CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue in Q2 Fiscal 2026 was $83.3 million, up 23% compared to $68.0 million in Q2 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to increases of 28% and 37% in the selling prices for silver and gold respectively ($13.1 million of increased revenue), coupled with 1% more silver and 64% more gold produced and sold ($2.9 million of increased revenue).

Income from mine operations in Q2 Fiscal 2026 was $40.9 million, up 29% compared to $31.7 million in Q2 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to the increase in revenue mentioned above, partially offset by an increase of $3.9 million in production costs due to 15% more ore processed this quarter and an increase of $1.4 million in mineral rights royalties, which was implemented in China in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Net loss attri butable to equity shareholders of the Company in Q2 Fiscal 2026 was $11.5 million or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $17.7 million or $0.09 per share in Q2 Fiscal 2025, which was mainly due to the impact of a $53.2 million non-cash charge on "mark to market" of the fair value of convertible notes.

The adjusted net income attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was $22.6 million or $0.10 per share, after excluding the $53.2 million non-cash charge, a $21.6 million gain on mark to market investments, and $2.5 million non-cash or one-time expenses, compared to $17.8 million or $0.09 per share in Q2 Fiscal 2025.

Free cash flow in Q2 Fiscal 2026 was $11.4 million, up $10.8 million compared to $0.6 million in Q2 Fiscal 2025 after the Company spent $9.0 million in Ecuador to advance construction at the El Domo Project and permitting activities for the Condor Project.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONAL RESULTS

In Q2 Fiscal 2026, the company produced approximately 1.7 million ounces of silver, 2,085 ounces of gold, or approximately 1.8 million ounces of silver equivalent, 14.2 million pounds of lead and 5.6 million pounds of zinc, representing increases of 0.2% (silver), 76% (gold), 5% (silver equivalent), and 8% (lead), and a decrease of 3% in zinc production over Q2 Fiscal 2025.

In Q2 Fiscal 2026, the consolidated production cost ("cash cost") per ounce of silver equivalent, net of by-product credits, was $0.002, a slight increase from the negative $0.73 in Q2 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase of 15% in ore production, while silver production increased by only 0.2%, resulting in a higher cash cost per ounce of silver, partially offset by an increase of $2.7 million in by-product credits. The consolidated AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $13.94, up 19.6% from $11.66 in Q2 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to i) an increase of $2.3 million in sustaining capital expenditures; ii) an increase of $1.4 million in mineral rights royalty, implemented by the Chinese authorities in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025; and iii) the increase in cash cost per ounce of silver, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in general administrative expenses.

INDIVIDUAL MINE OPERATING PERFORMANCE 

In Q2 Fiscal 2026, the Ying Mining District produced approximately 1.53 million ounces of silver, 2,085 ounces of gold, or approximately 1.71 million ounces of silver equivalent, plus 12.93 million pounds of lead, and 1.42 million pounds of zinc, representing production increases of 1% (silver), 76% (gold), 6% (silver equivalent), and 8% (lead), and a decrease of 21% in zinc, compared to Q2 Fiscal 2025. The production in the quarter was affected by the temporary closure of certain mining areas (refer to Silvercorp's August 7, 2025 news release). These areas have since reopened, and production has returned to normal levels. Ore production at the Ying Mining District in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 is expected to be approximately 346,000 tonnes, up 30% compared to Q2 Fiscal 2026.

While the consolidated production cost ("cash cost") per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, has increased, the cash cost per tonne of ore at the Ying Mining District decreased to $82.89 from $92.86 in Q2 Fiscal 2025. This reduction reflects a higher percentage of ore mined using the more cost-efficient and mechanized shrinkage mining method compared to the more labour intensive re-suing mining method. Shrinkage mining tends to have higher dilution rates and lower head grades.

The AISC cash cost per tonne ore also decreased to $139.22 from $146.90 in Q2 Fiscal 2025, further improving the gross profit margin.

In Q2 Fiscal 2026, metals produced at the GC Mine were approximately 0.13 million ounces of silver, 1.31 million pounds of lead, and 4.22 million pounds of zinc, representing decreases of 7% (silver), 6% (lead), and 5% (zinc), compared to Q2 Fiscal 2025. Production in Q2 Fiscal 2026 was interrupted by severe rainy and typhoon weather conditions for around 10 days. Ore production at the GC Mine in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 is expected to be approximately 83,000 tonnes, up 9% compared to Q2 Fiscal 2026.

Production costs per tonne at the GC Mine were within the Fiscal 2026 Guidance, but increased from $50.08 (Q2 Fiscal 2025) to $58.20 (Q2 Fiscal 2026), due to lower ore production.  

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND DEVELOPMENT FOR GROWTH

Total capital expenditures in Q2 Fiscal 2026 were $26.7 million, down 5% compared to $28.1 million in Q2 Fiscal 2025.

For the Ying Mining District, capitalized expenditures for underground tunnels and drilling amounted to $12.4 million, plus $0.8 million for plant and equipment, for a total of $13.2 million in Q2 Fiscal 2026, compared to capitalized expenditures for underground tunnels of $13.6 million, plus $9.5 million for plant and equipment (total $23.1 million) in Q2 Fiscal 2025, when the Mill No. 2 expansion and TSF No. 3 were under construction.

For the Kuanping project under construction, $1.2 million of capital expenditures were incurred in Q2 Fiscal 2026, focusing on underground development.

The total capitalized expenditures at the GC Mine remained flat compared to Q2 Fiscal 2025 at around $1.4 million.

The El Domo mine construction advanced significantly in Q2 Fiscal 2026. Approximately 1.29 million cubic metres of material were cut for site preparation, roads and channel construction, representing a 249% increase over the last quarter. A 481-bed construction camp was completed, and the construction for the tailing storage facility (TSF) began in September 2025. Since January 2025, approximately 1.66 million cubic metres of material were cut and $18.9 million were spent on capital expenditures and prepayments for equipment purchases.

The construction contracts for the external power line have been awarded to Ecuadorian qualified contractors, subject to review by Corporation Nacional de Electricidad ("CNEL"). Equipment orders totaling approximately $22.2 million have been placed.

For the Condor Project, a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) study was initiated in Q2 Fiscal 2026 to be completed in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026.
