HUDBAY MINERALS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

1. Reporting entity

On January 1, 2017, Hudbay Minerals Inc. amalgamated under the Canada Business Corporations Act with its subsidiaries Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited and Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited to form Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("HMI" or the "Company"). 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 represent the financial position and the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "Hudbay").

Wholly owned subsidiaries as at September 30, 2020 include HudBay Marketing & Sales Inc. ("HMS"), HudBay Peru Inc., HudBay Peru S.A.C. ("Hudbay Peru"), HudBay (BVI) Inc., Hudbay Arizona Inc, Rosemont Copper Company ("Rosemont") and Mason Resources (US) Inc ("Mason").

Hudbay is an integrated mining company primarily producing copper concentrate (containing copper, gold and silver), molybdenum concentrate and zinc metal. With assets in North and South America, Hudbay is focused on the discovery, production and marketing of base and precious metals. Directly and through its subsidiaries, Hudbay owns three polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators and a zinc production facility in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Canada) and Cusco (Peru) and copper projects in Arizona and Nevada (United States). Hudbay also has equity investments in a number of junior exploration companies. 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.

2. Basis of preparation

(a)   Statement of compliance:

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

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 3 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

The Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements on November 3, 2020.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

(b)  COVID-19 estimation uncertainty:

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world, including regions Hudbay operates in. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Since then, containment measures have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy.

The resulting impacts on global commerce have been and continue to be far-reaching. To date there has been volatility in stock markets, commodities and foreign exchange markets, restrictions on the conduct of business in many jurisdictions and the global movement of people and some goods have become restricted.

The Company has evaluated the potential impacts arising from COVID-19 on all aspects of its business.

(c)   Use of judgements and estimates:

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Hudbay to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, 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. Actual results may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions. The interim financial statements reflect the judgements and estimates outlined by Hudbay in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

3. Significant accounting policies

These interim financial statements reflect the accounting policies applied by Hudbay in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and comparative periods.

4. New standards

New standards and interpretations adopted

(a)  Amendment to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations

The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies the definition of a business and includes an optional concentration test to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business. This amendment is in effect January 1, 2020 and will be treated prospectively. Hudbay will apply these amendments to future acquisition transactions.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

(b)  Amendment to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendments to IAS 16 prohibit deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment the proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

This amendment is in effect January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. Hudbay is currently working on determining  the effect of the adoption of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements, specifically to projects expected to achieve commercial production in the coming years. On adoption, an entity applies the amendments retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments.

Gold and silver stream revenue can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the amount of precious metals to be delivered under the contract changes. As a result of changes in the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimate in the first quarter of 2020 and amendments made to the 777 mine plan in the third quarter of 2020, the amortization rate by which deferred revenue is drawn down into income was adjusted and, as required, a current period catch up adjustment is made for all prior period stream revenues since the stream agreement inception date. This variable consideration adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in increased revenue of $9,482 and $6,668, respectively. This increase in revenue was primarily the result of internal business planning and amendments in the 777 mine plan resulting in mining less of the inferred resource than what was previously planned. The variable consideration adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in a reversal of revenue of $16,295.

During the first quarter of 2019, Hudbay recognized an obligation to deliver additional precious metal credits to Wheaton Precious Metals ("Wheaton") as a result of Hudbay's expectation that mining at the Pampacancha deposit will not begin until after 2020. The obligation is to be paid in four quarterly installments, with the first three payments having been paid in March, June and September 2020.

(e) Impairment

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, Hudbay recorded no impairment losses.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, Hudbay recorded impairment losses of $322,249 for non-current assets relating to the Arizona cash generating units ("CGU").

    Arizona  
Pre-tax impairment to:      
Property, plant & equipment $ 322,249  
Tax impact - (recovery)   (80,143 )
After-tax impairment charge $ 242,106  

On July 31, 2019 the U.S. District Court of the District of Arizona ("Court") issued a ruling in the lawsuits challenging the U.S. Forest Service's issuance of the Final Record of Decision ("FROD") for the Rosemont project in Arizona. The Court ruled to vacate and remand the FROD thereby delaying the expected start of construction of Rosemont. Hudbay and the U.S. federal government have appealed the Court's decision to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the Court's ruling and the subsequent impact to the Company's market capitalization gave rise to an indicator of impairment. Following an impairment test conducted as of September 30, 2019, it was determined that the recoverable amount of the Arizona CGU was lower than its carrying value, causing Hudbay to recognize an impairment loss related to these assets.

Until October 1, 2019, interest expense related to certain long-term debt had been capitalized to the Rosemont project. Following the Court ruling to vacate and remand the U.S. Forest Service's issuance of the Final Record of Decision for the Rosemont project during the third quarter of 2019, Hudbay ceased capitalization effective October 1, 2019. The capitalization of this interest expense will resume upon the reinstatement of permits and will continue from that point until commercial production is reached.

Other finance expense relates primarily to fees on Hudbay's revolving credit facilities and capitalized leases.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss   14,378     11,287  
  $ 16,107   $ 13,336  

Investments at fair value through profit or loss consist of securities in Canadian metals and mining companies, all of which are publicly traded. The change in investments at fair value through profit or loss is mostly attributed to fluctuations in market price and foreign exchange impact.

9. Intangibles and other assets

Intangibles and other assets of $21,475 (December 31, 2019 - $10,411) includes $16,528 of other assets (December 31, 2019 - $5,384) and $4,947 of intangibles (December 31, 2019 - $5,027).

Other assets represent the carrying value of certain future community costs. The liability remaining for these agreements is recorded in other financial liabilities at amortized cost (note 12).  Amortization of the carrying amount is recorded in the condensed consolidated interim income statements within other expenses (note 5d). The increase in other assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily relates to amendments to the original agreements with communities for the Constancia operation which allow Hudbay to extract minerals over the useful life of the Constancia operation.

Intangibles mainly represent computer software costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the increase in property, plant and equipment (cost) of $267,913 was mainly caused by fixed asset and construction in progress asset additions of $270,297 and increases in decommissioning and restoration assets of $50,807 (producing assets) mostly as a result of lower discount rates, partially offset by the effects of movements in exchange rates of $46,521.

The derivative liabilities include derivative and hedging transactions. Derivative liabilities are carried at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded to the condensed consolidated interim income statements. The fair value adjustments for hedging type derivatives are recorded in revenue. Fair value adjustments for embedded derivatives are recorded within net finance expense.

On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement and received $115,005 in exchange for the delivery of 79,954 gold ounces starting January 2022 and ending in December 2023, which were valued at gold forward curve prices averaging $1,682 per ounce at the time of the transaction. The agreement has been assessed as a financial liability that has been designated as fair value through profit or loss within change in fair value of financial instruments, with a component of the fair value related to the fluctuation in the Company's own credit risk being recorded to other comprehensive income. The fair value adjustment recorded in profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were losses of $16,735 and $277, respectively.

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 increase in other financial liabilities at amortized cost during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily relates to changes in estimated community payments arising from the execution of the Pampacancha surface rights agreement.

Hudbay has entered into leases for its Peru, Manitoba and Arizona business units which expire between 2020 and 2043. The interest rates on leases which were capitalized have implicit interest rates between 1.95% to 5.13%, per annum. The range of interest rates utilized for discounting varies depending mostly on the Hudbay entity acting as lessee and duration of the lease. For certain leases, Hudbay has the option to purchase the equipment and vehicles leased at the end of the terms of the leases. Hudbay's obligations under these leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. The present value of applicable lease payments has been recognized as a ROU asset, which was included as a non-cash addition to property, plant and equipment, and a corresponding amount as a lease liability.

There are no restrictions placed on Hudbay by entering into these leases.

The following outlines expenses recognized within the Company's condensed consolidated interim income statements for the periods ended September 30, 2020, relating to leases for which a recognition exemption was applied.

15.  Deferred revenue

On August 8, 2012 and November 4, 2013, Hudbay entered into precious metals stream transactions with Wheaton whereby Hudbay has received aggregate deposit payments of $455,100 against delivery of (i) 100% of payable gold and silver from the 777 mine until the end of 2016, and delivery of 50% of payable gold and 100% of payable silver for the remainder of the 777 mine life; and aggregate deposit payments of $429,900 against the delivery of (ii) 100% of payable silver and 50% of payable gold from the Constancia mine.

In addition to the aggregate deposit payments of $885,000, as gold and silver is delivered under the stream agreements, Hudbay receives cash payments equal to the lesser of (i) the market price and (ii) $400 per ounce (for gold) and $5.90 per ounce (for silver), subject to 1% annual escalation after three years, from the inception of the agreement.

Hudbay recorded the deposits received as deferred revenue and recognizes amounts in revenue as gold and silver are delivered under the stream agreements. Hudbay determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the condensed consolidated interim income statements on a per unit basis using the estimated total number of gold and silver ounces expected to be delivered under the stream agreements over the life of the 777 and Constancia life-of-mine plans. At September 30, 2020, Hudbay revised its estimate of remaining mineralization for the 777 deposit and as such adjusted the drawdown rates for the remainder of the year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the drawdown rates for the 777 stream agreement for gold and silver were $1,155 and $22.07 per ounce, respectively (year ended December 31, 2019 - $1,177 and $22.51 per ounce, respectively). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the drawdown rates for the Constancia stream agreement for gold and silver were $976 and $21.52 per ounce, respectively (year ended December 31, 2019 - $948 and $21.77 per ounce, respectively). Hudbay estimates the current portion of deferred revenue based on deliveries anticipated over the next twelve months.

Hudbay has determined that precious metals stream contracts are subject to variable consideration and contain a significant financing component. As such, the Company recognizes a financing charge at each reporting period and will gross up the deferred revenue balance to recognize the significant financing element that is part of these contracts. Hudbay's streaming arrangements are secured against the mining properties and other business unit assets associated with the applicable stream.

Hudbay expects that the remaining performance obligations for the 777 and Constancia streams will be settled by the expiry of their respective stream agreements, which is no earlier than 2036.

As part of the streaming agreement for the 777 mine, Hudbay must repay, with precious metals credits, the legal deposit provided by August 1, 2052, the expiry date of the agreement. If the legal deposit is not fully repaid with precious metals credits from 777 production by the expiry date, a cash payment for the remaining amount will be due at the expiry date of the agreement. Given the mineral reserve and resources of the 777 mine and the current mine plan, there is a possibility that an amount of the legal deposit may not be repaid by means of 777 mine's precious metals credits over its expected remaining mine life. As at September 30, 2020, this prepayment amount does not meet the definition of a financial liability. Hudbay incorporates the possibility of repayment as part of its assessment of variable consideration in recognizing the amount of deferred revenue to recognize in income.

The following table summarizes changes in deferred revenue:

Balance, January 1, 2019 $ 566,078  
Amortization of deferred revenue      
Liability drawdown   (92,398 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   16,295  
Accretion on streaming arrangements      
Current year additions   63,725  
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   6,047  
Effects of changes in foreign exchange   4,009  
Balance, December 31, 2019 $ 563,756  
Amortization of deferred revenue      
Liability drawdown   (47,152 )
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (6,668 )
Accretion on streaming arrangements (note 5f)      
Current year additions   46,508  
Variable consideration adjustments - prior periods   (3,692 )
Effects of changes in foreign exchange   (2,171 )
Balance, September 30, 2020 $ 550,581  

Consideration from the Company's stream agreement is considered variable. Gold and silver stream revenue can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the number of ounces to be delivered under the contract changes. As a result of changes in the Company's mineral reserve and resource estimate in the first quarter of 2020 and amendments made to the 777 mine plan in the third quarter of 2020, the amortization rate by which deferred revenue is drawn down into income was adjusted and, as required, a current period catch up adjustment is made for all prior period stream revenues since the stream agreement inception date. This variable consideration adjustment resulted in an increase in revenue of $6,668 and reversal of finance expense of $3,692 for the nine months ended September 20, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - revenue reversal of $16,295 and additional finance expense $6,047).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an adjustment to gold and silver revenue and finance costs due to a net increase in the Company's mineral reserve and resources estimates coupled with a change to the 777 mine plan. During the year ended December 31, 2019, and first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an adjustment to gold and silver revenue and finance costs.

Deferred revenue is reflected in the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as follows:

    Sep. 30, 2020     Dec. 31, 2019  
Current $ 73,296   $ 86,933  
Non-current   477,285     476,823  
  $ 550,581   $ 563,756

16. Provisions

Reflected in the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as follows:

Sep. 30, 2020   Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities     Deferred share units     Restricted share units     Performance share units     Other     Total  
Current (note 11) $ 21,327   $ 4,979   $ 2,478   $ -   $ -   $ 28,784  
Non-current   318,995     -     2,710     831     1,344     323,880  
  $ 340,322   $ 4,979   $ 5,188   $ 831   $ 1,344   $ 352,664  
                                     
Dec. 31, 2019   Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities     Deferred share units     Restricted share units     Performance share units     Other     Total  
Current (note 11) $ 23,621   $ 3,876   $ 4,468   $ -   $ 1,610   $ 33,575  
Non-current   278,495     -     1,009     -     1,346     280,850  
  $ 302,116   $ 3,876   $ 5,477   $ -   $ 2,956   $ 314,425  

Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in discount rates, exchange rates, and timing and extent of cash outflows which can significantly affect the liabilities.

Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities have been discounted to their present value at rates ranging from 0.13% to 1.46% per annum (2019 - 1.59% to 2.39%), using pre-tax risk-free interest rates that reflect the estimated maturity of each specific liability.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities increased by $38,206. This was mainly the result of lower discount rates, compared to December 31, 2019, associated with discounting the provisions, increasing the liabilities by $52,972, which was partially offset by payments of $13,766 and a weaker Canadian dollar impacting the liabilities of the Manitoba segment by $4,183.

17. Pension and other employee benefits

Pension obligations

Hudbay uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans. As at September 30, 2020, the discount rate applied to the most recent actuarial valuation decreased to 2.67% compared to the December 31, 2019 discount rate of 3.08%, reflecting lower corporate bond yields utilized for discounting pension liabilities. The decrease in the discount rate has resulted in an increase in the defined benefit pension obligation which was offset by changes in plan assets.

Other employee benefits

Hudbay sponsors both other long-term employee benefit plans and non-pension post-employment benefits plans and uses a December 31 measurement date. As at September 30, 2020, the discount rate applied to the most recent actuarial valuation decreased to 2.88% compared to the December 31, 2019 discount rate of 3.17%, reflecting lower corporate bond yields utilized for discounting other employee benefit liabilities. The decrease in the discount rate has resulted in an increase in the long-term employee benefit plans and non-pension post-employment benefit plans obligation.

Adjustments in respect of prior years refers to amounts changing due to the filing of tax returns and assessments from government authorities.

(b) Deferred tax assets and liabilities as represented on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets:

    Sep. 30, 2020     Dec. 31, 2019  
Deferred income tax asset $ 78,060   $ 69,950  
Deferred mining tax asset   7,682     5,096

    (221,193 )   (242,928 )
Net deferred tax liability balance, end of period $ (135,451 ) $ (167,882 )

Hudbay has retroactively changed its presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to separate out the Canadian mining tax assets and liabilities, which has the effect of changing the prior reported balances of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. There is no net impact to cash flows or net deferred tax liabilities.

(c) Equity-settled share-based compensation - stock options:

Hudbay may grant options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of Hudbay or its affiliates to purchase common shares of Hudbay.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted 1,581,385 stock options (nine months ended September 30, 2019 - nil). The following table presents the weighted average fair value assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation of these options:

For options granted during the nine months ended:   Sep. 30, 2020  
Weighted average share price at grant date (CAD) $ 3.77  
Risk-free rate   1.14%  
Expected dividend yield   0.5%  
Expected stock price volatility (based on historical volatility)   57.0%  
Expected life of option (months)   84  
Weighted average per share fair value of stock options granted (CAD) $ 2.02  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 12,052 stock options were forfeited, which resulted in 1,569,333 options outstanding as of September 30, 2020. There are no stock options outstanding that are exercisable as at September 30, 2020.

20. Earnings per share

    Three months ended

    Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
    2020     2019     2020     2019  
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding   261,272,151     261,272,151     261,272,151     261,272,151  

The determination of the diluted weighted-average number of common shares excludes the impact of 1,574,357 and 1,506,625 weighted-average stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 - nil).

For periods where Hudbay records a loss, Hudbay calculates diluted loss per share using the basic weighted average number of shares. If the diluted weighted average number of shares were used, the result would be a reduction in the loss, which would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Hudbay calculated diluted loss per share using 261,272,151 common shares.

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 tax and other statutory amounts.  
3 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.  
4 All investments are carried at their fair value, which is determined using quoted market bid prices in active markets for listed shares.  
5 These financial liabilities relate to agreements with communities near the Constancia project in Peru (note 12). 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 14) 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 14) has been determined using a binomial tree/lattice approach based on the Hull-White single factor interest rate term structure model.  
8 Discounted value based on a risk adjusted discount rate.  
9 The gold prepayment liability (note 12) is designated as fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.  Gains and losses related to the Company's own credit risk have been recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value adjustment recorded in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was a loss of $277.

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.

(b) 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 September 30, 2020, Hudbay had 57.3 million pounds of net copper swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $2.93/lb and settling across October 2020 to January 2021. As at December 31, 2019, Hudbay had 66.1 million pounds of net copper swaps outstanding at an effective average price of $2.67/lb and settling across January to April 2020. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at September 30, 2020 was a liability of $5,675 (December 31, 2019 was a liability position of $8,362).

Transactions involving derivatives are with large multi-national financial institutions that Hudbay believes to be credit worthy.

Non-hedge derivative zinc contracts

Hudbay enters into future dated fixed price sales contracts with zinc customers and, to ensure that the Company 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 September 30, 2020, Hudbay held contracts for forward zinc purchased of 7.7 million pounds (December 31, 2019 - 12.7 million pounds) that related to forward customer sales of zinc. Prices range from $0.87/lb to $1.14/lb (December 31, 2019 - $1.00/lb to $1.15/lb) and settlement dates extend to January 2021. The aggregate fair value of the transactions at September 30, 2020 was a net asset position of $785 (December 31, 2019 - a net liability position of $221).

Hudbay records changes in fair value of provisionally priced receivables 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.

Changes in fair value of provisionally priced receivables 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 revenue for sales contracts and in inventory or cost of sales for purchase concentrate contracts. Cash flows related to changes in fair value of provisionally priced receivables are classified in operating activities.

(b) Non-cash transactions:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Hudbay entered into the following non-cash investing and financing activities which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

- Remeasurement of Hudbay's decommissioning and restoration liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 led to a net increase in related property, plant and equipment assets of $50,807 (nine months ended September 30, 2019 - increase of $42,849) related to lower discount rates associated with remeasurement of the liabilities.

- Property, plant and equipment included $17,420 (nine months ended September 30, 2019 - $19,751) of capital additions related to the recognition of ROU assets.

- Immediately prior to purchasing United Copper & Moly LLC's ("UCM") remaining interest in the Rosemont project, Hudbay agreed to release UCM from repayment obligations under a Rosemont project loan in exchange for an increase in equity in Rosemont. As a result, the loan receivable balance of $25,978 was written off. Hudbay recognized the loss on write-off of the loan receivable in the income statement (refer to Note 5d). In addition, in order to recognize previously unfunded contributions to the Rosemont Project due from UCM, Hudbay recognized an increase to other capital reserves, a component of shareholder's equity.

25. Events after the reporting period

777 Operations Update

Production at the 777 mine was temporarily suspended due to an incident that occurred on October 9th during routine maintenance of the hoist rope and skip.  Underground mining activity has resumed at 777 with limited production from the mine's ramp access. Fourth quarter production and sales volumes will be impacted, and the Company is implementing production mitigation plans.
