Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM) reported Q4 EPS of $0.40, $0.15 better than the analyst estimate of $0.25. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.05 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.88 billion.

“Newmont continued to deliver on its commitments in 2018, generating $2.6 billion in adjusted EBITDA and $805 million in free cash flow, and returning $400 million to shareholders through an industry-leading dividend and share repurchases,” said Gary J. Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer. “This performance gave us the means to complete expansions in the US and Africa, advance projects and exploration on four continents, and pursue an agreement to create the world’s leading gold business as measured by assets, people, prospects and value. Strong operational execution – including more than $600 million in Full Potential sustainable cost and efficiency gains and recognition for leading sustainability practices – was overshadowed, however, by the loss of seven colleagues during the year.”
