(3)Excludes Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation.
(4)Calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively.
(5)All AISC figures are presented on a co-product basis; costs are allocated to co-product metals based upon the relative sales value, determined using GEO pricing, of gold and other metals produced during the period. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce, per pound, and per tonne amounts, unless otherwise noted)
-
Net income:** Reported Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders of $3,262 or $3.00 per diluted share, an increase of $1,371 from the prior-year quarter is primarily due to a net increase in Sales, largely reflecting increased average realized gold and silver prices, and lower Costs applicable to sales, primarily due to the impact from divestitures. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher Income and mining tax benefit (expense) and a decrease in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale due to the completion of our divestment program in 2025.
-
Adjusted net income:** Reported Adjusted net income (loss) of $3,156 or $2.90 per diluted share, an increase of $1.65 per diluted share from the prior-year quarter (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
-
Adjusted EBITDA:** Reported $5,154 in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of 96% from the prior-year quarter (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
-
Cash flow:** Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of $3,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 86% from the prior year, and Free cash flow of $3,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
-
Portfolio updates:** Received cash proceeds of $358 related to the equity sales of Greatland Resources Limited and SolGold plc and deferred consideration related to the Musselwhite and CC&V divestments.
-
Attributable production:** Produced 1.3 million attributable ounces of gold and 258 thousand attributable gold equivalent ounces from co-products (30 thousand tonnes of copper, 9 million ounces of silver, 27 thousand tonnes of lead, and 62 thousand tonnes of zinc).
-
Financial strength:** Ended the quarter with $8,775 of consolidated cash and $12,775 of total liquidity; redeemed $42 of senior notes and repurchased $1,895 of common stock. In April, settled an additional $556 of share repurchases, declared a dividend of $0.26 per share, and authorized an additional $6,000 stock repurchase program.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.(dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts)
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the USD; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper, silver, lead, and zinc also affect our profitability and cash flow. These metals are traded on established international exchanges and prices generally reflect market supply and demand but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates. The Company does not currently hold instruments that are designated to hedge against the potential impacts due to market price changes in metals. Consideration of these impacts are discussed below.
Decreases in the market price of metals can significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact the carrying value of our long-lived assets and goodwill. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, for information regarding the sensitivity of our impairment analyses over long-lived assets and goodwill to changes in metal prices.
Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at March 31, 2026 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, and the following short-term and long-term assumptions:
| Short-Term | Long-Term | ||||||||||
| Gold price (per ounce) | $ | 4,873 | $ | 2,500 | |||||||
| Copper price (per pound) | $ | 5.83 | $ | 4.00 | |||||||
| Silver price (per ounce) | $ | 84.33 | $ | 25.00 | |||||||
| Lead price (per pound) | $ | 0.88 | $ | 0.90 | |||||||
| Zinc price (per pound) | $ | 1.47 | $ | 1.25 | |||||||
| AUD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.70 | $ | 0.70 | |||||||
| CAD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.73 | $ | 0.75 | |||||||
| MXN to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.06 | $ | 0.05 |
The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Commodity Price Exposure
Our provisional concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the respective metal concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated for hedge accounting, is marked-to-market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
We perform an analysis on the provisional concentrate sales to determine the potential impact to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for each 10% adverse change to the average price on the provisional concentrate sales subject to final pricing over the next several months. Refer below for our analysis as of March 31, 2026.
| Provisionally Priced Sales Subject to Final Pricing (1) | Average Provisional Price (per ounce/pound) | Effect of 10% change in Average Price (millions) | Market Closing Settlement Price (2) (per ounce/pound) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Gold (ounces, in thousands) | 131 | $ | 4,657 | $ | 41 | $ | 4,608 | ||||||||||||||||
| Copper (pounds, in millions) | 75 | $ | 5.55 | $ | 29 | $ | 5.52 | ||||||||||||||||
| Silver (ounces, in millions) | 9 | $ | 74.77 | $ | 44 | $ | 72.69 | ||||||||||||||||
| Lead (pounds, in millions) | 58 | $ | 0.85 | $ | 3 | $ | 0.85 | ||||||||||||||||
| Zinc (pounds, in millions) | 105 | $ | 1.47 | $ | 10 | $ | 1.44 |
____________________________
(1)Includes provisionally priced by-product sales subject to final pricing, which are recognized as a reduction to Costs applicable to sales.
(2)The closing settlement price as of March 31, 2026 is determined utilizing the London Metal Exchange for copper, lead, and zinc and the London Bullion Market Association for gold and silver.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk related to the fair value of our senior notes which is wholly comprised of fixed rates at March 31, 2026. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. The terms of our fixed rate debt obligations do not generally allow investors to demand payment of these obligations prior to maturity. Therefore, we do not have significant exposure to interest rate risk for our fixed rate debt; however, we do have exposure to potentially material fair value risk if we repurchase or exchange long-term debt prior to maturity. Refer to Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information pertaining to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The Company's global operations expose it to foreign currency exchange rates with the most significant being the Australian dollar. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Ghana, Suriname, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada. Foreign currency exchange rates can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as supply and demand for foreign and U.S. currencies and U.S. and foreign country economic conditions. 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. Fluctuations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar can increase or decrease profit margins, cash flow, and Costs applicable to sales to the extent costs are paid in local currency at foreign operations.
For our foreign mining operations, we performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact to Costs applicable to sales arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement of local currency exchange rates at March 31, 2026 in relation to the USD, with no mitigation assumed from our foreign currency cash flow hedges. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement would result in an approximate $127 increase to Costs applicable to sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Hyperinflationary Economies
Hyperinflationary economies are defined by the International Monetary Fund as economies in which the projected three-year cumulative inflation exceeds 100%. At March 31, 2026, Argentina was the only hyperinflationary economy in which the Company held operations.
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. From January 1, 2026, the floating exchange rate regime between bands will remain in effect, and the monthly rate of adjustment of the upper and lower limits of the exchange rate band will be determined according to the latest monthly inflation data reported by INDEC. 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.
Hedging
The Company's hedging instruments consisted of the Cadia Power Purchase Agreement ("Cadia PPA") and foreign currency cash flow hedges at March 31, 2026, which were transacted for risk management purposes. The Cadia PPA mitigates the variability in future cash flows related to a portion of power purchases at the Cadia mine and the foreign currency cash flow hedges were entered into to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD- and CAD-denominated operating expenditures and AUD-denominated capital expenditures. By using hedges, we are affected by market risk, credit risk, and market liquidity risk. Refer to Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our hedging instruments.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in commodity prices or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or be subject to any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative.
We have performed sensitivity analyses as of March 31, 2026 regarding the Cadia PPA and foreign currency cash flow hedges. For the Cadia PPA, we utilized a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the forward electricity rates relative to current rates, with all other variables held constant. For the foreign currency cash flow hedges, we utilized a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the AUD and CAD foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The foreign currency exchange rates we used in performing the sensitivity analysis were based on AUD and CAD market rates in effect at March 31, 2026.
The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement would result in an approximate decrease in the fair value of the Cadia PPA cash flow hedge and the foreign currency cash flow hedges of $40 and $155 at March 31, 2026, respectively.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties.
Market Liquidity Risk
Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Subject to the above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Business; Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, other than as set forth below. The risks described in our Annual Report and herein are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or future results.
Geopolitical risks related to ongoing Middle East conflicts may adversely affect the Company’s operations, costs, liquidity, and capital allocation decisions.
Ongoing or escalating geopolitical tensions and military activity, including conflicts involving the Middle East, Iran, Ukraine, and Venezuela, may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Heightened geopolitical instability in the Middle East has contributed to uncertainty in global economic and financial conditions, including potential constraints affecting key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, and increased volatility in energy, fuel, and transportation markets, as well as contributing to volatility in labor, financial, and commodity markets. These developments may disrupt global supply chains, including the availability and cost of fuel, energy, transportation, and other critical materials, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Disruptions to fuel and energy supply, including as a result of government‑imposed restrictions, sanctions, export controls, or other regulatory actions, could materially increase the Company’s operating costs or require the temporary suspension or shutdown of certain mining operations where reliable access to fuel or power is essential to safe and continuous operations. Heightened geopolitical tensions may also increase cybersecurity risks, including threats to energy infrastructure, logistics providers, financial systems, and other third‑party service providers.
U.S. and global financial markets have, from time to time, experienced significant dislocations, reduced liquidity, and pricing volatility as a result of geopolitical conflicts and other macroeconomic events, and such conditions may recur in the future. Market disruptions could adversely affect the availability, cost, or terms of capital, and additional financing may not be commercially available when needed or may be obtained only on unfavorable terms. In the event of sustained lower gold, copper, silver, lead, or zinc prices, unanticipated operating or financial challenges, or additional funding constraints, the Company’s ability to pursue new business opportunities and invest in existing or new projects could be materially constrained. The extent and duration of these impacts remain uncertain and may continue to evolve. Reference is made to the Risk Factor under the headings “A substantial or extended decline in gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc prices would have a material adverse effect on us”, “We rely on our supply chain operations to procure goods and services to support our operations and projects, and competition with other natural resource companies, and shortage of critical parts, services and equipment may adversely affect our operations and development projects”, “The price of our common stock may be volatile, which may make it difficult for you to sell the common stock at the price you paid or at prices you find attractive” and other risks disclosed in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
Our directors and executive officers may purchase or sell shares of our common stock in the market from time to time, including pursuant to equity trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and in compliance with guidelines specified by the Company’s stock trading standard, which was filed as Exhibit 19 to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and the Company’s stock trading standard, directors, officers and certain employees who, at such time, are not in possession of material non-public information about the Company are permitted to enter into written plans that pre-establish amounts, prices and dates (or formula for determining the amounts, prices and dates) of future purchases or sales of the Company’s stock, including shares acquired pursuant to the Company’s employee and director equity plans. Under the Company’s stock trading standard, the first trade made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan may take place no earlier than 90 days after adoption of the trading plan. Under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or executive officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The use of these trading plans permits asset diversification as well as financial and tax planning. Our directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information, subject to compliance with SEC rules, the terms of our stock trading standard and holding requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the following director adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c):
On February 23, 2026, Natascha Viljoen, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, adopted a 10b5-1 Trading Plan with a term of 9 months, and provided for the sale of up to 34,938 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the plan. The adoption of such 10b5-1 Trading Plan occurred during an open insider trading window, complied with the Company’s standards on insider trading, and included a required cooling-off period before any trading could commence under the plan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no Section 16 directors amended or terminated existing Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
