Second 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 $2,202 or $2.06 per diluted share, an increase of $141 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to a net increase in Sales, largely reflecting higher average realized gold prices partially offset by lower sales volumes; partially offset by unrealized losses on marketable equity securities recognized in 2026, compared to unrealized gains in 2025, recognized within Other income (loss), net. Results for the current quarter were also affected by certain notable items impacting comparability to the prior-year quarter, including the contribution from Ahafo North following its achievement of commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2025 and designation as a reportable segment, completion of our divestment program in 2025, and the temporary suspension of operations at Cadia following seismic activity recorded near the operation on April 14, 2026.
-
Adjusted net income:** Reported Adjusted net income (loss) of $2,246 or $2.10 per diluted share, an increase of $0.67 per diluted share from the prior-year quarter (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
-
Adjusted EBITDA:** Reported $3,757 in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of 25% from the prior-year quarter (refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).

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 June 30, 2026 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, and the following short-term and long-term assumptions:

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 to determine the potential impact of a 10% adverse change in the provisional pricing on concentrate sales subject to final pricing over the next several months on Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. Refer below for our analysis as of June 30, 2026.

(2)The closing settlement price as of June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $250 increase to Costs applicable to sales for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2026, Argentina was the only hyperinflationary economy in which the Company held operations.
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.
As a result of Argentine foreign exchange controls, entities may access USD through a legal market mechanism commonly referred to as the Blue Chip Swap ("BCS"). In a BCS transaction, an entity purchases USD-denominated securities using Argentine pesos and subsequently sells those securities for USD, either in Argentina or outside Argentina following the transfer of the securities abroad. The resulting implicit exchange rate, referred to as the Blue Chip Swap rate, may differ significantly from Argentina's official exchange rate. In July 2026, the Company began entering into BCS transactions. Foreign currency exchange losses, if any, will be recognized in Other income (loss), net.
Hedging
The Company's hedging instruments consisted of the Cadia Power Purchase Agreement ("Cadia PPA") and foreign currency cash flow hedges at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $35 and $95 at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 17 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, and under Part II, Other Information; Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, as filed with the SEC on April 23, 2026, other than as set forth below.
The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 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.
Our operations and projects at Ahafo South and Ahafo North in Ghana are subject to political, economic, regulatory and other risks.
Newmont operates in Ghana pursuant to a Revised Investment Agreement ratified by Ghana's Parliament in 2015, which established a fixed fiscal and legal regime, including fixed royalty and tax rates, for Newmont operations in Ghana. The tenure of the Revised Investment Agreement is linked to the mining leases, which are set to expire in 2031. The financial and tax stability periods established by such agreement expired on December 31, 2025, resulting in the loss of certain tax advantages and tax protections. Following the expiration of these protections, our Ghanaian operations are increasingly exposed to changes in applicable tax, royalty, fiscal, regulatory and other governmental requirements. Upcoming regulatory changes in the mining law, royalties and local content requirements may create additional exposures for the future.
Following volatile socioeconomic conditions in recent years, the Government of Ghana continues to be under pressure for more revenue generation, keeping in place levies such as the Growth and Sustainability Levy, introduced in 2023 and amended in 2026, and VAT on electricity. The Government of Ghana has also implemented and proposed a number of measures that could materially affect mining companies operating in the country. These include a recently adopted sliding-scale mineral royalty framework under which royalty rates will increase from the historical 5% rate to as high as 12%, depending on prevailing gold prices, and proposed amendments to Ghana's Minerals and Mining Act that would shorten the duration of new mining leases and lease renewals, modify exploration licensing requirements, require direct community development agreements with host communities, enhance local participation requirements, create additional local oversight mechanisms in the licensing process, and potentially reduce or eliminate certain fiscal stability protections available to mining companies. Although the timing, scope, implementation and ultimate form of these measures remain uncertain, their adoption could increase operating costs, capital requirements and regulatory burdens, reduce investment certainty, shorten mine planning horizons, adversely affect future lease renewals and otherwise negatively impact the economics of our Ghana operations.
The Government has also continued efforts to increase oversight and control of gold marketing and export activities, including through the establishment of the Ghana Gold Board ("GoldBod"). While GoldBod is principally focused on artisanal and small-scale mining production, evolving regulations, administrative requirements, export controls, foreign exchange rules, local banking requirements and other regulatory actions may affect gold sales (including requirements to sell up to 30% of gold production from our operations in Ghana to the GoldBod in exchange for Ghanaian cedis), exports, transportation logistics, working capital requirements and the timing of revenue recognition. For additional information refer to the risk factor under the heading “Increased exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and capital controls may adversely affect Newmont’s costs, earnings and the value of some of our assets” included in Part I, Business; Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026. In July 2026, a shipment of doré produced from our Ghana operations was prevented from leaving Ghana pending engagement with relevant regulatory authorities. Prolonged delays, restrictions or changes to export and sales arrangements could adversely affect revenue timing, cash flows, working capital requirements, contractual sales commitments and operating results. For additional information refer to the risk factor under the heading “Our operations and projects are subject to risks of doing business in multiple jurisdictions” included in Part I, Business; Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026.
Other risks include impacts to supply chain, restrictions and local procurement requirements under local content regulations. In January 2025, the Minerals Commission published the sixth edition of the Local Procurement List, which includes a prohibition on mining by mining lease holders and requiring surface mining operations to be outsourced to companies with 100% Ghanaian stockholders and directors and underground operations to be outsourced to companies with 50% Ghanaian stockholders and directors. The Ghana Chamber of Mines, of which Newmont is a member, is reviewing the list and continues to engage the government to revise its position on this prohibition on owner mining. Additionally, there is a risk of increases in key commodity prices, more restrictive local banking, foreign exchange and cash management requirements, including requirements to maintain, repatriate or transact proceeds
through banks domiciled in Ghana, limitations on the availability or capacity of local banks to provide reclamation bonds or other financial assurances, requests for additional local employment, ownership or participation requirements, requests for contract renegotiation and increases in contract rates and other operating costs. The government may grant artisanal mining rights or alternative mining rights, such as sand and gravel, in locations in which the Company has tenure rights, but no active operations, impacting the Company's non-operational land positions. Economic setbacks, political developments, anti-mining sentiment, increasing expectations regarding local participation in the mining sector, and friction between mining operators and artisanal and small-scale miners may contribute to community unrest, encroachment, illegal mining activities, permitting delays, operational disruptions or other conflicts that could adversely affect our operations in Ghana.

Subsequent to the end of the covered period, the Company repurchased 6,472,040 additional shares at an average price of $93.94 per share pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan for a total amount of $7,617 repurchased as of the date of filing under the stock repurchase programs described in (2) below.
(2)The Company completed its previously announced share repurchase program during the second quarter of 2026. In April 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $6,000 stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock. The program will be executed at the Company's discretion. The repurchase program has no expiration date, may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future.
