Non-GAAP Measures

 

The Company has included certain performance measures in this news release which are not specified, defined, or determined under generally accepted accounting principles (in the Company’s case, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)). These are common performance measures in the gold mining industry, but because they do not have any mandated standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, the Company uses such measures to provide additional information and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  In this section, all currency figures in tables are in millions, except per-share and per-ounce amounts.

 

Net Cash (Debt)

 

Net cash (debt) is calculated as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments less total debt at the end of the reporting period.  This measure is used by management to measure the Company’s debt leverage. The Company believes that net cash is useful in evaluating the Company’s leverage and is also a key metric in determining the cost of debt.
