Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited - Presented in thousands of US dollars – unless otherwise noted)

 

1. Reporting Entity



Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in British Columbia, Canada



The Company is engaged in precious and base metal mining and related activities in Latin America, including exploration, extraction, and processing. The Company operates the Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine (“Caylloma”) in southern Peru and the San Jose silver and gold mine (“San Jose”) in southern Mexico, and is developing the Lindero Gold Project in northern Argentina.



Its common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FSM, and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FVI.



The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 650, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, Canada, V6C 3L6.



2. Basis of Presentation



Statement of Compliance



These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 «Interim Financial Reporting». They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which includes information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.



The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new standard effective as of January 1, 2018 (Note 3). The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not effective yet.



On May 8, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issuance.



Presentation and Functional Currency



These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“$” or "US$"), which is the functional currency of the Company. Reference to C$ are to Canadian dollars. All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars, unless otherwise stated.



Basis of measurement



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 28).



3. Significant Accounting Policies and changes to accounting policies



IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers



The Company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) as of January 1, 2018. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a modified retroactive approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially adopting this standard at the date of initial recognition. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 Revenue (“IAS 18”). The Company has concluded that there was no cumulative effect adjustment required to be recognized at January 1, 2018. The details of the accounting policy changes and the quantitative impact of these changes are described below.

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited - Presented in thousands of US dollars – unless otherwise noted)

 

Concentrate Sales



The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers related to its concentrate sales. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when a customer obtains control of the concentrate and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price, which is the amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transferring of the concentrates. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price.



The Company satisfies its performance obligations for its concentrate sales based upon specified contract terms which are generally upon delivery to the customer or upon loading of the concentrate onto a vessel. The Company typically receives payment within one to four weeks of delivery. 



Revenue from concentrate sales is recorded based upon forward market price of the expected final sales price date. IFRS 15 does not consider provisional price adjustments associated with concentrate sales to be revenue from contracts with customers as they arise from changes in market pricing for silver gold, lead and zinc between the delivery date and settlement date. As such, the provisional price adjustments are accounted for as derivatives and presented separately in Note 24 of these financial statements.



The Company has concluded that there were no significant changes in the accounting for concentrate sales as a result of the transition to IFRS 15 as the timing of control of the concentrate passing to the customer and the treatment of provisional pricing adjustments are unchanged from policies applied prior to the adoption of IFRS 15.



IFRS 9 Financial Instruments



The Company has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods were not restated and no material changes resulted from adopting this new standard. IFRS 9 introduced a revised model for classification and measurement, and while this has resulted in several financial instrument classification changes, as presented in Note 28, there were no quantitative impacts from adoption.



The details of accounting policy changes and described below:



(a) Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities



IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories for financial assets of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale.



Under IFRS 9, a financial asset is measured as either:  amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).  All non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated, and instead the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.



A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

·

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

·

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.



A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

·

it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

·

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.



On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.





The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets. 



·

Financial assets at FVTPL - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

·

Financial assets at amortized cost  - These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

·

Equity investments at FVOCI - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the equity investment are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.



Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the Company made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of its investments in marketable securities, which is substantially consistent with the accounting treatment prior to adoption. These financial assets are classified as FVOCI.

(b) Impairment of financial assets



IFRS 9 introduces a new three-stage expected credit loss model for calculating impairment for financial assets. IFRS 9 no longer requires a triggering event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. An entity is required to recognize expected credit losses when financial instruments are initially recognized and to update the amount of expected credit losses recognized at each reporting date to reflect changes in the credit risk of the financial instruments. In addition, IFRS 9 requires additional disclosure requirements about expected credit losses and credit risk.

For our trade receivables, we apply the simplified approach for determining expected credit losses which requires us to determine the lifetime expected losses for all our trade receivables. The expected lifetime credit loss provision for our trade receivables is based on historical counterparty default rates and adjusted for relevant forward-looking information, when required. We did not record an adjustment relating to the implementation of the expected credit loss model for our trade receivables.



(c) Hedge accounting



The Company has elected to adopt the new general hedge accounting model in IFRS 9. This requires the Company to ensure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with its risk management objectives and strategy and to apply a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness.



The Company has established a strategy, in accordance with its current risk management policies, to use interest rate swaps to hedge against the variability in cash flows arising from changes in USD LIBOR based floating interest rate borrowing relating to its credit facility.  



As per IFRS 9, hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39, that also qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 (after taking into account any rebalancing of the hedging relationship on transition), are regarded as continuing hedging relationships. Hence, the original hedge relationship continues from the trade inception date of the interest rate swap to the maturity date of the interest rate swap associated with the hedged exposure, unless the hedging relationship is required to be terminated earlier.



Management qualitatively assess that the changes in value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item will move in opposite directions and will be perfectly offset. As both counterparties to the derivative are investment grade, the effect of credit risk is considered as neither material nor dominant in the economic relationship. The hedge was highly effective at transition date under IFRS 9.  The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective will be recognized directly in other comprehensive income while  the amount that is determined to be ineffective, if any, will be recorded in the profit or loss during the life of the hedging relationship.



New Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective



In 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases.  Application of the standard is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted.  The new standard is likely to result in increases to both the asset and liability positions of lessees, as well as affect the reported depreciation expense and finance costs of these entities in the statement of profit or loss. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its financial results.



4. Use of Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

The impacts of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company applied the critical judgements and estimates as disclosed in note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

7. Investment in Associate



Medgold is a Canadian public company which trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol MED and is quoted in Canadian dollars ("C$").  Medgold's principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of resource properties in Serbia. 



In June 2016, the Company acquired 10 million common shares and 10 million common share purchase warrants of Medgold Resources Corp. ("Medgold").  In February 2017, the Company exercised all of the Medgold warrants it held.  Upon exercise, the Company held 24.0% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Medgold (20.4% on a fully diluted basis) and reclassified the amounts to investment in associate.



On February 7, 2017, the Company exercised its common share purchase warrants to purchase 10 million common shares of Medgold (note 6) which resulted in the Company increasing its interest to 24.0% As a result, the Company has significant influence over Medgold commencing on February 7, 2017, and accounts for its investment using the equity method. As at March 31, 2018, the Company owned a 22% interest in Medgold. The market value of the Company’s investment in Medgold as at March 31, 2018 was C$3,800 (December 31, 2017 - C$3,200).



The Company is related to Medgold by virtue of a director in common.

Commodity derivative contracts



In 2017, the Company entered into zero cost collars for an aggregate 7,500 tonnes of lead with a floor price of $2,100 per tonne and a cap price of $2,500 per tonne, maturing from August 2017 to June 2018. In 2017, the Company also entered into zero cost collars for an aggregate 6,500 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of $2,500 per tonne and a cap price of $2,965 per tonne, maturing during the first half of 2018.



Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company entered into zero cost collars for an aggregate 6,000 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of $3,050 per tonne and a cap price of $3,300 per tonne, maturing between November 2018 and June 2019.



The zinc and lead contracts are derivative financial instruments and are not accounted for as designated hedges under IFRS 9. They were initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the related derivative contracts were entered into and are subsequently re-measured to estimated fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are credited or charged to profit or loss.

(b)

Interest rate swap



Effective April 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap ("Swap") on a notional amount of $40,000, which was to expire on March 25, 2019 and matched the maturity of the credit facility. The Swap was designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The Swap was entered into to hedge the variable interest rate risk on the Company’s credit facility. The fixed interest rate on the swap was 1.52% and the floating amount was based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The swap was settled on a monthly basis, with settlement being the net difference between the fixed and floating interest rates.



In January 2018, the Company terminated the Swap and received a $214 settlement payment. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap ("New Swap") for a term of 4 years in connection with the amended credit facility (Note 18). 



The New Swap has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes under IFRS 9. The New Swap was entered into to hedge the variable interest rate risk on the Company’s Amended Credit Facility. The fixed interest rate on the swap is 2.61% and the floating amount is based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The swap is settled on a monthly basis, with settlement being the net difference between the fixed and floating interest rates.



During the three month ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $173  (March 31, 2017  – gain $154), related to the changes in the fair value of the swaps through other comprehensive income.  The New Swap was determined to be an effective hedge for the period ended March 31, 2018.

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited - Presented in thousands of US dollars – unless otherwise noted)

 

(a) Exploration and Evaluation Assets



Included in mineral properties are exploration and evaluation assets which are categorized as not  depleted other in the above tables.  The Company is currently conducting exploration and evaluation activities on the following properties:



Tlacolula Property



On August 2, 2017, the Company completed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Radius Gold Inc. to acquire the Tlacolula gold property (the “Property”) for total consideration of $1,328, comprising of $150 cash and the issuance of 239,385 common shares valued at $1,128. Radius was granted a 2% NSR royalty on the Property, one-half of which can be re-purchased for $1,500.



During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company spent $106 (2017 - $158) on the Property, which has been capitalized as part of mineral properties. 



(b) Lindero Project



In July 2016, Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares of Goldrock Mines Corp. ("Goldrock"). Goldrock's principal asset is the 100% owned Lindero Gold Project located in Salta Province, Argentina.

We are exposed to metal price risk with respect to our sales of silver, gold, zinc, and lead concentrates. A 10% change in metal prices from the prices used at March 31, 2018 would result in a change of $11.0 million to sales and accounts receivable for sales which are still based on provisional prices as at March 31, 2018.

28. Fair Value Measurements



Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. 



The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.





The following sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.



 



Financial asset or liability

 

Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value

Trade receivables

Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of a quotational period.  We mark these to market at each reporting date based on the forward price corresponding to the expected settlement date.

Interest rate swaps, and metal contracts

Fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates.  These are discounted using a yield curve, and adjusted for credit risk of the Company or the counterparty.

Marketable securities warrants

The Company determines the value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model which uses a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, such as volatility and interest rate estimates. Fair value changes on the warrants are charged to profit and loss.



During the period ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.  Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

(c) Tax Contingencies



Peru



The Company has been assessed $1,750 by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, including interest and penalties of $573, for tax years 2010 and 2011. The Company is appealing these assessments and has provided a guarantee by way of a letter bond in the amount of $838.  



No amounts have been accrued as at March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 in respect of these tax assessments as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company’s appeal will be successful.



 (d) Other Contingencies



The Company is subject to various investigations, royalties and other claims, legal, labor, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.
