Pan American Silver Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Press Release by Pan American Silver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan American" or the "Company") reports fourth quarter ("Q4 2025") financial results and audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("FY 2025"). The Company will host a conference call and webcast on February 19, 2026 to discuss the results; details provided further in this news release.

"Pan American delivered record financial results across the board in 2025, reflecting strong operating margins with production and costs in line or better than guidance and higher realized silver and gold prices," said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Looking ahead to 2026, we expect another strong year of cash flow generation following the record $554 million of operating cash flow generated in Q4 2025 alone. Attributable silver production is forecast to increase by approximately 14% over 2025, with silver segment all-in sustaining costs of $15.75 to $18.25 per ounce, driven in large part by the contribution from the Juanicipio mine. With $1.3 billion in cash and short-term investments (excluding our $127 million share of cash at Juanicipio), we are well positioned to advance our growth projects - notably the La Colorada Skarn and Jacobina optimization - as well as to enhance shareholder returns. Today, we increased the dividend to $0.18 per common share with respect to Q4 2025 for the third consecutive quarterly increase, allowing shareholders to participate directly in rising net cash levels. In 2025, we returned $221 million to our shareholders in dividends and share buybacks, including $74 million in Q4."

The following highlights for Q4 2025 and FY 2025 include certain measures that are not generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures.

PROJECT UPDATES

In 2025, the Company invested $94 million of project capital, in line with the guidance range provided for the year. The majority of the investment was directed to advance projects at the La Colorada mine and Skarn and at Jacobina, with the remainder invested at the Cerro Moro, Huaron and Timmins mines.

La Colorada Mine and Skarn

The Company invested $13 million of project capital at the La Colorada mine, directed largely at exploration and mine equipment leases to access, mine, and expand mineral resource extensions in the eastern and southeastern higher-grade Candelaria zone. At the La Colorada Skarn, $22 million of project capital was largely for exploration and in-fill drilling and to advance engineering work. The discovery of multiple high-grade silver zones and the subsequent mineral resource and mineral reserve expansion (see the news releases dated September 8 and 11, 2025) provide the opportunity to integrate the mine plans and infrastructure of the vein mine and the Skarn project. The Company is now evaluating a potential phased approach to developing the La Colorada mine and Skarn project with the aim of maximizing the overall value of the deposit. A phased approach would allow the Company to focus on a higher grade, lower tonnage and less capital intensive initial stage with the option to be followed by a later expansion to target lower grade material. The advantage of this approach is to provide greater optionality on the development of the substantial mineral resource identified to date on the deposit, while also targeting higher grades first and optimizing vein mining activities in parallel to the development of the Skarn. The Company anticipates that it will release an updated technical report in the second quarter of 2026 to include a preliminary economic assessment of the new development approach for the Skarn project. In parallel, the Company continues to discuss a potential partnership for development of the project, including the proposed change in development plan.

Jacobina Mine

At the Jacobina mine, project capital of $37 million for 2025 was directed toward strengthening operational reliability and advancing long-term growth initiatives. Key investments included: the completion of new screens and metal extractors to enhance plant safety and availability; electromechanical works for advancing installation of two new CIP tanks, which are scheduled for completion by the second quarter of 2026; improvements to the tailings pump system; engineering for the main substation and electrical house with construction planned to commence in 2026; and exploration and in-fill drilling activities directed towards expanding the reserve and resource base. In parallel, significant progress was made on mine and plant optimization studies, including the evaluations of enhanced technologies and development of a filtered tailings plant and stack. The mine is advancing studies on paste backfill to potentially allow for the recovery of future pillars that would otherwise be left in the northern higher-grade sections of the underground mines. Additionally, underground development rates have accelerated to support the mine optimization.

Escobal Mine

Expenditures at Escobal were for care and maintenance activities while the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM") advanced the ILO 169 consultation process. The MEM continued to hold meetings during Q4 2025, and in December 2025 published an update on their website on the progress made over the October 2024 to November 2025 period and reiterated their commitment to completing the consultation process: https://mem.gob.gt/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/OF-VDS-Boletin-Informativo-Avances.pdf. In addition, during Q4 2025, the MEM conducted an inspection of the Escobal mine and confirmed that the activities are in full compliance with the Constitutional Court order and suspension of activities. There is no timeline or date for the conclusion of the ILO 169 consultation process and no date for the restart of the Escobal mine.
