DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 04, 2026--
SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the "Company") reports consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share payable on September 11, 2026 to holders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2026. This dividend qualifies as an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian tax purposes.
-- Consolidated operating results from continuing operations: Second
quarter 2026 production was 101,959 gold equivalent ounces at
consolidated cost of sales of $1,775 per payable ounce and all-in
sustaining costs ("AISC") of $2,622 per payable ounce.(1) In the first
half of 2026, the Company produced 211,873 gold equivalent ounces at
consolidated cost of sales of $1,749 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,521
per payable ounce. Year-to-date results are well aligned with full-year
2026 production guidance of 450,000 to 535,000 gold equivalent ounces and
the Company's expectations of a second-half weighted production profile.
Full-year AISC is trending towards the top end of SSR Mining's 2026
guidance, as the Company capitalizes on its strong liquidity position to
accelerate capital investments in support of mine life extension
initiatives across the portfolio.
-- Financial results from continuing operations: In the second quarter of
2026, SSR Mining reported net income and adjusted net income attributable
to SSR Mining shareholders of $137.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted share.
In the second quarter of 2026, operating cash flow was $115.6 million and
free cash flow was $50.3 million. In the first half of 2026, operating
cash flow was $420.5 million and free cash flow was $299.1 million.
-- Completed strategic refocus to the Americas: On June 24, 2026, SSR
Mining closed the sale of its 80% ownership stake in the Çöpler
mine and related properties in Türkiye (collectively,
"Çöpler") for approximately $1.49 billion in cash
consideration. Subsequently, on July 17, 2026, the Company closed the
sale of its 20% ownership stake in the Hod Maden development project (the
"Hod Maden Project") for an uncapped 4.0% net smelter return royalty
("NSR") on 100% of the Hod Maden Project. These transactions completed
SSR Mining's strategic refocus to a free-cash-flow-focused Americas gold
and silver producer anchored by its long-lived operations in the United
States.
-- Capital Returns: In the second quarter of 2026, SSR Mining completed a
total of $337.8 million in share buybacks through the repurchase of 10.4
million shares. Year-to-date, SSR Mining has repurchased 12.9 million
shares for a total of $409.2 million in capital returns, or an effective
yield of nearly 8%. On June 15, 2026, the Company announced approvals for
an additional $500 million for share repurchases, of which $109.2 million
has been returned to shareholders to July 31, 2026. Additionally, on
August 4, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per
share to be paid on September 11, 2026. Since 2021, SSR Mining has
returned nearly $900 million to shareholders through the repurchase of
more than 32 million shares and over $170 million in dividends.
-- Cash and liquidity position: As of June 30, 2026, SSR Mining had a cash
and cash equivalent balance of $1,783.0 million and no long-term debt
outstanding.
-- Revolving credit facility extended: On July 31, 2026, SSR Mining
amended its existing revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). The
Facility now matures on July 31, 2030 and capacity was increased from
$400 million to $600 million. Under the terms of the expanded Facility,
amounts borrowed will incur variable interest at the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%, an
improvement over the prior facility margin of 2.00% to 2.75%.
-- Development & exploration in the Americas: 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 low-cost, high-return development
opportunities and have the potential to meaningfully extend the mine
lives at each asset. On June 29, 2026, SSR Mining closed an approximately
C$5 million strategic investment to acquire 9.9% of Phenom Resources
Corp.'s ("Phenom") outstanding shares on an undiluted basis. SSR Mining
also entered into a Framework Agreement which grants SSR Mining the right
to acquire a 15% interest in Phenom's Dobbin Project in Nevada for an
additional $4 million. Phenom has defined a more than 2 kilometer long
and 200 meter wide gold-in-soil anomaly supported by strong chip sampling
results across the target area. Exploration drilling to test for
potential Carlin-style gold mineralization at the Dobbin project
commenced early in the third quarter of 2026.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, "We have now completed the strategic repositioning of our business to the Americas. Anchored by our long-lived Marigold and CC&V operations in the USA, our focus on delivering sustainable free cash flow and best-in-class capital returns is a clear differentiator amongst the peer group.
Operationally, our second quarter results were aligned with our expectations and have the business tracking well against full-year production guidance targets. As we have stated throughout the year, we expect a stronger second half of production and free cash flow across the portfolio.
I am pleased with SSR Mining's current strategic position. We are actively returning capital to shareholders through continued buybacks and our reinstated dividend program, while delivering strong operating results and advancing organic growth initiatives to extend the mine lives at each of our operations. I look forward to a strong finish to 2026 as we reinforce our position as a leading mid-cap gold producer."
