Newmont Generates Record Quarterly Earnings and Free Cash Flow, Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Announces Increased Share Repurchase Authorization

 

 

 

 

 

Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (ASX: NEM) (PNGX: NEM) announced first quarter 2026 results and declared a dividend of $0.261 per share.

 

“Newmont delivered strong operational and financial performance in the first quarter, producing approximately 1.3 million attributable gold ounces and generating an all-time record $3.1 billion in quarterly free cash flow, keeping us well on track to achieve our 2026 guidance,” said Natascha Viljoen, Newmont’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Supported by our enhanced capital allocation framework, we have doubled the size of our share repurchase program with an additional $6.0 billion authorization, following the full execution of our previous program, under which we repurchased $2.4 billion of shares since the last earnings call. We look forward to building on this momentum in the second quarter and continue delivering sustainable returns to our shareholders.”

Delivering on Newmont’s Enhanced Capital Allocation Framework

 

In February, Newmont announced an enhanced capital allocation framework, designed to be sustainable through the commodity and investment cycles while maximizing total return of capital to shareholders, maintaining a flexible and resilient balance sheet, and focusing on high-return capital investments for long-term value creation. The capital allocation uses below are presented in order of priority.1 Newmont is consistently delivering on these priorities, supported by the record free cash flow generated in the first quarter of 2026.

 

Ongoing Sustaining Capital Investment in World-Class Portfolio

 

Newmont sees a clear opportunity to enhance the longevity of its portfolio and preserve asset integrity through targeted investments in critical infrastructure, ensuring the delivery of safe production across its operations. This includes tailings solutions, primarily at Cadia and Boddington, to support near- and long-term production capacity, positioning Newmont’s world-class operations to produce well into the middle of the century. These investments will require elevated sustaining capital spend over the next few years, as planned. Reflective of this approach, Newmont expects to spend $1.95 billion in 2026, as detailed in the ‘2026 Guidance Expectations’ section below. In the first quarter, Newmont spent $381 million in sustaining capital, with spend expected to increase beginning in the second quarter, with full-year 2026 guidance remaining unchanged.2

 

Sustainable Through the Cycle Cash Dividend

 

Newmont is committed to returning capital to shareholders through a sustainable cash dividend of $1.1 billion per year. Central to this framework is a dividend structured to grow on a per share basis without increasing Newmont’s financial commitment, as share repurchases executed through the cycle permanently lower the outstanding share count. The annual total per share dividend target will be calculated annually in February based on the current number of shares issued and outstanding. The dividend payment will be divided into four equal payments rounded up to the nearest $0.01, to be paid out on a quarterly basis, subject to quarterly approval by Newmont’s Board of Directors1. In line with this commitment, a dividend of $0.26 per share for the first quarter of 2026 has been declared payable on June 22, 2026, to holders of record of such common stock at the close of business on May 27, 2026. This equates to an indicated total annualized dividend of $1.04 per share, demonstrating the initial benefit of Newmont’s ongoing share repurchase program, with continued per share dividend increases expected as share repurchases continue.

 

Disciplined Approach to Development Capital Reinvestment

 

Newmont expects to spend $1.4 billion in development capital in 2026 as it advances the highest-return free cash flow generative near-term projects, while continuing to study, evaluate and define the future growth profile of its portfolio. In the first quarter of 2026, Newmont invested $239 million in its current development projects, with full-year 2026 guidance remaining unchanged.2 Newmont will maintain a disciplined focus on capital efficiency and value creation.

 

Maintaining an Optimized Capital Structure Through the Cycle

 

Newmont is focused on maintaining a resilient balance sheet, anchored by a $1 billion net cash target3, with flexibility of plus or minus $2 billion depending on market conditions. This approach ensures Newmont’s ability to return capital to shareholders and fund capital programs across commodity price cycles to support sustainable production growth. During strong commodity price environments, Newmont intends to further optimize its balance sheet by actively managing gross debt, while maintaining a minimum cash balance of $5 billion through the cycle. Consistent with these priorities, Newmont reduced gross debt by an additional $42 million since the previous earnings call. Newmont ended the first quarter of 2026 with a cash balance of $8.8 billion and a net cash balance of $3.2 billion3.

 

Ratable Share Repurchase Program

 

Once the above priorities are complete, Newmont intends to deploy excess cash4 on a ratable basis to share repurchases, driving sustained per share growth in the dividend and improving multiple per share metrics, including providing shareholders with greater exposure to the strong free cash flow generation from Newmont’s world-class portfolio. Since the last earnings call, Newmont executed an additional $2.4 billion of share repurchases, fully exhausting the previous repurchase authorization of $6.0 billion. To continue delivering on this priority, Newmont’s Board of Directors approved an additional $6.0 billion repurchase program. Newmont intends to request additional approval from its Board of Directors as the current authorization approaches completion, consistent with the Company’s disciplined and repeatable approach to returning excess cash to shareholders.

First Quarter 2026 Production and Financial Summary

 

Attributable gold production1 decreased 10 percent to 1,301 thousand ounces from the prior quarter, driven by lower production at Boddington as a result of the impact of the bushfire, lower production at Tanami as a result of lower grade from planned mine sequencing and the impact of record rainfall, and lower grade and planned maintenance at Lihir and Cerro Negro. In addition, lower production was delivered from the non-managed joint ventures at Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo. These decreases were partially offset by increased production at Yanacocha, Cadia, and Merian. Consolidated gold sales were 1,232 thousand ounces for the quarter.

 

Copper production increased 3 percent to 30 thousand tonnes compared to the prior quarter, driven by higher grade and improved throughput at Cadia. Silver production increased 29 percent to 9 million ounces, lead production increased 17 percent to 27 thousand tonnes and zinc production increased 35 percent to 62 thousand tonnes compared to the prior quarter, driven by higher co-product grade at Peñasquito.

 

Average realized gold price was $4,900 per ounce, an increase of $684 per ounce over the prior quarter. Average realized gold price includes $4,857 per ounce of gross price received, a favorable impact of $49 per ounce of mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and reductions of $6 per ounce for treatment and refining charges.

 

Costs Applicable to Sales (CAS)2 allocated to gold totaled $1.6 billion for the quarter, with an additional $327 million allocated to co-product metals. Gold By-Product CAS per ounce3 decreased 27 percent to $541 for the quarter primarily driven by favorable co-product volumes and sales pricing, particularly related to silver and copper. CAS also benefited from lower direct costs in the first quarter at Tanami, Lihir and Peñasquito, as well as a favorable build in inventory at Boddington. Newmont’s continued focus on cost discipline and productivity also supported the offset of higher royalty expense from a higher gold price. Gold Co-Product CAS per ounce3 was $1,307.

 

Gold By-Product All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) per ounce3 decreased 21 percent to $1,029 for the quarter. Building from CAS per ounce, the decrease was primarily due to lower sustaining capital spend, G&A, and other expenses. Sustaining capital spend is expected to ramp up through the remainder of this year, with Newmont remaining on track to spend its full year guidance. Gold Co-Product AISC per ounce3 was $1,709.

 

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders was $3.3 billion or $3.00 per diluted share, an increase of $2.0 billion from the prior quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher revenues due to a higher realized gold price, slightly lower CAS, impairment charges recognized during the quarter of $9 million compared to $779 million recognized in the prior quarter primarily related to Yanacocha Sulfides, and a decrease of $666 million in income and mining tax expense, primarily due to the recognition of one-time deferred tax items in the prior quarter.

 

Adjusted net income4 for the quarter was $3.2 billion or $2.90 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 billion or $2.52 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Primary adjustments to first quarter net income include a net gain on the fair value of investments and options of $87 million, partially offset by impairment charges of $9 million primarily related to assets no longer in use.

 

Consolidated cash from operations before working capital5 increased 12 percent from the prior quarter to $4.0 billion primarily due to higher revenue from a higher realized gold price and lower CAS.

 

Consolidated net cash from operating activities increased 5 percent from the prior quarter to $3.8 billion primarily due to higher consolidated cash from operations before working capital. This was partially offset by a net unfavorable working capital movement of $202 million, driven by the continued cash spend for previously accrued reclamation activities of $209 million, primarily related to the ongoing construction of the Yanacocha water treatment plants, as well as a build in inventory and stockpiles of $152 million, and an accrual of other liabilities of $118 million, primarily related to severance and employee-related liabilities. These unfavorable working capital adjustments were partially offset by an accrual for future tax payments of $200 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $70 million due to the timing of cash collections.

 

Income and mining cash tax paid increased 68 percent from the prior quarter to $1.3 billion due to higher net income attributable to Newmont shareholders, as well as higher cash tax paid due to the timing of annual tax payments accrued in 2025.

 

Free Cash Flowincreased 12 percent from the prior quarter to $3.1 billion primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and lower capital investment, partially offset by an unfavorable working capital impact in the current quarter compared to a favorable working capital benefit in the prior quarter.

 

Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in the first quarter, ending with $8.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents, with $12.8 billion of total liquidity; ended the quarter in a net cash position of $3.2 billion.8

 

Non-Managed Joint Venture and Equity Method Investments9

 

Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production decreased 19 percent to 236 thousand ounces, with a 2 percent increase in CAS per ounce to $1,281 per ounce.3 AISC per ounce increased 6 percent from the prior quarter to $1,595 per ounce.3

 

Pueblo Viejo attributable gold production decreased 22 percent to 54 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter. Cash distributions received for the Company’s equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo totaled $167 million in the first quarter. Capital contributions of $17 million were made during the quarter related to the expansion project at Pueblo Viejo.

 

Fruta del Norte attributable gold production is reported on a quarter lag. Production reported in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 5 percent to 38 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter. Cash distributions received from the Company’s equity method investment in Fruta del Norte were $89 million for the first quarter.

1 2026 guidance projections are considered forward-looking statements and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of February 19, 2026. Guidance is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. See cautionary statement at the end of this release.

 

H1/H2 Commentary: Attributable gold production in 2026 is expected to be approximately 52 percent weighted to the second half of the year. The increase in production in the second half of the year is expected to be driven by Boddington, Tanami, Lihir, Cerro Negro and Peñasquito while Cadia, Ahafo South and Merian are expected to produce higher ounces from higher grades in the first half of the year. Ahafo North production is expected to increase sequentially throughout 2026.

 

Sustaining capital spend in 2026 is expected to be approximately 52 percent weighted to the second half of the year. Spend in the second and third quarters is expected to be higher due to warmer weather surface work at Red Chris and Brucejack in Northern Canada and higher tailings spend at Cadia, Boddington and Tanami in Australia. Development capital spend is expected to be weighted 55 percent to the second half of 2026 driven primarily by the timing of significant work at the Lihir Nearshore Barrier starting in the second half of 2026.

 

Second Quarter Commentary: Newmont expects to produce 23 percent of total attributable production in the second quarter of 2026, slightly below first quarter production. Unit costs are expected to be notably higher than the first quarter due to higher sustaining capital spend, lower silver production, and higher costs applicable to sales at Boddington, Tanami, Lihir and Peñasquito. Unit costs may also be impacted by higher oil prices and a full quarter of the increased Ghana royalty. Sustaining and development capital spend are expected to increase in the second quarter due to the planned timing of investment.

1 2026 guidance projections are considered forward-looking statements and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of February 19, 2026. Guidance is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. Assumptions used for purposes of Guidance may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ from those anticipated, including variation beyond a +/-5% range. See cautionary statement at the end of this release.
2 Impacts are presented on a pretax basis.
3 Co-product metal pricing assumptions in imperial units equate to Copper ($5.00/lb.), Lead ($0.90/lb.) and Zinc ($1.30/lb.).
4 Silver revenue impact relates only to co-product silver revenue from Peñasquito, including the impact of the silver stream agreement.

 

Excluded from the sensitivity above is a royalty, production tax, and workers participation impact of approximately $6 per ounce for every $100 per ounce change in gold price.

 

Ghana Stability Agreement

 

On March 10, 2026, the Government of Ghana enacted a sliding royalty rate of 5 percent to 12 percent dependent on gold price. Subsequently on April 1, 2026, the Government of Ghana adjusted the previously enacted Growth and Sustainability Levy from 3 percent to 1 percent. Based on these changes, Newmont anticipates a potential impact to Gold AISC of approximately $185 per ounce for our Ghana operations, with a resulting impact for total Newmont of approximately $25 per ounce. The impact of these changes was not included in 2026 guidance, but Newmont is working to offset these costs through ongoing global cost and productivity initiatives. Newmont continues to engage constructively with the Government of Ghana on matters related to taxes, royalties and the broader fiscal environment, with the objective of supporting its long‑standing partnership and maintaining Ghana as a priority destination for future investment.

 

Cadia Operations Update

 

On April 14, 2026, a magnitude 4.5Mla earthquake was recorded in the New South Wales Central West near Newmont’s Cadia operation. Safety protocols were activated immediately at the time of the event and there were no reported injuries. The assessment of the impact remains ongoing across the operation; however, initial findings suggest the damage is limited. All surface infrastructure was inspected immediately following the event and sustained no damage, including the tailings facilities. The operation is currently processing surface stockpiles and expects underground rehabilitation to be completed in the next five weeks enabling a return to 80 percent operating capacity. Full operational capacity is expected by the end of the second quarter. As a result, second quarter production at Cadia is expected to be lower due to a short gap in mill feed, with operations returning to normal levels beginning in the third quarter.

 

Committed to Concurrent Reclamation

 

As mines operate for a finite period, careful closure planning is crucial to address the diverse social, economic, environmental and regulatory impacts associated with the end of mining operations. Newmont’s global Closure Strategy integrates closure planning throughout each operation’s lifespan, aiming to create enduring positive and sustainable legacies that last long after mining ceases. Newmont continues to recognize reclamation and remediation expense throughout the year. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, Newmont spent $209 million on reclamation activities, including $169 million on the construction of water treatment plants at Yanacocha. Newmont anticipates 2026 spending of approximately $850 million for the total portfolio and approximately $550 million on the Yanacocha water treatment plants. Total estimated spend on the Yanacocha water treatment plants is approximately $1.8 billion, with $938 million spent to date. Once complete, total reclamation spend is expected to return to more normal levels of $300 to $400 million in 2028.

____________________
1 2026 guidance projections are considered forward-looking statements and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of February 19, 2026. Guidance is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2026 Guidance assumes $4,500/oz Au, $5.00/lb Cu, $60.00/oz Ag, $1.30/lb Zn, $0.90/lb Pb, $0.70 AUD/USD exchange rate, $0.75 CAD/USD exchange rate and $70/barrel Brent. Production, CAS, AISC and capital estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved. The potential impact on inventory valuation as a result of lower prices, input costs, and project decisions are not included as part of this Guidance. Assumptions used for purposes of Guidance may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ from those anticipated, including variation beyond a +/-5% range. Guidance cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon Guidance and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Amounts may not recalculate to totals due to rounding. See cautionary statement at the end of this release.
2 All-in sustaining costs (AISC) as used in the Company’s Guidance is a non-GAAP metric; see 2026 Guidance – Gold AISC Reconciliation and related note for further information.
3 Consolidated production for Merian is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; attributable production represents a 75% interest for Merian.
4 Represents the ownership interest in the Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) joint venture. NGM is owned 38.5% by Newmont and owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM.
5 Attributable production includes Newmont’s 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as an equity method investment.
6 Attributable production includes Newmont’s 32% interest in Lundin Gold, who wholly owns and operates the Fruta del Norte mine, which is accounted for as an equity method investment on a quarter lag.
