Year End Financial and Operating Results Overview ⁽¹⁾

2018 Production was ahead of plan: Annual gold production of 349,147 ounces of gold (2017: 292,971 ounces) including 35,350 ounces of pre-commercial production from Lamaque.
◦ Exceeded original 2018 guidance of 290,000 – 330,000 ounces of gold.
2019 guidance increased ~27% year on year: 2019 guidance is 390,000 – 420,000 ounces of gold (per January 30, 2019 press release).
Progress at Lamaque: A total of 35,350 pre-commercial ounces were produced during the year, including the first gold pour from ore processed in the Sigma Mill in December 2018. $189.9 million in capital, including capitalized exploration was spent at Lamaque in 2018, offset by $39.7 million in pre-commercial revenues. The Company expects to be in commercial operation at Lamaque in Q1 2019.
Revenue growth: Total revenue from continuing operations during the year was $459.0 million (2017: $391.4 million). Gold revenue from continuing operations was $386.0 million (2017: $333.3 million) on sales of 304,256 ounces of gold at an average realized gold price of $1,269 per ounce (2017: 264,080 ounces at $1,262 per ounce).
Increased cash flow provided by continuing operations: Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $66.3 million in 2018 (2017: $30.8 million).
Cash operating costs consistent with guidance: Cash operating costs were $625 per ounce sold for 2018 (2017: $509 per ounce) and were in-line with expectations of $600-650 per ounce for 2018.
Continued solid financial liquidity: The Company closed the year with total liquidity of approximately $543 million, including $293 million in cash, cash equivalents and term deposits, and $250 million in an undrawn line of credit.
Net loss attributable to shareholders: 2018 Net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company from continuing operations was $361.9 million or $2.28 per share, mainly attributable to impairment adjustments of $447.8 for Olympias and Kisladag. Net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company from continuing operations in 2017 was $7.1 million or $0.07 per share. Adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company in 2018 was $28.6 million, or $0.17 per share (2017: Adjusted net earnings attributed to shareholders of the Company of $15.2 million, or $0.10 per share).
Startup of Olympias: Olympias declared commercial production on December 31, 2017. In 2018, a total of 322,659 tonnes of ore were processed with an average grade of 7.75 g/t Au, resulting in 46,750 payable ounces of gold produced, at operating cash costs of $764 per ounce sold.
Kisladag Heap Leach: After the decision to suspend placement of ore on the pad in Q2 2018, recoveries continued to improve, resulting in production of 172,009 ounces for the year. In Q3 2018, as a result of the completion of the feasibility study and the Board approval to advance the Kisladag mill project, a review of the useful lives of the Kisladag heap leach assets resulted in an impairment charge of $117.6 million ($94.1 million net of deferred income tax) recognized during the third quarter. In January 2019, the Company announced the decision to suspend the mill project and resume mining by the end of Q1 2019.
Free cash flow from resumption of mining and heap leaching at Kisladag: Will provide the opportunity to consider initial debt retirement starting later in 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Highlights

First gold poured at Lamaque: A total of 16,046 ounces of gold were produced during the quarter, including the first gold pour from ore processed in the Sigma Mill in December.
Steady cash operating costs: Q4 cash operating costs of $626 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of $1,200 per ounce including $21 per ounce in non-cash operating costs from inventory change, were in line with Q4 2017 ($577 per ounce and $1,104 per ounce, respectively, for 2017).
Updated Reserves and Resources: As of September 30, 2018, total Proven and Probable Reserves of 389 million tonnes at 1.35 grams per tonne gold containing 16.9 million ounces were reported.
◦ Added new reserves of 60,000 ounces of gold at Lamaque
◦ Replaced depletion of 80,000 ounces of gold at Efemcukuru
◦ Added 572,000 ounces of gold to the Lamaque Inferred Resources which now total 1.8 million ounces of gold.
◦ Maiden Inferred Resource at Bolcana in Romania of 381 million tonnes at 0.53 grams per tonne gold and 0.18% copper containing 6.5 million ounces of gold and 686,000 tonnes of copper.
Share consolidation: In December 2018, the Company completed a 5:1 consolidation of its common shares.

Eldorado’s President and CEO,
George Burns, stated: “As a result of the team’s hard work in 2018, we are well positioned to grow annual gold production to over 500,000 ounces in 2020. We expect this will allow us to generate significant free cash flow and provide us with the opportunity to consider debt retirement later this year.

“The restart of mining and heap leaching at Kisladag is a key part of our path forward. With improved heap leach recoveries, we expect our revised plan will provide increased free cash flow over the next three years.

“Eldorado’s growth is also supported by the strong momentum at Lamaque. Less than two years after we acquired the asset, we are set to begin commercial gold production later this quarter. We expect total output at Lamaque, including pre-commercial production, in excess of 100,000 ounces in 2019. We continue to focus on expansion possibilities through resource conversion, exploration drilling and increasing mill feed at this core asset.

“Looking ahead, I am confident about our future. Eldorado is a focused gold producer with strong assets and a team that is committed to driving long-term shareholder value.”

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Total revenue of $459.0 million, represented a 17% increase over 2017 revenue of $391.4 million due to increased gold production. The realized gold price in 2018 was $1,269 per ounce, marginally higher than the realized gold price of $1,262 per ounce in 2017.

Operating cash costs per ounce sold in 2018 averaged $625, an increase from $509 in 2017, mainly reflecting the impact of the first year of operations at Olympias in 2018 where operating cash costs per ounce sold were $764 for the year. Operating cash costs in 2018 were also impacted by a higher non-cash inventory change at Kisladag during the year. Operating cash costs per ounce sold at Kisladag were $662 in 2018, compared to $500 in 2017, the increase due primarily to the non-cash inventory change impact of $309 per ounce sold as a result of lower inventory on the pad in 2018.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures decreased from $38.3 million in 2017 to $33.8 million in 2018. The decrease for both the year and fourth quarter reflected the exploration focus on brownfields resource expansion at the Company's mining operations and development projects during 2018. General and administrative expenses of $46.8 million in 2018 decreased 14% from $54.6 million in 2017.

Deferred tax recovery was $86.5 million for 2018 due to the impairment adjustments recorded for Kisladag and Olympias, together with a 1% decrease in the Greece corporate income tax rate. The corporate income tax rate in Greece was 29% in 2018 and will gradually decrease 1% each year to 25% by 2022.

Net Loss to Shareholders
In 2018 the net loss to shareholders from continuing operations was $361.9 million, ($2.28 per share) compared to net loss from continuing operations of $7.1 million and a net loss from discontinuing operations of $2.8 million in 2017, reflective of the impairment charge of $330.2 million ($247.7 million net of deferred tax) at Olympias in Q4 2018, and the impairment charge related to Kisladag leach pad assets of $117.6 million ($94.1 million net of tax) in Q3 2018.

In Q4 2018, the Company recorded an impairment adjustment for Olympias of $330.2 million ($247.7 million net of deferred tax). The Company believes this is reflective of the continued jurisdictional risk with obtaining permits in Greece, and the recent softening of the global concentrate market. As a result, the net loss attributable to shareholders during the quarter was $218.2 million ($1.38 per share) as compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 of $20.7 million ($0.15 per share)

In 2018, the adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $28.6 million, compared to adjusted net earnings of $15.2 million in 2017, a reflection of higher production and gold price in Q4 2017.

The adjusted net loss from continuing operations in Q4 2018 was $18.9 million as compared to Q4 2017 adjusted net loss of $0.4 million. Adjusted net earnings for Q4 2018 were slightly lower year over year due to reduced sales volumes, and marginally lower gold prices, together with increased production costs due to first year of Olympias production.

⁽¹⁾Includes pre-commercial production in 2017 and 2018
⁽²⁾Includes pre-commercial production at Lamaque.
⁽³⁾The Company commenced reporting AISC by site in 2018.

Gold production in 2018 was 349,147 ounces up 19% year on year (2017: 292,971 ounces) due to increased production at Kisladag, commercial production at Olympias and pre-commercial production at Lamaque. Production at Efemcukuru remained in-line with 2017. Gold production in Q4 2018 was 75,887 ounces, down 10% quarter on quarter (Q4 2017: 83,887) due to lower production at Kisladag partially offset by increased production at Lamaque.

Except as otherwise noted, scientific and technical information contained in this press release was reviewed and approved by
Paul Skayman, FAusIMM, Chief Operating Officer for Eldorado Gold Corporation, and a "qualified person" under NI 43-101.

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. With respect to “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource”, there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource” used herein are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. In the United States, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made.
While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained herein concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies in SEC filings.

Accordingly, information herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under US federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
