Financial Statements Release

January – December 2024

Financial Statements Release January - December 2024, strong growth continued in H2 with 74 % increase in revenue and Pampalo EBITDA reaching 40 %

The figures in parentheses refer to the corresponding period in 2023 unless otherwise stated.

H2-2024 in brief

  • The group's revenue increased by 74 % and was MEUR 15.6 (MEUR 9.0)
  • The group's EBITDA was MEUR 3.9 (MEUR -1.0)
  • The Pampalo production segment's EBITDA was MEUR 6.3 (MEUR 0.9), or 40 % of revenue (10 %)
  • The group's operating result was MEUR 2.5 (MEUR -2.2)
  • The group's net result was MEUR 1.3 (MEUR -3.5)
  • Gold production in July-December increased by 20.7 % and was 226.6 kg (187.8 kg), or 7,285 ounces (6,038 ounces)
  • In July 2024, Endomines reported the results of the base of till sampling program implemented in the Southern Gold Line in 2023– 2024. Several significant gold anomalous areas were identified in the area. Gold concentrations in base of till samples indicate gold concentrations in the bedrock and are used to guide exploration drilling. Samples were taken from completely untested areas in the immediate vicinity of known deposits, indicating that it is possible to grow known deposits much larger than their current size.
  • In July 2024, Endomines reported high-grade exploration results from Korvilansuo, Southern Gold Line. All drill holes drilled in 2024 exceeded the lower cut-off concentration of 0.4 g/t gold used in reporting. The drilling campaign confirmed the expansion of Korvilansuo to the north.
  • In July 2024, Endomines reached its production capacity to drive production periodically at a production level of 20,000 ounces. During 2024, the goal has been to periodically drive production at that level and thus ensure the functionality of production at a higher production level.
  • In August 2024, Endomines reported high-grade exploration results from Kartitsa, Northern Gold Line. The discovery of high-grade, near-surface gold mineralized zones north of the Kartitsa mineralization supports further exploration opportunities in the area.
  • In September 2024, Endomines reported on the results of exploration in Hosko, started drilling in Kartitsa and expanded the mining operations of the Hosko production area underground.
  • In October 2024, Endomines received confirmation from the US authorities for its Small Miners Exemption (SMES) application in the Montana US Grant mining area. SMES enables exploration in the gold and silver mining area of the US Grant and is an important part of permitting aimed at production.
  • In November 2024, Endomines lowered the production guidelines for 2024. In the new guidelines, gold production was estimated to increase by 8-15 % compared to 2023.
  • In November 2024, Endomines reported excellent gold discoveries from Kartitsa, Northern Gold Line. The results confirm the exceptional gold potential of the area. The results suggest a long and continuous gold-bearing zone. In addition, mineralization is still open to the north, south and depth.
  • In December 2024, Endomines received exchange notices related to convertible loans, based on which a total of 7,356,603.47 euros were exchanged for new Endomines Finland Plc shares. As a result of the exchanges, 1,034,690 new Endomines Finland Plc shares were registered and issued. On 20.12.2024 Endomines received the flagging notifications in accordance with Chapter 9 §5 and §6 of the Securities Market Act: Joensuun Kauppa ja Kone Ltd / Kyösti Kakkonen / Kakkonen-Yhtiöt Ltd / K22 Finance Ltd's share of Endomines Finland Plc's shares and votes fell below 25 % flagging limit, Mariatorp Ltd's share of Endomines Finland Plc's shares and votes exceeded the 10 % flagging limit, and Wipunen Varainhallinta Ltd's share of Endomines Finland Plc's shares and votes exceeded the 10 % flagging limit.

CEO Kari Vyhtinen

The year 2024 was a time of significant change for us. The effects of the strategic changes and favorable gold market were reflected in our strong July-December result. In July-December, our revenue grew by an impressive 74 %, and the EBITDA of the Pampalo's production segment rose to 40 % (10 %) of revenue. The group's operating profit climbed to 16 % (-24 %), and the group's net profit exceeded 8 % (-39 %) of revenue.

Additionally, we strengthened the company's balance sheet, and our net interest-bearing debt decreased by 26 % in July-December compared to the January-June reporting period of 2024. Our production volumes increased by 20.7 % in July-December compared to the comparison period. Our goal is to increase our production volumes every year. I am extremely pleased with our strong results and the changes achieved in all areas of our business.

The entire year 2024 reflects significant changes on all strategic fronts. Our financial performance turned positive, and our revenue grew for the second consecutive year by 46 %, reaching MEUR 28.7 (MEUR 19.7). The group's EBITDA was MEUR 5.8 (MEUR -0.7), which corresponds to 20 % of revenue, and our net profit was positive. The EBITDA of the Pampalo production segment was MEUR 10.3 (MEUR 3.3), or 36 % (17 %) of revenue. The unit cost per ounce excluding investments was 1,281 EUR/ounce (1,278 EUR/ounce). The change has been immense, and the journey to this point has been eventful. Two years ago, the Endomines Group's EBITDA was MEUR -6.4, and our net profit was MEUR -17.5 in the red. It is great to see the impact of our strategic actions on the company's results.

From 2022 to 2024, we focused on laying the foundation for our business. Now, we are entering a new phase where our focus is on bringing new areas into production and growing the company to a significantly larger scale. Our long-term goal is to increase our production level from the current annual output of over 14,300 ounces to 70,000–100,000 ounces, estimated in the year 2030. In this new phase, we will focus on the technical and economic planning of a new production facility and the actions required by the permitting processes. At the same time, we will continue to develop our current production and conduct extensive exploration to increase our gold resources.

Our exploration efforts in 2024 focused on the Southern and Northern Gold Lines. We achieved excellent results both in the Kuittila-Korvilansuo axis in the south and in Kartitsa in the north. High concentrations of tungsten and molybdenum were also found in the Kuittila area. Tungsten is one of the 14 critical raw materials of the European Union, and Endomines plans to apply for the status of a critical minerals producer in 2025. This status could open opportunities for new financing channels and an accelerated permitting process. In 2024, we also conducted environmental studies and an environmental impact assessment program in the Southern Gold Line area. We plan to submit the program for review in the spring of 2025. According to our estimate, the environmental permit decision could be realized by 2028.

The Kartitsa area is a relatively new exploration target for us. We conducted the first large-scale exploration drilling in Kartitsa in the summer and autumn of 2024. We identified a high-grade gold deposit in the area, which appears to be extensive and significant in scale. In 2025, our strategic exploration efforts will focus specifically on Kartitsa and the Southern Gold Line in Kuittila and Korvilansuo. Additionally, we will conduct the first exploratory drillings in the Ukkolanvaara area. We collected bedrock samples in the area in 2024 which indicate high gold potential in this yet unexplored area.

We still hold rights to seven gold deposits in the United States. The operations in the United States are not part of our strategic focus areas, and a simpler company structure would bring us significant cost savings. We actively continue to negotiate partnerships in the United States and aim to find a solution as quickly as possible. The direct operational impact of the United States on Endomines' EBITDA was approximately MEUR -0.7 (MEUR -1.0) in 2024.

Sustainability is a core part of Endomines' strategy and firmly at the heart of our operations. We strive to be a partner that acts responsibly, respects biodiversity, keeps its promises, and treats people well. We aim to be a clear leader in setting and achieving sustainability goals. In 2024, we published our first sustainability report. Additionally, we conducted a Double Materiality Assessment, which served as the basis for updating our sustainability program. The focus of our new sustainability program includes carbon-free gold, clean water, biodiversity conservation, employee safety and well-being, community trust, and promoting ethical practices in governance. Our goal is to reflect on our actions with pride for years to come.

We enter 2025 with a positive outlook. We believe in the benefits of growing production and in the strong gold market. The price of gold is particularly influenced by global geopolitical uncertainty. Unfortunately, we live in a world where the rivalry between superpowers leads to ongoing uncertainty. The future price outlook for gold is very positive, and its price is currently clearly above the average price of 2,402 USD/oz in 2024. Finnish gold production is also supported by a strong dollar: in euros, the price of gold has been reaching new records in early 2025.

I want to thank our employees for their excellent work. I also want to thank our shareholders, partners, and all our stakeholders for the incredible journey that enabled the company's positive turnaround in 2024. We have achieved a lot, but the journey is not over – we will continue at the same speed towards 2026.

Kari Vyhtinen, CEO

Outlook for the financial year 2025

We estimate gold production to be between 16,000 and 22,000 oz (497.7 kg - 684.3 kg). In 2024, Endomines produced 14,304 ounces (444.9 kg) of gold. Production growth is estimated to be greater during H2-2025.

Dividend

The board of directors proposes that the loss of EUR -2,022,283.77 for the financial year ending on December 31, 2024 be transferred to the profit/loss account of the previous financial years, and no dividend will be distributed.

Operational environment and business risks

The rise in the price of gold and the strong US dollar have had a positive effect on Endomines' operating environment. The average price of gold in 2024 was USD 2,402/oz, with a peak of USD 2,690/oz in October 2024. The July-December average was 2,599 USD/oz. The euro against the US dollar averaged 1.09 at the beginning of 2024 and 1.05 on average in December 2024. The dollar was at its weakest in September 2024 with an average exchange rate of 1.11. The price of gold and the US dollar have a direct impact on Endomines' revenue and cash flow, and their development is closely monitored. In accordance with the principle of prudence, Endomines uses conservative forecasts for the development of the gold price in its internal calculations.

In 2024, Endomines signed a new sales agreement with K.A. Rasmussen AS. The agreement is long-term and covers the entire sale of Endomines Pampalo's gravimetric gold (high grade, pure gold product) production. During the year 2024, 2.0 kg of gravimetric gold has been produced. Most of Endomines' production is gold concentrate and it will continue to be sold to Boliden Commercials AB.

In Finland, inflation is predicted to remain moderate in 2025. During 2024, measures related to production efficiency have been taken to reduce unit costs. During autumn and winter, energy costs have not risen to the level of previous years. The war in Ukraine and its effects on the general market situation, as well as other unrest and political changes and their effects on the general market situation, may affect Endomines' operations and finances.

Pampalo production forms the basis of Endomines' business, and measures to raise the production level are constantly being taken. The production plans are based on the co-operation of experts from different fields, the technical and safety committee, the management team and contractors. During 2024, Endomines succeeded in implementing the plans, which can be seen in the increase in production volumes. Endomines' experts are experienced professionals and contractors are the best players in their field. An interruption or delay in operations would directly affect Endomines' revenue and cash flow.

In accordance with Endomines' strategy, a significant investment is made annually in exploration to increase gold resources. Endomines' experienced experts, together with the exploration steering group and the management team, plan annual exploration-related measures to achieve the goals. Exploration is by its nature uncertain and involves financial risk-taking. During 2024, Endomines carried out exploration according to plans and achieved significant results. Production activities and exploration are dependent on permits and rights. The operation is subject to environmental risks and environmental requirements, which are duly considered. Endomines has an up-to-date environmental restoration plan.

Calculation formulas for key figures

Interest-bearing net liabilities = interest-bearing liabilities - liquid cash assets

EBITDA = operating result + depreciation and impairment losses

EBITDA % = 100 * EBITDA / revenue

Operating result = revenue + other operating income + change in the inventory of finished goods and work in progress - materials, supplies, and external services - expenses arising from employee benefits - other operating expenses - depreciation and impairment losses

Operating result % = 100 * operating result / revenue

Net gearing ratio-% = 100 * (interest-bearing liabilities - liquid cash assets) / equity

Equity ratio-% = 100 * equity / (adjusted balance sheet total - advance payments based on work performed)

Cash Cost in Pampalo, excl. investments = (Pampalo production segment materials, supplies, and external services + Pampalo production segment expenses arising from employee benefits + Pampalo production segment other operating expenses) / gold production in ounces during reporting period

*According to the IAS 33 Earnings per share -standard, the result adjusted for the dilution effect must not strengthen the earnings per share for the presented period.

Notes

1. Accounting principles

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) approved by the EU. The financial statement release for period 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the financial statement release mainly follows the same accounting principles as the financial statements 31 December 2023. Changes in accounting estimates are disclosed in the following paragraph. The figures presented in the release are unaudited. The financial statement release is presented in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. All figures presented are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum presented.

2. Changes in accounting estimates

In August 2024, the board of Endomines approved an updated long-term production plan for its existing mines. Due to the updated estimates in the long-term production plan, the economic life of the mines changed. According to the updated management estimates, the economic life of the Pampalo mine is now expected to extend until 2032, instead of the previous estimate of the end of 2030. The management's estimate of the economic life of the Hosko mine was extended from the end of 2026 to the end of 2028. Endomines updated the depreciation plan for the Pampalo and Hosko mine starting from January 1, 2024, non-retroactively, in accordance with the long-term production plan. The depreciation was updated for the review period from July 1 to December 31, 2024, including the first half of the year from January 1 to June 30, 2024. These changes affected the amount of depreciation recorded for the period from July 1 to December 31, 2024, reducing it by 0.3 million euros.

3. Implementation of new and revised accounting standards

Endomines have applied the amendments and annual improvements to the IFRS standards that came into effect on January 1, 2024. The amendments and annual improvements to the standards have not had a significant impact on the reported figures.

As of January 1, 2024, Endomines applies the changes published in the IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements -standard in October 2022 regarding the classification of liabilities into short-term and long-term liabilities. The changes clarify the classification of convertible bonds as short-term and long-term, when the option to convert convertible bond into an equity-based instrument does not form an equity component according to the IAS 32 standard. When the convertible bond can be settled, i.e. exchanged for equity instruments, within the next 12 months from the end of the reporting period, the convertible bond is classified as short-term liabilities, even if its actual maturity date is more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Endomines applies the changes to the IAS 1 standard retroactively in accordance with the transition regulations. The changes that came into force have no effect on the figures reported from 1 January to 30 June 2023. The classification changes for the figures from 1 January to 31 December 2023 are presented in the table on next pages, the changes have no effect on the consolidated income statement, change in equity statement or cash flow statement.

6. Share-based payments

In November 2023 the board of directions approved performance-based share bonus program for its key employees for the years 2024-2026. Performance-based share bonus program consists of one-year earning period and two-year commitment period. Bonus is granted in Endomines shares including taxes and tax-related payments. The criteria for earning the bonus are employment condition and the total return on the share. The starting level of the share price is 8.00 euros, and the maximum level is 16.00 euros. The fair value of the share bonus program has been determined by modeling the stock price with a Monte Carlo simulation. The earning period ended on 31.12.2024. At the end of the earning period, the predefined performance targets were not met, and no payable reward was accrued from the program. At the grant date 23 employees are covered by the program and at the year-end 21 employees was included in the program. The impact of share-based payments on the financial result for the fiscal year 2024 was 0 EUR.

The maximum royalty liability under the agreement is MEUR 1.5.

12. The most significant risks and risk management

The group is exposed to various financial risks through its operations, including market risk (comprising currency risk and price risk), credit and counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow risk. At the end of the reporting period, Endomines had only entered into fixed-rate financing agreements, and therefore, there is no risk related to changes in loan interest rates affecting cash flows.

Market risk

The demand for produced gold in international markets affects the group's profitability.

Currency risk

The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risks related to the EUR/USD exchange rate. All production invoicing is denominated in USD, while production costs and intra-group financing are denominated in both EUR and USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from transaction risk related to contractual items and translation risk related to the conversion of the foreign subsidiary's financial statements into euros. As of the balance sheet date, no foreign exchange hedging agreements were in place. The intra-group foreign currencydenominated loan between Endomines Finland Plc and Endomines Idaho LLC is considered a net investment in a foreign entity.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the uncertainty in earnings, the balance sheet, and cash flow caused by changes in interest rates. As of the balance sheet date, Endomines had only entered into fixed-rate financing agreements.

Price risk

The group is exposed to price risk primarily through fluctuations in the price of gold. The price of gold is determined daily by the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association). The Company's exposure to price fluctuations can be partially mitigated through gold price hedging agreements. As of the balance sheet date, no hedging agreements were in place. The selection of counterparties for financial instruments has been based on management's assessment of their reliability.

Credit risk

Credit and counterparty risk refers to the risk that a counterparty to a transaction is unable to fulfill its obligations, thereby causing a loss to Endomines. In Endomines' case, credit and counterparty risk is primarily influenced by cash assets and credit exposures related to customers, including outstanding receivables and contractual transactions. To mitigate this risk, Endomines only engages with counterparties that have a high credit rating. The Group's counterparties for cash assets are Nordea bank in Finland and a PlainsCapital Bank in the United States. Over the past two years, the group has had only two customers: Boliden Commercial AB for flotation concentrate and K.A. Rasmussen AS for gravimetric concentrate. Management has no reason to expect credit losses due to counterparty insolvency. Based on management's judgment, Endomines has not recognized any expected credit losses.

The payment terms for trade receivables are as follows: the provisional invoice is due on the 20th calendar day of the month following the delivery month, and the final invoice is due five business days after the invoice is issued.

Liquidity risk

The company regularly assesses and monitors the adequacy of its liquidity. The evaluation of financing needs is based on an annual budget, a monthly updated financial forecast, a production forecast, and up-to-date cash flow planning. In January 2025 Endomines entered into a financing arrangement with its current owners for a total amount of up to 2.3 million euros to cover preparatory work related to its strategy and other business needs. Endomines plans to secure a larger financing package, approximately eight million euros, in the spring of 2025. The purpose of the planned financing is to enable growth-oriented activities during the period from 2025 to 2026. According to management's best estimate, the anticipated financing needs for the fiscal year 2025 will be covered by committed and pending financing, as well as internal cash flows from production.

Capital management

The group's capital management objective is to ensure the normal operating conditions for the business, maintain an optimal capital structure, and minimize the cost of capital. The capital structure is primarily influenced by directing investments and the amount of working capital tied up in the business. The group's capital structure is monitored, among other things, through the net debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated by dividing net interest-bearing debt by equity.

Environment and permits

The company's operations are dependent on exploration, mining, and environmental permits, as well as other licenses and rights. The operations are subject to environmental risks and regulatory requirements.
