Record Quarterly Revenue
Q4 revenue of $147 million, up 96% year-over-year, driven mainly by a 183% increase in realized silver selling price (averaging just above $78/oz) and silver representing 78% of Q4 revenue.
Strong Cash Generation and Free Cash Flow
Q4 cash flow from operating activities of $90 million and free cash flow of $58 million (up 194% and 308% YoY, respectively). Full-year operating cash flow nearly $311 million, up 124% YoY, and FY free cash flow of >$181 million (more than triple prior year).
Adjusted Profitability Improvement
Q4 adjusted net income of $59.3 million ($0.27/share) versus $14.7 million ($0.07) in the prior-year quarter — a 303% increase. Full-year adjusted net income of $151 million ($0.69) versus $75 million ($0.36) prior year (approximately +101%).
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity Actions
Ended quarter with $422 million cash (plus $275 million market value of investments). Secured low-cost RMB term loan facilities of ~ $220 million post-quarter (undrawn) to add liquidity.
Production and Operating Income
Q4 production: ~1.5M oz silver, ~2.5k oz gold, 14M lbs lead, 4M lbs zinc. FY production: 6.8M oz silver and 8,723 oz gold. Consolidated mining operating income of $254 million in FY2026 with Ying contributing $240 million (95% of total).
Unit Cost Improvements and By-product Credits
Ying Q4 production costs averaged $78/tonne (down 8% YoY). Cash cost per oz of silver net of by-product credits was negative $1.03 in Q4 (versus $3.05 prior year). FY cash cost per oz averaged $0.01 versus $0.62 last year, reflecting a ~$10 million increase in by-product credits.
All-in Sustaining Costs Below Guidance
Ying FY all-in sustaining costs averaged $134/tonne, down 4% YoY and below Ying's guidance of $158–$161/tonne. Per-ounce AISC (net of by-products) was $1,309 in Q4 and $1,149 for the full year, supporting healthy margins at higher silver prices.
Growth and Capacity Expansion
Approved capacity across 4 Ying permits increased to 1.32M tonnes/year, with total Ying mining capacity anticipated around 1.5M tonnes/year including Kuanping (200k tpa). Commenced construction of Mill #3 (budget $31.6M) to add 3,000 tpd and deliver ~6,500 tpd net effective milling capacity when commissioned in Q1 FY2028.
Progress on El Domo and Other Development Projects
El Domo: $60M spent to March 2026 (~21% of updated $284M budget), awarded power contracts, mobilized CRCC 19 for construction, and advanced process plant earthworks and tailings quality assurance.
