Endeavour Silver - Operating Cost Profile Expected to Improve in the Second Half

Second quarter 2021 results. Endeavour reported second quarter 2021 net income of $6.7 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.02) per share during the prior year period. Excluding a gain on the sale of the El Cubo mine, the company generated net income of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share. We had projected net income of $6.9 million or $0.04 per share. Revenue was in line with our estimates although operating costs were higher than expected due to inflationary pressures, including increased labor costs. Cash costs per silver ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce increased to $13.03 and $25.30, respectively, compared to $7.86 and $19.94 in the first quarter of 2021. Updating estimates. We have trimmed our 2021 EPS and EBITDA estimates to $0.03 and $47.5 million from $0.06 and $52.5 million, respectively. Our 2022 EPS and EBITDA estimates are $0.18 and $75.5 million, respectively. While our 2022 estimates are largely unchanged, our 2021 estimates reflect second quarter results although we anticipate some margin improvement in the second half of the year. There were some costs in the second quarter that won't repeat in the second half, and management is confident they will be able to achieve tonnage and grade targets for Guanacevi and Bolanitos. Terronera feasibility study. Endeavour ended the quarter with cash of $125.2 million. The company expects to complete a feasibility study for the Terronera project during the third quarter and believes the equity portion of the project's funding is secure with $60 million to $100 million expected to be project financed. Rating is Market Perform. While the company continues to work on reducing its operating cost profile, we think it is making the right moves to position the company for growth. In addition to the Terronera mine project, Endeavour recently agreed to acquire the Bruner gold exploration project in Nevada from Canamex Gold Corp. for $10 million. The transaction requires the approval of Canamex shareholders.

10 Silver ETFs for Every Investing Style in 2025

Investors looking for exposure to the silver price and silver-mining companies should consider silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Spurred by moves in the gold market, safe haven buying as well as increasing demand from industrial sectors, silver saw strong price movements in the first half of 2025, breaching US$37 per ounce for the first time since 2011.

While silver has often been seen as a more approachable precious metal owing to its lower per ounce price, its performance has lagged gains seen in the gold price over the past few years. However, silver stole some of the spotlight in the second quarter of 2025 as it saw significant gains on the back of geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty from the US trade and tariff policy.

Like gold, investors can gain exposure to silver in several ways that each offer their own pros and cons, along with differing costs and risks. For example, investors can purchase physical silver bars or coins, or invest in silver futures.
