Hedging Instruments
Hedging instruments consist of foreign currency cash flow hedges and the Cadia PPA. To minimize credit risk, the Company only enters into transactions with counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. The Company believes that the risk of counterparty default is low and its exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has implemented various hedge programs in which fixed forward contracts have been entered into to mitigate variability in the USD-functional cash flows associated with specific expenditures. These fixed forward contracts have been designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges for the related forecasted expenditures and were transacted for risk management purposes. Refer to the table below for a summary of these programs at June 30, 2026:

The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction impacts earnings and is presented in the same statement of operations line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts will be reclassified to earnings immediately. Amounts related to capital expenditures recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Depreciation and amortization after the respective project reaches commercial production. Amounts related to operating expenditures recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales in the period that the operating expenditures are incurred.
Cadia PPA
The Cadia PPA is a 15-year renewable power purchase agreement acquired by the Company through the Newcrest transaction. The Company designated the Cadia PPA as a cash flow hedge to mitigate the variability in cash flows related to approximately 40 percent of forecasted purchases of power at the Cadia mine for a 15-year period beginning in July 2024. Additionally, the Cadia PPA provides the Company with access to large scale generation certificates which the Company intends to surrender to achieve a reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions.
The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction impacts earnings and is presented in the same statement of operations line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings immediately. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales in the period in which the related hedged electricity is purchased, which began in July 2024.
