SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company considers each individual mine site as operating segments for financial reporting purposes except as noted below.

Following the Company’s acquisition and divestitures, and the closure of Marlin in 2017, the Company reassessed its segments for financial reporting purposes. The Company concluded that Marlin and Los Filos are no longer operating segments and are included in Other; they were previously included in the Other mines operating segment. The Company’s 37.5% interest in Alumbrera, which was previously reported as Other associate, and Leagold are also presented in Other, because their financial results do not meet the quantitative threshold required for segment disclosure purposes. Prior periods’ results have been re-presented to reflect the current presentation.

Assets in Other also include the Company’s 100% interest in the Coffee Project, the Company’s 50% interests in the NuevaUnión and the Norte Abierto projects, corporate assets and the Company’s closed and inactive mines. Liabilities in Other include the Company’s $1.0 billion notes, $1.5 billion notes, $182 million of deferred payment obligation (note 7(a)), the revolving credit facility, asset retirement obligations for closed and inactive mines and certain income taxes payable.

(i)

The Company has a long term agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton”) to deliver 25% of silver produced from Peñasquito during its life of mine for a per ounce cash payment of $4.13 (2016—$4.09), subject to annual inflation adjustments.

(b) Intersegment sales and transfers are eliminated in the above information reported to the Company’s CODM. For the year ended December 31, 2017, intersegment purchases included $541 million and $27 million, respectively, of gold and silver ounces purchased from Pueblo Viejo (2016 – $582 million and $24 million, respectively) and revenues related to the sale of these ounces to external third parties were $541 million and $27 million, respectively (2016 – $582 million and $24 million, respectively).
(c) A reconciliation of attributable segment total earnings from operations, associates and joint venture to the Company’s earnings before taxes per the Consolidated Statements of Earnings is as follows:

(i) Arose from corporate activities that would primarily be allocated to Other except for $27 million (2016 – $27 million) of finance costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, which would be allocated to the Peñasquito segment and gain on derivatives of $4 million (2016 – $3 million) which would be allocated primarily to the Peñasquito segment. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange of $23 million (2016 – $68 million) which would primarily be allocated to the Peñasquito and Cerro Negro segments.
(d) The attributable segment information relating to Pueblo Viejo, NuevaUnión and Alumbrera, as reviewed by the CODM, is based on the Company’s proportionate share of profits and expenditures on mining interests. However, as required by IFRS, the Company’s investments in Pueblo Viejo, NuevaUnión and Alumbrera are accounted for in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method (note 20). Alumbrera and NuevaUnión are presented in Other.
(e) During the year ended December 31, 2016, $22 million of corporate restructuring costs (note 11) were included in Other. There were no restructuring costs included in Other during the year ended December 31, 2017.
(f) On February 15, 2017, the Company paid cash consideration of $65 million and recognized a $2 million loss on the acquisition of the 4% gold stream on the El Morro deposit, part of the Company’s NuevaUnión joint venture, from New Gold Inc. eliminating the Company’s obligation to New Gold Inc.
(g) Earnings (loss) from operations, associates and joint venture includes $244 million of net impairment expense ($23 million reversal of impairment, net of tax recovery) recognized in respect of the Company’s mining interests (2016 – impairment reversal of $49 million) (note 21).
