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 see the discussion under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis. 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 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") onFebruary 20, 2020 . OverviewNewmont 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 for 13 consecutive years and have adopted theWorld Gold Council's Conflict-Free Gold Policy. InJune 2020 ,Newmont was ranked the top miner in3BL Media's 100 Best Corporate Citizens list which ranks the 1,000 largest publicly tradedU.S. companies on environmental, social and governance transparency and performance. We are engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets inthe United States ("U.S."),Canada ,Mexico ,Dominican Republic ,Peru , Suriname,Argentina ,Chile ,Australia andGhana . During the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak escalated to a global pandemic, which has had varying impacts in the jurisdictions in which we operate. In response, the Company temporarily placed five sites into care and maintenance, including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha andCerro Negro inMarch 2020 and Peñasquito inApril 2020 . Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as ofJune 30, 2020 . Refer to the "Second Quarter 2020 Highlights", "Results of Consolidated Operations", "Liquidity and Capital Resources", "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Accounting Developments" for further information about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. OnApril 18, 2019 (the "acquisition date"),Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. ("Goldcorp"), anOntario corporation. The Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp in a primarily stock transaction (the "Newmont Goldcorp transaction") for total cash and non-cash consideration of$9,456 . The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, includes the results of operations acquired in theNewmont Goldcorp transaction sinceApril 18, 2019 . For further information, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. OnMarch 10, 2019 , the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") to establish a joint venture ("Nevada JV Agreement"). OnJuly 1, 2019 (the "effective date"),Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and establishedNevada Gold Mines LLC ("NGM"). As of the effective date, the Company contributed itsCarlin ,Phoenix , Twin Creeks andLong Canyon mines ("existingNevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of itsNevada mining operations and assets.Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM'sBoard of Managers . 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. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, includes the results of operations of NGM sinceJuly 1, 2019 . We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading environmental, social and governance practices, and sustaining our global portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to strategically reinvest in the business, strengthen the Company's investment-grade balance sheet and return cash to shareholders. Asset Sales Kalgoorlie We entered into a binding agreement datedDecember 17, 2019 , to sell our 50% interest in Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines ("Kalgoorlie"), included as part of theAustralia segment, to Northern Star Resources Limited ("Northern Star ").

$ 1.55
The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable toNewmont stockholders for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, the change in fair value of investments, lower operating costs as a result of reduced sales volumes, lower Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, lower exploration costs from the suspension of exploration drilling activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower remediation adjustments, partially offset by lower sales volumes due to temporarily placing certain operations into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Kalgoorlie during 2020 and higher income and mining tax expense. The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable toNewmont stockholders for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, the recognized gain on the sales of Kalgoorlie,Continental Gold, Inc. ("Continental") andRed Lake in 2020, lower Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, the change in fair value of investments, lower exploration costs from the suspension of exploration drilling activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower remediation adjustments, partially offset by lower sales volumes due to temporarily placing certain operations into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Kalgoorlie during 2020, higher amortization rates from the formation of NGM, the impairment charge of TMAC Resources, Inc. ("TMAC") and charges from debt extinguishment. For discussion regarding variations in production volumes and unit cost metrics, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The increase in gold sales during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices and higher volumes sold at the sites acquired as part of theNewmont Goldcorp transaction driven by six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by lower ounces sold due to certain operations being placed into care and maintenance in addition to the sale ofRed Lake and Kalgoorlie during 2020. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below. The decreases in copper sales during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product atPhoenix upon the formation of NGM onJuly 1, 2019 , compared to a co-product for the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , and lower production at Boddington. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below. The increases in silver, lead and zinc sales during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 are associated with increased production at Peñasquito primarily due to the blockade at Peñasquito in the prior year reducing production and six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by Peñasquito being placed into care and maintenance during a portion of 2020.

The decreases in Depreciation and amortization for copper for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product atPhoenix upon the formation of NGM onJuly 1, 2019 . The increases in Depreciation and amortization for silver, lead and zinc during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to the blockade at Peñasquito in the prior year reducing production and six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by Peñasquito being placed into care and maintenance during a portion of 2020. For discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below. Reclamation and remediation decreased by$33 and$25 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to remediation adjustments in the prior year related to updates of project cost estimates at Dawn remediation site and water management cost estimates at Con mine. Exploration expense decreased by$43 and$40 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to suspension of exploration drilling activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 48
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Advanced projects, research and development expense decreased by$6 and$6 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to lower spend inNevada following the formation of NGM. The decrease for six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same period in 2019, was also partially offset by increased spend associated with full potential opportunities inNorth America . General and administrative expense decreased by$9 and$3 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the progression of integration activities for theNewmont Goldcorp transaction and other cost reduction efforts. The decrease for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same period in 2019, was also partially offset by increased consulting services. General and administrative expense as a percentage of Sales was 3.0% and 2.8% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to 3.6% and 3.4% in the same periods in 2019. Care and maintenance was$125 and$145 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , respectively. Care and maintenance represents direct operating costs incurred at sites temporarily placed into care and maintenance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other expense, net decreased by$78 and$113 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to decreases in transaction costs associated with theNewmont Goldcorp transaction and the Nevada JV Agreement, partially offset by COVID-19 specific costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and higher restructuring and other costs. Gain on asset and investment sales, net was$(1) and$592 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , respectively, and was$32 and$33 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2019 , respectively. The change for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to 2019, is primarily due to the gain on the sale of exploration properties inNorth America in the second quarter of 2019. The change for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , compared to 2019, is primarily due to the 2020 sales of Kalgoorlie inAustralia , theRed Lake complex inCanada and our investment in Continental. See Note 9 for additional information on asset sales and Note 19 for additional information on investment sales. Other income, net increased by$140 and decreased by$93 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 is primarily due to larger increases in the fair value of investments in the current year, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses in the current year compared to unrealized foreign exchange gains in the prior year. The decrease for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 is primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment in TMAC and debt extinguishment charges, partially offset by larger increases in the fair value of investments in the current year. Interest expense, net decreased by$4 during the three months endedJune 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to lower interest rates as a result of the Company's recent debt refinancing transactions. Interest expense, net increased by$20 during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to increased debt balances as a result of theNewmont Goldcorp transaction and a decrease in capitalized interest. Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was$164 and$20 , and$141 and$145 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 ofthe United States dollar and foreign currencies; and (vii) 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. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes. 49

OnMarch 18, 2020 , the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCR Act"), and onMarch 27, 2020 , the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") were each enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FFCR Act and the CARES Act contain numerous income tax provisions such as the accelerated recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits and relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and on the use of net operating losses. The Company has analyzed this legislation and has determined that it has no effect on the income tax expense. However, due to the provision accelerating the recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits, the Company expects to receive a refund of all outstanding alternative minimum tax credits by the end of the calendar year and has now reflected these amounts as an income taxes receivable included in Other current assets as ofJune 30, 2020 . In addition to the FFCR and CARES Acts, governments in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, passed legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has evaluated these provisions and determined there is no impact on the income tax expense. Equity income (loss) of affiliates was$29 and$66 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , respectively, and was$26 and$21 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2019 , respectively. The year to date increase is primarily due to income of$83 from thePueblo Viejo mine, which was acquired as part of theNewmont Goldcorp transaction. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , earnings before income taxes and depreciation and amortization related to thePueblo Viejo Mine ("Pueblo Viejo EBITDA") was$82 and$183 , respectively, and was$74 and$74 during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2019 , 51

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was$(68) and$(83) for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , respectively.
