Figure 1: Five-Year Changes to SSR Mining's Consolidated Gold Equivalent Mineral Reserves (Moz). Changes to SSR Mining's consolidated gold equivalent Mineral Reserves shown over the five-year period from year-end 2020 to year-end 2025, illustrating Mineral Reserve additions through resource development and exploration drilling activities, as well as the Mineral Reserves added through accretive M&A transactions over the same period.
-- Consolidated operating results: Fourth quarter 2025 production was
120,267 gold equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,613
per payable ounce and AISC of $2,250 per payable ounce, or $2,002 per
payable ounce exclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler in the
quarter. For the full-year 2025, the Company produced 447,207 gold
equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,472 per payable
ounce and AISC of $2,153 per payable ounce, or $1,923 per payable ounce
exclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler. Full-year production was
above the midpoint of the Company's 410,000 to 480,000 gold equivalent
ounce consolidated guidance range, while full-year AISC were well aligned
with the Company's third quarter disclosures.
-- Financial results: In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported
net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $181.5 million, or
$0.84 per diluted share and adjusted net income attributable to SSR
Mining shareholders of $190.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. For
the full-year 2025, SSR Mining reported net income attributable to SSR
Mining shareholders of $395.8 million, or $1.85 per diluted share and
adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $430.5
million, or $2.01 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2025, SSR
Mining generated $172.1 million in operating cash flow and $106.4 million
in free cash flow. Full-year 2025 operating cash flow and free cash flow
totaled $471.9 million and $241.6 million, respectively.
-- Cash and liquidity position: As of December 31, 2025, SSR Mining had a
cash and cash equivalent balance of $534.8 million and total liquidity of
$1,034.8 million, inclusive of the Company's undrawn revolving credit
facility and accompanying accordion feature.
-- Capital Returns: On February 13, 2026, SSR Mining's Board of Directors
approved a share buyback program of up to $300 million. Given the
Company's strong free cash flow projections and its portfolio of growth
opportunities, the Company sees significant value to its shareholders in
pursuing a share buyback program. Share buybacks have historically been
an important part of SSR Mining's capital return strategy with
approximately 20 million shares repurchased between 2021 and 2024 at an
average price of $15.76 per share. Under the share buyback program, share
repurchases may be carried out from time to time over the next twelve
months through opportunistic open-market purchases or by other means in
amounts and at prices at SSR Mining's discretion, subject to market and
business conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other
considerations.
-- Mineral Reserves & Mineral Resources: Total Proven and Probable Mineral
Reserves as of December 31, 2025, were 11.0 million gold equivalent
ounces, an increase of nearly 40% as compared to year-end 2024. Total
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources as of December 31, 2025,
exclusive of Mineral Reserves, were 9.5 million gold equivalent ounces,
an increase of over 80% as compared to year-end 2024. Year-over-year
changes in Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources include the addition of
CC&V and the Hod Maden development project to consolidated totals,
resource development activity and an increase in the base gold and silver
price assumptions for Mineral Reserves to $1,700 and $20.50 per ounce,
respectively.
-- 2026 operating guidance: In 2026, SSR Mining expects to deliver
production of 450,000 to 535,000 gold equivalent ounces from its Marigold,
CC&V, Seabee and Puna operations at consolidated cost of sales of $1,560
to $1,640 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,360 to $2,440 per payable
ounce. Exclusive of Care & Maintenance costs at Çöpler, the
Company expects full-year consolidated AISC would be $2,180 to $2,260 per
payable ounce. The midpoint of 2026 production guidance represents a 10%
increase in gold equivalent ounces over 2025 results.
-- Çöpler: Fourth quarter remediation and reclamation spend at
Çöpler was $7.4 million, bringing total remediation spend in
2025 to $21.7 million. Since February 2024, SSR Mining has spent $149.3
million on reclamation and remediation activities at the site.
-- Hod Maden development project: SSR Mining spent $33.8 million at the
Hod Maden development project in the fourth quarter of 2025 as
engineering and initial site establishment efforts continued to progress.
Full-year spend at Hod Maden totaled $78.2 million, in line with guidance
of $60 to $100 million. On January 29, 2026, SSR Mining announced the
completion and issuance of a Technical Report Summary for the Hod Maden
development project with a $1.7B NPV5% and 39% IRR at consensus commodity
prices. For more information on Hod Maden, please see the Hod Maden
Technical Report Summary filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 30, 2026.
-- Development & exploration: Throughout 2025, SSR Mining continued 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. SSR Mining is also investing $35 million in growth
exploration and resource development activity in 2026 as it aims to
identify and advance growth targets across its portfolio.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, "The fourth quarter of 2025 was a strong finish to the year as we delivered full-year consolidated production above the midpoint of our guidance range at AISC well aligned with expectations. This operating performance allowed us to capitalize on the strong metals prices into year-end and generate approximately $172 million in operating cash flow and $106 million in free cash flow in the quarter. Our results were buoyed by an excellent fourth quarter at both CC&V and Puna, with each operation exceeding full-year production guidance.
Looking ahead, our 2026 operating guidance has our business on track to deliver a 10% year-over-year increase in gold equivalent ounce production and reinforces our position as the third largest gold producer in the United States. Our consolidated production platform is poised to deliver strong free cash flow in 2026, and we are working hard to continue surfacing additional value for our shareholders through key organic growth initiatives at each of our assets.
Through our continued focus on operational delivery and free cash flow generation, as well as our newly announced share buyback program, we expect to continue building on our positive momentum through 2026."

Full-Year 2026 Guidance
SSR Mining reports its full-year 2026 guidance that includes production, cost, and capital estimates for each asset and on a consolidated basis. The Company has not reflected any production, operating costs, or capital forecasts for Çöpler in its 2026 guidance.
Consolidated production in 2026 is expected to be 55 to 60% weighted to the second half, driven largely by the production profiles at Marigold and CC&V. AISC are expected to be highest in the first half of 2026, reflecting the aforementioned production profile and higher sustaining capital outlays across the portfolio in the first half of the year.

(8) Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of
approximately US$32.50 per share.
Sustaining capital spend in 2026 is expected to be 60 to 70% weighted to the first half, reflecting winter road expenditures at Seabee as well as fleet replacements at Marigold. Development capital spend is expected to be highest in the second and third quarters of 2026, driven by investment in leach pad expansions at Marigold and CC&V. Initial works including, engineering completion, access road and site establishment, continue at Hod Maden ahead of a formal construction decision by the joint venture. On a 100% basis, capital expenditure at Hod Maden is expected to total up to $15 million per month on this early works scope. SSR Mining intends to update full year capital guidance to include full project ramp-up following a positive construction decision.

Marigold, USA
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Marigold produced 42,770 and 59,702 ounces of gold, respectively. Full-year 2025 production at Marigold of 153,535 ounces of gold compared to full-year guidance of 160,000 to 190,000 ounces.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Marigold reported cost of sales of $1,825 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,089 per payable ounce. For the full-year 2025, cost of sales of $1,635 per payable ounce and AISC of $1,918 per payable ounce, compared to guidance of $1,530 to $1,570 per payable ounce and $1,800 to $1,840 per payable ounce, respectively.

In 2026, Marigold's production is expected to be 55 to 60% weighted to the second half, as higher grades stacked in the second quarter are anticipated to drive increased production in the second half. Marigold is expected to stack 21 to 23 million ore tonnes in 2026 at an average grade of approximately 0.4 grams per tonne.
As a result of previously highlighted ore blending requirements and to ensure pad recovery performance, the mine schedule has been updated to account for the blending of durable and non-durable ore. In addition, increased gold prices have resulted in pit expansions and the relocation of a planned waste dump to avoid sterilizing ounces. Overall, life of mine production for Marigold remains unchanged and the total ounces produced over the five-year period are materially the same as reflected in the current TRS. The growth targets of Buffalo Valley and New Millennium continue to advance, and SSR Mining anticipates potentially integrating them into an updated Marigold TRS that is expected to be released in the next 18 months.
Sustaining capital spend at Marigold is approximately 70% weighted to the first half of the year, with AISC expected to peak in the first quarter of 2026. Accordingly, AISC are expected to trend above the full-year guidance range in the first half of the year. Sustaining capital spend for Marigold in 2026 is forecasted to total $108 million, driven largely by spend on fleet replacements, ongoing fleet component purchases and plant upgrades. The investments in Marigold's mining and hauling fleet are expected to help both near-term haulage requirements and enable the development of a number of potentially significant mine life extension opportunities ahead.

the comparable GAAP financial measure. Cost of sales excludes
depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
Growth opportunities at Marigold include continued advancement of the Buffalo Valley project, which currently hosts approximately 570,000 ounces of gold Mineral Reserves, New Millennium, Marigold North and Valmy South. In 2026, growth capital at Marigold is expected to total $48 million, with the majority of that spend focused on heap leach expansions and continued development of the Buffalo Valley and New Millennium expansion studies.
Cripple Creek & Victor, USA
(For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, all metrics represent the period from February 28, 2025, the closing date of the CC&V acquisition, to December 31, 2025, unless otherwise stated.)

Growth expenditures at Seabee are expected to total $15 million in 2026 as the Company advances near-mine drilling exploration and resource development activity at Santoy and progresses engineering at Porky ahead of potential development in 2027. An initial 203,000 ounce Mineral Reserve was declared at Porky in 2025 with the potential to represent a new underground mining front to further complement and extend the existing Seabee mine life.
Puna, Argentina
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Puna produced 2.1 and 3.0 million ounces of silver, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Puna produced 9.8 and 10.5 million ounces of silver, respectively. Puna's full-year 2025 production of 9.8 million ounces of silver exceeded full-year production guidance of 8.00 to 8.75 million ounces for the third consecutive year. The strong operating results at Puna were supported by continuous improvements in the performance of the Pirquitas process plant, which achieved quarterly and full-year records in tonnes processed in the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, respectively.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Puna reported cost of sales of $20.13 per payable ounce and AISC of $18.39 per payable ounce. For the full-year 2025, Puna reported cost of sales of $16.74 per payable ounce and AISC of $14.24 per payable ounce. Full-year AISC at Puna were better than the mine's 2025 AISC guidance range of $14.25 to $15.75 per payable ounce. Puna realized nearly $460 million in revenue and generated mine site free cash flow of over $250 million in 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company announced a three-year extension to Puna's mine life. Subsequently, SSR Mining has continued to advance analysis and engineering work on pathways for additional mine life extension, including expansion opportunities at Chinchillas through additional pit laybacks and evaluation of the Melina target to the northeast of the current pit. Evaluation of the brownfield Cortaderas deposit, which represents a potential underground mining target for Puna in the future, has also continued to progress positively.
At Cortaderas, drilling in 2025 extended mineralization in the main breccia zone to the west and also discovered an additional mineralized footwall zone. These results have not been incorporated into the year-end 2025 MRMR update at Puna, and additional drilling is planned at both targets in 2026. Further details on these mine life extension opportunities will be provided over the next 12 to 18 months.
In light of the recent volatility in gold and silver prices, SSR Mining has elected to use a consistent gold to silver price ratio in its calculation of gold equivalent ounces. For 2026, this ratio is 63:1, reflecting the 60-day trailing average gold and silver prices.
Çöpler, Türkiye
(amounts presented on 100% basis)
Operations at Çöpler were suspended following the February 13, 2024 incident at the Çöpler mine (the "Çöpler Incident"). During the suspension, care and maintenance expense has been recorded which represents depreciation and direct costs not associated with the environmental reclamation and remediation costs.
During 2025, the Company spent $21.7 million on reclamation and remediation bringing total spending related to the Çöpler Incident to $149.3 million.

of these financial measures and a reconciliation to cost of sales,
which are the comparable GAAP financial measure. Cost of sales
excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization. SSR Mining owns
80% of Çöpler.
In 2026, Çöpler is expected to incur quarterly care and maintenance costs of approximately $35 to $40 million while the mine is not in operation. This includes $20 to $25 million in cash care and maintenance costs per quarter, which impact the Company's consolidated AISC.
Growth Exploration and Resource Development
In 2026, growth exploration and resource development expenditures are expected to total $35 million. Growth capital spend in 2026 is expected to total $115 million, excluding development capital at Hod Maden, as the Company makes meaningful investments in leach pad expansions at Marigold and CC&V.
On January 29, 2026, SSR Mining announced the completion of a Technical Report Summary for the Hod Maden development project which highlighted a $1.7B NPV(5%) and a 39% IRR at consensus metals prices averaging $3,167 per ounce gold and $4.52 per pound copper over the life of mine. Since acquisition in 2023, SSR Mining has made significant progress in project engineering and procurement activities at Hod Maden, and these activities have meaningfully de-risked the project. This includes meaningful progress on early works activities at site, including earthworks and road development, as well as the advancement of detailed engineering, hiring and procurement.
On a 100% basis, capital expenditure at Hod Maden is expected to total up to $15 million per month on the continuation of these early works ahead of a formal construction decision by the joint venture. Updated growth capital guidance will be provided following a positive construction decision by the joint venture at Hod Maden.
Exploration and development activities are also planned across SSR Mining's portfolio of earlier stage projects, including at Amisk in Saskatchewan and other greenfield projects in Nevada, Saskatchewan, Türkiye and Argentina.
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources ("MRMR") for Year-End 2025
(The following information should be read in conjunction with Item 2. Properties in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on February 17, 2026 (the "Annual Report") and the TRS for each of our material properties included as exhibits to our Annual Report.)
SSR Mining reported its updated MRMR as of December 31, 2025, reflecting depletion that occurred through mining activity, stockpile changes, new Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources delineated through drilling activity, Mineral Resource conversion and changes to metals price assumptions used in the calculation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. In addition, following the completion of Technical Report Summaries for CC&V and the Hod Maden development project, the Company is now able to incorporate these properties into its consolidated MRMR statements.
As of year-end 2025, SSR Mining's Mineral Reserves included 10.6 million ounces of gold and 24.2 million ounces of silver. On a gold equivalent basis, SSR Mining had 11.0 million ounces of Mineral Reserves, a 38% year-over-year increase inclusive of mined depletion.
As per Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, the Company's year-end 2025 MRMR are presented on an attributable basis, reflecting the Company's ownership interest in each material property. See the Company's Annual Report for more information.
-- Commodity price assumptions remain conservative: SSR Mining's gold and
silver price assumptions used in the calculation of Mineral Reserves at
Marigold and Puna increased 13% and 8%, respectively, from $1,500 per
ounce gold in 2024 to $1,700 per ounce in 2025, and from $19.00 per ounce
silver in 2024 to $20.50 per ounce in 2025. The gold Mineral Reserve
price of $1,600 per ounce for Seabee in 2024 was increased to $2,000 per
ounce in 2025. The lead price of $0.90 per pound was unchanged from 2024
Mineral Reserves, while the zinc price assumption of $1.15 per pound
increased from $1.05 in 2024. 2025 Mineral Resource prices of $2,000 per
ounce of gold, $23.00 per ounce of silver, $1.30 per pound of zinc and
$4.00 per pound of copper reflected minor increases from 2024, while the
lead price assumption of $0.95 per pound used in the calculation of
Mineral Resources was unchanged from 2024. No changes to metals prices or
other assumptions were made with respect to the calculation of
Çöpler's MRMR.
-- Track record of sustained Mineral Reserve growth: SSR Mining has
established a consistent track record of exceeding mined depletion in its
annual Mineral Reserve statements since 2020, reflecting the Company's
continued commitment to investment in organic growth projects and
resource development activities across its portfolio. Since 2020, mined
depletion has totaled 3.3 million gold equivalent ounces, while resource
development, exploration activities and other changes to assumptions have
more than offset this depletion with the addition of 3.4 million ounces
of gold equivalent Mineral Reserves over that time period, excluding the
impact of asset acquisitions. Inclusive of M&A activities, SSR Mining's
Mineral Reserves have grown 34% since 2020 to 11.0 million ounces gold
equivalent, including mined depletion.
-- Significant Mineral Resource base supports potential for mine life
extensions: As of year-end 2025, SSR Mining had 9.0 million ounces of
Measured & Indicated ("M&I") gold Mineral Resources, a 104%
year-over-year increase, and 9.5 million ounces of gold equivalent
Mineral Resources, an 82% year-over-year increase. Inferred Mineral
Resources total 4.5 million ounces gold and 5.1 million ounces gold
equivalent, 97% and 95% year-over-year increases, respectively. SSR
Mining will continue to invest in resource development activities across
its operating sites with a goal to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral
Reserves and support potentially low-cost mine life extension
opportunities.
-- Pipeline of growth projects with potential to deliver longer-term
optionality: SSR Mining has a pipeline of highly prospective brownfield
growth projects across the portfolio, including Buffalo Valley and New
Millennium at Marigold, Chinchillas expansions and the Cortaderas project
at Puna, and Porky and the Santoy underground extension targets at
Seabee. Additionally, SSR Mining is investing in earlier stage growth
programs at its regional properties in Saskatchewan, including Amisk, as
well as regional exploration activities in Nevada, Türkiye, and
Argentina as it targets longer-term growth potential.

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, Total Liquidity, Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, 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 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. 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 2019 convertible notes plus other current debt.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to net cash:
As of
------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
(in thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024

Other Debt $ -- $ --
-------------- --------------
Total Debt $ 230,000 $ 230,000
Net Cash (Debt) $ 304,834 $ 157,882
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 December 31, 2025, 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 byproduct 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:

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, reflecting the 60-day average
trading prices for each metal. See "Assumptions" earlier in the
endnotes of this press release for additional information.
(32) 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.
(33) Refer to "2026 Capital Guidance" table within the "Full-Year 2026
Guidance" section of this press release for a breakdown of sustaining
exploration and evaluation expenditures. Capital expenditures for
Çöpler are not included in this guidance.
(34) Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of
approximately US$32.50 per share.
(35) 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 and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share 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 Çöpler Incident; inflationary impacts on tax balances; transaction, integration; and other non-recurring items.
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:

Çöpler Incident represent contingencies and expenses of $0.6
million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling
interest of $0.1 million).
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the effects of the
Çöpler Incident represent (1) reclamation costs of $7.5

are calculated in accordance with GAAP. For the year ended December
31, 2024, $5.0 million interest saving on 2019 Notes, net of tax, and
potentially dilutive shares of approximately 12.9 million were
excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share
attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations as they were antidilutive. 0.3 million shares were
included in the computation of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted
share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Measure - Free Cash Flow, Cash Flow From Operating Activities Before Changes in Working Capital, Free Cash Flow 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.
