____________________________
(1)Attributable gold ounces produced includes 66 and 52 thousand ounces for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 173 and 163 thousand ounces for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Attributable gold ounces produced also includes 43 thousand ounces and 99 thousand ounces, respectively, related to the Fruta del Norte mine, which is wholly owned by Lundin Gold, in which the Company holds a 31.9% interest at September 30, 2024 and is accounted for as an equity method investment on a quarter lag.
(2)Attributable gold ounces sold excludes ounces related to the Pueblo Viejo mine and the Fruta del Norte mine.
(3)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price. Refer to Results of Consolidated Operations within Part I, Item 2, MD&A for further information.
(4)On June 7, 2023, the Company suspended its operations at Peñasquito due to the Union strike. As a result of the suspended operations, no production occurred during the third quarter of 2023. Sales activity recognized in the third quarter of 2023 is related to adjustments on provisionally priced concentrate sales subject to final settlement. Consequently, price per ounce/pound metrics are not meaningful ("N.M.").
(5)Excludes Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation.
(6)Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A.
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts, unless otherwise noted)
-
Net income:** Reported Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $873 or $0.76 per diluted share, an increase of $716 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to an increase to attributable net income related to the acquired Newcrest sites. Excluding the impact of acquired sites, the increase is primarily due to an increase in Sales at Peñasquito as a result of the work stoppage due to a labor strike that began in June 2023 ("Peñasquito labor strike"), resulting in no sales at Peñasquito in the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders increased due to higher average realized prices primarily for gold. This increase was partially offset by the Loss on assets held for sale of $115 and higher Costs applicable to sales.
-
