Cash-flow per share is a non-GAAP financial performance measure
with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible
that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of
another Corporation. The Company uses this non-GAAP measure which
can also be helpful to investors as it provides a result which can
be compared with the Company market share price. |
Results from operations:
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation
increased its net shareholder equity by 42.6% from $22.3 M in 2012
to $31.8 M in 2013. This increase results from the internal growth
generated by the ore processing activities which delivered in 2013
all-time record results.
During 2013, the Huanca plant ran at an average rate of 228 tpd,
since its capacity was raised at 230 tpd and then 240 tpd during
the third and fourth quarter of 2013. This gave way to another
record financial and production year.
The Corporation recorded a net income of $9.1M ($0.25 per share)
compared to $7.7M and $0.22 per share in 2012.
During the year, the Corporation produced 76,883 ounces of gold
compared to 61,264 in 2012 a 25.5% increase. The increase in gold
production compared to 2012 is explained by a higher tonnage and
higher gold content of ore processed. During the year the grades of
ore processed averaged 1.04oz/DMT (32.36 g/t Au) compared 0.9
oz/DMT (28.00 g/t Au) in 2012.
Total sales for the year amounted to $112.1M (77,266 ounces of
gold sold) compared to $105.0M (59,910 ounces sold) in 2012, an
increase of 6.8% over 2012. Variation is explained by increased
gold production of 25.5% which were offset by a decrease in gold
selling price of 15.6%. The average selling price of gold was
$1,412 per ounce in 2013 compared to $1,674 in 2012.
Silver production was down from 157,862 ounces in 2012 to
131,685 ounces in 2013 mainly due to lower silver content in the
ore processed.
The gross operating margin for the period amounted to $20.5 M
(18.3%) compared to $17.8 M (17.0%), an increase of 14.8% over
2012. This increase is explained by higher tonnage processed,
higher grades of ore processed and lower depreciation expense as
tailing pond was completely depreciated before the end of the
year.
The gold cash gross operating margin per ounce was at $264 in
2013 compared to $295 in 2012, a 10.5% decrease over the period,
mainly due to a decrease in the price of gold.

EBITDA: "Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, revaluation of warrants and impairment" is a non-GAAP
financial performance measure with no standard definition under
IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be
comparable with a similar measure of another Corporation. The
Corporation uses this non-GAAP measure as an indicator of the cash
generated by the operations and allows investor to compare the
profitability of the Corporation with others by canceling effects
of different assets bases, effects due to different tax structures
as well as the effects of different capital structures. |
CASH FLOW FROM
OPERATING, INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES AND WORKING
CAPITAL
Operating Activities
During the year the cash flow from operations before changes in
working capital items amounted to $10.3 M ($0.29 per share)
compared to $9.2M ($0.26 per share) in 2012. Total cash generated
from operating activities amounted to $12.5 M compared to $3.9 M in
2012. Changes in working capital items amounted to $2.2M (-$5.3M in
2012) resulting mainly from a decrease of $6.2 M in inventory, an
increase of $4.3M in trade and other receivables since the
Corporation had accumulated six months of recoverable Peruvian
sales tax credits, for which major part was recovered subsequent to
year-end. At December 31, 2013 ore inventory represented 19 days of
production compared to 24 at year-end 2012.
Investing Activities
During the year the Corporation invested $3.7M ($1.6 M in 2012)
for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment to be used at
the current Huanca plant, including an additional $0.8 M for the
extension of the tailing pond and for pre-construction expenditure
at Chala. Investment to date for Chala amounts to $2.0 M and
includes: environmental, hydrogeological water and tailings
studies, permitting expenses, consultant fees, equipment purchases,
construction of workers camp, water well, a communication tower and
a power line that will connect the site to the national grid.
Additions to exploration and evaluation assets during the year
amounted to $2.3 M ($0.8M in 2012) as the Corporation ran its
planned exploration program at Tumipampa and for which excellent
results were published in 2013 and 2014.
Financing activities
During 2013, the Corporation did not complete any share issue
financing (nil in 2012). A total of 345,944 options were exercised
for proceeds of $0.1M (300,000 options for gross proceeds of $0.1M
in 2012).
The Corporation became debt-free following the payment of the
second quarter interest and reimbursement in June of the
outstanding long term debt which had matured.
Liquidity and working capital
The delay in obtaining the construction permit for the Chala
plant led to an increase in the Corporation's cash balance in 2013.
The Corporation's working capital amounted to $17.4M of which $8.5M
was in cash ($13.3M of which $3.3M in cash at December 31,
2012).
As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation had no financial
commitment besides those disclosed in the section Long Term
Liabilities and Contractual Obligations and has no restrictions in
transferring funds from Peruvian subsidiaries to the parent
Corporation.
2014- Ore processing outlook
During the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation's gold ore
processing operations were slowed down due to energetic and
unprecedented measures taken by the Peruvian Authorities to combat
illegal gold mining and illegal gold exports from Peru.
Consequently and despite the fact that the Corporation is solely
purchasing ore from registered miners, it faced delays, due to
general increased measures at customs, in exporting its gold dore
production. This situation led to a temporary stoppage of ore
purchases and a production slow-down. This situation has temporally
affected the Corporation and accordingly its Q1-2014 financial
results. The Corporation has now resumed its gold ore processing
operations and gold exports and expects the operations to run at
full capacity in the upcoming weeks.
Exploration outlook
Following the excellent exploration results obtained in 2013
from the cross cut and underground drilling of the Manto Dorado and
the three other high grade veins Dynacor is planning to intensify
its exploration of Tumipampa in 2014 and into 2015 with an expected
program of approximately $4.5M.
