SSR Mining Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) (“SSR Mining” or the “Company”) reports consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
- Consolidated continuing operating results: First quarter 2026 production was 109,914 gold equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,727 per payable ounce and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $2,433 per payable ounce.(1) The first quarter operating results were well aligned with Company expectations and SSR Mining remains on track for full-year 2026 production guidance of 450,000 to 535,000 gold equivalent ounces.
- Çöpler sale: On March 4, 2026, SSR Mining announced a binding memorandum of understanding to sell its 80% ownership stake in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye (collectively, “Çöpler”) to Cengiz Holding A.S. (“Cengiz”) for $1.5 billion in cash (the “Çöpler Transaction”). Subsequently, on March 24, 2026, the Company signed a definitive share purchase agreement formalizing the terms of the Çöpler Transaction. Çöpler is now classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial reporting. The Çöpler Transaction is expected to close before the end of the third quarter of 2026.
- Financial results: In the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations of $252.5 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, and adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations of $250.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. In the first quarter of 2026, operating cash flow from continuing operations was $299.6 million and free cash flow from continuing operations was $210.8 million. Inclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler in the quarter, operating cash flow was $264.5 million and free cash flow was $175.2 million.
- Cash and liquidity position from continuing operations: As of March 31, 2026, SSR Mining had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $634.1 million and total liquidity of $1,134.1 million, inclusive of the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility and accompanying accordion feature. During the quarter, the Company announced the redemption of its Convertible Notes, which resulted in holders exercising rights to convert the Convertible Notes into SSR Mining common shares. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of Convertible Notes was converted to 13.1 million common shares and the Company paid approximately $2.6 million in cash to redeem unconverted Convertible Notes, to fund required payments in connection with the conversion and redemption, and for other related costs incurred through the conversion and redemption process. As of March 31, 2026, SSR Mining had no significant long-term debt outstanding. In addition, during the quarter, SSR Mining made a $87.5 million contingent payment related to the Carlton Tunnel at CC&V.
- Capital returns: On February 13, 2026, SSR Mining’s Board of Directors approved a share buyback program of up to $300 million and, on March 31, 2026, the Company received regulatory approval for its Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Subsequent to the quarter, SSR Mining completed approximately $300 million in share buybacks through the repurchase of 9.2 million shares. Since 2021, SSR Mining has now repurchased 29.2 million shares at an average price of $21.06 per share, delivering significant per share value accretion to shareholders. Total capital returned to shareholders since the start of 2021 is approximately $775 million.
- Hod Maden: Following the sale of Çöpler, SSR Mining’s interest in the Hod Maden development project remains under strategic review. While this process is ongoing, SSR Mining expects to incur minimal capital costs. In the first quarter of 2026, SSR Mining made $30.6 million in growth capital investments at Hod Maden. An update on the Hod Maden strategic review is expected before the end of the third quarter.
- Development & exploration: SSR Mining continues to advance key brownfield organic growth projects across the portfolio, including Buffalo Valley at Marigold, Cortaderas at Puna, and Porky at Seabee. These projects represent high-return development opportunities and have the potential to meaningfully extend the mine lives at each asset. SSR Mining remains on track to spend $35 million on growth exploration and resource development initiatives in 2026 as it aims to identify and advance growth targets across its portfolio.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, “The first quarter of 2026 marked a significant milestone for our business with the definitive agreement to sell our ownership in Çöpler for $1.5 billion in cash. This transaction, together with last year’s extremely successful acquisition of Cripple Creek & Victor, positions SSR Mining firmly in the Americas and re-establishes our Company as a leader in free cash flow generation. In the first quarter, we generated $300 million in operating cash flow and $211 million in free cash flow. Subsequent to quarter-end, we returned $300 million to shareholders through our share buyback program. Looking ahead, we are in the strongest financial position in our company’s history. We expect our low-risk, free cash flow leading Americas-focused platform to support a premium valuation as we regain our position as a leading mid-cap gold producer.”

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company calculates gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) using a fixed silver-to-gold ratio of 63:1. In prior periods, GEOs were calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average closing commodity prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the GEO calculations. GEOs sold may not re-calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding. |

Puna, Argentina
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Puna produced 1.7 and 2.5 million ounces of silver, respectively. During the first quarter of 2026, Puna reported cost of sales of $25.91 per payable ounce and AISC of $23.14 per payable ounce. Ore in the first quarter of 2026 was largely sourced from surface stockpiles as mining operations were focused on waste stripping at Chinchillas. The average realized silver price in the first quarter of 2026 was $91.79 per ounce, driving mine site revenue of $179 million and mine site free cash flow of over $120 million, further reinforcing Puna as one of the highest-margin primary silver mines globally.
The Company remains on track for full-year 2026 production guidance for Puna is 6.25 to 7.00 million ounces of silver at mine site cost of sales of $22.30 to $24.30 per payable ounce and AISC of $20.00 to $22.00 per payable ounce. Production at Puna remains approximately 50 to 55% weighted to the first half of 2026. AISC are expected to remain above the full-year guidance range in the second quarter, largely reflecting the expected sustaining capital spend profile which remains more than 75% weighted to the first half of the year.
SSR Mining continues to advance a number of potential growth projects at Puna, including additional laybacks at the Chinchillas pit, potential new development at the Melina open pit target adjacent to Chinchillas, and continued evaluation of the Cortaderas project. The Company expects to provide an update on Puna’s life of mine extension opportunities over the next 12 months.

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company calculates GEOs using a fixed silver-to-gold ratio of 63:1. In prior periods, GEOs were calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average closing commodity prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the GEO calculations. GEOs sold may not re-calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding. |

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this document. These performance measures are employed by us to measure our operating and economic performance internally and to assist in decision-making, as well as to provide key performance information to senior management. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate our operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash (Debt), Total Liquidity, Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders, free cash flow, and mine site free cash flow are Non-GAAP Measures with no standardized definition under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP Measure – Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash (Debt) and Total Liquidity
Total cash, Total debt, and Net cash (debt) are used by management and investors to measure the Company’s underlying operating performance. The Company believes that these measures are a useful measure for shareholders as it helps evaluate liquidity and available cash. The Company believes that liquidity and available cash will be sufficient to sustain the operational needs of the Company for the next twelve months. Total cash is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and Total debt is calculated as the face value of the Company’s Convertible Notes plus other current debt.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to net cash:

In addition to Net cash (debt), the Company also uses Total liquidity to measure its financial position. Total liquidity is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and borrowing capacity under current revolving credit facilities, including accordion features. As of March 31, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s $400 million credit facility with a $100 million accordion feature.

Non-GAAP Measure – Cash Costs and AISC
Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per payable ounce of gold and respective unit cost measures are non-U.S. GAAP metrics developed by the World Gold Council to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing gold and provide a standard for comparison across the industry. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry.
The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold and AISC per ounce of precious metals to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits, which allows management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production.
AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, growth capital is excluded. The Company determines sustaining capital to be capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. The Company determines growth capital to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation.
The Company believes that AISC provides additional information to management and stakeholders that provides visibility to better define the total costs associated with production and better understanding of the economics of the Company’s operations and performance compared to other producers. In deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of Cost of sales to cash costs and AISC:

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $9.4 million in share based compensation expense. |
| (18) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, GEOs were calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average closing commodity prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the GEO calculations. GEOs sold may not re-calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding. |
The following table provides a reconciliation of our projected cost of sales to projected cash costs and projected AISC used in the calculation of full-year projected 2026 cost guidance:

Amounts presented on 100% basis. Figures may not add due to rounding. In 2026, in an effort to limit the impact of gold and silver price volatility, SSR Mining will fix its gold to silver ratio for the purposes of GEO calculations to 63:1. See “Assumptions” earlier in the endnotes of this press release for additional information. |
|
(20) |
The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including cash costs and AISC per ounce sold to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. Cost of sales excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Total AISC includes G&A costs and share-based compensation but excludes any care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler. Consolidated AISC reflects the cash component of care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler in the event the operation did not restart within 2026. |
|
(21) |
Refer to “2026 Capital Guidance” table within the press release titled “SSR Mining Reports Full-Year Results and 2026 Operating Guidance” dated February 17, 2026 for a breakdown of sustaining capital expenditures. No material capital expenditures for Çöpler are included in this guidance. |
|
(22) |
Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of approximately US$32.50 per share. |
|
(23) |
Reflects the cash component of care & maintenance expenses of approximately $20 – $25 million per quarter that are expected to be incurred at Çöpler. At this time the Company is not able to estimate or predict if, when and under what conditions operations will resume. |
Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to SSR Mining Shareholders
Adjusted attributable net income (loss) and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per share are used by management to measure the Company’s underlying operating performance. We believe this measure is also useful for shareholders to assess the Company’s operating performance. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company’s underlying operations, including the impacts of impairment charges; and inflationary impacts on tax balances.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders:

Non-GAAP Measure – Free Cash Flow From Continuing Operations, Cash Flow From Operating Activities From Continuing Operations Before Changes in Working Capital, Free Cash Flow From Continuing Operations Before Changes in Working Capital, and Mine Site Free Cash Flow
The Company uses free cash flow and mine site free cash flow to supplement information in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to free cash flow is cash provided by operating activities and the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to mine site free cash flow is mine segment revenue. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow after capital investments and build the Company’s cash resources and, with respect to one of mine segments, to evaluate the cash generated from a mine. The Company calculates free cash flow by deducting cash capital spending from cash generated by operating activities. The Company does not deduct payments made for business acquisitions. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow by deducting cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes from revenue from a particular segment.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

We also present operating cash flow before working capital adjustments and free cash flow before working capital adjustments as non-GAAP cash flow measures to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. We believe presenting both operating cash flow and free cash flow before working capital adjustments, which reflects an exclusion of net changes in operating assets and liabilities, will be useful for investors because it presents cash flow that is actually generated from the continuing business. The Company calculates cash generated by (used in) operating activities before changes in working capital by adjusting cash generated by (used in) operating activities by the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The Company also calculates free cash flow before changes in working capital by deducting cash capital spending from cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.

We also present operating mine site free cash flow as non-GAAP measure to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow as revenue less cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes. We believe presenting asset level revenue minus large cash expenditures will be useful for investors because it represents a view of how much cash is actually generated and spent that is directly attributable to a specific site.
