Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

 

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

SSR Mining Inc. (the "Company" or "SSR Mining") is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in Canada and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (NASDAQ) in the United States under the symbol "SSRM" and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in Australia under the symbol "SSR".

 

The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") are principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in Turkey and the Americas. The Company has four producing mines in Argentina, Canada, Turkey and the United States. SSR Mining Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Group.

 

The Company's focus is on safe, profitable gold and silver production from its Çöpler Gold Mine ("Çöpler") in Erzincan, Turkey, Marigold mine ("Marigold") in Nevada, USA, Seabee Gold Operation ("Seabee") in Saskatchewan, Canada and Puna Operations ("Puna") in Jujuy, Argentina, and to advance, as market and project conditions permit, its principal development projects toward commercial production.

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Alacer Gold Corp. ("Alacer"). The Company determined that the transaction represented a business combination under IFRS 3, with SSR Mining identified as the acquiror. Based upon the September 15, 2020 closing share price of the Company's common shares, the total consideration of the acquisition was $2.2 billion.

 

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration transferred was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition.

 

Significant Developments During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

COVID-19 Response and Impact on Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact global economic and financial markets, disrupting global supply chains and workforce participation. Many industries and businesses, including SSR Mining, continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and face operating challenges associated with the regulations and guidelines resulting from efforts to contain COVID-19.

 

The Company continues to restrict all non-essential travel and manage the contacts of its employees and contractors in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 impacting its operations. The Company is operating its corporate offices at reduced capacity, with most employees working remotely.

 

The Company's mine sites remain operational with carefully managed COVID-19 based restrictions designed to protect employees, including quarantining, testing, ensuring physical distancing and providing additional protective equipment. In Turkey, COVID-19 continues to slow government processes including permitting, with considerable effort being expended to attain permits and land access for continued growth and operations.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a)Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Except as described in note 2(b), the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

These statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 4, 2021.

 

(b)Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 Amendments

 

The Company adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (the "Phase 2 Amendments") effective on January 1, 2021. Interest rate benchmark reform ("Reform") refers to a global reform of interest rate benchmarks, which includes the replacement of some interbank offered rates ("IBOR") with alternative benchmark rates. The Phase 2 Amendments provide a practical expedient requiring the effective interest rate be adjusted when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities that relate directly to the Reform rather than applying modification accounting which might have resulted in a gain or loss. In addition, the Phase 2 Amendments require disclosures to assist users in understanding the effect of the Reform on the Company's financial instruments and risk management strategy.

 

The Company has the following financial instruments indexed to London interbank offered rates ("LIBOR") that have not yet transitioned to alternative benchmark rates at the end of the current reporting period:

 

 

Financial instrument 

Carrying

amount

Term Loan  $192,500 
Interest rate swap contracts   1,190 
Credit Facility   —   

 

The Company maintains a Term Loan which bears interest at the three month USD LIBOR plus a fixed interest rate margin ranging from 3.50% to 3.70% depending on the tranche and which is expected to be fully repaid in December 2023. The Company is currently working with the syndicate of lenders to assess the potential alternatives to the use of LIBOR.

 

The Company also maintains LIBOR interest rate swap contracts with underlying notional amounts of approximately 33% of the outstanding Term Loan balance as at March 31, 2021 through December 22, 2021. Considering the short term to maturity of the interest rate swap contracts, as well as the current expected timing of changes to alternative benchmark rates, the Company does not expect to transition to an alternative benchmark rate.

 

The Company further maintains a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a $25.0 million accordion feature, for which amounts borrowed incur variable interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.75% based on the Company's net leverage ratio, among other things. The Credit Facility matures in June 2021. Considering the short term to maturity of the Credit Facility, as well as the current expected timing of changes to alternative benchmark rates, the Company does not expect to transition to an alternative benchmark rate.

3.AREAS OF JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company makes judgments in applying its accounting policies. In addition, the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates that may affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes in future periods. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policy judgments and areas of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 3 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Total share-based compensation expense, including all equity and cash-settled arrangements, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

 

   Three months ended March 31,
   2021  2020
Equity-settled      
Production costs  $282   $68 
Share-based compensation expense (recovery)   731    1,145

   $(1,699)  $(3,258)

Under the Company's share compensation plans, there is the option to settle vested Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") in either cash or common shares. On February 10, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors indicated its intention to settle all the RSUs issued under the Company's plans, when vested, in common shares of SSR Mining. Prior to this date, based on a past history of settling RSUs in cash, the Company had accounted for these awards as liabilities. As a result of this change, the value of the relevant outstanding RSUs was fixed at the date of modification and the existing liability of $8,802,000 ($6,426,000 net of tax) was transferred to the share-based compensation reserve of shareholders' equity. The unamortized portion of $8,074,000 relating to these RSUs will be amortized over the remaining vesting periods.

11.OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

Results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Each individual operating mine site is considered to be a reportable operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Alacer on September 16, 2020, the Company added Çöpler as a new operating segment.

 

The following is a summary of the reported amounts of income from mine operations, operating income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities by operating segment:

While the operations were suspended, the Company continued to perform care and maintenance activities and incurred incremental costs as a result. These incremental costs do not relate to producing or selling metal concentrate or gold, and therefore they have been identified and presented separately within operating income (loss).

 

12.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

(a) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

 

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:

 

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

 

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

 

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
