2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR'). In addition to preparing interim financial statements in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", the Company has also applied International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and UK adopted international accounting standards, and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements prepared using IFRS . These interim financial statements represent a 'condensed set of financial statements' as referred to in the DTR. The annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("annual financial statements") were prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
These interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board on 1 May 2024. The interim financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's operations, financial performance, and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies were presented as note 2 to the annual financial statements and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2023 in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts for that year. The statutory accounts for 31 December 2023 were delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
None of the new standards or amendments to standards and interpretations applicable during the period has had a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that was issued but is not yet effective.
b. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company's accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods in the preparation of these interim financial statements. In preparing the Company's interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2024, the Company consistently applied the critical judgments and estimates as disclosed in note 3 of its annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company, which is defined as having the power over the entity, rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of returns. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
The Company's subsidiaries at 31 March 2024 are consistent with the subsidiaries as at 31 December 2023 as disclosed in note 22 to the annual financial statements, except for Taurus Gold Afema Gold Holdings Ltd, Afema Gold SA and Tauraus Gold SARL which were sold to Turaco Gold Limited during the period.

c. GOING CONCERN
The Board of Directors have performed an assessment of whether the Company and Group would be able to continue as a going concern until at least May 2025. In their assessment, the Group has taken into account its financial position, expected future trading performance, its debt and other available credit facilities, future debt servicing requirements, its working capital and capital expenditure commitments and forecasts.
At 31 March 2024, the Group's net debt position was \$830.5 million, calculated as the difference between the current and non-current portion of long-term debt with a principal outstanding of \$1,291.5 million and cash of \$461.0 million. The Group had current assets of \$1,106.9 million and current liabilities of \$585.9 million representing a total working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) of \$521.0 million as at 31 March 2024. Cash flows from continuing operating activities for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were inflows of \$55.1 million.
Based on a detailed cash flow forecast prepared by management, in which it included any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the cash flow forecast is based, the Board of Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence until at least May 2025 and that at this point in time there are no material uncertainties regarding going concern. Key assumptions underpinning this forecast include consensus analyst gold prices, production volumes in line with annual guidance and the timing and quantum of upstream dividends.
The Board of Directors is satisfied that the going concern basis of accounting is an appropriate assumption to adopt in the preparation of the interim financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 March 2024.
3 DIVESTITURES
a. DIVESTITURE OF BOUNGOU AND WAHGNION
On 30 June 2023, the Group completed the sale of its 90% interest in the Boungou and Wahgnion cash-generating units ("the disposal group") to Lilium Mining ("Lilium"). The total consideration upon sale of the disposal group included (i) \$133.1 million cash consideration to be received by 31 July 2023; (ii) \$25.0 million in deferred cash consideration payable in two instalments of \$10.0 million and \$15.0 million by the end of Q4-2023 and the end of Q1-2024, respectively; (iii) deferred cash consideration comprised of 50% of the net free cash flow generated by the Boungou mine until \$55.0 million has been paid, which was expected to occur by Q4-2024 based on the gold price environment and mine plan at the time of the divestiture; (iv) a net smelter royalty ("NSR") on Boungou commencing immediately for 4% of gold sold; and (v) a NSR on Wahgnion commencing immediately for 4% of gold sold.
The fair value of the various aspects of the consideration at the transaction closing date were as follows (all of which, except for the cash and the \$25.0 million in deferred cash consideration which is not linked to the net free cash flow generated, are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements):
- The fair value of the cash consideration receivable by 31 July 2023 was determined to be \$133.1 million and \$33.6 million was received by 31 December 2023.
- The fair value of deferred cash consideration payable in two instalments by Q4-2023 and Q1-2024, respectively, was determined to be \$23.9 million.
- The fair value of the deferred cash consideration, payable on a quarterly basis, based on net free cash flow generated at the Boungou mine, was determined using a discounted cash flow, which resulted in a fair value of \$50.8 million.
- The fair value of the NSR was estimated using probability-weighted scenarios with respect to discounted cash flow models for future production that might exceed the Boungou and Wahgnion reserves at 1 January 2023. Based on the various scenarios considered, the fair value of the NSR was \$77.4 million.
At 31 March 2024, the carrying amounts of the cash consideration and deferred cash consideration payable, which are included in consideration receivable (note 8), were \$81.4 million and \$20.6 million, respectively (31 December 2023 - \$85.4 million and \$21.0 million respectively). Due to the amounts payable being past due, the Group has recognised a provision for expected credit losses of \$18.0 million (31 December 2023 - \$18.7 million).

(EXPRESSED IN MILLIONS OF UNITED STATES DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
At 31 March 2024, the fair values of the deferred cash consideration and the NSR, which are included in other financial assets (note 11) were \$46.1 million and \$48.6 million, respectively (31 December 2023 - \$47.9 million and \$49.3 million respectively). For the three months ended 31 March 2024, \$1.4 million was accrued to be invoiced to Lilium and transferred to trade and other receivables and remained outstanding as at 31 March 2024. For the full year of 2023, \$5.5 million of the NSR was invoiced to Lilium and transferred to trade and other receivables and \$3.3 million was received. The total balance outstanding as at 31 March 2024 within trade and other receivables is \$3.4 million, net of expected credit losses (31 December 2023 - \$2.2 million).
The Group recognised a loss on disposal of \$177.8 million, net of tax, calculated as follows:
| At 30 June 2023 |
|
|---|---|
| Cash consideration | 133.1 |
| Deferred cash consideration | 23.9 |

b. DIVESTITURE OF KARMA
On 10 March 2022, the Group completed the sale of its 90% interest in the Karma mine cash-generating unit ("CGU") to Néré Mining SA ("Néré"). The total consideration of \$20.0 million upon sale of the Karma mine included (i) a deferred cash payment of \$5.0 million to be paid six months after closing of the transaction subject to certain conditions being met; (ii) a contingent payment of up to \$10.0 million payable twelve months after closing, based on a sliding scale, linked to the average gold price; and (iii) a 2.5% NSR on all ounces produced by the Karma mine in excess of 160,000 ounces of recovered gold from 1 January 2022.
At 31 March 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was unchanged at \$5.0 million (note 8), the fair value of the NSR was \$6.6 million (31 December 2023 - \$6.6 million) (note 11) and the fair value of the deferred cash consideration, net of expected credit losses was nil (31 December 2023 - nil).
Refer to the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 in relation to related party transaction disclosure concerning the former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr de Montessus and One Continent Investments Limited ("OCI"), a 49% shareholder in Néré contained in note 22.

d. DEFERRED SHARE UNITS
The Group established a deferred share unit plan ("DSU") for the purposes of strengthening the alignment of interests between Non-Executive Directors of the Company and shareholders by linking a portion of the annual Director compensation to the future value of the Company's common shares. Upon establishing the DSU plan for Non-Executive Directors, the Company no longer grants options to Non-Executive Directors.
The DSU plan allows each Non-Executive Director to choose to receive, in the form of DSUs, all or a percentage of their Director's fees, which would otherwise be payable in cash. Compensation for serving on committees must be paid in the form of DSUs. The plan also provides for discretionary grants of additional DSUs by the Board. Each DSU vests upon award but is distributed only when the Director has ceased to be a member of the Board. Vested units are settled in cash based on the common share price at the date of settlement.
The fair value of the DSUs is determined based on multiplying the five day volume weighted average share price of the Company by the number of DSUs at the end of the reporting period and is included in other financial liabilities (note 13).
e. PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
The Group's long-term incentive plan ("LTI Plan") includes a portion of performance-linked share unit awards ("PSUs"), intended to increase the pay mix in favour of long-term equity-based compensation with a three-year cliff-vesting period serving as an employee retention mechanism.
The fair value of the PSUs is determined based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to peer companies for 50% of the value of the PSUs, while the remaining 50% of the value of the PSUs granted is based on achieving certain operational performance measures. The vesting conditions related to the achievement of operational performance measures noted above are determined at the grant date and the number of units that are expected to vest is reassessed at each subsequent reporting period based on the estimated probability of reaching the operational targets. The key operational targets are determined annually and include:
- For 2024 PSU grants: 2026 targets relate to ESG and biodiversity targets (15%), project development (12.5%), exploration targets (12.5%), and net debt (10%).
- For 2023 PSU grants: 2025 targets relate to project development (12.5%), exploration targets (12.5%), net debt (10%), carbon emissions targets (7.5%) and ISO 14001 / ISO 45000 verification targets (7.5%).
- For 2022 PSU grants: 2024 targets relate to project development (12.5%), renewable energy (7.5%), implementation of tailings storage facilities (7.5%), net debt (10%) and exploration targets (12.5%).
2024 PSU grant was only granted during April 2024 and is not reflected in the outstanding PSUs as at 31 March 2024.
The fair value related to the TSR portion is determined using a multi-asset Monte Carlo simulation model using a dividend yield of 2.5% (2023 – 2.5%), as well as historical TSR levels and historical volatility of the constituents of the S&P TSX Global Gold Index (2023 – same). The expected volatility was determined taking into account historical volatility, as there was no available market data on implied volatility for PSUs with the same maturity. The historical volatility was measured over a three-year period, consistent with the PSUs maturity, from the commencement of the performance period.

| Total potential diluted common shares | 247,061,150 | 250,984,769 |
- At 31 March 2024, a total of 2,248,580 PSUs (3,908,397 at 31 March 2023) could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in diluted earnings per share as all vesting conditions have not been satisfied at the end of the reporting period. The potentially dilutive impact of the convertible senior notes are anti-dilutive for all periods presented and were not included in the diluted earnings per share.
g. DIVIDENDS
During the three months ended 31 March 2024, the Company announced and paid its second interim dividend for 2023 of \$0.41 per share totalling \$100.0 million to shareholders on record at the close of business 23 February 2024 and was included in cash flows from financing activities.
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company paid an interim 2023 dividend of \$0.40 per share (\$99.0 million) to shareholders on record at 1 September 2023, and paid a second interim 2022 dividend of \$0.41 per share (\$101.4 million) for shareholders on record at 24 February 2023. The total amount paid of \$200.4 million is included in cash flows from financing activities.

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF OTHER RESERVES
CAPITAL REDEMPTION RESERVE
The capital redemption reserve represents the cumulative nominal amount of shares cancelled, following the share buyback by the Company.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENT RESERVE
Share-based payment reserve represents the cumulative share-based payment expense for the Company's share option schemes net of amounts transferred to retained earnings on exercise or cancellation of instruments under the Company's share option scheme.

(EXPRESSED IN MILLIONS OF UNITED STATES DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
MERGER RESERVE

As at the date when the shareholders of EMC, the previous parent of the Group, had transferred all of their shares in EMC to Endeavour Mining plc in exchange for ordinary shares of equal value in Endeavour Mining plc (the "Reorganisation"), and less amounts cancelled and transferred to retained earnings on cancellation of the deferred shares.
6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS
a. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Group's financial instruments are classified as follows:
| Financial assets/ liabilities at amortised cost |
Financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss ('FVTPL') |
|
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | X | |
| Trade and other receivables | X | |
| Restricted cash | X | |
| Marketable securities | X | |
| Consideration receivable | X | |
| Other financial assets | X | X |
| Trade and other payables | X | |
| Other financial liabilities | X | X |
| Call-rights | X | |
| Contingent consideration | X | |
| Senior Notes | X | |
| Embedded derivative on Senior Notes | X | |
| Revolving credit facilities | X | |
| Derivative financial assets and liabilities | X | |
| Convertible Notes | X |
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted below, except for the Senior Notes which have a fair value of approximately \$475.5 million (31 December 2023 – \$463.9 million).
As noted above, the Group has certain financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques to measure fair value:
Classification of financial assets and liabilities
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

(EXPRESSED IN MILLIONS OF UNITED STATES DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
As at each of 31 March 2024 and 31 December 2023, the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Group's financial assets and liabilities measured and recognised in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position at fair value are categorised as follows:
| AS AT 31 MARCH 2024 | |||||

c. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK EXPOSURE
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of risks that may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, including equity price risk. The Group examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses any impact and likelihood of those risks. There have been no significant changes to the financial instrument risk exposure as disclosed in note 8 of its annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
d. MARKET RISKS
CURRENCY RISK
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group entered into foreign currency contracts ("foreign currency contracts") to protect a portion of the forecasted capital expenditures at the Lafigué and BIOX® projects (note 18) against foreign currency fluctuations. The foreign currency contracts represent forecast expenditures of Euro 5.5 million (31 December 2023: Euro 15.1 million) at a blended rate of 1USD:0.96EUR (31 December 2023: 1USD:0.96EUR), and AUD 2.4 million (31 December 2023: AUD 4.9 million) at a blended rate of 1USD:1.45AUD (31 December 2023: 1USD:1.4AUD). The foreign currency contracts were not designated as a hedge by the Group and are recorded at its fair value at the end of each reporting period.
As at 31 March 2024, the foreign currency contracts had a fair value of \$0.2 million of which \$0.2 million was recognised as a current financial asset (note 11). The total outstanding notional forward contracted quantum is approximately €5.5 million at a blended rate of 1.04 EUR:USD over 2024 and approximately AU\$2.4 million at a blended rate of 0.69 AUD:USD.
In the three months ended 31 March 2024, the Group recognised an unrealised loss of \$0.8 million due to the change in fair value of the foreign currency contracts and a realised gain of \$0.2 million upon settlement of foreign currency contracts during the period (three months ended 31 March 2023 - gain of \$1.3 million). The Company has not hedged any of its other exposure to foreign currency risks.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Commodity price risk relates to the risk that the fair values of the Group's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices. Commodity price fluctuations may affect the revenue that the Group generates in its operations as well as the costs incurred at its operations for royalties based on the gold price. There has been no significant change in the Group's objectives and policies for managing this risk during the period ended 31 March 2024 and the Group has a gold revenue protection programme in place to protect against commodity price variability in periods of significant capital investment, as discussed below.

(EXPRESSED IN MILLIONS OF UNITED STATES DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Gold Collar
In the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group implemented a deferred premium collar strategy ("collar") using written call options and bought put options with a floor price of \$1,750 and a ceiling price of \$2,100 per ounce. The collar covered a total of 600,008 ounces which were settled equally on a quarterly basis in 2022 and 2023. The programme represented an estimated 20% of Endeavour's total expected gold production for the period of the collar and the Group paid a premium of \$10.0 million upon entering into the collar. The collar was fully settled as at 31 December 2023.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group extended its collar strategy embedded in the revenue protection programme by acquiring additional collars in Q1 and Q4. In January 2023, the Group acquired a gold collar for 450,000 ounces with the written call options and bought put options having a floor price of \$1,800 and a ceiling price of \$2,400 per ounce respectively to be settled equally on a quarterly basis in 2024. In November 2023, the Group acquired a gold collar for 200,000 ounces with the written call options and bought put options having an average floor price of \$1,992 per ounce and a ceiling price of \$2,400 per ounce respectively to be settled equally on a quarterly basis in 2025.
None of the collars were designated as a hedge by the Group and is recorded at its fair value at the end of each reporting period.
As at 31 March 2024, outstanding collars of 337,500 and 200,000 for 2024 and 2025 respectively, at an average floor and ceiling price of \$1,807/oz and \$2,400/oz and \$1,992/oz and \$2,400/oz respectively, had a fair value liability of \$40.0 million (31 December 2023 - \$19.3 million) which is included in derivative financial liabilities (note 13) and \$19.9 million is classified as current (31 December 2023 - \$10.8 million current asset).
The Group recognised an unrealised loss of \$20.7 million due to a change in fair value of the collar for the three months ended 31 March 2024 (three months ended 31 March 2023 - \$25.1 million loss) and no realised gain or loss was recognised in the three months ended 31 March 2024 (three months ended 31 March 2023 - nil).
Forward contracts
During the year ended 31 December 2022, the Group entered into forward contracts 120,000 ounces of production in 2023 at average gold prices of \$1,829 per ounce, with settlement equally weighted through the year.
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group entered into additional gold forward contracts for 70,000 ounces at an average gold price of \$2,032 per ounce to be settled equally in the first two quarters of 2024. None of the Forwards were designated as a hedge by the Group and are recorded at its fair value at the end of each reporting period. During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group also employed a inter-quarter LBMA averaging arrangement, which serves to align realised gold prices during the quarter with the LBMA average for the respective quarter.
In the three months ended 31 March 2024, forward contracts for 35,000 ounces were settled at a realised loss of \$5.9 million (three months ended 31 March 2023, forward contracts for 30,000 ounces were settled for a realised loss of \$4.1 million). In addition, the Company realised a loss of \$5.5 million associated to its LBMA averaging arrangement (three months ended 31 March 2023 - \$1.7 million).
At 31 March 2024, outstanding forward contracts of 35,000 ounces for Q2 2024 at an average gold price of \$2,041 per ounce were classified as a derivative financial liability (note 13) and had a fair value of \$7.5 million, which is classified as current (31 December 2023 - \$5.4 million derivative financial liability). The Company recognised an unrealised loss of \$2.1 million in the three months ended 31 March 2024 (three months ended 31 March 2023 - \$15.5 million loss).
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows from, or the fair values of, the Group's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its long-term debt and in particular the revolving credit facility. Since marketable securities and government treasury securities held as loans are short term in nature and are usually held to maturity, there is minimal fair value sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Group continually monitors its exposure to interest rates and is comfortable with its exposure given the relatively low short-term US interest rates and Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").
OTHER MARKET PRICE RISKS
The Group holds marketable securities in other companies as part of its wider capital risk management policy. At 31 March 2024, \$35.3 million (31 December 2023 - \$37.3 million) of the marketable securities related to the Group's shareholding in Allied (refer to note 11). The remaining balance relates to number of other strategic capital investments that complement the Group's strategy.

a. SENIOR NOTES
On 14 October 2021, the Company completed an offering of \$500.0 million fixed rate senior notes (the "Senior Notes") due in 2026. The Senior Notes are listed on the Global Exchange Market ("GEM") which is the exchange-regulated market of The Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin and to trading on the GEM of Euronext Dublin.
The Senior Notes bear interest at a coupon rate of 5% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on 14 April and 14 October each year. The Senior Notes mature on 14 October 2026, unless redeemed earlier or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes.
The key terms of the Senior Notes include:
- Principal amount of \$500.0 million.
- Coupon rate of 5% payable on a semi-annual basis.
- The term of the Senior Notes is five years, maturing in October 2026.
- The Senior Notes are reimbursable through the payment of cash.
For accounting purposes, the Company measures the Senior Notes at amortised cost, accreting to maturity over the term of the Senior Notes. The early redemption feature on the Senior Notes is an embedded derivative and is accounted for as a financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, with changes in fair value at each subsequent reporting period being recognised in earnings (note 6). The early redemption feature on the Senior Notes includes an optional redemption from October 2023 through to maturity at a redemption price ranging from 102.5% to 100% of the principal. The fair value of the prepayment feature has been calculated using a valuation model taking into account the market value of the debt, interest rate volatility, risk-free interest rates, and the credit spread. The fair value of the embedded derivative at 31 March 2024 was \$0.6 million (31 December 2023 - nil) and is included in derivative assets per note 11.
Covenants on the Senior Notes include certain restrictions on indebtedness, restricted payments, liens, or distributions from certain companies in the Group. In addition, should the rating of the Senior Notes be downgraded as a result of a change of control (defined as the sale or transfer of 50% or more of the common shares or the transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Group), the Group is obligated to repurchase the Senior Notes at an equivalent price of 101% of the principal amount plus the accrued interest to repurchase date, if requested to do so by any creditor.

The liability component of the Senior Notes has an effective interest rate of 5.68% (31 December 2023 - 5.68%) and was as follows:
| 31 March | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Liability component at beginning of the period | 497.6 | 495.0 |
| Interest expense in the period | 6.8 | 27.6 |
| Less: interest payments in the period | — | (25.0) |
| Total | 504.4 | 497.6 |
b. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
Concurrent with the completion of the offering of the Senior Notes above, the Company entered into a \$500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the "RCF") with a syndicate of international banks. The Company increased the principal amount to \$575.0 million in 2022, and further increased this to \$645.0 million in 2023.
During the three months ended 31 March 2024 \$180.0 million was drawn down during the period, with the full \$645.0 million outstanding at the end of the period. The amount has been classified as non-current based on the contracted terms, and that there was no breach of covenants as of 31 March 2024; however management expect to settle a substantial portion of the outstanding amount within 12 months from 31 March 2024.
For the quarter ended 31 March 2024, the Group incurred a total interest expense of \$12.3 million on the RCF (including unwinding of deferred financing costs of \$0.8 million and commitment fees of \$0.2 million) of which \$3.5 million was paid and the remaining amount recognised as an interest accrual.
The key terms of the RCF include:
- Principal amount of \$645.0 million.
- Interest accrues on a sliding scale of between USD SOFR plus 2.40% to 3.40% based on the leverage ratio.
- Commitment fees for the undrawn portion of the RCF of 35% of the applicable margin which is based on leverage (0.84% based on currently available margin).
- The RCF matures on 15 October 2025.
- The principal outstanding on the RCF is repayable as a single bullet payment on the maturity date.
- Banking syndicate includes Société Générale, ING, Citibank N.A., BNP Paribas, Macquarie Bank Ltd, Barclays Bank, HSBC and BMO.
Covenants on the RCF include:
- Interest cover ratio as measured by ratio of EBITDA to finance cost for the trailing twelve months to the end of a quarter shall not be less than 3.0:1.0
- Leverage as measured by the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA at the end of each quarter must not exceed 3.5:1.0
c. LAFIGUÉ TERM LOAN
On 28 July 2023, the Company entered into a \$167.1 million syndicated term loan ("term loan") with local banking partners within the West African Economic Zone ("UEMOA"). During the three months ended 31 March 2024, the Company drew down \$39.3 million specifically to support the ongoing development of the Lafigué project. The term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum, payable quarterly, while the principal will amortise in sixteen equal payments commencing 28 October 2024. There are no additional covenants associated with the term loan. The local entity, Société des Mines de Lafigué, is the borrower on the facility, which is guaranteed by Endeavour Mining plc.

The Convertible Notes accrued interest at a coupon rate of 3% payable semi-annually in arrears on 15 February and 15 August of each year.
On 15 February 2023, the Company repaid the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Notes of \$330.0 million in cash and elected to issue a further 835,254 in shares to settle the conversion option of the Convertible Notes, and for the three months ended 31 March 2023, a loss of \$14.9 million was recognised as a fair value adjustment.

16 INCOME TAXES
The Group operates in numerous countries, and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some subsidiaries of the Group are not subject to corporate taxation in the Cayman Islands. However, the taxable earnings of the corporate entities in Barbados, Burkina Faso, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius, Mali, Senegal, Monaco, France, and the United Kingdom are subject to tax under the tax law of the respective jurisdiction.
Significant judgement is required in the interpretation or application of certain tax rules when determining the provision for income taxes due to the complexity of the legislation. From time to time the Group is subject to a review of its income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Group's business conducted within the country involved. Management evaluates each of the assessments and recognises a provision based on its best estimate of the ultimate resolution of the assessment, through either negotiation or through a legal or arbitrative process. In the event that management's estimate of the future resolution of these matters change over time, the Group will recognise the effects of the changes in its interim financial statements in the period that such changes occur.
Tax expense for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was \$33.6 million (for the three months ended 31 March 2023 - \$36.4 million).

18 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Group has commitments in place at all four of its mines and as at 31 March 2024, the Group had approximately \$62.8 million in commitments relating to ongoing capital projects at its various mines.
During 2022, the Group launched the expansion of the Sabodala-Massawa mine by supplementing the current CIL plant with a BIOX®plant as well as the construction of the Lafigué project. As at 31 March 2024, the Group has approximately \$35.8 million and \$47.7 million in commitments outstanding respectively.
From time to time, the Group is involved in various claims, legal proceedings, tax assessments and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business from third parties and current or former employees. The Group also assessed potential claims and contingencies from the former CEO's misconduct, such as legal claims from shareholders, regulatory inquiries and legal proceedings taken by the former CEO. Two class action lawsuits were brought against the Company during the three months ended 31 March 2024 related to the CEO dismissal. Both actions are at a preliminary stage and have not yet been certified and ultimately only one action may be carried out.
On 1 March 2024, the Group filed for arbitration proceedings against both Lilium and others in relation to certain claims under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement and in terms of the two stand-by letters of credit concerning the failure to fulfil and honour the payment obligations under the agreements. Potential exposure is factored into expected credit loss considerations.
The Group and its legal counsel consider the merits of each claim and the probable outcome but intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. For those claims that the Group considers it probable that the judgement will not be in its favour and there will be an outflow of cash as a result, the Group has recognised a provision for the claim based on management's best estimate of the amount that will be required to settle the provision. The Group does not believe that adverse decisions in any other pending or threatened proceedings related to any matter, or any amount which may be required to be paid by reason thereof, will have a material effect on the financial condition or future results of operations.
The Group's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Group believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Group has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
The Group assumed a gold stream when it acquired the Sabodala-Massawa mine on 10 February 2021 ("Sabodala stream"). Under the Sabodala stream, the Group is required to deliver 783 ounces of gold per month beginning 1 September 2020 until 108,100 ounces have been delivered to Franco-Nevada (the "Fixed Delivery Period") based on the Sabodala separate production plan prior to the Massawa Acquisition by Teranga on 4 March 2020. At the end of the Fixed Delivery Period, any difference between total gold ounces delivered during the Fixed Delivery Period and 6% of production from the Group's existing properties in Senegal (excluding Massawa) could result in a credit from or additional gold deliveries to Franco-Nevada. Subsequent to the Fixed Delivery Period, the Group is required to deliver 6% of production from the Group's existing properties in Senegal (excluding Massawa). For ounces of gold delivered to Franco-Nevada under the Stream Agreement, Franco-Nevada pays the Group cash at the date of delivery for the equivalent of the prevailing spot price of gold on 20% of the ounces delivered. Revenue is recognised on actual proceeds received. The Group delivered 2,350 ounces during the period three months ended 31 March 2024 and as at 31 March 2024, 72,067 ounces are still to be delivered under the Fixed Delivery Period.

19 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Share buyback programme
Subsequent to 31 March 2024 and up to 30 April 2024, the Group has repurchased a total of 165,378 shares at an average price of \$21.02 for total cash outflows of \$3.5 million.
Gold prepayment programme
Subsequent to 31 March 2024 the Group entered into two separate gold prepayment agreements for \$150.0 million in exchange for the delivery of 75,875 ounces in Q4 2024 at prevailing spot prices. The \$100.0 million agreement with Bank of Montreal ("BMO") is based on a floating arrangement for the delivery of 53,876 ounces in reference to prevailing spot prices for the settlement of \$105.1 million, inclusive of the financing costs, in Q4 2024. The value of the ounces above the contracted \$105.1 million reimbursement at the time of delivery will be returned to Endeavour as cash. The \$50.0 million agreement with ING Bank N.V. ("ING") is based on a fixed arrangement for the delivery of ounces of 21,999 ounces for the settlement of \$50.0 million in Q4 2024.
To mitigate the Group's exposure to gold price associated with the delivery of ounces under the fixed arrangement prepayment agreement, in Q2 2024 the Group entered into forward purchase contracts for 21,999 ounces at an average gold price of \$2,408/oz, due in Q4 2024.
