted average cost of capital, of which the two main components are the cost of equity and the after-tax cost of debt. Cost of equity was calculated based on the capital asset pricing model, incorporating the risk-free rate of return based on the US Government's marketable bond yields as at the valuation date, the Company's beta coefficient adjustment to the market equity risk premium based on the volatility of the Company's return in relation to that of a comparable market portfolio, plus a country risk premium, size premium and company-specific risk factor. Cost of debt was determined by applying an appropriate market indication of the Company's borrowing capabilities and the corporate income tax rate applicable to the segment's jurisdiction. A real discount rate of 7.00% for the Peru CGU was used to calculate the estimated after- tax discounted future net cash flows, commensurate with its individual estimated level of risk.

Commodity prices used in the impairment assessment were determined by reference to external market participant sources. The key commodity price for this assessment is the price of copper. Where applicable to each of the Group's CGUs, the cash flow calculations were based on estimates of future production levels applying forecasts for metal prices, which included forecasts for each year from 2023 to 2027 and long-term forecasts for years beginning in 2028. The cash flow calculations utilized a copper price of $3.75/lb starting in 2023. The cash flow calculations utilized a long-term copper price of $3.75/lb, and capital, operating and reclamation costs based on the most current LOM plans. A value of $210,000 was utilized to estimate the value of mineral resources not included in the LOM plan.

Expected future cash flows used to determine the FVLCD used in the impairment testing are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. Should management's estimate of the future not reflect actual events, impairments may be identified. This may have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Although it is reasonably possible for a change in key assumptions to occur, the possible effects of a change in any single assumption may not fairly reflect the impact on a CGU's fair value as the assumptions are inextricably linked. For example, a decrease in the assumed price of long-term copper could result in amendments to the mine plans which would partially offset the effect of lower prices. It is difficult to determine how all of these factors would interrelate; however, in deriving a recoverable amount, management believes all of these factors need to be considered. As of March 31, 2023, a reasonably possible change in one of the key assumptions, all else being equal, may cause the carrying value to exceed the recoverable amount.

Management determined that the fair value less cost to dispose exceeded the carrying value of the Peru CGU, accordingly no impairment was recorded.

Current $ 17,620   $ 16,156  
Non-current   39,045     44,863  
  $ 56,665   $ 61,019  

Hudbay has entered into leases which expire between 2023 and 2037. The interest rates on leases which were capitalized have interest rates between 2.39% and 8.49%, per annum. The range of interest rates utilized for discounting varies depending mostly on the Hudbay entity acting as lessee and duration of the lease. For certain leases, Hudbay has the option to purchase the equipment and vehicles leased at the end of the terms of the leases. Hudbay's obligations under these leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. The present value of applicable lease payments has been recognized as an ROU asset, which was included as a non-cash addition to property, plant and equipment, and a corresponding amount as a lease liability.

There are no restrictions placed on Hudbay by entering into these leases.

The following outlines expenses recognized within the Company's condensed consolidated interim income statements, relating to leases for which a recognition exemption was applied.

    Three months ended March 31,  
    2023     2022  
Short-term leases $ 1,175   $ 11,770  
Low value leases   112     204  
Variable leases   6,394     10,437

As at March 31, 2023, the Manitoba segment had $56,763 in letters of credit issued under the LC Facility to support its reclamation and pension obligations.

16. Deferred revenue

Peru Stream Agreement

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the drawdown rates for the Peru stream agreement for gold and silver were $820 and $15.26 per ounce, respectively (year ended December 31, 2022 - $734 and $14.95 per ounce, respectively).

777 Stream Agreement

As of September 30, 2022 all of 777's precious metals reserves and inventory levels have been depleted and we expect no further drawdown of deferred revenue. 

As part of the streaming agreement for the 777 mine, Hudbay must repay, with precious metals credits, the stream deposit by August 1, 2052, the expiry date of the agreement. If the stream deposit is not fully repaid with precious metals credits from 777 production by the expiry date, a payment for the remaining amount will be due at the expiry date of the agreement. As the 777 mine has concluded all mining activities following the depletion of reserves and finalized the sales of produced concentrate, Hudbay concluded that the remaining stream deposit will not be repaid by means of precious metals credits from 777 production. The repayment amount is recorded as a refund liability (note 12), which is and will be discounted at the 9.0% rate inherent in the original 777 stream agreement and accreted over the remaining term of the agreement.

Balance, January 1, 2022 $ 515,326  
Amortization of deferred revenue      
Liability drawdown   (72,229 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (959 )
Accretion on streaming arrangements      
Current year additions   28,718

Amortization of deferred revenue (note 5a)      
Liability drawdown   (10,972 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (4,885 )
Accretion on streaming arrangements (note 5d)      
Current year-to-date additions   6,597  
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (96 )
Balance, March 31, 2023 $ 460,182  

Consideration from the Company's stream agreement is considered variable. Gold and silver stream revenue can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the number of ounces to be delivered under the contract changes. As a result of changes in the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimate in the first quarter of 2023 the amortization rate by which deferred revenue is drawn down into income was adjusted and, as required, a current period variable adjustment was made for all prior period stream revenues since the stream agreement inception date. This variable consideration adjustment resulted in an increase in revenue of $4,885 and a decrease of finance expense of $96 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - increase in revenue of $959 and an decrease of finance expense of $940).

Deferred revenue is reflected in the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as follows:

1 Relates primarily to restructuring costs and other non-capital provisions.

DRO are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in discount rates, exchange rates, and timing and extent of cash outflows which can significantly affect the liabilities. This provision has been recorded based on estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, actual decommissioning and restoration costs may differ from expectations.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $8,240 in the condensed consolidated interim income statements mainly related to a revaluation adjustment to the Flin Flon operation's environmental reclamation provision. The current quarter was impacted by a decrease in implied inflation rates, partially offset by decreases in long term, risk-free discount rates based on changes in Canadian bond yields. Typically, an operating location will reflect any revaluation adjustments to the environmental reclamation provision against its reclamation assets. However, as the Flin Flon operations closed in June 2022, the corresponding Flin Flon assets have been fully depreciated and cannot be reduced below residual value resulting in the remaining impact being recorded as a gain in the condensed consolidated interim income statements.

As at March 31, 2023, decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities have been discounted to their present value at rates ranging from 2.88% to 4.32% per annum (December 31, 2022 - 3.26% to 4.75%), using pre-tax, risk-free interest rates that reflect the estimated maturity of each specific liability.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $79,856 in the condensed consolidated interim income statements mainly related to a revaluation adjustment to the Flin Flon operation's environmental reclamation provision. The first quarter revaluation was substantially impacted by an increase in long term, risk-free discount rates based on changes in Canadian bond yields

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

2 Excludes tax and other statutory amounts.

3 Trade and other receivables contain receivables including provisionally priced receivables classified as FVTPL and various other items at amortized cost. The fair value of provisionally priced receivables is determined using forward metals prices which is a level 2 valuation method.

4 Derivatives are carried at their fair value, which is determined based on internal valuation models that reflect observable forward market commodity prices, currency exchange rates, and discount factors based on market US dollar interest rates adjusted for credit risk.

5 All investments are carried at their fair value, which is determined using quoted market bid prices in active markets for listed shares.

6 These financial liabilities relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia project in Peru (note 12). Fair values have been determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on expected cash flows and a credit adjusted discount rate.

7 Fair value of the senior unsecured notes (note 15) has been determined using the quoted market price at period end.

8 Discounted value based on a risk adjusted discount rate.

9 The gold prepayment liability (note 13) is designated as fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option. Gains and losses related to the Company's own credit risk have been recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value adjustment recorded in other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a gain of $15 (year ended December 31, 2022 was a gain of $512).

10 Discounted value based on a market rate at inception of the applicable Wheaton contract for carrying value (note 16) and current market rate at period end for fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below provides an analysis by valuation method of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to recognition as well as financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which a fair value is disclosed. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

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

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

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

 

The Company's policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, Hudbay did not make any such transfers.

Valuation techniques used for instruments categorized in Levels 2 and 3 are consistent with the year ended December 31, 2022.

(b) Derivatives and hedging:

Copper fixed for floating swaps

Hudbay enters into copper fixed for floating swaps in order to manage the risk associated with provisional pricing terms in copper concentrate sales agreements. As at March 31, 2023, Hudbay had 51.6 million pounds of net copper swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $3.93/lb and settling from April to August 2023. As at December 31, 2022, Hudbay had 89.7 million pounds of net copper swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $3.61/lb and settling from January to May 2023. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at March 31, 2023 was a liability of $7,874 (December 31, 2022 - a liability position of $17,269).

Zinc fixed for floating swaps

Hudbay enters into zinc fixed for floating swaps in order to manage the risk associated with provisional pricing terms in zinc concentrate sales agreements. As at March 31, 2023, Hudbay had 12.7 million pounds of net zinc swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $1.41/lb and settling from April to June 2023. As at December 31, 2022, Hudbay had 17.5 million pounds of net zinc swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $1.32/lb and settling from January to March 2023. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at March 31, 2023 was an asset of $988 (December 31, 2022 - a liability position of $149).

Transactions involving derivatives are with large multi-national financial institutions that Hudbay believes to be credit worthy.

(c) Provisionally priced receivables

Changes in fair value of provisionally priced receivables

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

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

On April 13, 2023, Hudbay entered into an agreement with Copper Mountain Mining Corporation ("Copper Mountain") pursuant to which Hudbay will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Copper Mountain (the "Proposed Transaction").

Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, Copper Mountain shareholders will receive 0.381 of a Hudbay common share for each Copper Mountain common share held, representing approximately C$2.67 per Copper Mountain common share and a $439 million equity value based on Hudbay's closing share price on April 12, 2023. The Proposed Transaction will be implemented by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and, in addition to court approval, is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Hudbay and Copper Mountain shareholders and approval under the Competition Act (Canada). The Proposed Transaction is expected to close by late June 2023.
