THOMPSON CREEK METALS COMPANY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — Unaudited

(US dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc.’s (“TCM” or the “Company”) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TCM bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCM and its subsidiaries, and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Financial amounts are presented in United States (“US”) dollars unless otherwise stated.  References to C$ are Canadian dollars.

 

2. Terrane Acquisition

 

On October 20, 2010, TCM acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Terrane Metals Corp. (“Terrane”).  At December 31, 2010, the allocation of the purchase price was recorded using preliminary estimates related to the fair value of the mineral properties acquired.   During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the allocation of the purchase price of Terrane was finalized.  The following table is a summary of the final fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed:

)

Deferred income tax liabilities

 

(178.6

)

Net assets

 

$

693.4

 

 

From those amounts recorded using preliminary estimates at December 31, 2010, the finalization of the purchase price allocation of Terrane resulted in a $3.3 million decrease to the fair value of property, plant and equipment and mineralization, and a corresponding decrease to deferred income tax liabilities.

As of September 30, 2011, the carrying value of TCM’s inventory exceeded the market value.  Total write-downs were $12.9 million and $18.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The inventory write-down in the current quarter was primarily due to the TC Mine pit sequencing, which resulted in increased costs related to waste removal activities. The write-down of inventory has been included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  No such write-down occurred in the comparative periods in the prior year. For further discussion regarding fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements.

recognized on construction in progress or mine development as neither the new mill nor the Mt. Milligan project have been completed or placed into service.

 

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

TCM enters into various derivative financial instruments in its normal course of operations.  None of TCM’s derivative instruments are treated as hedges for accounting purposes, and all are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded to the consolidated statements of income, except those contracts for which TCM has elected to apply the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. TCM is exposed to credit loss when counterparties with which it has entered into derivative transactions are unable to pay. To reduce counterparty credit exposure, TCM deals only with large credit-worthy financial institutions and companies and limits credit exposure to each. TCM believes the counterparties to the contracts to be credit-worthy entities, and therefore, TCM believes credit risk of counterparty non-performance is relatively low.  For information regarding the nature and types of TCM’s derivatives, see the references noted in the following tables.

 

The following table summarizes the location and fair value amounts of all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets:

(a)          Provisionally-Priced Contracts

 

Certain molybdenum sales contracts provide for provisional pricing as specified in such contracts.  These sales contain an embedded derivative related to the provisional pricing mechanism, which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative.

 

TCM also enters into provisionally-priced molybdenum purchase contracts that also contain an embedded derivative, which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative.  Changes to the fair values of the embedded derivatives related to provisionally-priced molybdenum purchases are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income as the product is sold.

(b)                               Fixed-Priced Contracts

 

TCM’s results of operations and operating cash flows are affected by changes in market prices for mineral products. To mitigate a portion of this risk, TCM enters into certain mineral product sales contracts pursuant to which it sells future production at fixed prices. These fixed prices may be different than the quoted market prices at the date of sale. Substantially all of the fixed-priced forward molybdenum sales contracts in place at September 30, 2011 cover the period through December 31, 2011.

(c)           Forward Currency Contracts

 

TCM transacts business in various currencies in the normal course of its operations and for capital expenditures.  In addition, with all of its revenues denominated in U.S. dollars, TCM has on-going foreign exchange risk with respect to its Canadian operations.  To help mitigate this risk, TCM, from time to time, enters into various derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and collars. The terms of these instruments are typically less than one year.  TCM records its currency contracts at fair value using a market approach based on observable quoted exchange rates and contracted notional amounts.  As of September 30, 2011, TCM had open foreign currency contracts of C$50 million at exchange rates ranging from $0.99 to $1.00.  At December 31, 2010, TCM had no open forward currency contracts.

In April 2011, TCM received approximately $17 million of proceeds from the exercise of approximately 27.8 million Terrane warrants and issued 1.4 million TCM shares as a result of these exercises.  A total of 15.5 million unexercised 2011 Terrane warrants assumed in the acquisition of Terrane expired on April 16, 2011.  As of September 30, 2011, there were approximately 8.1 million Terrane warrants outstanding that expire in June 2012.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, TCM recorded a non-cash increase to common stock of $2.3 million representing the fair value of warrants exercised on the date of such exercise.

 

6. Fair Value Measurement

 

US GAAP accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The following table sets forth TCM’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

7.375% Senior Unsecured Notes

 

On May 20, 2011, TCM issued $350 million of 7.375% senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).  The proceeds received in the offering were $339.9 million, which were net of financing fees of $10.1 million.  TCM expects to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to fund the development of Mt. Milligan and for general working capital purposes.   The Notes are redeemable at TCM’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 1, 2014.  The Notes mature on June 1, 2018 and accrue interest from May 20, 2011 until maturity at a fixed rate of 7.375% per year.   Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2011.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, TCM capitalized $6.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of the interest incurred and amortization of debt issue costs associated with the Notes.

 

The Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by substantially all of TCM’s subsidiaries.   The Notes include both standard financial and non-financial covenants, including, among others, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments and allowing new liens.  As of September 30, 2011, TCM was in compliance with these covenants.  In connection with the issuance of the Notes, TCM, the guarantors and the initial purchasers entered into an agreement obligating TCM to file a registration statement with the SEC so that the holders of the Notes can exchange the Notes for registered notes and related guarantees evidencing the same indebtedness as the Notes.  This registration statement was filed with the SEC on November 1, 2011, and became effective on November 4, 2011.

 

Credit facility

 

As of September 30, 2011, TCM has in place a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).  On February 24, 2011, TCM entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the facility from $290 million to $300 million.  Subsequently on May 20, 2011 and concurrent with the offering of the Notes (more fully described above), TCM

THOMPSON CREEK METALS COMPANY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — Unaudited

(US dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow for the issuance of the Notes.  The obligations of TCM under of the Credit Agreement are secured by a senior lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of TCM, and substantially all of its subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement includes both standard financial and non-financial covenants, including ratio tests for leverage and interest coverage as well as a liquidity test to be met at the time of any drawdown.  As of September 30, 2011, TCM was in compliance with the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants.

 

As of September 30, 2011, TCM had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and had issued and outstanding $4.6 million in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. Commitment fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the Credit Agreement were $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  TCM amortized $0.6 million and $1.6 million of finance fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the Credit Agreement.

 

Equipment financing facility

 

On March 30, 2011, TCM entered into an equipment financing facility (“Equipment Facility”) pursuant to which Caterpillar Financial Services Limited (“Caterpillar”) agreed to underwrite up to $132 million in mobile fleet equipment financing for the Mt. Milligan project.  Each borrowing under the Equipment Facility will be for a term of 60 months.  Interest on the amounts borrowed under the Equipment Facility is payable at either floating or fixed rates, at TCM’s option.  TCM’s ability to borrow under the Equipment Facility terminates 33 months following its effective date (or such later date as may be agreed upon by Caterpillar), and any unused commitments under the Equipment Facility will then terminate and no longer be available to TCM.  At the end of each 60-month lease period, TCM has the option to purchase the underlying equipment for a nominal sum.  The Equipment Facility includes both standard financial and non-financial covenants, including ratio tests for leverage and interest coverage.  As of September 30, 2011, TCM had no outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Facility and was in compliance with its financial covenants.

 

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal matters

 

Below are descriptions of certain legal actions which involve certain properties of TCM.  Although the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on TCM’s future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2010, the Stellat’en First Nation filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the British Columbia Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and TCM alleging that the Endako Mine and the mill expansion project at the Endako Mine represent infringements of the aboriginal title of the petitioners and impacts to their aboriginal rights, and that the government breached its duty to consult with the Stellat’en First Nation in relation to the impacts of the Endako Mine and the mill expansion.  The petitioners sought a declaration that the Provincial Crown has not fulfilled its duty to consult with them in relation to the mill expansion project at the Endako Mine, a declaration that the mining permits and/or tenures held by TCM are invalid, an order quashing or setting aside the decision to issue a permit amendment to TCM, and an injunction prohibiting further construction or alterations to the Endako Mine relating to the mill expansion project at the Endako Mine.  The government and TCM filed materials in response to the petition, and the matter was heard by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in a hearing that took place in late February and early March of 2011.  On August 5, 2011, the Court dismissed the petitioners’ claims in full.  On August 17, 2011, the Stellat’en First Nation filed a notice of appeal from that decision to the Court of Appeal of British Columbia.  The appeal, in which both TCM and the government will seek to have the decision of the Supreme Court of BC upheld, has not yet been set for hearing.

 

In January, August and December of 2010, the Nak’azdli First Nation commenced separate legal proceedings against Federal or Provincial governments in Canada asserting that it was not adequately consulted by such governments before Terrane was granted various approvals relating to the Mt. Milligan project.  No claim of wrongdoing on the part of TCM or Terrane is alleged, and no claim for damages against TCM or Terrane is sought in any of such proceedings. TCM is not a party in any of the proceedings. Terrane has either been named or has had itself added as a participant in two of these proceedings because the relief that is sought in the proceedings would, if granted, have the potential to affect the work being done on the Mt. Milligan project.

Molybdenum purchases

 

In the normal course of operations, TCM enters into agreements for the purchase of molybdenum. As of September 30, 2011, TCM had commitments to purchase approximately 2.4 million pounds of molybdenum sulfide concentrate throughout the remainder of 2011, to be priced at a discount to the market price for molybdenum oxide at the time of purchase.

 

Capital purchase commitments

 

As of September 30, 2011, TCM had open purchase orders, contracts and capital purchase commitments of $336.3 million for engineering and equipment related to the development of Mt. Milligan, and $3.9 million related to the mill expansion at the Endako Mine.

 

Guarantees

 

As discussed in the 2010 Form 10-K, on December 9, 2009, TCM entered into a credit support agreement with British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (“BC Hydro”) related to the mill expansion project at the Endako Mine. Under this agreement, TCM is required to post financial assurance in an amount equal to BC Hydro’s estimated out-of-pocket costs for work on the Endako mill expansion project.  Subsequent to the commissioning of the new mill and subject to annual measurements of BC Hydro’s incremental revenues following the mill’s commissioning, some or all of this financial assurance may, thereafter, be released in amounts equal to the incremental revenues generated until such time as the full amount of financial assurance has been released or until such time as the expiration period has been reached. The amount of the guarantee as of September 30, 2011 was C$16.5 million. As part of the financial guarantee, TCM provided a surety bond for C$11.2 million for additional financial assurance to BC Hydro.  The surety bond can be drawn down in the event of a shortfall in incremental revenues after the commissioning of the new mill facility.  At this time, TCM does not anticipate having to post any additional financial assurance with respect to the BC Hydro credit support agreement.

 

As of September 30, 2011, a shortfall in Endako’s future electric power usage that would result in incremental payments to BC Hydro is not deemed to be probable.  As such, no accrual has been recorded. An accrual for any expected shortfall will be recorded if and when it is determined that a shortfall is probable and a reasonable estimate can be made.

 

9.  Income and Mining Taxes

 

Income and mining taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was a benefit of $5.6 million compared to an expense of $1.2 million in 2010.  The effective tax rates of (14.0%) and 3.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, differ from the amounts that would result from applying the Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates primarily due to the US percentage depletion benefit and the non-taxable change in the fair value of common stock warrants.

 

Income and mining taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $21.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 6.7% and 4.3%, respectively.

 

The 2011 effective tax rate differs from the 2010 effective tax rate primarily due to the non-taxable change in the fair value of TCM’s common stock warrants, and a $10.7 million net refund in 2010 of certain state income taxes related to prior year tax returns.

 

10.  Stock-Based Compensation

 

On May 6, 2010, TCM’s shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).  The LTIP allows TCM to grant stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share units, or shares as bonus compensation.  As of September 30, 2011, TCM has granted stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”) under the LTIP, as discussed below.

a)            Stock Options

 

The expiration date and vesting provisions of options granted are established at the time an award is made. Options may be exercised by the holder upon vesting of the option award. When an option is exercised, TCM issues the requisite shares from authorized but unissued common stock. The exercise price of option grants awarded is equal to the weighted-average trading price of the underlying shares over the five consecutive trading days immediately before the award date.

The vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon employee service and the performance of TCM’s share price relative to the established award price.  At each anniversary date during the vesting period, if the per share closing price of TCM’s common stock on such date is at or higher than the award price, then the awards will vest one-third, and the requisite shares will be issued.  If the closing price is less than the award price, and, therefore, the share price condition is not achieved, then those PSUs do not vest and are carried forward to the following anniversary date.  Any PSUs not vested at the end of the three-year vesting period will expire.

 

PSUs granted are accounted for at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model on the date of grant.  The Monte Carlo model is based on random projections of stock price paths.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, TCM recorded compensation expense related to the PSUs of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  TCM recorded $0.4 million of expense related to the PSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

TCM accounts for RSUs at fair value, which is based on the market value of TCM’s common shares on the day of grant and recognized over the vesting period of three years.  Upon vesting, TCM will issue the requisite shares.  TCM recorded $0.3 million and $0.8 million of compensation expense related to its RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  TCM recorded compensation expense of $0.2 million related to its RSUs for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

14. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

TCM is exposed to counterparty risk from its cash and cash equivalent balances, its short-term cash investments, and its reclamation deposits held by financial institutions and governmental entities. TCM monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions and companies in which it invests its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and that hold its reclamation deposits. The counterparties to cash balances, investments and its reclamation deposits are US and Canadian institutions and the US and Canadian governments other than balances maintained in various bank operating accounts. TCM’s investment policy limits investments to government-backed financial instruments, commercial paper and other investments meeting certain guidelines.

 

TCM manages its credit risk from its accounts receivable through its collection activities. As of September 30, 2011, TCM had 5 customers which owed TCM more than $3.0 million and accounted for approximately 35% of all receivables outstanding. Another 12 customers had balances greater than $1.0 million but less than $3.0 million that accounted for approximately 20% of total receivables.  All of these customers were compliant with credit terms and scheduled payment dates.

 

TCM’s maximum counterparty and credit risk exposure is the carrying value of its cash and accounts receivable. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and fixed rate debt approximate fair value as of September 30, 2011.

15. Segment Information

 

TCM has three reportable segments: US Operations Molybdenum, Canadian Operations Molybdenum, and Copper-Gold (Development). The US Operations Molybdenum segment includes all mining, milling, mine site administration, and roasting and sale of molybdenum products from the TC Mine and the Langeloth Facility, as well as all roasting and sales of third-party purchased material. The Canadian Operations Molybdenum segment includes all mining, milling, mine site administration, and roasting and sale of molybdenum products from the 75% owned Endako Mine. The Copper-Gold (Development) segment includes all development expenditures and development site administration from Mt. Milligan. The Inter-segment represents the elimination of management fee income, and revenue and cost of sales of product transported from the Canadian Operations to the US Operations for processing. TCM’s chief operating decision makers (Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer) evaluate segment performance based on segment revenue less costs and expenses. TCM attributes other income and expenses to the reporting segments if the income or expense is directly related to segment operations, as described above. TCM does not allocate corporate expenditures such as general and administrative, exploration, and interest income and expense items to its reporting segments, unless such expenditures are directly related to segment operations.  Segment information for the three and nine months ended as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
