Pan American Silver’s (PAAS’s) Q122 financial results were supported by strong gold and silver sales, while production was affected by the latest COVID-19 outbreak. The company maintained its guidance for FY22 and expects production to be second-half weighted. Costs were generally under control, with an impressive cost performance in the silver segment. Although PAAS is seeing increased cost pressures, its full-year cost expectations remained unchanged. We have updated our estimates to reflect the results and lower commodity prices, reducing our valuation from US$31.0/share to US$29.5/share. Following the recent weakness, the shares look attractive at an FY22e EV/EBITDA of 7.5x.

Slower start to the year, costs remain in check

PAAS reported Q122 revenue and EBITDA of US$440m and US$128m on the back of the strong silver (+40% y-o-y) and gold (9%) sales. Production was affected by the COVID-19-related absenteeism and was broadly in line with Q121 for silver and slightly down for gold. PAAS expects production to be second-half weighted, as was the case in FY21. Costs were generally in check, with an impressive silver segment cash cost of US$10.2/oz (-17%) below FY22 guidance. While the gold segment cash cost was up 26% y-o-y from a relatively low base, it remained at a comfortable level of US$1,069/oz and was at the upper end of the guidance range. PAAS declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.12/share.

Maintained FY22 guidance; revised estimates

PAAS maintained its FY22 production guidance as COVID-19-related challenges have subsided and workforce availability has been gradually improving. The company has also retained its full-year cost expectations, noting that it is seeing increased cost pressures in fuel and consumables. We have revised our estimates to incorporate Q122 results and weaker commodity prices, lowering our FY22e EBITDA by 7.9% to US$565m. In other news, PAAS continues to make progress at Skarn, focusing on infill and step out drilling, and Escobal, where the pre-consultation process remains underway.

Valuation: Weak commodities weigh on the stock

Having revised our estimates and updated WACC to 7.2% (from 7.0%), we lower our valuation of PAAS from US$31.0/share to US$29.5/share. The shares have fallen c 26% from their peak in April against the backdrop of weak commodity prices driven by the global economic and inflationary concerns. While these concerns are justified, we believe the shares have overreacted, currently trading at FY22e EV/EBITDA of 7.5x on our updated estimates.

Q122 results review

PAAS reported a solid set of Q122 financial results against a challenging backdrop characterised by the outbreak of the COVID-19 omicron variant. While production was affected by the reduced workforce availability, the overall performance was supported by the strong gold and silver sales. One of the key highlights of the results was the impressive cost performance in the silver segment, where the cash cost and all-in sustaining cost (AISC) were below the FY22 guidance range. We discuss the salient features of the Q122 results below:

■

Total silver production was 4,619koz, up 0.8% versus COVID-19-affected Q121 and a reduction of 12.5% compared to an operationally strong Q421. The gold production was down 4.8% y-o-y to 131.0koz and a more pronounced 16.4% q-o-q. Despite the relatively weak operational performance in Q1, the company maintained its guidance for FY22 production and expects it to be second-half weighted. This is similar to FY21, when silver and gold production was distributed 47%/53% and 48%/52%, respectively, between the first and second halves.

■

Flat to slightly lower production was compensated for by the strong sales numbers, with the silver sales up 40% y-o-y to 4,890koz and the gold sales 8.9% higher at 148.1koz versus Q121. Relative to Q421, silver sales were down 3.5%, while gold sales were up 3.9%.

■

Quarterly revenue was US$439.9m, a 19.5% increase versus Q121 and a 4.2% increase versus Q421. In addition to the strong sales numbers, the top line was supported by the higher realised gold price of US$1,877/oz (vs both Q121 and Q421). The realised silver price of US$24.0/oz was lower than in Q121 but higher than in Q421.

■

At the cost level, the silver segment achieved a unit cash cost of just US$10.2/oz, down 16.8% y-o-y and up 5% q-o-q and an AISC of US$13.4/oz. We note that the segment’s cost performance might have been supported by the high share of sales from inventory versus actual production. In the gold segment, the cash cost was up 26.4% y-o-y to US$1,069/oz from a relatively low base seen in Q121. AISC showed similar performance patterns for both segments.

■

PAAS maintained its FY22 cost guidance, noting the increased cost pressures, particularly for diesel and consumables. Given the current high inflationary environment, we note the silver segment Q122 cash cost and AISC were below the FY22 guidance of US$10.7–12.2/oz and US$14.5–16.0/oz, respectively. In the gold segment, Q122 cash cost was at the upper end of the US$970–1,070/oz range, while the AISC was above the top end.

■

We estimate Q122 EBITDA at US$127.9m, down 13.1% y-o-y and 2.1% q-o-q. Despite the strong top-line performance, earnings were negatively affected by the increase in costs in the gold segment, which generates a higher proportion of revenues and higher margins.

■

At the bottom line, the net profit was supported by a one-off charge related to changes in accounting of the company’s 17% stake in Maverix Metals and a small positive contribution from investment income. Adjusting for these items, we estimate that the company’s net profit was down 6.9% y-o-y to US$29.1m (PAAS adjusted US$32.0m) and up 44.2% q-o-q.

■

Operating cash flow before interest and tax was US$128m (US$92.3m in Q121), while net operating cash flow was US$68.8m (US$29.9m). The company spent US$61.5m in capex in Q122 and paid US$25.3m in dividends. Excluding short-term investments of US$54.4m, the net debt was US$224.8m (FY21: US$237.7m). In line with its new dividend policy PAAS announced a dividend of US$0.12/share.

Project-by-project review

Below we take a closer look at the operational performance for some of the key projects.

The company’s flagship La Colorada project produced 1,419koz of silver, a 10% reduction versus Q421 and reported 1,620koz in silver sales, down 3% q-o-q. Production in Q1 benefited from higher grades (and a slightly higher implied silver recovery) as improved ventilation rates allowed access to higher-grade zones. The project reported a cash cost of US$9.7/oz in Q122 compared to US$11.6/oz in Q421 and an AISC of US$12.2/oz.

At Huaron, silver production was 899koz versus 838koz in Q421. Despite the broadly flat q-o-q tonnes milled, the project benefited from higher silver grades and higher implied silver recovery. As a result of this, and due to the higher by-product credits, Huaron reported a negative cash cost of US$1.15/oz in Q122 compared to a positive US$3.49/oz in Q4. AISC was US$3.5/oz vs US$9.6/oz in the previous quarter.

Dolores saw lower gold production of 34.6koz (40.1koz in Q421) due to the slightly lower gold grades and somewhat lower estimated implied gold recovery. At the same time, payable gold sales were 40.8koz versus 34.3koz in Q421. Silver production was slightly higher at 518koz due to the higher estimated implied recovery. The project’s cash cost was US$977/oz versus US$932/oz in Q421. We estimate that production costs adjusted for NRV inventory were c 5% higher quarter-on-quarter at US$1,044 per ounce of gold equivalent sales.

Gold production at Shahuindo was down 7% q-o-q to 34.3koz, mainly due to the lower throughput rates, while payable gold sales were 14% lower at 33.8koz. The project’s cash cost came in at US$915/oz versus US$832/oz. Compared to Q121, gold production was up 16% due to higher tonnes stacked and more gold recovery.

La Arena saw a significant reduction in gold production in Q1 on the back of the lower throughput, which was down almost 50%. At the same time, payable gold sales were 11% higher compared to Q421. The project’s cash cost was US$963/oz versus US$819/oz in Q421, while AISC increased to US$1,424/oz from US$1,197/oz in Q4.

At Timmins, gold production was down 7% q-o-q to 31.8koz as higher throughput was offset by lower gold grades. At the same time, payable gold sales were up 18% q-o-q to 35.4koz. The project’s cash cost increased 9% q-o-q to US$1,414/oz, while AISC was up 5% q-o-q.

PAAS continues exploration and early-stage development work at La Colorada Skarn, with exploration focusing on infill and step out-drilling to increase confidence in the existing resource and define further extensions. An update on the project’s resource base will be provided as part of the company’s wider mineral resources report later this year. Engineering work at the Skarn is focusing on defining a mining method that will dictate the size of the plant.

There was no specific update on the Escobal project. At the post-results conference call, management mentioned that the latest pre-consultation meeting took place on 9 May and the next is expected in late June.

Earnings lower on commodity prices and costs

We have updated our earnings estimates to reflect the Q122 results and the recent commodity price weakness. We now assume an average silver price of US$23.0/oz in FY22, a reduction of 6% versus our prior estimate (for details see our initiation reported published in April 2022) and a gold price of US$1,850/oz, down 3%. The lower commodity price assumptions had the biggest impact on our FY22 estimates but it was largely offset by the higher metal sales assumptions due to strong Q1 and Morococha’s contribution to revenues in January-February before the project was placed on care and maintenance. In addition, we have slightly adjusted our cost estimates for some of the gold projects, which resulted in our FY22e gold segment cash cost of US$1,048/oz, a 3% increase versus the prior estimate, and an AISC of US$1,334/oz (from US$1,300/oz). Our silver segment costs are broadly unchanged for now.

All in all, the above adjustments lower our FY22 revenue estimate by 0.5% to US$1,710.5m and our EBITDA estimate by 7.9% to US$565m. We note that a 10% reduction/increase in our FY22 silver and gold price assumptions lowers/boosts our FY22e EBITDA by 8% and 20%, respectively. Our revised estimates compare with FY22e consensus revenues of US$1,724m and EBITDA of about US$600m (source: Refinitiv).

The near-term cost performance remains the key focus. It is yet to be seen how the current elevated cost inflation will affect the performance at an individual mine level and to what extent it will be offset by the recovery in production (in particular, at La Colorada) and weaker currencies (for example, Canadian dollar). This in turn will determine the extent of a likely margin contraction this year. Our current estimates imply a relatively modest reduction in FY22 EBITDA margin to 33% (FY21 36%). Our estimates for FY23 and the subsequent years remain broadly unchanged for now.

Valuation update

Having revised our estimates and updated WACC from 7.0% to 7.2% (due to the higher risk-free rate), our valuation for PAAS falls from US$31.0/share to US$29.5/share. Among other factors that contributed to the lower valuation is a reduction in the market value of the company’s 17% interest in Maverix Metals. The PAAS shares are down c 11% ytd and 26% from their April peak on the back of the lower commodity prices driven by the increased risks to global economic growth, spiralling inflation and faster-than-expected monetary tightening. As a result, the silver price is now down c 17% from its latest peak in March, while the gold price is c 11% lower, with the gold/silver ratio expanding to 84x compared to the 2021 average of 72x. While economic concerns appear justified and slower growth is likely to affect physical silver consumption, investment demand for silver remains supportive. Based on data from Refinitiv, total silver ETF holdings continued to expand this year, reaching a local peak in April 2022 and falling only marginally since then. On our updated estimates, PAAS is trading on FY22e EV/EBITDA of 7.5x (7.1x consensus) which we believe is an undemanding multiple, both relative to peers and historically. Apart for the commodities performance, the near-term share price catalysts include the company’s ability to absorb the industry wide cost pressures as well as the production recovery post-COVID-19-affected Q122.
