Goldcorp Reports First Quarter 2018 Results
VANCOUVER, April 25, 2018 /CNW/ - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX:
G, NYSE: GG) ("Goldcorp" or the "Company") is pleased to report its first quarter 2018 results.
First Quarter Highlights
| · | Net earnings were $67 million, or $0.08 per share,
compared to net earnings of $170 million, or $0.20 per share, for the first quarter of 2017. Operating cash flows for the first
quarter of 2018 were $271 million compared to $227 million for the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted operating cash flows(1)
were $350 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $315 million for the first quarter of 2017. |
| · | Gold production of 590,000 ounces at all-in sustaining
costs(1) ("AISC") of $810 per ounce, compared to 655,000 ounces at AISC of $800 per ounce for the first quarter
of 2017. Full year 2018 guidance reconfirmed for gold production of 2.5 million ounces (+/-5%) at AISC of $800 per ounce (+/-5%). |
| · | Solid execution on project pipeline in support
of the Company's 20/20/20 growth plan. The Peñasquito Pyrite Leach project advanced to 86% completion, ahead of schedule,
the Musselwhite Materials Handling project advanced to 65% completion, on schedule and 10% below budget and the Borden project
is on track for commercial production by the second half of 2019. |
| · | Key milestone achieved with the completion of the
pre-feasibility study at NuevaUnión and advancement to the feasibility stage. The pre-feasibility study outlines a combined
and phased approach to the development of the Relincho and La Fortuna deposits at NuevaUnión with a project containing 8.9
million ounces of proven and probable gold mineral reserves and 17.9 billion pounds of proven and probable copper mineral reserves
(100% basis) to be produced over a 36 year mine life. The NuevaUnión project is foundational to the Company's Beyond 20/20
program and its feasibility study is expected in 2019. |
| · | Program to implement $250 million of sustainable
annual efficiencies by the middle of 2018 is on track with $210 million achieved as at the end of the first quarter of 2018 across
the Company's portfolio. More than 100% of the $250 million of efficiencies have been identified, with the program likely to
be extended and the efficiency target increased, after the Company achieves its current target. |
"Our operations again delivered on target quarterly results
while we continue to execute very well on our robust pipeline of growth projects, which together with excellent exploration results
from across our portfolio, continues to enhance confidence in our 20/20/20 plan of growing production and reserves by 20%, and
reducing AISC by 20% by 2021," said David Garofalo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp. "The completion
of a solid pre-feasibility study at NuevaUnión and the acceleration of study work, exploration and engineering at Century
and Norte Abierto underpin our Beyond 20/20 pipeline of potential new long-life, low-cost and large-scale mines."

The Company has included certain performance measures, including non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable basis
(Goldcorp share) throughout this release. Attributable performance measures include the Company's mining operations and projects
and the Company's share from Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Adjusted operating cash flows comprises Goldcorp's share of operating cash flows before working capital changes, calculated on an
attributable basis to include the Company's share of Pueblo Viejo, Alumbrera, Leagold and NuevaUnión's operating cash flows before
working capital changes. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the
Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to operate without reliance
on additional external funding or use of available cash. |
| |
|
| |
The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated financial statements to
Goldcorp's share of adjusted operating cash flows: |

"Cash costs: by product" per ounce and "AISC" per ounce are non-GAAP financial performance measures. |
| Cash costs: by-product: |
| |
| Total cash costs: by-product incorporate Goldcorp's share of all production costs, including adjustments to inventory carrying values, adjusted for changes in estimates in reclamation and closure costs at the Company's closed mines which are non-cash in nature, and include Goldcorp's share of by-product silver, lead, zinc and copper credits, and treatment and refining charges included within revenue. Additionally, cash costs are adjusted for realized gains and losses arising on the Company's commodity and foreign currency contracts which the Company enters into to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in by-product metal prices, heating oil prices and foreign exchange rates, which may impact the Company's operating costs. |
| |
| In addition to conventional measures, the Company assesses this per ounce measure in a manner that isolates the impacts of gold production volumes, the by-product credits, and operating costs fluctuations such that the non-controllable and controllable variability is independently addressed. The Company uses total cash costs: by product per gold ounce to monitor its operating performance internally, including operating cash costs, as well as in its assessment of potential development projects and acquisition targets. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about the Company's underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on the Company's cost structure and is a relevant metric used to understand the Company's operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of gold, the Company includes by-product credits as the Company considers that the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing the Company's management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. |
| |
| The Company reports total cash costs: by-product on a gold ounces sold basis. In the gold mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute Production Cost Standard. The Gold Institute, which ceased operations in 2002, was a non-regulatory body and represented a global group of producers of gold and gold products. The production cost standard developed by the Gold Institute remains the generally accepted standard of reporting cash costs of production by gold mining companies. |
| |
| AISC: |
| |
| AISC include total production cash costs incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of the Company's by-product cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. The measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, therefore expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, dividends and financing costs are also excluded. |
| |
| The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold from current operations, and provides the Company and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information of the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. AISC, as a key performance measure, allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows. This information provides management with the ability to more actively manage capital programs and to make more prudent capital investment decisions. |
| |
| The Company reports AISC on a gold ounces sold basis. This performance measure was adopted as a result of an initiative undertaken within the gold mining industry; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company follows the guidance note released by the World Gold Council, which became effective January 1, 2014. The World Gold Council is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry whose members comprise global senior gold mining companies. |

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the United States Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or in releases made by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, all as may be amended from time to time, and "forward-looking information" under the provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Goldcorp. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the future price of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, targeted cost reductions, capital expenditures, free cash flow, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting and certification time lines, hedging practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, health, safety and diversity initiatives, timing and possible outcome of pending litigation, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" , "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" , "believes", or variations or comparable language of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof. |
| |
| Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Goldcorp to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding Goldcorp's present and future business strategies and the environment in which Goldcorp will operate in the future, including the price of gold, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals. Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, gold price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and mineral resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions (including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability), changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or change in the administration of laws, policies and practices, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Chile or other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future, delays, suspension and technical challenges associated with capital projects, higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables, currency fluctuations, the speculative nature of gold exploration, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, loss of key employees, additional funding requirements and defective title to mineral claims or property. Although Goldcorp believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. |
| |
| Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Goldcorp to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: future prices of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead; mine development and operating risks; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; risks related to international operations, including economic and political instability in foreign jurisdictions in which Goldcorp operates; risks related to current global financial conditions; risks related to joint venture operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; environmental risks; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; risks associated with restructuring and cost-efficiency initiatives; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; risks related to indebtedness and the service of such indebtedness, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business – Risk Factors" in Goldcorp's most recent annual information form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Although Goldcorp has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as otherwise indicated by Goldcorp, these statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any disposition, monetization, merger, acquisition, other business combination or other transaction that may be announced or that may occur after the date hereof. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of Goldcorp's operating environment.
