FULL DISCLOSURE: This is sponsored content for First Majestic Silver Corp.

First Majestic Silver (TSX: AG) (NYSE: AG) has continued to see its revenue profile improve on a sequential basis, thanks in part to the rising price of precious metals. The company reported its third quarter financial results this morning, headlined by topline revenues of $146.1 million, a 10% increase on a year over year basis, and a 7% sequential improvement.

The increase in revenue was off the back of producing 5.5 million silver equivalent ounces in the third quarter, a 4% sequential increase. Production consisted of 2.0 million silver ounces and a further 41,761 gold ounces.

Cash flow from operations also improved, hitting $39.8 million in Q3, versus $14.1 million in the year ago period, which First Majestic said was a result of lower general and administrative expenses and restructuring costs, and an improvement in mine operating earnings. Free cash flow meanwhile improved to $31.3 million, versus $6.4 million in both the second quarter and Q3 2023.

All in sustaining costs for the third quarter came in at $21.03 an ounce, a 3% decline from the $21.64 per ounce cost recorded in the second quarter. Average realized price per silver equivalent ounce meanwhile continued to rise, climbing from $27.81 an ounce in Q2 to $29.84 an ounce in the third quarter.

Mine operating earnings in the third quarter improved to $28.5 million, an 84% sequential increase from $15.5 million in Q2. The substantial increase was attributed to First Majestic’s Santa Elena operations, where operating earnings improved 67%, driven by higher average realized silver prices.

EBITDA during the quarter also improved, hitting $36.9 million, a 71% sequential improvement over the $21.6 million figure recorded in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA meanwhile amounted to $39.8 million, a 49% sequential improvement over the $26.8 million reported in the second quarter, which was attributed to improved operating earnings and lower restructuring costs.

On the balance sheet side of things, cash and cash equivalents improved to $154.7 million, versus $152.7 million as of the end of the second quarter, while working capital improved to $238.2 million. A $0.0048 per share dividend meanwhile was declared for the third quarter for shareholders of record as of November 15.

The third quarter also saw the company enter a transaction to acquire Gatos Silver (NYSE: GATOS) in a transaction valued at $970 million. The acquisition, on a pro-forma basis, is expected to push annual production to 30-32 million silver equivalent ounces for First Majestic.

First Majestic Silver last traded at $9.13 on the TSX.
