Newmont Corporation - Q220 results
Notwithstanding COVID-19, Newmont’s underlying Q220 results were nothing if not solid. Unsurprisingly, gold production was down 220koz or 14.9% cf Q120; however, the realised gold price was 8.4% higher, such that sales were down just 8.4% and largely balanced by an 8.9% reduction in costs and expenses (despite an additional US$125m in COVID-19 related care and maintenance costs). Results in Q2 did not have the benefit of a net US$404m in (effectively) exceptional gains in Q1. In addition, the tax rate swung from a net benefit to a 29.8% charge on pre-tax profits. Nevertheless, on an underlying basis, adjusted net income declined just 19.9% q-o-q to US$261m, or US$0.32/share. Including lease obligations, net debt improved from US$3.03bn to US$2.87bn after US$388m in free cash flow generation in the three-month period.Newmont is primarily a gold producer with operations and/or assets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia and Ghana. The company is also engaged in the production of copper, silver, lead and zinc. The company's operations are organized in five geographic regions; North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada.
