Goldcorp Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results
VANCOUVER, Oct. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - GOLDCORP
INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) ("Goldcorp" or the "Company") is pleased to report its third quarter 2018 results.
Third Quarter Highlights
- Net loss was $101
million, or $0.12 per share. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2018 included a non-cash foreign currency translation
loss of $0.04 per share. Operating results were impacted primarily by lower production of all metals at the Peñasquito mine
due to lower throughput and planned lower grades from stockpiles during the commissioning of the now fully constructed Peñasquito
Pyrite Leach Project. Operating cash flows and adjusted operating cash flows(1) for the three months ended September
30, 2018 were $193 million and $171 million, respectively, compared to $315 million and $308 million, respectively, for the three
months ended September 30, 2017.
- Gold production of
503,000 ounces at all-in sustaining costs(1) ("AISC") of $999 per ounce, compared to 633,000 ounces at AISC
of $827 per ounce for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Goldcorp expects gold production and operating costs to improve
substantially in the fourth quarter of 2018 to approximately 620,000 ounces of gold at AISC of approximately $750 per ounce as
substantially all of Peñasquito's production will come from higher grade ore from the main Peñasco pit, and Éléonore
and Cerro Negro continue their ramp ups to optimum production rates.
- Significant project
milestones reached in support of the Company's 20/20/20 growth plan and Beyond 20/20 program. Commissioning of the Peñasquito
Pyrite Leach Project commenced, with first gold and commercial production expected in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Century Gold
Project submitted its Associated Project Description to regulatory authorities in July 2018 and the Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic
Board deemed the Coffee Project adequate in August 2018.
- An additional $30
million of sustainable annual efficiencies identified, bringing the Company closer to reaching its goal of achieving $350 million
of sustainable annual efficiencies by the end of 2019. Building on the momentum from achieving $250 million of the efficiencies
by mid-2018 and identifying the additional $30 million of efficiencies during the third quarter of 2018, work is underway across
Goldcorp's operations to identify the remaining opportunities that are expected to drive the Company towards realizing its 20/20/20
plan.
- Proven and Probable Gold Mineral Reserves are 52.8 Million
Ounces. Goldcorp mineral reserves increased at Musselwhite with the higher-grade extension of PQ Deeps and the addition of
the WEL zone and at Cerro Negro, with an inaugural mineral reserve estimate at the Silica Cap. Overall mineral reserves additions
at Goldcorp-operated sites essentially replaced depletion over the 12-month period.
"Steady project execution in the third
quarter during a transition period at our flagship Peñasquito mine continued a process of de-risking our 20/20/20 production
growth and cost reduction plans. The commissioning of the PLP at Peñasquito, ongoing development of the Materials Handling
system at Musselwhite and the near completion of the ramp up at both Cerro Negro and Éléonore are expected to lead
to significantly improved gold production and costs in the fourth quarter of 2018", said David Garofalo, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Goldcorp. "At the same time, with our renewed focus on exploration, we essentially replaced gold reserve
depletion across our operating assets, establishing a strong foundation to achieve our gold reserve target of 60 million ounces
by 2021."
Goldcorp is also announcing the appointment
of Cristina Bitar to the Company's Board of Directors, effective as of October 24, 2018.
"We are excited about adding Cristina
to our Board of Directors," said Ian Telfer, Chairman of the Board of Goldcorp. "Her experience and knowledge will
benefit the company and shareholders by enhancing the effectiveness of our board with communication, stakeholder management, strategy,
innovation and diversity of thinking."
Mrs. Bitar is a senior partner at Azerta,
one of the leading strategic communication and public affair agency in Chile and Peru where she executes on complex business
crisis, regulatory matters and highly visible media and social issues for corporate clients. She previously founded one of the
most dynamic and fastest growing communication firms in Chile, Captiva, which in 1999 merged with Hill & Knowlton. She has
been elected nine times as one of 100 Leading Women in the country by El Mercurio, a leading Chilean newspaper, and Mujeres Empresarias,
a women's business leadership organization. She was also awarded the Universidad del Pacífico's Women of the XXI Century
recognition, granted to professional women for their contributions in different sectors.
Mrs. Bitar holds a BA in Economics and Sociology
from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Universidad de Chile and Tulane University. She is a Board member of the largest private
pension fund in Chile- AFP Provida, a Metlife Company, she is also a permanent columnist in La Segunda newspaper, a member of the
think tank Public Policy Council Libertad y Desarrollo, and a Founding and Council Member of Comunidad Mujer, an NGO that
promotes women's rights and gender equality. She is also a professor in the Masters in Communications Degree program at
the Universidad Adolfo Ibañez in Santiago, Chile. Since 2008, she has also been a member of the Young Global Leaders organization
at the World Economic Forum.

Footnotes
| 1. | 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 and NuevaUnión |
| 2. | Adjusted operating cash flows are comprised of 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 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.

"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.

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
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.
