SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 5     SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). In the second quarter of 2019, following the close of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction on April 18, 2019, and in anticipation of the formation of NGM effective July 1, 2019, the Company revised its operating segments and established the Nevada reportable segment to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM. The Company determined that its operations are organized into five geographic regions; North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada, which also represent Newmont’s reportable and operating segments.

As a result of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company acquired the Red Lake, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore and Peñasquito mines, which are included in the North America reportable segment, and the Cerro Negro mine, which is included in the South America reportable segment. Additionally, the Company acquired interests in the Pueblo Viejo mine, the Norte Abierto project, the NuevaUnión project and the Alumbrera mine, which are all accounted for as equity method investments. The Company’s investment in the Pueblo Viejo mine is included in the South America reportable segment within Other South America. All other equity method investments are included in Corporate and other. Refer to Note 3 and Note 20 for further information.

The Company’s Nevada reportable segment includes the Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon mines (“existing Nevada mining operations”), previously included in the North America reportable segment. In July of 2019, the Company added NGM to the Nevada reportable segment, which reflects the Company’s 38.5% ownership interest in the joint venture from the effective date to the period ended December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, the Company contributed its existing Nevada mining operations in exchange for its ownership interest in NGM. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

Segment results for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been revised to reflect these changes.

Notwithstanding the reportable segments structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information in the following tables. Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. Newmont’s business activities that are not included within the reportable segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes. The financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows:
