Read MoreHide Full Article
Newmont Corporation (NEM - Free Report) reported earnings from continuing operations of 42 cents per share in first-quarter 2023 compared with earnings of 54 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
Barring one-time items, adjusted earnings were 40 cents per share, down from 69 cents reported in the prior-year quarter but ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents.
The company’s revenues for the first quarter were $2,679 million, down around 11% year over year. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,861.3 million.
Higher costs and lower production weighed on the company’s first-quarter performance. Costs were higher due to reduced production volumes and global cost pressures.
Newmont Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Newmont's attributable gold production in the first quarter was 1.27 million ounces, down 5% from 1.34 million ounces a year ago.

The company’s costs applicable to sales (CAS) for gold were $1,025 per ounce, up 15% year over year.
