NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
Divestiture of Non-Core Assets
Based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets following the Newcrest acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project in February 2024. The non-core assets to be divested included Akyem, CC&V, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite, Telfer, and the Coffee development project in Canada. In February 2024, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024, based on progress made through the Company's active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months.
The Company completed the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and completed the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Akyem and Porcupine reportable segments to Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. and Discovery Silver Corp., respectively, for total pre-tax cash proceeds of $1,088, net of working capital adjustments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Akyem and Porcupine completed sales on its consolidated financial statements.
Refer to Note 3 for further information on divestitures.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead, and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; certain Derivative assets; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.
The Company's global operations expose it to risks associated with public health crises, geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures, including but not limited to inflationary conditions, as well as the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, supply chain disruptions resulting from global conflicts and other global events, an uncertain and evolving labor market and trade environment including tariff and regulatory changes.
Factors that could have further potential short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts on the Company include, but are not limited to, volatility in commodity prices and the prices for gold and other metals, changes in the equity and debt markets or country specific factors adversely impacting discount rates, significant cost inflation impacts on production, capital and asset retirement costs, logistical challenges, workforce interruptions and financial market disruptions, energy market disruptions, as well as potential impacts to estimated costs and timing of projects.
Refer to Note 18 below for further information on risks and uncertainties that could have a potential impact on the Company as well as Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Indemnification Liabilities
The Company has provided certain indemnifications in connection with divestitures. The indemnifications contingently require the Company, as guarantor, to make payments to the guaranteed party and are initially measured at the greater of fair value or the contingent liability amount to be recognized in accordance with ASC 450 and are included in Other non-current liabilities. For indemnifications provided in sales agreements, a portion of the sale proceeds is allocated to the guarantee, which adjusts the gain or loss that would otherwise result from the transaction. The subsequent accounting for the liability depends on the nature of the underlying guarantee. Indemnification liabilities are reduced as the Company is released from risk under the guarantee. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 450 continue to apply to the contingent loss portion of the guarantee unless the guarantee is accounted for as a derivative.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules
Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, ASU 2023-09 was issued which requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a qualitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025 and will be reflect the new disclosure requirements in its annual report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, ASU 2024-03 was issued, requiring additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements on the nature of certain expense captions presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 DIVESTITURES
Based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project in February 2024. The non-core assets to be divested included the CC&V, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore, Telfer, and Akyem reportable segments, and the Coffee development project which is included within the non-operating segment Corporate and Other. The Telfer disposal group also included the Havieron development project, which was 70% owned by the Company and accounted for under proportionate consolidation, and other related assets.
In February 2024, based on progress made through the Company's active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale and were recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. These assets are periodically valued until sale occurs with any resulting impact recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale.
The Company completed the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and completed the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025. The sale of the Akyem and Porcupine reportable segments closed in April 2025; refer to Note 1 for further information.
The Coffee reportable segment remains designated as held for sale at March 31, 2025. While the Company remains committed to a plan to sell this asset for a fair price, there is a possibility that the asset held for sale may exceed one year due to events or circumstances beyond the Company's control.
Gains or losses recognized on the completion of the sales are recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale. All sales agreements include transitional services support to be provided by the Company up to a one-year period following close. Gains recognized on the completed sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025 are summarized in the table below; value of consideration received and indemnifications provided represent the value at the time of close.

(6)A total net loss of $15 was recognized on the divestment of the CC&V reportable segment since designation as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024, of which a gain of $2 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This total loss includes a prior period write-down to recognize the assets held for sale of the CC&V reportable segment at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. No prior period write-downs were incurred on the Musselwhite or Éléonore reportable segments.
At March 31, 2025, assets held for sale consisted of the Akyem and Porcupine reportable segments, subsequently sold in April 2025, and the Coffee development project. At December 31, 2024, assets held for sale consisted of the CC&V, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore, and Akyem reportable segments and the Coffee development project.
The estimated fair values of assets held for sale are considered a non-recurring level 2 or 3 fair value measurements and were determined using (i) the market approach for disposal groups in which a binding sales agreement was in place but close had not yet occurred, or (ii) the income approach in the absence of a binding sales agreement. For fair values estimated using the income approach, the significant inputs at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included (i) cash flow information available to the Company, (ii) a long-term gold price of $1,900, (iii) current estimates of resources and exploration potential, and (iv) a reporting unit specific discount rate of 9.75%. Additional losses may be incurred as the Company continues to evaluate the definitive sales agreements, as the active sales program progresses, or as fair value estimates change.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale consisted of the following:

(1)Resulted in an aggregate net book value of the assets held for sale of $890 and $3,305 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(2)In 2024, a tax impact on write-downs of assets held for sale resulted in the establishment of a deferred tax asset, which increased the respective carrying values of the related disposal groups and resulted in an additional loss. In 2025, a tax impact on the reversal of prior write-downs of assets held for sale resulted in the reduction to the deferred tax asset, which decreased the respective carrying values of the related disposal group and resulted in an additional gain.
(3)Primarily consists of the impact of finalization of certain working capital adjustments on completed sales and certain costs incurred under the transitional services support agreements.

NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The reportable segments of the Company comprise each of its 13 mining operations that it manages, which includes its 70.0% proportionate interest in Red Chris, and its 38.5% proportionate interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") which it does not directly manage. Newmont consolidates Suriname Gold project C.V. (“Merian”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity. The reportable segments at March 31, 2025 include certain reportable segments that are designated as held for sale and exclude those which have been divested. Refer to Note 3 for further information.
In the following tables, Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. The Company's business activities and operating segments that are not considered reportable, including all equity method investments, are reported in the non-operating segment Corporate and Other, which has been provided for reconciliation purposes.
The CODM uses Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the mine operation or reallocate for other capital priorities under the Company's capital allocation strategy. Additionally, the CODM primarily uses this metric to assess performance of the segment, plan and forecast future business operations, and benchmark to competitors.

To minimize credit risk, the Company only enters into transactions with counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. The Company believes that the risk of counterparty default is low and its exposure to credit risk is minimal.
The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts will be reclassified to earnings immediately. For the foreign currency cash flow hedges related to capital expenditures, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Depreciation and amortization after the respective project reaches commercial production. For the foreign currency cash flow hedges related to operating expenditures, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales in the month that the operating expenditures are incurred.
Cadia PPA
The Cadia PPA is a 15-year renewable power purchase agreement acquired by the Company through the Newcrest transaction. The Company has designated the Cadia PPA as a cash flow hedge to mitigate the variability in cash flows related to approximately 40 percent of forecasted purchases of power at the Cadia mine for a 15-year period beginning in July 2024. Additionally, the Cadia PPA will provide the Company with access to large scale generation certificates which the Company intends to surrender to achieve a reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions.
To minimize credit risk, the Company only enters into transactions with counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. The Company believes that the risk of counterparty default is low and its exposure to credit risk is minimal.
The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings immediately. For the Cadia PPA cash flow hedge, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales the period in which the related hedged electricity is purchased, which began in July 2024.

Equity method investments
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Equity income (loss) of affiliates primarily consisted of income from Pueblo Viejo and Lundin Gold Inc. ("Lundin Gold") of $44 and $27, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Equity income (loss) of affiliates primarily consisted of income from Pueblo Viejo of $18.
Pueblo Viejo
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding stockholder loans to Pueblo Viejo of $500 and $486, with accrued interest of $29 and $19, respectively, included in the Pueblo Viejo equity method investment.
The Company purchases its portion (40%) of gold and silver produced from Pueblo Viejo at market price and resells those ounces to third parties. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $155 and $122 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These purchases, net of subsequent sales, are included in Other income (loss), net and the net amount is immaterial. There were no amounts due to or from Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchases as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Lundin Gold Inc.
Lundin Gold is accounted for on a quarterly lag. At March 31, 2025, the calculated fair value, based on quoted closing prices of publicly traded shares, of the Company's investment in Lundin Gold was $2,380.
The Company had the right to purchase 50% of gold produced from Lundin Gold at a price determined based on delivery dates and a defined quotational period and resold the ounces purchased to third parties under an offtake agreement acquired through the Newcrest transaction (the "Offtake agreement"). In the second quarter of 2024, the Company sold the Offtake agreement to Lundin Gold resulting in settlement of the rights under the Offtake agreement. As a result, no purchases were incurred for the first quarter of 2025.
For three months ended March 31, 2024, total payments made to Lundin Gold under the Offtake agreement for gold purchased were $80 and were recognized net of subsequent sales in Other income (loss), net with the net amount being immaterial. There was no payable due to Lundin Gold for gold purchases as of December 31, 2024.

Greatland
The Company acquired a 20% interest in Greatland, resulting in 2.7 billion shares, in connection with the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in December 2024. The Company accounts for its investment in Greatland as an equity method investment, included in Investments, for which the Company elected the fair value option as it believes it best reflects the economics of the underlying transaction. The shares are subject to a sale restriction period of one-year following the date of close.
The equity held in Greatland contains an option in which a third party has the ability to acquire 1.3 billion of the Company's Greatland shares at a set price exercisable for four years (the "Greatland Option"). The Greatland Option does not meet the definition of a derivative and is considered to be a financial liability, for which the Company has elected the fair value option. The Company believes the fair value option best reflects the economics of the underlying transaction. The Greatland Option is included in Other non-current liabilities at a fair value of $131 and $51 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Under the fair value option, changes in the fair value of the instrument are recognized through earnings each reporting period in Other income (loss), net.

NOTE 18 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 4. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in the non-operating segment Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the Yanacocha reportable segment. The CC&V matter relates to the CC&V reportable segment. The Goldcorp Canada matters relate to the Porcupine reportable segment. The Cadia matter relates to the Cadia reportable segment. The Newmont Ghana Gold and Newmont Golden Ridge matters relate to the Ahafo and Akyem reportable segments, respectively.
Environmental Matters
Refer to Note 6 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain significant matters are discussed below.
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 100% Newmont Owned
In early 2015 and again in June 2017, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, MINAM, issued proposed modifications to water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria modified the in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure. In December 2015, MINAM issued the final regulation that modified the water quality standards. These Peruvian regulations allow time to formulate a compliance plan and make any necessary changes to achieve compliance.
In February 2017, Yanacocha submitted a modification to its previously approved compliance achievement plan to the MINEM. In May 2022, Yanacocha submitted a proposed modification to this plan requesting an extension of time for coming into full compliance with the new regulations to 2027. In June 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM and was granted an extension to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company appealed this approval to the Mining Council requesting the regulatory extension until 2027, and in April 2024, MINEM approved the compliance schedule.
The Company currently operates five water treatment plants at Yanacocha that have been and currently meet all currently applicable water discharge requirements. The Company’s current asset retirement obligation includes the construction of two new water treatment plants expected to be in operation during 2027 and post-closure management.
The Company is conducting detailed studies to better estimate water management and other closure activities that will ensure water quality and quantity discharge requirements, including the modifications promulgated by MINAM, as referenced above, will be met. This also includes performing a comprehensive update to the Yanacocha reclamation plan to address changes in closure activities and estimated closure costs while preserving optionality for potential future projects at Yanacocha. These ongoing studies, which will extend beyond the current year, continue to evaluate and revise assumptions and estimated costs of changes to the reclamation plan. The ultimate water treatment costs remain uncertain as studies and opportunity assessments continue. These and other additional risks and contingencies that are the subject of ongoing studies, including, but not limited to, a comprehensive review of the Company's tailings storage facility management, review of Yanacocha’s water balance and water management system, and review of post-closure management costs, could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha.

Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC - 100% Newmont owned through February 28, 2025
In December 2021, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC (“CC&V”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “Division”) with a mutual objective of resolving issues associated with the new discharge permits issued by the Division in January 2021 for the Carlton Tunnel. The Carlton Tunnel was a historic tunnel completed in 1941 with the purpose of draining the southern portion of the mining district, subsequently consolidated by CC&V. CC&V has held discharge permits for the Carlton Tunnel since 1983, primarily to focus on monitoring, with the monitoring data accumulated since the mid-1970s indicating consistency in the water quality discharged from the Carlton Tunnel over time. In 2006, legal proceedings and work with the regulator confirmed that the water flowing out of the Carlton Tunnel portal is akin to natural spring water and did not constitute mine drainage. However, this changed with the January 2021 permit updates, when the regulator imposed new water quality limits. The Settlement Agreement involves the evaluation of a reasonable and achievable timeline for treatment and permit compliance, acknowledging the lack of readily available technology, and the need to spend three years to study and select the technological solution, with three additional years to construct, bringing full permit compliance to the November 2027 timeframe. In 2022, the Company studied various interim passive water treatment options, reported the study results to the Division, and based on an evaluation of additional semi-passive options that involve the usage of power at the portal, updated the remediation liability to $20 in 2022. CC&V continues to study alternative long-term remediation plans for water discharged from the Carlton Tunnel, and is also working with regulators on the Discharger Specific Variance ("DSV") to identify highest feasible alternative treatment in the context, based on limits such as area topography. CC&V formally submitted its proposal for the DSV and the matter will be presented to the Water Quality Control Commission in a June 2025 rulemaking hearing. Depending on the outcome of the hearing and the plans that may ultimately be agreed with the Division, a material adjustment to the remediation liability may be required. On February 28, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the CC&V reportable segment to SSR. Under the terms of the agreement with SSR, Newmont expects to receive deferred cash contingent consideration upon certain regulatory approvals, one of which being resolution of regulatory applications relating to the Carlton Tunnel. In addition, upon completion of an updated regulator-approved closure plan and in the event aggregate closure costs at CC&V exceed $500, Newmont will be responsible for funding 90% of the incremental closure costs in such updated closure plan, either on an as-incurred basis or pursuant to a net present value lump sum payment option. Refer to Note 3 for further information on the sale of the CC&V reportable segment.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 58.19% Newmont Owned
Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the EPA.
As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its past costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be responsible for all future EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.
During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process, with the exception of the new WTP design which was awaiting the approval of the new NPDES permit. Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. The EPA approved the WTP design in 2021. Construction of the effluent pipeline began in 2021, and construction of the new WTP began in 2022. The WTP and effluent pipeline are expected to be operating in 2026.
The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health (the "WDOH") and is in the process of being closed in accordance with the federal Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act, and associated Washington state regulations. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activities consist primarily of finalizing an Alternative Concentration Limit application (the "ACL application") submitted in 2020 to the WDOH to address groundwater issues, and also evaporating the remaining balance of process water at the site. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the WDOH provided comments on the ACL application, which Newmont is evaluating and conducting studies to better understand and respond to the comments provided by the WDOH. These studies and the related comment process will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the remediation obligation.
The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $163, assumed 100% by Newmont, at March 31, 2025.
Goldcorp Canada Ltd. - 100% Newmont
Porcupine mine site. The Porcupine complex is comprised of active open pit and underground mining operations as well as inactive, legacy sites from its extensive history of mining gold in and around the city of Timmins, Ontario since the early 1900s. As a

result of these primarily historic mining activities, there are mine hazards in the area that could require some form of reclamation. The Company conducted studies to better catalog, prioritize, and update its existing information of these historical mine hazards, to inform its closure plans and estimated closure costs.
Refer to Note 1 for further information regarding the recently completed sale of the Porcupine reportable segment on April 15, 2025. Pursuant to the sale, this reclamation obligation transferred to the buyer.
Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. - 100% Newmont Owned
Cadia mine site. Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Cadia Holdings”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Newcrest, which was acquired by Newmont in November 2023. The mine site is subject to regulations by the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (the “NSW EPA”). In October 2023, the NSW EPA commenced proceedings in the NSW Land and Environment Court against Cadia Holdings, alleging two contraventions related to alleged air pollution from tailings storage facilities on October 13 and 31, 2022. In 2024, Cadia Holdings entered a plea of not guilty to the charges related to the allegations. These proceedings have been adjourned for further directions in May 2025.
Other Legal Matters
Newmont Corporation, as well as Newmont Canada Corporation, and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC – 100% Newmont Owned
Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022 (still referred to herein as “Kirkland” for ease of reference), owns certain mining and mineral rights in northeastern Ontario, Canada, referred to here as the Holt-McDermott property, on which it suspended operations in April 2020. A subsidiary of the Company has a retained royalty obligation (“Holt royalty obligation”) to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”) for production on the Holt-McDermott property. In August 2020, the Company and Kirkland signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Kirkland Agreement”). As part of the Kirkland Agreement, the Company purchased an option (the “Holt option”) for $75 from Kirkland for the mining and mineral rights subject to the Holt royalty obligation. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations and process material subject to the obligation. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate.
On August 16, 2021, International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold, filed an action in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia against Newmont Corporation, Newmont Canada Corporation, Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC (collectively "Newmont"), and certain Kirkland defendants (collectively "Kirkland"). IRC alleges the Kirkland Agreement is oppressive to the interests of Royal Gold under the Nova Scotia Companies Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act, and that, by entering into the Kirkland Agreement, Newmont breached its contractual obligations to Royal Gold. IRC seeks declaratory relief, and $350 in alleged royalty payments that it claims Newmont expected to pay under the Holt royalty obligation, but for the Kirkland Agreement. Kirkland filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case against it, which the court granted in October 2022. Newmont submitted its statement of defense on February 27, 2023, and a motion for summary judgment on January 12, 2024. The motion for summary judgment was denied on May 27, 2024, and the parties are now engaged in the discovery phase of the case. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited - 100% Newmont Owned (through April 15, 2025, in respect to Newmont Golden Ridge Limited)
On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament; NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliamentary ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliamentary ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome. On April 15, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Akyem reportable segment. Refer to Note 1 for further information. In the case of an adverse final judgment pursuant to a non-appealable governmental order, if any, the Company would be required to indemnify the buyer for certain fines, penalties and disgorgements attributable to the period from the date of the Company’s commencement of commercial production under the mining leases in October 2013 to the date on which the mining leases were ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015.

Newmont Capital Limited and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC – 100% Newmont Owned
The Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) is conducting a limited review of the Company’s prior year tax returns. The ATO is reviewing an internal reorganization executed in 2011 when Newmont completed a restructure of the shareholding in the Company’s Australian subsidiaries. To date, the Company has responded to inquiries from the ATO and provided them with supporting documentation for the transaction and the Company’s associated tax positions. One aspect of the ATO review relates to an Australian capital gains tax that applies to sales or transfers of stock in certain types of entities. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the ATO notified the Company that it believed the 2011 reorganization was subject to capital gains tax of approximately $85 (including interest and penalties). The Company disputed this conclusion and is vigorously defending its position that the transaction is not subject to this tax. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made a $24 payment to the ATO and lodged an appeal with the Australian Federal Court. The court proceedings were held during the third quarter of 2024 and the Company is currently awaiting the judgement, which is expected during the second quarter of 2025. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
Newmont Corporation and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. – 100% Newmont Owned
On November 20, 2024, Taykwa Tagamou Nation (“TTN") filed a Statement of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Ontario government, as well as Newmont Corporation and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (collectively “Newmont”), alleging that the resumption of open pit mining at the Pamour mine in Timmins, Ontario, Canada would be without proper consultation or consideration of the cumulative impacts of TTN’s traditional territory and Aboriginal rights, and as such, the associated environmental permits previously issued by the Ontario government with respect to Pamour ought to be revoked. TTN is seeking, amongst other things: (i) a stay of all activities authorized under the permits until the case is resolved, (ii) a declaration that Ontario breached its duty to consult and violated Treaty No. 9, and section 35 of the Constitution Act (Canada) 1982, and (iii) general and aggravated damages. Newmont remains steadfast in its commitment to foster meaningful and productive relationships with First Nation communities in Canada, and had undertaken appropriate consultations with various community stakeholders, including TTN and other First Nation groups in the Timmins area – as such, the permits were properly issued by the government. Newmont is vigorously defending this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Newmont Corporation
Karas v. Newmont Corp., et al. On January 31, 2025, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Newmont and Newmont’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The action was brought on behalf of an alleged class of Newmont stockholders who owned stock between February 22, 2024 and October 23, 2024 (the alleged class period). Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made a series of materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions during the alleged class period regarding the Company’s projected revenue outlook and ability to deliver higher grades of gold and mineral production in violation of federal securities laws. Plaintiffs further allege that the purported class members suffered losses and damages resulting from declines in the market value of Newmont’s common stock after the Company announced its third quarter 2024 results and updated guidance on October 23, 2024. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome. On April 1, 2025, certain putative class members filed motions to be appointed lead plaintiffs in the case.
Gunderson v. Palmer et al.; Levin v. Palmer et al.; Chin v. Palmer et al.; and Harris v. Palmer et al. On February 21, February 28, March 20, and April 4, 2025, respectively, purported Newmont stockholders filed putative derivative complaints nominally on behalf of Newmont against Newmont’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and members of Newmont’s Board of Directors, naming Newmont as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. While the allegations and asserted claims vary among the actions, the complaints, taken collectively, generally raise similar allegations as the complaint in Karas with respect to the same or similar statements regarding the Company’s business, as well as, among other things, allegations that the Company lacked adequate internal controls and oversight over risk management, made materially false and misleading statements in the Company’s 2024 proxy statement, and that there were improper share repurchases by the Company and stock sales by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during the period February 22, 2024 to October 23, 2024, and assert claims under federal securities law (other than in the Chin case) and Delaware state law. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages, restitution, disgorgement and other relief, including reforms to the Company’s corporate governance. On March 19, 2025, on motion from plaintiffs in Gunderson and Levin, the court consolidated Levin into Gunderson, and appointed lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case.
Newmont intends to vigorously defend these matters, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of any matter.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $2,341 and $2,086, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing

operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In connection with the Company's investment in Galore Creek, Newmont will owe NovaGold Resources Inc. $75 upon the earlier of approval to construct a mine, mill and all related infrastructure for the Galore Creek project or the initiation of construction of a mine, mill or related infrastructure. The amount due is non-interest bearing. The decision for an approval and commencement of construction is contingent on the results of a prefeasibility study which is currently under way and feasibility study which has not yet occurred.

Divestiture of Non-Core Assets
Based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets following the Newcrest acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project in February 2024. The non-core assets to be divested included CC&V, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore, Telfer, Akyem, and the Coffee development project in Canada. In February 2024, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024, based on progress made through our active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months. While the Company remains committed to a plan to sell these assets for a fair price, there is a possibility that the assets held for sale may exceed one year due to events or circumstances beyond the Company's control.
The Company completed the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and completed the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Akyem and Porcupine reportable segments to Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. and Discovery Silver Corp., respectively, for total pre-tax cash proceeds of $1,088, net of working capital adjustments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Akyem and Porcupine completed sales on its consolidated financial statements.
Assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell and are periodically valued until sale occurs with any resulting gain or loss recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale. Additionally, gains or losses recognized on the completion of the sale are recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale.
As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 a gain of $276 was recognized within (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale primarily resulting from the completion of the sales of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, a loss of $485 was recognized within (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale consisting of write-downs on assets held for sale of $352 and a resulting tax impact of $133.
Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on divestitures.
Consolidated Financial Results
The details of our Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders are set forth below:

| Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted | $ | 1.68 | $ | 0.15 | $ | 1.53 |
The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) an increase in Sales resulting from higher average realized gold prices, (ii) a net gain recognized within (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale largely resulting from the completion of the sales of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments compared to a loss in the prior period as a result of write-downs on assets held for sale, and (iii) an increase in unrealized gains on the change in fair value of investments and options. This increase was partially offset by the increase in income tax expense recognized within Income and mining tax benefit (expense).
The details and analyses of our Sales for all periods presented are set forth below. Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Costs applicable to sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was in-line with same period in 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in Costs applicable to sales at Ahafo due to higher third-party royalties, offset by a decease in Costs applicable to sales resulting from the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The decrease in Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization beginning in March 2024 for sites classified as held for sale, partially offset by higher depreciation rates at Peñasquito as a result of higher gold ounces mined and higher depreciation rates from change in reserves.
For discussion regarding other significant drivers impacting Depreciation and amortization by site, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was $79 and $93 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the reduction in Debt which was driven by the full redemption the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes and the partial redemption of certain senior notes. Refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $647 and $260 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the USD and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. Refer to Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

(2)In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for income taxes is adjusted to equal the consolidated tax rate.
(3)The consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to our combined effective income tax rate.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has issued the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (“Pillar II”) which generally provides for multinational organizations to have a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which they operate, which went into effect in 2024. As Newmont primarily does business in jurisdictions with a tax rate greater than 15%, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces ("GEO") metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead, and zinc. 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, using the metal prices in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue. Despite selling gold and silver in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.
Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies. Approximately 59% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the USD during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | |||||||||||
| Australian dollar | 24 | % | |||||||||
| Canadian dollar | 14 | % | |||||||||
| Mexican peso | 8 | % | |||||||||

| Surinamese dollar | 3 | % | |||||||||
| Argentine peso | 3 | % | |||||||||
| Peruvian sol | 1 | % | |||||||||
| Ghanaian cedi | — | % |
Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales at sites by $35 per gold ounce during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to currency devaluation in Mexico and Argentina.
Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce by $48, primarily in Mexico, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
At March 31, 2025, the Company held AUD- and CAD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD- and CAD-denominated operating expenditures to be incurred between October 2024 and December 2026 at certain sites, respectively. The unrealized changes in fair value for the fixed forward contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales. Refer to Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our hedging instruments.
Hyperinflationary Economies
Hyperinflationary economies are defined by the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") as economies in which the projected three-year cumulative inflation exceeds 100%. At March 31, 2025, hyperinflationary economies in which the Company held operations included Ghana, Argentina, and Suriname.
Ghana. Our Ahafo and Akyem mines are located in Ghana and are USD functional currency entities. In 2021, the Bank of Ghana created a gold purchase program in the effort to stabilize the local currency and build up gold reserves through domestic gold purchases conducted in local currency at prevailing market rates. As the gold purchase program was voluntary, there was no significant impact to our operations. The majority of Ahafo and Akyem’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2025, the Company completed the sale of Akyem reportable segment. Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Argentina. Our Cerro Negro mine is located in Argentina and is a USD functional currency entity. Beginning in 2020, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, including requiring the Company to convert USD proceeds from metal sales to local currency within 60 days from shipment date or 20 business days from receipt of cash, whichever happens first, as well as restricting payments to foreign-related entities denominated in foreign currency, such as dividends or distributions to the parent and related companies and royalties and other payments to foreign beneficiaries. These
restrictions directly impact Cerro Negro's ability to repay intercompany debt to the Company. In the third quarter of 2024, certain restrictions were lifted or modified, allowing companies to repay intercompany debt in certain circumstances.
In April 2025, the IMF Executive Board approved a 48-month, $20 billion extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility for Argentina. Within the program objectives, the IMF expressly mentions transitioning toward exchange rate flexibility, while gradually lifting foreign currency restrictions. The new exchange rate regime allows the Argentine peso to float within a moving band of 1,000 to 1,400 pesos per USD, expanding by 1% monthly at both limits. The central bank can intervene if the band is breached and may operate in secondary peso markets within the band. This managed float led to an immediate devaluation of the Argentine Peso. Further, a series of foreign currency restrictions have been lifted, including allowing companies to transfer to their foreign shareholders profits and dividends corresponding to fiscal years that began on or after January 1, 2025, provided applicable requirements are met.
We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the evolution of currency controls, which are currently not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Suriname. Our Merian mine is located in Suriname and is a USD functional currency entity. In 2021, the Central Bank took steps to stabilize the local currency, while the government introduced new legislation to narrow the gap between government revenues and spending. The measures to increase government revenue mainly consist of tax increases; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place that supersedes such measures. The Central Bank of Suriname adopted a controlled floating rate system, which resulted in a concurrent devaluation of the Surinamese dollar. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Surinamese dollar is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We have a disciplined capital allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for our stockholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.
The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, we continue to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market and trade environment including tariff and regulatory changes. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of these events, or changes in commodity prices, the prices for gold and other metals, and foreign exchange rates, we could continue to experience volatility; transportation industry disruptions could continue, including limitations on shipping produced metals; our supply chain could continue to experience disruption; cost inflation rates could further increase; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2025, we believe our available liquidity allows us to manage the short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts of these events on our business. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had $4,765 of cash and cash equivalents, of which $4,698 was included in Cash and cash equivalents and $67 was included in Assets held for sale related to certain non-core assets that were classified as held for sale*.* The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid and low-risk investments with original maturities of three months or less that are available to fund our operations as necessary. We may have investments in prime money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents; however, we continually monitor the need for reclassification under the SEC requirements for money market funds, and the potential that the shares of such funds could have a net asset value of less than their par value. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.
At March 31, 2025, $1,363 of Cash and cash equivalents was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in USD-denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to USD. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentine peso are subject to regulatory restrictions. Refer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At March 31, 2025, $920 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with any potential withholding taxes.
We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2025, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $4,000 and we had no borrowings outstanding. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and do not currently anticipate
any events or circumstances that would impact our ability to access funds available on this facility. Refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our Debt.

(1)During the first quarter of 2024, certain non-core assets were determined to meet the criteria for assets held for sale. As a result, the related Cash and cash equivalents was reclassified to Assets held for sale. Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $2,031 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase in cash provided of $1,255 from the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in Sales resulting from higher average realized gold prices in 2025, a decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of sales and shipments, and payment of $291 made in the first quarter of 2024 for stamp duty tax related to the Newcrest transaction with no similar transaction in 2025, partially offset by higher cash taxes paid in 2025.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $738 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase in cash provided of $1,536 from the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the sales of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in 2025, partially offset by payment of $116 to the Worsley JV in relation to the Bauxite agreement in 2025. Refer to Notes 3 and 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information, respectively.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(1,662) during the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase in cash used of $1,363 from the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher redemptions of debt and repurchases of common stock in 2025. Refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Debt transactions.
Capital Resources
In April 2025, the Board declared a dividend of $0.25 per share. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the full discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
In February 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to provide returns to stockholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased under the new program does not exceed $1 billion. This program has been completed. In October 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2 billion stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock. The program will expire after 24 months (in October 2026).
The programs will be executed at the Company’s discretion, utilizing open market repurchases to occur from time to time throughout the authorization period. The repurchase programs may be discontinued at any time, and the programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount during the authorization period. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future. Through the date of filing, we have executed and settled total trades of common stock repurchases under the previously authorized programs of $2,001, of which $348 was repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Capital Expenditures
Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. Our near-term development capital projects include Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, and the Cadia Panel Caves. These projects are being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows.
We consider sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations, where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are considered non-sustaining or development capital. The Company’s decision to reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project, which may include returning mining concessions to host governments, could result in a future impairment charge.
For additional information on our capital expenditures, refer to Part II, Item 7, Liquidity and Capital Resources of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had Additions to property, plant and mine development, inclusive of capitalized interest, as follows:

The Company will from time to time enter into hedging relationships to mitigate variability in development capital spend denominated in foreign currency. The Company has entered into A$1,365 AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts, designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures related to the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, and Cadia Tailings projects expected to be incurred between October 2024 and December 2026. Refer to Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Debt
Debt and Corporate Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company from time to time will redeem its outstanding senior notes ahead of their scheduled maturity dates utilizing Cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, depending upon market conditions and strategic considerations, we may choose to refinance debt in the capital markets.
In February 2025, the Company fully redeemed all of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $13 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, recognized in Other income (loss), net.

The redemption price equaled the principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes of $928 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $19 in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes, and a make-whole provision of $10.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company redeemed an aggregate amount of $53 of certain senior notes, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $3 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 recognized in Other income (loss), net.
Debt Covenants. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025, for information regarding our debt covenants. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults.
Refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Co-Issuer and Supplemental Guarantor Information. The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries.
Newmont and Newcrest Finance Pty Ltd ("Newcrest Finance"), as issuers, and Newmont USA, as guarantor, are collectively referred to here-within as the "Obligor Group".
These guarantees are full and unconditional, and none of our other subsidiaries guarantee any security issued and outstanding. The cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group, and all of its subsidiaries, is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from subsidiaries, including funds at subsidiaries classified as assets held for sale, by dividend, loan, or otherwise, except to the extent of any rights of noncontrolling interests or regulatory restrictions limiting repatriation of cash. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $183 and $181 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newcrest Finance is a finance subsidiary with no material assets or operations other than those related to issued external debt. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these and our other operations, refer to Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Results of Consolidated Operations within Part I, Item 2, MD&A.
In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s balance sheets consisted primarily of the following intercompany assets, intercompany liabilities, and external debt. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| At March 31, 2025 | At December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Obligor Group | Newmont USA | Obligor Group | Newmont USA | ||||||||||||||||||||

Newmont USA's subsidiary guarantees (the “subsidiary guarantees”) are general unsecured senior obligations of Newmont USA and rank equal in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's future subordinated indebtedness. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont USA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
At March 31, 2025, Newmont USA had approximately $7,500 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.
Under the terms of the subsidiary guarantees, holders of Newmont’s securities subject to such subsidiary guarantees will not be required to exercise their remedies against Newmont before they proceed directly against Newmont USA.
Newmont USA will be released and relieved from all its obligations under the subsidiary guarantees in certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:
-
upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates);
-
upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates); or
-
upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at March 31, 2025, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).
Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At March 31, 2025, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $7,986, none of which was secured (other than $479 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $7,861 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany and external debt and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.
For further information on our debt, refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2024.

Environmental
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly.
For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Part II, Item 7, Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the headings Environmental and “Critical Accounting Estimates” and refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
Our sustainability strategy is a foundational element in achieving our purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. Sustainability and safety are integrated into the business at all levels of the organization through
our global policies, standards, strategies, business plans and remuneration plans. For additional information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Notes 6 and 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from Debt and Lease and other financing obligations as these could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt and Lease and other financing obligations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to Net debt.
| At March 31, 2025 | At December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Debt | $ | 7,507 | $ | 8,476 | |||||||
| Lease and other financing obligations | 479 | 496 | |||||||||
| Less: Cash and cash equivalents | (4,698) | (3,619) | |||||||||
| Less: Cash and cash equivalents included in assets held for sale (1) | (67) | (45) | |||||||||
| Net debt | $ | 3,221 | $ | 5,308 |
____________________________
(1)During the first quarter of 2024, certain non-core assets were determined to meet the criteria for assets held for sale. As a result, the related Cash and cash equivalents was reclassified to Assets held for sale. Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
