31 Endnotes 2 Non GAAP Financial Measures: The Company has included certain non GAAP financial measures throughout this document which include total cash costs, total production costs and all in sustaining costs per silver and per gold ounce ( all in sustaining costs ). These measures are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation. The Company s primary business is silver and gold production with other metals (gold in silver products, silver in gold products, lead, zinc and copper), produced simultaneously in the mining process, the value of which represents a small percentage of the Company s revenue and is therefore considered by product. The Company believes these measures will provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company s underlying cash costs of operations, the impact of by product credits on the Company s cost structure and its ability to generate cash flow, as well as providing a meaningful comparison to other mining companies. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be substituted for GAAP measures. Total cash costs: The Company reports total cash costs on a silver and gold ounces produced basis. The Company follows the recommendation of the cost standard as endorsed by the Silver Institute ( the Institute ) and the World Gold Counsel (WGC). The Institute and the WGS are nonprofit international associations with membership from across the precious metal production industry. The Institute and the WGC serve as the industry s voice in increasing public understanding of the many uses and values of silver and gold. This remains the generally accepted standard for reporting cash costs of production by precious metal mining companies. Total cash costs and total production costs associated with silver production are divided by the number of silver ounces contained in concentrate to calculate per ounce figures for silver. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of silver, the Company deducts by product credits from gold, lead and zinc sales which are incidental to producing silver. Total cash costs associated with gold production are divided by the number of gold ounces contained in doré. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of silver, the Company deducts by product credits from silver sales which are incidental to producing gold. All in sustaining costs: The Company has also adopted the reporting of all in sustaining costs as a non GAAP measure of a precious metal mining company s operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations. This measure has no standardized meaning and the Company has utilized an adapted version of the guidance released by the World Gold Council, the market development organization for the gold industry. The World Gold Council is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements. All in sustaining costs include total cash costs incurred at the Company s mining operation, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, exploration and evaluations costs, and reclamation and closure accretion. The Company believes that this non GAAP measure represents the total costs of producing silver from its operation, and provides additional information of the Company s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows to support future capital investments and to sustain future production. These non GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies depending on the underlying accounting principles and policies applied. This presentation refers to total cash costs and all in sustaining costs, which are non GAAP financial measures. Quantitative reconciliations from such non GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure presented in Tahoe s financial statements are provided in the Company s management s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the corresponding period. The Company s MD&A are available on SEDAR and at relations/financials 31

32 Endnotes 3 Additional GAAP measures: The Company has disclosed additional GAAP measures which include mine operating earnings, earnings (loss) from operations and cash generated by operating activities before changes in working capital. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company s performance. These measures 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 GAAP. Mine operating earnings: Mine operating earnings represent the difference between revenues and operating costs which include royalties and depreciation and depletion. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company s mine operating performance and to assess the Company s ability to generate operating cash flow. Earnings (loss) from operations: Earnings (loss) from operations represent the difference between mine operating earnings and other operating expenses which include Escobal project expenses, other exploration expenses and general and administrative expenses. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company s mine operating performance when also taking into account certain costs not directly associated with production. Cash generated by operating activities before changes in working capital: Cash generated by operating activities before changes in working capital represents the cash flows generated by operating activities after adjusting for interest expense, income tax expense and financing fees as well as items not involving cash. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company s ability to generate cash flows from its mining operation. The additional GAAP measures described above do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. As such, there are likely to be differences in the method of computation when compared to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. References to third party reports and research: The information presented on slides referencing third party research been prepared using data from the cited individual sources as noted on each slide. Please note that any opinions, estimates or forecasts regarding Tahoe Resources performance or the performance of its competitors by third parties is made without consultation with Tahoe Resources and does not represent the Company s opinions, estimates, forecasts or predictions. Tahoe Resources does not, by its reference above or distribution, imply, endorse or concur with any conclusions or recommendations. 32

33 Endnotes 4 This presentation contains a financial outlook within the meaning of applicable securities laws, in particular related to expected capital costs, corporate, general and administrative expenses and exploration expenses for the 2015 financial year. The financial outlook has been prepared by management of the Company to provide an outlook of the Company s activities and results, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The financial outlook has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed above. Management does not have firm commitments for all of the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions used to prepare the financial outlook or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those variables are not objectively determinable. The actual results of operations will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in this presentation, and such variation may be material. 33
