First Quarter 2018 Highlights
· |
Net income (loss): Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $170 million or $0.32 per diluted share, an increase of $100 million from the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher average realized gold prices. |
· |
Adjusted net income (loss): Delivered Adjusted net income (loss) of $185 million or $0.35 per diluted share, a 35% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 61). |
· |
Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $644 million in adjusted EBITDA, a 12% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 61). |
· |
Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $266 million, a 29% decrease from the prior-year quarter, and free cash flow of $35 million (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 61). |
· |
Portfolio improvements: Approved plans to begin the Yanacocha Sulfides feasibility study and added Chaquicocha Oxides as a new project in Peru; progressed Long Canyon Phase 2 in Nevada to pre-feasibility study; advanced Ahafo North in Ghana to definitive feasibility study; commenced development of the Tanami Power project in Australia. |
· |
Attributable gold production: Decreased 2% to 1.21 million ounces from lower leach activity at Yanacocha, lower grade and scheduled maintenance at Boddington, and lower grade and reduced recovery at CC&V associated with the stockpiling of concentrate for shipment to Nevada, partially offset by improved production from Merian, Tanami, Carlin and Ahafo. |
· |
Financial Strength: Ended the quarter with $3.1 billion cash on hand and a first quarter dividend declared of $0.14 per share, an increase of 180 percent over the 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. Funding for Subika Underground, Ahafo Mill Expansion, Twin Underground, Quecher Main and Tanami Power projects has been approved and these projects are in execution.
Subika Underground, Africa. This project leverages existing infrastructure and an optimized approach to develop Ahafo’s most promising underground resource. First production was achieved in June 2017 with commercial production expected in the second half of 2018. The project is expected to have an average annual gold production of between 150,000 and 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2019 with an initial mine life of approximately 11 years. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $106, of which $26 related to the first quarter of 2018.
Ahafo Mill Expansion, Africa. This project is designed to maximize resource value by improving production margins and accelerating stockpile processing. The project also supports profitable development of Ahafo’s highly prospective underground resources. First production is expected in the first half of 2019, with commercial production expected in the second half of 2019. The expansion is expected to have an average annual gold production of between 75,000 and 100,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2020. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $62, of which $20 related to the first quarter of 2018. Following the tragic construction accident at our Ahafo Mill Expansion that resulted in six fatalities, civil construction will remain suspended until Newmont and the authorities are satisfied that work can resume safely.
Twin Underground, North America. This project is a portal mine beneath Twin Creek’s Vista surface mine with similar mineralization. First production was achieved in August 2017, with commercial production expected in mid-2018. The expansion is expected to have an average annual gold production of between 30,000 and 40,000 ounces per year between 2018 and 2022. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $23, of which $10 related to the first quarter of 2018.
Quecher Main, South America. This project will add oxide production at Yanacocha, leverage existing infrastructure and enable potential future growth at Yanacocha. First production is expected in early 2019, with commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2019. Quecher Main extends the life of the Yanacocha operation to 2027 with average annual gold production of about 200,000 ounces per year (on a consolidated basis) between 2020 and 2025. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $21, of which $9 related to the first quarter of 2018.
Tanami Power, Australia. This project will lower power costs from 2019, mitigate fuel supply risk and reduce carbon emissions. The project includes a 450 kilometer natural gas pipeline to be constructed connecting the Tanami site to the Amadeus Gas Pipeline, and construction and operation of two on-site power stations. The gas supply, gas transmission and power purchase agreements are for a ten year term with options to extend.
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.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on February 22, 2018 on Form 10-K and revisions filed April 26, 2018 on Form 8-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency and “C$” refers to Canadian currency.
Adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 and No. 2016-18
Certain amounts have been retrospectively reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation and reflect the change in Newmont’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows required with the adoption of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 related to the classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows and ASU No. 2016-18 as of December 31, 2017 related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows as further described in Note 3.
See Note 2 for the financial statement line items that were affected by the adoption of these standards.
Correction of Immaterial Errors
In the first quarter of 2018, Newmont corrected a computation error that was immaterial to all affected prior periods related to its methodology for calculating and recording Reclamation and remediation liabilities under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations,” since the adoption of the standard as of January 1, 2003. The Company concluded that the error had the effect of understating its asset retirement obligations liability and the related asset retirement cost resulting in immaterial errors in accretion and depreciation expense.
In evaluating the impact of the error, the Company followed the guidance of ASC 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Assessing Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” The Company concluded that the error was not material to our results of operations or financial condition on a quantitative and qualitative basis and did not require previously filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be amended. Correction of the cumulative error would have a disproportionate impact on our results for the first quarter of 2018 and for the annual estimated income for 2018. As such, the Company has corrected the error by revising the prior period financial statements. The Company also elected to correct other individually insignificant errors not previously recorded that the Company concluded were immaterial to our previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements.
See Note 2 for the financial statement line items that were affected by the correction of the error.
Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation.

NOTE 2 REVISION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements have been revised for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 and No. 2016-18 and the correction of the errors as follows:

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold and copper. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that
10
commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads and Deferred income tax assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.
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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, on January 1, 2018. Changes to the accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
Newmont generates revenue by selling gold and copper produced from its mining operations. Refer to Note 4 for further information regarding the Company’s operating segments.
The majority of the Company’s Sales come from the sale of refined gold; however, the end product at the Company’s gold operations is generally doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting primarily of gold but also containing silver and other metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce bullion that meets the required market standard of 99.95% gold. Under the terms of the Company’s refining agreements, the doré bars are refined for a fee, and the Company’s share of the refined gold and the separately-recovered silver is credited to its bullion account. Gold from doré bars credited to its bullion account is typically sold to banks or refiners.
A portion of gold sold from Boddington and Kalgoorlie in Australia, Phoenix in Nevada and CC&V in Colorado is sold in the form of concentrate which includes copper and silver. The Company’s Sales also come from the sale of copper. Copper sales are generally in the form of concentrate, which is sold to smelters for further treatment and refining, and cathode. Copper sold from Boddington in Australia is sold in concentrate form and copper sold from Phoenix in Nevada is sold in either concentrate or cathode form.
Generally, if a metal expected to be mined represents more than 10 to 20% of the life of mine sales value of all the metal expected to be mined, co-product accounting should apply. Generally, if metal expected to be mined is less than the 10 to 20% of the life of mine sales value, by-product accounting should apply. Revenues from by-product sales, which are immaterial, are credited to Costs applicable to sales as a by-product credit. Copper is produced as a co-product at Phoenix and Boddington. Copper and silver is produced as a by-product at certain of the Company’s other operations.
Gold Sales from Doré Production
The Company recognizes revenue for gold from doré production when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring gold inventory to the customer, which generally occurs upon transfer of gold bullion credits as this is the point at which the customer obtains the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset.
The Company generally recognizes the sale of gold bullion credits at the prevailing market price when gold bullion credits are delivered to the customer. The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon market price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon delivery of gold bullion credits to the customer’s account.
11
Gold and Copper Sales from Concentrate Production
The Company recognizes revenue for gold and copper from concentrate production, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. This generally occurs as material passes over the vessel's rail at the port of loading based on the date from the bill of lading, as the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the material and the customer has the risk of loss. Newmont has elected to account for shipping and handling costs for concentrate contracts as fulfillment activities and not as promised goods or services; therefore these activities are not considered separate performance obligations.
The Company generally sells gold and copper concentrate based on the future monthly average market price for a future month, dependent on the relevant contract, following the month in which the delivery to the customer takes place. The amount of revenue recognized for concentrates is initially recorded on a provisional basis based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement and the Company’s estimated metal quantities based on assay data. The Company’s sales based on a provisional price 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 concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through Sales each period prior to final settlement. The Company also adjusts estimated metal quantities used in computing provisional sales using new information and assay data from the smelter as it is received (if any).
A provisional payment is generally due upon delivery of the concentrate to the customer. Final payment is due upon final settlement of price and quantity with the customer.
The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price and quantity fluctuations between the date the sale is recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs, or assay data results in a significant change in quantity between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the provisional payment received on the sale.
Copper Sales from Cathode Production
The Company recognizes revenue for copper from cathode production when it transfers control of copper cathode to the customer, which occurs when the material is picked up by the carrier. The Company generally sells copper cathode based on the weekly average market price for the week following production. The transaction price is determined based on this agreed upon price and the number of pounds delivered. Payment is due upon final settlement of price and quantity with the customer.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016 and September 2017 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12, No. 2016-20 and No. 2017-13, respectively. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition.
The company retrospectively adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. As there were no contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2017, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required to be recognized at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The adoption of this standard primarily impacts the timing of revenue recognition on certain concentrate contracts based on the Company’s determination of when control is transferred. Revenue related to concentrate shipments is now generally recognized upon completion of loading the material for shipment to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s significant performance obligation.
12
Prior to the adoption of this standard, revenue was recognized for these contracts when the price was determinable, the concentrate had been loaded on a vessel or received by the customer, the title had been transferred and collection of the sales price was reasonably assured.
Investments
In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. This ASU was further amended in February 2018 by ASU No. 2018-03. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at January 1, 2018. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified $115 of unrealized holding gains and losses and deferred income taxes related to investments in marketable equity securities from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Retained earnings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of Acquisitions, net previously reported as a cash outflow from investing activities, to operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows related to contingent consideration payments.
Intra-Entity Transfers
In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018, and determined it had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2017. Upon adoption, the Company included a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adoption of this guidance had no other impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
Employee Benefits
In March 2017, ASU No. 2017-07 was issued related to the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement cost. The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit costs to be classified similar to other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be classified separately from the service cost and outside income from operations. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the recognition of other components of net benefit costs within Other income, net rather than Costs applicable to sales or
13
General and administrative and is no longer included in costs that benefit the inventory or production process. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
Hedging
In August 2017, ASU No. 2017-12 was issued related to hedge accounting. The new guidance expands the ability to hedge nonfinancial risk components, eliminates the current requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, and requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item, when reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The guidance also eases certain hedge effectiveness documentation and assessment requirements. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018, and there was no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures as a result of adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases, which was further amended in September 2017 by ASU No. 2017-13 and in January 2018 by ASU 2018-01. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance as of January 1, 2019.
The Company has begun its assessment of the new guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, and expects to complete its analysis in 2018. To date, the Company has reviewed a sample of contracts that are representative of the Company’s various contracts. Management is still completing its assessment of the impacts; however, based on the sample reviewed, management anticipates certain service contracts will contain embedded leases under the revised guidance. The Company continues to assess other potential impacts of the new standard. Based on preliminary findings, the Company expects that the majority of its identified leases will be required to be reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, the Company expects there will be minimal impacts to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects to have an update to the impacts of the standard in upcoming quarters.
Other Comprehensive Income Reclassifications Related to Tax Reform
In February 2018, ASU 2018-02 was issued allowing companies the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects related to items in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that was enacted on December 22, 2017. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effects of the change in the U.S. federal income tax rate in the Act is recognized. The Company is still completing its assessment of the impacts and anticipated adoption date of this guidance.
NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has organized its operations into four geographic regions. The geographic regions include North America, South America, Australia and Africa and represent the Company’s operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information on the following tables. Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not
14
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.
Unless otherwise noted, the Company presents only the reportable segments of its continuing operations in the tables below. The financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows:

Newmont has a 75.0% economic interest in Suriname Gold Project C.V. (“Merian”), with the remaining interests held by Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”), a company wholly owned by the Republic of Suriname. Newmont consolidates Merian, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary in the variable interest entity.
In December 2017, Yanacocha repurchased 64 million shares (a 5% ownership) from International Finance Corporation, which resulted in Newmont’s ownership in Yanacocha increasing from 51.35% to 54.05%, with the remaining interests held by Buenaventura (which increased from 43.65% to 45.95%). Newmont consolidates Yanacocha in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due to a majority voting interest.

NOTE 12 NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly, except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock
24
awards and convertible debt instruments. The dilutive effects of Newmont’s dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per share are included in the calculation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 1.7 million shares of its common stock for $64. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company withheld 1.0 million shares for payments of employee withholding taxes related to the vesting of stock awards.
When treasury shares are retired, the Company's policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both Retained earnings and Additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to Additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro-rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of the retirement.

NOTE 15 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
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).
26
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.

Debt, exclusive of capital leases, is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $4,041 and $4,040 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 included in Note 16. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and cash equivalent) instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash and cash equivalent instruments and restricted cash are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
27
The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional gold and copper 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 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 Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities are calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
The Company’s 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 bank issued certificate of deposits that have maturities over 90 days and marketable equity securities. Both are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are based on quoted prices available in active markets.
The estimated value of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future copper prices using the Company’s long-term copper price, and (iii) estimated production and/or development dates for Batu Hijau Phase 7 and the Elang projects in Indonesia. The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices using the Company’s long-term gold price, (iii) various gold production scenarios from reserve and resource information and (iv) a weighted average discount rate. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

NOTE 16 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company has and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses hedge programs to mitigate the variability of its operating costs primarily related to diesel price fluctuations. Prior to adoption of ASU No. 2017-12, Newmont’s hedge portfolio consisted of Nevada diesel swaps and Australian dollar foreign currency forwards. Subsequent to the adoption of this ASU, the Company initiated new diesel hedge programs for all of its Nevada sites in North America, Merian in South America and Boddington, Tanami and KCGM in Australia. The Company’s final Australian dollar foreign currency forwards expired during the quarter.
The following diesel contracts were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges. The unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
29
The Company has the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2018:

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all hedging instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the potential effect of netting derivative assets against liabilities due to the master netting agreement was not significant.

Batu Hijau Contingent Consideration
Consideration received by the Company in conjunction with the sale of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara included the Contingent Payment and the Elang Development deferred payment deeds, which were determined to be financial instruments that met the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, under ASC 815. See Note 15 for additional information. Contingent consideration of $27 and $23 was included in Other non-current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Provisional Gold and Copper Sales
The Company’s provisional gold and copper concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
At March 31, 2018, Newmont had gold and copper sales of 97,000 ounces and 20 million pounds priced at an average of $1,328 per ounce and $3.04 per pound, respectively, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

NOTE 24 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented to satisfy disclosure requirements of Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X resulting from the inclusion of Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont, as a co-registrant with Newmont on debt securities issued under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 under which securities of Newmont (including debt securities guaranteed by Newmont USA) may be issued (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). In accordance with Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X, Newmont USA, as the subsidiary guarantor, is 100% owned by Newmont, the guarantees are full and unconditional, and no other subsidiary of Newmont guaranteed any security issued under the Shelf Registration Statement. There are no restrictions on the ability of Newmont or Newmont USA to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
Certain amounts have been retrospectively reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and at December 31, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation and reflect a change in Newmont’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows required with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 and ASU No. 2016-18, the correction of an error related to Newmont’s reclamation and remediation liabilities and other adjustments as described in Note 2.

NOTE 25 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 4. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the North America reportable segment.
44
Environmental Matters
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various 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 so as to protect the public health and 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 costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $2,163 and $2,144, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portion of $60 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, is included in Other current liabilities.
In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $300 and $304 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the remediation liability for these matters could be as much as 42% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2018. 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.
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. Newmont is continuing to negotiate the terms of a future agreement with the USFS for Newmont to implement the approved Removal Action. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and Newmont cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% Newmont Owned
Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).
45
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 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 NPDES permit). Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and new WTP design will re-commence in 2018.
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 exception of the embankment erosion protection anticipated to be completed in 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 $185 at March 31, 2018.
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 54.05% 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. In 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. OEFA has resolved some alleged violations with minimal or no findings. In 2015 and 2016, the water authority of Cajamarca issued notices of alleged regulatory violations, and resolved some allegations in 2017 with no findings. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 27,140 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 59 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001287 based on current exchange rates ($0 to $35). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.
Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment and; (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.
46
Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November, 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha has appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. The potential liability in this matter is in the form of fines and interest in an amount up to $75. While the Company has assessed that the likelihood of a ruling against Yanacocha in the Supreme Court as remote, it is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation.
NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.
In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).
Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.
NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.
On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.
On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1.2 billion. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

The increase to Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, was impacted by higher average realized metal prices during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by higher Costs applicable to sales and slightly lower production at various mine sites.

The increase in Costs applicable to sales for gold during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, is primarily due to higher stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, higher milling costs primarily at Boddington, higher underground mining costs at Tanami and Ahafo due to higher tons mined, higher oil prices and higher royalties due to higher metal prices.
The increase in Costs applicable to sales for copper during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, is primarily due to higher mill maintenance costs at Boddington.

Depreciation and amortization for gold and copper during the three months ended March 31, 2018, remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2017, as sales volumes remained consistent.
Reclamation and remediation during the three months ended March 31, 2018, remained flat compared to the same period in 2017, as Reclamation and remediation liabilities remained consistent.
Exploration increased by $4 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased expenditures at various projects in Australia and Africa as we continue to focus on developing future reserves.
Advanced projects, research and development increased by $8 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to costs associated with full potential opportunities in North America, as well as on-going study costs on the Long Canyon Phase 2 project in North America and the Chaquicocha underground and Yanacocha Sulfides projects in South America.
General and administrative increased by $4 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to higher labor costs.
Other expense, net decreased by $6 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to write-downs of obsolete assets in South America and Australia and net adjustments to the contingent consideration and related liabilities associated with the acquisition of the final 33.33% interest in Boddington in June 2009 in 2017.
Other income, net increased by $30 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to decreases in Australia denominated liabilities due to a weaker Australian dollar.
Interest expense, net decreased by $14 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to reduced debt balances as a result of the repayment of the 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in July 2017 and higher capitalized interest related to various development projects in 2018.
52
Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $105 and $111 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the enactment of tax reform; (iv) the non-recognition of tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. See Note 9 for further discussion of income taxes.

The March 31, 2017 information has not been presented as such comparison would be meaningless as a result of tax restructuring implemented by the Company at December 31, 2017. Due to changes the Act made to certain international tax provisions, it was prudent for the Company to restructure the holding of its non-U.S. operations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This was accomplished by executing and filing various “check the box” elections made with respect to certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The elections resulted in the conversions of these subsidiaries from branches and/or foreign partnerships to regarded foreign corporations. |

The consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to our consolidated effective income tax rate. |
We continue to assess the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which was enacted on December 22, 2017. We anticipate completing the analysis of the impacts of the Act within the one year measurement period provided for under the Security and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. There are no new estimates or finalized income tax items associated with the Act included in the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Equity income (loss) of affiliates decreased by $7 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased losses recognized at TMAC Resources Inc.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations details are set forth below:

N.M. – Not meaningful.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Holt royalty obligation decreased primarily due to a decrease in expected production based on gold reserves and resources from Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., which were updated in the first quarter of 2018, as
53
well as an increase in the discount rate, resulting in net income from discontinued operations for the quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Holt royalty obligation increased primarily due to an increase in expected production based on gold reserves and resources from Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., which were updated in the first quarter of 2017, and resulted in a net loss from discontinued operations.
For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 10 and Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations decreased by $12 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased losses at Yanacocha from lower operating margin and increased spend on projects.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017
Consolidated gold production decreased 3% due to lower mill grades and recovery at CC&V, lower leach tons placed and ore grade milled at Yanacocha, and lower ore grade mined and milled at Boddington and Akyem, partially offset by higher ore grades mined and milled at Carlin and Phoenix, higher leach tons placed at Long Canyon, draw-down of in-circuit inventory at Merian and higher throughput and ore grade milled at Tanami and Ahafo.
Consolidated copper production decreased 10% primarily due to lower ore grade milled and lower leach placement at Phoenix.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce increased 8% primarily due to higher oil prices, higher mill maintenance costs at Boddington, an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign exchange rate and higher stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound increased 16% primarily due to lower copper grades milled at Phoenix, and higher mill maintenance costs, higher oil prices, an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate and higher co-product allocation of costs to copper based on a higher relative copper sales value at Boddington.
Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce was in line with the prior year. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated copper pound increased 9% due to a higher co-product allocation of costs to copper based on a higher relative copper sales value.
54
All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce increased 8% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold and higher advanced projects and exploration spend. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated copper pound increased 17% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per pound sold.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 21% due to lower ore grade mined and unfavorable strip ratio, partially offset by higher ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per ounce decreased 10% due to higher ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce increased 23% due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital spend.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017
Boddington, Australia. Gold production decreased 19% primarily due to lower ore grade milled as a result of lower ore grade mined and lower recovery partially offset by higher mill throughput. Copper production was in line with the prior period. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 20% primarily due to lower ounces sold, higher mill maintenance costs, higher oil prices and an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to gold based on a lower relative gold sales value. Costs applicable to sales per pound increased 28% primarily due to the higher cost drivers mentioned above and higher co-product allocation of costs to copper based on a higher relative copper sales value. Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 2% primarily due to lower ounces sold, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to gold based on a lower relative gold sales value. Depreciation and amortization per pound increased 24% primarily due to higher co-product allocation of costs to copper based on a higher relative copper sales value. All-in sustaining costs per ounce and per pound increased 20% and 30%, respectively, primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce and pound sold, higher sustaining capital spend and higher treatment and refining costs.
Tanami, Australia. Gold production increased 57% primarily due to higher throughput and ore grade milled. Throughput was higher primarily due to the Tanami Expansion project achieving commercial production in the third quarter of 2017, coupled with the mill being placed into care and maintenance for 21 days in early 2017 following record high rainfall that blocked transport routes, limiting access to fuel and other resources. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 8% primarily due to higher ounces sold and higher allocation of costs to deferred mine development, partially offset by higher oil prices, an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate, higher mill maintenance and site support costs and higher pastefill activity. Depreciation and amortization per ounce decreased 30% primarily due to higher ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce decreased 5% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per ounce sold and lower sustaining capital spend per ounce sold partially offset by higher exploration and advanced project spend.
Kalgoorlie, Australia. Gold production increased 4% primarily due to higher throughput, recovery and a draw-down as compared to a build up of in-circuit inventory in the prior period, partially offset by lower ore grade milled. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 11% primarily due to higher oil prices, an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate and higher site support costs partially offset by higher ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 40% primarily due to asset additions and higher amortization rates. All-in sustaining costs per ounce increased 17% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold, higher sustaining capital spend and higher exploration and advanced projects spend.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017
Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production increased 10% due to higher ore grade milled from mining at Subika Underground, higher throughput and recovery, in addition to a higher draw down of in-circuit inventory compared to the prior period. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 7% due to higher stockpile inventory adjustments and higher oil prices, partially offset by lower power costs and higher ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 6% due to higher stockpile inventory adjustments and asset additions, partially offset by higher ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce increased 4% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold partially offset by lower sustaining capital spend.

Akyem, Ghana. Gold production decreased 16% due to lower ore grade milled, throughput and recovery, partially offset by a draw-down of in-circuit inventory compared to a build-up in the prior period. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 29% primarily due to stockpile inventory adjustments, higher oil prices and lower ounces sold partially offset by lower power costs. Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 47% due to stockpile inventory adjustments and lower ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per ounce increased 38% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per ounce sold, higher sustaining capital spend and reclamation costs.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies. Such fluctuations do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold and copper are sold throughout the world in U.S. dollars. Despite selling gold in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 35% and 32% of Costs applicable to sales for our operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of which approximately 29% was denominated in the Australian dollar in the current year. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations did not have a significant impact on Costs applicable to sales on a per ounce basis, net of hedging losses, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017.
Our Merian mine is located in the country of Suriname, which is considered a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years. Although we have balances denominated in Surinamese dollars that relate to labor and payroll liabilities, substantially all of Merian’s activity is denominated in U.S dollars. Therefore, our exposure to fluctuations in the Surinamese dollar exchange rate is not significant to Newmont’s financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We have a disciplined cash management strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and provide long-term value to our shareholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends.
At March 31, 2018, the Company had $3,111 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $863 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, 2018, $321 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, 2018, $729 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($421 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.
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, 2018, no borrowings were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

|
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $266 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $111 from the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to timing of shipments creating a build of accounts receivable, timing of payments on accounts payable and an increase in stockpiles and ore on leach pads, partially offset by higher realized metal prices.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(236) in 2018, an increase in cash used of $78 from the three months ended 2017, primarily due to higher Additions to property, plant and mine development in 2018 driven by higher capital expenditures on development projects and the redemption of marketable debt securities in 2017.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(179) in 2018, an increase in cash used of $127 from the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the Repurchase of common stock for $64, a higher fourth quarter 2017 declared dividend paid in 2018 of $76 and higher Payments for withholding of employee taxes related to stock-based compensation of $39, partially offset by higher funding from noncontrolling interests.
Capital Expenditures
Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. We consider sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are considered non-sustaining or development capital.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we had Additions to property, plant and mine development, net as follows:

Additionally, in December 2017, the Company began the early phases of the Tanami Power project in Australia which includes the construction of a gas pipeline to the Tanami site, and construction and operation of two on-site power stations under agreements that qualify for build-to-suit lease accounting. As of March 31, 2018, the financing obligations under the build-to-suit arrangements were $44.
Refer to our global project pipeline discussion above for additional details. Refer to Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures All-In Sustaining Costs for further information.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2017. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, and revisions filed April 26, 2018 on Form 8-K, for the year ended December 31, 2017, 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, 2017. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, and revisions filed April 26, 2018 on Form 8-K, for the year ended December 31, 2017, for information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements.
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, payments 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. As of March 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to our reclamation and remediation obligations since December 31, 2017. See Note 1 and Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
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, 2017, filed February 22, 2018 on Form 10-K, and revisions filed April 26, 2018 on Form 8-K.
For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 6 and 25 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 10 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:

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:

Loss (gain) on asset and investment sales, included in Other income, net, primarily represents gains or losses on various asset sales. Amounts are presented net of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $(1) and $-, respectively. |
(4) |
Reclamation and remediation charges, included in Reclamation and remediation, represent revisions to remediation plans at the Company’s former historic mining operations or other non-operating mine sites. |
(5) |
Impairment of long-lived assets, net, included in Other expense, net, represents non-cash write-downs of long-lived assets. Amounts are presented net of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $- and $(1), respectively. |
(6) |
Acquisition cost adjustments, included in Other expense, net, represent net adjustments to the contingent consideration and related liabilities associated with the acquisition of the final 33.33% interest in Boddington in June 2009. |
(7) |
The tax effect of adjustments, included in Income and mining tax benefit (expense), represents the tax effect of adjustments in footnotes (2) through (6), as described above, and are calculated using the applicable regional tax rate. |
(8) |
Valuation allowance and other tax adjustments, included in Income and mining tax benefit (expense), is recorded for items such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, capital losses and disallowed foreign losses. The adjustment in 2018 is due to increases in tax credit carryovers subject to valuation allowance of $5, increases to net operating loss and other deferred tax assets subject to valuation allowance at Yanacocha of $11 and other tax adjustments of $1. Amounts are presented net of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $(5). The adjustment in 2017 is due to increases in tax credit carryovers subject to valuation allowance of $69, partially offset by other tax adjustments of $10. |

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.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

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

All-In Sustaining Costs
Newmont has worked to develop a metric that expands on GAAP measures, such as cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP measures, such as Costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from our continuing operations.
Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and in the investor’s 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 capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies.
64
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 copper at our Phoenix and Boddington mines. The copper CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines is based upon the relative sales value of gold and copper produced during the period.
Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties. Accretion related to the Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation does not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation associated with current production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance 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. As this relates to sustaining our production, and is 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 the amount attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix and Boddington mines. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfill our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.
Other expense, net. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.
Treatment and refining costs. Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sustaining capital. We determined 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 generally considered non-sustaining or development capital. We determined the classification of sustaining and development capital projects based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital costs 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
65
operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Decreases in the market price of gold and copper can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at March 31, 2018 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,329 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $3.16 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, and a U.S. to Australian dollar short-term and long-term exchange rate of $0.79 and $0.80, respectively.
The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Hedging
Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and may continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.
By using hedges, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or be subject to any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

Cash Flow Hedges
The diesel derivative and foreign currency contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net asset position of $5 at March 31, 2018 and $6 at December 31, 2017.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The fair value of A$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net liability position of $1 at December 31, 2017.
Commodity Price Exposure
Our provisional gold and copper sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
At March 31, 2018, Newmont had gold sales of 97,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,328 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, 2018 for gold was $1,324 per ounce.
At March 31, 2018, Newmont had copper sales of 20 million pounds priced at an average of $3.04 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, 2018 for copper was $3.03 per pound.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 25 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1, Business; Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018.

The total number of shares purchased (and the average price paid per share) reflects: (i) shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program described in (2) below; and (ii) Represents shares delivered to the Company from stock awards held by employees upon vesting for the purpose of covering the recipients’ tax withholding obligations, totaling 0 shares, 883,058 shares and 106,024 shares for the fiscal months of January, February and March 2018, respectively. |
(2) |
On February 20, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting in the current year, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased does not exceed $90 million, and no shares of common stock may be repurchased under the program after December 31, 2018. The Company repurchased 1,670,745 shares in the first quarter under the repurchase program, representing an aggregate value of $64, and such shares were then retired. To the extent, additional employee stock award vesting occurs later in the year in connection with retirements, terminations or previously scheduled vestings, the Company intends to use the repurchase program exclusively to offset dilution, subject to the limitations set forth above. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors. |

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
At Newmont, safety is a core value. No work-related fatalities occurred at any Newmont site or facility in 2017 or the first quarter of 2018. However, a tragic event occurred in April 2018, which resulted in the death of six contractors who were working on the construction of a structure at the Ahafo Mill Expansion project in Ghana. Investigations have commenced, and we are cooperating with authorities to determine the cause. We deeply grieve these losses along with families, friends, colleagues and the entire Newmont family. It is with great humility and resolve that we renew our commitment to making sure our people go home safe every day.
The Company plans to accelerate work in this area and further define and test the effectiveness of the critical controls necessary to prevent serious injuries. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.
The operation of our U.S. based mines is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. The fatalities in Ghana are not represented in Exhibit 95 due to the fact that our operations in Ghana are not regulated by MSHA.
None.
