NEWMONT FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS | NEWS RELEASE         1      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 Directors 1 . 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 target 3 , 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 billion 3 . Ratable Share Repurchase Program Once the above priorities are complete, Newmont intends to deploy excess cash 4 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. 1 See cautionary statement at the end of this release. The Enhanced Capital Allocation Framework is provided for illustrative purposes and remains non-binding. Guidance expectations, including capital allocation uses, future dividends, debt management and share repurchases, are forward-looking statements. An annualized dividend has not been declared by the Board of Directors. 2 Sustaining and development capital guidance and spend to date excludes capitalized interest. 3 Net cash balance is Cash and cash equivalents less Debt and Lease and other financing obligations as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net cash balance will change based on Net cash provided by operating activities , Additions to property, plant and mine development , dividends paid to common shareholders, repayment of debt principal, and other investing and financing activities. Refer to the Net Debt reconciliation below in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures schedules in this release. 4 Excess Cash is defined as cash available from operations (including Exploration, G&A, etc.) after funding balance sheet obligations (including debt principal repayments and reclamation spend), capital expenditures, other investing activities, paying the dividend, and achieving the net cash target.
