MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) dated April 25, 2024 of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “First Quarter Financial Statements”) that were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“Annual MD&A”) and annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (“Annual Financial Statements”). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements and this MD&A are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars”, “$” or “US$”) and all units of measurement are expressed using the metric system, unless otherwise specified. Certain information in this MD&A is presented in Canadian dollars (“C$”), Australian dollars (“A$”), or European Union euros (“Euros” or “€”). Additional information relating to the Company is included in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “AIF”). The AIF, Annual MD&A and Annual Financial Statements are available on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ (the “CSA”) SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.ca and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 40-F”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Certain statements contained in this MD&A, referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”, constitute “forward-looking information” under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See Forward-Looking Statements in this MD&A.

This MD&A discloses certain financial performance measures, including “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” (also referred to as “AISC per ounce”), “minesite costs per tonne”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted net income per share”, “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (also referred to as “EBITDA”), “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (also referred to as “adjusted EBITDA”), “free cash flow”, “free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital”, “sustaining capital expenditures”, “development capital expenditures”, and “operating margin” that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers. Each of “total cash costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” are reported on a per ounce of gold production basis. Minesite costs per tonne is reported on a per tonne of ore milled basis. For a discussion of the composition and usefulness of these measures and reconciliation of each of them to the most directly comparable financial information presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.

This MD&A also contains information as to estimated future total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne that the Company expects to incur to mine gold at its mines and projects and, consistent with the reconciliation of these actual costs referred to below under Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures, do not include production costs attributable to accretion expense and other asset retirement costs, which will vary over time as each project is developed and mined. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measure.

Payable production (a non-GAAP non-financial performance measure) is the quantity of mineral produced during a period contained in products that have been or will be sold by the Company, whether such products are sold during the period or held as inventories at the end of the period.

Meaning of “include” “including” and “such as”: When used in this MD&A the terms “include’, “including” and “such as” mean including and such as, without limitation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Business Overview

Agnico Eagle is a senior Canadian gold mining company that has produced precious metals since its formation in 1972. The Company’s mines are located in Canada, Australia, Mexico and Finland, with exploration and development activities in Canada, Australia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The Company and its shareholders have full exposure to gold prices due to its long-standing policy of no forward gold sales. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.

Agnico Eagle earns a significant proportion of its revenue and cash flow from the production and sale of gold in both dore bar and concentrate form. The remainder of revenue and cash flow is generated by the production and sale of by-product metals, primarily silver, zinc and copper.

Agnico Eagle’s operating mines and development projects are located in what the Company believes to be politically stable countries that are supportive of the mining industry. The political stability of the regions in which Agnico Eagle operates helps to provide confidence in its current and future prospects and profitability. This is important for Agnico Eagle as it believes that many of its current mines and projects have long-term mining potential.

Recent Developments

Credit Facility

On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions that provides a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”). On the same day, the Company drew $200.0 million on the New Credit Facility and used the proceeds of such draw to repay the Company’s previous $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”) and the Old Credit Facility was terminated. The New Credit Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on February 12, 2029. Concurrently, the Company’s $600.0 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) was amended to, among other things, align the covenants, including the net debt to EBITDA ratio covenant, and the events of default with those of the New Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Activities”.

Financial and Operating Results

On March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle closed the transaction (the “Yamana Transaction”) with Pan American Silver Corp and Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”) pursuant to which, among other things, Agnico Eagle acquired all of Yamana’s Canadian assets including the 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex that Agnico Eagle did not then hold. Accordingly, contributions from the 100% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex have been included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 while the comparative period, the three months ended March 31, 2023, reflects the 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex held by Agnico Eagle during that period.

Operating Results

Agnico Eagle reported net income of $347.2 million, or $0.70 per share, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $1,816.9 million, or $3.87 per share, in the first quarter of 2023. The key drivers of the changes in net income are set out in the table below. Included in net income is a re-measurement gain of $1,543.4 million recognized in the first three months of 2023. This gain arose from the Yamana Transaction and the corresponding application thereto of purchase accounting relating to a business combination achieved in stages, which requires the re-measurement on such acquisition of the Company’s previously held 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex to the fair value implied by such acquisition.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income1 of $377.5 million, or $0.76 per share1, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with adjusted net income of $271.3 million, or $0.58 per share, in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher operating margins between periods. Agnico Eagle reported EBITDA1 of $882.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $2,272.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased in the first quarter of 2024 to $929.3 million compared to $740.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher operating margins between periods.

In the first quarter of 2024, operating margin1 increased by 22.1% to $1,046.2 million, compared with $856.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a 21.2% increase in revenues from mining operations as a result of the additional volume contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, higher gold sales volumes at the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes and higher gold prices, partially offset by lower gold sales volume from the Fosterville mine.

Gold production increased to 878,652 ounces in the first quarter of 2024 compared with 812,813 ounces in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the additional contribution of gold production from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, and increased gold production at the Meadowbank complex, partially offset by decreased gold production at the Fosterville, Detour Lake and Kittila mines.

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $783.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $649.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margins, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.

Free cash flow1 increased to $395.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $264.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margins, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods. Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital1 increased to $389.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $223.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 due to higher operating margins in the current period.

The table below sets out variances in the key drivers of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2023:

(millions of United States dollars)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Revenues from mining operations increased to $1,829.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $1,509.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the increased gold sales volume at the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, higher gold sales volumes at the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes and a 9.0% increase in the realized gold sales price, partially offset by lower gold sales volume at the Fosterville mine.

Production costs were $783.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 20.0% increase compared with $653.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the increased contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex due to the Yamana Transaction and higher production costs at the LaRonde complex and the Detour Lake and Meliadine mines, partially offset by lower production costs at the Meadowbank mine.

Total cash costs per ounce2 increased to $901 on a by-product basis and $930 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $832 on a by-product basis and $861 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased costs at the Detour Lake, Macassa and Meliadine mines and the Canadian Malartic and LaRonde complexes. A reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues) to production costs is set out in this MD&A, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures below.

Exploration and corporate development expenses decreased to $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $53.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower expenses incurred at the regional exploration targets in Finland.

Amortization of property, plant and mine development increased by $53.3 million to $357.2 million between the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the additional contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction combined with the increased amortization at the Macassa mine, partially offset by decreased contribution from the La India mine.

Finance costs increased to $36.3 million during the first quarter of 2024, compared with $23.4 million during the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the interest incurred on the Company’s $600.0 million Term Loan Facility.

Loss on derivative financial instruments amounted to $45.9 million during the first quarter of 2024, compared with a gain of $6.5 million during the first quarter of 2023 due to less favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods.

Other expenses decreased to $11.9 million during the first quarter of 2024, compared with $20.1 million during the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to non-recurring transaction costs associated with the Yamana Transaction incurred in 2023.

The revaluation gain in the first quarter of 2023 was due to the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex to fair value at the close of the Yamana Transaction. The acquisition date fair value of the previously held 50% interest was determined to be $2,697.6 million, resulting in the recognition of a re-measurement gain through net earnings of $1,543.4 million. The fair value of $2,697.6 million forms part of the total consideration transferred under the Yamana Transaction.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $141.9 million on income before income and mining taxes of $489.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.0%. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $128.6 million on income before income and mining taxes of $1,945.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 6.6%. The increase in

Total cash cost per ounce is a non-GAAP measure that is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS. For a reconciliation of this measure on a by-product and co-product basis to production costs see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

the effective tax rate between the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023 is primarily due to the non-taxable revaluation gain recorded on the acquisition of Yamana’s interests in its Canadian assets during the first quarter of 2023.

There are several factors that can significantly affect the Company’s effective tax rate including varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of certain tax assets, mining allowances, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in tax laws, the impact of specific transactions and assessments and the relative distribution of income in the Company’s operating jurisdictions. As a result of these factors, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate significantly in future periods.

Non-current liabilities			8,144,543			8,214,008
Total liabilities		$	9,160,071		$	9,262,034

Total assets of $28.8 billion at March 31, 2024, increased by $0.1 billion, compared with total assets of $28.7 billion as at December 31, 2023. The Company’s total assets are primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and mine development and goodwill. The increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, non-current stockpiles and investments, partially offset by decrease in property, plant and mine development.

Total liabilities of $9.2 billion at March 31, 2024, decreased by $0.1 billion compared with total liabilities of $9.3 billion at December 31, 2023. The Company’s total liabilities are primarily comprised of non-current liabilities such as deferred income and mining tax liabilities, long-term debt and reclamation provisions. The decrease in total liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and reclamation provisions.

While the Company occasionally enters into contracts to limit the risk associated with decreased by-product metal prices, increased foreign currency costs (including where used for capital expenditures) and input costs, the contracts act as economic hedges of underlying exposures and are not held for speculative purposes. Agnico Eagle does not use complex derivative contracts to hedge exposures. During the first three months of 2024, the Company put in place currency hedge positions to support its key input costs used in budgeting and mine planning assumptions. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding currency derivative contracts related to $2,953.4 million of 2024 and 2025 expenditures (December 31, 2023 — $3,324.7 million) and diesel fuel derivative contracts related to 15.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2023 — 15.0 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $524.6 million compared with $338.6 million as at December 31, 2023. The Company’s policy is to invest excess cash in what the Company believes to be highly liquid investments of high credit quality to reduce risks associated with these investments. Such investments with remaining maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time of purchase are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s decisions regarding the length of maturities it holds are based on cash flow requirements, rates of return and various other factors.

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased to $1,229.6 million as at March 31, 2024, compared with $1,143.1 million as at December 31, 2023, primarily due a $186.0 million increase in cash and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

cash equivalents and a $53.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $69.2 million in inventories, a decrease of $52.5 million in the fair value of derivative financial instrument assets (net of derivative financial instrument liabilities) and a $23.3 million decrease in other current assets.

On March 28, 2024, Moody’s Ratings upgraded the Company’s investment grade credit rating to Baa1 with a Stable Outlook, recognizing the Company’s financial strength and stability. In addition, Fitch has provided an investment grade credit rating of BBB+ (Outlook Stable). These ratings underscore the Company’s strong business and credit profile, with low leverage and conservative financial policies, and recognize the benefits of the Company’s size and scale and operations in favourable mining jurisdictions.

Subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those set in this MD&A and in the Company’s AIF, the Company believes it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations and has adequate cash and debt facilities available to finance its current operations, working capital requirements, contractual obligations, debt maturities, planned capital expenditure and exploration programs. While the Company believes its capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy all its mandatory and discretionary commitments, the Company may choose to decrease certain of its discretionary expenditure commitments, which include certain capital expenditures and exploration and corporate development expenses, should unexpected financial circumstances arise in the future. See “Risk Profile” in this MD&A for further details.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $783.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $649.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher gold sales volume from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction and 9.0% higher realized gold prices in the current period, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2024 of $413.0 million decreased compared to $1,398.7 million of cash used in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to $1,000.6 million in net non-recurring cash consideration paid in connection with the Yamana Transaction in the comparative period.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company purchased $24.0 million in equity securities and other investments compared with $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s equity securities and other investments consist primarily of investments in common shares and share purchase warrants of entities in the mining industry.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $183.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $836.4 million cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $1.0 billion credit facility drawdown used to finance the cash consideration paid in connection with the Yamana Transaction in the comparative period.

The Company issued common shares for net proceeds of $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, attributable to issuances under the employee stock option plan exercises, the incentive share purchase plan and the dividend reinvestment plan.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 375,000 common shares for $19.9 million at an average price of $52.99 under the normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”). During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 common shares for $4.8 million at an average price of $47.75 under the NCIB.

The Company intends to seek approval from the TSX to renew the NCIB for another year on substantially the same terms.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

On February 15, 2024, Agnico Eagle declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share paid on March 15, 2024 to holders of record of the common shares of the Company as of March 1, 2024. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid dividends of $157.3 million compared to $156.2 million paid in the first quarter of 2023. Although the Company expects to continue paying dividends, future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be subject to factors such as income, financial condition and capital requirements.

On February 12, 2024, the Company replaced its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with the $2.0 billion New Credit Facility, which includes an uncommitted accordion feature of $1.0 billion. The New Credit Facility is available in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, or in Canadian dollars through CORRA and prime rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00%. The New Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that varies from 0.60% to 2.00%. The lenders under the New Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.09% to 0.25% of the undrawn portion of the New Credit Facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating. The Company’s subsidiaries are not required to guarantee the payment and performance of its obligations under the New Credit Facility, however the Company must provide guarantees from certain of its subsidiaries if any existing indebtedness of the Company benefits from guarantees and the Company no longer maintains an investment grade credit rating, or if the Company incurs new indebtedness for borrowed money and provides guarantees of such new indebtedness from any of its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting certain actions of the Company and its material subsidiaries, and customary events of default for a borrower with the Company’s credit profile. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company drew down and repaid $600.0 million on its Credit Facility. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company drew down $1.0 billion on its Old Credit Facility, which was used to finance the cash consideration portion of the Yamana Transaction. As at March 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding balance under the New Credit Facility was nil. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit at that date, which were $1.1 million as at March 31, 2024, resulting in $1,998.9 million available for future drawdown.

The Company has five uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain Canadian financial institutions (the “LC Facilities”). At March 31, 2024, amounts available under these letter of credit facilities are as follows; C$400.0 million, C$320.0 million, C$200.0 million, C$200.0 million and $75.0 million. As at March 31, 2024, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the LC Facilities was $662.7 million. Additionally, the Company has a standby letter of guarantee facility (the “Guarantee Facility”) with a Canadian financial institution providing for a $25.0 million uncommitted letter of guarantee facility. The aggregate undrawn face amount of guarantees under the guarantee facility at March 31, 2024 was $12.9 million.

As at March 31, 2024, the Company has indemnity agreements with three companies for the issuance of surety bonds of which $310.9 million of such surety bonds have been issued under these agreements.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the New Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, the LC Facilities, the Guarantee Facility, and the $1,250.0 million of its guaranteed senior unsecured notes as at March 31, 2024.

Risk Profile

The Company is subject to significant risks, including fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and other risks due to the inherent nature of the business of exploration, development and mining of properties with precious metals. Changes in economic conditions and volatile financial markets may have a significant impact on Agnico Eagle’s cost and availability of financing and overall liquidity. The volatility in

AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

gold prices directly affects Agnico Eagle’s revenues, earnings and cash flow. Volatile energy, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact production costs. For a more comprehensive discussion of these and other risks, see “Risk Factors” in the AIF filed on the CSA’s SEDAR website and with the SEC as part of the Form 40-F.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”).

ICFR is a framework designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management has used the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in order to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR.

DC&P form a broader framework designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in securities legislation and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Together, the ICFR and DC&P frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation, is accumulated and communicated in a timely fashion. Due to their inherent limitations, the Company acknowledges that, no matter how well designed, ICFR and DC&P can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and as such may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of ICFR is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

This MD&A presents certain financial performance measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, free cash flow before changes in working capital, total cash costs per ounce (on both a by-product and co-product basis), minesite costs per tonne, all-in sustaining costs per ounce (on both a by-product and co-product basis), operating margin, sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures, that are not recognized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers. Non-GAAP financial performance measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated by adjusting the net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net income for items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, revaluation gains, impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions,

AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

purchase price allocations to inventory, gains or losses on the disposals of assets and income and mining taxes adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and in making comparisons between periods. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are intended to provide investors with information about the Company’s continuing income generating capabilities from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which the Company believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses this measure to, and believes it is helpful to investors so they can, understand and monitor for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow before Changes in Non-Cash Components of Working Capital

Free cash flow is calculated by deducting additions to property, plant and mine development from the cash provided by operating activities line item as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows.

Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by excluding items such as the effect of changes in non-cash components of working capital from free cash flow, which includes trade receivables, income taxes, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable.

The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the Company’s ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders without relying on external sources of funding. Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital also provide investors with information about the Company’s financial position and its ability to generate cash to fund operational and capital requirements as well as return cash to shareholders. Management uses these measures in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS to, and believes it is helpful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating ability of the Company.

The following table sets out the calculation of free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Total Cash Costs per Ounce and Minesite Costs per Tonne

Total cash costs per ounce is calculated on a per ounce of gold produced basis and is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for by-product revenues, inventory production costs, the impact of purchase price allocation in connection with mergers and acquisitions on inventory accounting, realized gains and losses on hedges of production costs, operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 and other adjustments, which include the costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of certain portions of the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Macassa mine, as well as smelting, refining and marketing charges and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Given the nature of the fair value adjustment on inventory related to mergers and acquisitions and the use of the total cash costs per ounce measures to reflect the cash generating capabilities of the Company’s operations. Investors should note that total cash costs per ounce are not reflective of all cash expenditures, as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. Total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis, except that no adjustment is made for by-product metal revenues. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals.

Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide investors information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company’s mining operations. Management also uses these measures to, and believes they are helpful to investors so investors can, understand and monitor the performance of the Company’s mining operations. The Company believes that total cash costs per ounce is useful to help investors understand the costs associated with producing gold and the economics of gold mining. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis measure allows management and investors to assess a mine’s cash-generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne as these measures are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Agnico Eagle’s primary business is gold production and the focus of its current operations and future development is on maximizing returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. Accordingly, all metals other than gold are considered by-products.

In this MD&A, unless otherwise indicated, total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis because (i) the majority of the Company’s revenues are from gold, (ii) the Company mines ore, which contains gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all costs to revenues from the gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals the Company produces, (iv) it is a method used by management and the Board to monitor operations, and (v) many other gold producers disclose similar measures on a by-product rather than a co-product basis.

Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for inventory production costs, operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 and other adjustments, and then dividing by tonnage of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce can be affected by fluctuations in by — product metal prices and foreign exchange rates, management believes that minesite costs per tonne is useful to investors in providing additional information regarding the performance of mining operations, eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. Management is aware, and investors should note, that this per tonne measure of performance can be affected by fluctuations in processing levels. This inherent limitation may be partially mitigated by using this measure in conjunction with production costs and other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following tables set out a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce (on both a by-product basis and co-product basis) and minesite costs per tonne to production costs, exclusive of amortization, as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS.

Notes:

(i)

The information set out in this table reflects the Company’s 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter.

(ii)

Under the Company’s revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue.

(iii)

This inventory adjustment reflects production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory.

(iv)

Other adjustments consists of costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Macassa mine and smelting, refining, and marketing charges to production costs.

(v)

The La India mine’s cost calculations per tonne for the three months ended March 31, 2024 exclude approximately $16.0 million of production costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 following the cessation of mining activities at the La India open pit during the fourth quarter of 2023.

All-in Sustaining Costs per Ounce

All-in sustaining costs per ounce (also referred to as “AISC per ounce”) on a by-product basis is calculated as the aggregate of total cash costs on a by-product basis, sustaining capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration), general and administrative expenses (including stock options), lease payments related to sustaining assets and reclamation expenses, and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. These additional costs reflect the additional expenditures that are required to be made to maintain current production levels. AISC per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the total cash costs on a co-product basis are used, meaning no adjustment

has been made for by-product metal revenues. Investors should note that AISC per ounce is not reflective of all cash expenditures as it does not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments, nor does it include non-cash expenditures, such as depreciation and amortization. In this MD&A , unless otherwise indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce is reported on a byproduct basis (see “Non-GAAP measures — Total cash costs per ounce” for a discussion of regarding the Company’s use of by-product basis reporting).

Management believes that AISC per ounce is helpful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides helpful information about operating performance. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and, in the case of AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne, as AISC per ounce is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company follows the guidance on calculation of AISC per ounce released by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) in 2018. The WGC is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry that has worked closely with its member companies to develop guidance in respect of relevant non-GAAP measures. Notwithstanding the Company’s adoption of the WGC’s guidance, AISC per ounce of gold produced reported by the Company may not be comparable to data reported by other gold mining companies.

The following tables set out a reconciliation of production costs to all-in sustaining costs per ounce for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).

Notes:

(i)

Under the Company’s revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue.

(ii)

Other adjustments consists of in-kind royalties, smelting, refining and marketing charges to production costs.

(iii)

The total cash costs per ounce is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. See “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures — Total Cash Costs per Ounce and Minesite Costs per Tonne” for more information on the Company’s use of total cash cost per ounce.

(iv)

Sustaining leases are lease payments related to sustaining assets.

Operating Margin

Operating margin is calculated by deducting production costs from revenue from mining operations. In order to reconcile operating margin to net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company adds the following items to the operating margin: income and mining taxes expense; other expenses (income); care and maintenance expenses; foreign currency translation (gain) loss; environmental remediation costs; gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments; finance costs; general and administrative expenses; amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; revaluation gain and impairment losses (reversals). The Company believes that operating margin is a useful measure to investors as it reflects the operating performance of its individual mines associated with the ongoing production and sale of gold and by-product metals without allocating Company-wide overhead, such as exploration and corporate development expenses, amortization of property, plant and mine development, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, gain and losses on derivative financial instruments, environmental remediation costs, foreign currency translation gains and losses, other expenses and income and mining tax expenses. Management uses this measure internally to plan and forecast future operating results. Management believes this measure is helpful to investors as it provides them with additional information about the Company’s underlying operating results, though it should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of operating margin to revenue from operations, see “Summary of Operations Key Performance Indicators”.

Sustaining Capital Expenditures and Development Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures incurred during the production phase to sustain and maintain existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production from which the Company will derive economic benefits. Sustaining capital expenditures include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures represent the spending at new projects and/or expenditures at existing operations that are undertaken with the intention to increase production levels or mine life above the current plans. Management uses these measures in the capital allocation process and to assess the effectiveness of its investments. Management believes these measures are useful so investors can assess the purpose and effectiveness of the capital expenditures split between sustaining and development in each reporting period. The classification between sustaining and development capital expenditures does not have a standardized definition in accordance with IFRS and other companies may classify expenditures in a different manner.

ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of the Canadian Assets of Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”)

On March 31, 2023, the Company completed a transaction (the “Yamana Transaction”) under an arrangement agreement entered into with Yamana and Pan American Silver Corp. (“Pan American”) pursuant to which Pan American acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Yamana and Yamana sold the subsidiaries and partnerships that held Yamana’s interests in its

ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

Canadian assets to Agnico Eagle, including the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex that the Company did not then hold, a 100% interest in the Wasamac project located in the Abitibi region of Quebec and several other exploration properties located in Ontario and Manitoba. The acquisition increased the Company’s production, mineral reserves and cash flow.

The Company determined that the acquisition represented a business combination under IFRS 3 — Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), with Agnico Eagle identified as the acquirer and, as such, was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3.

Prior to the Yamana Transaction, Agnico Eagle’s 50% interests in CMC and the Partnership were jointly controlled with Yamana and met the definition of a joint operation under IFRS 11 — Joint Arrangements, with Agnico Eagle recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in its consolidated results. As of March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle controlled 100% of CMC and the Partnership and, upon applying the requirements under IFRS 3 for a business combination achieved in stages, the Company re-measured its previously held 50% interest in CMC and the Partnership to fair value on acquisition date. The acquisition date fair value of the previously held 50% interest was determined to be $2,697.6 million, resulting in the recognition of a re-measurement gain through net earnings of $1,543.4 million. The fair value of $2,697.6 million forms part of the total consideration transferred under the Yamana Transaction as reflected in the table below. The fair value of common shares issued was calculated based on 36,177,931 common shares issued at the closing share price immediately prior to the closing of the Yamana Transaction.

The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquired assets, net of the assumed liabilities is as follows:

Fair value of common shares issued	$	1,858,219
Cash		1,001,291
Fair value of previously held 50% interest		2,697,604
	$	5,557,114

The final estimates of fair value have been adjusted retrospectively to the acquisition date. Certain previously reported financial statement line items were updated to reflect the impact of the adjusted final estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Yamana Transaction.

The following table sets out the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of fair value.

Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented as reported in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2023.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For items that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing their classification at the end of each reporting period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

The following table sets out the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2024 using the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Financial assets:
Trade receivables (Note 7A)		$	—		$	6,940		$	—		$	6,940
Equity securities (FVOCI) (Note 9)			340,475			18,127			—			358,602
Share purchase warrants (FVPL) (Note 9)			—			30,568			—			30,568
Fair value of derivative financial instruments (Note 15)			—			10,166			—			10,166
Total financial assets		$	340,475		$	65,801		$	—		$	406,276

Fair value of derivative financial instruments (Note 15)			—			19,087			—			19,087
Total financial liabilities		$	—		$	19,087		$	—		$	19,087

Valuation Techniques

There were no changes in the Company’s valuation processes, techniques or types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured and Recognized at Fair Value

Long-term debt is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is presented in Note 10 of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The committed subscription proceeds for the San Nicolás project is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 at amortized cost. The fair value of the San Nicolás liability is determined by discounting the minimum unavoidable obligation under the joint venture shareholders’ agreement between Agnico Eagle and Teck Resources Limited at a discount rate that reflects the Company’s credit rating. The fair value of the San Nicolás liability is not materially different from the carrying amount as a result of the difference between the discount rate used at the initial recognition date and the current market rates at March 31, 2024.

Non-current loans receivable and other receivables are included in the other asset line item in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of loans and other receivables is the present value of future cash inflows discounted at a market interest rate. The fair value of these financial assets is not materially different from the carrying amounts as at March 31, 2024 (Note 7B).

Old Credit Facility

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, drawdowns and repayments on the Company’s previous $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”) each totaled $200.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Old Credit Facility drawdowns totaled $1.0 billion.

On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into the New Credit Facility (as defined below) and terminated the Old Credit Facility.

New Credit Facility

On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into the New Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions that provides the Company a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and includes a $1.0 billion uncommitted accordion facility. The New Credit Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on February 12, 2029. The New Credit Facility is available in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, or in Canadian dollars through CORRA and prime rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00%. The New Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that varies from 0.60% to 2.00%. The lenders under the New Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.09% to 0.25% of the undrawn portion of the New Credit Facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating. The Company’s payment and performance of its obligations under the New Credit Facility are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries, however the Company must provide guarantees from certain of its subsidiaries if any existing indebtedness of the Company benefits from guarantees and the Company no longer maintains an investment grade credit rating, or if the Company incurs new indebtedness for borrowed money and provides guarantees of such new indebtedness from any of its subsidiaries. The New Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting certain actions of the Company and its material subsidiaries, and customary events of default for a borrower with the Company’s credit profile. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, New Credit Facility drawdowns and repayments each totaled $400.0 million. As at March 31, 2024, $1,998.9 million was available for future drawdown under the New Credit Facility. New Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were $1.1 million as at March 31, 2024.

Term Loan Facility

On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with two financial institutions that provides a $600.0 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company drew down the Term Loan Facility in full on April 28, 2023. The Term Loan Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on April 21, 2025. The Term Loan Facility is available as a single advance in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s credit rating.

On February 12, 2024, the Company and the lenders under the Term Loan Facility amended the Term Loan Facility in connection with the Company’s entry into the New Credit Facility to, among other things, release the subsidiary guarantees previously provided to the lenders under the facility.

The Term Loan Facility contains covenants that limit the actions of the Company in the same manner and to the same extent as the existing limitations under the New Credit Facility. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.

EQUITY

Net Income Per Share

The following table sets out the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Net income for the period — basic		$	347,192		$	1,816,891
Add: Dilutive impact of cash settling LTIP			364			(1,776)
Net income for the period — diluted			347,556			1,815,115
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — basic (in thousands)			497,619			468,968
Add: Dilutive impact of common shares related to the RSU plan, PSU plan and LTIP			1,170			1,349
Add: Dilutive impact of employee stock options			18			138
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted (in thousands)			498,807			470,455
Net income per share — basic		$	0.70		$	3.87
Net income per share — diluted		$	0.70		$	3.86

Diluted net income per share has been calculated using the treasury stock method. In applying the treasury stock method, outstanding employee stock options with an exercise price greater than the average quoted market price of the common shares for the period outstanding are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 4,271,419 (2023 — 3,516,350) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”)

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 375,000 common shares for $19.9 million at an average price of $52.99 as part of its authorized NCIB program (2023 — 100,000 common shares for $4.8 million at an average price of $47.75). All repurchased shares were cancelled as of March 31, 2024. The book value of the cancelled shares was $13.9 million (2023 — $3.6 million) and was treated as a reduction to common share capital. The portion of the consideration paid for the repurchased shares in excess of their book value was treated as a reduction to contributed surplus.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 1,021,400 stock options, 182,400 PSUs, 532,376 RSUs and the associated stock based compensation expense recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income was $16.1 million (2023 — $15.1 million). Stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses and production costs, consistent with the classification of other elements of compensation expense for the applicable employees.

The following table sets out activity with respect to Agnico Eagle’s outstanding stock options:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024					Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

The average share price of Agnico Eagle’s common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was C$69.10 (2023 — C$69.51).

Agnico Eagle estimated the fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Risk-free interest rate		4.11%		4.26%
Expected life of stock options (in years)		2.4		2.5
Expected volatility of Agnico Eagle’s share price		32.0%		36.0%
Expected dividend yield		3.0%		3.6%

The Company uses historical volatility to estimate the expected volatility of Agnico Eagle’s share price. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Currency Risk Management

The Company uses foreign exchange economic hedges to reduce the variability in expected future cash flows arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the US dollar as a significant portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Euro and the Mexican peso. These potential currency fluctuations increase the volatility of, and could have a significant impact on, the Company’s production costs and capital expenditures. The economic hedges relate to a portion of the foreign currency denominated cash outflows arising from foreign currency denominated expenditures.

As at March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts related to $2,953.4 million of 2024 and 2025 expenditures (December 31, 2023 — $3,324.7 million). The Company recognized mark-to-market adjustments in the loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. The Company did not apply hedge accounting to these arrangements.

Mark-to-market gains and losses related to foreign exchange derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models that utilize period-end forward pricing of the applicable foreign currency to calculate fair value.

The Company’s other foreign currency derivative strategies in 2024 and 2023 consisted mainly of writing US dollar call options with short maturities to generate premiums that would, in essence, enhance the spot transaction rate received when exchanging US dollars for foreign currencies. All of these derivative transactions expired prior to period-end such that no derivatives were outstanding as at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The call option premiums were recognized in the loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

Commodity Price Risk Management

To mitigate the risks associated with fluctuating diesel fuel prices, the Company uses derivative financial instruments as economic hedges of the price risk on a portion of diesel fuel costs associated primarily with its Canadian operations’ diesel fuel exposure. There were derivative financial instruments outstanding as at March 31, 2024 relating to 15.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2023 — 15.0 million). The related mark-to-market adjustments prior to settlement were recognized in the loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. The Company did not apply hedge accounting to these arrangements.

Mark-to-market gains and losses related to heating oil derivative financial instruments are based on broker-dealer quotations that utilize period-end forward pricing to calculate fair value.

ONGOING LITIGATION

Kirkland

Effective as of February 8, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Kirkland in the Merger. Kirkland had previously disclosed the existence of certain contingent liabilities relating to outstanding litigation matters involving Kirkland and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, some of which were amalgamated as part of a pre-closing corporate reorganization completed in early February 2022. One litigation matter remained outstanding at the time of acquisition as described below.

Kirkland was the defendant in two putative class action complaints filed on June 29, 2020 and July 17, 2020 (and subsequently amended) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The complaints alleged that during the period from January 8, 2018 to November 25, 2019, Kirkland and Kirkland’s former chief executive officer violated the United States securities laws by misrepresenting or failing to disclose material information regarding Kirkland’s acquisition of Detour Gold Corporation, which closed in January 2020.

Following motions filed by both individual complainants, the Court entered an order on September 24, 2020 appointing one lead plaintiff and one lead counsel. On January 22, 2021, Kirkland filed a motion to dismiss. On September 30, 2021, the Court dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims against Kirkland. The parties subsequently carried out documentary and oral discoveries regarding the remaining claims, and the plaintiff filed for class certification in October 2023. The Court issued an order denying plaintiff’s motion for class certification on March 29, 2024. On April 14, 2024, the plaintiff applied to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for permission to appeal this decision. No decision has been rendered yet. Defendants previously filed a motion for summary judgement, and that motion is fully briefed and pending before the Court if the plaintiff’s appeal of the class certification is successful. The Company continues to believe that the claim is without merit.
