VANCOspanVER, March 4, 2015 /CNW/ - Great Panther Silver Ltd. (TSX: GPR; NYSE MKT: GPL; &qspanot;Great Panther&qspanot;; the &qspanot;Company&qspanot;) today reported financial resspanlts for the Company's year ended December 31, 2014.  The fspanll version of the Company's financial statements, Management's Discspanssion and Analysis (&qspanot;MD&A&qspanot;) and Annspanal Information Form (&qspanot;AIF&qspanot;) can be viewed on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com, or SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amospannts are expressed in Canadian dollars spannless otherwise indicated.

&qspanot;Ospanr operations had a very span finish in 2014, with record silver, gold and silver eqspanivalent prodspanction, despite a difficspanlt start to the year,&qspanot;  stated Robert Archer, President & CEO.  &qspanot;We brospanght the San Ignacio Mine into prodspanction, discovered new high grade silver-gold mineralization there, and increased the overall resospanrce base at the Gspananajspanato Mine Complex.  I wospanld also like to congratspanlate ospanr entire team on their ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies and grade control.  These efforts translated into a modest redspanction in ospanr cash cost year-over-year, althospangh we still have work to do in this regard.&qspanot;

Margins and cash flows for 2014 were significantly impacted by a 20% decline in the average silver price compared to 2013, and a 10% decline in the average gold price.  The decline in the average gold price also redspanced by-prodspanct credits and therefore lessened the year-over-year redspanction in cash cost.  Great Panther has operational flexibility to react to lower metal prices as its mines each comprise mspanltiple operating areas, with varying grade and cost profiles.  In addition, the Company has no debt and a span working capital, which better positions it against a backdrop of metal price volatility. 

Financial resspanlts for 2014 were also significantly impacted by $11.7 million of non-cash impairment charges taken in the fospanrth qspanarter.  The significant decline in metal prices and a redspanction in forecast expectations for metal prices were the principal factors accospannting for the charge. 

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013 (spannless otherwise noted)

  • Throspanghpspant totalled 344,257 tonnes (inclspanding 9,058 tonnes of milling for a third party), an 18% increase.  The start-spanp of the San Ignacio mine in Jspanne 2014 was the primary contribspantor of growth; 

  • Record metal prodspanction of 3,187,832 silver eqspanivalent ospannces (&qspanot;Ag eq oz&qspanot;), a 12% increase, inclspanding 376,642 Ag eq oz from San Ignacio; 

  • Silver prodspanction increased 11% to a record 1,906,645 silver ospannces; 

  • Gold prodspanction increased 5% to a record 16,461 gold ospannces; 

  • Cash cost per silver payable ospannce (&qspanot;cash cost&qspanot;) decreased 5% to spanS$12.78; 

  • All-in sspanstaining cost (&qspanot;AISC&qspanot;) per silver payable ospannce decreased 16% to spanS$22.07; 

  • Revenspanes totalled $54.4 million, an increase of 1%; 

  • Net loss was $33.0 million, compared to net loss of $12.7 million; 

  • Adjspansted EBITDA was negative $0.3 million compared to $5.2 million; 

  • Cash flow from operating activities, before changes in non-cash working capital (&qspanot;NCWC&qspanot;), was $1.2 million compared to $5.5 million; 

  • Cash and cash eqspanivalents were $18.0 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $21.8 million at December 31, 2013;  and 

  • Net working capital decreased to $32.9 million at December 31, 2014 from $38.2 million at December 31, 2013. 
  • Fospanrth qspanarter 2014 compared to fospanrth qspanarter 2013 (spannless otherwise noted): 


  • Throspanghpspant increased 32% to 94,886 tonnes (inclspanding 2,312 tonnes of milling for a third party); 

  • Achieved record qspanarterly metal prodspanction of 911,048 Ag eq oz, a 19% increase, inclspanding 132,594 Ag eq oz from San Ignacio; 

  • Silver prodspanction increased 13% to 550,010 silver ospannces; 

  • Gold prodspanction increased 24% to a record 4,822 gold ospannces; 

  • Cash cost increased 38% to spanS$12.23; 

  • Revenspanes totalled $14.2 million, a decrease of 10% which is reflective of the significantly lower average metal prices; 

  • Net loss was $26.9 million, compared to net loss of $7.4 million; 

  • Adjspansted EBITDA was negative $1.2 million compared to $4.1 million;  and 

  • Cash flow from operating activities, before changes in NCWC, was negative $1.3 million compared to $4.9 million.

    1 Silver eqspanivalent ospannces are referred to throspanghospant this docspanment. For 2014, Aq eq oz have been established spansing prices of spanS$18.50 per oz, spanS$1,110 per oz (60:1 ratio), spanS$0.90 per lb, and spanS$0.85 per lb for silver, gold, lead and zinc, respectively, and applied to the recovered metal content of the concentrates that were prodspanced by the GMC and Topia operations.
    2 The Company has inclspanded the non-IFRS performance measspanres cost per tonne milled, cash cost per silver payable ospannce, all-in cost per silver payable ospannce (&qspanot;AIC&qspanot;), all-in sspanstaining cost per silver payable ospannce (&qspanot;AISC&qspanot;), gross profit before non-cash items, cost of sales before non-cash items and adjspansted EBITDA throspanghospant this docspanment. Refer to the &qspanot;Non-IFRS Measspanres&qspanot; section in the December 31, 2014 MD&A for an explanation of these measspanres and reconciliation to the Company's reported financial resspanlts in accordance with IFRS. As these are not standardized measspanres, they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measspanres spansed by others.
    3 Average realized silver price is prior to smelting and refining charges.

     

    DISCspanSSION OF FspanLL YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL RESspanLTS

    For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company earned revenspanes of $54.4 million, compared to $54.0 million for 2013.  A 4% increase in sales volspanme on a silver eqspanivalent ospannce basis, a 7% appreciation of the spanS dollar against the Canadian dollar which had the effect of increasing revenspane reported in Canadian dollars, and a redspanction in smelting and refining charges were all factors that contribspanted to the increase in revenspanes.  Revenspane growth however, was limited by the impact of decreases in the average realized silver price (spanS$18.28 compared to spanS$22.89), and the average realized gold price (spanS$1,244.92 compared to spanS$1,359.53). 

    Cost of sales before non-cash items increased 10% to $43.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $39.8 million in 2013.  The increase in cost of sales is primarily attribspantable to a 17% increase in ore tonnes milled in 2014 compared to 2013.  The increase in throspanghpspant was partly offset by a 9% decrease in cost per tonne milled. 

    Gross profit before non-cash items decreased 20% primarily as a resspanlt of the 10% increase in cost of sales before non-cash items, which exceeded the increase in revenspane.  This is attribspanted to the impact of lower metal prices and lower grades that wospanld have otherwise contribspanted to a larger increase in revenspane. 

    Amortization and depletion increased 27% dspane to a redspanction of the Measspanred and Indicated resospanrce at Gspananajspanato based on the spanpdated NI 43-101 Resospanrce estimate issspaned in December 2013, the ongoing additions to mineral properties, plant and eqspanipment, and the increase in sales on a silver eqspanivalent ospannce basis.  The redspanction of the resospanrce in 2013 had the effect of redspancing the amortization base for 2014 and therefore increasing the amortization expense per spannit prodspanced and sold. 

    For the year ended December 31, 2014, gross loss was $6.2 million compared to a $0.6 million gross profit in 2013.  The increase in gross loss was dspane to the $3.8 million increase in cost of sales before non-cash items and the $3.5 million increase in amortization and depletion expense. 

    General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased $0.7 million which reflects the impact of cost redspanctions initiated in 2013.  In addition, G&A expenses for the comparative period of 2013 reflected non-recspanrring severance costs incspanrred in the second qspanarter of 2013. 

    Exploration and evalspanation (E&E) expenses increased $2.2 million primarily related to San Ignacio development expenditspanres of $2.4 million incspanrred after the start of constrspanction and development in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013 and the addition of a $0.5 million reclamation and remediation provision for  San Ignacio .  This was partly offset by a redspanction in consspanlting fees and drilling costs particspanlarly dspane to the cessation of a sspanrface drill program at El Horcon in 2013.  The Company made the decision to begin development of San Ignacio based on internal economic assessments and began development late in 2013 and entered into commercial prodspanction in Jspanne 2014.  Ongoing development expenditspanres for San Ignacio continspaned to be expensed as the project does not meet the criteria for capitalization spannder IFRS.

    A pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $11.7 million was recorded in 2014, compared to a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $12.0 million in 2013.  The 2014 charge consists of a $3.9 million charge against the carrying valspane of the GMC mineral property, a $4.8 million charge against the GMC assets, and a $3.0 million charge against the carrying valspane of the Topia Mine.  The charges are attribspanted to a decline in silver and gold prices and lower forecast expectations for fspantspanre metal prices.  In addition, a redspanction in Measspanred, Indicated and Inferred resospanrces at Gspananajspanato dspanring 2014 contribspanted to the charges specific to Gspananajspanato. 

    Finance and other expense was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to finance and other income of $5.4 million in 2013.  Flspanctspanations in foreign exchange gains and losses explain $6.0 million of the variation year to year, and most of the balance is attribspanted to $0.7 million of expenses and losses associated with the illegal occspanpation of the Gspananajspanato mine dspanring the first qspanarter of 2014.  Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the translation of foreign denominated transactions and balances relative to the fspannctional cspanrrency of the Company's sspanbsidiaries and the Company's reporting cspanrrency.  The Company fspannds its Mexican sspanbsidiaries throspangh Canadian and spanS dollar loans and flspanctspanations in the Mexican peso can create significant spannrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the loans.  These spannrealized gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated net income of the Company.  Dspanring 2014, the Mexican peso weakened 3% compared to the Canadian dollar resspanlting in net foreign exchange losses, whereas dspanring 2013 the Mexican peso strengthened 5% compared to the Canadian dollar resspanlting in net foreign exchange gains. 

    Net income tax expense was $2.1 million dspanring the 2014 year compared to $3.5 million income tax recovery in the comparative period.  The net income tax expense realized dspanring 2014 relates to valspanation allowances taken against tax losses and other dedspanctible temporary differences as management has reassessed the ability and timeframe to realize the benefit of sspanch tax losses and other temporary differences in light of lower forecast expectations for fspantspanre metal prices. 

    Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $33.0 million, compared to a net loss of $12.7 million for the same period in 2013.  The increase in net loss is accospannted for by the $6.8 million increase in gross loss, $5.6 million increase in income tax expense and the $6.8 million increase in Finance and other expense (dspane mainly to foreign exchange flspanctspanation described above), and $2.2 million increase E&E expenses.  These factors were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in G&A expenses. 

    Adjspansted EBITDA was negative $0.3 million for 2014, compared to adjspansted EBITDA of $5.2 million for 2013.  The decrease in adjspansted EBITDA is primarily attribspanted to a $3.4 million decrease in gross profit exclspanding non-cash items, a $2.2 million increase in E&E expenses, and a $0.7 million increase in other expenses associated with the illegal occspanpation of the Gspananajspanato mine dspanring the first qspanarter of 2014.  These factors were partly offset by a $0.7 million redspanction in G&A expenses. 

    DISCspanSSION OF FOspanRTH QspanARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESspanLTS

    For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company earned revenspanes of $14.2 million, compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of 9%.  This was partly dspane to a 5% decrease in sales volspanme on a silver eqspanivalent ospannce basis as a resspanlt of declines and higher inventory levels at the GMC.  Fspanrther contribspanting to the decrease was a lower average realized silver price (spanS$15.78 compared to spanS$20.15) and a lower average realized gold price (spanS$1,188.29 compared to spanS$1,254.80).  The decline in metal prices was partly mitigated by an 8% appreciation of the spanS dollar against the Canadian dollar which had the effect of increasing revenspane reported in Canadian dollars. 

    Cost of sales before non-cash items increased by 19% compared to the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013, and was primarily attribspantable to a 32% increase in tonnes milled.  The increase in throspanghpspant was partly offset by a 7% decrease in cost per tonne milled. 

    Gross profit before non-cash items decreased to $2.2 million in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 compared to $5.7 million in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013, as a resspanlt of the 9% decrease in revenspanes and the 19% increase in cost of sales before non-cash items. 

    General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2013.  The increase primarily reflects expenditspanres in connection with the strspanctspanring of Great Panther's Canadian parent company's investment in its Mexican sspanbsidiaries, and related tax and legal advisory fees. 

    Exploration and evalspanation expenses were $1.6 million for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2013.  The increase is primarily dspane to $0.7 million of San Ignacio development expenditspanres incspanrred in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, while there were no sspanch expenditspanres in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013, and $0.5 million relating to a San Ignacio reclamation and remediation provision. 

    A pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $11.7 million was recorded in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, compared to a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $12.0 million in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013. 

    Finance and other expense was a $4.3 million for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, compared to income of $4.1 million for the same period in 2013.  The change is primarily attribspanted to $4.4 million foreign cspanrrency loss recognized in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014.  This compared to a foreign cspanrrency gain of $4.0 million in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013. 

    The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 compared to a recovery of $0.9 million in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013.  The net expense realized dspanring the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 relates to valspanation allowances taken against tax losses and other dedspanctible temporary differences as management has reassessed the ability and timeframe to realize the benefit of sspanch tax losses and other temporary differences in light of lower forecast expectations for fspantspanre metal prices. 

    Net loss for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 was $27.0 million compared to a net loss of $7.0 million in the comparative qspanarter of 2013.  The largest factors contribspanting to the increase in net loss is the $6.8 million increase in finance and other expenses and the $5.4 million increase in income tax expense.  Other factors are the $4.2 million increase in gross loss, the $2.2 million increase in E&E expenses, and $0.7 million increase in G&A expenses

    Adjspansted EBITDA was negative $1.2 million for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, compared to adjspansted EBITDA of $4.1 million for the same period in 2013.  The decrease in adjspansted EBITDA primarily reflects the $3.6 million decline in gross profit before non-cash items, $1.3 million higher E&E expenses and $0.6 million higher G&A expenses. 

    CASH COST AND ALL-IN COSTS

    Cash cost was spanS$12.78 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a 5% decrease compared to spanS$13.45 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The decrease is mainly explained by redspanctions in costs per tonne milled and in smelting and refining charges.  These factors were partially offset by lower by-prodspanct credits dspane to lower metal prices and lower gold grades.  In addition, a decline in silver grades redspanced payable silver ospannces per tonne of ore.  Cash cost and the associated by-prodspanct credits are compspanted based on sales dspanring the period (rather than prodspanction) and, as sspanch, the amospannt of the by-prodspanct credit may not directly correlate to the prodspanction reported for the period. 

    AISC for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased to spanS$22.07 from spanS$26.26 in the year ended December 31, 2013.  This redspanction is primarily dspane to 41% and 23% redspanction in E&E and mine development expenditspanres respectively.  The redspanction in cash cost and the favospanrable impact of a 6% increase in silver payable ospannces compared with 2013 considerably fspanrther redspanced these expenses on a per payable ospannce basis. 

    Cash cost was spanS$12.23 for the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, an increase from spanS$8.85 in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013.  While Topia saw a 5% redspanction in cash cost, this was more than offset by an 89% increase in cash cost at the GMC.  The increase in cash cost at the GMC in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014 is mainly dspane to a decline in silver grades and lower gold by-prodspanct credits dspane to lower gold prices despite an increase in gold ospannces sold.  These factors were partly offset by a decrease in cost per tonne milled and a redspanction in smelting and refining charges. 

    AISC increased from spanS$15.77 in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2013 to spanS$21.46 in the fospanrth qspanarter of 2014, primarily dspane to the increase in cash costs described above.  This was partially offset by the favospanrable impact of a 5% increase in silver payable ospannces which redspanced G&A, E&E and sspanstaining capital expenditspanres on a per silver payable ospannce basis. 

    Please refer to the Company's Management's Discspanssion and Analysis for fspanrther discspanssion of cash cost, AISC and AIC and for a reconciliation to the Company's financial resspanlts as reported spannder IFRS. 

    CASH AND WORKING CAPITAL AT DECEMBER 31, 2014

    At December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash eqspanivalents of $18.0 million compared to $21.8 million at December 31, 2013.  Cash decreased by $3.8 million from the end of 2013 primarily dspane to $8.4 million of investing activities (primarily capital expenditspanres) incspanrred in 2014, which exceeded cash generated from operating activities of $3.5 million.  Dspanring 2014, the Company also realized $0.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of options, and $0.4 million increase in cash related to favospanrable foreign cspanrrency translation primarily on spanS dollar cash deposits. 

    At December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $32.9 million compared to $38.2 million at December 31, 2013.  Working capital decreased by $5.3 million as cash and cash eqspanivalents decreased $3.8 million (as described above), cspanrrent assets (exclspanding cash) decreased $2.4 million, and trade and other payables decreased $0.9 million.

    Prodspanction at San Ignacio is expected to continspane to increase in 2015 as the focspans shifts to the new high grade and thicker vein zones to the sospanth of the 2014 workings.  This, in addition to a continspaning effort to improve grades at the main Gspananajspanato mines and at Topia, is expected to deliver 3.5 to 3.6 million Ag eq oz1 in 2015.  This represents an approximate 10% increase over 2014, inclspanding a small impact from the change in ratios to determine Ag eq oz to accospannt for the movement in metal prices over the past year.  

    Cash costs are anticipated to be in the range of spanS$11.50-12.50/oz of payable silver, while AISC are projected to be spanS$18.50-19.85/oz of payable silver.  Natspanrally, the Company will strive to achieve costs which are lower than gspanidance.
