Founded in 1891 in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, it has evolved from a single-district silver producer to a multi-asset operator with operations across North America. The company's core business involves exploring, developing, and extracting silver, gold, lead, and zinc from its wholly-owned mines, including the Greens Creek mine in Alaska, Lucky Friday in Idaho, Casa Berardi in Quebec, San Sebastian in Mexico, and several mines in Nevada. Hecla produces concentrates and doré bars sold to smelters and traders. As the largest primary silver producer in the U.S., Hecla plays a critical role in the supply of this industrial and precious metal, which is essential for solar panels, electronics, and medical applications. The company is committed to safe and sustainable mining practices, with a focus on innovation and environmental stewardship. Financially, Hecla has a strong balance sheet with a market cap around $11.3 billion, a low debt-to-equity ratio, and a healthy liquidity position.

Financial Statements of HL

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$1.4B	+53.0%	-18.9%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$321.7M	+798.6%	+718.8%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+43.7%	+105.1%	+5.4%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+37.7%	+230.0%	-21.1%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	+22.6%	+487.2%	+862.6%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$310.2M	+8096.8%	-12.4%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+21.8%	+5256.5%	+8.0%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	10.6%	-60.6%	-95.4%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	2.72x	+151.1%	+5.2%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$3.6B	+19.4%	-5.7%

Q2 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to the Q2 2026 Hecla Mining Company Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I will now hand the conference over to Mike Parkin, Vice President of Strategy and Investor Relations. Mike, please go ahead. Michael Parkin: Thanks, Hilary. Good morning, and thank you all for joining us for Hecla's second quarter 2026 results conference call. I'm Mike Parkin, Vice President of Strategy and Investor Relations. Our earnings release that was issued yesterday along with today's presentation are available on our website. On the call with us today is Rob Krcmarov, President and Chief Executive Officer; Russell Lawlar, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Carlos Aguiar, Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer; Brian Erickson, Vice President of Operations; Kurt Allen, Vice President of Exploration, along with other members of our management team. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will be able -- we will be available for -- to answer any questions you might have. Turning to Slide 2. Any forward-looking statements made today by the management team come under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and involve risks as shown on this slide in our earnings release and in our 10-Q filing with the SEC. These and other risks could cause results to differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP measures cited in this call and related slides are reconciled in the slides or news release. Please note, as we discuss the financial figures and projections throughout this presentation and in the earnings release, we are referring to our continuing operations. I will now pass the call over to Rob. Robert Krcmarov: Thank you, Mike, and good morning, everyone. Turning to Slide 3. Hecla ended the third (sic) [ second ] quarter of 2026 from a position of real strength. And I'm speaking to the financial strength, a position today that marks the strongest balance sheet in the company's very long history. And the attributes shown on this slide that define us as North America's premier silver producers, they haven't changed. What has changed, though, is that we have confidence with which we can now invest in what comes next. So I'm eager to have our teams discuss some remarkable developments that are coming out of our substantial project pipeline, which further solidifies our market positioning. More on that in a minute. Turning to Slide 4. This was another very strong quarter for Hecla, even though a couple of headline numbers moved in a different direction than last quarter. And I want to spend a moment walking through why because I think the underlying story here is a good one. Revenue from continuing operations was $334 million compared to the record $411 million we reported in the first quarter. Two things are driving that change, and it's worth being clear about both because neither of them is a production problem. First, metal prices …
