This item should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this annual report.

The following MD&A generally discusses our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for 2024 and 2023 and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023. Discussions of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for 2022 and year-to-year comparisons between 2023 and 2022 are included in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024.

Overview

Newmont is the world’s leading gold company and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and the Fortune 500 list of companies. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World since 2007 and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. In June 2024, the Company was named as the only miner in TIME’s top 100 green firms ranking. Since 2015, Newmont has been ranked as the mining and metal sector’s top gold miner by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment. Newmont has been ranked the top miner in 3BL Media’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens list which ranks the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies on ESG transparency and performance since 2020. We are primarily engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold properties, some of which may contain copper, silver, lead, zinc or other metals. We have significant operations and/or assets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji, and Ghana. Our goal is to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining.

Refer to the Consolidated Financial Results, Results of Consolidated Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources and non-GAAP Financial Measures for information about the continued impacts from inflationary pressures, effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and supply chain disruptions, with particular consideration on the outlook for increased costs specific to labor, materials, consumables and fuel and energy on operations, as well as impacts on the timing and cost of capital expenditures and the risk of potential impairment to certain assets. Refer to discussion of Risk and Uncertainties within Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Non-core Asset Divestitures

Based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets following the Newcrest acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project in February 2024. The non-core assets to be divested include Akyem, CC&V, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite, Telfer, and a development project in Canada. In February 2024, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024, based on progress made through our active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate net book value of the non-core assets and the development project was $3,419. While the Company remains committed to a plan to sell these assets for a fair price, there is a possibility that the assets held for sale may exceed one year due to events or circumstances beyond the Company's control.

In the second half of 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of the Telfer reportable segment, which closed in the fourth quarter 2024. As a result of the sale, a loss of $160 was recognized in Loss on assets held for sale. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell the reportable segments of Akyem, Musselwhite, Éléonore, and CC&V and in January 2025 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Porcupine reportable segment. All of which are expected to close in the first half of 2025 and remained designated as held for sale at December 31, 2024.

The non-core assets and the development project classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. These assets are periodically valued until sale occurs with any resulting gain or loss recognized in Loss on assets held for sale. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2024 a loss of $859 was recognized within Loss on assets held for sale, of which $160 and $699 related to Telfer and the disposal groups remaining as held for sale as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The $699 loss on the disposal groups remaining as held for sale resulted in an aggregate net book value of $2,432 at December 31, 2024. A resulting tax impact of $255 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a total loss of $1,114 recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024, within Loss on assets held for sale.

Newcrest Acquisition

On November 6, 2023, the Company completed its business combination transaction with Newcrest Mining Limited, a public Australian mining company limited by shares ("Newcrest"), whereby Newmont, through Newmont Overseas Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company limited by shares (“Newmont Sub”), acquired all of the ordinary shares of Newcrest in a fully stock transaction for total non-cash consideration of $13,549. Newcrest became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Sub and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont (such acquisition, the “Newcrest transaction”). The combined company continues to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NEM. The combined company is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker NGT, on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM, and on the Papua New Guinea Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM. For further information, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated Financial Results

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

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders increased during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, partially due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction which contributed $1,047 to the increase.

Excluding the impact of the sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, the increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the year ended 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to (i) higher average realized prices for all metals; (ii) lower Impairment charges; (iii) lower Reclamation and remediation; and (iv) and higher net income at Peñasquito which had been impacted in 2023 as a result of the labor strike. This increase was partially offset by the Loss on assets held for sale and higher income and mining tax expense.

Refer below for further information on the change in Costs applicable to sales and Depreciation and amortization.

The details and analyses of our Sales for all periods presented are set forth below. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The change in consolidated sales is due to:

Sales increased during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, by $6,870, primarily due to a net increase in gold and copper sales of $5,153 and $752, respectively. Of the gold and copper sales increases, $2,807 and $786, were attributable to sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, respectively.

For discussion regarding drivers impacting sales volumes by site, refer to Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The details of our Costs applicable to sales are set forth below.

The increase in Costs applicable to sales during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which contributed $1,551 to the increase to Costs applicable to sales.

The increase in Costs applicable to sales during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was further impacted by (i) an increase of $319 at Peñasquito due to reduced operations in 2023 as a result of the labor strike, (ii) a drawdown of inventory and higher royalties at Ahafo, Akyem and Yanacocha, (iii) higher equipment maintenance costs at Tanami, and (iv) higher contracted services and labor costs at Ahafo; partially offset by a decrease in Costs applicable to sales at Boddington and Cerro Negro due to lower production.

For discussion regarding other significant drivers impacting Costs applicable to sales by site, refer to Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The Company uses both straight-line and UOP methods of depreciation. Depreciation and amortization will vary as a result of fluctuations in sales volumes and depreciation rates utilized at our mining sites. The details of our Depreciation and amortization are set forth below. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

96

Table of Contents

The increase in Depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which contributed $582 to the increase in Depreciation and amortization.

Excluding the impact of the sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, Depreciation and amortization decreased by $114 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the cessation of depreciation at sites classified as held for sale beginning in March 2024, partially offset by higher ounces mined at Peñasquito in the current year due to the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023 and higher ounces mined and asset additions at Ahafo.

For discussion regarding other significant drivers impacting Depreciation and amortization by site, refer to Results of Consolidated Operations below.

General and administrative expense was $442, $299, and $276 in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. General and administrative expense increased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, non-integration related consulting and other charges resulting from the Newcrest transaction, and higher travel costs during the year. General and administrative expense as a percentage of Sales was 2.4%, 2.5%, and 2.3% for 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was $375, $243, and $227 in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Capitalized interest totaled $114, $89, and $69 in each year, respectively. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest increased in 2024, compared to 2023, as a result of the interest expense recognized for the entire year on the debt acquired in the Newcrest transaction in November 2023.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $1,397, $526, and $455 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments including significant impairments of goodwill during 2023 and 2022. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

(1)Represents income (loss) from continuing operations by geographic location before income taxes and equity in affiliates. These amounts will not reconcile to the Segment Information for the reasons stated in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

(3)Includes $19 and $28 of withholding tax for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Recently Enacted Legislation

In 2024, Pillar II went into effect. The Pillar II agreement was signed by numerous countries with the intent to equalize corporate tax around the world by implementing a global minimum tax of 15%. As Newmont primarily does business in jurisdictions with a tax rate greater than 15%, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $68, $27, and $30 in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations increased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to the sale of the Batu and Elang contingent consideration assets, including the income tax benefit associated with a release of a valuation allowance on the capital loss carryforward in the U.S. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for explanations of other financial statement line items.

Results of Consolidated Operations

Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”) metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using the metal prices in the table below:

____________________________

(1)Effective January 1, 2025, GEO pricing was updated to align with reserve metal price assumptions as follows: Gold ($1,700/oz.), Copper ($3.50/lb.), Silver ($20.00/oz.), Lead ($0.90/lb.), and Zinc ($1.20/lb.). The update to GEO pricing will have an impact on the calculated gold equivalent ounces. This will result in an impact to costs allocated to the respective GEOs, particularly resulting in higher costs allocated to gold.

Peñasquito, Mexico. Gold production increased 109% and gold equivalent ounces – other metals production increased 108% primarily due to higher mill throughput in the current year due to the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023 which ended in the fourth quarter of 2023, higher ore grade milled and higher mill recovery, partially offset by a higher buildup of in-circuit inventory. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce decreased 36% primarily due to higher gold ounces sold in the current year as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023, partially offset by higher energy costs, higher contracted services costs, and higher materials costs. Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 35% primarily due to higher gold equivalent ounces sold in the current year as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023 and lower inventory write-downs in the current year, partially offset by higher energy costs, higher contracted services costs, higher materials costs, higher selling costs, and higher workers participation costs. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce decreased 31% and Depreciation and amortization per gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 39% primarily due to higher gold ounces sold and gold equivalent ounces - other metals sold respectively, as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce decreased 38% primarily due to lower cost applicable to sales per gold ounce.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue. Despite selling gold and silver in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.

Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies. In 2024, approximately 58% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as follows:

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales at sites held prior to the Newcrest transaction by $122 per gold ounce during the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to significant currency devaluation in Argentina that occurred starting in the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of the Argentine peso devaluation, Costs applicable to sales at sites held prior to the Newcrest transaction decreased by $5 per gold ounce during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, resulting from variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our other foreign mining operations.

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce at sites held prior to the Newcrest transaction by $12, primarily in Mexico, during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

At December 31, 2024, the Company held AUD- and CAD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD- and CAD-denominated operating expenditures to be incurred between October 2024 and December 2025 at certain sites, respectively. The unrealized changes in fair value for the fixed forward contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales beginning October 2024. Refer to Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our hedging instruments.

Hyperinflationary Economies

Hyperinflationary economies are defined by the International Monetary Fund as economies in which the projected three-year cumulative inflation exceeds 100%. For the year ended December 31, 2024, hyperinflationary economies in which the Company held operations included Ghana, Argentina, and Suriname.

Ghana. Our Ahafo and Akyem mines are located in Ghana and are USD functional currency entities. In 2021, the Bank of Ghana created a gold purchase program in the effort to stabilize the local currency and build up gold reserves through domestic gold purchases conducted in local currency at prevailing market rates. As the gold purchase program was voluntary, there was no significant impact to Ahafo. The majority of Ahafo’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Argentina. Our Cerro Negro mine is located in Argentina and is a USD functional currency entity. Beginning in 2020, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, including requiring the Company to convert USD proceeds from metal sales to local currency within 60 days from shipment date or 20 business days from receipt of cash, whichever happens first, as well as restricting payments to foreign-related entities denominated in foreign currency, such as dividends or distributions to the parent and related companies and royalties and other payments to foreign beneficiaries. These restrictions directly impact Cerro Negro's ability to repay intercompany debt to the Company. In the third quarter of 2024, certain restrictions were lifted or modified, allowing companies to repay intercompany debt in certain circumstances. We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the evolution of limitations of repatriating cash to the U.S. Currently, these currency controls are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Suriname. Our Merian mine is located in Suriname and is a USD functional currency entity. In 2021, the Central Bank took steps to stabilize the local currency, while the government introduced new legislation to narrow the gap between government revenues

and spending. The measures to increase government revenue mainly consist of tax increases; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place that supersedes such measures. The Central Bank of Suriname adopted a controlled floating rate system, which resulted in a concurrent devaluation of the Surinamese dollar. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Surinamese dollar is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We have a disciplined capital allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for our stockholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, we continue to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of these events, or changes in commodity prices, the prices for gold and other metals, and foreign exchange rates, we could continue to experience volatility; transportation industry disruptions could continue, including limitations on shipping produced metals; our supply chain could continue to experience disruption; cost inflation rates could further increase; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2024, we believe our available liquidity allows us to manage the short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts of these events on our business. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had $3,664 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $3,619 was included in Cash and cash equivalents and $45 was included in Assets held for sale related to certain non-core assets that were classified as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid and low-risk investments with original maturities of three months or less that are available to fund our operations as necessary. We may have investments in prime money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents; however, we continually monitor the need for reclassification under the SEC requirements for money market funds, and the potential that the shares of such funds could have a net asset value of less than their par value. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.

At December 31, 2024, $1,970 of Cash and cash equivalents was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in USD denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to USD. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentine peso are subject to regulatory restrictions. Refer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At December 31, 2024, $1,655 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents 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 any potential withholding taxes.

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 and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2024, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $4,000 and we had no borrowings outstanding. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and do not currently anticipate any events or circumstances that would impact our ability to access funds available on this facility. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our Debt.

Our financial position was as follows:

____________________________

(1)During the first quarter of 2024, certain non-core assets were determined to meet the criteria for assets held for sale. As a result, the related Cash and cash equivalents was reclassified to Assets held for sale. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(2)In connection with the Newcrest transaction, the Company acquired bilateral bank facilities that were repaid in full in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, the revolving credit facility was amended in February 2024 to increase the available borrowing capacity to $4,000. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

(3)Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate financial flexibility and strength of the Company's balance sheet. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $6,318 in 2024, an increase in cash provided of $3,564 from the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which contributed $1,562 of cash provided by operating activities. Excluding the impact of the sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, the increase in cash provided was primarily due to an increase in Sales resulting from the reduction of sales in 2023 as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike and higher average realized gold prices in 2024. These inflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to the timing of sales and shipments, and a payment of $291 made in the first quarter for stamp duty tax related to the Newcrest transaction. Refer to Consolidated Financial Results, above, for more information on our Sales.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities of continuing operations was $(2,855) in 2024, an increase in cash used of $1,853 from the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to lower net maturities of time deposits, higher capital expenditures in 2024, and cash acquired as a result of the Newcrest transaction in 2023, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the assets of Telfer in the fourth quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Telfer sale.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(2,953) in 2024, an increase in cash used of $1,350 from the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to partial redemptions of certain senior notes and repurchases of common stock, partially offset by proceeds received from the issuance of debt and lower dividend payments in 2024. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Debt transactions.

Capital Resources

In February 2025, the Board declared a dividend of $0.25 per share. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the full discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

In February 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to provide returns to stockholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased under the new program does not exceed $1 billion. The program will expire after 24 months (in February 2026). In October 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2 billion stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock. The program will expire after 24 months (in October 2026). The programs will be executed at the Company’s discretion, utilizing open market repurchases to occur from time to time throughout the authorization period. The repurchase programs may be discontinued at any time, and the programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount during the authorization period. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we executed and settled trades totaling $1,246 of common stock repurchases under the previously authorized program.

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. Our near-term development capital projects include Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, and Cadia Panel Caves.

These projects are being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows. Capital costs are estimated to be between $1,700 and $1,800 for Tanami Expansion 2 with an expected commercial production date in the second half of 2027. Capital costs are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 for Ahafo North with an expected commercial production date in late 2025. Capital costs are estimated to be between $1,000 and $1,200 for the PC2-3 Cadia Panel Caves project with development capital costs expected to continue until the second half of 2026.

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. The Company’s decision to

104

Table of Contents

reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project, which may include returning mining concessions to host governments, could result in a future impairment charge.

The Company continues to evaluate strategic priorities and deployment of capital to projects in the pipeline to ensure we execute on our capital priorities and provide long-term value to stockholders. Included in the Company's continuous evaluation is consideration of current market opportunities or pressures. In response, the Company has chosen to continue deferring the investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project. With the delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project, management will focus its efforts on optimizing its allocation of funds to current operations and other capital commitments, while also assessing execution options and project plans options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Additionally, the Company has decided to reprioritize capital at Cerro Negro, shifting focus from ongoing underground mine life extension initiatives to surface infrastructure projects at Cerro Negro and other opportunities within its portfolio.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 we had Additions to property, plant and mine development as follows:

____________________________

(1)Sites acquired through the Newcrest transaction. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

(2)Sites are classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our assets and liabilities held for sale.

(3)In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the sale of the assets of the Telfer reportable segment. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, development projects primarily included Red Chris Block Caves, Pamour at Porcupine, Cerro Negro expansions projects, Yanacocha Sulfides, Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, Phase 14A Wall construction at Lihir, Ahafo North, and the Goldrush Complex at NGM. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) on our Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, and Cadia Panel Caves projects since approval were $1,020, $616, and $248, respectively, of which $268, $241, and $212 related to the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, development projects included Pamour at Porcupine, Cerro Negro expansion projects, Yanacocha Sulfides, Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, Ahafo North, and the TS Solar Plant and Goldrush Complex at NGM.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, development projects included Pamour at Porcupine, Yanacocha Sulfides, Cerro Negro expansion projects, Tanami Expansion 2 and Power Generation Civil Upgrade at Tanami, Ahafo North and Subika Mining Method Change at Ahafo, and Goldrush Complex and Turquoise Ridge 3rd Shaft at NGM.

The Company will from time to time enter into hedging relationships to mitigate variability in development capital spend denominated in foreign currency. In June 2024, the Company entered into A$1,126 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts, designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures expected to be incurred between October 2024 and December 2025, related to the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, and Cadia Tailings projects. The capital expenditures hedged for the Tanami Expansion 2 project under these fixed forward contracts will be for spend not covered by the A$574 hedges entered into in October 2022. In October 2022, the Company entered into A$574 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts, designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures expected to be incurred in 2023 and 2024 during the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2 project. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, sustaining capital includes capital expenditures such as tailings facility construction, underground and surface mine development, capital component purchases, mining equipment, reserves drilling conversion, and infrastructure improvements. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2023, sustaining capital included haul truck purchases for the Autonomous Haulage System at Boddington. The Company currently expects to incur higher annual sustaining capital spend over the next few years at our ongoing operations, excluding those operations that are designated as held for sale, relative to historical amounts as we continue to advance the critical tailings work at Cadia and strengthen operating efficiency across our portfolio.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, drilling and related costs capitalized and included in mine development costs were as follows:

____________________________

(1)Sites are classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our assets and liabilities held for sale.

During 2024, 2023, and 2022, $74, $69, and $11, respectively, of pre-stripping costs were capitalized and included in mine development costs.

Refer to Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures, "All-In Sustaining Costs", below, for further information.

Debt

Debt and Corporate Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company from time to time will redeem its outstanding senior notes ahead of their scheduled maturity dates utilizing Cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, depending upon market conditions and strategic considerations, we may choose to refinance debt in the capital markets.

At December 31, 2024, our future debt maturities of $8,791 of which $928 has been classified as current based on intent to redeem in the next 12 months. We generally expect to be able to fund maturities of debt from Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

In connection with the Newcrest transaction, the Company acquired bilateral bank debt facilities held with 13 banks. The bilateral bank debt facilities had a total borrowing capacity of $2,000, of which $1,923 was outstanding at December 31, 2023, and

106

Table of Contents

$462 due February 7, 2024, $769 due March 1, 2024, and $692 due March 1, 2026. On February 7, 2024, the Company repaid $462 of the amount outstanding.

On February 15, 2024, the Company completed an amendment and restatement of its existing $3,000 revolving credit agreement dated as of April 4, 2019 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Existing Credit Agreement was entered into with a syndicate of financial institutions and provided for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contained a letter of credit sub-facility. Per the amendment, the expiration date of the credit facility was extended from March 30, 2026 to February 15, 2029 and the borrowing capacity was increased to $4,000. Interest is based on Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and margin.

On February 20, 2024, the Company completed a drawdown on the $4,000 revolving credit agreement and used the proceeds thereof to repay the remaining $1,461 owed on the remaining bilateral bank debt facilities.

In March 2024, we issued $2,000 of unsecured Senior Notes comprised of $1,000 due March 30, 2026 (“2026 Senior Notes”) and $1,000 due March 30, 2034 ("2034 Senior Notes"). Net proceeds from the 2026 and 2034 Senior Notes were $1,980, which were used to fully repay the drawdown on the revolving credit facility. Interest will be paid semi-annually at a rate of 5.30% and 5.35% per annum for the 2026 and the 2034 Senior Notes, respectively.

In 2024, the Company redeemed an aggregate amount of $483 of certain Senior Notes, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $38, partially offset by the acceleration of $6 loss from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the previously terminated interest rate cash flow hedges, recognized in Other income (loss), net for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In February 2025, the Company fully redeemed all of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes for a redemption price of $957. The redemption price equaled the principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes of $928 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $19 in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes, and a make-whole provision of $10.

Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Debt Covenants

Our senior notes and revolving credit facilities contain various covenants and default provisions including payment defaults, limitation on liens, leases, sales and leaseback agreements and merger restrictions. Furthermore, our senior notes and corporate revolving credit facility contain covenants that include, limiting the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, certain change of control provisions and a negative pledge on certain assets.

The corporate revolving credit facility contains a financial ratio covenant requiring us to maintain a net debt (total debt net of Cash and cash equivalents) to total capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 62.50% in addition to the covenants noted above.

At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults.

Letters of Credit and Other Guarantees

We have off-balance sheet arrangements of $2,086 of outstanding surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees (refer to Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2024, none of the $4,000 corporate revolving credit facility was used to secure the issuance of letters of credit. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Co-Issuer and Supplemental Guarantor Information

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Newmont and Newcrest Finance, as issuers, and Newmont USA, as guarantor, are collectively referred to herein as the "Obligor Group".

These guarantees are full and unconditional, and none of our other subsidiaries guarantee any security issued and outstanding. The cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group, and all of its subsidiaries, is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from subsidiaries by dividend, loan, or otherwise, except to the extent of any rights, noncontrolling interests, foreign currency or regulatory restrictions limiting repatriation of cash. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $181 at December 31, 2024. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newcrest Finance is a finance subsidiary with no material assets or operations other than those related to issued external debt. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of

107

Table of Contents

its 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these and our other operations, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Results of Consolidated Operations within Part II, Item 7, MD&A.

In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s balance sheets consisted primarily of the following intercompany assets, intercompany liabilities, and external debt. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial at December 31, 2024.

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

At December 31, 2024, Newmont USA had approximately $8,470 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.

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

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

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

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

•upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at December 31, 2024, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).

Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At December 31, 2024, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $8,972, none of which was secured (other than $496 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $8,867 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany, external debt, and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.

For further information on our debt, refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations at December 31, 2024 are summarized as follows:

____________________________

(1)Debt includes principal of $8,791 on Senior Notes and estimated interest payments of $4,480 on Senior Notes, assuming no early extinguishment.

(2)Finance lease and other financing obligations includes finance lease payments of $658 and additional payments of $3 for finance leases that have not yet commenced.

(3)Mining operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Pursuant to environmental regulations, we are required to close our operations and reclaim and remediate the lands that operations have disturbed. The estimated undiscounted cash outflows of these Reclamation and remediation liabilities are reflected here. For more information regarding reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4)Contractual obligations for Employee-related benefits include severance, workers’ participation, pension and other benefit plans. Pension plan and other benefit payments beyond 2034 cannot be reasonably estimated given variable market conditions and actuarial assumptions and are not included.

(5)We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of our uncertain income tax liabilities and interest payments due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions.

(6)Operating lease and other obligations includes operating lease payments of $99 and additional payments of $— for operating leases that have not yet commenced.

(7)Minimum royalty payments are related to continuing operations and are presented net of recoverable amounts.

(8)Purchase obligations are not recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Purchase obligations represent contractual obligations for purchase of power, materials and supplies, consumables, inventories and capital projects.

(9)Other includes service contracts and other obligations not recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the obligation related to the funding of Barrick's portion of pre-feasibility costs associated with Norte Abierto deferred payment obligations accrued in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities.

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly. Newmont is committed to the implementation of the GISTM and the disclosure of implementation status for tailings facilities by August 2025. Conformance with the GISTM is on-going and has and may continue to result in further increases to our estimated sustaining costs and closure costs for existing operations and non-operating sites. Additionally, laws, regulations and permit requirements focused on water management and discharge requirements for operations and water treatment in connection with closure are becoming increasingly stringent. Compliance with water management and discharge quality remains dynamic and has and may continue to result in further increases to our estimated closure costs.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $7,015 and $8,385, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing or development stage mineral properties, of which $928 and $558, respectively, were classified as current liabilities.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former, primarily historical, mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $370 and $401 were accrued for such obligations at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which $63 and $61, respectively, were classified as current liabilities. We spent $82, $44, and $56 during 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former mining activities.

Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2024 primarily related to decrease spend at portions of the Yanacocha site that are no longer in production and with no expected substantive economic value (i.e., non-operating) as a result of updated cost estimates. Newmont anticipates spending an average of $600 annually over the next two years on water treatment plants at

109

Table of Contents

Yanacocha, with expenditures expected to decline starting in 2027 upon project completion and in line with the regulatory compliance commitment. Yanacocha’s ongoing closure planning studies continue to address several complex closure issues, including water management, social impacts and tailings. The long-term water management solution under construction at Yanacocha will replace five existing water treatment facilities with two, addressing the watersheds along the continental divide.

Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2023 primarily related to (i) increased water management costs at portions of our Yanacocha and Porcupine site operations that are non-operating (ii) increased costs due to closure plan design changes at our Porcupine site operations (iii) higher waste disposal costs and project execution delays at the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites and (iv) higher estimated closure costs due to cost inflation.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, capital expenditures were approximately $35, $41, and $29, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations.

Our sustainability strategy is a foundational element in achieving our purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. Sustainability and safety are integrated into the business at all levels of the organization through our global policies, standards, strategies, business plans and remuneration plans. For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Notes 6 and 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For discussion of regulatory, tailings, water, climate and other environmental risks, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, for additional information.

Forward-Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion and analysis, as well as certain information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created thereby. For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors that might impact forward-looking statements and other important information about forward-looking statements, refer to the discussion in Forward-Looking Statements in Part I, Item 1, Business and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by 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, refer to Note 1 to the 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 tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

Free Cash Flow

Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the 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 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.
