VANCOUVER, BC, July 17,
2024 /CNW/ - (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI)
Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the
"Company") is pre-announcing certain items impacting the Company's
quarterly earnings, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA")1,
adjusted earnings1 and adjusted earnings per
share1.
Foreign Exchange and Derivatives
Items of significant impact in the second quarter 2024 are
expected to include unaudited foreign exchange and trading gains on
debt and equity investments supporting the capital funding for the
Josemaria Project of approximately $10
million. Unaudited realized gains on foreign exchange and
unaudited realized losses on foreign exchange and commodity
derivative contracts were not significant in the quarter.
In the second quarter 2024 the Company is also expected to
recognize certain non-cash items that will impact the Company's
earnings but not adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings or adjusted
earnings per share. These include an unaudited non-cash unrealized
loss on foreign exchange of approximately $3
million on a pre-tax basis, and an unaudited non-cash
unrealized gain of approximately $4
million on a pre-tax basis related to the mark-to-market
valuation of the Company's unexpired foreign exchange and commodity
derivative contracts.
Provisional Pricing Adjustments
Revenue in the second quarter 2024 is expected to be positively
impacted by unaudited provisional pricing adjustments on prior
period concentrate sales of approximately $95 million on a pre-tax basis. These adjustments
primarily include upward adjustments in relation to prior period
copper and zinc sales.
The financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024, will be published on
Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
