Third Quarter 2025 Production and Financial Summary

Attributable gold production 1 decreased 4 percent to 1,421 thousand ounces from the prior quarter, driven by lower gold grades and planned shutdowns at Peñasquito and Lihir, as well as the end of mining operations at the Subika open pit at Ahafo South in July. These decreases were partially offset by increased production at Brucejack, Cerro Negro, and Yanacocha.

Average realized gold price was $3,539 per ounce, an increase of $219 per ounce over the prior quarter. Average realized gold price includes $3,484 per ounce of gross price received, a favorable impact of $62 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and reductions of $7 per ounce for treatment and refining charges.

Gold Costs Applicable to Sales (CAS) 2 totaled $1.6 billion for the quarter. Gold Co-Product CAS per ounce 3 of $1,185 was slightly lower than the prior quarter as Newmont's continued focus on cost discipline and productivity offset lower sales volumes and higher royalties, production taxes and costs from profit-sharing agreements associated with a stronger gold price environment. Gold By-Product CAS per ounce 3 was $831 for the quarter.

Gold Co-Product All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) per ounce 3 of $1,566 was slightly lower than the prior quarter. Building from CAS per ounce, the decrease was primarily due to lower G&A and other expenses, partially offset by higher sustaining capital spend. Gold By-Product AISC per ounce 3 was $1,303 for the quarter.

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders was $1.8 billion or $1.67 per diluted share, a decrease of $229 million from the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by a gain on the sale of assets held for sale of $99 million compared to a gain of $699 million in the prior quarter; partially offset by higher revenues due to a higher realized gold price, slightly lower CAS, a smaller net gain on the fair value of investments and options of $38 million compared to a net gain of $151 million in the prior quarter, and a decrease of $305 million in lower income and mining taxes.

Adjusted net income 4 for the quarter was $1.9 billion or $1.71 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 billion or $1.43 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Primary adjustments to third quarter net income include a net gain on the sale of assets held for sale of $99 million primarily related to a partial reversal of the prior period write-down on the Coffee development project, restructuring and severance costs of $85 million, a loss on debt extinguishment of $72 million, reclamation and remediation charges of $41 million primarily related to legacy non-operating mines, impairment charges of $39 million primarily related to assets no longer in use, and a net gain on the fair value of investments and options of $38 million.

Adjusted EBITDA 4 increased 10 percent to $3.3 billion, while EBITDA decreased 16 percent to $3.2 billion compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily driven by lower net income. Adjusted EBITDA excludes net adjustments totaling $107 million, primarily consisting of a partial reversal of the prior period write-down on assets held of sale, restructuring and severance costs, a loss on debt extinguishment, reclamation and remediation charges, impairment charges, and a net gain in the value of investments and options.

Consolidated cash from operations before working capital 5 increased 16 percent from the prior quarter to $2.6 billion primarily due to higher revenue from a higher realized gold price and slightly lower CAS.

Consolidated net cash from operating activities decreased 4 percent from the prior quarter to $2.3 billion primarily due to a net unfavorable working capital movement of $286 million. This working capital movement was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $369 million from the timing of cash collections, the continued cash spend for previously accrued reclamation activities of $247 million, primarily related to the ongoing construction of the Yanacocha water treatment plants, and a build in inventory and stockpiles of $106 million. These unfavorable working capital adjustments were partially offset by an accrual of other liabilities of $217 million, primarily related to severance and employee-related liabilities, and an accrual for future tax payments of $173 million.

Income and mining cash tax paid decreased 9 percent from the prior quarter to $588 million due to lower net income attributable to Newmont shareholders, as well as higher cash tax paid in the prior quarter from the closing of non-core asset divestments, primarily related to Akyem.

Free Cash Flow 7 decreased 8 percent from the prior quarter to $1.6 billion primarily due to a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities as a result of an unfavorable working capital impact in the current quarter compared to a favorable working capital benefit in the prior quarter, as well as higher capital investment.

Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in the third quarter, ending with $5.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents, after the reduction of debt by $2.0 billion, with $9.6 billion of total liquidity; ended the quarter in a near-zero net debt position of $12 million. 8

Non-Managed Joint Venture and Equity Method Investments 9

Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production increased 5 percent to 251 thousand ounces, with a 14 percent decrease in CAS per ounce to $1,241 per ounce 3 . AISC per ounce decreased 15 percent from the prior quarter to $1,502 per ounce 3 .

Pueblo Viejo (PV) attributable gold production increased 14 percent to 72 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter.

No capital contributions were made during the quarter related to the expansion project at Pueblo Viejo.

Fruta del Norte attributable gold production is reported on a quarter lag. Production reported in the third quarter of 2025 increased 16 percent to 44 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter.

Newmont's Fourth Quarter and 2025 Guidance

Newmont has made significant progress on the cost savings initiatives announced in February 2025, enabling the Company to improve its 2025 guidance for several cost metrics, while maintaining its outlook for production and unit costs in a rising gold price environment. In addition, the Company has improved its capital guidance, reflecting a shift in the timing of spend to next year. Newmont's fourth quarter and full year 2025 guidance, presented on a full portfolio basis, is provided below. Please see the cautionary statement and footnotes for additional information.

2025 GUIDANCE COMMENTARY

Strong execution across Newmont's managed operations has positioned the Company to achieve its full-year attributable production guidance from the Core Portfolio. Fourth quarter attributable production is expected to be relatively in line with the third quarter, primarily driven by new ounces from Ahafo North and production growth from the non-operated Nevada Gold Mines joint venture. These increases are expected to be offset by lower leach production at Yanacocha as mining concludes in the fourth quarter and lower grades at Ahafo South as mining in the Subika open pit has concluded as planned.

Newmont is beginning to capture the benefits from its cost savings initiatives, leading to an improvement of its 2025 guidance for General & Administrative spend by $85 million and Exploration & Advanced Projects spend by $75 million, driven by lower labor and contractor costs across the organization. In addition, 2025 guidance for Reclamation and Remediation Accretion has improved by $125 million and Interest Expense has improved by $45 million following the reduction of nearly $3.4 billion of debt during the year.

Newmont's 2025 CAS per ounce and AISC per ounce guidance remains unchanged, as improvements from favorable macroeconomic conditions and the Company's cost savings initiatives are largely offset by higher royalties, production taxes, and costs from profit-sharing agreements associated with a stronger gold price environment.

Newmont has improved its 2025 capital guidance, reflecting lower sustaining and development capital spend. Sustaining capital has improved by $150 million primarily due to the timing of spend related to the investment in tailings work at Cadia and ensuring capital is deployed in the most efficient manner. Similarly, development capital has improved by $50 million primarily due to the timing of study and underground development activities supporting the potential expansion project at Red Chris. As a result, 2025 full-year capital guidance has improved by $200 million in total.
