Avino Silver & Gold Q3 2026 profit falls 21% to $6.1M
Nine-month operating cash flow reached $39.6 million, while cash and working capital stood at $138.2 million and $141.5 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. reported Q3 2026 revenue of $33.4 million, up 59% from $21.0 million a year earlier, while net income was $6.1 million versus $7.7 million and diluted earnings were $0.03 per share versus $0.05. For the nine months, revenue rose 61% to $99.6 million and net income increased 103% to $32.9 million.
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months was $39.6 million, versus $17.4 million. Cash was $138.2 million and working capital was $141.5 million at September 30, 2026. Q3 silver production was 303,189 ounces, up 15%; silver-equivalent production was 582,836 ounces, up 2%. Cash cost per silver-equivalent payable ounce sold rose 63% to $27.87.
At La Preciosa, over 3,000 metres of development had been completed by the end of Q3, and preparation on Level 3 of the Abundancia and La Gloria veins was nearly complete for production long-hole mining. Since approval of its normal course issuer bid in April 2026, Avino had repurchased and cancelled over 1 million common shares; it may repurchase up to an aggregate of 8,248,566 shares before April 7, 2027.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

2026 Highlights
|
| · | Steady Progress at La Preciosa: As of the end of Q3 2026, over 3,000 metres of development has been completed at La Preciosa as we prepare for future production mining at both La Gloria and Abundancia veins as the Company has added additional equipment to improve development rates in previous quarters. |
|
| · | Primary Silver Production: Avino produced 303,189 silver ounces, representing over 50% of our silver equivalent1 production for Q3 2026, as the Company continues to transition to its long-term target of 75% of consolidated silver equivalent1 production coming from silver ounces. |
|
| · | Increased La Preciosa Development Production: Avino produced 582,836 silver equivalent1 ounces in Q3 2026, up slightly from Q3 2025 on a consolidated basis. At La Preciosa, development production output increased 5% from Q2 2026, contributing 105,867 AgEq1 ounces, and consisting of 91,411 silver oz and 166 gold oz. Mill processing of mineralized development material from La Preciosa was above plan for 2026 to date, primarily due to Mill Circuit 2 becoming available for La Preciosa development ore in the second quarter, ahead of schedule. Grades have been below plan due to the availability of lower-grade development ore as a result of elevated silver prices. |
|
| · | Consistent Mill Throughput: In Q3 2026, mill throughput remained on plan with 190,379 tonnes processed from both Avino and La Preciosa. Continued steady mill performance and availability reflects the impact of targeted upgrades and automation initiatives led by our operations and maintenance teams over recent years. |
|
| · | Normal Course Issuer Bid: Since the approval of the Company’s NCIB in April 2026, Avino has repurchased and subsequently cancelled over 1 million common shares, decreasing the issued and outstanding common shares by the same amount. As previously announced, the Company is permitted to repurchase for cancellation up to an aggregate of 8,248,566 common chares prior to April 7, 2027. The Company believes the NCIB is a flexible tool as part of its overall capital allocation program and remains committed to returning value to shareholders by reducing the number of shares outstanding therefore increasing percentage of ownership and earning per share. |
Operational Updates
La Preciosa Mine Update
As noted previously, development mining and haulages rates increased at the beginning of Q2 2026 to allow for Mill Circuit 2 to switch from ET ore to La Preciosa development ore and Mill Circuit’s 1 and 2 have both processing La Preciosa development ore for two quarters. In addition, mine preparation work is nearly complete on Level 3 of Abundancia and La Gloria, allowing for production long-hole mining to begin. This will result in higher-grade ore being sent to the mill as compared to the development ore processed to date, which was subject to additional mining dilution. Engineering and technical studies are on going at the mine level to evaluate the optimum mining, hauling and processing rates for the long-term. Additionally, Avino has completed trade-off studies and have begun the process of a preparing for a stand-alone processing facility at La Preciosa.

Exploration
A third drill was added at La Preciosa, with 10,675 meters of drilling completed at the end of Q3 as part of the planned 15,000 metres of exploration for 2026. Drilling has now shifted from infill holes to exploration and step-out holes at high-priority targets at vein intersections and projections. It is important to note that none of the infill drilling holes completed to date were included in the current mineral reserve. Furthermore, most of the exploration holes are in areas outside the current resource model.
On October 26, 2026, Avino announced the results from thirteen drill holes completed as part of its first phase of the Company’s 2026 drill program at La Preciosa.
High grades were recorded from the infill holes while most of the extension holes returned low to medium grades as expected. Understanding how the veins are constrained was an important finding from the extension testing holes.
Hole PMLP 26-23 was particularly noteworthy as it intersected the Abundancia and La Gloria veins at their junction, returning very wide intercepts with average grades well above the previously reported resource cut-off grade, along with high-grade intervals throughout.
Selected Intercept Highlights:
| · | Hole PMLP 26-17: 616 g/t Ag and 0.32 g/t Au over 4.86 metres true width | |
| · | Hole PMLP 26-20: 554 g/t Ag and 0.54 g/t Au over 2.76 metres true width | |
|
| o | including 750 g/t Ag and 0.68 g/t Au over 1.46 metres true width |
|
|
| |
| · | Hole PMLP 26-23 at La Gloria and Abundancia: 132 g/t Ag and 0.37 g/t Au over 23.60 metres true wid | |
|
| o | including 309 g/t Ag and 0.59 g/t Au over 0.84 metres true width at La Gloria, and |
|
| o | including 202 g/t Ag and 0.36 g/t Au over 8.04 metres true width at Abundancia |
Assays have been received for thirteen holes totalling approximately 3,300 metres drilled at La Preciosa, with the full 2026 La Preciosa drill program comprising 15,000 metres across the property. These holes were completed as part of an infill/extension drilling program to help inform and refine the long term mine plan. Most holes were designed to intersect both the La Gloria and Abundancia veins, as well as additional recently-discovered veins in multiple holes. All assays were processed under Avino’s standard QA/QC program, with no indications of bias or contamination detected.
The full news release is available on the Company’s website here.
Drilling remains ongoing at Avino as we continue to understand the nature of the veining, with two drills currently deployed. The first drill was focused in the upper area in the eastern portion of the system. The second drill at Avino was focused on extension drilling in the footwall breccia area in the upper east portion. As of September 30, 2026, 9,400 metres have been completed.

Avino Mine and Mill Update
As previously mentioned in Q2 2026, Avino identified surface mineralized material near its current workings, which was out of the current reserves. Given the ease of accessibility along with the lower cost of extraction and process flexibility of the four independent mill circuits, Avino elected to mine, haul and process this material in one of the large mill circuits. Silver and gold grades have proven to be quite good, however copper grades are lower and due to the near surface nature, can be highly oxidized affecting recovery. However, given the lower cost and attractive metal price environment this material represents was prioritized over fresh underground ore, providing additional flexibility on mine sequencing in addition to reducing depletion on Avino reserves.
Inaugural Mineral Reserve and Updated Mineral Resource Estimates
The Company released the details of most recent mineral reserve estimate and updated mineral resource estimate on April 16th, 2026. The highlights included inaugural proven and probable mineral reserves at two of the Company’s three assets, totaling 27 million tonnes containing 95 million ounces of silver at a grade of 109 g/t, 356 thousand ounces of gold at a grade of 0.41 g/t, and 85 million pounds of copper at a grade of 0.31%. This calculates to 127 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 145 g/t. The full news release can be viewed here. The mineral resources and reserves estimate is included in an updated technical report (the “Updated Technical Report” prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. in accordance with the requirements of NI-43-101), and is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under the Company’s profile and filed on Form 6-K on EDGAR.

Revenues
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized revenues of $33.4 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate and La Preciosa silver/gold concentrate, compared to $21.0 million revenues for the 2025 period, an increase of $12.4 million. The increase is a result of higher average realized metal prices for silver, gold and copper for the period offset by lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period.
Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $63.33 per ounce of silver, $4,261 per ounce of gold, and $14,433 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for Q3 2025 were $38.21 per ounce of silver, $3,458 per ounce of gold, and $9,793 per tonne of copper.
Payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period were 582,826 ounces, compared to 580,780 ounces in Q3 2025. Payable silver equivalent ounces sold were lower in the current period than previous periods as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver:gold and silver: copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces and lower grade material processed mainly from la Preciosa mine development ore.
Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, cost of sales was $18.5 million, compared to $11.1 million in Q3 2025, an increase of $7.4 million. The increase is mainly attributable to higher depreciation, increased operations at La Preciosa, as well as a stronger average Mexican Peso compared to the US Dollar during the current quarter, with an average of $17.21 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q3 2026 compared to an average of $18.51 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q3 2025, a strengthening of approximately 7%.
Mine operating income was $14.8 million, compared to $9.9 million in Q3 2025. The increase in mine operating income is a result of the items noted above as well as mark to market movements resulting from changes in metal prices and metal contents from provisional to final invoicing. Provisional adjustments had a positive impact of $1.8 million in Q3 2026 compared to negative impact of $0.4 million in Q3 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments
General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in Q3 2025. The increase is a result of higher salaries and benefits primarily as a result of increase in operations and increased employee benefits and profit-sharing accruals from improved financial performance.
Share-based payments were $0.8 million, compared to $1.2 million in Q3 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease is a direct result of the timing of option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price at the time of the grants.
Other Items
Loss on long-term investments was $0.2 million compared to $2.4 million in Q3 2025. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources, as well as minor movements in the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 9 |
Unrealized loss on derivatives was $1.1 million compared to a gain of 0.1 million in Q3 2025. This is a direct result of US Dollar/Mexican Peso foreign exchange forward contracts entered into during the year to mitigate risks surrounding the Company of material foreign exchange movements that could cause the Company to incur material losses.
Foreign exchange gain for the period was $0.6 million compared to a gain of $1.1 million in Q3 2025. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Mexican Peso and the Canadian dollar, resulting in foreign exchange loss which was offset by realized gain on derivatives resulting in a gain overall.
Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Current income tax expense was $4.3 million in Q3 2026, an increase of $1.0 million compared to an income tax expense of $3.3 million for Q3 2025. The movement relates primarily to additional taxable income in Avino due to increased profits, which resulted in increased income tax expense.
Deferred income tax expense was $1.8 million in Q3 2026 compared to $0.3 million in Q3 2025. Deferred income taxes fluctuate due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes during the current and comparable periods primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and mining profits and/or losses in Mexico.
Net Income
Net income was $6.1 million for the period, or $0.04 per basic and $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.7 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for Q3 2025. The increase is a result of the items noted above, including increases in revenues, mine operating income, gain on long-term investments, gain on foreign exchange and interest income. The positive movements were partially offset by increases to current income tax expense.
EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss
(see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures”)
EBITDA was $12.8 million for the period, an increase of $1.3 million when compared to $11.5 million for Q3 2025. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, changes in interest expense and income, as well as any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.
Adjusted earnings for the period was $14.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $11.6 million in the corresponding quarter in 2025. Changes to adjusted earnings are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, unrealized gains and losses related to derivative liabilities, write-downs of equipment and movements in foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.

Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Costs
(see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standard Measures”)
Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $27.87., compared to $17.09 for Q3 2025. The increase is attributable to lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period than previous periods, partially as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper. Using the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios from the Company’s 2026 guidance, cash costs per AgEq payable ounce sold was $26.21. This was further impacted by a stronger Mexican Peso in relation to the US dollar, increased consumables costs, as well as increased activity at La Preciosa, which has higher unit costs in the current stage of development, compared to Q3 2025.
All-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $34.71, compared to $24.06 for Q3 2025. As noted above, the increase is primarily due to lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period than previous periods as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver: gold and silver:copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper. Using the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios from the Company’s 2026 guidance, all-in sustaining costs per AgEq payable ounce sold was $35.22. This was further impacted by a stronger Mexican Peso in relation to the US dollar, increased consumables costs, as well as increased activity at La Preciosa, which has higher unit costs in the current stage of development, as noted above.
See Non-IFRS Accounting Standard Measures for a reconciliation for cash costs and all-in sustaining costs.

Revenues
The Company recognized revenues net of penalties, treatment costs and refining charges, of $99.6 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate, compared to revenues of $61.7 million for the 2025 period, an increase of $37.9 million.
The increase in revenues is a result of higher average metal prices as described below, offset by 22% lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current year.
Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $70.57 per ounce of silver, $4,450 per ounce of gold, and $13,502 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $35.49 per ounce of silver, $3,278 per ounce of gold, and $9,632 per tonne of copper.
Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income
Cost of sales for the period were $48.4 million, compared to $31.0 million in the 2025 period, an increase of $17.4 million. The increase in cost of sales is attributable to lower ounces sold as mentioned above, which resulted in higher overall costs and a stronger 6-month average Mexican Peso compared to the US dollar, which impacted labour and contractor costs.
Mine operating income for the period was $51.2 million, compared to $30.7 million in the 2025 period. The increase in mine operating income is a result of higher revenues, offset by increased in cost of sales as a result of the inclusion of the mining and processing of development material from La Preciosa.
General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments
General and administrative expenses were $7.4 million, compared to $5.9 million in the comparable period, with any increases coming from additional professional fees and salaries and benefits in the period.
Share-based payments were $3.2 million, compared to $2.8 million in the comparable period, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of stock option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price from period to period.
Other Items
Unrealized loss on derivative liability was $1.8 million compared to gain of $2.0 million in the comparable period. This is a direct result of US dollar/Mexican Peso foreign exchange forward contracts entered into mitigate risks surrounding the Company of material foreign exchange movements that could cause the Company to incur material losses.
Foreign exchange gain for the period was $6.2 million, a positive movement of $6.6 million compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the comparable period in 2025. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the period, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican Peso appreciated against the US dollar, resulting in an overall foreign exchange loss for the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the US dollar remained constant in relation to the Canadian dollar but depreciated compared to the Mexican peso by the end of nine months, resulting in a foreign exchange gain.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 13 |
Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Current income tax expense for the period was $15.6 million, compared to a current income tax expense of $8.4 million in the comparable period. The movements are a result of higher profits generated in 2026, resulting in increased income tax expense, whereas in 2025, the Company had losses available to partially offset taxable income in Mexico.
Deferred income tax recovery was $1.6 million, a change of $3.1 million compared to an expense of $1.5 million in 2025. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to the special mining duty in Mexico and to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes during the current and comparable periods primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and mining profits and/or losses in Mexico.
Net Income
Net income was $32.9 million for the period, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $16.2 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share during the comparable period in 2025. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily increases in revenues and mine operating income between the two comparable periods. The increase was partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses and share-based payments, and an elevated foreign exchange loss. Net income was further impacted by movements in the unrealized derivative liability / asset.
EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss
(see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures”)
EBITDA for the period was $50.9 million, an increase of $22.3 million when compared to $28.6 million for the comparable period. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, and any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.
Adjusted earnings for the period was $49.8 million, an increase of $19.6 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $30.2 million in the corresponding period in 2025. Changes to adjusted earnings are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, unrealized gains and losses related to derivative liabilities, write-downs of equipment and movements in foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.
Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Cash Costs
(see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures”)
Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $26.30, compared to $14.95 for the comparable period in 2025. Cash costs per ounce increased compared with the prior year period, which is attributable to lower silver equivalent ounces sold, additional activities at La Preciosa, and a stronger Mexican Peso compared to the US dollar on average during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in higher consumables, labour and contractor costs.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 14 |
All-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $35.22, compared to $21.64 for the comparable period in 2025. The increase is a result of the items noted above, as well as movements in penalties, treatment and refining charges, exploration expenses and sustaining capital expenditures.

AgEq was calculated using metal prices of $45.20 per oz Ag, $3,929 per oz Au and $4.85 per lb Cu. These metal prices are based on the Company’s 2026 budget as approved by the Board of Directors, and previous periods have been recalculated using these prices for comparability purposes. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.
Under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101-compliant reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments, or feasibility studies, and historically projects without such reports have increased uncertainty and risk of economic viability. The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company.
Qualified Person(s)
Peter Latta, P.Eng, MBA, Vice President, Technical Services, is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical data in this document.
Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted earnings
Earnings, or loss, before interest, taxes and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non - IFRS financial measure which excludes the following items from net earnings:
|
| · | Income tax expense |
|
| · | Finance costs |
|
| · | Amortization and depletion |
Adjusted earnings excludes the following additional items from EBITDA
|
| · | Share-based compensation; |
|
| · | Non-cash items including foreign exchange movements, fair value adjustments on derivative liability movements and other non-recurring items |
Management believes EBITDA and adjusted earnings provides an indication of continuing capacity to generate operating cash flow to fund capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. These measures are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and are indicative of the Company’s financial performance. There are not standardized definitions under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 16 |
Adjusted earnings excludes share-based payments, and non-operating or recurring items such as foreign exchange gains and losses, writedown of equipment or supplies and materials inventory, fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants and fair value adjustments on derivative liabilities. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, entities must reflect within compensation expense the cost of share-based payments. In the Company’s circumstances, share-based compensation can involve significant amounts that will not be settled in cash but are settled by issuance of shares in exchange. The Company discloses adjusted earnings to aid in understanding the results of the Company.
Adjusted earnings per share is calculated taking adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of diluted common shares per the financial statements.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings in the financial statements to EBITDA, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share:

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cost per Silver Equivalent Payable Ounce Sold and per Tonne Processed
The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales from the consolidated financial statements to cash cost and all-in sustaining cost per silver equivalent payable ounce sold and per tonne processed. In each table, “silver equivalent payable ounces sold” consists of the sum of payable silver ounces, gold ounces and copper tonnes sold, before penalties, treatment charges, and refining charges, multiplied by the ratio of the average spot silver, gold and copper prices for the corresponding period. Tonnes processed consists of tonnes of ore that were processed at the Company’s milling facilities.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 17 |
Cash cost and all-in sustaining cost per payable ounce and per tonne processed are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS Accounting Standard measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cost per payable ounce are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company’s mining operations, and are widely reported in the silver and gold mining industry as benchmarks for performance, but do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS Accounting Standards measures.
The Company’s calculations for cash cost and all-in sustaining cost per silver equivalent ounce and per tonne processed includes the deduction of mine preparation costs at La Preciosa that are incurred in advance of production mining operations. Mine preparation costs at La Preciosa were $1,139 and $1,989 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $1,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and all of which is attributable to the Avino Mine.
To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS Accounting Standard measures and the Company’s consolidated financial statements are provided below. The non-IFRS Accounting Standard measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS Accounting Standards measures. Calculated figures may not add up accurately due to rounding.

Mine Operating Cash Flow Before Taxes
Mine operating cash flow before taxes is a non-IFRS Accounting Standard measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Mine operating cash flow before taxes is calculated as mine operating income less depreciation and depletion in cost of sales and write down or reversals of equipment and supplies and materials inventory. Mine operating cash flow before taxes is used by management to assess the performance of the mine operations, excluding corporate activities and is provided to investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance.

Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Adjustments
Operating cash flow before working capital adjustments a non-IFRS Accounting Standard measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Operating cash flow before working capital adjustments is calculated as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, less net changes in non-cash working capital items per the consolidated statement of cash flows. This measure is used by management to assess the performance of the mine operations and is provided to investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance.

After Q3 2025, revenue increased significantly compared to previous quarters, mainly due to elevated silver prices even with lower silver equivalent ounces sold.
Net income and earnings per share have remained positive due to better metal prices offset by lower silver equivalent ounces sold compared with prior quarters. Earnings overall have increased quarter over quarter.
For further details see “Financial Results” section.
Total assets continue to increase overall when compared to previous quarters, as result of operating and financing cash flow generation, and capital investment in the operation.
Quarterly results will fluctuate with changes in revenues, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, including non-cash items such as share-based payments, and other items including foreign exchange and deferred income taxes. These fluctuations are mainly caused by market conditions such as fluctuations in metal prices, currency fluctuations as well as variations in mineralization of the zones mined.

Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $39.6 million, an increase of $22.2 million compared to $17.4 million generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash generated from operating activities increased primarily as a result of increases to net income by $32.3 million, as well as positive unrealized foreign exchange movements totaling $4.9 million. These were offset by offset primarily by movements in non-cash items such as an increase to depreciation and depletion of $6.5 million, unrealized derivatives movements totaling $1.8 million in additional loss, as well as smaller movements in other non-cash items.

| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 23 |
Financing Activities
Cash generated by financing activities was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $35.4 million generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The movement is a result of proceeds from shares issued on the ATM and option exercises, partially offset by higher payments of lease and equipment loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash and from options exercise of $27.8 million (September 30, 2025 – $37.2 million) offset by share repurchased and cancelled totalling $4.6 million paid (September 30, 2025 - Nil). The Company also made lease and equipment loan payments totaling $3.0 million (September 30, 2025 – $1.8 million) and made deferred consideration payment totalling $8.75 million (September 30, 2025 - Nil).
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $14.5 million compared to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Investing activities in the period primarily related to additions to plant, equipment and mining properties at the Avino and La Preciosa mining operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash, in both the short term and the long term, to maintain existing capacity and to fund ongoing exploration, is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or resources and the ability of the Company to continue with sustainable and profitable mining operations.
Management expects that the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements will be funded from cash generated from current operations. If required to fund ongoing exploration activities, and meet its objectives, including ongoing advancement at the Avino Mine further financing may be required. The Company continues to evaluate financing opportunities to advance its projects. The Company’s ability to secure adequate financing is, in part, dependent on overall market conditions, the prices of silver, gold, and copper, and other factors.
The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.
| Intended Use Of Proceeds |
|
| Actual Use Of Proceeds |
| In June 2025, the Company announced the renewal of the at-the-market (the “2025 ATM”) sales agreement for gross proceeds of up to $40 million. At December 31, 2025, the Company had received gross proceeds of $40 million in connection with the 2025 ATM, completing the program. Proceeds from the 2025 ATM are intended for development activities focused at La Preciosa, sustaining capital and development activities at the Avino Mine, including equipment lease and loan payments, and general working capital purposes.
In November 2025, the Company announced a new at-the-market (the “2025 ATM #2”) sales agreement for gross proceeds of up to $60 million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had received gross proceeds of approximately $59 million in connection with the 2025 ATM #2. The proceeds from the 2025 ATM #2 are intended for development activities focused at La Preciosa, sustaining capital and development activities at the Avino Mine, including equipment lease and loan payments, and general working capital purposes.
|
|
| As of the date of this MD&A, the Company is using the funds as intended.
During this period, funds have been used for exploration and evaluation activities, the acquisition of mining equipment and development activities at La Preciosa, shares repurchase and cancelled NCIB, the acquisition of sustaining capital equipment and development of the Avino Mine and the repayments of capital equipment acquired under lease and loan, and deferred consideration payment. Further, funds were used for the repurchase of existing royalty and production obligations at La Preciosa. Remaining funds have remained in treasury for further acquisitions or investments into the existing operations

Financial Instruments and Risks
The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, long-term investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair values based on current market rates for similar financial instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.
A. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, long-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short- term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated financial institutions.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 26 |
The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with two (December 31, 2025 – two) counterparties. However, the Company has not recorded any allowance against its trade receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in full when due (typically within 60 days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. At September 30, 2026, no amounts were held as collateral.
B. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at September 30, 2026, in the amount of $138,247 and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $141,529 in order to meet short-term business requirements. Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The current portions of finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the consolidated statement of financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment.
The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at September 30, 2026, are summarized as follows:

C. Market Risk
Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
|
| I. | To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ii. | To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk. |
In management’s opinion, the Company is not materially exposed to interest rate risk, as any material debt obligations that bear interest are fixed and not subject to floating interest rates. A 10% change in the interest rate would not a result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 27 |
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars:

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at September 30, 2026, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, by approximately $129 (December 31, 2025 - $248). The Company has entered into certain foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk and at September 30, 2026, recorded a derivative liability of $523 (December 31, 2025 – derivative liability of $1,314).
Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its amounts receivable, as certain trade accounts receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging strategies to limit its exposure to price risk. At September 30, 2026, based on outstanding accounts receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $145 (December 31, 2025 - $743).
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses being recognized in net income (loss). At September 30, 2026, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $272 (December 31, 2025 - $384).
The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

D. Classification of Financial Instruments
IFRS 13 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 (unobservable inputs).
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2026:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current year: Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year, or are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related amendments to IAS 7 Statement and of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, related to the settlement of financial assets and financial liabilities through electronic payment systems. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities settled electronically and introduce and optional exception for certain electronic payment arrangements. We have assessed these standards and the adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS Accounting Standards that are not yet effective: Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements” (“IFRS 18”), replacing IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. IFRS 18 introduces new categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, introduces the concept of management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”) and related disclosure requirements, and includes requirements to improve the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. With respect to the statement of profit or loss, items of income and expenses will be grouped into new categories and defined subtotals, resulting in changes to certain existing line items and the subtotals presented, with no change to net income. An MPM is defined as a subtotal of income and expenses that a company uses in public communications outside of its financial statements to represent management’s view of the company’s financial performance.
|
| AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS | 31 |
As a result of IFRS 18, amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” were also issued to require that entities use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities. In addition, presentation alternatives will be removed for interest paid and received. All interest paid will be required to be presented as a financing cash flow, representing a change from the Company’s current presentation of capitalized interest paid within cash flows used in investing activities.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements and will apply the standard from its mandatory effective date of January 1, 2027. As retrospective application is required, the comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026, including each quarter therein, will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d- 15(f) of the Exchange Act, and by the Canadian Securities Administrators) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Cautionary Note regarding Reserves and Resources
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators, lays out the standards of disclosure for mineral projects. This includes a requirement that a certified Qualified Person (“QP”) (as defined under the NI 43-101) supervises the preparation of the mineral reserves and mineral resources. Peter Latta, Senior Vice President, Technical Services is a certified QP for the Company and has reviewed this MD&A for QP technical disclosures. All NI 43-101 technical reports can be found on the Company’s website at www.avino.com or under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources
This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. companies. Information concerning our mineral properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in respects from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to domestic United States issuers. Accordingly, the disclosure in this MD&A regarding our mineral properties may not be comparable to the disclosure of United States issuers subject to the SEC’s mining disclosure requirements.
