“Newmont delivered $636 million in adjusted EBITDA and $154 million in free cash flow in the third quarter on the back of ongoing productivity improvements across the portfolio and higher grades in Africa and South America,” said Gary J.

And we increased investment in Quecher Main, Subika Underground and the Ahafo Mill expansion during the period while increasing our dividend for the third quarter by 87 percent.”

Third Quarter 2018 Summary Results

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $(161) million or $(0.31) per diluted share, a decrease of $374 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to the impairment of exploration and long-lived assets in North America and lower metal prices, partially offset by lower income tax expense.

Adjusted net income was $175 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $184 million or $0.34 per diluted share in the prior year quarter resulting from lower metal prices. Primary adjustments to net income include $0.74 per diluted share related to impairments and a write-down in North America, $(0.14) per diluted share related to net tax adjustments and valuation allowances, and $0.04 per diluted share related to the change in fair value of marketable equity securities and a gain on asset and investment sales.
