Record Free Cash Flow Generation Alongside Capital Discipline Continue to Strengthen Financial Position and Commitment to Shareholder Returns
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $55.2 million when compared to the prior quarter primarily due to higher cash provided by operating activities as a result of higher revenues from higher realized gold prices and favourable changes in non-cash working capital balances, partially offset by higher cash used in financing activities related to $375.0 million repayment of debt, and higher cash used in investing activities from higher capital expenditures and higher purchases of equity securities and other investments.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company's total long-term debt was $1,467.2 million, a reduction of $374.5 million from the second quarter of 2024. On July 24, 2024, $100.0 million was repaid with cash on hand on the 2012 Series B 5.02% Senior Notes on maturity. In addition, a total of $275.0 million was prepaid of the $600.0 million outstanding on the term loan facility during the quarter, further strengthening the Company's investment grade balance sheet. The remaining $325.0 million of indebtedness under the term loan facility is due and payable on April 21, 2025.
No amounts were outstanding under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility as at September 30, 2024, and available liquidity remained at approximately $2.0 billion, not including the uncommitted $1.0 billion accordion feature.
The following table sets out the calculation of net debt, which decreased by $429.7 million when compared to the prior quarter as a result of the debt repayments and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Hedges
Approximately 68% of the Company's remaining estimated Canadian dollar exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price providing protection in respect of exchange rate movements above 1.34 C$/US$. Approximately 26% of the Company's remaining estimated Euro exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price providing protection in respect of exchange rate movements below 1.10 US$/EUR. Approximately 62% of the Company's remaining Australian dollar exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price providing protection in respect of exchange rate movements above 1.46 A$/US$. Approximately 19% of the Company's remaining estimated Mexican peso exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price providing protection in respect of exchange rate movements above 18.00 MXP/US$. The Company's full year 2024 cost guidance is based on assumed exchange rates of 1.34 C$/US$, 1.10 US$/EUR, 1.45 A$/US$ and 16.50 MXP/US$.
With the 2024 sealift at the Company's Nunavut operations largely completed, approximately 42% of the Company's remaining estimated diesel exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average price of $0.76 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes), which is expected to reduce the Company's exposure to diesel price volatility in 2024. The Company's 2024 cost guidance is based on an assumed diesel price of $0.80 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes).
Based on these 2024 hedge positions, the Company expects to continue to benefit from the positive foreign exchange impact on all its operating currencies, as well as the positive impact from diesel exposure when compared to 2024 cost guidance. The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and anticipates continuing to opportunistically add to its operating currency and diesel hedges to strategically support its key input costs for the balance of 2024 and 2025. Hedging positions are not factored into 2024 or future guidance.

Third Quarter 2024 Environment, Social and Governance Highlights
Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects
Highlights on key value drivers, including Odyssey, Detour Lake underground, Hope Bay and San Nicolás are set out below. Details on certain mine expansion projects (Detour Lake mill optimization and Meliadine Phase 2 expansion) are set out in the applicable operational sections of this news release.
Odyssey Project
In the third quarter of 2024, ramp development continued to progress on schedule, and as at September 30, 2024, the main ramp reached a depth of 873 metres. At this depth, it will split into two priority faces: one advancing towards the mid-shaft loading station on level 111 and the other face extending towards the bottom of the orebody. Additionally, the Company continued to develop the main ventilation system, with the fresh air ramp between Odyssey South and East Gouldie completed in the quarter.
In the third quarter of 2024, shaft sinking continued to progress on schedule and, as at September 30, 2024, the shaft reached a depth of 839 metres. During the quarter, the excavation of the temporary loading pocket between levels 60 and 66 was completed, along with the detailed engineering and procurement. The construction team was mobilized and initiated construction at the end of September 2024. The temporary loading station is expected to be commissioned by mid-2025. The design of the mid-shaft loading station between levels 102 and 111 is in progress. This station will include a material handling system for ore and waste, along with support infrastructure, including a maintenance shop. Excavation of the mid-shaft loading station is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2025.
Surface construction progressed on schedule and on budget in the third quarter of 2024, with focus areas including the main hoist building and the operational complex. At the main hoist building, the installation of the electrical components and controls for the service hoist were completed, followed by the testing of the hoist without ropes. Rope installation is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the service hoist is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2025. In the quarter, the construction of the main office and service building commenced, initiating the building foundations. The construction of the main office building is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Exploration drilling at the Odyssey mine and regional exploration drilling around the mine totalled 68,800 metres during the third quarter (145,900 metres during the first nine months of 2024) with up to 11 underground drill rigs and 13 surface drill rigs in operation, primarily targeting the East Gouldie and Odyssey deposits and regional exploration targets in the eastern portion of the property.
Drilling into the lower eastern extension of the East Gouldie mineralized envelope intersected high grade mineralization up to 760 metres east of the current mineral resources, with highlights that included: hole MEX24-316 returning 3.0 g/t gold over 51.5 metres at 1,349 metres depth, including 7.5 g/t gold over 6.1 metres at 1,347 metres depth, and 3.4 g/t gold over 16.6 metres at 1,437 metres depth; hole MEX24-311W returning 5.1 g/t gold over 8.2 metres at 1,455 metres depth; and hole MEX24-311WA returning 4.5 g/t gold over 9.7 metres at 1,497 metres depth.
Drilling into this new portion of the deposit during the first nine months of 2024 has consistently intersected significant gold mineralization, demonstrating the potential to add mineral resources at depth to the east of the main East Gouldie orebody.
In the upper extension of the East Gouldie deposit near the Odyssey shaft and above current mineral resources, underground conversion drilling intersected multiple long intervals of mineralization in an area that extends 500 metres laterally and 400 metres vertically, with highlights that included: hole UGEG-075-007 returning 3.3 g/t gold over 20.8 metres at 814 metres depth, including 8.7 g/t gold over 5.0 metres at 810 metres depth; hole UGEG-075-022 returning 6.2 g/t gold over 7.4 metres at 806 metres depth; and hole UGEG-054-002 returning 4.0 g/t gold over 9.6 metres at 755 metres depth and 4.5 g/t gold over 7.1 metres at 792 metres depth.
Continued conversion drilling success in this area would confirm the potential to add mineral reserves that could provide additional production for the operation that would require modest additional lateral development considering the area's proximity to the existing ramp infrastructure.
At Odyssey North, underground conversion drilling highlights included: hole UGOD-075-007 returning 2.5 g/t gold over 16.5 metres at 906 metres depth; hole UGOD-075-008 returning 1.7 g/t gold over 23.3 metres at 906 metres depth; and hole UGOD-075-006 returning 1.6 g/t gold over 16.0 metres at 947 metres depth. These positive results will assist in positioning future infrastructure in an area with potential development related to the Odyssey internal zones.
At Odyssey South, surface drill holes intersected the Odyssey internal zones, with highlights that included: hole MEX24-318 returning 1.7 g/t over 7.8 metres at 457 metres depth and 7.9 g/t gold over 5.9 metres (core length) at 520 metres depth; hole MEX24-315 returning 4.5 g/t gold over 3.4 metres at 586 metres depth; and hole MEX24-317 returning 6.2 g/t gold over 2.1 metres at 843 metres depth. The results further demonstrate the potential to add new mineral reserves and mineral resources in the Odyssey internal zones that could be brought into production using existing mine infrastructure.
Selected recent drill intercepts from the East Gouldie deposit, Odyssey internal zones and the Odyssey North zone at the Odyssey mine are set out in the table and composite longitudinal section below.

In regional exploration, work has accelerated in the eastern portion of the Canadian Malartic property package with widely-spaced diamond drilling totalling 15,100 metres during the third quarter (41,700 metres during the first nine months of 2024) on the Rand Malartic and Malartic Goldfields properties to investigate favourable mineralized horizons.
Detour Lake
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company advanced the preparation work for the excavation of the exploration ramp portal, which is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025. In the quarter, the access road was completed, the pad that will host the surface infrastructure for the underground project was built and the overburden for the portal was removed. Permitting activities for the advanced exploration phase progressed, with the permit to take water for this initial phase expected to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Exploration drilling at Detour Lake during the third quarter of 2024 totalled 61,900 metres (191,900 metres during the first nine months of 2024), including infill drilling into the high-grade corridor at underground depths in the West Pit zone and infill drilling into the West Extension zone at underground depths immediately west of the West Pit mineral resources and next to the planned exploration ramp for the underground project. These results are expected to strengthen the mineralization model supporting the underground mine project west of and under the open pit at Detour Lake.
The drilling into the high-grade corridor in the West Pit zone further defined the high-grade domains that could potentially be mined earlier in the underground project within the larger lower grade envelope and continued to validate the current geological interpretation of the high-grade corridor, with recent highlights that included: hole DLM24-882CW returning 15.0 g/t gold over 18.9 metres at 573 metres depth; hole DLM24-958C returning 5.8 g/t gold over 7.0 metres at 231 metres depth, 2.6 g/t gold over 35.2 metres at 399 metres depth and 22.5 g/t gold over 12.9 metres at 490 metres depth; hole DLM24-882C returning 3.3 g/t gold over 42.2 metres at 481 metres depth and 9.8 g/t gold over 19.7 metres at 575 metres depth; and hole DLM24-931A returning 6.0 g/t gold over 34.5 metres at 432 metres depth and 2.3 g/t gold over 11.7 metres at 463 metres depth.
Towards the west in the West Pit zone near the planned exploration ramp, highlights included: hole DLM24-978 returning 2.5 g/t gold over 24.6 metres at 169 metres depth; and hole DLM24-829 returning 3.1 g/t gold over 20.3 metres at 277 metres depth.
Drilling into the West Extension zone to the west of current mineral resources further confirmed the grades and continuity of mineralization in the western plunge of the deposit, with highlights that included: hole DLM24-895AW returning 28.8 g/t gold over 3.6 metres at 570 metres depth; and hole DLM24-820 returning 11.7 g/t gold over 3.3 metres at 731 metres depth.

Hope Bay – Infill and Step-Out Drilling Continue to Confirm and Extend Madrid's High-Grade Patch 7 Zone at Depth and Laterally
Exploration drilling at the Hope Bay project during the third quarter totalled 33,100 metres (99,200 metres during the first nine months of 2024) and focused on continued infill and expansion drilling of the Patch 7 zone at the Madrid deposit.
Drilling into the main structure at Patch 7 continued to return wide mineralized intervals with the widest thicknesses and highest gold grades encountered to date at Madrid as well as strong continuity of mineralization between drill holes.
Infill drilling into the main structure at Patch 7 was highlighted by: hole HBM24-248 returning 18.3 g/t gold over 16.4 metres at 479 metres depth; hole HBM24-246 returning 16.8 g/t gold over 27.3 metres at 436 metres depth and 80 metres from hole HBM24-248; and hole HBM24-212 returning 11.9 g/t gold over 30.4 metres at 394 metres depth and 50 metres up-plunge from hole HBM24-246.
Expansion drilling into the upper and lower extensions of the main structure was highlighted by: hole HBM24-232 returning 8.9 g/t gold over 18.4 metres at 289 metres depth, and hole HBM24-211 returning 5.4 g/t gold over 11.2 metres at 577 metres depth, with these two intercepts located 330 metres apart along the moderately north plunging direction of the structure.
Exploration drilling into adjacent, sub-parallel structures was highlighted by: hole HBM24-241 returning 9.0 g/t gold over 10.9 metres at 362 metres depth, and hole HBM24-249 returning 15.0 g/t gold over 3.7 metres at 332 metres depth and 8.4 g/t gold over 26.1 metres at 361 metres depth.

The above results are expected to increase mineral resources and upgrade the mineral resource classification at year-end 2024.
Expansion and infill drilling will continue at Madrid through the fourth quarter 2024 (15,000 metres) and into 2025 with several drill rigs being relocated to the north to investigate the priority targets between the Patch 7 and Suluk zones as a follow-up on previously released hole HBM23-105 that returned 10.0 g/t gold over 14.0 metres at 677 metres depth and hole HBM24-183 that returned 14.1 g/t gold over 5.0 metres at 577 metres depth.
The planned work will be supported by a newly constructed, 2.3-kilometre-long surface exploration track that connects the nearby Madrid-Naartok infrastructure to the Patch 7 area. This surface track provides year-round access the Patch 7 area, allowing drilling to continue during the fourth quarter to accelerate mineral resource expansion and infilling. This track could also be used for potential future development of the Patch 7 area.

San Nicolás Copper Project
The San Nicolás copper-zinc project is located in Zacatecas State in central Mexico. The Company acquired a 50% interest in the project in April 2023 from Teck Resources Limited and the two companies have formed a long-term 50/50 joint venture partnership to advance permitting and development of San Nicolas, which ranks as the largest undeveloped VMS deposit in Mexico and one of the largest undeveloped VMS deposits in the world.
In the third quarter of 2024, Minas de San Nicolás continued engagement with government and stakeholders in support of the permit review. The Minas de San Nicolás team submitted a Supplementary Information Package in response to the regulator's inquiries on their MIA-R permit application on July 5, 2024 and submitted additional information for the change of land use permit application in September 2024. Progress continues on the feasibility study work and execution strategy development, with plans to begin detailed engineering in the first half of 2025. Project approval is expected to follow, subject to receipt of permits and the results of the feasibility study.

Meliadine – Exploration Highlights
Exploration drilling at the Meliadine mine totalled 25,300 metres during the third quarter (79,600 metres during the first nine months of 2024) with three underground drill rigs and up to three surface drill rigs in operation. Building on the positive results of the first quarter, the exploration drilling program for 2024 was increased from 77,700 metres to a planned 103,700 metres. Work accelerated during the second and third quarters and primarily comprised of deep exploration and conversion drilling at the Tiriganiaq and Pump deposits, and infill drilling of inferred mineral resources at the Wesmeg North deposit.
The exploration drift at Tiriganiaq was extended by 289 metres to the west during the first nine months of 2024, providing additional drilling platforms to explore the lateral and depth extensions of the deposit.
Selected recent drill intercepts at the Tiriganiaq, Wesmeg North, Wesmeg and Pump deposits at the Meliadine mine are set out in the table and composite longitudinal section below.

At Tiriganiaq, exploration drilling into the western and eastern extensions of the lower central portion of the deposit produced highlights that included hole ML425-9950-D26 returning 30.5 g/t gold over 5.2 metres at 852 metres depth and 100 metres beyond current mineral resources; and hole ML425-9204-D6 returning 12.8 g/t gold over 5.0 metres at 718 metres depth and 40 metres beyond current mineral resources. Infill drilling at similar depths in the lower central portion was highlighted by hole ML425-9323-D15 returning 15.1 g/t gold over 11.8 metres at 703 metres depth; and hole ML425-9323-D29B returning 11.4 g/t gold over 5.9 metres at 698 metres depth.
These high-grade shoots in the 1000 lode system remain open laterally and down-plunge, demonstrating the potential for further expansion of mineral resources laterally and at depth.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company plans to develop another 120 metres of the remaining 433 metres of exploration drift development at Tiriganiaq.
At Wesmeg North, infill drilling at depth into the high grade shoot in the central corridor was highlighted by hole ML400-9970-D19 returning 14.1 g/t gold over 6.5 metres at 446 metres depth; hole ML400-9970-D25 returning 9.8 g/t gold over 3.8 metres at 389 metres depth; hole ML400-9970-D12 returning 8.0 g/t gold over 9.5 metres at 442 metres depth; and hole ML400-9970-D24 returning 9.0 g/t gold over 8.3 metres at 451 metres depth.
At shallower depths within same high-grade corridor, highlights included: hole M24-3992 returning 20.2 g/t gold over 2.9 metres at 108 metres depth; hole M24-3936 returning 20.4 g/t gold over 3.8 metres at 162 metres depth; hole M24-3938 returning 8.3 g/t gold over 4.7 metres at 174 metres depth; hole M24-3947 returning 7.4 g/t gold over 9.1 metres at 155 metres depth; and hole M24-3948 returning 23.7 g/t gold over 4.5 metres at 196 metres depth.
These infill drilling results at Wesmeg North are of higher grade than historical drilling in these areas and are expected to have a positive impact on the mineral resource estimate at year-end 2024.
Exploration ramp development is expected to begin at the Wesmeg North and Wesmeg deposits towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. New drilling platforms are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2025 to explore Wesmeg North and Wesmeg to the east and at depth, where there is excellent potential for future mineral resources addition.
At the Pump deposit, located approximately one kilometre to the south of Wesmeg, highlights from 2024 include conversion hole M24-3901A returning 7.5 g/t gold over 9.9 metres at 243 metres depth, including 15.9 g/t gold over 2.7 metres at 240 metres depth; and exploration hole M24-3879A returning 7.7 g/t gold over 5.1 metres at 369 metres depth and 6.9 g/t gold over 4.8 metres at 426 metres depth. The results confirm and extend the Pump deposit at relatively shallow depths.

Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance
This news release discloses certain financial performance measures and ratios, including "total cash costs per ounce", "minesite costs per tonne", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" (or "AISC per ounce"), "adjusted net income", "adjusted net income per share", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances per share", "EBITDA" which means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, "adjusted EBITDA", "free cash flow", "free cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital balances", "operating margin", "sustaining capital expenditures", "development capital expenditures" and "net debt", as well as, for certain of these measures their related per share ratios that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers and should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. See below for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information reported in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Total cash costs per ounce and minesite costs per tonne
Total cash costs per ounce is calculated on a per ounce of gold produced basis and is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for by-product revenues, inventory production costs, the impact of purchase price allocation in connection with mergers and acquisitions on inventory accounting, realized gains and losses on hedges of production costs and other adjustments, which include the costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of certain portions of Canadian Malartic, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of Detour Lake, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of Macassa, as well as smelting, refining and marketing charges and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Given the nature of the fair value adjustment on inventory related to mergers and acquisitions and the use of the total cash costs per ounce measures to reflect the cash generating capabilities of the Company's operations, the calculations of total cash costs per ounce for Canadian Malartic has been adjusted for the purchase price allocation in the comparative period data. Investors should note that total cash costs per ounce are not reflective of all cash expenditures, as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. Total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis, except that no adjustment is made for by-product metal revenues. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals.
Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide investors information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to, and believes they are useful to investors so investors can, understand and monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. The Company believes that total cash costs per ounce is useful to help investors understand the costs associated with producing gold and the economics of gold mining. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis measure allows management and investors to assess a mine's cash-generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne as these measures are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.
Agnico Eagle's primary business is gold production and the focus of its current operations and future development is on maximizing returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. Accordingly, all metals other than gold are considered by-products.
Unless otherwise indicated, total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis because (i) the majority of the Company's revenues are from gold, (ii) the Company mines ore, which contains gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all costs to revenues from the gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals the Company produces, (iv) it is a method used by management and the Board of Directors to monitor operations, and (v) many other gold producers disclose similar measures on a by-product rather than a co-product basis.
Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for inventory production costs and other adjustments, and then dividing by tonnage of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce can be affected by fluctuations in by‑product metal prices and foreign exchange rates, management believes that minesite costs per tonne is useful to investors in providing additional information regarding the performance of mining operations, eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. Management is aware, and investors should note, that this per tonne measure of performance can be affected by fluctuations in processing levels. This inherent limitation may be partially mitigated by using this measure in conjunction with production costs and other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce and minesite costs per tonne to production costs, exclusive of amortization, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS.

All-in sustaining costs per ounce
All-in sustaining costs per ounce (also referred to as "AISC per ounce") on a by-product basis is calculated as the aggregate of total cash costs on a by-product basis, sustaining capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration), general and administrative expenses (including stock options), lease payments related to sustaining assets and reclamation expenses, and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. These additional costs reflect the additional expenditures that are required to be made to maintain current production levels. The AISC per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the total cash costs on a co-product basis are used, meaning no adjustment is made for by-product metal revenues. Investors should note that AISC per ounce is not reflective of all cash expenditures as it does not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments, nor does it include non-cash expenditures, such as depreciation and amortization. Unless otherwise indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis (see "Total cash costs per ounce" for a discussion of regarding the Company's use of by-product basis reporting).
Management believes that AISC per ounce is useful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides useful information about operating performance. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and, in the case of AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne as this measure is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company follows the guidance on calculation of AISC per ounce released by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in 2018. The WGC is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry that has worked closely with its member companies to develop guidance in respect of relevant non-GAAP measures. Notwithstanding the Company's adoption of the WGC's guidance, AISC per ounce reported by the Company may not be comparable to data reported by other gold mining companies.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of production costs to all-in sustaining costs per ounce for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metals revenue from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated by adjusting the net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net income for items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, impairment loss charges and reversals and retroactive payments and income and mining taxes adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of the period on a basic and diluted basis.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful to investors in that they allow for the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and in making comparisons between periods. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing income generating capabilities from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which the Company believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses this measure to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income for finance costs, amortization of property, plant and mine development and income and mining tax expense line items as reported in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting the EBITDA calculation for items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, impairment loss charges and reversals and retroactive payments.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the cash generating capability of the Company to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing cash generating capability from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which management believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses these measures to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating capability of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances and cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances per share
Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances and cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances per share are calculated by adjusting the cash provided by operating activities as shown in the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the effects of changes in non-cash working capital balances such as income taxes, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable. The per share amount is calculated by dividing cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances by the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of the period on a basic basis. The Company believes that changes in working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of payments. Management uses these measures to, and believes they are useful to investors so they can, assess the underlying operating cash flow performance and future operating cash flow generating capabilities of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of these measures to the nearest IFRS measure is provided below.
Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital balances
Free cash flow is calculated by deducting additions to property, plant and mine development from the cash provided by operating activities line item as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows.
Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by excluding items such as the effect of changes in non-cash components of working capital from free cash flow, which includes income taxes, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the Company's ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders without relying on external sources of funding. Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital also provide investors with information about the Company's financial position and its ability to generate cash to fund operational and capital requirements as well as return cash to shareholders. Management uses these measures in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating ability of the Company.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows to free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital balances and to cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023.

Operating margin
Operating margin is calculated by deducting production costs from revenue from mining operations. In order to reconcile operating margin to net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company adds the following items to the operating margin: income and mining taxes expense; other expenses (income); care and maintenance expenses; foreign currency translation (gain) loss; environmental remediation costs; gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments; finance costs; general and administrative expenses; amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; and revaluation gain and impairment losses (reversals). The Company believes that operating margin is a useful measure to investors as it reflects the operating performance of its individual mines associated with the ongoing production and sale of gold and by-product metals without allocating Company-wide overhead, including exploration and corporate development expenses, amortization of property, plant and mine development, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, gain and losses on derivative financial instruments, environmental remediation costs, foreign currency translation gains and losses, other expenses and income and mining tax expenses. Management uses this measure internally to plan and forecast future operating results. Management believes this measure is useful to investors as it provides them with additional information about the Company's underlying operating results and should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of operating margin to revenue from mining operations reported in the Company's financial statements, see "Summary of Operations Key Performance Indicators" below.
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures are calculated by deducting working capital adjustments from additions to property, plant and mine development per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows.
Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures incurred during the production phase to sustain and maintain existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production from which the Company will derive economic benefits. Sustaining capital expenditures include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures represent the spending at new projects and/or expenditures at existing operations that are undertaken with the intention to increase production levels or mine life above the current plans. Management uses these measures in the capital allocation process and to assess the effectiveness of its investments. Management believes these measures are useful so investors can assess the purpose and effectiveness of the capital expenditures split between sustaining and development in each reporting period. The classification between sustaining and development capital expenditures does not have a standardized definition in accordance with IFRS and other companies may classify expenditures in a different manner.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures to the additions to property, plant and mine development per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Net debt
Net debt is calculated by adjusting the total of the current portion of long-term debt and non-current long-term debt as recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets for deferred financing costs and cash and cash equivalents. Management believes the measure of net debt is useful to help investors to determine the Company's overall debt position and to evaluate the future debt capacity of the Company.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
This news release also contains information as to estimated future total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce that the Company expects to incur to mine gold at its mines and projects and, consistent with the reconciliation of these actual costs referred to above, do not include production costs attributable to accretion expense and other asset retirement costs, which will vary over time as each project is developed and mined. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measure.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this news release has been prepared as at October 30, 2024. Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and are referred to herein as "forward-looking statements".

Such statements reflect the Company's views as at the date of this news release and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Agnico Eagle as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of the forward-looking statements contained herein, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the assumptions set forth herein and in management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and the Company's Annual Information Form ("AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with Canadian securities regulators and that are included in its Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("Form 40-F") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as well as: that there are no significant disruptions affecting operations; that production, permitting, development, expansion and the ramp-up of operations at each of Agnico Eagle's properties proceeds on a basis consistent with current expectations and plans; that the relevant metal prices, foreign exchange rates and prices for key mining and construction inputs (including labour and electricity) will be consistent with Agnico Eagle's expectations; that Agnico Eagle's current estimates of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and metal recovery are accurate; that there are no material delays in the timing for completion of ongoing growth projects; that seismic activity at the Company's operations at LaRonde, Goldex, Fosterville and other properties is as expected by the Company and that the Company's efforts to mitigate its effect on mining operations, including with respect to community relations, are successful; that the Company's current plans to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are successful; that the Company's current plans to optimize production are successful; that there are no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environment; that governments, the Company or others do not take measures in response to pandemics or other health emergencies or otherwise that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Company's ability to operate its business or its productivity; and that measures taken relating to, or other effects of, pandemics or other health emergencies do not affect the Company's ability to obtain necessary supplies and deliver them to its mine sites. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; uncertainty of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, project development, capital expenditures and other costs; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; inflationary pressures; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs; seismic activity at the Company's operations, including at LaRonde, Goldex and Fosterville; mining risks; community protests, including by Indigenous groups; risks associated with foreign operations; risks associated with joint ventures; governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company's stock price; risks associated with the Company's currency, fuel and by-product metal derivative strategies; the current interest rate environment; the potential for major economies to encounter a slowdown in economic activity or a recession; the potential for increased conflict or hostilities in various regions, including Europe and the Middle East; and the extent and manner of communicable diseases or outbreaks, and measures taken by governments, the Company or others to attempt to mitigate the spread thereof may directly or indirectly affect the Company. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the AIF and MD&A filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and included in the Form 40-F filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the SEC. Other than as required by law, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.
Notes to Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral Resources
The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in this news release have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian securities administrators' (the "CSA") National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
In 2019, the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties were amended to more closely align with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101. However, Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS"), such as the Company, may still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC disclosure requirements when using the SEC's MJDS registration statement and annual report forms. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.
Investors are cautioned that while the SEC recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances.
Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. The Company does not include equivalent gold ounces for by-product metals contained in mineral reserves in its calculation of contained ounces. Mineral reserves are not reported as a subset of mineral resources.
Scientific and Technical Information
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release relating to Nunavut, Quebec and Finland operations has been approved by Dominique Girard, Eng., Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer – Nunavut, Quebec & Europe; relating to Ontario, Australia and Mexico operations has been approved by Natasha Vaz, P.Eng., Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer – Ontario, Australia & Mexico; relating to exploration has been approved by Guy Gosselin, Eng. and P.Geo., Executive Vice-President, Exploration; and relating to mineral reserves and mineral resources has been approved by Dyane Duquette, P.Geo., Vice-President, Mineral Resources Management, each of whom is a "Qualified Person" for the purposes of NI 43-101.
Additional Information
Additional information about each of the Company's material mineral projects as at December 31, 2023, including information regarding data verification, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources and the risks that could materially affect the development of the mineral reserves and mineral resources required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 and paragraphs 3.4(a), (c) and (d) of NI 43-101 can be found in the Company's AIF and MD&A filed on SEDAR+ each of which forms a part of the Company's Form 40-F filed with the SEC on EDGAR and in the following technical reports filed on SEDAR+ in respect of the Company's material mineral properties: Detour Lake Operation, Ontario, Canada, NI 43-101 Technical Report (September 20, 2024); NI 43-101 Technical Report of the LaRonde complex in Québec, Canada (March 24, 2023); NI 43-101 Technical Report Canadian Malartic Mine, Québec, Canada (March 25, 2021); Technical Report on the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at Meadowbank Gold complex including the Amaruq Satellite Mine Development, Nunavut, Canada as at December 31, 2017 (February 14, 2018); the Updated Technical Report on the Meliadine Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada (February 11, 2015).
