•Net income: Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $2,666 or $3.31 per diluted share, a decrease of $211 from the prior year primarily due to the recognized gain on the formation of NGM in 2019, lower sales volumes from certain sites being placed in care and maintenance and the sale of Kalgoorlie and Red Lake, and higher costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; partially offset by higher average realized gold prices, gains related to sales of assets and investments, lower transaction and integration costs and lower General and administrative costs.

•Adjusted net income: Delivered Adjusted net income of $2,140 or $2.66 per diluted share, an increase of $1.34 from the prior year (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis).

Our global project pipeline

Newmont’s capital-efficient project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects are presented below. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance.

Tanami Expansion 2, Australia. This project secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low cost producer with potential to extend mine life to 2040 through the addition of a hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to achieve higher production and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2024, and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $126, of which $112 related to 2020.

Musselwhite Materials Handling, North America. This project improves material movement from Musselwhite’s two main zones below Lake Opapimiskan. An underground shaft will hoist ore from the underground crushers, reducing haulage distances and ventilation costs. Commercial production was declared in December 2020.

We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

COVID-19 Update

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19 has since spread worldwide, posing public health risks across the globe and has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including a widely available vaccine, the duration and severity of the pandemic and related restrictions, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Impact on business and operations

Our operations have been affected by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control. For example, during the first quarter and into April 2020, we placed five sites into care and maintenance including Musselwhite and Éléonore in Canada, Peñasquito in Mexico, Yanacocha in Peru and Cerro Negro in Argentina to protect nearby communities and align with country mandated travel restrictions or health considerations. During the second quarter of 2020, we worked closely with

local stakeholders to resume operations at all five mine sites. As of December 31, 2020, all sites were fully operational, with the exception of Cerro Negro that continues to progress its ramp up.

In April 2020, we established the Newmont Global Community Support Fund, a $20 fund to help host communities, governments and employees combat the COVID-19 pandemic, of which approximately $11 has been distributed through December 31, 2020. The fund is designed to focus on employee and community health, food security and local economic resilience through partnerships with local governments, medical institutions, charities and non-governmental organizations to address the greatest needs with long-term resiliency and future community development in mind.
