PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Çöpler Incident
On February 13, 2024, SSR Mining Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SSR Mining,” or the “Company”) suspended all operations at its Çöpler property as a result of a significant slip on the heap leach pad (the “Çöpler Incident”). Nine employees lost their lives in connection with the Çöpler Incident.
Following the Çöpler Incident, the Company focused on four key priorities: (1) the recovery of our missing colleagues; (2) containment of the incident and remediation of the site; (3) the investigation into the root cause of the incident; and (4) preparing for the restart of the Çöpler mine.
With respect to our missing colleagues, all nine individuals have been recovered and returned to their families and we continue to support the families and the community members impacted by the Çöpler Incident.
All the planned containment infrastructure, including a grout curtain, coffer dam, and buttress, as well as pumping systems and the Sabırlı creek diversion, has been successfully installed and is proving to be effective. Public statements from Turkish government officials continue to reiterate that there has been no recordable contamination to local soil, water or air in the sampling locations.
In partnership with the Turkish authorities, the Company has continued to progress the remediation at the site. To date, over 16 million tonnes (approximately 86%) of the displaced heap leach material has been moved to temporary storage locations, including substantially all the displaced material from the Sabırlı Valley. As part of the remediation work, the heap leach pad will be permanently closed, and heap leach processing will no longer take place at Çöpler. We are continuing discussions with Turkish government officials around the final remediation plan, including the approval and construction of the east storage facility, which will permanently store the displaced material.
The Çöpler remediation and containment work is estimated to cost between $250.0 to $300.0 million and take a total of 24 to 36 months to complete. In the third quarter of 2024, $48.3 million was spent on remediation activities at Çöpler, bringing total remediation spend since April 1, 2024 to $103.3 million.
The initial design of the heap leach facility prepared prior to commencing production in 2010, and each subsequent expansion thereafter, was engineered, reviewed, and approved by independent, third-party engineering firms. Throughout the various stages of construction across the life of the heap leach facility, third-party reviews were also conducted to ensure conformance with the underlying engineering design parameters.
The investigations into the cause of the Çöpler Incident began shortly after the event. The Company has commissioned independent experts to review the design, construction, and operation of the heap leach facility. To date, this review has not identified any material non-conformance with the construction or operation of the heap leach facility relative to the third-party engineered design parameters.
SSR Mining continues to work closely with the relevant authorities to advance the required permits for the restart of the Çöpler mine. Once all necessary regulatory approvals, including the operating permits, are reinstated, it is anticipated that initial operations at Çöpler could restart within 20 days and would consist of processing a combination of stockpiled ore and ore mined from Çakmaktepe, while the remediation work continues.
As previously disclosed, in November 2023, prior to the Çöpler Incident, a legal challenge was filed in a local court against the Çöpler mine’s environmental impact assessment, which was approved in 2021 (the “2021 EIA”). On August 20, 2024, the local court issued a decision cancelling the 2021 EIA due to insufficiencies in the 2021 EIA approval process. The Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, who had originally approved the 2021 EIA, has filed an appeal of the decision, and the Company has filed a simultaneous intervener appeal as well. As previously disclosed, with the cancellation of the 2021 EIA, the operating guidelines at Çöpler revert to those outlined in the Company’s prior Environmental Impact Assessment, which was issued in 2014 (the “2014 EIA”). Among other operating considerations, the 2014 EIA prescribes a lower throughput rate for the sulfide plant operations of 6,000 tonnes per day, as compared to 9,000 tonnes per day under the 2021 EIA.
At this time, we are not able to estimate or predict when and under what conditions we will resume operations at Çöpler. Additionally, SSR Mining cannot, at this time, assess the entire scope of the impact of operating under the 2014 EIA. For additional information on the Çöpler Incident, including a discussion of the associated risks, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed on February 27, 2024, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed on May 8, 2024, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 filed on July 31, 2024, and the information provided herein.
THIRD QUARTER 2024 SUMMARY (United States dollars, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts): (1)
•Operating results: Third quarter 2024 production was 97,429 gold equivalent ounces. In the third quarter of 2024, operations at Çöpler remained suspended following the February 13, 2024 incident. Additionally, operations at Seabee were suspended on August 21, 2024 due to forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. Seabee successfully restarted operations on October 11, 2024. Year-to-date, the Company produced 275,113 gold equivalent ounces at a consolidated cost of sales of $1,312 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $1,886 per ounce. The Company’s year to date AISC includes $49.2 million in cash care and maintenance costs, or approximately $179 per gold equivalent ounce, of which $41.5 million was incurred at Çöpler and $7.7 million was incurred at Seabee.
•Financial results: Net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the third quarter of 2024 was $10.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, including $29.8 million in care and maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler and $9.6 million at Seabee. Adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the third quarter of 2024 was $6.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, after adjusting for items related to the Çöpler Incident and other tax impacts. In the third quarter of 2024, operating cash flow was $(1.3) million, and free cash flow was $(34.1) million.
•Cash and liquidity position: As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $334.3 million and total liquidity of $834.0 million inclusive of its revolving credit facility and accompanying accordion feature. At the end of the third quarter, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, exclusive of de minimus letters of credit, and was in compliance with its covenants.
•Seabee Operations: Following the temporarily suspension of operations at Seabee due to forest fires, employees were cleared to return to the site on September 23, 2024 to begin repairs to remote equipment damaged by the fires, including power poles, piping, and exploration equipment. Operations at Seabee were fully reinstated on October 11, 2024.
•Çöpler remediation: As of September 30, 2024, substantially all of the heap leach material displaced during the February 13th incident had been removed from the Sabırlı Valley. Remediation spend in the third quarter totaled $48.3 million, bringing total remediation spend since April 1, 2024 to $103.3 million.
(1) AISC, free cash flow, adjusted attributable net income (loss), and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. For explanations of these measures and reconciliations to the most comparable financial measure calculated under U.S. GAAP, please see the discussion under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis herein.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.THE COMPANY
SSR Mining Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SSR Mining” or the “Company”) is a precious metals mining company with four producing assets located in the United States, Türkiye, Canada and Argentina. The Company is principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in Türkiye and the Americas. The Company produces gold doré as well as copper, silver, lead and zinc concentrates. The Company’s properties include Çöpler Gold Mine (“Çöpler”) in Erzincan, Türkiye, Marigold mine (“Marigold”) in Nevada, USA, Seabee Gold Operation (“Seabee”) in Saskatchewan, Canada, and Puna Operations (“Puna”) in Jujuy, Argentina. The Company also has development projects that it seeks to advance, as market and project conditions permit.
SSR Mining is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in the U.S. under the symbol “SSRM” and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in Australia under the symbol “SSR.”
On August 21, 2024, the Company evacuated and suspended operations at Seabee due to forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. Following the containment of the fires, employees were cleared to return to the site in late September 2024, and mining operations restarted at Seabee on October 11, 2024. The process plant and Santoy mine were not materially impacted by the fires, but remote equipment including power poles, piping, and exploration equipment was damaged. See Note 14 for further details.
On February 13, 2024, the Company suspended all operations at Çöpler as a result of a significant slip on the heap leach pad (the “Çöpler Incident”). See Note 3 for further details.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
As a mining company, the revenue, profitability and future rate of growth of the Company are substantially dependent on the prevailing prices for gold, silver, lead and zinc. The prices of these metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Mineral properties, plant and equipment; Inventories; and Deferred income tax assets are sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition, the Company maintains cash balances at banking institutions in various jurisdictions which may or may not have deposit insurance. The Company mitigates potential cash risk by maintaining bank accounts with credit-worthy financial institutions. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company's business may be impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include inflation, interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations and slowdown of economic activity around the world. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents primarily in United States dollars (“USD”). Any fluctuation in the exchange rate of the Turkish Lira (“TRY”), Canadian Dollar (“CAD”), Argentine Peso (“ARS”), or the currency of any other country in which the Company operates, against the USD could result in a loss on the Company’s books to the extent the Company holds funds or net monetary or non-monetary assets denominated in those currencies, and any fluctuations of currency prices generally may result in volatility. Certain of the Company's operations are located in countries that have in the past and are currently experiencing high rates of inflation. It is possible that in the future, high inflation in the countries in which we operate may result in an increase in operational costs in local currencies (without a concurrent devaluation of the local currency of operations against the dollar or an increase in the dollar price of gold, silver, copper, zinc or lead). Maintaining operating costs in currencies subject to significant inflation could expose us to risks relating to devaluation and high domestic inflation.

The Company's business may also be impacted by physical risks that can impact each of its properties, such as those experienced in connection with the Çöpler Incident.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with SSR Mining Inc.’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed on February 27, 2024. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Final Rule 33-11275 “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” (“Final Rule”). The Final Rule requires disclosures regarding information about a registrant's climate-related risks that have a material impact on, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on, its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, certain disclosures related to capitalized costs, expenditures, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the audited financial statements. The Final Rule is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. On April 4, 2024, the SEC stayed the rules pending the resolution of certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the rules on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
3.ÇÖPLER INCIDENT
On February 13, 2024, the Company suspended all operations at Çöpler as a result of the Çöpler Incident. The Company, in partnership with the Turkish authorities, has continued to progress remediation efforts. The Company is not, at this time, able to estimate or predict when and under what conditions it will resume operations at Çöpler. During the suspension, Care and maintenance was recorded in the Statements of Operations which represents direct costs not associated with the environmental reclamation and remediation of $16.5 million and depreciation of $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred direct costs not associated with the environmental reclamation and remediation of $41.5 million and depreciation of $33.2 million.

Reclamation and remediation liabilities
As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated a preliminary cost range of $250.0 to $300.0 million for future reclamation and remediation costs related to the Çöpler Incident, in addition to the approximately $22.5 million incurred during the first quarter of 2024. The Company accrued approximately $250.0 million as of March 31, 2024, which represents the low end of the estimated cost range. The Company continues to evaluate the remediation costs; however, no adjustments were made to the total estimated reclamation and remediation costs during the second or third quarter of 2024.
Reclamation
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an $11.2 million revision to the reclamation liability to reflect changes in the timing and extent of the closure of the heap leach pad as a result of the Çöpler Incident. The revision was recorded in Reclamation and remediation costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Remediation
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a remediation liability of $261.7 million as a result of the Çöpler Incident. The remediation activities include movement of the debris out of the Sabırlı Valley and Manganese pit, sloping and stabilization of the heap leach pad in preparation for permanent closure, construction of a permanent storage facility for the debris, and management of surface and ground water in the Sabırlı Valley. The costs incurred and the remediation liability were recorded in Reclamation and remediation costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4.ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
Hod Maden Project
On May 8, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alacer Gold Corporation, closed on an agreement to acquire a 10% interest in, and operational control of, Artmin Madencilik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Artmin”) which owns the Hod Maden gold-copper development project, located in northeastern Türkiye (the “Transaction”). Hod Maden was owned 70% by Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Lidya Mines”) and 30% by Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon”) prior to the closing of the Transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction, the Company made a $120.0 million cash payment to Lidya Mines to acquire a 10% interest in Artmin. The Company has the option to acquire an additional 30% interest in Artmin from Lidya Mines for $120.0 million in structured payments tied to the completion of project construction spending milestones. Additionally, the Company will make contingent payments to Lidya Mines including $30.0 million in milestone payments payable in accordance with an agreed upon schedule beginning at the start of construction and ending on the first anniversary of commercial production and $84.0 million payable upon the delineation of an additional 500,000 gold equivalent ounces of mineral reserves at the Hod Maden project in excess of the project’s current mineral reserves and mineral resources.
The Company determined that Artmin is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it is the primary beneficiary and is consolidated under ASC 810 as the Company has the power to direct the significant activities and the right to receive benefits and obligation to absorb losses of Artmin. The assets of Artmin can only be used to settle the obligations of Artmin and not the obligations of the Company. The creditors of Artmin do not have recourse to the assets or general credit of the Company to satisfy its liabilities. The Company concluded that Artmin was not a business based on its assessment under ASC 805 and accounted for the acquisition as an initial consolidation of a VIE that is not a business under ASC 810. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the Transaction included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets acquired are included in the Corporate and other operating segment.

Divestitures
Divestiture of San Luis
On May 23, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the San Luis project located in the Ancash department of central Peru to Highlander Silver Corp. (“Highlander Silver”) in exchange for cash of $5.0 million and contingent consideration in the form of cash payments of up to $37.5 million. The Company recognized a gain of $6.7 million included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, calculated as the difference between the fair value of consideration received and the carrying amount of the net assets sold. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the closing date was $2.4 million and is payable in five installments beginning with the commencement of an initial drilling program at the San Luis project and ending on the second anniversary of commercial production. The consideration received does not include certain payments that are contingent upon completion of a feasibility study and commercial production as the consideration is variable and constrained under ASC 606. The consideration will be recorded as a gain in the period in which it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur, which is expected upon advancement of the San Luis project and achievement of project development milestones. The assets were included in Corporate and other in Note 5. The Company retained a 4.0% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on the San Luis project, half of which can be repurchased by Highlander Silver for $15.0 million at any time until the commencement of construction.

5.OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company currently has four producing mines which represent the Company’s reportable and operating segments. The results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. All operations at Çöpler ceased on February 13, 2024, following the Çöpler Incident. On August 21, 2024, the Company suspended operations at Seabee due to forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. Seabee successfully restarted mining operations on October 11, 2024.

7.INCOME AND MINING TAXES
The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 2.1% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to (8.8)% for the first nine months of 2023. The primary drivers of the change in the effective rate were due to foreign currency fluctuations and changes in the valuation allowance. The Company’s statutory tax rate for the period is 27.0%. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations and changes in the valuation allowance.
On June 19, 2024, Canada’s Bill C-69, Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1, received third reading in the Canadian House of Commons and Pillar Two became substantively enacted for Canadian financial reporting purposes. The legislation is effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. The Company has limited exposure to taxes under Pillar Two as most of its jurisdictions have an effective tax rate greater than the 15%. However, the Company may have exposure to taxes under Pillar Two in the range of $0 to $10.0 million for the 2024 year.
On July 28, 2024, the Republic of Türkiye enacted Pillar Two legislation and a unique domestic corporate minimum tax of 10%. The Turkish Pillar Two legislation will be effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024; however, the Company does not anticipate any incremental taxes under this system for 2024, other than those described above. The domestic corporate minimum tax will be effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is still in the process of assessing its potential exposure to the domestic minimum tax for future periods.

10.INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company calculates basic net income (loss) per share using, as the denominator, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share uses, as its denominator, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potential dilutive shares during the period.
Potential dilutive common shares include stock options, Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), and convertible notes for periods in which the Company has reported net income (loss).
The calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders are based on the following (in thousands):

If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Environmental matters
The Company uses surety bonds to support certain environmental bonding obligations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had surety bonds totaling $156.0 million and $142.7 million outstanding, respectively.
Other commitments and contingencies
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $15.3 million of contingencies related to the Çöpler Incident in Other operating expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Accrued liabilities and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company revised the estimate of Çöpler Incident related costs and recognized a gain of $7.9 million, included in Other operating expense (income), net. See Note 3 for further details.
Following the Çöpler Incident, the Company has been named as a defendant in securities class actions in the United States and Canada and is subject to various risks and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Based on the information currently available to the Company, no liability has been recorded for these lawsuits because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable at this time.

(1)Excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
(2)The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted attributable net income (loss), adjusted basic attributable net income (loss) per share, cash costs and all in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce sold to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation of these financial measures to Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and Cost of sales, which are the comparable GAAP financial measures.
(3)Data for lead production and sales relate only to lead in lead concentrate. Data for zinc production and sales relate only to zinc in zinc concentrate.
(4)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the gold equivalent ounce calculations.
Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue decreased by $128.0 million, or 33.2%, to $257.4 million, as compared to $385.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to 60.9% fewer gold equivalent ounces sold, or $191.2 million, partially offset by a 32.3% higher average realized gold price, or $63.2 million. The decrease in gold ounces sold was primarily related to the suspension of operations at Çöpler following the Çöpler Incident and the suspension of operations at Seabee as a result of forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. For a complete discussion of revenue by segment, refer to the Results of Operations below.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue decreased by $328.6 million, or 32.8%, to $672.4 million, as compared to $1,001.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to 53.2% fewer gold equivalent ounces sold, or $429.8 million, partially offset by an 18.5% higher average realized gold price, or $101.2 million. The decrease in gold ounces sold was primarily related to the suspension of operations at Çöpler following the Çöpler Incident.

General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $19.0 million as compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher employee compensation expense.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $45.3 million as compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses decreased mainly due to lower stock-based compensation expense of $5.7 million, which was a result of lower share price in 2024, and lower consulting and professional fees of $1.5 million.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $11.4 million compared to $14.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2023. Exploration and evaluation costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $32.9 million compared to $39.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2023. Exploration and evaluation costs were lower due to reduced drilling activity during 2024 as compared to 2023. Exploration and evaluation costs were primarily related to the Sterling project at Marigold, exploration activities for the Cortaderas project at Puna, and surface exploration for the Amisk project at Seabee.
Reclamation and remediation costs
Reclamation and remediation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $2.4 million as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Reclamation and remediation costs were consistent quarter over quarter.
Reclamation and remediation costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $280.1 million as compared to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Reclamation and remediation costs increased by $273.6 million mainly due to reclamation and remediation costs related to the Çöpler Incident.
Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $39.4 million. Care and maintenance expense incurred during the third quarter of 2024 represents direct costs not associated with environmental reclamation and remediation costs of $16.5 million and depreciation of $13.3 million during the suspension of operations at Çöpler in addition to direct costs of $7.7 million and depreciation of $1.9 million during the suspension of operations at Seabee during the third quarter of 2024.
Care and maintenance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $84.3 million. Care and maintenance expense incurred during 2024 represents direct costs not associated with environmental reclamation and remediation costs of $41.5 million and depreciation of $33.2 million during the suspension of operations at Çöpler in addition to direct costs of $7.7 million and depreciation of $1.9 million during the suspension of operations at Seabee during the third quarter of 2024.
Impairment charges
Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $114.6 million. The impairment charges were due to non-cash impairment charges of $114.2 million of heap leach pad inventory and related heap leach facilities due to the Çöpler Incident and non-cash impairment charges of $0.4 million resulting from the damage to plant and equipment due to the forest fires at Seabee.
Other operating expense (income), net
Other operating expense (income), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.1 million as compared to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change is mainly due to $5.4 million in reduction in force payments, $4.0 million of expenses related to the Çöpler Incident, $4.9 million in other taxes, and $0.5 million loss on disposal of assets, partially offset by a change in contingency estimates and expenses related to the Çöpler Incident of $7.9 million.
Other operating expense (income), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $19.2 million as compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change is due to $19.3 million of contingencies and expenses related to the Çöpler Incident and $4.9 million in other taxes, partially offset by a $5.1 million net gain on the sale and disposal of assets primarily attributable to the divestiture of San Luis.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.9 million as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $9.7 million as compared to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower debt balances outstanding during 2024 following the full repayment of the Term Loan in the third quarter 2023.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $8.6 million as compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The changes were mainly due to the reduction in gains on investments and on marketable security sales of $5.5 million and the decrease in interest income of $2.2 million as a result of lower cash balances, partially offset by $4.2 million of other expense.
Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $17.3 million as compared to $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes were mainly due to the decrease in interest income of $7.7 million as a result of lower cash balances, reduction in gains on investments and on marketable security sales of $8.7 million, change in fair value of marketable securities of $6.1 million, partially offset by $2.3 million of other expense.
Foreign exchange gain (loss)
Foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.5 million compared to a loss of $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the foreign exchange loss was mainly due to the weakening of the ARS against the USD and its impact on ARS-denominated assets.
Foreign exchange loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.6 million compared to a loss of $57.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the change in foreign exchange loss was mainly comprised of $42.5 million attributable to the weakening of the ARS against the USD and higher ARS-denominated assets at Puna in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2024, and $5.9 million attributable to the weakening of the TRY against the USD at Çöpler in 2023 compared to the same period in 2024, offset by higher TRY-denominated assets at Çöpler in 2024.

Income and mining tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.9 million as compared to an expense of $68.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily a result of a one-time deferred tax charge of $68.9 million in 2023, following an increase in the corporate tax rate in Türkiye. This was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in tax expense as a result of various factors including, foreign currency fluctuations, permanent tax differences, and changes in operating income.
Income and mining tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.6 million as compared to a benefit of $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in income tax benefit was primarily a result of a $73.2 million reduction in the tax benefits from foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. This reduction in benefit was partially offset by the absence of a one-time deferred tax charge of $68.9 million in 2023, following an increase in the corporate tax rate in Türkiye.

Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023
Gold production decreased 42.1% due to fewer tonnes and lower grade ore stacked in addition to timing of leach recoveries. Revenue decreased by $38.7 million, or 24.4%, of which $68.7 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by a $30.0 million increase due to higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $7.4 million, or 9.0%, due to fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by lower grade ore stacked. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 60.5% and 60.6%, respectively, due to lower grade ore stacked and higher royalty costs. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 65.3% as a result of higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Gold production decreased 44.5% due to lower grade ore stacked, partially offset by more ore tonnes stacked. Revenue decreased by $117.1 million, or 31.3%, of which $164.0 million was the result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by a $46.9 million increase due to higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $37.6 million, or 18.8%, due to fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher mining costs as a result of more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased 44.5% and 44.4%, respectively, due to more waste tonnes mined and lower grade ore stacked. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 22.9% due to higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which reflected the purchase of four haul trucks.

Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023
Gold production decreased 48.3% as a result of the temporary suspension of operations on August 21, 2024 due to forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. Revenue decreased by $8.7 million, or 23.8%, of which $15.4 million was a result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by an increase of $6.7 million due to higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $5.5 million, or 27.8%, as a result of fewer gold ounces sold, partially offset by lower grade and fewer ore tonnes milled. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased by 24.8% and 24.7%, respectively, due to lower grade and fewer ore tonnes milled. AISC per ounce of gold sold increased 66.5%% due to higher cash costs per ounce of gold sold and care and maintenance expenses incurred during the temporary suspension of operations.
Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Gold production decreased 2.5% due to fewer ore tonnes milled, partially offset by higher mill feed grade. Gold sold exceeded gold production during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the timing of sales of finished goods inventory. Revenue increased by $23.6 million, or 23.9%, of which $6.0 million was a result of more gold ounces sold and $17.6 million was a result of higher average realized gold price. Cost of sales decreased by $5.4 million, or 8.7%, as a result of higher grade ore milled, partially offset by fewer ore tonnes milled. Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold and cash costs per ounce of gold sold decreased 14.0% and 14.0%, respectively, due to higher grade ore milled. AISC per ounce of gold sold decreased 5.0% due to lower cash costs per ounce of gold sold, partially offset by care and maintenance expenses incurred during the temporary suspension of operations in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

(1)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average LBMA prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the gold equivalent ounce calculations.
(2)Excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
(3)The Company reports the non-GAAP financial measures of cash costs and AISC per ounce of silver sold to manage and evaluate operating performance at Puna. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation to Cost of sales, which is the comparable GAAP financial measure.
Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023
Silver production increased 9.1% due to more ore tonnes milled. Silver sold decreased 2.3% due to the timing of concentrate sales. Revenue increased by $22.1 million, or 29.2%, of which $0.5 million was the result of higher volume of concentrate sold and $22.6 million was the result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease due to lower average realized lead price. Cost of sales increased by $1.3 million, or 3.0%, as a result of higher royalties and export duties. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold increased by 5.4% due to more waste tonnes mined and higher royalties and export duties. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 5.4% due to lower treatment and refining charges and an increase in by-product credits from higher lead and zinc sales. AISC per ounce of silver sold increased 17.9% due to higher sustaining capital expenditures and reclamation cost accretion and amortization.
Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Silver production increased 8.7% due to more ore tonnes milled. Silver sold decreased 2.2% due to the timing of concentrate sales attributable to transportation delays at the end of 2022, which resulted in a buildup of finished goods inventory that was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023. Revenue increased by $27.4 million, or 13.4%, of which $35.8 million was a result of higher average realized silver and zinc prices, partially offset by $1.9 million as a result of lower average realized lead price and $6.5 million due to lower volume of concentrate sold. Cost of sales decreased by $11.0 million, or 8.9%, due to lower transportation expenses, fewer waste tonnes mined, and fewer silver ounces sold. Cost of sales per ounce of silver sold decreased by 6.8% due to lower transportation expenses and fewer waste tonnes mined. Cash costs per ounce of silver sold decreased by 13.7% due to the decrease in cost of sales per ounce of silver sold discussed above, an increase in by-product credits from higher lead and zinc sales, and lower treatment and refining charges. AISC per ounce of silver sold increased 0.3% due to higher reclamation cost accretion and amortization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company continues to analyze its liquidity position subsequent to the Çöpler Incident, taking into consideration its available cash and cash equivalents; expected revenues and operating and capital expenditures for the Company’s other three mines; potential penalties and fines, restitution, and legal obligations; estimates of reclamation and remediation related costs; and care and maintenance expenditures at Çöpler over the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $334.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, and the Company has no borrowings outstanding on the Second Amended Credit Agreement at this time. Each of the Company’s three other mines operates independently and are not dependent on cash flows or operational synergies associated with Çöpler. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that its current liquidity position is sufficient to sustain the operational needs for the Company’s three other mines, as well as satisfy reclamation and remediation related costs, monitoring and care and maintenance efforts at Çöpler, for the next twelve months without needing to borrow under its Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Company may still elect to borrow under the Second Amended Credit Agreement or seek alternate sources of capital for any liquidity needs. All debts, liabilities and obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s material subsidiaries and secured by certain of the Company’s assets and material subsidiaries and pledges of the securities of the Company’s material subsidiaries, but does not include the Çöpler assets and subsidiaries and other Alacer entities.
To borrow under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, the Company will be required to satisfy certain financial ratios related to interest coverage and net leverage and make certain representations and warranties on a quarterly basis, including assessing financial ratios over a twelve-month period. Subject to the timing of any borrowings we may make under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, if any, we may be required to seek an amendment from the lenders to permit borrowings if we cannot meet the financial ratios or other requirements due to lower cash flows resulting from the Çöpler Incident or otherwise.
The Company manages its liquidity risk through the planning, budgeting and forecasting process, which is reviewed and updated on a regular basis, to help determine the funding requirements to support its current operations, expansion and development plans, and by managing its capital structure.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2024, the Company had $334.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $158.1 million from December 31, 2023. Refer to the Cash Flows section below for additional detail of the Company’s cash flow activities. The Company held $316.7 million of its cash and cash equivalents balance in USD. Additionally, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million, $5.4 million and $4.9 million in ARS, CAD and TRY, respectively.
The Company maintains cash balances at banking institutions in various jurisdictions which may or may not have deposit insurance. The Company mitigates potential cash risk by maintaining bank accounts with credit-worthy financial institutions. All cash is invested in short-term investments or high interest savings accounts in accordance with the Company’s investment policy with original maturities of 90 days or less, providing the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its foreseeable capital needs.
Debt
Credit Agreement
On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, and along with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as co-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, the lenders party thereto and certain subsidiary guarantors named therein. The amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity to August 15, 2027, (ii) increases the credit agreement to $400.0 million with a $100.0 million accordion feature and (iii) modifies the reference rate from LIBOR to an adjusted SOFR plus applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio and amounts drawn on the credit facility ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%.
Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 20 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.
Cash Dividends
Following the Çöpler Incident, the Board of the Directors of the Company suspended dividends. The Company does not know at this time when it may resume dividends. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared no dividends.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.07 during each quarter, for total dividends of $14.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $43.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Share Repurchase Plan / Normal Course Issuer Bid
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and prior to the Çöpler Incident, the Company purchased 1,117,100 of its outstanding common shares at an average share price of $8.79 per share for total consideration of $9.8 million. No shares have been repurchased since the Çöpler Incident.
The Board of Directors had authorized a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) on June 16, 2023 (the “2023 NCIB”), to repurchase up to an aggregate of 10,200,000 common shares on the Nasdaq, the TSX and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules over a twelve-month period beginning June 20, 2023 and ending June 19, 2024. On November 27, 2023, in connection with the 2023 NCIB, the Company entered into an automatic share purchase plan with its broker to allow for the repurchase of shares at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods. Following the Çöpler Incident, the Company terminated its automatic share purchase plan effective March 1, 2024. The 2023 NCIB expired on June 19, 2024 and the Company has not, at this time, sought approval for a new NCIB. The Company does not know at this time when, and if, it may resume share repurchases.
On June 19, 2023, the Normal Course Issuer Bid established as of June 20, 2022 (the “2022 NCIB”), expired. Under the 2022 NCIB, the Company authorized the purchase of up to 10,600,000 common shares. The Company purchased and cancelled 9,080,119 common shares via open market purchases through the facilities of the TSX and the Nasdaq at a weighted average price paid per common share of $16.01 and a total repurchase value of $145.3 million.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $(54.8) million compared to $218.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in cash provided by (used in) operating activities is mainly due to a 53.2% decrease in gold ounces sold as well as expenditures for remediation and care and maintenance primarily related to the suspension of operations at Çöpler, partially offset by a favorable working capital change and a 18.5% higher average realized gold in 2024 as compared to 2023.
Cash used in investing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $103.6 million compared to $280.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $176.7 million of cash used in investing activities is mainly due to spend of $120.0 million for the acquisition of the Hod Maden project in 2023 and lower capital expenditures of $59.7 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $4.6 million compared to $(157.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in cash provided by (used in) financing activities was mainly due lower cash payments for debt in the amount of $70.2 million, lower dividends paid in the amount of $43.2 million, a decrease in the purchases and cancellation of common shares in the amount of $35.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from related party debt of $13.9 million.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations since December 31, 2023 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s contractual obligations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist in understanding the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in decision-making, as well as to provide key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders will find this information useful to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. These performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Measure - Cash Costs and AISC
Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per payable ounce of gold and respective unit cost measures are non-U.S. GAAP metrics developed by the World Gold Council to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing gold and provide a standard for comparison across the industry. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry.
The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is Cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits, which allows management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production.
AISC includes total Cost of sales incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, growth capital is excluded. The Company determines sustaining capital to be capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. The Company determines growth capital to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation.
The Company believes that AISC provides additional information to management and stakeholders that provides visibility to better define the total costs associated with production and better understanding of the economics of the Company's operations and performance compared to other producers.
In deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales to cash costs and AISC:

(1)Excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reclassified Sustaining exploration and evaluation expense to Sustaining capital expenditures at Puna. These costs had been appropriately capitalized in prior periods, but had been reported as expense rather than capital in the AISC table. The update to the presentation for these costs did not impact the AISC per ounce calculation.
(3)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average LBMA prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the gold equivalent ounce calculations.
(4)Gold equivalent ounces sold may not re-calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.

Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted Attributable Net Income (Loss)
Adjusted attributable net income (loss) and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per share are used by management and investors to measure the Company’s underlying operating performance. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and Net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders. Adjusted attributable net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company’s underlying operations, including impairment charges; and inflationary impacts on tax balances.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders:

(1)The effects of the Çöpler Incident represent the following unusual and nonrecurring charges: (1) reclamation costs of $9.0 million and remediation costs of $209.3 million (amounts are presented net of pre-tax attributable to non-controlling interest of $50.1 million); (2) impairment charges of $91.4 million related to plans to permanently close the heap leach pad (amount is presented net of pre-tax attributable to non-controlling interest of $22.8 million); and (3) contingencies and expenses of $10.3 million (amount is presented net of pre-tax attributable to non-controlling interest of $2.6 million). Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to the impact of the Çöpler Incident.
(2)For the year ended September 30, 2024, impairments of long-lived and other assets are related to remote equipment damaged due to forest fires at Seabee. For the year ended September 30, 2023, impairments of long-lived and other assets represent non-cash write-downs of various assets and materials and supplies inventories.
(3)Represents charges related to a one-time tax imposed by Türkiye to fund earthquake recovery efforts, offset by a release of an uncertain tax position.
(4)Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders is calculated using diluted common shares, which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, $1.2 million interest saving on 2019 Notes, net of tax, and potentially dilutive shares of approximately 13.0 million were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as they were antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $3.7 million interest saving on 2019 Notes, net of tax, and potentially dilutive shares of approximately 13.3 million were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as they were antidilutive. These interest savings and shares were excluded in the computation of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as they were antidilutive.
Non-GAAP Measure - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company’s underlying operations, including impairment charges.
The most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders.
The following is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:

Non-GAAP Measure - Free Cash Flow
The Company uses free cash flow to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP is Cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow after capital investments and build the Company’s cash resources. The Company calculates free cash flow by deducting cash capital spending from cash generated by operating activities. The Company does not deduct payments made for business acquisitions.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow:
