Attributable gold production¹ for the year increased 1 percent to 5,971 thousand ounces compared to the prior year primarily due to higher mill recovery, a draw-down of in-circuit inventory and higher throughput in the current year, as several mines were placed under care and maintenance or experienced reduced operations in the prior year in response to the Covid pandemic.

Attributable gold production for the fourth quarter remained flat at 1,618 thousand ounces compared to the prior year quarter.

Gold CAS increased 5 percent to $4.6 billion from the prior year. Gold CAS per ounce² increased 4 percent to $785 per ounce primarily due to higher direct operating costs and contractor costs as a result of ongoing Covid impacts and higher third party royalties, partially offset by higher by-product credits at Yanacocha and Nevada Gold Mines.

Gold CAS increased 8 percent to $1.3 billion from the prior year quarter. Gold CAS per ounce increased 9 percent to $802 per ounce primarily due to higher direct operating costs, a draw-down of in-circuit inventory and lower by-product credits at Yanacocha, partially offset by lower third party royalties.

Gold AISC³ increased 2 percent to $1,062 per ounce compared to the prior year primarily due to higher CAS per ounce and higher sustaining capital spend, as several mines were placed under care and maintenance or experienced reduced operations in the prior year in response to the Covid pandemic.

Gold AISC remained flat at $1,056 per ounce compared to the prior year quarter as higher CAS per ounce was largely offset by lower sustaining capital spend.

Attributable gold equivalent ounce (GEO) production from other metals for the year increased 23 percent to 1,252 thousand ounces from the prior year primarily due to higher throughput and higher mill recovery in the current year, as Peñasquito was placed under temporary care and maintenance in the prior year in response to the Covid pandemic.

Attributable GEO production from other metals for the quarter increased 17 percent to 317 thousand ounces from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher silver and zinc grades mined at Peñasquito and higher copper grade mined at Boddington.

CAS from other metals totaled $807 million for the year. CAS per GEO² for the year increased 12 percent to $640 per ounce from the prior year primarily due to higher direct operating costs as Peñasquito was placed under temporary care and maintenance in the prior year, partially offset by higher co-product sales volumes. AISC per GEO³ for the year increased 5 percent to $900 per ounce from the prior year primarily due to higher CAS from other metals, partially offset by lower treatment and refining costs.

CAS from other metals totaled $243 million for the quarter. CAS per GEO for the quarter increased 32 percent to $739 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher allocation of costs to co-product metals and a draw-down of inventory. AISC per GEO for the quarter increased 19 percent to $1,007 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher CAS from other metals, partially offset by lower sustaining capital spend.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the year was $1.1 billion or $1.39 per diluted share, a decrease of $1.6 billion from the prior year primarily due to higher reclamation and remediation expense resulting from adjustments mainly related to non-operating Yanacocha sites of $1.6 billion, the loss recognized on the pending sale of the Conga mill assets, lower gain on asset and investment sales due to the sale of Kalgoorlie in the prior year and higher income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by higher average realized metal prices and higher sales volumes, as well as lower care and maintenance expense from certain sites being placed into care and maintenance or experiencing reduced operations in response to the Covid pandemic in the prior year.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the quarter was $(61) million or $(0.08) per diluted share, a decrease of $867 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher reclamation and remediation expense resulting from adjustments mainly related to non-operating Yanacocha sites of $1.6 billion, partially offset by the gain on the sale of the Kalgoorlie Power business and the gain from the NGM Lone Tree and South Arturo exchange transaction in the fourth quarter.

Adjusted net income⁴ for the year was $2.4 billion or $2.96 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 billion or $2.66 per diluted share in the prior year.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $624 million or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $856 million or $1.06 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Primary adjustments to fourth quarter net income include reclamation and remediation adjustments mainly related to non-operating Yanacocha sites, gains on asset and investment sales, changes in the fair value of investments, and valuation allowance and other tax adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA⁵ for the year increased 8 percent to $6.0 billion, compared to $5.5 billion for the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased 10 percent to $1.6 billion for the quarter, compared to $1.8 billion for the prior year quarter.

Revenue for the year increased 6 percent to $12.2 billion compared to the prior year primarily due to higher average realized gold prices and higher sales volumes. Revenue for the quarter of $3.4 billion increased slightly compared to the prior year quarter.

Average realized price⁶ for gold increased $13 per ounce to $1,788 per ounce for the full year and decreased $54 per ounce to $1,798 per ounce for the quarter, compared to the prior year. For the full year, average realized gold price includes $1,794 per ounce of gross price received, the favorable impact of $2 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and $8 per ounce reductions for treatment and refining charges. For the quarter, average realized gold price includes $1,794 per ounce of gross price received, the favorable impact of $11 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and $7 per ounce reductions for treatment and refining charges.

Capital expenditures⁷ increased 27 percent to $1.7 billion for the full year and increased 11 percent to $441 million for the quarter, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher sustaining capital spend at sites that were placed into care and maintenance or experiencing reduced operations in response to the Covid pandemic during 2020 and higher development capital spend. Development capital expenditures in 2021 primarily include advancing Tanami Expansion 2, Yanacocha Sulfides, Ahafo North, the Subika Mining Method Change, Cerro Negro expansion projects, the Power Generation Civil Upgrade, Pamour, Quecher Main, Goldrush Complex and Turquoise Ridge 3rd shaft.

Consolidated operating cash flow from continuing operations decreased 13 percent to $4.3 billion for the full year and decreased 23 percent to $1.3 billion for the quarter, compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher tax payments, partially offset by higher average realized metal prices. Free Cash Flow⁸ decreased to $2.6 billion for the full year and $0.9 billion for the quarter, compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower operating cash flow and higher capital expenditures.

Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in 2021 ending the year with $5.0 billion of consolidated cash and approximately $8.0 billion of liquidity; reported net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 0.2x⁹.

Portfolio improvements achieved during the year: Acquired the remaining 85.1% ownership of GT Gold Corporation; announced the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% ownership of Yanacocha; approved full funding of the Ahafo North project in July 2021; implemented Autonomous Haulage System at Boddington and a mining method change at Subika Underground in Ghana; progressed the Tanami Expansion 2, Yanacocha Sulfides, Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 and Pamour projects.

Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production for the year was 1,272 thousand ounces with CAS of $755 per ounce and AISC of $918 per ounce. NGM attributable gold production for the quarter was 377 thousand ounces with CAS of $753 per ounce and AISC of $887 per ounce. NGM EBITDA¹⁰ was $1.4 billion for the full year and $483 million for the quarter.

Pueblo Viejo (PV) attributable gold production was 325 thousand ounces for the year and 71 thousand ounces for the quarter. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA¹¹ was $420 million for the year and $84 million for the fourth quarter with cash distributions received from the Company's equity method investment of $180 million for the year and $50 million for the fourth quarter.

COVID UPDATE

Newmont continues to maintain wide-ranging protective measures for its workforce and neighboring communities, including screening, physical distancing, deep cleaning and avoiding exposure for at-risk individuals. The Company incurred incremental Covid specific costs of $21 million during the quarter and $87 million during 2021 for activities such as additional health and safety procedures, increased transportation and distributions from the community support fund. During the second quarter of 2020, the Newmont Global Community Support Fund of $20 million was established to help host communities, governments and employees combat the Covid pandemic, of which $14 million has been distributed since establishment. Amounts distributed from this fund were $3 million during 2021, which have been adjusted from certain non-GAAP metrics. The majority of the additional incremental Covid specific costs have not been adjusted from our non-GAAP metrics.

PROJECTS UPDATE¹²

Newmont’s project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Newmont's 2022 and longer-term outlook includes current development capital costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1. Additional projects not listed below represent incremental improvements to the Company's outlook.

Tanami Expansion 2 (Australia) secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low-cost producer with potential to extend mine life beyond 2040 through the addition of a 1,460 meter hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to process 3.3 million tonnes per year 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 and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $850 and $950 million with a commercial production date in 2024.

Ahafo North (Africa) expands our existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from the Company’s Ahafo South operations. The project is expected to add between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces per year with all-in sustaining costs between $600 to $700 per ounce for the first five full years of production (2024-2028). Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $750 and $850 million with a construction completion date in late 2023 and commercial production in 2024. Ahafo North is the best unmined gold deposit in West Africa with approximately 3.5 million ounces of Reserves and more than 1 million ounces of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources and significant upside potential to extend beyond Ahafo North’s current 13-year mine life.

Yanacocha Sulfides (South America)¹³ will develop the first phase of sulfide deposits and an integrated processing circuit, including an autoclave to produce 45% gold, 45% copper and 10% silver. The project is expected to add average annual production of 525,000 gold equivalent ounces per year with all-in sustaining costs between $700 and $800 per ounce for the first five full years of production (2027-2031). Total capital costs for the project are estimated at $2.5 billion, with an investment decision expected in late 2022 and a three year development period. The first phase focuses on developing the Yanacocha Verde and Chaquicocha deposits to extend Yanacocha’s operations beyond 2040 with second and third phases having the potential to extend life for multiple decades.

Pamour (North America) extends the life of Porcupine and maintains production beginning in 2024. The project will optimize mill capacity, adding volume and supporting high grade ore from Borden and Hoyle Pond, while supporting further exploration in a highly prospective and proven mining district. An investment decision is expected in the second half of 2022 with estimated capital costs between $350 and $450 million.

Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 (South America) includes the simultaneous development of the Marianas and Eastern districts to extend the mine life of Cerro Negro beyond 2030. The project is expected to improve production to above 350,000 ounces beginning in 2024, while improving all-in sustaining costs to between $800 and $900 per ounce. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be approximately $300 million. This project provides a platform for further exploration and future growth through additional expansions.

OUTLOOK

Newmont’s outlook reflects increasing gold production and ongoing investment in its operating assets and most promising growth prospects. Outlook includes current development capital costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour at Porcupine and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1.

Newmont continues to develop our mine plan utilizing a $1,200 per ounce gold price assumption. However, due to sustained higher gold prices over the last two years, Newmont’s 2022 outlook assumes an $1,800 per ounce revenue gold price for CAS and AISC to reflect higher costs from inflation, royalties and production taxes. In 2022, an additional 5% of cost escalation is incorporated into our direct operating costs related to labor, energy, and material and supplies. 2022 and longer-term outlook assumes a $30 per ounce impact from production taxes and royalties attributable to higher gold prices. Outlook assumes operations continue without major Covid-related interruptions. Newmont continues to maintain wide-ranging protective measures for its workforce and neighboring communities, including screening, physical distancing, deep cleaning and avoiding exposure for at-risk individuals, which are expected to impact AISC per gold equivalent ounce by approximately $10 per ounce. If at any point the Company determines that continuing operations poses an increased risk to our workforce or host communities, it will reduce operational activities up to, and including, care and maintenance and management of critical environmental systems. Please see the cautionary statement for additional information.

For a more detailed discussion and outlook presented at a $1,200 per ounce gold price assumption, see the Company’s 2022 and Longer-Term Outlook released on December 2, 2021, available on www.newmont.com. The attributable site-level production for Yanacocha and attributable development capital guidance below accounts for the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% interest in Yanacocha, as announced on February 8, 2022. All other guidance metrics remain unchanged from the Company's 2022 and Longer-Term Outlook as announced on December 2, 2021.

^a		2022 outlook projections are considered forward-looking statements and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of December 2, 2021. Outlook is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2022 Outlook assumes $1,800/oz Au, $3.25/lb Cu, $23.00/oz Ag, $1.15/lb Zn, $0.95/lb Pb, $0.75 USD/AUD exchange rate, $0.80 USD/CAD exchange rate and $60/barrel WTI. Production, CAS, AISC and capital estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved, except for Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 which are included in Outlook. The potential impact on inventory valuation as a result of lower prices, input costs, and project decisions are not included as part of this Outlook. Assumptions used for purposes of Outlook may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ from those anticipated, including variation beyond a +/-5% range. Outlook cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon Outlook and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Amounts may not recalculate to totals due to rounding. The attributable production guidance accounts for the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% interest in Yanacocha, as announced on February 8, 2022. All other guidance metrics remain unchanged from the Company's outlook as announced on December 2, 2021. See cautionary at the end of this release.
^b		All-in sustaining costs (AISC) as used in the Company’s Outlook is a non-GAAP metric; see below for further information and reconciliation to consolidated 2022 CAS outlook.
^c		Consolidated production for Yanacocha and Merian is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; attributable production represents a 95% interest for Yanacocha and a 75% interest for Merian.
^d		Attributable production includes Newmont’s 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as an equity method investment.
^e		Represents the ownership interest in the Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) joint venture. NGM is owned 38.5% by Newmont and owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick. 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.
^f		Gold equivalent ounces (GEO) are calculated as pounds or ounces produced multiplied by the ratio of the other metal’s price to the gold price, using Gold ($1,200/oz.), Copper ($3.25/lb.), Silver ($23.00/oz.), Lead ($0.95/lb.), and Zinc ($1.15/lb.) pricing.

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 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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:
