Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) reported financial and operating results for its second quarter of fiscal 2027 ended Sept. 30, 2026, according to a press release disseminated on behalf of Silvercorp Metals. Revenue declined 13% year over year to $72.1 million, primarily reflecting reduced production during safety improvement work at the Ying Mining District, partially offset by higher realized silver and gold prices.
Net income attributable to shareholders totaled $5.3 million, or $0.02 per share, compared with a net loss of $11.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings declined to $18.4 million from $22.6 million, while operating cash flow increased 60% to $62.7 million, including a $43.9 million drawdown from Wheaton. The company produced approximately 900,000 ounces of silver and 1,371 ounces of gold during the quarter.
Silvercorp ended the quarter with $383.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with an equity investment portfolio valued at $428 million. Capital expenditures totaled $50.5 million as the company advanced mine construction and safety improvements. Major safety work at Ying has been substantially completed and operations have been approved to resume, while production at the GC Mine remains suspended, with a targeted restart in November 2027. The company is also targeting November 2027 for initial production at its El Domo project in Ecuador following weather-related construction delays.
The quarter's results underscore the financial impact of safety-driven production interruptions, but the resumption of operations at Ying and the company's strong cash position may position Silvercorp to recover output and cash flow in subsequent quarters. The higher operating cash flow, despite lower revenue and adjusted earnings, highlights the company's ability to generate liquidity even during operational disruptions. The substantial cash balance and equity portfolio provide financial flexibility as Silvercorp advances construction at El Domo and works toward restarting the GC Mine.
For investors, the swing to net income from a prior-year loss and the 60% increase in operating cash flow may signal improving underlying performance, though the revenue decline and lower adjusted earnings reflect the near-term costs of safety improvements and suspended production. The targeted November 2027 restart at GC and initial production at El Domo are key milestones that could influence future results.
