Insights

First Majestic delivers exceptional Q1 with record revenue, production, and cash position, driven by Cerro Los Gatos acquisition and higher silver prices.

First Majestic's Q1 2025 financial results demonstrate transformative performance, setting multiple records across key metrics. The 130% year-over-year revenue jump to $243.9 million stems from two primary catalysts: the strategic acquisition of Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (contributing $90.5 million in revenue) and the 37% increase in realized silver prices to $32.50 per ounce.

The company's operational excellence is evident in the 88% increase in silver production to 3.7 million ounces, while simultaneously reducing costs with AISC improving 11% to $19.24 per silver equivalent ounce. This combination of volume growth and margin expansion has powered record cash flows, with operating cash flow before working capital reaching $110 million versus just $12.6 million a year ago.

Most impressive is the balance sheet transformation. The company now holds a record $462.6 million cash position ($351.3M cash + $111.3M restricted) and $404.8 million in working capital. This financial flexibility provides significant optionality for future investments or shareholder returns, which the company has already begun implementing through both dividends and share repurchases.

While headline net earnings of $6.2 million might appear modest relative to the operational performance, this reflects substantial non-cash depletion charges of $62.4 million and acquisition costs. The adjusted earnings of $20.9 million ($0.05 per share) provide a clearer picture of the underlying operational strength.

The 70% ownership structure of Cerro Los Gatos is particularly important in this narrative, as it has immediately proved accretive by contributing $27.6 million in mine operating earnings during the abbreviated period since the January 16 acquisition date. The company has successfully diversified its production base while maintaining cost discipline across operations.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2025) - First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"Our robust production for Q1 has yielded strong financial performance for the quarter," said Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO.

Our focus remains to deliver on our commitments in producing safe and profitable ounces."

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company generated record quarterly revenue of $243.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 with 57% derived from silver sales, a 130% increase compared to $106.0 million of revenue generated in the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a 64% increase in payable AgEq ounces sold, driven by the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine to the Company's portfolio of producing mines in Mexico on January 16, 2025, which contributed $90.5 million in revenue, along with improved production at San Dimas, which contributed $60.0 million in revenue. Further, the average realized silver price increased to $32.50 per ounce, representing a 37% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.

At the end of the quarter, the Company reported the highest cash and restricted cash balance in its history of $462.6 million consisting of $351.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $111.3 million in restricted cash. This represents an increase of 50% compared to $308.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 consisting of $202.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $106.1 million in restricted cash. Additionally, working capital reached a record high of $404.8 million, representing an 80% increase compared to $224.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Mine operating earnings for the quarter increased significantly to a record $63.8 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in mine operating earnings was primarily attributed to the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine, which has contributed $27.6 million in mine operating earnings since the Company acquired the mine on January 16, 2025. Additionally, the strong performance at San Dimas and Santa Elena increased mine operating earnings by an additional $14.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Operating cash flow before changes in working capital and taxes in the quarter was a record $110.0 million, representing a significant increase compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. This was primarily driven by a $64.1 million increase in mine operating earnings compared to the first quarter of 2024, resulting from the addition of the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine as well as strong performances at San Dimas and Santa Elena.

EBITDA for the quarter was a record $98.8 million, representing a significant increase compared to $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in EBITDA was primarily attributable to an increase in mine operating earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities and acquisition costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $109.7 million, representing a significant increase compared to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.

The Company reported net earnings for the quarter of $6.2 million (EPS of $0.01) compared to a net loss of $13.6 million (EPS of ($0.05)) in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributed to the higher mine operating earnings compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a non-cash depletion expense of $62.4 million (EPS of (0.16)), compared to $25.8 million (EPS of (0.09)) in the first quarter of 2024, a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $7.7 million (EPS of ($0.02)), compared to a non-cash deferred income tax recovery of $10.8 million (EPS $0.04) in the first quarter of 2024, as well as $5.6 million (EPS of (0.01)) in acquisition costs incurred as a result of the Company's acquisition of Gatos Silver, Inc. On January 16, 2025.

Adjusted net earnings normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities, acquisition costs and deferred income tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $20.9 million (adjusted EPS of $0.05), representing a 213% increase compared to adjusted net loss of $18.4 million (adjusted EPS of ($0.06)) in the first quarter of 2024.

The Company's total capital expenditures in the first quarter were $51.0 million, representing an 81% increase compared to $28.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, as capital expenditures at Cerro Los Gatos were included for the first time. Total capital expenditures mainly consisted of $23.1 million for underground development (2024 - $13.3 million), $15.5 million in exploration (2024 - $9.9 million), and $8.2 million in property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") (2024 - $5.0 million).

(1) Cerro Los Gatos production was from January 16, 2025 to March 31, 2025 (74 days). All production and non-GAAP results shown in the table above are reported on an attributable basis to account for the Company's 70% ownership of the Cerro Los Gatos mine through its joint venture ownership of the mine.
(2) The metal prices that were used to calculate the silver equivalent ounces were, silver: $31.91/oz, gold: $2,862/oz, lead: $0.89/lb., zinc: $1.29/lb.
(3) Attributable silver equivalent ounces for Cerro Los Gatos includes 12,492,869 lbs. zinc and 7,487,065 lbs. lead (70%).

 

The Company produced 7.7 million attributable AgEq ounces in Q1 2025 representing a 49% increase when compared to 5.2 million AgEq ounces produced in Q1 2024.

Furthermore, the Company reported record quarterly silver production of 3.7 million silver ounces representing an 88% increase when compared to 2.0 million silver ounces produced in Q1 2024. Total silver production in the quarter included 1.4 million ounces of attributable silver production from Cerro Los Gatos as well as a notable 17% (0.2 million ounce) increase at San Dimas primarily due to operational improvements.

Consolidated cash cost per AgEq ounce for the quarter was $13.68, representing a 9% improvement compared to $15.00 per ounce in Q1 2024, and 6% below the mid-point of the Company's 2025 cost guidance. The decrease in cash costs was primarily due to an increase in attributable production of 2.5 million AgEq ounces during the quarter following the acquisition of Cerro Los Gatos on January 16, 2025 along with an 11% increase in AgEq production at San Dimas as a result of operational efficiencies and an increase in mine and plant throughput rates.

Overall, cost efficiency initiatives, along with the weakening Mexico peso relative to the US dollar, which averaged 20% lower compared to the first quarter of 2024, contributed to further reductions in operating and administrative costs per AgEq ounce compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Consolidated AISC per AgEq ounce in the first quarter was $19.24, representing an 11% improvement compared to $21.53 per AgEq ounce in Q1 2024, and 7% below the mid-point of 2025 cost guidance. The decreased AISC was primarily attributable to lower cash costs, along with a 51% decrease in sustaining development costs per AgEq ounce compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a 24% increase in sustaining PP&E investment compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Q1 2025 DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT

The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.0045 per common share for the first quarter of 2025. The dividend will be paid to holders of record of First Majestic's common shares as of the close of business on May 16, 2025, and will be paid out on or about May 30, 2025.

Under the Company's dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 1% of the Company's net quarterly revenues divided by the Company's then outstanding common shares. Note: In the case of net revenues generated from the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (the Company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), 70% of the net revenue from such mine, being the revenue that is attributable to the Company, is used for the purposes of the Company's quarterly dividend calculation.

The amount and distribution dates of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders outside Canada (non-resident investors) may be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes reference to certain financial measures which are not standardized measures under the Company's financial reporting framework. These measures include cash costs per silver equivalent ounce produced, all-in sustaining cost (or "AISC") per silver equivalent ounce produced, cash costs per gold ounce produced, AISC per gold ounce produced, total production cost per tonne, average realized silver price per ounce sold, average realized gold price per ounce sold, working capital, adjusted net earnings and EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance but do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the timing for the Company's dividend payment for the first quarter of 2025 and the shareholder record and payable dates in connection with such dividend payment; and anticipated future results. Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Statements concerning proven and probable mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward- looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as and if the property is developed, and in the case of measured and indicated mineral resources or proven and probable mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "forecast", "potential", "target", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements".

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the duration and effects of the coronavirus and COVID-19, and any other pandemics on our operations and workforce, and the effects on global economies and society; general economic conditions including inflation risks; actual results of exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; commodity prices; variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; actual performance of plant, equipment or processes relative to specifications and expectations; accidents; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; changes in applicable legislation or application thereof; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation; environmental risks; reclamation expenses; outcomes of pending litigation; limitations on insurance coverage as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business - Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar. Although First Majestic has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
