OUR BUSINESS

We are an integrated mining company producing copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver) and zinc metal. With assets in North and South America, we are focused on the discovery, production and marketing of base and precious metals. Through our subsidiaries, we own four polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators and a zinc production facility in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Canada) and Cusco (Peru), and a copper project in Arizona (United States). Our growth strategy is focused on the exploration and development of properties we already control, as well as other mineral assets we may acquire that fit our strategic criteria. Our vision is to become a top-tier operator of long-life, low-cost mines in the Americas. Our mission is to create sustainable value through the acquisition, development and operation of high-quality and growing long-life deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions. We are governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and our shares are listed under the symbol "HBM" on the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores de Lima. We also have warrants listed under the symbol “HBM.WT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and “HBM/WS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

SUMMARY

In the second quarter of 2016, cash generated from operating activities increased to $137.5 million from $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. In addition, operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital increased to $75.1 million in the current quarter from $17.0 million in the same quarter of 20151. Operating cash flow in the quarter benefited from substantially higher copper and precious metals sales volumes due to the Constancia project reaching commercial production on April 30, 2015. The increase in sales volumes and associated economies of scale more than offset the decline in realized sales prices of copper and zinc metals compared to the same quarter last year.

The net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2016 were $5.7 million and $0.02, respectively, compared to net loss and loss per share of $44.3 million and $0.19, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015. In the comparable period last year, there was an asset impairment charge of $19.9 million as a result of the decision not to proceed with construction of the new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the New Britannia mine and mill (the “NBM Mill”).

Net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2016 was affected by, among other things, the following item:

    Pre-tax loss     After-tax loss     Per share loss  
    ($ millions)     ($ millions)     ($/share)  
Non-cash deferred tax adjustments   -     (8.4 )   (0.04 )

Notwithstanding lower copper and zinc realized prices, revenues nearly doubled and gross profit increased more than ten-fold compared to the same quarter last year as a result of higher sales volumes and cost optimization at our operations. As a result of production growth and ongoing cost optimization initiatives, consolidated cash cost, net of by-product credits, declined to $0.83 per pound of copper produced from $1.28 per pound in the second quarter of 2015. Similarly, incorporating sustaining capital, capitalized exploration, royalties and corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) costs, consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, declined to $1.42 per pound from $2.28 per pound in the second quarter of 20151.

Sales of copper contained in concentrate lagged production in the second quarter of 2016 mainly as a result of a delay in loading a 20,000 tonne parcel of concentrate at the port of Matarani in Peru due to extended ocean swells in late June. Concentrate inventory at the Constancia mine site and the Matarani port are currently at normal working levels.

During the second quarter, a Canadian chartered bank joined the syndicate for our Canadian and Peruvian senior secured revolving credit facilities (the “Facilities”) with $30.0 million in new commitments, bringing total commitments under the Facilities to $530.0 million. Including this additional credit availability, cash flow generated from the business and collection of Peruvian sales tax refunds during the quarter, total liquidity at June 30, 2016 was $293.5 million, compared to $190.1 million at March 31, 2016.

The cost reduction initiatives announced on February 24, 2016 are on track to meet our targets for 2016. Based on these efforts and operating results to date, we expect to meet all of our production, operating and capital cost guidance.

We declared a semi-annual dividend of $0.01 per share on July 27, 2016. The dividend will be paid on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of September 9, 2016.

Reflects combined mine and mill costs per tonne of ore milled. Peru operations combined mine and mill unit costs include G&A, reflects the deduction of expected capitalized stripping costs and excludes costs and tonnes associated with pre-commercial production output.

During the second quarter of 2016, Constancia mining operations and cost optimization continued as planned. Ore mined during the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 10% as ore production rates were aligned to mill throughput rates. Mined and milled copper grades in the second quarter of 2016 were consistent with the same period in 2015. Mill throughput during the second quarter of 2016 was affected by higher than expected liner wear in the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills. These affected liners were successfully replaced in July 2016.

Optimization of plant performance remains the primary focus for Constancia. Total copper recovery in the second quarter of 2016 was 82.7%, compared to 66.3% in the same period last year as oxidized copper in the ore feed was lower in 2016 and the metallurgy associated with the varying ore types is better understood.

Combined unit operating costs for the second quarter and year-to-date 2016 were within guidance expectations for 2016, notwithstanding the reduced throughput associated with the replacement of the trunnions on one of the grinding circuits.

Concentrate inventory levels in Peru were maintained well within normal working levels during the second quarter of 2016 with a temporary increase at the port due to extended ocean swells in late June. The port expansion at Matarani was completed at the end of June 2016, which improved access to our designated pier and reduced port costs.

Precious metals production includes gold and silver production on a gold-equivalent basis. Silver is converted to gold at a ratio of 70:1.

During the second quarter of 2016, production of copper, gold and silver increased by 31%, 119% and 32%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2015. Year-to date production of copper, gold and silver were 109%, 158% and 87% higher than the same period in 2015. This growth reflects the ramp-up of Constancia to full production and the improvements in recoveries made in the last year.

Constancia's metal production and combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs are expected to be within guidance ranges for 2016.

Ore mined at our Manitoba mines during the second quarter of 2016 increased by 17% compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of increased production at Lalor and 777. Copper grades were higher at Reed as a result of the stopes mined. This was offset by lower copper grades at our 777 and Lalor mines, as expected. Silver grades in the second quarter of 2016 were in line with the same period in 2015, while zinc and gold grades were lower than the second quarter of 2015 by 8% and 11%, respectively. Unit operating costs for all Manitoba mines for the second quarter of 2016 declined by 21% compared to the same period in 2015, reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts and increased production. Reed mine unit operating costs decreased by 35% compared to the same period in 2015, due to cost reduction efforts as well as higher proportion of capitalized development to expensed development compared to the second quarter of 2015.

Year-to-date ore production at our Manitoba mines was 14% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher production at our Lalor and 777 mines. 2016 year-to-date copper, zinc, gold and silver grades were lower than the same period in 2015 by 7%, 8%, 10% and 5%, respectively, primarily related to lower grades at our Lalor and 777 mines. 777 grades are in line with mine plan expectations and Lalor grades are lower due to stope sequencing. Year-to-date total mine unit costs were 14% lower than the same period in 2015, reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts and increased production.

Reflects combined mine, mill and G&A costs per tonne of milled ore. Includes the cost of ore purchased from our joint venture partner at Reed mine. For 2015, combined mine and mill unit operating costs have been restated on the same basis for consistency.

Ore processed in the Flin Flon concentrator in the second quarter of 2016 was 17% higher than the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of higher production at our 777 mine. Gold and silver recoveries were higher in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of higher head grades, while zinc recovery was slightly lower due to lower zinc head grades. Unit operating costs at the Flin Flon concentrator were 9% higher in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of higher maintenance expenditures. Ore processed in the Snow Lake concentrator in the second quarter of 2016 was 15% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher production at the Lalor mine. Unit operating costs at the Snow Lake concentrator were 17% lower in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 as a result of increased production.

Ore processed year-to-date in 2016 in Flin Flon was 3% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher mine production, partially offset by unscheduled maintenance. 2016 year-to-date recoveries of all metals were fairly consistent with the same period in 2015. 2016 year-to-date unit operating costs at the Flin Flon concentrator were 9% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of lower production in the first quarter of 2016 due to unscheduled maintenance as well as increased maintenance costs. Ore processed year-to-date in Snow Lake was 28% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher production at Lalor. 2016 year-to-date copper, gold and silver recoveries were lower than the same period in 2015 as a result of lower copper grades. 2016 year-to-date unit operating costs at the Snow Lake concentrator were 24% lower than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher production throughout 2016.

Manitoba combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs in the second quarter and year-to-date in 2016 were 18% and 11% lower, respectively, than in the same periods in 2015 as a result of higher overall production and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, and were in line with full year guidance expectations.

Zinc unit operating costs include G&A costs. For 2015, zinc unit operating costs have been restated to include G&A costs for consistency.

Production of cast zinc in the second quarter of 2016 and year-to-date was 10% and 6% lower, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 due to limitations on zinc concentrate availability and the biennial maintenance shutdown which was completed during the second quarter. Operating costs per pound of zinc metal produced in the second quarter of 2016 and year-to-date were 13% and 7% higher, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015, for the same reasons.

Cash cost and sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of by-product credits, are not recognized under IFRS. For more detail on this non-IFRS financial performance measure, please see the discussion under "Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures" beginning on page 25 of this MD&A.

In Manitoba, cash cost, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter and year-to-date 2016 was $0.37 and $0.73 per pound of copper produced, a decrease of 73% and 49% per pound, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The decrease is largely the effect of decreased purchases of zinc concentrate for processing, a decrease in general support costs as a result of cost reduction initiatives, and a reduction in costs in US dollar terms as a result of the weaker Canadian dollar versus the US dollar. Cash cost was also positively impacted by increased copper production and increased sales of precious metals.

The Manitoba sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter and year-to-date in 2016 was $1.10 and $1.67 per pound of copper produced, a decrease of 48% and 24% per pound, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015, and was affected by the same factors impacting results in the second quarter.

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $247.0 million, $96.1 million higher than the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes resulting from commercial production being achieved at Constancia. This increase was partially offset by lower realized prices and higher treatment and refining charges.

Year-to-date revenue was $500.6 million, $221.0 million higher than the same period in 2015, due to the same factors that affected second quarter results. The following table provides further details of this variance:

Realized sales prices

This measure is intended to enable management and investors to understand the average realized price of metals sold to third parties in each reporting period. The average realized price per unit sold does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Beginning with reporting for the three months and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we have amended the methodology for determining realized prices. For sales of copper, gold and silver where there are outstanding non-hedge derivatives (“QP hedges”) which are intended to manage the provisional pricing risk arising from quotational period terms in concentrate sales agreements, we will no longer remove the impact of derivative mark-to-market adjustments on QP hedges included in revenues reported in the consolidated financial statements. We expect that gains and losses on QP hedges will offset provisional pricing adjustments on concentrate sales contracts, so this change is expected to result in a realized price that is better reflective of the proceeds we expect to receive. There has been no change in the realized price calculation methodology for zinc or where copper, gold and silver are being hedged using derivatives other than QP hedges.

Cost of sales   198,684     146,344     424,386     262,425  

Total cost of sales for the second quarter of 2016 was $198.7 million, reflecting an increase of $52.4 million from the second quarter of 2015. Cost of sales related to Peru was $57.1 million higher as a result of the Constancia mine and concentrator achieving commercial production during the second quarter of 2015. Cost of sales related to Manitoba was $4.7 million lower than the same period in 2015. For Manitoba, depreciation and changes in domestic inventory increased primarily due to the fact that in the prior year there was a build up of concentrate inventory due to rail service limitations which were resolved in the third quarter of 2015. This was partially offset by decreases in purchased zinc concentrate. In addition, in the second quarter of 2016, G&A and other charges decreased by $26.3 million compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to cost reduction efforts and the fact that the prior year included past service costs of $17.1 million associated with new collective bargaining agreements. For Manitoba, costs incurred in Canadian dollars were lower in US dollar terms in the current period compared to the prior period as a result of the weaker Canadian dollar versus the US dollar.

Year-to date cost of sales for 2016 was $424.4 million, an increase of $162.0 million compared to the same period in 2015. Cost of sales related to Peru was $174.3 million higher as a result of the Constancia mine and concentrator achieving commercial production during the second quarter of 2015. Cost of sales related to Manitoba was $12.3 million lower than the same period in 2015 primarily due to the same factors that impacted the second quarter cost of sales.

For details on unit operating costs refer to the respective tables in the “Operations Review” section beginning on page 4 of this MD&A.

17


For the second quarter of 2016, other significant variances in expenses, compared to the same period in 2015, include the following:

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million. This was mainly the result of a decrease of $2.3 million in general support costs as a result of efforts to reduce discretionary spending. This was partially offset by higher share based compensation expenses from the impact of re-valuing these rewards to a higher common share price at June 30, 2016 compared to March 31, 2016.

 

Asset impairment expenses were $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of the decision not to proceed with the construction of a new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the NBM Mill in May 2015.

 

Finance expenses increased by $11.0 million mostly as a result of the achievement of commercial production at Constancia effective April 30, 2015. This triggered the cessation of capitalization of interest costs associated with our senior unsecured notes resulting in the recognition of approximately $10.1 million of more interest costs on the consolidated interim income statements. In addition, we incurred higher interest costs and amortization of finance fees on our Facilities of $2.8 million, which were a function of drawdowns on these Facilities.

 

Other finance gains decreased by $2.1 million primarily as a result of:


 

Foreign exchange gains decreased by $2.3 million to $1.1 million.

 

Mark-to-market on warrants resulted in losses of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to gains of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2015.

 

A fair value adjustment on the embedded derivative related to the senior unsecured notes and our gold option liability related to the acquisition of the NBM Mill resulted in a loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to a gain of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Partially offsetting these impacts were disposals, impairment and mark-to-market adjustments on held for trading investments, which resulted in a net gain of $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to a loss of $1.6 million during the same period last year.

For 2016 year-to-date, other significant variances in expenses from operations, compared to 2015, include the following:

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million. This was mainly the result of a decrease of $2.3 million in general support costs as a result of efforts to reduce discretionary spending.

 

Asset impairment expenses were $19.9 million for year-to-date 2015 as a result of the decision not to proceed with construction of the new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the NBM Mill in May 2015.

 

Finance expenses increased by $37.4 million mostly as a result of the achievement of commercial production at Constancia. This triggered the cessation of capitalization of interest costs associated with our senior unsecured notes resulting in the recognition of approximately $33.1 million of additional interest costs on the consolidated interim income statements. In addition, we incurred higher interest costs and amortization of finance fees on our facilities, which were a function of drawdowns on these Facilities.

 

Other finance losses decreased by $2.3 million primarily as a result of:


 

Foreign exchange losses decreased by $4.9 million to $0.2 million. The reduced losses were mainly a function of a weakening Canadian dollar versus the US dollar in the prior year period which resulted in losses on US denominated long-term debt balances in the Canadian functional currency of the parent entity at that time. Since the parent entity was changed to US functional currency on July 1, 2015, this currency fluctuation no longer has an impact on foreign exchange in the income statements for 2016.

 

Mark-to-market on warrants resulted in losses of $0.8 million in the current year-to-date period compared to losses of $2.6 million in the comparative period in 2015.

18


 

Disposals, impairment and mark-to-market adjustments on held for trading investments resulted in a net gain of $1.1 million during the current period of 2016 compared to a loss of $2.9 million during the same period last year.

 

Partially offsetting these impacts was the fair value adjustment on the embedded derivative related to the senior unsecured notes and our gold option liability related to the acquisition of the NBM Mill that resulted in a loss of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to a gain of $7.3 million during the same period last year.

Tax Expense (Recovery)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, tax expense increased by $13.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The following table provides further details:

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate on the loss before tax for 2016 year-to-date was approximately negative 47.6% (2015 year-to-date - 1.4%) . Applying the estimated Canadian statutory income tax rate of 27.0% to our loss before taxes of $10.3 million would have resulted in a tax recovery of approximately $2.8 million; however, we recorded an income tax expense of $4.9 million (2015 year-to-date recovery - $0.8 million). The significant items causing our effective income tax rate to be different than the 27.0% estimated Manitoba statutory income tax rate include:

Certain deductible temporary differences with respect to additional liabilities for Manitoba decommissioning and restoration and other employee benefit liabilities were not recognized, as it is was not probable that we would realize the recovery based on the timing of the reversals of the deductible temporary differences and the future projected taxable profit of the Manitoba operations, adjusted for the average annual effective rate methodology, resulting in an increase in deferred tax expense of approximately $4.2 million (2015 year-to-date - $6.5 million);

The tax benefit of certain Peruvian expenses was not recognized in the year since it was not considered probable that the benefit of these expenditures would be realized as the tax authorities in Peru would view them as non-deductible expenditures for income tax purposes, resulting in an increase in deferred tax expense of $4.5 million (2015 year-to-date - $0.6 million);

Certain deductible temporary differences with respect to our foreign operations are recorded using an income tax rate other than the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 27.0%, resulting in a decrease in deferred tax expense of $2.6 million (2015 year-to-date - $2.1 million);

A decrease in the deferred tax expense of $3.0 million due to the fact that certain Canadian non-monetary assets are recognized at historical cost while the tax bases of the assets change as exchange rates fluctuate, which gives rise to taxable temporary differences; and

Increases to our decommissioning and restoration liabilities in Manitoba resulting from a decrease in discount rates required us to record a corresponding non-cash increase to property, plant, and equipment. We recognized a deferred tax expense of $3.7 million (2015 year-to-date - $0.8 million) related to the increase in property, plant and equipment; however, we did not recognize a deferred tax recovery related to the increase in the decommissioning and restoration liabilities because we determined it is not probable that we will realize the benefit of the recovery.

Mining Tax Expense

Applying the estimated Manitoba mining tax rate of 10.0% to our loss before taxes for 2016 year-to-date of $10.3 million would have resulted in a tax recovery of approximately $1.0 million and we recorded a mining tax expense of $6.2 million (2015 year-to-date - $7.6 million). For year-to date 2016, our effective rate for mining taxes was approximately negative 60.4% (2015 year-to-date - 13.3%) . Effective mining tax rates can vary significantly based on the composition of our earnings and the expected amount of mining taxable profits. Corporate costs and other costs not related to mining operations are not deductible in computing mining profits. A brief description of how mining taxes are calculated in our various business units is discussed below.

Manitoba

The Province of Manitoba imposes mining tax on profit related to the sale of mineral products mined in the Province of Manitoba (mining taxable profit) at the following rates:

10% of total mining taxable profit if mining profit is $50 million or less;
15% of total mining taxable profit if mining profits are between $55 million and $100 million; and
17% of total mining taxable profit if mining profits exceed $105 million.

We estimate that the tax rate that will be applicable when temporary differences reverse will be approximately 10.0% .

20


Peru

The Peruvian government imposes two parallel mining tax regimes, the Special Mining Tax and the Modified Royalty, on companies' operating mining income on a sliding scale, with progressive rates ranging from 2.0% to 8.4% and 1.0% to 12.0%, respectively. Based on financial forecasts, we have recorded a deferred tax liability as at June 30, 2016 at the tax rate we expect to apply when temporary differences reverse.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facilities

On March 30, 2016, we amended and restated our Canadian and Peruvian Facilities to consolidate the lender groups and restructure the two Facilities to provide, among other things, more flexible financial covenants. During the second quarter, an additional commitment of $30.0 million was received, bringing total availability under the Facilities to $530.0 million.

As at June 30, 2016, $36.4 million of letters of credit had been advanced under the Canadian Facility to support our reclamation obligations in Manitoba. Including borrowings and letters of credit, a total of $243.4 million was drawn down under the Canadian Facility as at June 30, 2016. As at June 30, 2016, we had $135.0 million owing under the Peruvian Facility, and $151.6 million in undrawn availability under both Facilities.

As at June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with our covenants under the Facilities.

Equipment Finance Facility

In October 2013, we entered into an equipment financing facility to finance the purchase of components of the mobile fleet at our Constancia operations. Loans pursuant to the equipment financing facility have a term of six years, amortized on a quarterly basis, and are secured by the financed equipment. As at June 30, 2016, we had approximately $62.6 million owing under the facility.

Financial Condition

Financial Condition as at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $88.1 million from December 31, 2015 to $141.9 million as at June 30, 2016. This increase was mainly a result of operating cash flow of $239.1 million and net borrowings of $31.1 million. Operating cash flow was partly offset by $98.7 million of capital investments primarily at our Peru and Manitoba operations, interest payments of $53.9 million, deposits of restricted cash mostly in Manitoba of $22.7 million and financing costs of $9.6 million. We hold the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in low-risk, liquid investments with major Canadian and Peruvian financial institutions.

Working capital increased by $55.3 million to $112.9 million from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016. In addition to the increased cash and cash equivalents position:

Current portion of long-term debt decreased by $53.4 million mainly as a result of amendments to the Peru Facility;

Trade and other payables decreased by $35.1 million primarily as a result of the timing of capital spending resulting in higher trade payables at December 31, 2015;

Inventories increased by $9.4 million mainly as a result of increased stockpile inventory, which is expected to return to normal levels by the end of 2016;

Trade and other receivables decreased by $100.0 million primarily due to the timing of sales and receipts of statutory amounts owing;

Other liabilities increased by $23.4 million mainly as a result of customer payments received in advance of revenue recognition; and

Other financial assets decreased by $13.7 million mainly as a result of market-to-market valuations on QP hedging.

Operating cash flows before change in non-cash working capital were $75.1 million during the second quarter of 2016, reflecting an increase of $58.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2015, mainly as a result of higher sales volumes and an improving gross margin following the achievement of commercial production at Constancia. Changes in non-cash working capital generated $62.5 million of cash in the second quarter of 2016 mostly due to the timing of collections of trade and statutory tax receivables.

Year-to-date cash generated from operating activities was $239.1 million in 2016, an increase of $228.3 million compared with the same period last year. This increase is mostly the result of higher sales volumes and gross margins following the achievement of commercial production at Constancia and statutory tax refunds.

Cash Flow from Investing and Financing Activities

During the second quarter of 2016, we used $80.6 million in investing and financing activities primarily driven by capital expenditures of $52.4 million, interest and financing fee payments of $10.6 million, and principal payments of $24.1 million. In addition, a letter of credit issued under our Facilities to support pension obligations of the Manitoba business unit was reissued as a cash-collateralized letter of credit, resulting in an increase in the restricted cash balance of $17.6 million. This was partially offset by net proceeds on long-term borrowings of $19.5 million and net proceeds of $5.0 million related to an issuance of equity in connection with the vesting of restricted share unit awards.

Year-to-date, we used $151.4 million of cash in investing and financing activities primarily driven by capital expenditures, interest and finance fee payments, reclassifications to restricted cash and principal repayments.

Sustaining capital expenditure guidance excludes capitalized interest.

Sustaining capital expenditures in Manitoba for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $15.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2015. This increase is primarily due to increased capital development at our Lalor mine.

Sustaining capital expenditures in Manitoba for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $38.7 million, an increase of $8.6 million compared to the same period in 2015. This increase is the result of major mobile equipment arriving in the first quarter of 2016. Manitoba capital expenditures are expected to decline over the balance of 2016 and are expected to remain within guidance ranges.

Sustaining capital expenditures in Peru for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $30.8 million and $51.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $14.3 million and $16.9 million, compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease is the result of the cost reduction initiatives.

Sustaining capital expenditures in Peru are expected to be highest during the second and third quarters of 2016, as heavy civil earthworks activity on the Constancia tailings dam ramps up during the dry season. Capital expenditures in Arizona on the Rosemont project are expected to decline substantially over the balance of 2016. Capital expenditures for 2016 are expected to remain within guidance expectations.

Other Peru capitalized costs included capitalized pre-commercial production operating costs, net of pre-commercial production sales receipts as well as decommissioning and restoration adjustments. Other Manitoba capitalized costs include decommissioning and restoration adjustments.

23


Capital Commitments

As at June 30, 2016, we had outstanding capital commitments in Canada of approximately $0.6 million primarily related to a committed mobile equipment purchase, of which approximately $0.2 million cannot be terminated by Hudbay; approximately $70.6 million in Peru related to sustaining capital costs, of which all can be terminated by Hudbay; and approximately $163.5 million in Arizona, primarily related to the Rosemont project and expected to be paid after the commencement of Rosemont construction, of which approximately $79.7 million cannot be terminated by Hudbay.

Liquidity

As at June 30, 2016, we had total liquidity of approximately $293.5 million, including $141.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, as well as $151.6 million in availability under our Facilities. We expect that our current liquidity and future cash flows will be sufficient to meet our obligations in the coming year.

Outstanding Share Data

As of July 26, 2016, there were 236,231,688 common shares of Hudbay issued and outstanding. In addition, Hudbay warrants to acquire an aggregate of 21,830,490 common shares of Hudbay were outstanding and Augusta warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,039,500 common shares of Hudbay and 561,000 warrants of Hudbay were outstanding; there were also options for an aggregate of 1,490,381 common shares outstanding.

Operating cash flow per share is before precious metals stream deposit and change in non-cash working capital. It is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information and a detailed reconciliation, refer to the discussion under "Non-IFRS Financial Reporting Measures" beginning on page 25 of this MD&A.

2

Operating cash flow per share has been restated to reflect the presentation changes with respect to receivable and payable balances associated with copper fixed for floating swaps. For more information on this change, refer to note 4b of our June 30, 2016 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

With the ramp-up of Constancia since reaching commercial production in the second quarter of 2015, the increased production volumes have generally trended revenues and gross profit higher since the end of 2014, notwithstanding lower realized metals prices. Subsequent to Constancia reaching commercial production, we no longer capitalize interest costs associated with financing Constancia development and therefore those charges are recognized as finance expenses. In addition, mining costs have been favourably impacted in the Manitoba business unit with the weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar, which lowers costs denominated in Canadian dollars.

24


In the second quarter of 2016, revenues remained consistent with the first quarter of 2016 as higher realized prices for precious metals offset marginal declines in sales volume due to the timing of production. Gross margins and cash generated from operating activities improved compared to the first quarter of 2016 as costs at Constancia benefited from continued site optimization and the Manitoba business unit benefited from cost reduction efforts as well as the weaker Canadian dollar.

In the first quarter of 2016, we continued to benefit from increased sales volumes following commercial production being attained at Constancia. Lower average realized prices of copper compared to the same quarter of 2015 partially offset the continued strong production volumes from the Peru operations and caused both gross profit and operating cash flow per share to be lower than in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, goodwill and asset impairments for the Peru and Arizona CGUs of $378.9 million were taken mainly as a result of lower expected copper prices and an expected delay in construction at Rosemont, which had a negative impact on profit.

For information on previous trends and quarterly reviews, refer to our MD&A dated February 24, 2016.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital and operating cash flow per share are included in this MD&A because we believe that they help investors and management to evaluate changes in cash flow generated from the various operations while, in the case of operating cash flow per share, taking into account changes in shares outstanding. Net debt is shown because it is a performance measure used by the Company to assess our financial position. Cash cost, sustaining and all-in sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced are shown because we believe they help investors and management assess the performance of our operations, including the margin generated by the operations and the company. These measures do not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Cash Cost, Sustaining and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost

Cash cost per pound of copper produced (“cash cost”) is a non-IFRS measure that management uses as a key performance indicator to assess the performance of our operations. Our calculation designates copper as our primary metal of production as it has been, and is expected to be, the largest component of revenues. The calculation is presented in four manners:

Cash cost, before by-product credits - This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only pounds of copper produced, our primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by-product metals. It is, however, significantly affected by the relative mix of copper concentrate and finished zinc production, and an increase in production of zinc metal will tend to result in an increase in cash cost under this measure.

 

Cash cost, net of by-product credits - In order to calculate the net cost to produce and sell copper, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than copper. The by-product revenues from zinc, gold, and silver are significant and are integral to the economics of our operations. The economics that support our decision to produce and sell copper would be different if we did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum copper price consistent with positive operating cash flows and operating margins, assuming realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure our operating performance versus that of our competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside copper prices, the cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher copper price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

 

Sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits - This measure is an extension of cash cost that includes sustaining capital expenditures, capitalized exploration and net smelter returns royalties. It does not include corporate G&A. It provides a more fulsome measurement of the cost of sustaining production than cash cost, which is focused on operating costs only.

 

All-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits - This measure is an extension of sustaining cash cost that includes corporate G&A. Due to the inclusion of corporate G&A, all-in sustaining cash cost is presented on a consolidated basis only.

The tables below present a detailed build-up of cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, by business unit in addition to consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, and reconciliations between cash cost, net of by-product credits, to the most comparable IFRS measures of cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Cash cost, net of by-product credits may not calculate exactly based on amounts presented in the tables below due to rounding.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

For information on new standards and interpretations not yet adopted, refer to note 5 of our June 30, 2016 consolidated interim financial statements.

Estimates and judgements

For information on significant areas requiring us to make estimates and judgements, refer to note 2 of our June 30, 2016 consolidated interim financial statements.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”). ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

We did not make any changes to ICFR during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our ICFR.

NOTES TO READER

Forward-Looking Information

This MD&A contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. All information contained in this MD&A, other than statements of current and historical fact, is forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, “guidance”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “strategy”, “target”, “intends”, “objective”, “goal”, “understands”, “anticipates” and “believes” (and variations of these or similar words) and statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” “occur” or “be achieved” or “will be taken” (and variations of these or similar expressions). All of the forward-looking information in this MD&A is qualified by this cautionary note.

Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, production, cost and capital and exploration expenditure guidance, including anticipated capital and operating cost savings, anticipated production at our mines and processing facilities, events that may affect our operations and development projects, the potential to refurbish the New Britannia mill and utilize it to process ore from the Lalor mine, anticipated cash flows from operations and related liquidity requirements, the anticipated effect of external factors on revenue, such as commodity prices, economic outlook, government regulation of mining operations, and business and acquisition strategies. Forward-looking information is not, and cannot be, a guarantee of future results or events. Forward-looking information is based on, among other things, opinions, assumptions, estimates and analyses that, while considered reasonable by us at the date the forward-looking information is provided, inherently are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.

The material factors or assumptions that we identified and were applied by us in drawing conclusions or making forecasts or projections set out in the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to:

 

the success of mining, processing, exploration and development activities;

 

the success of Hudbay’s cost reduction initiatives;

 

the accuracy of geological, mining and metallurgical estimates;

 

anticipated metals prices and the costs of production;

32


  the supply and demand for metals we produce;
  the supply and availability of concentrate for our processing facilities;
  the supply and availability of third party processing facilities for our concentrate;
  the supply and availability of all forms of energy and fuels at reasonable prices;
  the availability of transportation services at reasonable prices;
  no significant unanticipated operational or technical difficulties;
  the execution of our business and growth strategies, including the success of our strategic investments and initiatives;
  the availability of additional financing, if needed;
  the ability to complete project targets on time and on budget and other events that may affect our ability to develop our projects;
  the timing and receipt of various regulatory and governmental approvals;
  the availability of personnel for our exploration, development and operational projects and ongoing employee relations;
  the ability to secure required land rights to develop the Pampacancha deposit;
  maintaining good relations with the communities in which we operate, including the communities surrounding our Constancia mine and Rosemont project and First Nations communities surrounding our Lalor and Reed mines;
  no significant unanticipated challenges with stakeholders at our various projects;
  no significant unanticipated events or changes relating to regulatory, environmental, health and safety matters;
  no contests over title to our properties, including as a result of rights or claimed rights of aboriginal peoples;
  the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation and no significant unanticipated litigation;
  certain tax matters, including, but not limited to current tax laws and regulations and the refund of certain value added taxes from the Canadian and Peruvian governments; and
  no significant and continuing adverse changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets (including commodity prices and foreign exchange rates).

The risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information may include, but are not limited to, risks generally associated with the mining industry, such as economic factors (including future commodity prices, currency fluctuations, energy prices and general cost escalation), uncertainties related to the development and operation of our projects (including risks associated with the economics and permitting of the Rosemont project and related legal challenges), risks related to the maturing nature of our 777 mine and its impact on the related Flin Flon metallurgical complex, dependence on key personnel and employee and union relations, risks related to political or social unrest or change, risks in respect of aboriginal and community relations, rights and title claims, operational risks and hazards, including unanticipated environmental, industrial and geological events and developments and the inability to insure against all risks, failure of plant, equipment, processes, transportation and other infrastructure to operate as anticipated, planned infrastructure improvements in Peru not being completed on schedule or as planned, compliance with government and environmental regulations, including permitting requirements and anti-bribery legislation, depletion of our reserves, volatile financial markets that may affect our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, the permitting and development of the Rosemont project not occurring as planned, the failure to obtain required approvals or clearances from government authorities on a timely basis, uncertainties related to the geology, continuity, grade and estimates of mineral reserves and resources, and the potential for variations in grade and recovery rates, uncertain costs of reclamation activities, our ability to comply with our pension and other post-retirement obligations, our ability to abide by the covenants in our debt instruments and other material contracts, tax refunds, hedging transactions, as well as the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Information Form.

33


Should one or more risk, uncertainty, contingency or other factor materialize or should any factor or assumption prove incorrect, actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this MD&A or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law.

Change in Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of each of our subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. We reconsider the functional currency of our entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment. Prior to July 1, 2015, our consolidated financial statements were presented in Canadian dollars, which was our and all our material subsidiaries' functional currency, except for Hudbay Peru, HudBay (BVI) Inc. and the Hudbay Arizona entities, which have a functional currency of US dollars.

The ability of Hudbay Peru to repatriate funds in US dollars, as a result of reaching commercial production in the first half of 2015, and the purchase of Hudbay Arizona have significantly increased our exposure to the US dollar as cash inflows are now predominantly in US dollars and revenue and costs related to Constancia operations and Rosemont development are denominated in US dollars. Consequently, effective July 1, 2015, the US dollar was adopted as our corporate entity’s functional currency on a prospective basis. All our subsidiaries continue to measure the items in their financial statements using their functional currencies.

Effective July 1, 2015, we changed our presentation currency to US dollars from Canadian dollars. This change in presentation currency was made to better reflect our business activities, comprised primarily of US dollar revenues as well as associated US dollar denominated financings, and is consistent with our peers. The consolidated financial statements for all years presented have been translated into the new presentation currency in accordance with International Accounting Standard 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Note to United States Investors

This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to US issuers.

Presentation of Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

We use realized prices as a non-IFRS financial performance measure in our MD&A. For a detailed description, please see the discussion under “Financial Review” beginning on page 11 of this MD&A. In addition, we use operating cash flow per share, sustaining and all-in sustaining cash costs per pound of copper produced, and cash cost per pound of copper produced as non-IFRS financial performance measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-IFRS financial performance measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures” beginning on page 25 of this MD&A.

Qualified Person

The technical and scientific information in this MD&A related to the Constancia mine has been approved by Cashel Meagher, P. Geo, our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The technical and scientific information related to all other sites and projects contained in this MD&A has been approved by Robert Carter, P. Eng, our Director, Business Development and Technical Services at our Manitoba Business Unit. Messrs. Meagher and Carter are qualified persons pursuant to NI 43-101. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates of scientific and technical information may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors, please see the Technical Reports for our material properties as filed by us on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Reporting entity

     

HudBay Minerals Inc. ("HMI", “Hudbay” or the "Company") was amalgamated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 15, 2011. The address of the Company's principal executive office is 25 York Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 represent the financial position and the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Hudbay” and individually as “Group entities”).

     

Significant subsidiaries, as at June 30, 2016, include Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (“HBMS”), Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (“HBED”), HudBay Marketing & Sales Inc. (“HMS”), HudBay Peru Inc., HudBay Peru S.A.C. ("Hudbay Peru"), HudBay (BVI) Inc., HudBay Arizona Corporation (formerly Augusta Resource Corporation, “Augusta” or “Hudbay Arizona”) and Rosemont Copper Company (“Rosemont”).

     

Hudbay is an integrated mining company producing copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver) and zinc metal. With assets in North and South America, the Group is focused on the discovery, production and marketing of base and precious metals. Through its subsidiaries, Hudbay owns four polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators and a zinc production facility in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Canada) and Cusco (Peru) and a copper project in Arizona (United States). The Company is governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and its shares are listed under the symbol "HBM" on the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Bolsa de Valores de Lima. Hudbay also has warrants listed under the symbol “HBM.WT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and “HBM/WS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

     

Management does not consider the impact of seasonality on operations to be significant on the interim financial statements.

     
2.

Basis of preparation

     
(a)

Statement of compliance:

     

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

     

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies are presented as note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

     

The Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements on July 27, 2016.

(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

  (b)

Functional and presentation currency:

     
 

The Group's interim financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Company’s and all material subsidiaries' functional currency, except for HBMS, HBED and HMS, which have a functional currency of Canadian dollars. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000) except where otherwise indicated. The Company changed its functional and presentation currency effective July 1, 2015, the details of which are described in note 4a.

     
  (c)

Use of judgement:

     
 

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group to make judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in applying accounting policies that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

     
 

The interim financial statements reflect the judgements outlined by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

     
  (d)

Use of estimates and assumptions:

     
 

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

     
 

The interim financial statements reflect the estimates outlined by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.


3.

Significant accounting policies

   

These interim financial statements reflect the accounting policies applied by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and comparative periods.

   
4.

Restatements


  (a)

Change in functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Group reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment. Prior to July 1, 2015, the Group's consolidated financial statements were presented in Canadian dollars, which was the Company’s and all material subsidiaries' functional currency, except for Hudbay Peru, HudBay (BVI) Inc. and the Hudbay Arizona entities, which had a functional currency of US dollars.

HUDBAY MINERALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

The ability for Hudbay Peru to repatriate funds in US dollars, as a result of reaching commercial production in the first half of 2015, and the purchase of Hudbay Arizona have significantly increased the Company’s exposure to the US dollar as cash inflows are now predominantly in US dollars and revenue and costs related to Constancia operations and Rosemont development are denominated in US dollars. Consequently, effective July 1, 2015, the US dollar was adopted as the Company’s functional currency on a prospective basis. All the Group’s subsidiaries continue to measure the items in their financial statements using their functional currencies.

Effective July 1, 2015, the Group changed its presentation currency to US dollars from Canadian dollars. This change in presentation currency was made to better reflect the Group’s business activities, comprised primarily of US dollar revenues as well as associated US dollar denominated financings, and is consistent with the Group’s peers. The interim financial statements for all years presented have been translated into the new presentation currency in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The condensed consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been translated into the presentation currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each monthly reporting period. In addition, shareholders’ equity balances have been translated using historical rates based on rates in effect on the date of material transactions.

Restatement of amounts within cash generated from operating activities

     
 

Since the fourth quarter of 2015, the Group has significantly increased the number of copper fixed for floating swaps in order to manage the risk associated with provisional pricing terms in copper concentrate sales agreements. As a result, the Group has restated the presentation of the cash generated from operating activities section of the statements of cash flow to present the changes in the respective receivable and payable balances associated with these items all within changes in non-cash working capital. In the past, the gains or losses for the swaps were presented as a change in fair value of derivatives and the associated mark-to-market adjustments were presented as a change in non-cash working capital. The impact of this restatement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is a decrease in 'operating cash flows before change in non-cash working capital' of $559 and $1,998, respectively, with an associated increase in 'change in non-cash working capital'.

New standards

New standards and interpretations adopted

As required by the IASB, effective January 1, 2016 the Group adopted the following amendment to IFRS:

 

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38, Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”) - the amendments to clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of a tangible asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of a tangible asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The IASB has also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption for an intangible asset, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. The Group’s adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on its method of calculating depreciation or amortization.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) - issued on July 24, 2014 is the IASB’s replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard includes requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting. The IASB completed its project to replace IAS 39 in phases, adding to the standard as it completed each phase. The version of IFRS 9 issued in 2014 supersedes all previous versions and is mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted (subject to local endorsement requirements). For a limited period, the previous version of IFRS 9 may be adopted early if not already done so provided the relevant date of initial application is before February 1, 2015. IFRS 9 does not replace the requirements for portfolio fair value hedge accounting for interest rate risk (often referred to as the “macro hedge accounting” requirements) since this phase of the project was separated from the IFRS 9 project due to the longer term nature of the macro hedging project which is currently at the discussion paper phase of the due process. The Group has not yet determined the effect of adoption of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) - in May 2014, the IASB issued this standard which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRS 15 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (i.e. service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The Group intends to adopt IFRS 15 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2018. The IASB has affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of this standard to January 1, 2018. The Group has not yet determined the effect of adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements.

   

 

IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) - in January 2016, the IASB issued this standard which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, which replaces the current guidance in IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”), and is to be applied either retrospectively or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted, but only in conjunction with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflective of future lease payments and a “right-of-use asset” for virtually all lease contracts. The Group has not yet determined the effect of adoption of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of New Britannia Mine and Mill

On May 4, 2015, the Group acquired a 100% interest in the New Britannia Mine and Mill, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba, for $12,302 in cash consideration, plus a contingent payment of $5,000. In connection with the New Britannia acquisition, the Group entered into a private placement agreement with a Canadian bank to sell 1,357,000 Hudbay common shares for net proceeds of $13,040.

In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, this transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination as the assets acquired are not an integrated set of activities with inputs, processes and outputs. New Britannia Mine and Mill is not an operation.

The purchase price of $14,462 was finalized and allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the total consideration at the closing date of the acquisition. All financial assets acquired and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at their relative fair values. In addition, an option liability was recorded for the fair value amount of $1,164 in connection with the contingent consideration since it is an integral component of the consideration paid and represents a financial instrument. The fair values were allocated to the net assets on a relative fair value basis and the option liability was valued using the Black-Scholes model.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Group recognized impairment losses on investments in listed shares and transferred pre-tax losses of $127 and $226, respectively, from the available-for-sale reserve within equity to the condensed consolidated interim income statements (three and six months ended June 30, 2015 - $1,588 and $2,891, respectively).

Impairment

     
 

As a result of the acquisition of the New Britannia Mill (note 6), Hudbay no longer expects to construct a new concentrator at Lalor. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Group recognized an impairment loss of $19,916 related to its concentrator assets at Lalor in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The impairment was determined based on the difference between carrying value and fair value less costs of disposal. On the condensed consolidated interim income statements, the impairment loss is presented in the asset impairment loss line item. The Group presents the asset impairment loss within the Manitoba segment in note 24.

     
 

The fair value measurements for the determination of impairment charges in their entirety are categorized as Level 3 based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value.

As at June 30, 2016, $67,101 (December 31, 2015 - $111,991) of the current statutory receivables relates to refundable sales taxes in Peru that Hudbay Peru has paid on capital expenditures and operating expenses. Management expects to receive the amount within one year. Significant judgements are required on measurement and classification of Peruvian sales taxes paid on capital expenditures and operating expenses (note 2c).

As commercial production commenced at the Reed mine on April 1, 2014, the Group has a receivable for 30% of the applicable development costs as well as other amounts due from the joint venture partner, VMS Ventures Inc., pursuant to the Reed Lake Project Joint Venture Agreement. The receivable will be repaid by offsetting amounts owed to VMS Ventures Inc. for the purchase of their proportionate share of the Reed mine ore. The receivable has been discounted and has been classified based on the expected timing of ore purchases. As at June 30, 2016, this receivable from VMS Ventures Inc. was $10,586 (December 31, 2015 - $11,775).

Available-for-sale investments

As at June 30, 2016, available-for-sale investments consist of investments in Canadian-listed metals and mining companies, most of which are publicly traded. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 the Group recognized impairment losses of $127 and $226, respectively, related to its investments in the available-for-sale reserve within equity (three and six months ended June 30, 2015 - $1,588 and $2,891, respectively) (note 7e).

Restricted cash

As required by Peruvian law, Hudbay Peru provides security with respect to its decommissioning and restoration obligations. Hudbay Peru has provided a letter of credit in the amount of $68,781 as at June 30, 2016, and classified cash on deposit with a Peruvian bank to support the letter of credit as restricted cash (December 31, 2015 - $63,465).

During the second quarter of 2016, a letter of credit issued under the Group’s revolving credit facilities to support pension obligations of the Manitoba business unit was reissued as a cash-collateralized letter of credit, resulting in an increase in restricted cash balances of $17,352.

Other financial liabilities at amortized cost relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia operation which allow Hudbay to extract minerals over the useful life of the Constancia operation, carry out exploration and evaluation activities in the area and provide Hudbay with community support to operate in the region.

The derivative liabilities include derivative and hedging transactions as well as warrants issued as consideration for the acquisition of Augusta and warrants assumed on the acquisition of Augusta. Derivative liabilities are carried at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded to the condensed consolidated interim income statements in other finance (gain) loss. The fair value of derivative and hedging transactions are determined based on internal valuation models and the fair value of warrants issued are determined based on the quoted market prices for the listed warrants. The fair value of these warrants at June 30, 2016 is $6,208 (December 31, 2015 - $5,047). A total of 21,830,490 warrants were issued which entitle the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of C$15.00 per share on, but not prior to, July 20, 2018. The Company, may, at its option, upon written notice to the warrant holders, settle the exercise of warrants for the in-the-money value, in cash, shares or a combination thereof.

The purchase price of the acquisition of New Britannia Mine and Mill (note 6) contained an option (European) that pays the seller $5,000 if the price of gold is equal to or above $1,400/oz on May 4, 2018. The option represents a financial liability and was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date of New Britannia and will be remeasured at each reporting date with the change in the fair value being recognized as unrealized gains or losses in finance income and expense.

On March 30, 2016, the Group completed a restructuring of its two senior credit facilities and on June 17, 2016 a new accordion lender joined the syndicate which increased the maximum available amount under the Canadian facility by $30 million. The two facilities now share substantially similar terms and conditions, except that the $330 million Canada facility is secured by the Group’s Manitoba assets and the $200 million Peru facility is secured by the Group’s Peru assets. The facilities mature on March 31, 2019, and bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.50% .

Other disclosure:

The tax rules and regulations applicable to mining companies are highly complex and subject to interpretation. The Group may be subject in the future to a review of its historic income and other tax filings and, in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain tax rules and regulations in respect of the Group’s business. These reviews may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions. The amount ultimately reassessed upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount accrued.

The determination of the diluted weighted-average number of common shares excludes 3,958,589 and 5,287,448 shares, related to stock options that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 (three and six months ended June 30, 2015 - 1,097,077 and 1,321,959 shares, respectively). The calculation also excludes all 21,830,490 Hudbay warrants issued as consideration for the acquisition of Augusta as they are out of the money.

For periods where Hudbay records a loss, the Group calculates diluted loss per share using the basic weighted average number of shares. If the diluted weighted average number of share was used, the result would be a reduction in the loss, which would be anti-dilutive. Consequently, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Group calculated diluted loss per share using 235,308,611 and 235,270,150 common shares, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Group calculated diluted loss per share using 234,588,385 and 234,109,246 common shares, respectively.

  1

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

  2

Excludes embedded provisional pricing derivatives, as well as tax and other statutory amounts.

  3

Derivatives and embedded provisional pricing derivatives are carried at their fair value, which is determined based on internal valuation models that reflect observable forward market commodity prices, currency exchange rates, and discount factors based on market US dollar interest rates adjusted for credit risk. For the warrant and option liabilities, fair value is determined based on quoted market closing price or the Black-Scholes model.

  4

Available-for-sale investments are carried at their fair value, which is determined using quoted market bid prices in active markets for listed shares and determined using valuation models for shares of private companies. Investments at FVTPL consist of warrants to purchase listed shares, which are carried at fair value as determined using a Black-Scholes model.

  5

These financial liabilities relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia project in Peru (note 14). Fair values have been determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on expected cash flows and a credit adjusted discount rate.

  6

Fair value of the senior unsecured notes (note 15) has been determined using the quoted market price at the period end.

  7

Fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative related to the long-term debt (note 15) has been determined using a binomial tree/lattice approach based on the Hull-White single factor interest rate term structure model.

  8

The carrying value of the facilities approximates the fair value as the facilities are based on floating interest rates.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below provides an analysis by valuation method of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to recognition. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

  Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  Level 2:

Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and

  Level 3:

Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Group's Level 3 investment relates to a minority investment in an unlisted junior mining company. As no observable inputs exist, the Group measures the Level 3 investment at the cost of the investment. The Group monitors business developments and the financial position of the investee to evaluate whether the fair value of the investment has changed significantly. Factors that could result in a significantly lower fair value measurement include poor exploration results or inadequate liquidity to continue as a going concern, among other factors. Factors that would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement include positive exploration results, among other factors.

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Group did not make any transfers.

Derivatives and hedging:

Copper fixed for floating swaps

Hudbay enters into copper fixed for floating swaps in order to manage the risk associated with provisional pricing terms in copper concentrate sales agreements. As at June 30, 2016, the Group had 44,906 tonnes of net copper swaps at an average net fixed receivable price of $2.14/lb and settling across July to November 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Group had 77,111 tonnes of copper fixed for floating swaps outstanding at an average fixed receivable price $2.37/lb, settling across January 2016 through March 2016. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at June 30, 2016 was a liability position of $5,927 (December 31, 2015 - an asset position of $16,436).

Non-hedge derivative gold and silver contracts

From time to time, the Group enters into gold and silver forward sales contracts to hedge the commodity price risk associated with the future settlement of provisionally priced deliveries. At June 30, 2016, the Group held no gold or silver forward sales contracts. At December 31, 2015 the Group held 151,327 ounces of silver forward sales contracts and prices ranged from $14.17 to $15.21. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at December 31, 2015 was an asset position of $86.

Non-hedge derivative zinc contracts

Hudbay enters into fixed price sales contracts with zinc customers and, to ensure that the Group continues to receive a floating or unhedged realized zinc price, Hudbay enters into forward zinc purchase contracts that effectively offset the fixed price sales contracts. At June 30, 2016, the Group held contracts for forward zinc purchased of 10,852 tonnes (December 31, 2015 – 16,438 tonnes) that related to forward customer sales of zinc. Prices range from $1,514 to $2,343 per tonne (December 31, 2015 – $1,497 to $2,343) and settlement dates extended to December 2016. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at June 30, 2016 was net asset position of $2,598 (December 31, 2015 – a net liability position of $4,386).

Embedded derivatives

Provisional pricing embedded derivatives

The Group records embedded derivatives related to provisional pricing in concentrate purchase, concentrate sale and certain other sale contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, prices are subject to final adjustment at the end of a future period after title transfers based on quoted market prices during the quotation period specified in the contract. The period between provisional pricing and final pricing is typically up to three months.

Provisional pricing embedded derivatives are presented in trade and other receivables when they relate to sales contracts and in trade and other payables when they relate to purchase contracts. At each reporting date, provisionally priced metals are marked to market based on the forward market price for the quotation period stipulated in the contract, with changes in fair value recognized in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales for purchase concentrate contracts. Cash flows related to provisional pricing embedded derivatives are classified in operating activities.

At June 30, 2016, the Group’s net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing for sales of 41,182 tonnes of copper (December 31, 2015 – 79,033 tonnes). In addition, at June 30, 2016, the Group’s net position consisted of contracts awaiting final pricing for sales of 14,654 ounces of gold and 107,933 ounces of silver (December 31, 2015 – 10,506 ounces of gold and 66,131 ounces of silver).

As at June 30, 2016, the Group’s provisionally priced copper, gold and silver sales subject to final settlement were recorded at average prices of $2.20/lb (December 31, 2015 – $2.14/lb), $1,320/oz (December 31, 2015 – $1,060/oz) and $18.60/oz (December 31, 2015 – $13.78/oz), respectively.

The aggregate fair value of the embedded derivatives within the copper concentrate sales contracts at June 30, 2016, was an asset position of $4,568 (December 31, 2015 – a liability of $13,653). The aggregate fair value of other embedded derivatives at June 30, 2016, was a liability position of $100 (December 31, 2015 – an asset position of $118).

22.

Capital commitments

As at June 30, 2016, the Group had outstanding capital commitments in Canada of approximately $606 primarily related to a committed mobile equipment purchase, of which approximately $186 cannot be terminated by the Group, approximately $70,594 in Peru related to sustaining capital costs, all of which can be terminated by the Group and approximately $163,459 in Arizona, primarily related to its Rosemont project, of which approximately $79,662 cannot be terminated by the Group.

Remeasurements of the Group's decommissioning and restoration liabilities as at June 30, 2016 led to a net increase in related property, plant and equipment assets of $23,165 mainly as a result of the decline in the discount rate. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, such remeasurements led to increases in property, plant and equipment assets of $8,664.

   

 

Property, plant and equipment included an immaterial amount of additions which were not yet paid for as at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015 - $36,890).

Hudbay Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results

Toronto, Ontario, July 27, 2016 – HudBay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “company”) (TSX, NYSE:HBM) today released its second quarter 2016 financial results. All amounts are in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Summary:

  •  

Increased production in both Peru and Manitoba across all metals compared to the second quarter of 2015

 

Cost efficiencies and economies of scale resulted in consolidated cash cost, net of by-product credits, of $0.83 per pound and all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, of $1.42 per pound1

 

Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital increased to $75.1 million, or $0.32 per share, from $17.0 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 20151

 

Total liquidity increased to $293.5 million compared to $190.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2016, including new commitments of $30.0 million under Hudbay’s revolving credit facilities

In the second quarter of 2016, cash generated from operating activities increased to $137.5 million from $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. In addition, operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital increased to $75.1 million in the current quarter from $17.0 million in the same quarter of 2015. Operating cash flow in the quarter benefited from substantially higher copper and precious metals sales volumes due to the Constancia project reaching commercial production on April 30, 2015. The increase in sales volumes and associated economies of scale more than offset the decline in realized sales prices of copper and zinc metals compared to the same quarter last year.

“We continue to be pleased with Constancia’s strong operating performance and the cost efficiencies achieved at all of our operations, resulting in positive free cash flow generated from the business,” said Alan Hair, president and chief executive officer. “We remain on track to meet the cost reduction initiatives we announced earlier this year, as well as our production, operating and capital cost guidance for 2016.”

The net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2016 were $5.7 million and $0.02, respectively, compared to a net loss and loss per share of $44.3 million and $0.19, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015. In the comparable period last year, there was an asset impairment charge of $19.9 million as a result of the decision not to proceed with construction of the new concentrator at Lalor following the acquisition of the New Britannia mine and mill. Net loss and loss per share in the second quarter of 2016 was affected by, among other things, non-cash deferred tax adjustments of $8.4 million or negative $0.04 per share.

2016 No. 13

Notwithstanding lower copper and zinc realized prices, revenues nearly doubled and gross profit increased more than ten-fold compared to the same quarter last year as a result of higher sales volumes and cost optimization at Hudbay’s operations. As a result of production growth and ongoing cost optimization initiatives, consolidated cash cost, net of by-product credits, declined to $0.83 per pound of copper produced from $1.28 per pound in the second quarter of 2015. Similarly, incorporating sustaining capital, capitalized exploration, royalties and corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) costs, consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, declined to $1.42 per pound from $2.28 per pound in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.80 per pound in the first quarter of 2016.

Sales of copper contained in concentrate lagged production in the second quarter of 2016 mainly as a result of a delay in loading a 20,000 tonne parcel of concentrate at the port of Matarani in Peru due to extended ocean swells in late June. Earnings per share and operating cash flow per share would have been approximately $0.02 and $0.05 higher, respectively, if this parcel had loaded prior to the end of the second quarter of 2016. Concentrate inventory at the Constancia mine site and the Matarani port are currently at normal working levels.

During the second quarter, a Canadian chartered bank joined the syndicate for Hudbay’s Canadian and Peruvian senior secured revolving credit facilities with $30.0 million in new commitments, bringing total commitments under the facilities to $530.0 million. Including this additional credit availability, cash flow generated from the business and collection of Peruvian sales tax refunds during the quarter, total liquidity at June 30, 2016 was $293.5 million, compared to $190.1 million at March 31, 2016.

A semi-annual dividend of $0.01 per share was declared on July 27, 2016. The dividend will be paid on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of September 9, 2016.

Peru Operations Review

During the second quarter of 2016, Constancia mining operations and cost optimization continued as planned. Ore mined during the second quarter of 2016 slightly decreased compared to the first quarter of 2016 as ore production rates were aligned to mill throughput rates. Mined and milled copper grades in the second quarter of 2016 were 0.64% and 0.62%, respectively, which is slightly higher than the first quarter of 2016. Mill throughput during the second quarter of 2016 was affected by higher than expected liner wear in the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills. The affected liners were successfully replaced in July 2016.

Optimization of plant performance remains the primary focus for Constancia. Total copper recovery in the second quarter of 2016 was 82.7%, compared to 81.8% in first quarter of 2016, as the metallurgy associated with the varying ore types is better understood.

During the second quarter of 2016, production of copper, gold and silver increased by 19%, 50% and 53%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2016. This growth is due to higher throughput, grades and recoveries at the mill.

TSX, NYSE – HBM
2016 No. 13

Combined unit operating costs for the second quarter of 2016 were $7.88 per tonne, within guidance expectations for 2016. Cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.97 and $1.39 per pound of copper produced, respectively, a decrease of 16% and 7% from the first quarter of 2016, which reflects higher production and ongoing plant optimization and cost reduction initiatives.

The port expansion at Matarani was completed at the end of June 2016, which improved access to Hudbay’s designated pier and reduced port costs.

Manitoba Operations Review

Ore mined at Hudbay’s Manitoba mines during the second quarter of 2016 increased by 17% compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of increased production at Lalor and 777. Copper grades were higher at Reed as a result of the stopes mined. This was offset by lower copper grades at the 777 and Lalor mines, as expected. Silver grades in the second quarter of 2016 were in line with the same period in 2015, while zinc and gold grades were lower than the second quarter of 2015 by 8% and 11%, respectively.

Ore processed in the Flin Flon concentrator in the second quarter of 2016 was 17% higher than the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of higher production at the 777 mine. Gold and silver recoveries were higher in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of higher head grades, while zinc recovery was slightly lower due to lower zinc head grades. Ore processed in the Snow Lake concentrator in the second quarter of 2016 was 15% higher than the same period in 2015 as a result of higher production at the Lalor mine.

During the second quarter of 2016, overall Manitoba production of copper, zinc, gold and silver were higher by 15%, 13%, 9% and 16%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of higher mill throughput, offset by lower grades when compared to the same quarter in 2015.

Manitoba combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs in the second quarter of 2016 were 18% lower than in the same period in 2015 as a result of higher overall production and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, and were in line with full year guidance expectations.

Manitoba cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, in the second quarter of 2016 was $0.37 and $1.10 per pound of copper produced, a decrease of 73% and 48%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease is largely the effect of decreased purchases of zinc concentrate for processing, a decrease in general support costs as a result of cost reduction initiatives, and a reduction in costs in US dollar terms as a result of the weaker Canadian dollar versus the US dollar. Cash cost and sustaining cash cost were also positively impacted by increased copper production and increased sales of precious metals.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

Operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital and operating cash flow per share are included in this news release because the company believes that they help investors and management to evaluate changes in cash flow generated from the various operations while, in the case of operating cash flow per share, taking into account changes in shares outstanding. Net debt is shown because it is a performance measure used by the company to assess its financial position. Cash cost, sustaining and all-in sustaining cash cost per pound of copper produced are shown because the company believes they help investors and management assess the performance of its operations, including the margin generated by the operations and the company. These measures do not have a meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For further details on these measures, including reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures, please refer to page 25 of Hudbay’s management’s discussion and analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Hudbay’s calculation of cash cost per pound of copper produced (“cash cost”) designates copper as the company’s primary metal of production as it has been, and is expected to be, the largest component of revenues. The calculation is presented in four manners:

 

Cash cost, before by-product credits – This measure is gross of by-product revenues and is a function of the efforts and costs incurred to mine and process all ore mined. However, the measure divides this aggregate cost over only pounds of copper produced, Hudbay’s primary metal of production. This measure is generally less volatile from period to period, as it is not affected by changes in the price received for by- product metals. It is, however, significantly affected by the relative mix of copper concentrate and finished zinc production, and an increase in production of zinc metal will tend to result in an increase in cash cost under this measure.

   

 

Cash cost, net of by-product credits – In order to calculate the net cost to produce and sell copper, the net of by-product credits measure subtracts the revenues realized from the sale of the metals other than copper. The by-product revenues from zinc, gold, and silver are significant and are integral to the economics of Hudbay’s operations. The economics that support Hudbay’s decision to produce and sell copper would be different if the company did not receive revenues from the other significant metals being extracted and processed. This measure provides management and investors with an indication of the minimum copper price consistent with positive operating cash flows and operating margins, assuming realized by-product metal prices are consistent with those prevailing during the reporting period. It also serves as an important operating statistic that management and investors utilize to measure the company’s operating performance versus that of its competitors. However, it is important to understand that if by-product metal prices decline alongside copper prices, the cash cost net of by-product credits would increase, requiring a higher copper price than that reported to maintain positive cash flows and operating margins.

   

 

Sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits – This measure is an extension of cash cost that includes sustaining capital expenditures, capitalized exploration and net smelter returns royalties. It does not include corporate G&A. It provides a more fulsome measurement of the cost of sustaining production than cash cost, which is focused on operating costs only.

TSX, NYSE – HBM
2016 No. 13

 

All-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits – This measure is an extension of sustaining cash cost that includes corporate G&A. Due to the inclusion of corporate G&A, all-in sustaining cash cost is presented on a consolidated basis only.

The table below presents a summary of cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, by business unit in addition to consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
