First Quarter 2020 Highlights

•Net income: Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $837 or $1.04 per diluted share, an increase of $724 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the gains on the sale of Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines ("Kalgoorlie"), Continental Gold and Red Lake, higher production from the acquired Goldcorp assets and higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by an investment impairment, change in fair value of investments and from debt extinguishment in March 2020.

•Adjusted net income: Delivered Adjusted net income of $326 or $0.40 per diluted share, an increase of $0.07 from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).

•Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $1,118 in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of 63% from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).

•Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $939 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of 64% from the prior year, and free cash flow of $611 (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).

•Portfolio improvements: Completed divestiture of the Company’s 50 percent interest in Kalgoorlie in Australia; approved Autonomous Haulage at Boddington in Australia; completed sale of investment holdings in Continental Gold; completed divestiture of Red Lake complex in Canada.

•Attributable gold production: Produced 1.5 million ounces of gold, an increase of 20% over the prior-year quarter.

•Financial strength: Ended the quarter with $3.7 billion of consolidated cash; refinanced $1.0 billion of outstanding debt at historically low coupon of 2.25%; increased the dividend declared for the first quarter to $0.25 per share on April 21, 2020, an increase of 79% over prior year quarter.

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. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance.

Tanami Expansion 2, Australia. This project secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low cost producer with potential to extend mine life to 2040 through the addition of a hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to achieve higher production and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2023, and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $26, of which $12 related to the first quarter of 2020.

Musselwhite Materials Handling, North America. This project improves material movement from Musselwhite’s two main zones below Lake Opapimiskan. An underground shaft will hoist ore from the underground crushers, reducing haulage distances and ventilation costs. The project is 95% complete; however, full commissioning has been delayed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as Musselwhite operations have been placed on care and maintenance.

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.

COVID-19 Update

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and has since spread worldwide, posing public health risks across the globe. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our 2020 business plan in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and related restrictions, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have fully mobilized our business continuity plans and rapid response crisis management teams and are working closely with host and indigenous communities, regional and national governments and medical experts to protect our workforce and nearby communities, while also taking steps to preserve the long-term value of our business.

Health and safety

We have implemented controls at our operations and offices around the globe to put the health, safety, and overall wellbeing of our people and communities above all else. We have been working closely with host governments and communities to implement strict safety protocols at our sites with physical distancing and a reduced workforce. We are also implementing the provision of hygienic and other critical supplies and training and, in certain cases, pre-emptively ramping down operations to safeguard vulnerable communities, or placing operations in care and maintenance to align with government efforts. The health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount. This is why Newmont engaged its rapid response process early in connection with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and proactively took conservative steps to prevent further transmission of the Coronavirus. These steps include but are not limited to:

Table of Contents

•Cancelling all non-essential travel in early March;

•Closing our offices and implementing remote and flexible work arrangements;

•Significantly reducing the number of people working on our operating sites to the essential numbers required to operate and maintain the mines, processing plants and environmental control management systems;

•Enhancing temperature and questionnaire screening prior to arrival or entry to our sites;

•Implementing strict physical distancing protocols in planes, buses, light vehicles, offices and dining facilities;

•Increasing the frequency of deep cleaning and sanitization of surfaces;

•Providing hygiene and health support to nearby communities where our employees and contractors live and work; and

•Proactively ramping down certain operations to reduce the risk of transmission to nearby communities with limited health care capacity.

As of the date of filing, Newmont has no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at any of its sites thanks to the discipline of our employees in adhering to these and other protocols. We are proud of the way our employees have responded to these challenging times. In addition to strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, they have further demonstrated their commitment by joining the fight against this pandemic in the communities where they live and work. As a global business with operations in eight countries, we are committed to doing our part to combat this disease and protect people and their livelihoods. For a discussion of COVID-19 related risks to the business, see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

In addition to the above measures, in April 2020 Newmont announced the establishment of the Newmont Global Community Support Fund, a $20 fund to help host communities, governments and employees combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund is designed to focus on employee and community health, food security and local economic resilience through partnerships with local governments, medical institutions, charities and non-governmental organizations to address the greatest needs with long-term resiliency and future community development in mind.

Impact on business and operations

Our operations have been affected by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control. For example, in order to protect nearby communities and align with travel restrictions or health considerations in Canada, Argentina and Peru, four Newmont operations were temporarily put into care and maintenance in March 2020 including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha. In April 2020 we also began taking steps towards a safe and orderly ramp down of operations at Peñasquito in Mexico and placed the operations on care and maintenance on April 12, 2020. While we are taking steps to ensure that we are well-positioned to safely and quickly resume normal production once protective measures are lifted, if at any point we determine that continuing operations poses an increased risk to our workforce or host communities, we will further reduce operational activities and limit activities to essential care and maintenance procedures including the management of critical environmental systems. Additionally, we have established a global supply chain task force to assess all potential supply chain risks and develop viable contingency plans that enable us to stay ahead of any potential supply disruptions. Such reductions in our operational activities or disruptions to our supply chain could have a material adverse impact on our business, or financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have increased volatility in metal prices including strengthening gold prices while weakening other metal prices. The Company expects gold prices to remain strong while uncertainty in global financial markets continue, interest rates remain at historical lows and as governments continue stimulus efforts. Although we have not had significant shipping delays for produced metals, and third party refineries that were temporarily closed at March 31, 2020 have since opened, logistical challenges in the transportation industries, future closures of processing facilities including refineries or smelters, supply chain disruptions or the potential to place additional sites on care and maintenance from the continued spread of COVID-19 could limit our ability to produce and sell metals. We may also incur expenses related to COVID-19 that include costs associated with putting our operations into care and maintenance, health related costs pursuant to our self-funded employee medical insurance program, or we may experience diminished employee or vendor attendance and productivity, all of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Refer to “Consolidated Financial Results” and “Results of Consolidated Operations” within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional information about the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations.

Liquidity considerations

Newmont believes it has sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during this volatile period. We will continuously review and assess the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business, our people, the communities in which we operate, our suppliers and our customers to be responsive to developments while maintaining financial flexibility. As of March 31, 2020, our available liquidity totals $6.6 billion consisting of our cash and cash equivalents of $3.7 billion, and borrowing capacity of $2.9 billion available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which we believe allows us to manage the near-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

The Company announced the first quarter dividend on April 21, 2020, for $0.25 in alignment with the previously announced dividend increase and repurchased shares under the December 2019 share buyback plan for an additional $321 during the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s management and board of directors continue to monitor Newmont’s future quarterly dividends and timing of future share buybacks as it evaluates the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional information about the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity and capital resources.

Refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for an additional discussion of risks and potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware 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. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on February 20, 2020 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.

On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). As of the effective date, the Company contributed its Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon operations ("existing Nevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of its Nevada mining operations and assets. Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility, and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM.

References to “C$” refer to Canadian currency.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements, impacts of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s decision to reprioritize or abandon a development project can adversely affect the Company’s ability to recover its investment in certain assets and result in impairment charges.

During the first quarter of 2020 and subsequent to March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In response, the Company has placed the Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha operations temporarily into care and maintenance during the first quarter and took steps towards a safe and orderly ramp down of Peñasquito subsequent to March 31, 2020, while the remaining operations continue to operate. The impact of this pandemic could include additional sites being placed into care and maintenance, significant COVID-19 specific costs, volatility in the prices for gold and other metals, logistical challenges shipping our products, delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restraints, other supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets and Goodwill.

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.

Credit Losses

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.

The Company holds certain financial instruments that are exposed to credit losses. The Company assesses each counterparty's ability to pay by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers our expected exposure, timing of payment, contract terms and conditions, and the counterparty's creditworthiness based on established credit ratings and financial position. We monitor ongoing credit exposure through

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

review of counterparty balances against contract terms and due dates. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the underlying instrument utilizing various measurement methods. These include discounted cash flow and probability-of-default methods.

Investments

Management classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. The Company accounts for its investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting. The ability to exercise significant influence is typically presumed when the Company possesses 20% or more of the voting interests in the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company increases its investment for contributions made and records its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends and partnership distributions based on the most recently available financial statements of the investee. In addition, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. Declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to Other Income, net. Equity method investments are included in Investments.

Additionally, the Company has certain marketable equity and debt securities. Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in Other income, net. The Company accounts for its restricted marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") investments, net of taxes, are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Total equity, unless an impairment is deemed to be credit-related. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to Other Income, net.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules

Credit Losses

In June 2016, ASU No. 2016-13 was issued which, together with subsequent amendments, is included in ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The standard changes the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss” model.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $5 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

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. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Statements

In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) finalized its proposed updates to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (the “Rule”). The Rule simplifies the disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of securities that are registered or being registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Rule also eliminates the requirement to disclose condensed consolidating financial information within the financial statements for qualifying entities and permits abbreviated disclosures of the guarantor/issuer relationship within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 and voluntary compliance prior to the effective date is permitted. The Company adopted the Rule effective January 1, 2020 and, as such, no longer includes condensed consolidating financial information within Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. Abbreviated disclosures regarding the nature and relationship of debt guarantor/issuer relationships can now be found in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis under Subsidiary Guarantor Information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Equity Securities, Investments and Certain Forward Contracts and Options

In January 2020, ASU No. 2020-01 was issued which clarifies the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is completing its assessment of the impacts of this guidance and the anticipated adoption date.

Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its assessment of the impacts of this guidance and the anticipated adoption date.

NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On April 18, 2019, Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, in which Newmont was the acquirer. The acquisition of Goldcorp increased the Company’s gold and other metal reserves and expanded the operating jurisdictions.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:


Newmont stock issued (285 million shares at $33.04 per share)	$	9,423
Cash paid to Goldcorp shareholders	17
Other non-cash consideration	16
Total consideration	$	9,456

The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price of Goldcorp has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and cost valuation methods. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill balance is mainly attributable to: (i) the acquisition of existing operating mines with access to an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by new entrants; (ii) operating synergies anticipated from the integration of the operations of Newmont and Goldcorp; (iii) the application of Newmont’s Full Potential program and potential strategic and financial benefits that include the increase in reserve base and opportunities to identify additional mineralization through exploration activities; and (iv) the financial flexibility to execute capital priorities.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had not yet fully completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore the purchase price allocation for Goldcorp is preliminary. At March 31, 2020, remaining items to finalize include the fair value of unrecognized tax benefits and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, based on information available at the acquisition date. The Company does not anticipate any changes to be material to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made throughout the end of Newmont’s measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Goldcorp transaction as of March 31, 2020:


Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	117
Trade receivables	95
Investments	169
Equity method investments ⁽¹⁾	2,796
Inventories ⁽²⁾	500
Stockpiles and ore on leach pads	57
Property, plant & mine development ⁽³⁾	11,054
Goodwill ⁽⁴⁾	2,542
Deferred income tax assets ⁽⁵⁾	206
Other assets	508
Total assets	18,044

Liabilities:
Debt ⁽⁶⁾	3,304
Accounts payable	240
Employee-related benefits	182
Income and mining taxes payable	20
Lease and other financing obligations	423
Reclamation and remediation liabilities ⁽⁷⁾	897
Deferred income tax liabilities ⁽⁵⁾	1,430
Silver streaming agreement ⁽⁸⁾	1,165
Other liabilities ⁽⁹⁾	927
Total liabilities	8,588
Net assets acquired	$	9,456

____________________________

⁽¹⁾The preliminary fair value of the equity method investments was determined by applying the income valuation method. The income valuation method relies on a discounted cash flow model and projected financial results. Discount rates for the discounted cash flow models are based on capital structures for similar market participants and included various risk premiums that account for risks associated with the specific investments.

⁽²⁾During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $(34) decreased Inventories, primarily due to further refinement of the materials and supplies obsolescence reserves.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

⁽³⁾The preliminary fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods and includes a provision for the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations related to the long-lived tangible assets.

⁽⁴⁾Preliminary goodwill attributable to the North America and South America reportable segments is $2,083 and $459, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company identified and recorded measurement period adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation that was disclosed in prior periods, as a result of additional analysis performed. These adjustments, which existed at the date of acquisition, primarily include increased Reclamation and remediation liabilities, updates to the deferred income tax balances, and decreased materials and supplies inventory, which resulted in Goodwill increasing by $5 during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company also reclassified $84 of goodwill previously allocated to the Red Lake reporting unit, and included in Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019, to other reporting units in the North America reportable segment as a result of refinements to deferred tax liability allocations that existed at the acquisition date.

⁽⁵⁾Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense associated with the differences between the preliminary fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the preliminary fair value allocated to goodwill. During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $(36) decreased Deferred income tax liabilities, primarily due to updated estimates of tax basis balances that existed at the acquisition date, and the tax impact of the other measurement period adjustments described above and recorded during the quarter.

⁽⁶⁾The preliminary fair value of the Goldcorp Senior Notes is measured using a market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired debt; $1,250 of borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit agreements approximate fair value.

⁽⁷⁾The preliminary fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities. During the first quarter of 2020, measurement period adjustments of $15 were made to Reclamation and remediation liabilities, as a result of additional analysis performed by the Company and third party specialists to estimate the closure cost requirements that existed as of the acquisition date.

⁽⁸⁾The preliminary fair value of the acquired silver streaming intangible liability is valued by using the income valuation method. Key assumptions in the income valuation method include long-term silver prices, level of silver production over the life of mine and discount rates.

⁽⁹⁾Other liabilities includes the preliminary balance of $450 related to unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties.

The measurement period adjustments discussed above had an immaterial impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $826 and Goldcorp net income (loss) of $152 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has organized its operations into five geographic regions: North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada, which also represent Newmont’s reportable and 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:

Asset Sales

Kalgoorlie

The Company entered into a binding agreement dated December 17, 2019, to sell its 50% interest in Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (“Kalgoorlie”), included as part of the Australia segment, to Northern Star Resources Limited (“Northern Star”). The Company completed the sale on January 2, 2020, and pursuant to the terms of the agreement, received proceeds of $800 in cash for its interests in Kalgoorlie.

NOTE 6 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 Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019

Reclamation accretion	$	34	$	26
Total reclamation expense	34		26

Additions, changes in estimates and other	(2)		—



Payments, net	(5)		(4)
Accretion expense	2		1
Remediation balance at March 31,	$	294	$	276

The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $96 and $125 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $43 and $44 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $3,366 and $3,334, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating and formerly 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $294 and $299, 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 37% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2020. 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $56 and $53 respectively, of non-current restricted cash held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at March 31, 2020, $47 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa, $5 related to NGM in Nevada, United States and $4 was related to the Midnite (Dawn) mine site in Washington, United States. Of the amounts at December 31, 2019, $47 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa, $5 related to NGM in Nevada, United States and $1 was related to the Midnite (Dawn) mine site in Washington, United States.

NOTE 16 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).

The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

⁽¹⁾Marketable equity securities includes warrants reported in the Maverix Metals Inc. equity method investment balance of $6 and $13 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

⁽²⁾Debt is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $6,116 and $6,138 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 derivative instruments above are immaterial. 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 equivalents) are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional metal concentrate sales, which contain an embedded derivative and are subject to final pricing, are valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves 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 marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values 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 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, 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 marketable equity securities, which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are based on quoted market prices available in active markets.

The estimated fair value of the Red Lake contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) estimates of new mineralization discoveries, and (iii) estimates of mineralization conversion. The contingent consideration was determined to be a financial instrument that met the definition of a derivative, but does not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815. It is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Red Lake contingent consideration. Increases in the new mineralization discoveries and mineralization conversion probability will result in a corresponding increase of the Red Lake contingent consideration. The Company recorded the initial gain from obtaining the contingent consideration to Gain on asset and investment sales. Ongoing mark-to-market changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be recorded to Other income, net.

The estimated fair 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. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease in the Batu Hijau contingent consideration. Increases in the copper price will result in a corresponding increase of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration.

The Company’s derivative instruments consist of fixed forward contracts. These derivative instruments are valued using pricing models, and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. 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 derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 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. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Holt royalty obligation. Increases in the gold price and production scenarios will result in a corresponding increase of the Holt royalty obligation.

The Company’s liability-classified stock-based compensation awards consist of cash-settled Goldcorp share awards which become payable in cash on the vesting date. These awards are valued each reporting period based on the quoted Newmont stock price. As the awards themselves are not traded on the exchange, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of an unrestricted convertible debenture with Continental (the “Continental Convertible Debt”). The estimated fair value of the host debt instrument 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. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Continental Convertible Debt. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the convertible debenture. Refer to Note 17 for further information.

The Continental conversion option is an embedded derivative in the Continental Convertible Debt agreement. 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. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the conversion option. Refer to Note 17 for further information.

The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

purchases, net of subsequent sales, were included in Other income, net and the net amount is immaterial. There were no amounts due to or due from Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchases as of March 31, 2020.

Continental Gold, Inc.

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 had the ability to exercise significant influence over Continental and concluded that the investment qualified 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.

Additionally, in March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible debt agreement with Continental totaling $50. The debt was convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The debt was an unrestricted marketable debt security and was classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of the marketable debt security was $39 as of December 31, 2019 and was included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The conversion feature was identified as an embedded derivative, which was bifurcated from the host instrument and included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The fair value of the conversion option was $51 as of December 31, 2019. Changes in the conversion option fair value were included in Other Income, net.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a contractual arrangement to sell its entire interest in Continental, including its convertible debt, to Zijin Mining Group. The Company completed the sale on March 4, 2020, and pursuant to the terms of the agreement, received cash proceeds of $253. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $91 included in Gain on asset and investment sales.

TMAC Resources, Inc.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $93, in Other income, net related to TMAC. The impairment charge was calculated using quoted market prices as of March 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $1,000 unsecured Senior Notes due October 1, 2030 (“2030 Senior Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes were $985. The 2030 Senior Notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.250% per annum. The proceeds from this issuance, supplemented with cash from the Company's balance sheet, were primarily used to fund the debt tender offers of the 2022 Senior Notes, the 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and the 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes in March 2020.

In March 2020, the Company launched the debt tender offers to purchase portions of its 2022 Senior Notes, 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and 2023 Goldcorp Senior notes for cash. The tender offers included an early tender period that settled in March 2020 and a final tender period that settled in April 2020. In March 2020, the Company purchased approximately $495 of its 2022 Senior Notes, $487 of its 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and $18 of its 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes related to its early tender period offers. The Company recorded a net pre-tax loss of $66 in Other income, net as a result of these debt tender offers. Additionally, the Company reclassified losses of $8 to Other income, net from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the acceleration of the unrealized losses on the forward starting swap contracts which were previously settled with the issuance of the 2022 Senior Notes. In April 2020, the Company purchased approximately $5 of its 2022 Senior Notes and $81 of its 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes through its final tender period offers. The Company expects to record a pre-tax loss of $3 as a result of the final tender period offers in April 2020.

Environmental Matters

Refer to Note 6 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. The parties have finalized the ASAOC and the USFS is completing publication in the Federal Register for the 30-day public review and comment prior to becoming effective.

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 awaiting the approval of the new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit). Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. Newmont is managing the remediation project during the 2020 construction season with a focus on the Pit 4 backfill and the start of Phase 2 remediation activities.

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 $165 at March 31, 2020.

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. From 2011 to the first quarter of 2020, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. The water authority that is in charge of supervising the proper water administration has also issued notices of alleged regulatory violations in previous years. 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 active in 2020 range from zero to 146,165 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001247 based on current exchange rates, with a total potential fine amount for outstanding matters of $0 to $182.3. Yanacocha is 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

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

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 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 was selected to issue a decision and the parties conducted oral arguments in April 2019. In early February 2020, the additional judge ruled in favor of the tax authority, finalizing a decision of the Peru Supreme Court against Yanacocha. As a result of the decision, the amount of $29 was recognized during the quarter, but Yanacocha filed an action objecting to potential excessive interest of up to $60. 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$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 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 on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliament ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliament ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent, and; (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

On December 18, 2019, an individual plaintiff filed a writ against NGGL and other named defendants, including the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana, and other mining companies with interests in Ghana, seeking the same relief sought in the above-referenced case, plus perpetual and interlocutory injunctive relief to cease operations against NGGL and the other mining companies. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Goldcorp, Inc. 100% Newmont Owned

Shareholder Action. On October 28, 2016 and February 14, 2017, separate proposed class actions were commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. Both statement of claims alleged common law negligent misrepresentation in Goldcorp, Inc.’s public disclosure concerning the Peñasquito mine and also pleaded an intention to seek leave from the Court to proceed with an allegation of statutory misrepresentation pursuant to the secondary market civil liability provisions under the Securities Act (Ontario). By a consent order, the latter lawsuit will proceed, and the former action has been stayed. The active lawsuit purports to be brought on behalf of persons who acquired Goldcorp Inc.’s securities in the secondary market during an alleged class period from October 30, 2014 to August 23, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Mexico Tax Matters

Tax Reassessment from Mexican Tax Authority. During 2016, the Mexican Tax Authority issued reassessment notices for two of Goldcorp, Inc.’s Mexican subsidiaries primarily related to a reduction in the amount of deductible interest paid on related party debt by those subsidiaries during their 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, and the disallowance of certain intra company fees and expenses. The 2008 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $11 of income tax, interest, and penalties. The 2009 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $102 of income tax, interest and penalties relating to the reduction in the amount of intra group interest payments. In the first quarter of 2020, settlement discussions progressed on these matters and the Company expects to reach a settlement by the end of the year for significantly less than the reassessment.

A separate Mexican subsidiary of Goldcorp, Inc. received reassessments from the Mexican Tax Authority for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and audit observations relating to fiscal years 2010 through 2017. Disputed items include the treatment of intercompany charges, interest on related party debt, deductibility of mine stripping costs and the gain recognized on the sale of the mine. In the second quarter of 2019, significant progress in settling a number of years and issues was made, resulting in $96 payment, which was fully accrued in the financial statements. In the first quarter of 2020, settlement was reached with the Mexican Tax Authority for 2008 through 2010 for an immaterial amount, with conversations continuing for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2014 through 2017.

The outcome of these disputes is not readily determinable but could have a material impact on the Company. The Company believes that its tax positions are valid and intends to vigorously defend its tax filing positions.

State of Zacatecas’ Ecological Tax. In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new environmental taxes that became effective January 1, 2017. Certain operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine may be subject to these taxes. Payments are due monthly in arrears with the first payment due on February 17, 2017. Further, the Company believes that there is no legal basis for the taxes and filed legal claims challenging their constitutionality and legality on March 9, 2017. Other companies similarly situated also filed legal claims against the taxes. The Mexican federal government also filed a claim before the National Supreme Court against the State of Zacatecas challenging whether the State of Zacatecas had the constitutional authority to implement the taxes. On February 11, 2019, the National Supreme Court of Mexico ruled that the State of Zacatecas has the constitutional authority to implement environmental taxes, and that ruling was not subject to appeal. The Company’s case continued, and although there was an initial ruling in favor of the Company, this ruling was appealed by the local tax authorities. On October 15, 2019, the First Collegiate Circuit Court of the Auxiliary Center of the Eleventh Region reversed the favorable ruling (except with respect to one issue, which was affirmed in the Company’s favor). While the First Collegiate Circuit Court’s ruling is not subject to further appeal and the Company currently has no legal challenges active with the Mexican courts, the Company is nonetheless not able to calculate the environmental taxes with sufficient reliability given that: (a) the legislation is broadly worded and despite the years of inquiries, the State of Zacatecas has not put forward any guidance on how the tax would be levied; and (b) certain claims by other companies similarly situated are still being resolved by the Supreme Court, the results of which may change the taxes payable by the Company. The Company, along with other companies in the State of Zacatecas, is continuing to meet with governmental authorities to understand how the environmental tax would be levied and has recorded immaterial amounts as potential estimates for the amount of the taxes.

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.

As part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Newmont assumed deferred payments to Barrick of $153 as of March 31, 2020 to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of project expenditures at the Norte Abierto project. These deferred payments to Barrick are included in Other non-current liabilities.

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 Corporation, a Delaware 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” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis.

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, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020.

Overview

Newmont is the world’s leading gold company 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 13 consecutive years and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. We are 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.”), Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia and Ghana.

During the first quarter of 2020 and subsequent to March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic escalated to a global pandemic, which has had varying impacts in the jurisdictions in which we operate. In response, we have fully mobilized our business continuity plans and rapid response teams and are working closely with host communities, regional and national governments and health experts to protect our workforce and nearby communities. In March 2020, this included placing Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha temporarily into care and maintenance, though gold production from leach pads continues at Yanacocha. In April 2020, we also took steps to safely ramp down operations at Peñasquito. Operations placed in care and maintenance will be positioned so they can safely and quickly resume normal production once protective measures have been lifted. Our remaining sites continue to operate. Refer to the “First Quarter 2020 Highlights”, “Results of Consolidated Operations”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, “Accounting Developments” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further information about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company.

On April 18, 2019 (the “acquisition date”), Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”), an Ontario corporation. The Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp in a primarily stock transaction (the “Newmont Goldcorp transaction”) for total cash and non-cash consideration of $9,456. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, includes the results of operations acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction since April 18, 2019. For further information, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). As of the effective date, the Company contributed its Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon mines ("existing Nevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of its Nevada mining operations and assets. Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, includes the results of operations of NGM since July 1, 2019.

We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading environmental, social and governance practices, and sustaining our global portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to strategically reinvest in the business, strengthen the Company’s investment-grade balance sheet and return cash to shareholders.

Consolidated Financial Results

The details of our Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders are set forth below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Increase (decrease)

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted	$	1.04	$	0.21	$	0.83

The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to the recognized gain on the sales of Kalgoorlie, Continental Gold, Inc. ("Continental") and Red Lake in 2020, higher income tax benefits in 2020 due to the release of tax valuation allowances, higher production due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by the change in fair value of investments, the impairment charge of TMAC Resources, Inc. ("TMAC") and charges from debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For discussion regarding variations in production volumes and unit cost metrics, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The increase in gold sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to new production from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and higher average realized gold prices. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The decrease in copper sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product for NGM, lower production at Boddington and lower average realized copper prices. For the comparable periods in 2019, the Company recognized copper sales at its Phoenix operation as a co-product. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The silver, lead and zinc sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020 are associated with production at Peñasquito resulting from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Silver sales at all other Newmont operations are recognized as a by-product credit to Costs applicable to sales. See Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The increase in Depreciation and amortization for gold during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to new production associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the formation of NGM, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments.

The decrease in Depreciation and amortization for copper for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product for NGM.

Depreciation and amortization for silver, lead and zinc during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is associated with production at Peñasquito resulting from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

For discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Reclamation and remediation increased by $8 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher reclamation accretion costs from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

Exploration expense increased by $3 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to new exploration opportunities acquired through the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, partially offset by decreased spending in Nevada due to the formation of NGM and decreased spending in Australia due to the sale of Kalgoorlie.

Advanced projects, research and development expense was in line during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction offset by lower spend in Nevada due to formation of NGM.

General and administrative expense increased by $6 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. General and administrative expense as a percentage of Sales was 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 3.3% in the same period in 2019.

Other expense, net decreased $15 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to decreases in transaction costs associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and legal costs associated with the Nevada JV Agreement, including hostile defense fees. The decrease is partially offset by higher integration costs related to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and direct care and maintenance and COVID-19 specific costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gain on asset and investment sales increased $592 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to the sale of Kalgoorlie in Australia, the Red Lake complex in Canada and our investment in Continental. See Note 4 for additional information of the sales of Kalgoorlie and Red Lake and Note 17 for additional information on the sale of Continental.

Other income, net decreased by $233 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments of our investment in TMAC, decreases to the fair value of investments and debt extinguishment charges. This decrease was partially offset by foreign currency exchange gains in 2020.

Table of Contents

Interest expense, net increased by $24 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased debt balances as a result of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and a decrease in capitalized interest.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $(23) and $125 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies; (vii) 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 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

⁽¹⁰⁾In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for income taxes is adjusted to equal the consolidated tax rate.

⁽¹¹⁾The consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to our combined effective income tax rate.

On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCR Act), and on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) were each enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FFCR Act and the CARES Act contain numerous income tax provisions such as the accelerated recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits and relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and on the use of net operating losses. The Company has analyzed this legislation and has determined that it has no effect on the current quarter income tax expense. However, due to the provision accelerating the recoverability of alternative minimum tax

credits, the Company expects to receive a refund of all outstanding alternative minimum tax credits by the end of the calendar year and has now reflected these amounts as a prepaid tax.

In addition to the FFCR and CARES Acts, governments in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, passed legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has evaluated these provisions and determined there is no impact on the current quarter income tax expense.

Equity income (loss) of affiliates was $37 and $(5) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase is primarily due to income of $48 from the Pueblo Viejo mine, which was acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, earnings before income taxes and depreciation and amortization related to the Pueblo Viejo Mine (“Pueblo Viejo EBITDA”) was $101. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis. For additional information regarding our Equity income (loss) of affiliates, see Note 10.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(15) and $(26) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in the Holt royalty obligation resulting from an increase in the expected gold price, partially offset by a decrease in the discount rate and a decrease in production from prior periods. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations was $2 and $32 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change is due to an increased net loss at Yanacocha.

Results of Consolidated Operations

Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”) metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using Gold ($1,200/oz.), Copper ($2.75/lb.), Silver ($16/oz.), Lead ($0.95/lb.) and Zinc ($1.20/lb.) pricing for 2020 and Gold ($1,200/oz.) and Copper ($2.75/lb.) pricing for 2019.

During March 2020 we placed the Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha mine sites temporarily into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and recognized $20 of cash and $7 of non-cash care and maintenance costs included in Other expense, net and Depreciation and amortization, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020 our other mines continued operating and have implemented heightened levels of health screening including, but not limited to, canceling non-essential travel, establishing temperature and questionnaire screening at entry points to sites, establishing flexible and remote working plans for employees, establishing screening for fly-in-fly-out employees prior to their departures from their home communities, mandatory self-quarantine for anyone who has travelled internationally or has any flu-like symptoms and implementing “social distancing” requirements. We incurred $2 of incremental direct costs related to our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, also included in Other expense, net, as a result of these and other actions taken to protect our employees and operations.

In April 2020, we also took steps to safely ramp down operations at Peñasquito leading to a temporary halt on April 12, 2020. If at any point we determine that continuing operations at our remaining sites poses an increased risk to our workforce or host communities, we will reduce operational activities and limit activities to essential care and maintenance procedures including the management of critical environmental systems. Such reductions could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 2019

Consolidated gold production increased 10% primarily due to new production from Éléonore, Porcupine, Peñasquito and Red Lake in North America and Cerro Negro in South America, partially offset by the sale of Kalgoorlie in Australia and lower ore grade milled at Ahafo in Africa and Yanacocha and Merian in South America. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha operations were temporarily halted as the mines were placed on care and maintenance in an effort to protect our workforce and nearby communities.

Consolidated gold equivalent ounces – other metals production increased 606% primarily due to new production at Peñasquito in North America, partially offset by the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix following the formation of NGM.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce increased 11% primarily due to lower ore grade mined and higher leach pad inventory adjustments at Yanacocha in South America, lower ore grade mined and higher gold-price driven royalties at Merian in South America, in addition to lower ounces sold, higher gold-price driven royalties and higher strip ratio at Ahafo in Africa, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold as a result of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 29% primarily due to higher gold equivalent ounces – other metals sold, a favorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate, no stockpile inventory adjustment and lower copper royalties at Boddington in Australia, in addition to the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix in Nevada following the formation of NGM.

Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce increased 46% primarily due to higher amortization rates from asset additions including new assets acquired following the completion of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the formation of NGM, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. Included in Depreciation and amortization is $7 relating to care and maintenance costs. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals increased 39% primarily due to higher amortization rates from new assets acquired at Peñasquito following the completion of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

Yanacocha, Peru. On March 16, 2020 the Yanacocha operations were temporarily halted as the operations were placed on care and maintenance due to government travel restrictions in-country in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the operations being placed on care and maintenance, gold production from leach pads and critical safety, security and environmental management activities continue, also we continue to work closely with local authorities and unions to explore ways to restart certain limited operations, while adhering to government restrictions and requirements and health care considerations. We recognized $4 of cash and $2 of non-cash care and maintenance costs included in Other expense, net and Depreciation and amortization, respectively, at Yanacocha in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, gold production decreased 15% primarily due to lower ore grade milled as a result of lower ore grade mined, in addition to the site being placed on care and maintenance, partially offset by higher leach production. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 59% primarily due to lower ore grade mined and higher leach pad inventory adjustments. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 107% primarily due to higher amortization rates as a result of Quecher Main achieving commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2019 and higher leach pad inventory adjustments. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 53% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce, higher reclamation costs and care and maintenance costs.

Merian, Suriname. Gold production decreased 10% primarily due to lower ore grade milled as a result of lower ore grade mined, a lower draw-down of in-circuit inventory and lower recovery, partially offset by higher mill throughput. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 29% primarily due to lower ore grade mined and higher gold price-driven royalties. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 20% due to lower gold ounces sold and higher amortization rates from asset additions. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 23% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce, partially offset by lower sustaining capital spend.

Cerro Negro, Argentina. Cerro Negro was acquired during the second quarter of 2019 as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Gold production at Cerro Negro was 72,000 gold ounces in the first quarter of 2020. Production and cost metrics this quarter were impacted negatively due to back-fill and development delays leading to lack of access to higher grade stopes and unscheduled maintenance at the crusher impacting cement rock fill production for back-fill. On March 20, 2020 the Cerro Negro operations were temporarily halted as the operations were placed on care and maintenance due to Argentina halting all domestic flights and mass transportation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Essential activities to maintain infrastructure, continue environmental management, provide security and perform ground control requirements continue while the operations are in care and maintenance. We recognized $7 of cash and $3 of non-cash care and maintenance costs included in Other expense, net and Depreciation and amortization, respectively, at Cerro Negro in the first quarter of 2020.

Nevada Gold Mines. Attributable gold production at Nevada Gold Mines was 329,000 gold ounces in the first quarter of 2020. Efforts continued to be focused on achieving synergies and optimizing the operations. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce reflects the fair value of assets upon the formation of NGM on July 1, 2019.

Carlin, USA. The Carlin mine site was included in the transaction with Barrick that closed on July 1, 2019 establishing the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

Phoenix, USA. The Phoenix mine site was included in the transaction with Barrick that closed on July 1, 2019 establishing the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

Twin Creeks, USA. The Twin Creeks mine site was included in the transaction with Barrick that closed on July 1, 2019 establishing the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

Long Canyon, USA. The Long Canyon mine site was included in the transaction with Barrick that closed on July 1, 2019 establishing the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc are sold throughout the world in U.S. dollars. Despite selling gold and silver in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.

Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Surinamese dollar. Approximately 45% and 31% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and

Table of Contents

2019, respectively, including approximately 16% denominated in the Australian dollar, 13% denominated in the Canadian dollar and 11% denominated in the Mexican peso 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 $11 per ounce during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in Australia.

Our Cerro Negro mine, which was acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and located in Argentina, is a U.S. dollar functional currency entity. On September 1, 2019, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency (“currency controls”). These currency controls include conversion requirements of export proceeds to local currency, limits on banks’ use of foreign currency, restrictions on individuals’ foreign currency purchases, and the reintroduction of affidavits to verify foreign currency transactions comply with regulations. Argentina has also been considered a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years. Since the currency controls were enacted, the Company is required to convert metal sales proceeds to the Argentine Peso within five business days from receipt of cash at Cerro Negro and obtain central bank approval for any dividends or distributions to the parent company. While we have balances denominated in Argentine pesos that relate to accounts payable and employee-related liabilities and tax receivables and liabilities, the majority of Cerro Negro’s activity has historically been denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, a component of the deferred tax liability is carried in Argentine pesos, which is impacted by fluctuations in the Argentine peso exchange rate. The currency controls have not had a significant impact on our financial statements in the first quarter of 2020. We have been successful in distributing cash from Cerro Negro through registered intercompany debt and do not expect the currency controls to have a significant impact on our liquidity.

Our Merian mine is located in the country of Suriname, which has experienced significant swings in inflation rates for the last three years. On March 24, 2020, Suriname's central bank enacted the Act Controlling Currency Transactions and Transactions Bureaus in an effort to stabilize the local currency (the "Act"). This Act includes a provision on the repatriation of export earnings and restrictions on imports; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place superseding these provisions. Therefore, we do not expect there to be a current or future impact to our operations or financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We have a disciplined cash allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for 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 and share repurchases.

During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our workforce, their families and neighboring communities in which we operate, we have put selected operations temporarily into care and maintenance during March 2020 and ramped down operations at Peñasquito in April 2020, while others continue to operate. We have not had significant shipping delays for produced metals, and third party refineries that were temporarily closed at March 31, 2020 have since reopened. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional sites could be placed into care and maintenance; transportation industry disruptions could occur, including limitations on shipping produced metals; refineries or smelters could be temporarily closed; our supply chain could be disrupted; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. As of March 31, 2020, our available liquidity totals $6,637, consisting of our cash and cash equivalents of $3,709 and borrowing capacity of $2,928 available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which we believe allows us to manage the near-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

In December 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $1 billion of common stock to be repurchased in the next 12 months. Through March 31, 2020, we have executed trades totaling $800 of common stock repurchases, of which $321 were settled as of March 31, 2020 and $479 were settled as of December 31, 2019. In January 2020, we announced a plan to increase our quarterly dividend from $0.14 per share to $0.25 per share. In April 2020, the Board approved and declared the first quarter dividend of $0.25. The Company’s management and board of directors continue to monitor Newmont’s future quarterly dividends and timing of future share buybacks as it monitors the ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At March 31, 2020, the Company had $3,709 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,177 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, 2020, $429 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, 2020, $1,040 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($628 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 are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.

We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations, pay dividends and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2020, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $2,928 and we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We do not expect any limitations on our ability to access our revolving credit facility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and there have been no impacts to-date, nor do we anticipate any negative impacts from COVID-19, on our ability to access funds available on this facility.

Cash Flows

Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized as follows:


	March 31,
	2020		2019
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations	$	939	$	574
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations	(3)		(3)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	936	$	571

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	1,123	$	(275)

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(586)	$	(143)

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $939 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $365 from the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to higher sales from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and a higher average realized gold price.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $1,123 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase in cash provided of $1,398 from the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to the sale of the Kalgoorlie and Red Lake operations in 2020, the sale of our investment in Continental Gold in 2020, Return of investment from equity method investees of $43 in 2020 related to Pueblo Viejo, and lower Purchases of investments, partially offset by higher Additions to property, plant and mine development.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(586) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase in cash used of $443 from the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to 2020 repurchases of common stock under the share buyback plan, increases in dividends paid to stockholders due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2020 and the early tendering of portions of the 2022 and 2023 Senior Notes that were only partially offset by issuance of the 2.25% 2030 Senior Notes.

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. In addition, with the successful consummation of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company is focused on reprioritization of development projects in its pipeline to ensure that it executes on its capital priorities and provides long-term value to shareholders. The Company’s decision to reprioritize or abandon a development project could result in a future impairment charge.

Debt

Debt and Corporate Revolving Credit Facilities

There were no material changes to our debt and corporate revolving credit facilities since December 31, 2019, except as noted in Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019, for information regarding our debt and corporate revolving credit facilities.

Debt Covenants

There were no material changes to our debt covenants, except as noted in Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019, for information regarding our debt covenants.

At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

In September 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries. A list of our outstanding debt securities guaranteed by Newmont USA is included in Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report. These guarantees are full and unconditional, and no other of our subsidiaries guarantees any security issued and outstanding. There are no restrictions on the ability of Newmont, as issuer, or Newmont USA, as guarantor (collectively, the “Obligor Group”), to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend, loan or otherwise. Additionally, the cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group and all of its subsidiaries is available to satisfy debt repayments as they

become due, except to the extent of any rights of noncontrolling interests. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $929 and $950 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 38.5% interest in NGM and 51.35% interest in Yanacocha. Prior to July 1, 2019, Newmont USA included certain operations from our existing Nevada mining operations, which were contributed in exchange for our 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these operations, see Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Results of Consolidated Operations. For further information regarding Newmont’s other operations, see our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Results of Consolidated Operations.

In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s assets consisted primarily of the following assets and liabilities as the remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial:


	Obligor Group						Newmont USA
	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Current intercompany assets	$	10,240	$	11,407	$	3,877	$	3,669
Non-current intercompany assets	$	2,254	$	2,286	$	420	$	472
Current intercompany liabilities	$	7,870	$	9,167	$	1,829	$	1,814
Current external debt	$	5	$	—	$	—	$	—

Non-current external debt	$	5,853	$	5,815	$	—	$	—

Newmont USA's subsidiary guarantees (the “subsidiary guarantees”) are general unsecured senior obligations of Newmont USA and rank equal in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's future subordinated indebtedness. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont USA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont USA had approximately $5,858 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.

Under the terms of the subsidiary guarantees, holders of Newmont’s securities subject to such subsidiary guarantees will not be required to exercise their remedies against Newmont before they proceed directly against Newmont USA.

Newmont USA will be released and relieved from all its obligations under the subsidiary guarantees in certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:

•upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates);

•upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates); or

•upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at March 31, 2020, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).

Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At March 31, 2020, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $6,739 , none of which was secured (other than $623 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $6,195 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany and external debt and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.

For further information on Newmont’s debt subject to the subsidiary guarantees, see Note 20 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and see Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2019, except as noted in Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019 for information regarding our contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2019. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019, for information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Table of Contents

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Part II, Item 7, Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the headings “Environmental” and “Critical Accounting Policies” and refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed February 20, 2020 on Form 10-K.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 6 and 24 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 11 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 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:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

⁽¹⁾For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽²⁾(Gain) loss on asset and investment sales, included in Gain on asset and investment sales, primarily represents a $493 gain on the sale of Kalgoorlie in January 2020, a $91 gain on the sale of Continental and a $9 gain on the sale of Red Lake in March 2020.

⁽³⁾Change in fair value of investments, included in Other income, net, primarily represents unrealized holding gains and losses on marketable equity securities and our investment instruments. For additional information regarding our investments, see Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽⁴⁾Impairment of investments, included in Other income, net, primarily represents the other-than-temporary impairment of the TMAC investment recorded in March 2020.

⁽⁵⁾Loss on debt extinguishment, included in Other income, net, primarily represents losses on the extinguishment of the 2022 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes.

⁽⁶⁾Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, included in Other expense, net, primarily represents costs incurred related to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction completed during 2019.

⁽⁷⁾Restructuring and other, included in Other expense, net, primarily represents certain costs associated with severance, legal and other settlements.

⁽⁸⁾COVID-19 specific costs, included in Other expense, net, represents incremental direct costs incurred as a result of actions taken to protect against the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

⁽⁹⁾Nevada JV transaction and integration costs, included in Other expense, net, primarily represents costs incurred related to the Nevada JV Agreement, including hostile defense fees, during 2019.

⁽¹⁰⁾Impairment of long-lived assets, included in Other expense, net, represents non-cash write-downs of long-lived assets.

⁽¹¹⁾Adjusted EBITDA has not been adjusted for $20 of cash care and maintenance costs, included in Other expense, net, which primarily represent costs incurred associated with our Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro sites being temporarily placed into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the period ended March 31, 2020.

Additionally, the Company uses Pueblo Viejo EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate the operating performance of its investment in the Pueblo Viejo mine. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Equity income (loss) of affiliates, as defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash distributions from Pueblo Viejo will match Pueblo Viejo EBITDA or earnings from affiliates. Although the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, it does not have direct control over the operations or resulting revenues and expenses, nor does it proportionately consolidate its investment in Pueblo Viejo. The Company believes that Pueblo Viejo EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the operating results of its investment in Pueblo Viejo, in the same manner as management and the Board of Directors. Equity income (loss) of affiliates is reconciled to Pueblo Viejo EBITDA as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

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:

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.

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.

Table of Contents

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/gold equivalent ounce

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce 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

Table of Contents

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) 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:

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 other metals at our Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines. The other metals CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines is based upon the relative sales value of gold and other metals 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 other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix 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 other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix 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 other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix 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. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

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. 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 and are excluded from the calculation of AISC. 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 other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

COVID-19 Assessment

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic described above we have reviewed and evaluated our long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable for long-lived assets and determined that no impairment indicators existed as of March 31, 2020. Developments have been occurring rapidly with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on human health and businesses. However, as of March 31, 2020, we determined that despite temporarily placing certain operations on care and maintenance, our long-lived assets had no impairment indicators as the restrictions are viewed as temporary and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including those assets placed on care and maintenance.

Additionally, we considered whether the COVID-19 pandemic required an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our reporting units, including reporting units that include mines placed on care and maintenance, to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value and concluded that a quantitative impairment analysis was not required as of March 31, 2020. Developments have been occurring rapidly with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on human health and businesses. However, as of March 31, 2020, we determined that despite temporarily placing certain operations on care and maintenance, no impairment indicators were present as there has not been deterioration in gold prices and COVID-19 related impacts and restrictions are viewed as temporary and are not expected to have a material impact on the fair value of the Company's reporting units.

New and changing government actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic have been occurring on a daily basis. We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts and potential impacts on our business. However, because of the rapidly changing developments with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we are unable to predict the extent and duration of any potential adverse financial impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Future developments could impact our assessment and result in material impairments to our long-lived assets or goodwill.

Refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Accounting Developments and Critical Accounting Policies included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020 for additional information on our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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, silver, lead and zinc also affect our profitability and cash flow. These metals are traded on established international exchanges and prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Table of Contents

Decreases in the market price of metals 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, 2020 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,583 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.56 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term silver price of $16.90 and $18.00 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term lead price of $0.84 and $1.10 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term zinc price of $0.97 and $1.30 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.66 and $0.77, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.75 and $0.80, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Mexican Peso exchange rate of $0.05 and $0.05, respectively and a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Argentinian Peso exchange rate of $0.02 and $0.02, 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.

Commodity Price Exposure

Our provisional metal sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the respective metal concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont had gold sales of 95,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,611 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 $2 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association P.M. closing settlement price at March 31, 2020 for gold was $1,609 per ounce.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont had copper sales of 20 million pounds priced at an average of $2.18 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, 2020 for copper was $2.16 per pound.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont had silver sales of 3 million ounces priced at an average of $13.95 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.50 change in the price for provisionally priced silver sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association closing settlement price at March 31, 2020 for silver was $13.93 per ounce.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont had lead sales of 22 million pounds priced at an average of $0.79 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.05 change in the price for provisionally priced lead sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at March 31, 2020 for lead was $0.78 per pound.

At March 31, 2020, Newmont had zinc sales of 81 million pounds priced at an average of $0.86 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.05 change in the price for provisionally priced zinc sales would have an approximate $3 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at March 31, 2020 for zinc was $0.85 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.

Despite putting four of its operations temporarily into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter, the Company’s site, regional and corporate office controls continue to operate as designed.

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 24 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Except as set forth below, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. You should carefully consider these factors in addition to the other information set forth in this report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks and uncertainties described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations and business have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and may be materially and adversely impacted in the future

The Company faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions. In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged and has since spread worldwide, posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. During the first quarter of 2020 and subsequent to March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation, including our own, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. A prolonged economic downturn and adverse impact to global economies or a sustained slowdown in growth or demand could have an adverse effect on the commodity prices and/or demand for metals produced at Newmont’s operations.

While the medical community is seeking to develop vaccines and other treatment options and governmental agencies, private agencies and the Company seek to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the efficacy and timing of such measures remains uncertain. Efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 have already impacted the operation of Newmont’s mines and the development of projects and the temporary cancellation of certain exploration activities. For companies, such as Newmont, that operate in multiple jurisdictions, disadvantage and risk of loss due to the limitations of certain local health systems and infrastructure to contain diseases and potential endemic health issues may occur. A number of governments have declared states of emergency and have implemented restrictive measures such as travel bans, quarantine and self-isolation. In the jurisdictions in which isolation or restrictions on non-essential business have been put in place (such as a stay-in, shelter-in place or similar orders) as a COVID-19 mitigation initiative, the distinction between what businesses are essential and non-essential (and therefore exempt and able to maintain its business operations as adjusted for COVID-19 risks) and the duration of the order remain outside of the Company’s control and are subject to the regulations issued by the respective governments. Mining may not be considered an essential business in new or changing initiatives.

The Company carefully considers government restrictions and the needs of its employees and host communities. In response, the Company has placed certain operations temporarily into care and maintenance and took steps towards a safe and orderly ramp down of other operations. For example, in order to protect nearby communities and align with government travel restrictions or health considerations in Argentina, Canada, Peru and Mexico, five of Newmont’s operations were temporarily put into care and maintenance during March and April 2020. Operations temporarily shut down and put into care and maintenance include Musselwhite, Éléonore, Cerro Negro, Yanacocha, and Peñasquito. Restart requirements, procedure and timing will vary based on mine site. In event that the respective governing body has granted permission to begin operation, permitted activities may be limited in nature based on the specific precautionary measures required by the government. Additionally, even if the government authorities have lifted certain restrictions on operations or designated mining an essential activity in the local jurisdiction, the Company will consult medical experts and consider input from local stakeholders, such as employees, host communities, Indigenous peoples, and labor unions as deemed appropriate by management in order to seek alignment on a planned process to resume operations. Therefore, the timing of resumption of full operations at such sites will remain uncertain and subject to change. Additionally, if there is an increase in incidents of COVID-19 in those countries or regions, there may be further restrictions put in place by the governments or the Company resulting in an adverse impact to operations and productivity at those sites.

At any point management or the Board may determine that operations pose an increased risk to Newmont's workforce or host communities, and may further reduce operational activities and limit activities to essential care and maintenance procedures including the management of critical environmental systems. Such reductions in our operational activities could have a material adverse impact on our business, or financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Newmont has also taken additional steps to prevent transmission of the virus including, without limitation: cancellation of non-essential travel and other travel restrictions; closure of our offices and implementation of remote work arrangements; reduction of the number of people working on our operating sites to the essential numbers required to operate and maintain the mines, processing plants and environmental control management systems; adopting temperature and questionnaire screening at entry points to sites and mandatory self-quarantine for anyone who has travelled internationally or has any flu-like symptoms; implementing physical distancing protocols in planes, buses, light vehicles, offices and dining facilities; increased frequency of deep cleaning and sanitization of surfaces; and providing hygiene and health support to nearby communities where our employees and contractors live and work. While implementation of these additional controls and efforts are necessary to protect the health and safety of our workforce, their families and neighboring communities, such efforts impact short-term productivity and costs and it remains unclear as to how long these restrictions and efforts will need to remain in place. Additionally,

Table of Contents

while day-to-day operations at certain of the Company’s sites have been disrupted, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur labor costs, costs related to infrastructure, environmental management, security and other COVID-19 specific costs. For example, Newmont has committed to maintain employees' pay through until at least the end of June to support them and their families and help remove uncertainty. Additionally, Newmont established a $20 million Global Community Support Fund to help host communities, governments and employees combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the cost of these efforts, the Company's employees and contractors and host communities may be impacted by COVID-19. In addition, the continued spread of COVID-19 may impact employee health, workforce productivity, access to skilled employees and experts and increase medical costs and insurance premiums.

New and changing government actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic have been occurring on a regular basis.

Management and the Board have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts and potential impacts on our business. However, because of the rapidly changing developments with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, the Company is unable to predict the extent and duration of the adverse financial impact of COVID-19 on its business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2020, the Company determined that despite temporarily placing certain operations on care and maintenance, impairment indicators were not present as of yet due to the temporary nature of the government restrictions and COVID-19 impacts. However, future developments could impact our assessment and result in material impairments to our long-lived assets or goodwill.

Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this pandemic could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The impact of this pandemic could include additional sites being placed into care and maintenance. If the majority of our sites are placed into care and maintenance, this could significantly reduce our cash flow and impact our ability to meet certain covenants related to our revolving credit facility and borrowing capacity. The Company’s management and board of directors will also continue to monitor Newmont’s future quarterly dividends and timing of future share buybacks as it monitors the ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other impacts of changing government restriction could include additional travel restraints, more stringent product shipment restraints, delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures, other supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life, and reputational damage in connection with challenges or reactions to action or perceived inaction by the Company related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial position.

The full extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions required to contain or treat its impact, among others. Investors are cautioned that operating and financial performance may vary from the expectations of management and our previously issued financial outlook as a result of the evolving COVID-19 environment.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. 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

Table of Contents

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” crisis management 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 health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount. This is why Newmont engaged its Rapid Response process early in connection with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and proactively took conservative steps to prevent further transmission of the Coronavirus. These includes but is not limited to:

•Cancelling all non-essential travel in early March;

•Closing our offices and implementing remote and flexible work arrangements;

•Reducing the number of people working on our operating sites to the essential numbers required to operate and maintain the mines, processing plants and environmental control management systems;

•Enhancing temperature and questionnaire screening prior to arrival or entry to our sites;

•Implementing strict physical distancing protocols in planes, buses, light vehicles, offices and dining facilities;

•Increased frequency of deep cleaning and sanitization of surfaces;

•Providing hygiene and health support to nearby communities where our employees and contractors live and work; and

•Proactively ramping down certain operations to reduce the risk of transmission to nearby communities with limited health care capacity.

As of the date of filing, Newmont has no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at any of its sites thanks to the discipline of our employees in adhering to these and other protocols. We are proud of the way our employees have responded to these challenging times. In addition to strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, they have demonstrated their commitment further by joining the fight against this pandemic in the communities where they live and work. As a global business with operations in eight countries, we are committed to doing our part to combat this disease and protect people and their livelihoods. For a discussion of COVID-19 related risks to the business, see Item 1A. under the heading “Risk Factors.”

The operation of our U.S. based mine 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 mine 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. As of the date of filing, Newmont has received no MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations by MSHA in connection with COVID-19 related regulations or requirements.

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. It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by Nevada Gold Mines LLC, a joint venture between the Company (38.5%) and Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) (61.5%), are not included in the Company’s Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.
