(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). Please refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below, for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A by the Company.

This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026.

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. Since 2015, Newmont has been included as a member in the Sustainability Yearbook published 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 United States, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Ghana, Suriname, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada. 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 geopolitical tensions, including military operations in Iran, Ukraine, and Venezuela, as well as the potential for additional conflicts, war, or civil unrest, 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors for further information.

Reportable Segments

In October 2025, the Company declared commercial production at its Ahafo North project in Ghana resulting in classification as a reportable segment. Prior to declaration of commercial production, Ahafo North was classified as a development project and all activity was included in the Ahafo South reportable segment up to the date of commercial production. Although not a reportable segment until the fourth quarter of 2025, the amounts related to Ahafo North have been reported separately for comparability purposes. Refer to Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

One of our reportable segments, NGM, is a joint venture that combined our and Barrick Mining Corporation’s (“Barrick”) respective Nevada operations, pursuant to the operating agreement entered into on July 1, 2019 between Barrick, Newmont and their wholly-owned subsidiaries party thereto (the “Nevada JV Agreement”). Barrick operates NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers, which is comprised of three managers appointed by Barrick and two managers appointed by Newmont. On January 26, 2026, we informed Barrick and the NGM Board of Managers that we had identified evidence of mismanagement at NGM, including diversion of resources from NGM to the benefit of Barrick’s wholly-owned property Fourmile and Barrick, and that we were exercising our contractual inspection and audit rights. On February 3, 2026, we sent Barrick a notice of default under the Nevada JV Agreement related to this conduct. Although we continue to work with Barrick to improve the performance of NGM and will take appropriate steps to address this matter, any such disagreements could have a material adverse effect on NGM and the Company. Refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026 for a discussion of risk factors related to our joint ventures.

Divestiture of Non-Core Assets

The Company completed the sale of certain non-core assets which included the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter of 2024, the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025, the sale of the Porcupine and Akyem reportable segments in the second quarter of 2025, and the sale of the Coffee development project in the fourth quarter of 2025. Prior to completion of the sale, the non-core assets were presented as held for sale and recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. These assets were periodically revalued until sale occurred with any resulting gain or loss recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale. Additionally, gains or losses recognized on the completion of the sale are recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale. At December 31, 2025, no assets remained held for sale.

Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on divestitures.

Ghanaian Stability Agreement and Royalty

The Revised Investment Agreement, under which Newmont previously operated in Ghana, expired on December 31, 2025. As a result, the previous maximum corporate income tax rate of 32.5% is now subject to a maximum corporate income tax rate of 35% and customs duties on imported goods used in mining operations ranging from 5% to 20% of the value of such items.

Under the prior regime, royalties were paid to the Government of Ghana under a sliding‑scale system based on average monthly gold prices and ranging up to 5% of revenues; this royalty regime expired on December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, royalties transitioned to a fixed rate of 5% of gold revenue. Subsequently, the Parliament of Ghana enacted legislation, effective early March 2026, revising the royalty framework to a sliding-scale structure ranging from 5% to 12% of gold revenues, based on prevailing gold prices.

The Government of Ghana is also entitled to a 10% free carried interest in the rights and obligations of the mineral operations by receiving 1/9th of the total amount paid as dividends to Newmont parent. When the average quoted gold price exceeds $1,300 per ounce within a calendar year, an advance payment on these amounts of 0.6% of total revenues is required. Upon the expiration of the tax stability regime on December 31, 2025, dividends paid will become subject to an 8% withholding tax.

Newmont also became subject to a Growth and Sustainability Levy (“GSL”) of 3% on gross revenue as a result of the expiration of the Revised Investment Agreement, effective January 1, 2026; however, in March 2026 the Parliament of Ghana enacted legislation reducing the GSL rate to 1%, effective April 1, 2026.

As a result, the Company is exposed to future changes in fiscal, tax, and other related regulatory regimes in Ghana as they may be enacted from time to time. The revised royalty framework and changes to the GSL could increase the Company’s operating costs at its Ghanaian operations, particularly during periods of higher gold prices.

Consolidated Financial Results

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

The increase in Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, is primarily due to a net increase in Sales, largely reflecting increased average realized gold and silver prices, and lower Costs applicable to sales, primarily due to the impact from divestitures. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher Income and mining tax benefit (expense) and a decrease in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale due to the completion of our divestment program in 2025.

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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A, please refer to the discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measures. 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 2025 and 2024 and year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024. Discussions of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for 2023 and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 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 21, 2025.

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. 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 United States, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Ghana, Suriname, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada. 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.

Reportable Segments

In October 2025, the Company declared commercial production at its Ahafo North project in Ghana resulting in classification as a reportable segment. Prior to declaration of commercial production, Ahafo North was classified as a development project and all activity was included in the Ahafo South reportable segment up to the date of commercial production. Although not a reportable segment until the fourth quarter of 2025, the amounts related to Ahafo North have been reported separately for comparability purposes. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

One of our reportable segments, NGM, is a joint venture that combined our and Barrick Mining Corporation’s (“Barrick”) respective Nevada operations, pursuant to the operating agreement entered into on July 1, 2019 between Barrick, Newmont and their wholly-owned subsidiaries party thereto (the “Nevada JV Agreement”). Barrick operates NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers, which is comprised of three managers appointed by Barrick and two managers appointed by Newmont. On January 26, 2026, we informed Barrick and the NGM Board of Managers that we had identified evidence of mismanagement at NGM, including diversion of resources from NGM to the benefit of Barrick’s wholly-owned property Fourmile and Barrick, and that we were exercising our contractual inspection and audit rights. On February 3, 2026, we sent Barrick a notice of default under the Nevada JV Agreement related to this conduct. Although we continue to work with Barrick to improve the performance of NGM and will take appropriate steps to address this matter, any such disagreements could have a material adverse effect on NGM and the Company. Refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors, for a discussion of risk factors related to our joint ventures.

Divestiture of Non-Core Assets

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 included Akyem, CC&V, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite, Telfer, and the Coffee 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.

The Company completed the sale the assets of the Telfer reportable segment in the fourth quarter 2024, the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025, the sale of the Akyem and Porcupine reportable segments in the second quarter of 2025, and the sale of the Coffee development project in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Table of Contents

Assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell and are periodically valued until sale occurs with any resulting gain or loss recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale. Additionally, gains or losses recognized on the completion of the sale are recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale.

As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2025 a gain of $1,066 was recognized within (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale, primarily resulting from the completed sales. For the year ended December 31, 2024, a loss of $1,114 was recognized within (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale, primarily consisting of write-downs on assets held for sale. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on divestitures.

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 Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM and on the Papua New Guinea Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Ghanaian Stability Agreement and Royalty

The Revised Investment Agreement, under which Newmont previously operated in Ghana, expired on December 31, 2025. As a result, the previous maximum corporate income tax rate of 32.5% is now subject to a maximum corporate income tax rate of 35% and customs duties on imported goods used in mining operations ranging from 5% to 20% of the value of such items. Additionally, royalties were previously paid to the Government of Ghana under a sliding‑scale system, based on average monthly gold prices and ranging up to 5% of revenues, plus an additional 0.6% on any production from forest reserve areas. The sliding-scale royalty regime also expired on December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, royalties transitioned to a fixed 5% rate on gold production, with the additional 0.6% forest reserve royalty continuing to apply where applicable.

The Government of Ghana is also entitled to receive 10% of a project’s net cash flow after reaching specific production milestones by receiving 1/9th of the total amount paid as dividends to Newmont parent. When the average quoted gold price exceeds $1,300 per ounce within a calendar year, an advance payment on these amounts of 0.6% of total revenues is required. Upon the expiration of the tax extension regime on December 31, 2025, dividends paid in addition to the carried interest will become subject to an 8% withholding tax. Also as a result of the agreement's expiration, Newmont is subject to a Growth and Sustainability Levy of 3% on gross revenue. As a result, the Company will also be exposed to future changes in fiscal, tax, and other related regulatory regimes in Ghana as they may be enacted from time to time. For instance, the Government of Ghana has announced plans to amend the country’s mineral royalty regime by replacing the flat 5% royalty rate, which became effective on January 1, 2026, with a sliding scale ranging from 5% to 12%, linked to prevailing gold prices. The proposed amendment was submitted to the Ghanaian Parliament on December 19, 2025, and is expected to be considered when parliamentary sessions resume in early February 2026. If enacted, the revised royalty framework could increase the Company’s operating costs at its Ghanaian operations, particularly during periods of higher gold prices. The timing, final structure, and implementation mechanisms of the proposed regime currently remain uncertain.

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, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to (i) a net increase in Sales largely due to higher average realized gold prices partially offset by the impact from divestitures, (ii) a net gain on completed divestments, compared to prior year write-downs from assets held for sale, recognized in (Gain) loss on sale of assets held for sale, and (iii) a net decrease in costs applicable to sales, recognized in Costs applicable to sales, primarily resulting from divested sites. This increase was partially offset by the increase in Income and mining tax benefit (expense) and Impairment charges, primarily at Yanacocha.

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

92

Table of Contents

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

The decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to the impact of the divested sites, which resulted in a decrease of $1,370.

Excluding the impact of divestitures, Costs applicable to sales increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher mining and milling costs at NGM and Brucejack, higher government royalties largely at Ahafo South, and higher worker's participation costs at Peñasquito and Yanacocha.

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.

The decrease in Depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to the impact of divested sites, which contributed $156 to the decrease in Depreciation and amortization.

Excluding the impact of divested sites, Depreciation and amortization was in line with the same period in 2024.

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

Exploration was $243, $266 and $265 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Exploration decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to a reduction in exploration spend due to the impact of divested sites.

Advanced projects, research and development was $166, $197 and $200 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Advanced projects, research and development decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to the discontinuation of certain studies and lower consulting costs.

General and administrative was $382, $442, and $299 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. General and administrative decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to lower salaries and benefits resulting from a strategic plan committed by management in the third quarter of 2025 to streamline organization structure and reduce the Company's workforce, lower consulting costs, and lower charges resulting from the Newcrest transaction. The strategic plan was designed to reduce operating costs and advance the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitability and included streamlining the Company’s organizational structure, a reduction in workforce, and a reduction in office space in certain markets. Refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was $229, $375, and $243 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Capitalized interest totaled $144, $114, and $89 in each year, respectively. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, as a result of the reduction in debt which was driven by a $2 billion debt tender for the partial redemption of certain senior notes, the full redemption of certain other senior notes, and an increase in capitalized interest.

Table of Contents

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $4,596, $1,397, and $526 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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; (vii) changes in permanent reinvestment assertions for Papua New Guinea and Ghana and (viii) 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. 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.

Other

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act H.R. 1 was signed into law in the U.S. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company does not anticipate the bill will have a material impact on the financial statements.

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%. On January 5, 2026, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released Administrative Guidance containing two Pillar II safe harbours under the new Side-by-side ("SbS") System. The Company is still examining the applicability of the new guidance to Newmont, but at this time, believes the new SbS Safe Harbour exempts the Company from Pillar II.

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 ounce (“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, the Company updated the metal prices utilized for the GEO calculation. Utilizing the updated 2025 pricing resulted in 317 thousand and 320 thousand fewer calculated "gold equivalent ounces - other metals" produced and sold, respectively, than would have been calculated using the 2024 pricing for the year ended December 31, 2025.

94

Table of Contents

(2)Effective January 1, 2026, the GEO calculation was updated to use the following metal price assumptions: Gold ($4,000/oz), Copper ($5.00/lb.), Silver ($50.00/oz), Lead ($0.90/lb.), and Zinc ($1.30/lb.). This update to the GEO calculation will have an impact on the calculated gold equivalent ounces, and will impact how costs are allocated to the respective GEOs, particularly resulting in higher costs allocated to gold. Utilizing the updated 2026 pricing would have resulted in 479 and 487 fewer calculated "gold equivalent ounces - other metals" produced and sold, respectively, than was calculated using the 2025 pricing for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024

Lihir, Papua New Guinea. Gold production was generally in line with the prior year. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce were generally in line with the prior year. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 19% primarily due to higher non-cash inventory costs per unit from ore processed from stockpiles and lower gold ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 6% primarily due to higher sustaining capital spend 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 2025, approximately 59% 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 by $190 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to significant currency devaluation of the Argentine peso as well as devaluation of the Mexican peso.

At December 31, 2025, 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 2026 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, 2025, Argentina was the only hyperinflationary economy in which the Company held operations.

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

Table of Contents

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.

In April 2025, the IMF Executive Board approved a 48-month, $20 billion extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility for Argentina. Within the program objectives, the IMF expressly mentions transitioning toward exchange rate flexibility, while gradually lifting foreign currency restrictions. The new exchange rate regime allows the Argentine peso to float within a moving band of 1,000 to 1,400 pesos per USD, expanding by 1% monthly at both limits. From January 1, 2026, the floating exchange rate regime between bands will remain in effect, and the monthly rate of adjustment of the upper and lower limits of the exchange rate band will be determined according to the latest monthly inflation data reported by INDEC. The central bank can intervene if the band is breached and may operate in secondary peso markets within the band. This managed float led to an immediate devaluation of the Argentine Peso. Further, a series of foreign currency restrictions have been lifted, including allowing companies to transfer to their foreign shareholders profits and dividends corresponding to fiscal years that began on or after January 1, 2025, provided applicable requirements are met.

We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the evolution of currency controls, which are currently 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. 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 including tariff and regulatory changes. 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 occur, including limitations on shipping produced metals; our supply chain could 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, 2025, 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, 2025, the Company had $7,647 in Cash and cash equivalents. 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, 2025, $2,347 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, 2025, $2,078 of 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, 2025, 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. At December 31, 2025, no amounts relating to Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash remained in Assets held for sale. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(2)Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations had an increase in cash provided of $4,016 during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the net increase in Sales largely resulting from higher average realized gold prices in 2025, partially offset by higher cash tax payments which is directly correlated to the increase in pre-tax income driven by the higher average realized gold prices. Refer to Consolidated Financial Results, above, for more information on Sales, and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on Income and mining tax benefit (expense).

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities of continuing operations had an increase in cash provided of $3,461 during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the sales of non-core assets in 2025, including net proceeds received of $2,811 and a reduction in capital expenditures of $405 as a result of the divestments, as well as an increase in proceeds received from the sale of investments. Refer to Notes 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities had an increase in cash used of $4,087 during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher redemptions of debt and repurchases of common stock in 2025. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Debt transactions.

Capital Resources

In February 2026, the Board declared a dividend of $0.26 per share as part of its updated capital allocation framework. This new framework is designed to be sustainable through the commodity cycle while also focusing on return of capital to shareholders, maintaining a resilient balance sheet, and making prudent capital investments for long-term value. 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; this program has been completed. In October 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2 billion stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock; this program has been completed. In July 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $3 billion stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock.

The program will be executed at the Company’s discretion, permits shares to be repurchased under a variety of methods, has no expiration date, 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 or to repurchase the full authorized amount. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future. Through the date of filing, we have executed and settled total trades of common stock repurchases under the previously authorized programs of $3,624, of which $2,303 was repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2025.

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 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 $2,000 and $2,400 for the PC 2-3 and PC1-2 Cadia Panel Caves project with development capital costs expected to continue until 2029.

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 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. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company had Additions to property, plant and mine development as follows:

____________________________

(1)In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Ahafo North development project achieved commercial production resulting in designation as a reportable segment. Prior to declaration of commercial production, Ahafo North was classified as a development project and all activity was included in the Ahafo South reportable segment. Although not a reportable segment until the fourth quarter of 2025, the amounts related to Ahafo North have been reported separately for comparability purposes. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information.

(2)Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company's divestitures.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, development projects primarily included Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Cadia Panel Caves, Red Chris Block Cave, Cerro Negro expansions projects, and the Goldrush Complex at NGM. Development capital costs

Table of Contents

(excluding capitalized interest and capitalized depreciation and amortization) on our Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, and Cadia Panel Caves projects since approval were $1,304, $900, and $516, respectively, of which $284, $284, and $268 related to the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, development projects included Red Chris Block Caves, Pamour at Porcupine, Cerro Negro expansion projects, Yanacocha Sulfides, Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, Phase 14A Wall construction at Lihir, Ahafo North, and Goldrush Complex at NGM.

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.

The Company will from time to time enter into hedging relationships to mitigate variability in development capital spend denominated in foreign currency. The Company has entered into A$1,734 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 related to the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Panel Caves, and Cadia Tailings projects expected to be incurred between October 2024 and December 2026. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, sustaining capital includes capital expenditures such as tailings facility construction, infrastructure improvements, underground and surface mine development, capital component purchases, mining equipment, and reserves drilling conversion. 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 relative to historical amounts as we continue to advance the critical tailings work at Cadia and Boddington and strengthen operating efficiency across our portfolio.

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. 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 2025, the Company completed debt extinguishments comprised of (i) a $2 billion debt tender consisting of partial redemptions of certain senior notes, (ii) the full redemption of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes, and (iii) the partial redemption of certain other senior notes through open market repurchases. As a result of these redemptions, the company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $101 for the year ended December 31, 2025, recognized in Other income (loss), net.

Debt Covenants. Our senior notes and revolving credit facilities contain various covenants and default provisions including payment defaults, limitations on liens, leases, sales and leaseback agreements, merger restrictions, limiting the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, certain change of control provisions, and a negative pledge on certain assets. Additionally, 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%.

At December 31, 2025, 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 $1,943 of outstanding surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees (refer to Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2025, none of the $4,000 corporate revolving credit facility was used to secure the issuance of letters of credit.

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

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

102

Table of Contents

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 $175 at December 31, 2025. 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 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, 2025.

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, 2025, Newmont USA guaranteed $5,051 of the $5,108 in total Obligor Group external debt. 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, 2025, Newmont USA guaranteed $517 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, 2025, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $5,589, none of which was secured (other than $474 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $9,133 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, 2025 are summarized as follows:

____________________________

(1)Debt includes principal of $5,343 on senior notes and estimated interest payments of $2,899 on senior notes, assuming no early extinguishment.

(2)Finance lease and other financing obligations includes finance lease payments of $608.

(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)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.

(5)Contractual obligations for Employee-related benefits include severance, workers’ participation, pension and other benefit plans. Pension plan and other benefit payments beyond 2035 cannot be reasonably estimated given variable market conditions and actuarial assumptions and are not included.

(6)Operating lease and other obligations includes operating lease payments of $123.

(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.

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. 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. Disclosures can be found on our website. Additionally, laws, regulations and permit requirements focused on water management and discharge requirements for operations and water treatment 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, 2025 and 2024, $6,800 and $7,015, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing or development stage mineral properties, of which $829 and $928, 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, $390 and $370 were accrued for such obligations at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $64 and $63, respectively, were classified as current liabilities. We spent $71, $82, and $44 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former mining activities.

Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2025 primarily related to increased cost estimates at Peñasquito resulting from updated risk assessments and the identification of additional uncertainties regarding long‑term tailings storage facility embankment stability, partially offset by a reduction in cost estimates at portions of the Yanacocha site that are no longer in production and with no expected substantive economic value (i.e., non-operating) following the completion of several closure related studies. Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2024 primarily related to a reduction in cost estimates at non-operating portions of the Yanacocha site.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, capital expenditures were approximately $58, $35, and $41, 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 24 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.
