Did CDE Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
Coeur Mining opened 2025 with a transformational quarter, reporting adjusted earnings of $0.11 per share against a consensus estimate of negative $0.01, a beat of more than 1,566%, while revenue of $360.06 million cleared analyst expectations by nearly 15% and jumped 69% from the year-ago period. The single biggest catalyst was the mid-February closing of the SilverCrest acquisition, which brought the high-grade Las Chispas silver-gold mine in Mexico into the portfolio; despite contributing for only roughly six weeks, Las Chispas generated $58 million in metal sales and $91.80 million in free cash flow, helping push adjusted EBITDA to $148.92 million and expand the adjusted EBITDA margin to 41%. Consolidated silver production climbed 44% year-over-year to 3.7 million ounces, while gold output rose 7% to 86,766 ounces, aided by favorable realized prices of $2,635 per ounce for gold and $32.05 for silver. Management reaffirmed full-year guidance of 380,000 to 440,000 gold ounces and 16.7 to 20.3 million silver ounces, targeting over $700 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2025 and projecting quarterly free cash flow of $75 million to $100 million for the remainder of the year as debt reduction accelerates.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
Coeur reaffirmed full-year 2025 guidance of 380,000–440,000 ounces of gold and 16.7–20.3 million ounces of silver, representing increases of approximately 20% and 62% respectively compared to 2024 based on midpoint of guidance ranges. Guidance assumes $2,700/oz gold and $30/oz silver. The company expects to generate over $700 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2025 at much higher overall margins. Management projects average quarterly free cash flow of $75–$100 million for the remainder of 2025, enabling rapid debt reduction. Capital expenditures are guided at $187–$225 million (sustaining plus development), with exploration investment of $77–$93 million. General and administrative expenses are expected at $44–$48 million. Las Chispas guidance reflects 10.5 months of results following the February 14 closing.
