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, 2024 and 2023
 

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, 2024 and 2023 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, 2024 included 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"). On January 1, 2024, the Company amalgamated with Copper Mountain Mining Inc., Hudbay British Columbia Inc. and Rockcliff Metals Corp. ("Rockcliff") and continued carrying on business as Hudbay Minerals Inc. Following the amalgamation, the Company directly holds a 75% interest in Copper Mountain Mine (BC) Ltd. ("CMBC") and is the direct holder of all of Rockcliff's mineral properties. Mitsubishi Materials Corporation ("MMC"), an arms-length party, owns the remaining 25% interest in CMBC.

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's operations in British Columbia (Canada) produce copper with gold and silver by-products. Hudbay has a development 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") as issued by the IASB.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's material accounting policies are presented as note 3 in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements, in addition to the new standard noted below.

The Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements on May 13, 2024.


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, 2024 and 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, 2023.

3. New standards

New standards and interpretations adopted

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. The amendments have been adopted by the Company and the amendments did not result in any changes to the interim financial statements.

4. Acquisition of Copper Mountain Mining Corporation

On June 20, 2023, Hudbay acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Copper Mountain Mining Inc. (formerly, Copper Mountain Mining Corp., and referred to herein as "Copper Mountain"), as part of a court-approved plan of arrangement. At the time, Copper Mountain held 75% of CMBC, the entity that owns 100% of the Copper Mountain mine. MMC owns the remaining 25% interest in CMBC as a non-controlling interest.

As a result of the acquisition, Hudbay obtained control of Copper Mountain on June 20, 2023.

Management determined that the assets and processes comprised a business and therefore accounted for the transaction as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting.

Consideration transferred:

The purchase consideration paid by Hudbay was for 100% of the net assets of Copper Mountain and their 100% owned subsidiaries ("100% owned entities") and a 75% ownership in CMBC. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquired assets, net of the liabilities assumed is as follows:

       
Equity instruments (84,165,617 common shares of Hudbay) $ 436,687  
Cash   3,794  
Consideration transferred - June 20, 2023 $ 440,481  

The fair value of the common shares issued was based on Hudbay's listed share price of C$6.87 at the June 20, 2023 acquisition date. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Copper Mountain settled its outstanding restricted share units and performance share units through the issuance of shares and settled its stock options for replacement Hudbay options that were immediately settled in cash.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
 

Hudbay incurred acquisition related costs of $6,932 during the year ended December 31, 2023, mainly relating to external legal and advisory fees and due diligence costs, which were recorded in other expense in the consolidated income statements. In addition, Hudbay incurred share issuance costs of $188 and presented these as a deduction from share capital.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The fair value of the net assets was determined using a combination of market, income and cost methods. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was then computed at a 25% of the equity interest in CMBC.

The following presents the allocation of the final purchase price, resulting in recognized fair value amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: 

Fair value of net assets acquired / (liabilities) assumed   Final  
Cash and cash equivalent $ 14,483  
Trade and other receivables   19,110  
Inventories   47,875  
Prepaid expenses   3,096  
Other financial assets   8,495  
Property, plant and equipment   434,821  
Mineral properties   369,000  
Inventories - low grade stockpile   6,000  
Trade and other payables   (77,111 )
Advances from Hudbay   (3,421 )
Lease liabilities   (34,617 )
Other financial liabilities   (9,550 )
Long-term debt   (144,981 )
Environmental and other provisions   (12,702 )
Deferred tax liabilities   (148,246 )
Total fair value of net identifiable assets acquired $ 472,252  

The fair values of mineral properties, low grade stockpile and other property, plant and equipment have been determined based on an independent valuation, using a combination of market, income and cost methods. In particular, the fair values of the mineral properties and low grade stockpile have been calculated using significant judgements and estimates.

Trade receivables acquired as part of the acquisition have a fair value of $8,764 which is equal to their gross contractual value. Other receivables acquired have a fair value of $10,346 which is equal to their gross contractual value. Trade and other receivables are expected to be collected during the next 12 months.

Hudbay provided advances to Copper Mountain prior to the acquisition date, which have been recorded as a purchaser loan.

Hudbay recognized goodwill as a result of the acquisition as follows:


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, 2024 and 2023
 

    Final  
Total consideration transferred $ 440,481  
Non-controlling interest   106,976  
Less: value of net identifiable assets acquired   (472,252 )
Goodwill upon acquisition at June 20, 2023 $ 75,205  

The goodwill balance arose from the requirement to record deferred income tax liabilities measured at the tax effect of the difference between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax bases. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of operations have been consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition and included in the British Columbia operating segment.

5. Acquisition of Rockcliff Metals Corporation

On September 14, 2023, Hudbay acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Rockcliff, as part of a court-approved plan of arrangement. In doing so, Hudbay obtained control of Rockcliff on September 14, 2023.

Management determined that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in the Talbot exploration property and therefore accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition.

The purchase consideration paid was 2,675,324 Hudbay common shares and 517,460 Hudbay warrants. For asset acquisitions settled with equity, entities are required to record the net assets acquired based on the fair value of the assets received in exchange for the equity issued, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. Hudbay incurred acquisition related costs of $518 during the third quarter of 2023, mainly relating to external legal and advisory fees and due diligence costs, which were capitalized and included as a cost of acquiring the net assets.

The fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using a combination of income and cost methods. In particular, the fair values of the exploration property have been calculated using significant judgements and estimates. The following presents the fair value amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: 

Fair value of net assets acquired / (liabilities) assumed      
Cash and cash equivalents $ 270  
Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses   98  
Property, plant & equipment   33  
Exploration property   14,198  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (305 )
Advance from Hudbay   (548 )
Total fair value of net identifiable assets acquired $ 13,746

6. Revenue and expenses

(a) Revenue

Hudbay's revenue by significant product types:

    Three months ended March 31,  
    2024     2023  
Copper $ 285,156   $ 164,242  
Gold   178,130     74,926  
Zinc   14,931     19,842  
Silver   12,168     6,301  
Molybdenum   18,195     18,962  
Other   -     239  
Revenue from contracts   508,580     284,512  
Non-cash streaming arrangement items 1            
Amortization of deferred revenue - gold   16,448     5,392  
Amortization of deferred revenue - silver   10,572     5,580  
Amortization of deferred revenue - variable
consideration adjustments - prior periods
  (3,849 )   4,885  
    23,171     15,857  
Pricing and volume adjustments 2   20,902     13,345  
    552,653     313,714  
Treatment and refining charges   (27,664 )   (18,495 )
  $ 524,989   $ 295,219  

1 See note 17.

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 quotational pricing hedge derivative contracts and adjustments to originally invoiced weights and assays.

Consideration from the Company's stream agreements is considered variable (note 17). 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 2024, 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted in a decrease of revenue of $3,849 (March 31, 2023 - increase of revenue of $4,885).

      (b) Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets are reflected in the condensed consolidated interim statements of earnings as follows:

  $ 102,610   $ 93,955  

Agreements with communities recorded at amortized cost relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia operation which allow Hudbay to extract minerals over the useful life of the Constancia operation, carry out exploration and evaluation activities in the area and provide Hudbay with community support to operate in the region. 

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 Wheaton refund liability, 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.

14. Gold prepayment liability

        Gold prepayment liabilities are reflected in the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as follows:

Current $ 31,920   $ 28,902  
Non-current   60,236     61,433  
  $ 92,156   $ 90,335  

Hudbay has entered into leases which expire between 2024 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the drawdown rates for the Peru stream agreement for gold and silver were $817 and $14.56 per ounce, respectively (year ended December 31, 2023 - $820 and $15.26 per ounce, respectively).

The following table summarizes changes in deferred revenue:

Balance, January 1, 2023 $ 469,538  
Amortization of deferred revenue      
Liability drawdown   (72,424 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (4,885 )
Accretion on streaming arrangements      
Current year additions   26,387  
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (96 )
Balance, December 31, 2023 $ 418,520  
Amortization of deferred revenue (note 6a)      
Liability drawdown   (27,020 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   3,849  
Accretion on streaming arrangements (note 6d)      
Current year-to-date additions   6,000  
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   176  
Balance, March 31, 2024 $ 401,525  

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 2024, 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 a decrease in revenue of $3,849 and an increase of finance expense of $176 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - increase in revenue of $4,885 and a decrease of finance expense of $96).

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

    Mar. 31, 2024     Dec. 31, 2023  
Current $ 72,383   $ 87,672

1 Relates primarily to flow-through share premiums, restructuring costs and other non-capital provisions.

Decommissioning and restoration obligation ("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 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $5,269 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 an increase in long term, risk-free discount rates based on changes in Canadian bond yields, slightly offset by an increase in inflation rates. 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, 2024, decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities have been discounted to their present value at rates ranging from 3.34% to 5.19% per annum (December 31, 2023 - 3.01% to 4.86%), using pre-tax, risk-free interest rates that reflect the estimated maturity of each specific liability.

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.

1 Cash and cash equivalents, guaranteed investment certificates, restricted cash, 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 (level 2).

4 Derivatives are carried at their fair value, which is determined based on observable forward market commodity prices corresponding to the maturity of the contract (level 2),

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 13). Fair values have been determined using an applicable credit-risk adjusted discounted rate and foreign exchange rates (level 3).

7 Fair value of the senior unsecured notes (note 16a) has been determined using an applicable credit-risk adjusted discount rate (level 3).

8 Discounted value based on a risk adjusted discount rate.

9 The gold prepayment liability (note 14) is designated as fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option. Fair value is determined using observable gold forward prices corresponding to the delivery of gold ounces in the contract along with an estimate of credit-risk for similar instruments (level 3). 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, 2024 was a loss of $15 (year ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of $192).

10 Discounted value based on a market rate at inception of the applicable Wheaton contract for carrying value (note 13) and fair value using an applicable credit-risk adjusted discount rate (level 3).

11 Fair value of the senior secured revolving credit facility is valued using an applicable credit adjusted discount rate (level 3).

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.

(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.

As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Hudbay's net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing are as indicated below:

25. Segmented information

Hudbay has the following reportable segments identified by the individual mining operations of Manitoba, British Columbia, Peru, as well as Arizona which holds our Copper World project. Corporate and other activities are not considered an operating segment and are included as a reconciliation to total consolidated results. No results for the British Columbia segment are reflected in the prior period comparative figures as Copper Mountain acquisition closed on June 20, 2023. Corporate and other activities include the Company's exploration activities in Chile, Canada and the State of Nevada. These exploration entities are not individually significant, as they do not meet the minimum quantitative thresholds for standalone segment disclosure.
