TSX: GPR
NYSE MKT: GPL
VANCOUVER, Nov. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Great Panther Silver Ltd. (TSX: GPR; NYSE MKT: GPL) ("Great Panther"; the "Company") today reported financial results for the Company's three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The full version of the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements), and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") can be viewed on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com, or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All shareholders can receive a hard copy of the Company's complete audited financial statements free of charge upon request. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS, except as noted under the Non-IFRS Measures section.
Great Panther commenced reporting its financial results in US dollars as of the third quarter of 2016. Accordingly, all dollar amounts expressed in this news release, and the associated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, are in US dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise noted. Prior periods were reported in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), and have been restated to USD using the July 1, 2016 CAD/USD exchange rate of 1.3052. Accordingly, all dollar amounts expressed in this news release, and the associated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, are in USD, unless otherwise noted.
"Great Panther's third quarter mine operating earnings, operating cash flow and net income all showed significant increases over the third quarter of 2015, reflecting improved metal prices and favourable foreign exchange rates," stated Robert Archer, President and CEO. "In addition, we have seen a significant increase in operating cash flow on a year-to-date basis that, along with the completion of a $29.9 million bought deal financing in July, has contributed to a significant strengthening of our balance sheet. The Company also continues to be debt free."
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company generated $7.2 million in mine operating earnings before non-cash items, and $4.2 million in operating cash flows before changes in non-cash net working capital, which represent increases of 64% and 254%, respectively, over the results from the third quarter of 2015. These strong operating results were primarily attributable to a 22% increase in revenue and a slight decrease in cost of sales. The Company reported net income of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2016, and adjusted EBITDA increased by 197% to $4.7 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $39.2 million from the start of the year to $52.9 million at September 30, 2016, and net working capital increased by $42.8 million to $68.2 million. The increases in cash and net working capital are largely a function of the $29.9 million bought deal offering that was completed in July, significantly improved cash flows from operating activities, and other financing activities.
Any references to "cash costs" in this news release should be understood to mean cash costs per payable silver ounce, net of by-products ("cash cost"). This news release also makes reference to cash cost per silver equivalent ounce ("cash cost per Ag eq oz"), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, cost of sales before non-cash items, mine operating earnings before non-cash items, all-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce ("AISC") and all-in sustaining cost per Ag eq oz ("AISC per Ag eq oz"). These are all considered non-IFRS measures. Please refer to the Non-IFRS Measures section of the MD&A for an explanation of these measures and reconciliations to the Company's reported financial results.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2016
Revenue increased by $2.8 million or 22% relative to the third quarter of 2015. This was primarily attributable to the increase in precious metal prices, as the average realized silver and gold prices for the quarter increased to $19.65/oz and $1,326/oz, from $13.98/oz and $1,069/oz, respectively. The positive impact of metal prices contributed an estimated $4.1 million increase in revenue. In addition, smelting and refining charges, which are netted against revenue, were $0.2 million lower than in the third quarter of 2015. These positive factors were partly offset by a 7% decrease in metal sales volumes, which had an estimated effect of reducing revenue by $1.2 million, relative to the third quarter of 2015. The lower metal sales volume was predominantly the result of the lower gold grades at the Guanajuato Mine Complex (the "GMC"), as well as a decrease in production at the Topia Mine ("Topia") due to two temporary shut-downs of operations during the quarter. The Company sold 864,605 Ag eq oz during the third quarter of 2016, compared to 931,198 during the same period in 2016; a reduction of 7%.
Cost of sales before non-cash items, when compared to the third quarter of 2015, remained relatively unchanged as the 7% reduction in metal sales volumes more than offset a 5% increase in cash cost per Ag eq oz sold.
The $2.8 million increase in revenue translated into a $2.8 million increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items.
Exploration, evaluation and development ("EE&D") decreased by $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2015. During the comparative period, the Company undertook significant exploration programs related to two projects, while project exploration activity was significantly less in the third quarter of 2016. This reduction in project exploration and evaluation expenses was partly offset by an increase in mine development expenses at the GMC.
Finance and other expense amounted to $0.9 million, compared to finance and other income of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2015. Finance and other expense (income) mostly comprised foreign exchange gains/losses. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a $0.9 million foreign exchange loss, compared to a $0.5 million foreign exchange gain recorded during the same period in 2015. The foreign exchange gains and losses arise primarily due to the impact of the revaluation of foreign currency denominated working capital balances to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates.
Net income amounted to $2.1 million, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2015. The positive variance is primarily due to a $5.9 million increase in mine operating earnings. This factor was partly offset by the foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million increased compared to $1.6 million in the same period of 2015. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items, a $0.2 million decrease in EE&D expenses (net of changes in non-cash share based compensation and changes in estimate of reclamation provisions) and a $0.1 million decrease in G&A expenses before non-cash items.
CASH COST AND ALL-IN SUSTAINING COST
Cash cost was $3.30 for the third quarter of 2016, a 49% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in cash cost was predominantly the result of higher gold by-product credits per payable silver ounce as a result of an increase in average realized gold prices. In addition, the strengthening of the USD compared to the Mexican peso ("MXN") reduced cash operating costs in USD terms. These factors were partly offset by higher MXN unit production costs and the impact of lower payable silver ounces, both of which were attributable in part to the lower production grades.
Cash cost per Ag eq oz was $10.99, a 5% increase over the third quarter of 2015. The increase in cash cost per Ag eq oz was predominantly the result of 7% lower sales volumes which had the effect of increasing fixed production cost on a per-unit basis.
AISC for the third quarter of 2016 was $11.97, an 8% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the reduction in cash cost described above. The impact of the lower cash cost was partly offset by the impact of an increase in sustaining capital expenditure and lower payable silver ounces which further increased sustaining capital expenditures on a per-unit basis.
AISC per Ag eq oz was $15.43, an 8% increase compared to the third quarter of 2015. This was mainly attributable to the 5% increase in cash cost per Ag eq oz described above.
Please refer to the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion of cash cost, cash cost per Ag eq oz, AISC, and AISC per Ag eq oz, and for a reconciliation to the Company's financial results as reported under IFRS.
OUTLOOK
The Company is maintaining its cash cost and AISC guidance for the year ending December 31, 2016 as shown in the table below. AISC for the fourth quarter of 2016 is expected to be higher than the $9.23 for the first nine months of 2016, due to the impact of capital expenditure and development programs including the Topia tailings dam Phase II construction which commenced in the third quarter of 2016.
| Production and cash cost guidance | Nine months ended | FY 2016 Guidance | FY 2015 Actual | |||
| Total silver equivalent ounces1 | 3,001,188 | 4,000,000 - 4,200,000 | 4,159,121 | |||
| Cash cost2 | $ | 2.96 | $ | 4.00 – 6.00 | $ | 7.50 |
| AISC2 | $ | 9.23 | $ | 12.00 – 14.00 | $ | 13.76 |
| Exploration drilling – operating mines (metres) | 8,912 | 18,500 | 17,680 | |||
The timing of permitting-related matters and construction of the Topia tailings dam expansion and related reviews of the existing tailings facility present some risk that the Company may not meet its production guidance for 2016. The Company believes it can manage the transition to the new tailings facility without an impact to its 2016 production guidance. Please refer to the Topia Development section of the Company's MD&A for further details.
The Company's previously-announced guidance for capital expenditures and EE&D expenses for the year ending December 31, 2016 remains unchanged (although now presented in USD in order to be consistent with the change to USD presentation currency for the Company's financial results).
| Capex and EE&D expense guidance (in millions) | Nine months ended | FY 2016 Guidance | FY 2015 Actual3 |
| Capital expenditures – buildings, plant & equipment | $ 2.6 | $ 2.6 – 3.8 | $ 2.5 |
| Capitalized development costs – operating mines | $ 0.3 | $ 0.4 | $ 2.5 |
| EE&D – operating mines | $ 2.2 | $ 5.3 – 6.0 | $ 3.5 |
| Exploration and evaluation expense – Coricancha | $ 1.4 | $ 0.8 – 2.3 | $ 2.1 |
