YAMANA GOLD INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
(With Comparatives as at December 31, 2017 and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017)
(Tabular amounts in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise noted)


1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Yamana Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “Yamana”) is a Canadian-based gold producer with significant gold production, gold development stage properties, exploration properties, and land positions throughout the Americas including Canada, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.  Yamana plans to continue to build on this base through existing operating mine expansions and optimization initiatives, development of new mines, the advancement of its exploration properties and, at times, by targeting other gold consolidation opportunities with a primary focus in the Americas.

The address of the Company’s registered office is 200 Bay Street, Suite 2200, Royal Bank Plaza North Tower Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2J3. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: YRI) and The New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: AUY).

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are comprised of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic mine, which is accounted for as a joint operation.


2.    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017, with the exception of the application of certain new and amended IFRSs issued by the IASB, which were effective from January 1, 2018. Those new and amended IFRSs that had a significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are described in Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The critical judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied and disclosed in Note 4: Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for those related to the determination of assets held for sale and discontinued operations related to the reclassification of Brio Gold as a disposal group held for sale, and those related to revenue recognition. These new critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in Note 4: Divestitures and Note 5: Revenue, respectively to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.


3.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
(a)
Application of New and Revised IFRSs

The Company has adopted the following new IFRSs that had an impact on these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements:

yamanalogo.jpg | 7


i.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15")

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15. IFRS 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. The Company adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening deficit at January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under IFRS 15, while prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The adoption of IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements, with the exception of adjustments to the metal streaming arrangements as discussed below, and the addition of new disclosures, which are included in Note 5: Revenue.

Under IFRS 15, where consideration is received in advance of the Company's performance of its obligation, there is an inherent financing component in the transaction. When the period between receipt of consideration and revenue recognition is greater than one year, the Company is required to determine whether the financing component is significant to the contract. The Company performed this assessment for its metal streaming arrangements with Sandstorm Gold Ltd ("Sandstorm") and Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius") that existed at the date of initial application of IFRS 15, and determined that the financing component was significant to each of these arrangements.

Accordingly, in accounting for each of the arrangements under IFRS 15, the transaction price is increased by an imputed interest amount and a corresponding amount of interest expense recognized in each period. The Company recorded a net increase of $16.4 million to the opening deficit balance as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting IFRS 15, as a result of adjustments to the deferred revenue balances associated with the Company's metal streaming arrangements. The adjustments resulted from a change in draw down rates resulting from the adjustment to the transaction price to reflect the financing component.

In accordance with the requirements in IFRS 15, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim statement of operations and condensed consolidated interim balance sheet as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was as follows:

The above changes are attributable to accounting for the financing component in the Company's streaming arrangements, as discussed above, and the financing component on the advanced copper purchase agreement entered into in January 2018. Refer to Note 13(d): Other Provisions and Liabilities to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

ii.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9")

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 (2014). IFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated with the exception of certain aspects of hedge accounting.

The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standard:

a.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Management reviewed and assessed the Company’s existing financial assets as at January 1, 2018 based on the facts and circumstances that existed at that date and concluded that the initial application of IFRS 9 has had the following impact on the Company’s financial assets as regards their classification and measurement:

•
Financial assets measured at FVTPL under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39") continue to be measured as such under IFRS 9;
•
Financial assets classified as Loans and Receivables under IAS 39 that were measured at amortized cost continue to be measured at amortized cost under IFRS 9;
•
Investments in equity securities that were classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 have been classified at FVOCI, pursuant to the irrevocable election available in IFRS 9. Under IFRS 9, all realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized permanently in OCI with no reclassification to profit or loss. Accordingly, impairment losses of $8.8 million on equity securities that the Company continued to own at January 1, 2018 that were previously recognized in profit or loss were reclassified from opening deficit to the fair value through OCI reserve on January 1, 2018.

b.
Impairment of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 introduced a single expected credit loss impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. The adoption of the expected credit loss impairment model did not have a significant impact on the carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets on the transition date given the Company transacts exclusively with large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings and the negligible historical level of customer default.
    
c.
Hedge Accounting

IFRS 9 changes the requirements for hedge effectiveness and consequently for the application of hedge accounting. The IAS 39 effectiveness test is replaced with a requirement for an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument, and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as that used by the entity for risk management purposes. Certain restrictions that prevented some hedging strategies and hedging instruments from qualifying for hedge accounting were removed under IFRS 9. Generally, the mechanics of hedge accounting remain unchanged.

All of the Company’s existing hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting under IAS 39 were assessed upon adoption of IFRS 9 and these have continued to qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. The Company also reassessed economic hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39. IFRS 9 has enabled the Company to apply hedge accounting to copper derivative contracts, thus reducing the volatility of reported net income. These positions previously did not qualify for hedge accounting as component hedging was not permitted under IAS 39.

The Company enters into zero-cost collars, which consist of a combination of purchased and written (sold) options to reduce the impact of the variability of the US Dollar amount of foreign currency denominated operating expenditures caused by changes in currency exchange rates. Under IAS 39, the Company separated the intrinsic value and time value of these contracts, designating only the change in intrinsic value as the hedging instrument. As a result, any variability in the intrinsic value was taken to OCI and any variability in the time value was taken to profit

yamanalogo.jpg | 9

or loss. Under IFRS 9, the Company will continue to separate the intrinsic value and time value of these contracts, designating only the change in intrinsic value as the hedging instrument as allowed under the exception provided in IFRS 9. However, under IFRS 9, changes in time value are recognized in OCI as a cost of hedging rather than in profit or loss, resulting in a reduction in profit or loss volatility.

Effect of adjustments arising from application of IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirements

Retrospective application of the costs of hedging approach has had the following effects on the amounts presented for 2017:

The application of the costs of hedging approach resulted in the Company recognizing $2.1 million of changes in the time value on the Company's zero-cost collar option contracts in OCI rather than in profit or loss as a finance expense in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Refer to Note 5: Revenue and Note 11: Financial Instruments for a description of the new accounting policies applied by the Company as a result of adoption of these new IFRS standards.

iii.
Adoption of other narrow scope amendments to IFRSs and IFRS Interpretations

The Company also adopted other amendments to IFRSs, as well as the Interpretation IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The impact of adoption was not significant to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

(b)
New and Revised IFRSs not yet Effective

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2018. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded from this note.


yamanalogo.jpg | 10

IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16")

IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this Standard. Project activities launched to date include the development of a project plan, project team structure, staff training, development of process tools for lease identification and roll-out of the data gathering phase, and the initiation of a search for a software solution for lease information management.


4.    DIVESTITURES

(a)
Brio Gold

On December 23, 2016, the Company closed its offering of purchase rights pursuant to which the Company has transferred common shares ("Brio Gold Shares") of Brio Gold to Yamana shareholders. A total of 17,324,507 Brio Gold Shares owned by the Company were transferred pursuant to the transactions at a price of C$3.25 per share for aggregate proceeds of $40.7 million (C$54.1 million) to the Company. The proceeds, net of transaction costs, were recorded as non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. As a result of the completion of these transactions, Brio Gold became a public reporting company with shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On March 6, 2017, the Company announced that it had completed a secondary offering by private placement of 6 million common shares of its holding of Brio Gold Shares. The Company sold the Brio Gold Shares at C$3.35 per share for total proceeds of $14.8 million (C$20.1 million) to an arm's length institutional shareholder.

On June 2, 2017, the Company announced that it had completed a further secondary offering by private placement of 27 million common shares of its holding of Brio Gold Shares. The Company sold the Brio Gold Shares at C$3.00 per share for total proceeds of $56.7 million (C$76.7 million) through a syndicate of underwriters.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, restricted share units held by Brio Gold management vested, further diluting the Company's interest in Brio Gold.

As at December 31, 2017, Yamana continued to be the controlling shareholder of Brio Gold, holding approximately 53.6% of the issued and outstanding shares.

On January 23, 2018, Leagold Mining Corporation (“Leagold”) announced its intention to make an offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brio Gold on or before February 28, 2018. In connection with the offer, Yamana entered into a support agreement with Leagold (the “Lock-up Agreement”), pursuant to which, Yamana agreed to tender all its Brio Gold Shares and to hold the Leagold shares received as consideration for a minimum period of 12 months, subject to certain exceptions. The Lock-up Agreement applied whether Leagold completed the transaction by way of the offer or by way of an alternative transaction.
On February 16, 2018, Leagold further announced that it had reached an agreement with Brio Gold under which, the previously announced proposed take-over bid by Leagold would now be completed on a Brio Board-supported basis by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). Under the terms of the Arrangement, Leagold will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Brio Gold in exchange for i) 0.922 of a Leagold share and ii) 0.4 of a Leagold share purchase warrant (“Leagold Warrant”) for each Brio share outstanding, representing an implied price of C$2.90 per Brio Share as of that date. Each Leagold Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Leagold share at a price of C$3.70 for a period of two years following completion of the transaction.
Following the Brio Gold shareholders approval of the Arrangement on April 12, 2018, Brio Gold obtained order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) with respect to the Arrangement on April 17, 2018.
Immediately prior to the classification to assets and liabilities held for sale, the carrying amount of Brio Gold was re-measured to its recoverable amount, being its fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") using the share price of Leagold per the TSX (C$2.86 per Leagold share). This is a level 1 measurement as per the fair value hierarchy. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $145.0 million in relation to Brio Gold immediately prior to the classification to assets and liabilities held for sale. The $145.0 million is the net of a $270.4 million gross asset impairment, of which $125.4 million is related to the non-controlling interests of Brio Gold. The Company re-measured Brio Gold to its recoverable amount, determined using the closing share price of Leagold per the TSX (C$2.61 per Leagold share) as at March 31, 2018. The Company recorded an additional impairment loss of $23.2 million in relation to the Brio Gold held for sale assets. The $23.2 million is the net of a $47.8

yamanalogo.jpg | 11

million gross asset impairment, of which $24.6 million is related to the non-controlling interests of Brio Gold. The net after-tax impairment loss recognized in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totalled $168.2 million, which is net of a $5.8 million deferred income tax recovery.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018. Upon completion of the Arrangement, and following the recently announced planned equity issue by Leagold, Yamana will own approximately 20.5% of Leagold.

Brio Gold is presented in the "Other Mines" reportable operating segment.

Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies

Determination of Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company concluded that the assets and liabilities of Brio Gold met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Brio Gold, as applicable, were presented separately in the Company's condensed consolidated interim balance sheet under current assets and current liabilities, respectively.

Management applies judgement to determine whether a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, meets the criteria of a discontinued operation. The key area that involves management judgement in this determination is whether the component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation. This determination applied to Brio Gold, as it is a component of the Company. Given that the Company will continue to operate in Brazil after the disposal of Brio Gold and based on quantitative analysis performed, the Company concluded that Brio Gold is not a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation, thus it is not considered a discontinued operation.

(b)
Gualcamayo and Related Argentinian Exploration Properties

As part of its ongoing strategic and technical reviews of its asset portfolio, in December 2017 the Company committed to a formal plan to dispose of the Gualcamayo mine and related exploration properties in Argentina (“Gualcamayo”) and initiated an active program to sell Gualcamayo. As the sale was considered highly probable, at December 31, 2017 the assets and liabilities of Gualcamayo were classified as assets and liabilities (a disposal group) held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Immediately prior to the classification to assets and liabilities held for sale, the carrying amount of Gualcamayo was re-measured to its recoverable amount, being its FVLCD, the estimate of which, was supported by various sources including a formal bid received by the Company, external valuation reports and comparable trading company multiples. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $356.5 million in relation to Gualcamayo in the year ended December 31, 2017. As at March 31, 2018, there was no further write-down as the carrying amount of the disposal group did not fall below its fair value less costs to sell.

The Company continues to focus on the sale process and a sale transaction continues to be expected in 2018.

Gualcamayo is presented in the "Other Mines" reportable operating segment.

(c)
Canadian Exploration Properties

On March 29, 2018, the Company completed the sale of certain jointly owned exploration properties of the Canadian Malartic Corporation (“CMC”) including the Kirkland Lake and Hammond Reef properties (the “Canadian Exploration Properties”) to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”) for total cash consideration of $162.5 million. The Transaction was structured as a sale of assets by CMC (in which the Company holds a 50% indirect interest) pursuant to which Agnico acquired all of the Company's indirect 50% interest in the Canadian exploration assets of CMC.

At December 31, 2017, the sale was considered highly probable and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Canadian Exploration Properties were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively. No impairment loss was recognized on reclassification to held for sale, as the FVLCD was higher than the carrying amount of the assets based on the sales price in the agreement. Upon sale, the Company recognized a gain of $39.0 million, which is included in other income (expenses) in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements

The policies described below have been applied in the preparation of the revenue numbers for the three months ended March 31, 2018. In the comparative period, revenue was accounted for in accordance with the revenue policy disclosed in the Company’s Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Gold and Silver

The Company sells gold and silver in bullion and doré form to customers, which are all major financial institutions.

Revenue is recognized when control of the gold or silver has transferred to the customer. For bullion sales, this is typically at the point in time when the bullion is credited to the metal account of the customer. For doré sales, this is typically at the point in time when the doré is shipped from the mine. Following the crediting of gold or silver to a customer’s metal account or the shipment of doré, the customer has legal title to, physical possession of, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the metal, and therefore, the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the metal.

Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the metal is transferred to the customer. A receivable is recognized when the metal is transferred to the customer, as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Metal Concentrate

The Company sells concentrate from its Chapada mine in Brazil. The concentrate is sold to independent smelting companies for extraction of the metal contents, which are predominantly copper, with small quantities of gold and silver.

Revenue from concentrate sales is recognized when control of the concentrate has transferred to the customer, which is typically upon loading of the concentrate onto the shipping vessel for shipment to the customer. At this point in time, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the concentrate, and is committed to accept and pay for the concentrate. Although legal title does not pass until receipt of the first provisional payment, the fact that under the contract the customer has the right to process the concentrate as soon as it is received, indicates that the customer has obtained control of the concentrate prior to the transfer of title - i.e. the customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the concentrate.

Concentrate sales include provisional pricing features whereby the price is provisional at the time of sale, with the final sales price based on the market price at a future specified date and the final physical attributes (i.e. quantity of contained metals) of the concentrate determined after further processing and assessment. The price adjustments associated with changes in market price and the physical attributes of the concentrate

yamanalogo.jpg | 14

give rise to variability in the consideration the Company will receive from the customer. The variability associated with the change in market prices is accounted for separately as a derivative.

At the point in time that control of the concentrate transfers to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue and a receivable (the latter, because the Company has determined it has an unconditional right to the consideration). Revenue is measured at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to - being the estimate of the price expected to be received upon final invoice (at the end of the quotational period) using the most recently determined estimate of metal quantity and the estimated forward price. The receivable is measured at fair value through profit or loss, and is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement. The period between provisional and final invoicing is typically 3 to 4 months. The Company presents changes in the fair value of the receivable arising from provisionally priced contracts in the revenue line in the statement of operations.

Streaming arrangements and Advanced metal sales

From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with customers pursuant to which, the Company receives consideration in advance of the delivery of metals.

Under advanced metal sales, the Company receives advanced consideration against the delivery of a fixed quantity of a specified metal over a specified period.

The Company has entered into the following advanced metal sales agreements:

•
On January 10, 2018, the Company entered into an advanced metal sales agreement pursuant to which, the Company received advanced consideration of $125.0 million in exchange for approximately 40.3 million pounds of copper to be delivered in the second half of 2018 and the first half of 2019.

Under streaming arrangements, the Company receives advanced consideration against the delivery of a portion of future metal production referenced to the mine(s) of the Company specified in the contract. In addition to the advanced consideration, the Company may also receive a cash payment as metals are delivered to the customer.

The Company has entered into the following streaming arrangements:

•
On October 27, 2015 the Company entered into three metal purchase agreements with Sandstorm pursuant to which, the Company received advanced consideration of $170.4 million against future deliveries of silver production from Cerro Moro, Minera Florida and Chapada, copper production from Chapada, and gold production from Agua Rica. In addition to the advanced consideration, the Company receives cash payments equal to 30% of market price at the date of delivery.
•
On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into a copper purchase agreement with Altius, pursuant to which, the Company received advanced consideration of $61.1 million against future deliveries of copper produced by the Company's Chapada mine in Brazil. In addition to the advanced consideration, the Company receives cash payments equal to 30% of the market price at the date of delivery.

The Company recognizes the advanced consideration as deferred revenue and recognizes the amounts in revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations to deliver metal to the customer over the life of the contract. In contracts for the delivery of gold or silver bullion, this is typically at the point in time when the metal is credited to the metal account of the customer. For copper sales, this is at the point in time when the copper, in the form of copper warrants, is delivered to the customer. Following the crediting of gold or silver to a customer’s metal account or the delivery of copper warrants, the customer has legal title to, physical possession of, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the metal, and therefore, the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the metal.

The Company determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the statement of operations on a per unit basis. In advanced metal sales arrangements, this is over the fixed number of ounces specified in the contract. In streaming arrangements, the estimated total quantity of metal expected to be delivered to the customer over the term of the contract is used. Subsequent changes to expected deliveries result in an adjustment to revenue in the year of change to retroactively adjust for the new number of ounces or pounds expected to be delivered under the contract.

Where consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance of its obligation, there is an inherent financing component in the transaction. When the period between receipt of consideration and revenue recognition is greater than one year, the Company determines whether the financing component is significant to the contract.

yamanalogo.jpg | 15


Where a contract is determined to have a significant financing component, the transaction price is adjusted to reflect the financing. The discount rate used in adjusting the promised amount of consideration is the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Company and the customer at contract inception. This rate is not subsequently adjusted for any other changes over the contract term.

The accretion of the interest expense is recognized in the finance expense line in the statement of operations, unless capitalized to assets under construction in accordance with the Company’s policy on capitalized borrowing costs.

The Company estimates the current portion of deferred revenue based on quantities anticipated to be delivered over the next twelve months.

Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Application of Variable Consideration Constraint

The Company determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the statement of operations on a per unit basis using the expected quantity of metal (ounces for gold and silver and pounds for copper) that will be delivered over the term of the contract, which is based on geological reports and the Company’s LOM plan at contract inception. As subsequent changes to the expected quantity of metal to be delivered triggers a retrospective adjustment to revenue, management is required to estimate the ounces or pounds to be included in the denominator that will be sufficient such that subsequent changes are not expected to result in a significant revenue reversal. Accordingly, management includes reserves and portion of resources, which management is reasonably confident are transferable to reserves, in the calculation. With this approach, the Company considers that it is highly probable that changes in subsequent reserve and resource estimates will not result in a significant revenue reversal of previously recognized revenue.

The income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was negative 21.8% (2017 - 76.5%). Included in deferred taxes is the loss on translation of tax balances of $4.8 million (2017 - recovery of $27.2 million), the tax of $14.5 million (2017 - nil) on the disposition of the Canadian Exploration Properties, the non-recognition of deferred tax assets on losses in non-profitable entities of $78.7 million (2017 - $10.7 million) and the deductible local foreign exchange losses of $13.4 million (2017 - taxable local foreign exchange gains of $14.4 million).


9.    (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER SHARE

(Loss)/earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the year. The diluted (loss)/earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

i)
Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value:

yamanalogo.jpg | 19


Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2:    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
 
March 31, 2018

At March 31, 2018, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

ii)
Valuation Methodologies Used in the Measurement of Fair Value for Level 2 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Receivables from Provisional Copper Sales

The Company's copper concentrate sales are subject to provisional pricing with the final selling price adjusted at the end of the quotational period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company's accounts receivable relating to these contracts are marked-to-market based on quoted forward prices for which an active commodity market exists.

Warrants

The fair value of warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, including volatility estimates.

Derivative Related Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using either present value techniques or option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs. The Company continues to monitor the potential impact of the recent instability of the financial markets, and will adjust its derivative contracts for credit risk based upon the credit default swap spread for each of the counterparties as warranted.

iii)
Carrying Value Versus Fair Value

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial instruments, other than those whose carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value:

$

$

$
1,751.5

(i)
The Company's senior unsecured notes are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. The fair value required to be disclosed is determined by discounting the future cash flows by a discount factor based on an interest rate of 5% which reflects the Company's own credit risk.

Management assessed that the fair values of trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Derivative assets and liabilities are already carried at fair value.

c)
Financial Instruments and Related Risks

Market risk is the risk that changes in market factors, such as foreign exchange, commodity prices or interest rates will affect the value of the Company's financial instruments. Market risks are managed by either accepting the risk or mitigating it through the use of derivatives and other economic hedges. As at March 31, 2018 there are no substantial changes to the market risk described in Note 16: Financial Instruments to the Company's Consolidated Annual Financial Statements.

The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, and foreign exchange rates by entering into derivative financial instruments from time to time, in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Details of these contracts are included in Note 16: Financial Instruments to the Company's Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. The Company did not enter into any new contracts during the quarter.

d)
New Accounting Policies

The below new accounting policies have been applied in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below.

•
The Company has taken an exemption not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) requirements. Therefore, comparative periods have been restated only for retrospective application of the cost of hedging approach for the time value of option contracts. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognized in retained earnings/(deficit) and reserves as at January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirements of IFRS 9 but rather those of IAS 39.

•
The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application.
◦
The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.
◦
The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.
◦
The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

•
Changes to hedge accounting policies have been applied prospectively except for the cost of hedging approach for the time value component of options, which has been applied retrospectively to hedging relationships that existed on or were designated after January 1, 2017.

•
All hedging relationships designated under IAS 39 at December 31, 2017 met the criteria for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 at January 1, 2018 and are therefore regarded as continuing hedging relationships.

i)
Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI - debt investment; FVOCI - equity investment; or FVTPL. The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

yamanalogo.jpg | 21

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
•
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
•
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
•
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
•
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Financial assets at amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses (see ii) below). Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss. Refer to iii) below for derivatives designated as hedging instruments.
Equity investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

ii)
Impairment

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

For trade receivables that are classified as financial assets at amortized cost, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

iii)
Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency operating expenses and capital expenditures.

yamanalogo.jpg | 22

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivative hedging instruments to forecasted transactions. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the degree to which the cash flows from the derivative contracts are expected to offset the cash flows of the underlying transaction being hedged.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. For hedged items other than the purchase of non-financial assets, the amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged transaction, identified at contract inception, affects profit or loss. When hedging a forecasted transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability.
Any ineffective portion of a hedge relationship is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to exclude the time value component of options and the forward element of forward contracts from the hedging relationships, with changes in these amounts recorded in other comprehensive income and treated as a cost of hedging. For hedged items other than the purchase of non-financial assets, the cost of hedging amounts is reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged transaction affects profit or loss. When hedging a forecasted transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the cost of hedging is added to the carrying amount of the non-financial asset.
When derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, expired, sold or no longer qualify for hedge accounting, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. Any amounts recorded in other comprehensive income up until the time the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting remain in other comprehensive income. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the underlying hedged transaction is completed. Gains or losses arising subsequent to the derivative contracts not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognized in the period incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.
If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of operations immediately.

Accordingly, in the three months to March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an interest expense of $2.0 million, with a corresponding increase to the deferred revenue balance.

19.    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with strategic acquisitions, to ensure the externally imposed capital requirements relating to its long-term debt are being met, and to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company defines capital that it manages as net worth, which is comprised of total shareholders’ equity and debt obligations (net of cash and cash equivalents). Refer to Note 16: Share Capital and Note 15: Long-term Debt, respectively, to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for a quantitative summary of these items.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of general economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and the Company’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue shares, pay dividends, or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as capital and operating budgets. The Company has not made any changes to its policies and processes for managing capital during the year.

The Company has the following externally imposed financial covenants on certain of its debt arrangements:
(a)
Tangible net worth of at least $2.3 billion.
(b)
Maximum net total debt (debt less cash) to tangible net worth of 0.75.
(c)
Leverage ratio (net total debt/EBITDA) to be less than or equal to 3.5:1.

Not meeting these capital requirements could result in a condition of default by the Company. As at March 31, 2018, the Company has met all of the externally imposed financial covenants.


20.    OPERATING SEGMENTS
 
The Company bases its operating segments on the way information is reported and used by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), being the Company's senior management team. The results of operating segments are reviewed by the CODM in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance.

The Company considers each of its individual operating mine sites and its mine under construction (Cerro Moro) as reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. In addition to these reportable segments, the Company aggregates and discloses the financial results of other operating segments with similar economic characteristics as reviewed by the CODM, including exploration properties and corporate entities, under "Corporate and Other".

The following changes have been made to Company's reportable segments since December 31, 2017:

•
The Company's mine under construction (Cerro Moro), which was included in "Corporate and Other" at December 31, 2017, is now a separate reportable segment. The project has successfully transitioned from construction to the commissioning phase and the assets associated with Cerro Moro now comprise over 11% of the Company's total assets.

•
The CODM reviews the results of operating mines that the Company does not intend to manage in the long-term and for which a disposal plan has been initiated, as one operating segment. Accordingly, Gualcamayo and Brio Gold, which were separate reportable operating segments at December 31, 2017 are now grouped into one reportable operating segment, "Other Mines".

Comparatives have been adjusted to conform to the change in presentation adopted in the current period.

22.    CONTINGENCIES
 
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will be resolved only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The impact of any resulting loss from such matters affecting these Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company may be material.

Canadian Malartic

On August 2, 2016, Canadian Malartic General Partnership (“CMGP”), a general partnership jointly owned by the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (the "Partnership"), was served with a class action lawsuit with respect to allegations involving the Canadian Malartic mine.  The complaint is in respect of "neighbourhood annoyances" arising from dust, noise, vibrations and blasts at the mine.  The plaintiffs are seeking damages in an unspecified amount as well as punitive damages in the amount of $20 million.  The class action was certified in May 2017.  In November 2017, a declaratory judgment was issued allowing the Partnership to settle individually with class members for 2017.  The plaintiffs have since announced that they intend to file an application for leave to appeal this declaratory judgment.  On December 11, 2017, hearings were completed in respect of certain preliminary matters, including the Partnership's application for partial dismissal of the class action.  The Company and the Partnership will take all necessary steps to defend themselves from this lawsuit.


yamanalogo.jpg | 31

On August 15, 2016, the Partnership received notice of an application for injunction relating to the Canadian Malartic mine, which had been filed under the Environment Quality Act (Quebec).  A hearing related to an interlocutory injunction was completed on March 17, 2017 and a decision of the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the injunction.  An application for permanent injunction is currently pending.  The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the injunction request, consider the request without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this injunction.  These measures include a motion for the dismissal of the application for injunction, which has been filed and will be heard at a date to be determined.  While at this time the potential impacts of the injunction cannot be definitively determined, the Company expects that if the injunction were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in production.

On June 1, 2017, the Partnership was served with an application for judicial review to obtain the annulment of a governmental decree.  The Partnership is an impleaded party in the proceedings.  The applicant seeks to obtain the annulment of a decree authorizing the expansion of the Canadian Malartic mine.  The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the application for judicial review, consider the application without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this application.  The hearing on the merits is scheduled to take place in October 2018.  While the Company believes it is highly unlikely that the annulment will be granted, the Company expects that if the annulment were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in anticipated future production.


23.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a)
Shareholder Supported Take-over Bid for Brio Gold Inc.

Following the Brio Gold shareholders approval of the Arrangement on April 12, 2018, Brio Gold obtained order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) with respect to the Arrangement on April 17, 2018. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018.


24.    GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the purposes of this information, the financial information of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries reflect investments in subsidiary companies on an equity accounting basis and are in compliance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. As provided for under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X the Company’s basis is “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiary columns.
