Q2-2023 OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS

OVERVIEW

Dynacor completed the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 (“Q2-2023”) with a record production of 32,693 AuEq ounces, quarterly sales of $64.5 million and a net income of $4.5 million (US$0.12 per share) compared to sales of $53.9 million (a 19.7% increase) and a net income of $2.6 million (US$0.07 per share) for the second quarter of 2022 (“Q2-2022”) (a net income increase of 73.1% compared to Q2-2022).

Following its 16% increase capacity to 500 tpd at the end of 2022, Dynacor’s ore procurement team was able to increase the tonnage of ore supplied in order to operate the plant at its full capacity during the quarter. The level of ore inventory at the plant continued to rise, reaching 9,600 tonnes at the end of Q2-2023 which represents more than 19 days of production.

Contrary to Q1-2023 which has seen a positive trend in gold market price, Q2-2022 and the strong Q2-2023 financial results were affected by the declining trend in the gold market price.

At the end of Q2-2023 our total assets is exceeding $100 million for the first time.

(1) Cash gross operating margin per AuEq ounce is in US$ and is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of sale per equivalent ounces of Au from the average selling price per equivalent ounces of Au and is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another company.

(2) EBITDA: “Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation” is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another corporation. The Corporation uses this non-IFRS measure as an indicator of the cash generated by the operations and allows investor to compare the profitability of the Corporation with others by canceling effects of different assets basis, effects due to different tax structures as well as the effects of different capital structures.

(3) Cash-flow per share is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another corporation. The Corporation uses this non-IFRS measure which can also be helpful to investors as it provides a result which can be compared with the Corporation market share price.
