First Quarter 2019 Highlights
· |
Newmont Goldcorp update: On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp Inc. (Goldcorp) in a primarily stock transaction. On April 18, 2019, Newmont closed its acquisition of Goldcorp following receipt of all regulatory approvals and approval by Newmont’s and Goldcorp’s shareholders of the resolutions at the shareholder meetings on April 11 and April 4, 2019, respectively. As of the closing date, the combined company is known as Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, continuing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NEM and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker NGT. The financial information included in this report represents results of Newmont Mining Corporation prior to the acquisition of Goldcorp. Results for the second quarter 2019 will reflect the financial performance of the combined company from the closing date of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. |
· |
Net income (loss): Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $113 million or $0.21 per diluted share, a decrease of $57 million from the prior-year quarter primarily due to integration and transaction costs associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and Nevada JV Agreement and lower average realized gold prices, partially offset by higher gold production. |
· |
Adjusted net income (loss): Delivered Adjusted net income (loss) of $176 million or $0.33 per diluted share, a 6% decrease from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 56). |
· |
Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $687 million in Adjusted EBITDA, a 7% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 56). |
· |
Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $574 million, a 116% increase from the prior-year quarter, and free cash flow of $349 million (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 56). |
· |
Attributable gold production: Increased 2% to 1.23 million ounces primarily due to a full quarter of mining at Subika Underground and higher grade at Merian and Yanacocha, partially offset by reduced mining and lower grade at Kalgoorlie. |
· |
Portfolio improvements: Forged strategic joint venture agreement with Barrick to create the world’s largest gold producing complex by combining the companies’ respective mining operations, assets, reserves, and talent in Nevada; completed Tanami Power Project in Australia safely and on schedule, lowering power costs and carbon emissions by 20 percent. |
· |
Financial Strength: Ended the quarter with net debt of $0.8 billion and $3.5 billion cash on hand supporting an investment-grade credit profile; declared a first quarter dividend of $0.14 per share; declared a one-time special dividend of $0.88 per share to be paid on May 1, 2019, to Newmont shareholders of record based on outstanding shares as of April 17, 2019, and not including any shares issued in connection with the recently completed Newmont Goldcorp transaction. |
Our global project pipeline
Newmont’s capital-efficient project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects are presented below. Funding for Ahafo Mill Expansion and Quecher Main have been approved and these projects are in execution.
Ahafo Mill Expansion, Africa. This project is designed to maximize resource value by improving production margins and accelerating stockpile processing. The project also supports profitable development of Ahafo’s highly prospective underground resources. The expansion is expected to have an average annual gold production of between 75,000 and 100,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2020. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $133, of which $14 related to the first quarter 2019. Both first production and commercial production are expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Quecher Main, South America. This project will add oxide production at Yanacocha, leverage existing infrastructure and enable potential future growth at Yanacocha. First production was achieved in late 2018 with commercial production expected in the fourth quarter of 2019. Quecher Main extends the life of the Yanacocha operation to 2027 with average annual gold production of about 200,000 ounces per year (on a consolidated basis) between 2020 and 2025. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $126, of which $25 related to the first quarter 2019.
We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formerly Newmont Mining Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including 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 and represent the results of Newmont prior to the acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”). These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on February 21, 2019 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 United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency and “C$” refers to Canadian currency.
On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (as amended by the first amendment to the arrangement agreement, dated as of February 19, 2019, the “Arrangement Agreement”), which closed on April 18, 2019. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp in a primarily stock transaction (the “Newmont Goldcorp transaction”). Goldcorp shareholders received 0.3280 shares of Newmont’s common stock and $0.02 in cash for each Goldcorp common share they owned, valued at $9.4 billion and $17, respectively. At the closing date, the combined company is now known as Newmont Goldcorp Corporation. For further information regarding subsequent events that occurred as a result of closing of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, see Note 26.
On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture that will combine certain mining operations and assets located in Nevada and historically included in the Company’s North America reportable segment and certain of Barrick’s Nevada mining operations and assets (the “Nevada JV Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, Barrick and the Company will hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 61.5% and 38.5%, respectively. Barrick will operate the joint venture with overall management responsibility and will be subject to the supervision and direction of the joint venture’s Board of Managers, which will be comprised of three managers appointed by Barrick and two managers appointed by Newmont. The Company and Barrick will have an equal number of representatives on the joint venture’s technical, finance and exploration advisory committees. Establishment of the joint venture is subject to the usual conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the coming months.
In connection with entering into the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont entered into a mutual two-year standstill agreement with Barrick (the “standstill agreement”). Accordingly, Barrick withdrew its previously announced acquisition proposal for an all-stock acquisition of Newmont and the notice of intent received from a Barrick subsidiary to propose stockholder business at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders of Newmont. The standstill agreement will terminate two years from the date the joint venture is consummated, or sooner under certain circumstances involving the termination of the Nevada JV Agreement.

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 prices for gold and copper. 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 and Deferred income tax assets 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.

NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, and changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements can adversely affect the Company’s ability to recover its investment in certain assets and result in impairment charges.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
The Company determines if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Other non-current assets and Other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property, plant and mine development, net and current and non-current Lease and other financing obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating and finance lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company has lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for the majority of its asset classes. Additionally, for certain lease arrangements that involve leases of similar assets, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the underlying ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued which, together with subsequent amendments, is included in ASC 842, Leases. The standard was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with an initial term greater than one year. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required.
The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $9 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.
The new standard offers a number of optional practical expedients of which the Company elected the following:
10
NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Transition elections: The Company elected the land easements practical expedient whereby existing land easements were not reassessed under the new standard.
Ongoing accounting policy elections: The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby ROU assets and lease liabilities will not be recognized for leasing arrangements with terms less than one year. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of its underlying asset classes.
Based on contracts outstanding at January 1, 2019, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $46 and $47, respectively, and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $85 and $93, respectively. Additionally, the Company reclassified $19 from Other non-current Assets, $3 from Other current liabilities and $28 from Other non-current liabilities into Property, plant and mine development, net, current Lease and other financing obligations and non-current Lease and other financing obligations, respectively. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For required qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to leasing arrangements beginning in the period of adoption, see Note 20.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Disclosure Requirements
In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-13 was issued to modify and enhance the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still completing its assessment of the impacts and anticipated adoption date of this guidance.
Defined Benefit Plan Disclosure Requirements
In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-14 was issued to modify and enhance the required disclosures for defined benefit plans. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, ending after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still completing its assessment of the impacts and anticipated adoption date of this guidance.
Capitalization of Certain Cloud Computing Implementation Costs
In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-15 was issued which allows for the capitalization for certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still completing its assessment of the impacts and anticipated adoption date of this guidance.
NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has organized its operations into four geographic regions. The geographic regions include North America, South America, Australia and Africa and represent the Company’s operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this 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. Newmont’s business activities that are not considered operating segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes.

NOTE 5 RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation and remediation costs are based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements.

The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $64 and $65 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $50 and $49 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $2,337 and $2,316, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating properties.
The Company is also involved in several matters concerning environmental remediation obligations associated with former, primarily historic, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $276 and $279, respectively, were accrued for such environmental remediation obligations. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 40% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2019. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.
Included in Other non-current assets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are $43 and $42, respectively, of non-current restricted cash held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at March 31, 2019, $32 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa, $8 was related to the Con mine in Yellowknife, NWT, Canada, $2 was related to the San Jose Reservoir in Yanacocha, Peru and $1 was related to the Midnite mine in Washington state. Of the amounts at December 31, 2018, $32 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines, $8 was related to the Con mine and $2 was related to the San Jose Reservoir.
Included in Other non-current assets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are $59 and $57, respectively, of non-current restricted investments, which are legally pledged for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations related to the San Jose Reservoir, Midnite mine site and for various locations in Nevada.

Newmont has a 75.0% economic interest in Suriname Gold Project C.V. (“Merian”), with the remaining interests held by Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”), a company wholly owned by the Republic of Suriname. Newmont consolidates Merian, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity.
18
NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
In June 2018, Yanacocha sold a 5% ownership interest to Summit Global Management II VB, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation (“Sumitomo”), in exchange for $48 in cash, which resulted in Newmont’s ownership in Yanacocha decreasing from 54.05% to 51.35%, with the remaining interest held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) (which decreased from 45.95% to 43.65%).
Under the terms of the transaction, Sumitomo has the option to require Yanacocha to repurchase the interest for $48 if the Yanacocha Sulfides project does not adequately progress by June 2022 or if the project is approved with an incremental rate of return below a contractually agreed upon rate. Consequently, Sumitomo’s interest has been classified outside of permanent equity as Contingently redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the agreement, the cash paid by Sumitomo at closing has been placed in escrow for repayment in the event the option is exercised. The Company continues to consolidate Yanacocha in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the voting interest model.
The following summarizes the assets and liabilities of Merian (including noncontrolling interests):

NOTE 11 NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly, except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock awards. The dilutive effects of Newmont’s dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per share are included in the calculation.

NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Debt is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $4,046 and $4,044 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value measurement of debt was based on an independent third party pricing source. |
The fair values of the derivative instruments in the table above are presented on a net basis. The gross amounts related to the fair value of the derivatives instruments above are included in Note 15. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and cash equivalent) instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, which contain an embedded derivative and are subject to final pricing, are valued using quoted market prices in the futures market for the particular metal. As the contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s derivative instruments consist of fixed forward contracts and zero-cost collar contracts. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward curves, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivative contracts are valued based on readily available information, and as such, model inputs can be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities are calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The Company’s marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values are primarily comprised of warrants in publicly traded companies and are valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying securities. As the contracts themselves are not traded on the exchange, these equity securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of an unrestricted sixty-two month convertible debenture with Continental Gold Inc. (“Continental”) (the “Continental Convertible Debt”). The estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model, with an internally derived discount rate. It has been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Continental conversion option is an embedded derivative in the Continental Convertible Debt agreement, further discussed in Note 16. It is valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying security. As the option itself is not traded on the exchange, this instrument is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s restricted marketable debt securities are primarily U.S. government issued bonds and international bonds. The Company’s South American debt securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, and they are valued using published market prices of actively traded securities. The Company’s North American debt securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models which are based on prices of similar, actively traded securities.
The Company’s restricted other assets primarily consist of bank issued certificate of deposits that have maturities over 90 days and marketable equity securities. Both are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are based on quoted prices available in active markets.
The estimated value of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future copper prices using the Company’s long-term copper price, and (iii) estimated production and/or development dates for Batu Hijau Phase 7 and the Elang projects in Indonesia. The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices using the Company’s long-term gold price, (iii) various gold production scenarios from reserve and resource information and (iv) a weighted average discount rate. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 15 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company has and continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses hedge programs to mitigate the variability of its operating costs primarily related to diesel price fluctuations. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 during 2018, the Company initiated new diesel hedge programs for all of its Nevada sites in North America, Merian in South America and Boddington, Tanami and Kalgoorlie in Australia. As a result of the Nevada JV Agreement, the Company has settled all of its outstanding diesel hedge contracts for its Nevada sites in North America as of March 31, 2019, for a nominal amount. There were nominal amounts included in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to the outstanding diesel hedges at the time of settlement.
The following diesel contracts were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges. The unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, or when the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring.
The Company has the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2019:

The hedging instruments at the sites above consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts, which run through the fourth quarter of 2021 in South America and the first quarter of 2022 in Australia.
Derivative Instrument Fair Values
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2019 was nominal. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2018 was $2 and $3, and were classified in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all hedging instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held with various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the potential effect of netting derivative assets against liabilities due to the master netting agreement was not significant.

Batu Hijau Contingent Consideration
Consideration received by the Company in conjunction with the sale of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara included the Contingent Payment and the Elang Development deferred payment deeds, which were determined to be financial instruments that met the definition of a derivative, but did not qualify for hedge accounting, under ASC 815. See Note 14 for additional information. Contingent consideration of $27 and $26 was included in Other non-current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Continental Conversion Option
In March 2019, Newmont entered into a $50 million convertible debt agreement with Continental. The debt is convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative, which has been bifurcated from the host instrument and included in other noncurrent investments. See Note 16 for additional information. The conversion option was valued at $20 and included in Investments in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019.
Provisional Gold and Copper Sales
The Company’s provisional gold and copper 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 gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

.
In March 2019, Newmont entered into a $50 million convertible debt agreement with Continental. The debt is convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The debt is an unrestricted marketable debt security and is classified as available-for-sale. The conversion option has been identified as an embedded derivative, which has been bifurcated and included in non-current investments. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined that based on its evolving roles on advisory committees and its support for recent financing events, Newmont now has the ability to exercise significant influence over Continental and concluded that the investment now qualifies as an equity method investment. As a result, the Company reclassified its existing Continental marketable equity security to an equity method investment. The fair value of the marketable equity security was $73, which formed the new basis for the equity method investment.

In December 2017, the Company began the Tanami Power project which included the construction of a gas pipeline to the Tanami site, and construction and operation of two on-site power stations under agreements that qualified for build-to-suit lease accounting. As of December 31, 2018, the financing obligations under the build-to-suit arrangements were $210, of which $24 was classified as current.
During the first quarter of 2019, construction of the gas pipeline and power stations was completed. Upon completion, the build-to-suit arrangements failed to qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. Finance lease obligations were recognized on both arrangements totaling $204 as of March 31, 2019, of which $26 was classified as current.
As of March 31, 2019, we have an additional operating lease for corporate office space that has not yet commenced. At commencement, the Company anticipates this lease will result in additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of $54. The operating lease is anticipated to commence in 2020 with a lease term of 13 years.

NOTE 25 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
37
NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
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 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the North America reportable segment. The Newmont Ghana Gold and Newmont Golden Ridge matters relate to the Africa reportable segment.
Environmental Matters
Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain of the more significant matters are discussed below.
Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned
Ross-Adams mine site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont agreed to perform the EE/CA pursuant to the requirements of an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”) between the USFS and Newmont. The EE/CA was provided to the USFS in April 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the USFS confirmed approval of the EE/CA, and Newmont issued written notice to the USFS certifying that all requirements of the ASAOC had been completed. During the third quarter of 2016, Newmont received a notice of completion of work per the ASAOC from the USFS, which finalized the ASAOC. The USFS issued an Action Memorandum in April 2018 to select the preferred Removal Action alternative identified in the EE/CA. Newmont is continuing to negotiate the terms of a future agreement with the USFS for Newmont to implement the approved Removal Action. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and Newmont cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“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 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 other 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 a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets with interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process (with the exception of the new water treatment plant (“WTP”) design, which was completed in December 2018 and submitted to EPA for final review and approval). Approval of the new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit was received in 2017 allowing the subsequent WTP design to be completed. Newmont is managing the remediation project to implement Phase 1 remedial actions

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
with a focus on backfilling Pit 4. In June 2018, $11 was released from the trust account for remedial work completed. Newmont will continue to manage the remediation project through the 2019 construction season.
The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health and is in the process of being closed. 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 activity will consist primarily of addressing groundwater issues.
The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $149 at March 31, 2019.
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 51.35% Newmont Owned
Administrative Actions. The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. Since 2011, OEFA has issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. OEFA has resolved many alleged violations with minimal or no findings. In 2015 and 2016, the water authority of Cajamarca issued notices of alleged regulatory violations, and resolved some allegations in 2018 with no findings. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 23,315 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001260, based on current exchange rates, ($0 to $29). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.
Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment and; (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.
Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November, 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha has appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. On January 18, 2019, the Peru Supreme Court issued notice that three judges support the position of the tax authority and two judges support the position of Yanacocha. Because four votes are required for a final decision, an additional judge has been

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
selected to issue a decision and the parties conducted oral argument in April 2019. The potential liability in this matter is in the form of fines and interest in an amount up to $86. It is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation.
NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.
In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).
Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.
NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.
On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.
On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1.2 billion. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Plaintiff has not actively pursued this case since the filing in 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and 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 that 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 October 21, 2008 and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease ratified by Parliament December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliament ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) declaration as to meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company

without prior Parliament ratification; (iii) 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.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
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 our 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 any 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 and feasibility study, neither of which have occurred. As such, this amount has not been accrued.
NOTE 26 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Authorized shares
On April 11, 2019, and in anticipation of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase Newmont’s authorized number of shares of common stock from 750 million to 1.28 billion, as approved by Newmont shareholders at the April 11, 2019 special meeting of stockholders.
Newmont Goldcorp transaction
On April 18, 2019, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company completed the acquisition of Goldcorp, an Ontario corporation. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Goldcorp shareholders received approximately 285 million shares of Newmont common stock valued at $9.4 billion, based on the closing share price on April 18, 2019, and $17 in cash consideration. The Company is currently performing procedures to determine the purchase price allocation and estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, and will record the initial fair value estimates in the second quarter of 2019.
Upon closing, the Company paid the outstanding principal balances of Goldcorp’s term loan of $400 and Goldcorp’s revolving credit facility of $850. Additionally, the Company offered an exchange of all outstanding notes issued by Goldcorp, with an aggregate principal amount of $2 billion, for new notes issued by Newmont (the “New Newmont Notes”) and nominal cash consideration. The New Newmont Notes, issued April 22, 2019, consist of $550 of 3.625% notes due June 9, 2021, $1.0 billion of 3.70% notes due March 15, 2023 and $450 of 5.45% notes due June 9, 2044.
Contingent Dividend
On March 25, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared a one-time special dividend of $0.88 per share on its common stock conditional upon the approval of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. The dividend will be paid to Newmont shareholders of record as of April 17, 2019. The special dividend was conditional upon the approval by both Newmont’s and Goldcorp’s shareholders of the resolutions considered at the shareholder meetings on April 11 and April 4, respectively, in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, and, therefore not reflected within dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The special dividend will be paid on May 1, 2019 as all conditions were satisfied on April 11, 2019.

Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2019, the Company entered into a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, dated April 4, 2019 (“Effective Date”) and expiring in April 2024. The New Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contains a letter of credit sub-facility. Facility fees vary based on the credit ratings of our senior, uncollateralized, non-current debt. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a market based rate plus a margin determined by our credit rating. The New Facility Agreement replaces the Company’s existing credit agreement dated as of May 20, 2011, as amended and restated as of May 25, 2017 (“Existing Credit Agreement”). Outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement of approximately $71 were transferred to the New Credit Agreement on the Effective Date and remain outstanding. Debt covenants under the New Credit Agreement are substantially the same as the Existing Credit Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formerly Newmont Mining Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 56. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency.
This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 21, 2019
Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for 12 consecutive years and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States (“U.S.”), Australia, Peru, Ghana and Suriname.
We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading environmental, social and governance practices, and building a stronger portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to fund our best projects, reduce debt, and return cash to shareholders.
Recent Transactions
On January 14, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement (as amended by the first amendment to the arrangement agreement, dated as of February 19, 2019, the “Arrangement Agreement”), which closed on April 18, 2019. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Newmont acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”) in a primarily stock transaction (the “Newmont Goldcorp transaction”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Goldcorp shareholders received approximately 285 million shares of Newmont common stock valued at $9.4 billion on the date of close and approximately $17 in cash consideration. As of the closing date, the combined company is known as Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, continuing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NEM and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker NGT. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations represents results of Newmont Mining Corporation prior to the acquisition of Goldcorp. We are currently performing procedures to determine the purchase price allocation and estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, and will record the initial fair value estimates during the second quarter 2019.
Upon closing, we paid the outstanding principal balances of Goldcorp’s term loan of $400 and Goldcorp’s revolving credit facility of $850. Additionally, we exchanged all outstanding notes issued by Goldcorp (the “Existing Goldcorp Notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2 billion, for new notes issued by Newmont (the “New Newmont Notes”) and nominal cash consideration. The New Newmont Notes, issued April 22, 2019, consist of $550 of 3.625% notes due June 9, 2021, $1.0 billion of 3.70% notes due March 15, 2023 and $450 of 5.45% notes due June 9, 2044.
On March 25, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared a one-time special dividend of $0.88 per share on its common stock conditional upon the approval of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. The dividend will be paid to Newmont shareholders of record as of April 17, 2019. The special dividend was conditional upon the approval by both Newmont’s and Goldcorp’s shareholders of the resolutions considered at the shareholder meetings on April 11 and April 4, respectively, in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and, therefore not reflected within dividends declared for the three months ended of March 31, 2019. The special dividend will be paid on May 1, 2019, as all conditions were satisfied on April 11, 2019.
On March 10, 2019, we entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture that will combine certain mining operations and assets located in Nevada and historically included in our North America
43
reportable segment and certain of Barrick’s Nevada mining operations and assets (the “Nevada JV Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, Barrick and Newmont will hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 61.5% and 38.5% economic interest. Barrick will operate the joint venture with overall management responsibility and will be subject to the supervision and direction of the joint venture’s board of managers, which will be comprised of three managers appointed by Barrick and two managers appointed by Newmont. Newmont and Barrick will have an equal number of representatives on the joint venture’s advisory technical, finance and exploration advisory committees. Establishment of the joint venture is subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to be completed in the coming months. Once established, Newmont’s existing mining operations contributed to the joint venture will be deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements and our share of the fair value of the combined assets and liabilities of the joint venture will be recognized as of the commencement date of the joint venture. We expect to recognize our pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint venture on a go forward basis in our consolidated financial statements.
In connection with entering into the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont entered into a mutual two-year standstill agreement with Barrick (the “standstill agreement”). Accordingly, Barrick withdrew its previously announced acquisition proposal for an all-stock acquisition of Newmont and the notice of intent received from a Barrick subsidiary to propose stockholder business at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders of Newmont. The standstill agreement will terminate two years from the date the joint venture is consummated, or sooner under certain circumstances involving the termination of the Nevada JV Agreement.

The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and Nevada JV Agreement transaction and integration costs and lower average realized gold prices, partially offset by higher production at various mine sites.

The decrease in Costs applicable to sales for gold during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments and a favorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate, partially offset by higher production at various sites.
The decrease in Costs applicable to sales for copper during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to lower production.

Depreciation and amortization increased during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher production at various sites, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments.
Reclamation and remediation increased by $2 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, due to increased Reclamation and remediation liabilities.
Exploration remained relatively flat during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, as exploration programs remained consistent with the prior year as we continue to focus on developing future reserves.
Advanced projects, research and development decreased by $7 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower consulting costs associated with full potential opportunities in North America and South America and prior-year study costs associated with the Long Canyon Phase 2 project in North America and the Chaquicocha underground project in South America.
Other expense, net increased by $57 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to legal, consulting services for due diligence, transaction and integration costs associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and legal costs associated with the Nevada JV Agreement, including hostile defense fees, during the first quarter of 2019.
Other income, net increased by $24 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in unrealized holding gains on marketable equity securities related primarily to Continental Gold Inc. and Gabriel Resources and interest income.
Interest expense, net increased by $5 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower capitalized interest in 2019 due to the completion of the Subika Underground project in the fourth quarter 2018.
47
Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $125 and $105 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 enactment of tax reform; (iv) the non-recognition of tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) and 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. See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

Includes valuation allowance of $2 and $10, respectively. |
(7) |
In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for income taxes is adjusted to equal the consolidated tax rate. |
(8) |
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 consolidated effective income tax rate. |
Equity income (loss) of affiliates was $(5) and $(9) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change is primarily due to decreased losses at TMAC Resources Inc.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(26) and $22 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in the Holt royalty obligation due to an increase in the gold price as well as a decrease in the discount rate.
For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 9 and Note 15 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations was $(32) and $1 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change is primarily due to increased net income at Yanacocha.

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2018
Consolidated gold production increased 4% primarily due to higher ore grades mined and milled at Yanacocha and Merian in South America, Tanami in Australia and Ahafo in Africa, partially offset by lower ore tons mined and lower leach tons placed at Carlin and lower mill throughput at Phoenix in North America, lower ore grade milled at Kalgoorlie in Australia and lower ore grade milled at Akyem in Africa.
Consolidated copper production decreased 19% primarily due to lower ore grade mined and lower throughput at Boddington, partially offset by higher leach tons and grade placed at Phoenix.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce decreased 6% primarily due to higher ounces sold, lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments and a favorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound increased 11% primarily due to lower pounds sold, partially offset by a favorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate at Boddington and higher leach and mill grades processed at Phoenix.
Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce was in line with prior year. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated copper pound increased 19% due to higher stockpile inventory adjustments and lower pounds sold at Boddington and higher amortization rates at Phoenix.
All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce decreased 4% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per ounce sold, partially offset by higher sustaining capital spend. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated copper pound increased 9% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per pound sold, partially offset by lower treatment and refining costs.

The lower ore grade milled was a result of reduced ore tons mined from the pit due to a failure in the East wall of the pit in 2018, leading to increased processing of lower-grade stockpiles. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 33% primarily due to lower ounces sold and a higher strip ratio, partially offset by a favorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate. Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 64% primarily due to asset additions and lower ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce increased 35% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold.

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2018
Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production increased 33% due to higher ore grade milled from mining at Subika Underground, partially offset by lower throughput. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 26% due to higher ounces sold, lower stockpile inventory adjustments and lower power costs, partially offset by higher equipment maintenance costs. Depreciation and amortization per ounce was in line with prior year. All-in sustaining costs per ounce decreased 17% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per ounce sold, partially offset by higher sustaining capital spend.
Akyem, Ghana. Gold production decreased 11% due to lower ore grade milled, throughput and recovery in addition to a build-up of in-circuit inventory compared to a draw-down in the prior period. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 16% primarily due to lower stockpile inventory adjustments and lower power costs, partially offset by lower ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per ounce decreased 10% due to lower stockpile inventory adjustments, partially offset by lower ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce decreased 7% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per ounce sold and lower sustaining capital spend.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies. Such fluctuations do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold and copper are sold throughout the world in U.S. dollars. Despite selling gold in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 31% and 35% of Costs applicable to sales for our operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended
52
March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which approximately 28% was denominated in the Australian dollar in the current year. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $19 per ounce, net of hedging losses, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily in Australia.
Our Merian mine is located in the country of Suriname, which is considered a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years. Although we have balances denominated in Surinamese dollars that relate to labor and payroll liabilities, substantially all of Merian’s activity is denominated in U.S dollars. Therefore, our exposure to fluctuations in the Surinamese dollar exchange rate is not significant to Newmont’s financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We have a disciplined cash management strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and provide long-term value to our shareholders. 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. See “Recent Transactions” in the Overview section and Note 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above for further information on expected impacts to liquidity related to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the one-time special dividend.
At March 31, 2019, the Company had $3,545 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $952 was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. At March 31, 2019, $386 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Peru and Suriname operations, which is being held to fund those operations. At March 31, 2019, $803 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($435 attributable to Newmont) 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 the withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.
During the second quarter of 2019 we expect to use approximately $1.7 billion of our Cash and cash equivalents in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the one-time special dividend. We also will include the New Newmont Notes of $2 billion in our Debt balances during the second quarter 2019. We believe our existing consolidated cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations, to include recently acquired Goldcorp operations, will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations, pay dividends and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2019, no borrowings were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

|
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $574 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $308 from the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to collections on accounts receivable and an increase in other accrued liabilities and accrued tax liabilities.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(275) in 2019, an increase in cash used of $39 from the three months ended 2018, primarily due to higher Purchases of investments in 2019 related to the acquisition of convertible debt issued by Continental, partially offset by slightly lower Additions to property, plant and mine development in 2019.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(143) in 2019, a decrease in cash used of $36 from the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the Repurchase of common stock for $64 in 2018, partially offset by higher net distributions to noncontrolling interests in 2019 and higher Payments on lease and other financing obligations in 2019.
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. 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had Additions to property, plant and mine development as follows:

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization
Management uses Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. Management’s determination of the components
56
of Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss)
Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the sale of products, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. Adjustments to continuing operations are presented before tax and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests, when applicable. The tax effect of adjustments is presented in the Tax effect of adjustments line and is calculated using the applicable regional tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

(10) |
Valuation allowance and other tax adjustments, included in Income and mining tax benefit (expense), is recorded for items such as net operating losses, foreign tax credits, capital losses, and disallowed foreign losses. The adjustment in 2019 is primarily due to increases in U.S. net operating losses of $23, increases to credit carryovers subject to valuation allowance of $5, increases to assets at Yanacocha subject to valuation allowance of $1, and increases to assets at Merian subject to valuation allowance of $1. The adjustment in 2018 is primarily due to increases in tax credit carryovers subject to valuation allowance of $5, increases to net operating loss and other deferred tax assets subject to valuation allowance at Yanacocha of $11 and other tax adjustments of $1. Amounts are presented net of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $(1) and $(5), respectively. |

Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share is calculated using diluted common shares, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
59
The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company’s definition of Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

All-In Sustaining Costs
Newmont has developed a metric that expands on GAAP measures, such as cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP measures, such as Costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from our continuing operations.
Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development (i.e. non-sustaining) capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies.
The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the all-in sustaining costs measure:
61
Costs applicable to sales. Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current production incurred to execute the current mine plan. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual amounts from Costs applicable to sales (“CAS”), such as significant revisions to recovery amounts. CAS includes by-product credits from certain metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In determining AISC, only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of gold CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix and Boddington mines. The copper CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines is based upon the relative sales value of gold and copper produced during the period.
Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties. Accretion related to the Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation does not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation associated with current production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to sustain current production and exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advanced projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves to sustain production at existing operations. As these costs relate to sustaining our production, and are considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and Exploration amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less incurred expenses related to the development of new operations, or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation in the future. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfill our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.
Other expense, net. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
Treatment and refining costs. Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sustaining capital and finance lease payments. We determined sustaining capital and finance lease payments as those capital expenditures and finance lease payments that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Sustaining finance lease payments are included beginning in 2019 in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. Refer to Note 2 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. We determined development (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures and finance lease payments to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation. The classification of sustaining and development capital projects and finance leases is based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital and finance lease payments are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

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 U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Decreases in the market price of gold and copper can also 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. 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, 2019 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,304 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.82 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, and a U.S. to Australian dollar short-term and long-term exchange rate of $0.71 and $0.80, respectively.
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.
Hedging
Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and may continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.
By using hedges, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity 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 risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates 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. 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.
See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commodity Price Exposure
Our provisional gold and copper 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 gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
66
At March 31, 2019, Newmont had gold sales of 62,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,302 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association P.M. closing settlement price at March 31, 2019 for gold was $1,295 per ounce.
At March 31, 2019, Newmont had copper sales of 19 million pounds priced at an average of $2.94 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced copper sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at March 31, 2019 for copper was $2.94 per pound.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
During the fiscal period covered by this report, 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”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that 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.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1, Business; Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019, except as set forth below.
To the extent we hold or acquire interests in any joint ventures or joint operations or enter into any joint ventures or joint operations in the future, our interest in these properties is subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures or joint operations.
To the extent we hold or acquire interests in any joint ventures or joint operations or enter into any joint ventures or joint operations in the future, the existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events could have a material adverse impact on our profitability or the viability of our interests held through joint ventures, which could have a material adverse impact on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition:
· |
inconsistent economic, political or business interests or goals between partners or disagreements with partners on strategy for the most efficient development or operation of mines; |
· |
inability to control certain strategic decisions made in respect of properties; |
· |
exercise of veto rights by our partners so as to block actions that we believe to be in our or the joint venture’s best interests; |
· |
inability of partners to meet their financial and other obligations to the joint venture, joint operation or third parties; and |
· |
litigation between partners regarding management, funding or other decisions related to the joint venture or joint operation. |
There can be no assurance that any joint ventures or joint operations, including the joint venture that will combine our and Barrick Gold Corporation’s (“Barrick”) respective Nevada operations (the “Nevada Joint Venture”) pursuant to the implementation agreement entered into on March 10, 2019 between Barrick and Newmont (the “Nevada JV Agreement”), will be beneficial to us, whether due to the above-described risks, unfavorable global economic conditions, increases in construction costs, currency fluctuations, political risks, or other factors.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any pending joint ventures or joint operations, including the Nevada Joint Venture, will close on a timely basis, or at all, given that satisfaction of closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals, accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants. If any pending joint ventures or joint operations, including the Nevada Joint Venture, fail to close, we will not realize its anticipated benefits, which might have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
To the extent we are unable to control all activities of any joint ventures or joint operations in which we hold an interest, the success of such operations will be beyond our control.
To the extent that we are not the operator of a joint venture or joint operation properties, such that we will be unable to control the activities of the operator, the success of such operations will be beyond our control. In many cases we will be bound by the decisions made by the operator in the operation of such property, and will rely on the operator to manage the property and to provide accurate information related to such property. We can provide no assurance that all decisions of operators of properties we do not control will achieve the expected results.
For example, pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, we will hold a 38.5 percent economic interest and Barrick will hold a 61.5 percent economic interest in the Nevada Joint Venture. Barrick will operate the Nevada joint venture with overall management responsibility and will be subject to the supervision and direction of the Nevada joint venture’s board of directors, which will be comprised of three directors appointed by Barrick and two directors appointed by Newmont. Outside of certain prescribed matters, decisions of the board of directors will be determined by majority vote, with the directors appointed by each company having voting power in proportion to such company’s economic interests in the Nevada joint venture.
68
Because we will beneficially own less than a majority of the ownership interests in the Nevada joint venture, we will have limited control of the Nevada Joint Venture’s operations and we will depend in part on Barrick to operate the Nevada joint venture. In the event that Barrick will have interests, objectives and incentives with respect to the Nevada joint venture that differ from our own, there can be no assurance that we will be able to resolve such disagreement in our favor. Any such disagreement could have a material adverse effect on our interest in the Nevada joint venture, the business of the Nevada joint venture or the portion of our growth strategy related to the Nevada joint venture.

The total number of shares purchased (and the average price paid per share) reflects shares delivered to the Company from stock awards held by employees upon vesting for the purpose of covering the recipients’ tax withholding obligations, totaling 9,471 shares, 934,052 shares and 135,967 shares for the fiscal months of January, February and March 2019, respectively. |
(2) |
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting in the current year, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased does not exceed $100 million, and no shares of common stock may be repurchased under the program after December 31, 2019. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first quarter of 2019. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors. The repurchase program 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. |

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. No work-related fatalities occurred at any Newmont site or facility in the first quarter of 2019. However, April 2019 marked the first anniversary of the tragic loss of six contractors who were working on the construction of a structure at the Ahafo Mill Expansion project in Ghana. We learned critical lessons from the thorough investigation conducted after the accident. These lessons have been applied across our operations and projects as we renew our commitment to making sure our people go home safe every day. We also shared lessons with the broader mining community to help prevent similar accidents from happening elsewhere.
Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.
The operation of our U.S. based mines is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.
Amendment to By-Laws
On April 23, 2019, we amended and restated our By-Laws to reflect the previously disclosed change in the name of the Company from Newmont Mining Corporation to Newmont Goldcorp Corporation in connection with the completion of the previously announced business combination with Goldcorp and in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement.
A copy of the amended and restated By-Laws of the Company is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
