Sebastien de Montessus, President and CEO, commented: “Over the past twelve months we have significantly transformed our company into a resilient business capable of rewarding our shareholders through the cycle. This quarter's strong performance demonstrates the quality of our enhanced portfolio of operating mines, following the successful integration of the Teranga assets within our business. Moreover, we are pleased to report significant increases in our per share metrics.

The combined portfolio is on track to meet its FY-2021 guidance and deliver strong cash flows, bolstering our balance sheet and providing the flexibility to advance our exciting organic growth opportunities while continuing to reward shareholders through our dividend and share buyback programs.

From a capital markets perspective, we remain on track to obtain our premium listing on the London Stock Exchange in June, which we expect to broaden our appeal to a wider pool of investor capital, whilst benefiting from the projected increase in indexation demand.

We look forward to continuing to build on the progress we have made throughout the remainder of this year.”

NOTES:

1) Gold sales increased by 63koz in Q1-2021 compared to Q4-2020 due to the addition of the newly acquired Sabodala-Massawa and Wahgnion mines and by 190koz compared to Q1-2020 as a result of the SEMAFO and Teranga acquisitions.

2) The realized gold price for Q1-2021 was $1,749/oz compared to $1,841/oz for Q4-2020 and $1,538/oz for Q1-2020, inclusive of the Sabodala-Massawa and Karma streams. The Sabodala-Massawa stream amounted to 1,567 ounces on a consolidated basis in Q1-2021. The Karma stream amounted to 3,333 ounces in Q1-2021. The Company completed the delivery of 100,000 ounces of gold from the Karma mine as at March 31, 2021. Going forward, the Karma stream will be reduced to 6.5% of gold production. Both streams result in the Company being paid at 20% of the spot gold price for gold subject to the stream.

3) Total cash costs increased in Q1-2021 compared to Q4-2020 due to increased production, while cash costs increased compared to Q1-2020 due to both increased production and higher royalty costs.

4) As shown in the table below, sustaining capital expenditure from continuing operations increased by $23/oz in Q1-2021 compared to Q4-2020, amounting to $28 million which represents 16% of the FY-2021 guided amount of $172 million. The increase, on a per ounce basis compared to Q4-2020, is attributable to the consolidation of the Sabodala-Massawa mine (which incurred high unit sustaining capital costs related to waste capitalization and heavy mining equipment purchases), while increases at Ity and Boungou were partially offset by a decrease at Houndé. Further details by asset are provided in the mine sections below.

5) As shown in the table below, the total non-sustaining capital expenditure from continuing operations increased in Q1-2021 over Q4-2020 mainly due to the addition of the Teranga assets and the expected increase at Houndé, Mana and Boungou. The $57 million spent in Q1-2021 represents 28% of the FY-2021 guided amount of $201 million, with expenditures expected to be more weighted towards H1-2021. Further details by asset are provided in the mine sections below.

6) The non-sustaining exploration capital spend decreased by $17 million over Q4-2020 and by $9 million over Q1-2020 to $6 million, as a greater portion of the spend was classified as expensed. Exploration drilling is expected to ramp-up in Q2-2021 to take advantage of the dry season.
7) Q1-2021 includes $19.6 million for the purchase of an additional stake in the Fetekro property as announced on December 21, 2020, $0.5 million for the Sabodala-Massawa expansion project and $2.8 million on Kalana.
8) The tables below summarize the Q1-2021 working capital movements.

14) Other financing cash flows include the proceeds from the private placement of $200 million, dividends paid in the quarter of $60 million, and the net draw down of the corporate loan facilities of $47 million after the repayment of the debt facilities acquired from Teranga. Further notes are provided in Note 21 below.

15) Cash flows from discontinued operations relate to the Agbaou mine which was sold on March 1, 2021. The cash outflows in Q1-2021 relate to the payment of a dividend to the minority shareholder which was declared in December 2020.

NET CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY SOURCES

Endeavour's balance sheet remains healthy with Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA (LTM) of 0.16x at quarter-end, with a Net Debt balance of $162 million despite absorbing approximately $332 million of Net Debt from Teranga.
Along with the completion of the Teranga acquisition on February 10, 2021, Endeavour closed a $800 million corporate loan facility refinancing. The refinancing proceeds were used to retire Teranga’s various higher cost debt facilities amounting to $359 million and to settle Teranga’s gold off-take agreement for an amount of $50 million.

NOTES:

19) Operating cash flows after changes in working capital were $198 million in Q1-2021 compared to $364 million and $126 million in the comparative periods of Q4-2020 and Q1-2020 respectively. Q1-2021 decreased by $166 million compared to Q4-2020 mainly due to a lower realized gold price and the outflow in working capital as significant payments were made to suppliers of the Wahgnion and Sabodala-Massawa mines. Q1-2021 has increased by $72 million relative to Q1-2020 due to increased production for the year from the Company’s existing mines, as well as from the Wahgnion, Sabodala-Massawa, Mana and Boungou mines, at higher realized gold prices.

20) Cash flows used by investing activities were $105 million in Q1-2021 compared to $97 million and $57 million in Q4-2020 and Q1-2020 respectively. The Q1-2021 amount has increased relative to Q4-2020 mainly due to expenditure on mining interests of $114 million, and an increase in long term inventory of $14 million. The increase was offset by cash acquired on acquisition of Teranga of $27 million and cash outflows on the disposal of the Agbaou mine net of proceeds received, of $5 million.

21) Cash flows generated from financing activities were $65 million in Q1-2021 compared to cash outflows of $80 million in Q4-2020 and cash generated from financing activities of $100 million in Q1-2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company received additional funds of $200 million following the completion of the La Mancha investment. The Company drew down $490 million on the corporate loan facilities and repaid $443 million of the debt acquired upon the acquisition of Teranga during the same period. The Company also paid out dividends amounting to $60 million. Other significant payments during the period were the settlement of the gold offtake agreement which was acquired from Teranga amounting to $50 million as well as repayment of lease obligations of $11 million.

22) At quarter-end, Endeavour’s liquidity remained strong with $868 million of cash on hand and $100 million undrawn of the RCF.

23) The equipment finance lease obligations were repaid in full during FY-2020.

24) In 2018, Endeavour issued a $330 million convertible note, maturing in February 2023.

25) Endeavour's corporate loan facility was increased from $430 million to $800 million in Q1-2021 to retire Teranga’s various higher cost debt facilities. At quarter-end $700 million was drawn on the facility.

26) Net Debt amounted to $162 million at quarter-end, marking a Net Debt increase of $236 million compared to the beginning of the year due to the increase in gross debt as a result of acquiring Teranga.

27) The Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA (LTM) ratio ended the quarter at a healthy 0.16x. Despite the increase in gross debt as a result of the Teranga acquisition, the ratio has improved by 85% from the corresponding period last year when the ratio stood at 1.06x times.

OPERATING CASH FLOW PER SHARE

• Operating cash flow before non-cash working capital from continuing operations amounted to $1.28 per share in Q1-2021, marking an increase of $0.41 per share compared to Q1-2020, due primarily to the increase in production and the higher realized gold price. It also represents a decrease of $0.55 per share over Q4-2020, despite higher production due to a lower realized gold price, higher total cash costs per ounce and income taxes paid.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

• Total Net Earnings from continuing operations amounted to $0.50 per share in Q1-2021, marking an increase of $0.26 per share compared to Q1-2020, due primarily to the increase in production and the higher realized gold price. It also represents a decrease of $0.50 per share over Q4-2020, despite higher production due to a lower realized gold price, higher total cash costs per ounce, higher income taxes paid and a larger portion of earnings attributable to NCI.
• Adjustments made in Q1-2021 relate mainly to gain on financial instruments, adjustments related to non-cash depreciation of inventory associated with the fair value adjustment on the purchase price allocation of SEMAFO and Teranga, loss on discontinued operations, deferred income tax, share based compensation, non-recurring items and acquisition and restructuring costs.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements”, including but not limited to, statements with respect to Endeavour's plans and operating performance, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of future production, future capital expenditures, the success of exploration activities, the declaration, payment and sustainability of Endeavour’s dividends, the completion of studies, mine life and any potential extensions, the future price of gold, the share buyback program, and the expected timing of a premium listing on the LSE. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expects", "expected", "budgeted", "forecasts", "anticipates", believes”, “plan”, “target”, “opportunities”, “objective”, “assume”, “intention”, “goal”, “continue”, “estimate”, “potential”, “strategy”, “future”, “aim”, “may”, “will”, “can”, “could”, “would” and similar expressions .

Forward-looking statements, while based on management's reasonable estimates, projections and assumptions at the date the statements are made, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to the successful integration of acquisitions or completion of divestitures; risks related to international operations; risks related to general economic conditions and the impact of credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; Endeavour’s financial results, cash flows and future prospects being consistent with Endeavour expectations in amounts sufficient to permit sustained dividend payments; the completion of studies on the timelines currently expected, and the results of those studies being consistent with Endeavour’s current expectations; actual results of current exploration activities; production and cost of sales forecasts for Endeavour meeting expectations; unanticipated reclamation expenses; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; fluctuations in prices of metals including gold; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; increases in market prices of mining consumables; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; extreme weather events, natural disasters, supply disruptions, power disruptions, accidents, pit wall slides, labour disputes, title disputes, claims and limitations on insurance coverage and other risks of the mining industry; delays in the completion of development or construction activities; changes in national and local government legislation, regulation of mining operations, tax rules and regulations and changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices in the jurisdictions in which Endeavour operates; disputes, litigation, regulatory proceedings and audits; adverse political and economic developments in countries in which Endeavour operates, including but not limited to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage, civil disturbances, non-renewal of key licenses by government authorities, or the expropriation or nationalization of any of Endeavour’s property; risks associated with illegal and artisanal mining; environmental hazards; and risks associated with new diseases, epidemics and pandemics, including the effects and potential effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Although Endeavour has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Please refer to Endeavour's most recent Annual Information Form filed under its profile at www.sedar.com for further information respecting the risks affecting Endeavour and its business.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Some of the indicators used by Endeavour in this press release represent non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are presented as they can provide useful information to assist investors with their evaluation of the pro forma performance. Since the non-IFRS performance measures presented in the below sections do not have any standardized definition prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they 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 IFRS. The non-IFRS financial performance measures are defined below and reconciled to reported IFRS measures.

Endeavour believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors may find that the total cash cost per ounce sold provided useful information to assist investors with their evaluation of performance and ability to generate cash flow from its operations.

All-in sustaining cost represents the total cash cost plus sustainable capital expenditures and stripping costs presented per ounce sold. Endeavour believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors may find that the all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold better meets their needs by assessing its operating performance and its ability to generate free cash flow.
