All amounts are expressed in US$ unless otherwise indicated. Results are preliminary and unaudited and could be adjusted based on final results.

Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE:PAAS) (TSX:PAAS) ("Pan American" or the "Company") announced its preliminary production results for the fourth quarter of 2025 ("Q4 2025") and for the full year 2025 ("FY 2025"). The Company also provides its guidance for 2026 production, costs, capital investments and expenditures. The Company's audited financial and operating results for Q4 2025 and FY 2025 will be released on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 after market close. Conference call details are provided at the end of this news release.

2025 Highlights

• Attributable silver production of 22.8 million ounces exceeded the updated annual guidance range, with a record 7.3 million ounces produced in Q4 2025⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾.

• Attributable gold production of 742.2 thousand ounces was within the annual guidance range⁽¹⁾⁽³⁾, with 197.8 thousand ounces produced in Q4 2025.

• The Juanicipio mine exceeded expectations, contributing 2.5 million ounces of silver since the mine was acquired in September 2025 and a $44 million dividend received in December 2025.

• Strong financial position. Cash and short-term investments are estimated to total $1,319 million at December 31, 2025, on an unaudited basis, representing an increase of approximately $408 million from September 30, 2025. This amount excludes an additional $127 million of cash attributable to the Company's 44% investment in Juanicipio. The Company's revolving credit facility remained undrawn at year end, resulting in total available liquidity estimated at $2,069 million at December 31, 2025.

"Silver production in 2025 exceeded the top end of our guidance range. We increased our 2025 silver production estimate to reflect the addition of Juanicipio in September, and the mine has performed better than expected," said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Gold production was within our 2025 guidance range, capped off by strong output in the fourth quarter, as anticipated. The increase in our estimated year-end 2025 cash balance reflects strong silver and gold production and expanded operating margins from the increase in metal prices in Q4."

2026 Forecast Operating Highlights

• Attributable silver production is expected to be between 25.0 million to 27.0 million ounces⁽¹⁾.

• Attributable gold production is expected to be between 700.0 thousand to 750.0 thousand ounces⁽¹⁾.

• Silver Segment all-in sustaining costs ("AISC")⁽⁴⁾ are expected to be between $15.75 and $18.25 per ounce.

• Gold Segment AISC⁽⁴⁾ are expected to be between $1,700 and $1,850 per ounce.

• Capital expenditures are expected to total $515 million to $550 million, comprised of $320 million to $340 million of sustaining capital and $195 million to $210 million of project capital.

"Our 2026 operating outlook and assumptions for 2026 metal prices point to further expansion of operating margins," said Mr. Steinmann. "With the expectation of strong cash flow generation, we plan to invest in growth and continue to return capital to shareholders. In 2026, we are advancing our internal growth projects, with a focus on a new phased development approach for the La Colorada Skarn and the vein mine. An updated preliminary economic assessment is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2026. At Jacobina, a pilot plant commissioned in late 2025 is expected to help validate opportunities identified in the optimization study to improve reliability, increase throughput, and enhance gold recovery."

PRELIMINARY 2025 ATTRIBUTABLE PRODUCTION RESULTS

2025 Attributable Base Metal Production

2026 OPERATING FORECAST

Pan American expects total Attributable silver production to be between 25.0 and 27.0 million ounces in 2026 and Attributable gold production to be between 700.0 and 750.0 thousand ounces in 2026. Silver and gold production are expected to be weighted to the second half of 2026. The Company will provide a quarterly consolidated production forecast for silver and gold with the release of its Q4 2025 and FY 2025 financial results.

Pan American expects Silver Segment AISC to be between $15.75 and $18.25 per ounce and Gold Segment AISC to be between $1,700 and $1,850 per ounce. The estimated costs reflect the impact of higher metal price assumptions on royalties, workers' participation and smelting and refining costs.

The 2026 operating forecast reflects the following main expectations:

• La Colorada - additional royalties from mining a third-party concession and increased sustaining capital expenditures for mine equipment and tailing storage facilities.

• Juanicipio - contribution from a full year of production of low cost, high margin ounces.

• Cerro Moro - mine sequencing into higher-silver grade zones and the effect of a higher gold price assumption on by-product credits.

• Huaron - continued higher proportion of mill feed from development versus stoping ore, resulting in lower-than-reserve grade ore mined and increased costs.

• San Vicente - higher royalties from higher metal price assumptions, scheduled plant maintenance in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase in sustaining capital related to tailings storage facility and plant upgrades.

• Jacobina - scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter of 2026; increased operating costs from additional development and higher hauling contract rates, and higher sustaining capital spending on mine equipment and plant upgrades.

• El Peñon - exhaustion of the low-grade stockpile, and the effect of a higher silver price assumption on by-product credits.

• Dolores - lower production and higher unit operating costs, as the mine approaches the end of its residual leaching phase.

2026 Capital Expenditures Forecast

In 2026, the Company plans to invest between $515 million to $550 million in capital expenditures, comprised of $320 million to $340 million of sustaining capital and $195 million to $210 million of project capital.

In 2026, the Company's project capital is largely invested in the following areas:

• Jacobina - to complete process plant optimization projects and continue advancing mine and plant optimization studies, including investments in initial underground infrastructure advancements, mine fleet expansions and exploration initiatives.

• La Colorada - for continued exploration and in-fill drilling, advancing engineering work and initial mine infrastructure early works mobilization at the Skarn project, and for exploration and underground development in the deep eastern extensions of the Candelaria mineralized structure.

• Timmins - to initiate construction of the Phase 6 tailings expansion, advance studies and initial underground development of the Bell Creek shaft extension, and to continue exploration activities and preliminary engineering studies at satellite deposits.

• Huaron - to advance development to establish a higher inventory of developed stopes to provide greater mine flexibility and increase production, and for exploration activities targeted at deep extensions of the deposit.

• Cerro Moro - for exploration activities and a tailings storage facility expansion aimed at extending life-of-mine.
  
  
  
  
• Juanicipio - to advance the conveyor haulage system aimed at reducing costs and optimizing long term margins.
  
  
  
  
• Shahuindo - for land purchases and exploration aimed at potential extensions to the life-of-mine.

2026 Exploration Forecast

Pan American plans to spend approximately $132 million to $135 million on capitalized and expensed exploration in 2026, drilling a total of 600,000 metres directed at:

• $55 million on brownfield exploration targeting resource and reserve replacement. These expenditures are included in the sustaining capital estimates in the table below.

• $55 million on project-related exploration across the portfolio. The priorities in 2026 are the satellite projects around Timmins, including Whitney, Samson and Vogel, as well as drilling to expand the resource base at Jacobina and the La Colorada Skarn. These expenditures are included in the project capital estimates in the table below.

• $22 million to $25 million on regional exploration, property holding costs and project development expenses, primarily directed at drilling in Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Chile.

Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures

In this news release, we refer to measures that are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS as an indicator of performance, and may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions. These non-GAAP financial measures include:

• AISC per silver or gold ounce sold, net of by-product credits. Pan American has adopted AISC as a measure of its consolidated operating performance and its ability to generate cash from all operations collectively, and Pan American believes it is a more comprehensive measure of the cost of operating our consolidated business than traditional cash costs per payable ounce, as it includes the cost of replacing ounces through exploration, the cost of ongoing capital investments (sustaining capital), general and administrative expenses, as well as other items that affect Pan American's consolidated earnings and cash flow.

• Total available liquidity is calculated as the sum of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and the amount available on the Company's revolving credit facility. Total available liquidity does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate the liquid assets available to Pan American.

Readers should refer to the "Alternative Performance (non-GAAP) Measures" section of Pan American's MD&A for the period ended September 30, 2025 for a more detailed discussion of these and other non-GAAP measures and their calculation.
