Hecla Mining Recasts Financials to Reflect Casa Berardi as Discontinued Operation

Details

The transaction, completed on March 25, 2026, for up to $602.2 million, represents a strategic shift that impacts the company's operations and financial results. Casa Berardi is no longer a reportable segment, and its financial results are now reflected as a discontinued operation. Additionally, the income statements have been recast to remove 'Total Cost of Sales' and 'Gross Profit' line items and to rename 'ramp-up and suspension costs' as 'care and maintenance' costs. These changes are intended to conform to the presentation adopted in the Q2 2026 Form 10-Q, filed August 4, 2026.
