AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) dated July 31, 2024 of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (the “Second Quarter Financial Statements”) that were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“Annual MD&A”) and annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (“Annual Financial Statements”). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements and this MD&A are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars”, “$” or “US$”) and all units of measurement are expressed using the metric system, unless otherwise specified. Certain information in this MD&A is presented in Canadian dollars (“C$”), Australian dollars (“A$”), or European Union euros (“Euros” or “€”). Additional information relating to the Company is included in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “AIF”). The AIF, Annual MD&A and Annual Financial Statements are available on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ (the “CSA”) SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.ca and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 40-F”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at www.sec.gov/edgar.
Certain statements contained in this MD&A, referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”, constitute “forward-looking information” under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See Forward-Looking Statements in this MD&A.
This MD&A discloses certain financial performance measures, including “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” ​(also referred to as “AISC per ounce”), “minesite costs per tonne”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted net income per share”, “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (also referred to as “EBITDA”), “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (also referred to as “adjusted EBITDA”), “free cash flow”, “free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital”, “sustaining capital expenditures”, “development capital expenditures”, and “operating margin” that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers. Each of “total cash costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” are reported on a per ounce of gold produced basis and, unless otherwise indicated, are reported on a by-product basis (deducting by-product metals revenues from production costs). Minesite costs per tonne is reported on a per tonne of ore milled basis. For a discussion of the composition and usefulness of these measures and reconciliation of each of them to the most directly comparable financial information presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.
This MD&A also contains information as to estimated future total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne 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 below under Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures, 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.
Payable production (a non-GAAP non-financial performance measure) is the quantity of mineral produced during a period contained in products that have been or will be sold by the Company, whether such products are sold during the period or held as inventories at the end of the period.
Unless otherwise stated, references to “LaRonde”, “Canadian Malartic”, “Meadowbank” and “Goldex” are to the Company’s operations at the LaRonde complex, the Canadian Malartic complex, the Meadowbank complex and the Goldex complex, respectively. The LaRonde complex consists of the mill and processing

operations at the LaRonde mine and the LaRonde Zone 5 mine. The Canadian Malartic complex consists of the mill and processing operations at the Canadian Malartic mine and the Odyssey mine. The Meadowbank complex consists of the mill and processing operations at the Meadowbank mine and the Amaruq open pit and underground mines. The Goldex complex consists of the mill and processing operations at the Goldex mine and the Akasaba West open pit mine. References to other operations are to the relevant mines, projects or properties, as applicable.
Meaning of “include” “including” and “such as”: When used in this MD&A the terms “include’, “including” and “such as” mean including and such as, without limitation, as applicable.
Business Overview
Agnico Eagle is a senior Canadian gold mining company that has produced precious metals since its formation in 1972. The Company’s mines are located in Canada, Australia, Mexico and Finland, with exploration and development activities in Canada, Australia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The Company and its shareholders have full exposure to gold prices due to its long-standing policy of no forward gold sales. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.
Agnico Eagle earns a significant proportion of its revenue and cash flow from the production and sale of gold in both dore bar and concentrate form. The remainder of revenue and cash flow is generated by the production and sale of by-product metals, primarily silver, zinc and copper.
Agnico Eagle’s operating mines and development projects are located in what the Company believes to be politically stable countries that are supportive of the mining industry. The political stability of the regions in which Agnico Eagle operates helps to provide confidence in its current and future prospects and profitability. This is important for Agnico Eagle as it believes that many of its current mines and projects have long-term mining potential.
Recent Developments
Repayment of Long-term Debt
On July 24, 2024, Agnico Eagle repaid $100.0 million of its 2012 senior structured notes on maturity. On July 31, 2024, Agnico Eagle repaid $150.0 million of the $600.0 million outstanding on its Term Loan Facility. The remaining indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility is due and payable by April 21, 2025.
Reconciliation Action Plan and 2023 Climate Action Report
On July 10, 2024, the Company released its first Reconciliation Action Plan, reinforcing its commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and communities. In addition, on July 31, 2024, the Company released its 2023 Climate Action Report. In line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and Towards Sustainable Mining Climate Change protocol, the 2023 Climate Action Report outlines how the Company is addressing climate change risks and opportunities.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 1, 2024, the Company received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $500.0 million of its common shares subject to a maximum of 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares. Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase such common shares for cancellation, on the open market at its discretion, during the period commencing May 4, 2024 and ending on May 3, 2025. Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange or other designated exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Under the Company’s prior

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
NCIB which commenced on May 4, 2023 and ended on May 3, 2024, the Company obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 24,718,919 common shares of which 375,000 were purchased through the facilities of the TSX and NYSE at a weighted average price of approximately $52.99 (excluding commissions) per common share.
Additional Investments at Detour Lake Underground and Upper Beaver
The Company has approved investments of $200.0 million and $100.0 million at its Upper Beaver and Detour Lake Underground projects, respectively, to further study and de-risk the projects over approximately three years. At Detour Lake, a 2.0-kilometre exploration ramp will be developed at depth to collect a bulk sample and to facilitate infill and expansion drilling of the current underground mineral resource. At Upper Beaver, an exploration ramp and an exploration shaft will be developed at depth to establish underground drilling platforms and collect bulk samples.
Credit Facility
On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions that provides a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”). On the same day, the Company drew $200.0 million on the New Credit Facility and used the proceeds of such draw to repay the Company’s previous $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”) and the Old Credit Facility was terminated. The New Credit Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on February 12, 2029. Concurrently, the Company’s $600.0 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) was amended to, among other things, align the covenants, including the net debt to EBITDA ratio covenant, and the events of default with those of the New Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Activities”.
Financial and Operating Results
On March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle closed the transaction (the “Yamana Transaction”) with Pan American Silver Corp and Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”) pursuant to which, among other things, Agnico Eagle acquired all of Yamana’s Canadian assets including the 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex that Agnico Eagle did not then hold. Accordingly, contributions from the 100% interest in Canadian Malartic have been included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 while the comparative period reflects the previously held 50% interest in Canadian Malartic up to March 30, 2023.
Operating Results
Agnico Eagle reported net income of $472.0 million, or $0.95 per share, in the second quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $323.7 million, or $0.66 per share, in the second quarter of 2023. The key drivers of the changes in net income are set out in the table below.
Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income1 of $535.3 million, or $1.07 per share1, in the second quarter of 2024, compared with adjusted net income of $319.3 million, or $0.65 per share, in the second quarter of 2023. Agnico Eagle reported EBITDA1 of $1,123.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $883.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
net income of the comparative period is a re-measurement gain of $1,543.4 million recognized in the first six months of 2023, arising from the Yamana Transaction and the corresponding application of purchase accounting relating to a business combination achieved in stages, which requires the re-measurement on acquisition of the Company’s previously held 50% interest in Canadian Malartic to the fair value implied by the subsequent transaction.
Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income of $912.7 million, or $1.83 per share, in the first six months of 2024, compared with adjusted net income of $590.5 million, or $1.23 per share, in the first six months of 2023 primarily due to higher operating margin in the current period. Agnico Eagle reported EBITDA of $2,005.6 million in the first six months of 2024 compared with $3,156.3 million in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to the revaluation gain on the Yamana Transaction in the comparative period, partially offset by higher operating margin in the current period. Adjusted EBITDA increased in the first six months of 2024 to $2,105.5 million compared to $1,625.6 million in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margin in the current period.
In the second quarter of 2024, operating margin1 increased by 33.8% to $1,304.6 million, compared with $974.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a 20.9% increase in revenues from mining operations resulting from an 18.6% higher realized price of gold and higher gold sales volume from Meadowbank and Meliadine, partially offset by lower gold sales volume from Fosterville, LaRonde and La India.
In the first six months of 2024, operating margin increased by 28.4% to $2,350.9 million, compared with $1,831.5 million in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to a 21.0% increase in revenues from mining operations as a result of a 13.8% higher average realized price of gold between periods and higher gold sales volume from Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction, Meadowbank and Meliadine, partially offset by lower gold sales volume from Fosterville and La India.
Gold production increased to 895,838 ounces in the second quarter of 2024 compared with 873,204 ounces in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased production at Meadowbank and Macassa, partially offset by decreased production at Fosterville.
Gold production increased to 1,774,490 ounces in the first six months of 2024, compared with 1,686,017 ounces in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to the additional contribution of gold production from Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction and higher production at Meadowbank, partially offset by lower gold production at Fosterville.
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $961.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $722.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margin, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,744.5 million in the first six months of 2024 compared with $1,371.6 million in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margin, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.
Free cash flow1 increased to $557.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $298.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margin, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods. Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital1 increased to $582.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $269.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, due to higher operating margin in the current period.
Free cash flow increased to $952.8 million in the first six months of 2024 compared with $563.1 million in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to higher operating margin, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods. Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital

Revenues from mining operations increased to $2,076.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared with $1,718.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an 18.6% increase in realized gold prices and higher gold sales volumes at Meadowbank and Meliadine, partially offset by lower gold sales volumes at Fosterville, LaRonde and La India.
Production costs were $772.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, a 3.9% increase compared with $743.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher production costs at Kittila and Macassa, partially offset by lower production costs at LaRonde and La India.
Total cash costs per ounce2 increased to $870 on a by-product basis and $911 on a co-product basis in the second quarter of 2024, compared with $840 on a by-product basis and $870 on a co-product basis in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased costs at the Detour Lake, Macassa, Meliadine and Canadian Malartic.
Amortization of property, plant and mine development decreased by $7.9 million to $378.4 million between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024 as lower amortization at Detour Lake and La India was partially offset by increased amortization from Kittila and LaRonde.
Loss on derivative financial instruments amounted to $19.6 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared with a gain of $26.4 million during the second quarter of 2023 due to unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates between periods.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Other expenses increased to $47.3 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared with $2.8 million during the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased disposals of property, plant and mine equipment.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $238.2 million on income before income and mining taxes of $710.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.5%. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $137.6 million on income before income and mining taxes of $461.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.8%. The increase in the effective tax rate between the second quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023 is primarily due to foreign exchange rate movements.
There are several factors that can significantly affect the Company’s effective tax rate including varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of certain tax assets, mining allowances, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in tax laws, the impact of specific transactions and assessments and the relative distribution of income in the Company’s operating jurisdictions. As a result of these factors, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate significantly in future periods.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenues from mining operations increased to $3,906.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $3,227.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a 13.8% increase in realized gold prices, increased gold sales volume at Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction and higher gold sales volumes at Meadowbank and Meliadine, partially offset by lower gold sales volumes at Fosterville and La India.
Production costs were $1,555.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, an 11.4% increase compared with $1,396.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the increased contribution from Canadian Malartic due to the Yamana Transaction and higher production costs at Detour Lake, Macassa, Kittila and Meliadine partially offset by lower production costs at La India and Meadowbank.
Total cash costs per ounce increased to $885 on a by-product basis and $920 on a co-product basis in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $836 on a by-product basis and $866 on a co-product basis in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increased costs at Detour Lake, Canadian Malartic and Macassa, partially offset by lower costs at Meadowbank and Meliadine.
Amortization of property, plant and mine development increased by $45.3 million to $735.6 million between the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the additional contribution from Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction combined with increased amortization at Macassa, Kittila and Meliadine, partially offset by decreased contribution from Detour Lake and La India.
Finance costs increased to $70.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $59.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the interest incurred on the Company’s $600.0 million Term Loan Facility.
Loss on derivative financial instruments amounted to $65.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with a gain of $33.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods.
Other expenses increased to $59.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increased disposals of property, plant and mine equipment and other costs.
The revaluation gain in the first quarter of 2023 was due to the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held 50% interest in Canadian Malartic to fair value at the close of the Yamana Transaction. The acquisition

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
date fair value of the previously held 50% interest was determined to be $2,697.6 million, resulting in the recognition of a re-measurement gain through net earnings of $1,543.4 million. The fair value of $2,697.6 million reflects the part of the total consideration attributable to Canadian Malartic transferred under the Yamana Transaction.
In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $380.0 million on income before income and mining taxes of $1,199.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $266.2 million on income before income and mining taxes of $2,406.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.1%. The increase in the effective tax rate between the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily due to the increase in income before income and mining taxes during the first six months of 2023 as a result of the non-taxable revaluation gain recorded on the acquisition of Yamana’s interests in its Canadian assets.

Second Quarter of 2024 — Production costs were $36.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 2.8% compared with production costs of $35.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher mining costs as a result increased volume mined, higher royalty costs, partially offset by the timing of inventory sales, the build-up of stockpiles and the weaker Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.
Production costs per tonne decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to a higher volume of ore tonnes milled, partially offset by the cost increases outlined above. Production costs per ounce increased when compared to the prior-year period due to lower gold production in the period partially offset by the weaker Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

Total assets of $29.3 billion as at June 30, 2024, increased by $0.6 billion, compared with total assets of $28.7 billion as at December 31, 2023. The Company’s total assets are primarily comprised of non-current assets such as property, plant and mine development and goodwill. The increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, non-current stockpiles and investments, partially offset by decreases in property, plant and mine development and derivative financial instruments.
Total liabilities of $9.3 billion at June 30, 2024, were consistent with total liabilities at December 31, 2023. The Company’s total liabilities are primarily comprised of non-current liabilities such as deferred income and mining tax liabilities, long-term debt and reclamation provisions.
While the Company occasionally enters into contracts to limit the risk associated with decreased by-product metal prices, increased foreign currency costs (including where used for capital expenditures) and input costs, the contracts act as economic hedges of underlying exposures and are not held for speculative purposes. Agnico Eagle does not use complex derivative contracts to hedge exposures. During the first six months of 2024, the Company put in place currency hedge positions to support its key input costs used in budgeting and mine planning assumptions. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding currency derivative contracts related to $3,309.2 million of 2024, 2025 and 2026 expenditures (December 31, 2023 — $3,324.7 million) and diesel fuel derivative contracts related to 5.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2023 — 15.0 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $922.0 million compared with $338.6 million as at December 31, 2023. The Company’s policy is to invest excess cash in what the Company believes to be highly liquid investments of high credit quality to reduce risks associated with these investments. Investments with remaining maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s decisions regarding the length of maturities it holds are based on cash flow requirements, rates of return and various other factors.
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) decreased to $921.1 million as at June 30, 2024, compared with $1,143.1 million as at December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $640.0 million increase in the current portion of long-term debt, a $63.3 million decrease in inventories, a $62.5 million increase in the fair value of derivative financial instrument liabilities (net of derivative financial instrument assets) and a $47.7 million increase in income taxes payable, partially offset by a $583.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those set in this MD&A and in the Company’s AIF, the Company believes it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations and has adequate cash and debt facilities available to finance its current operations, working capital requirements, contractual obligations, debt maturities, planned capital expenditure and exploration programs. While the Company believes its capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy all its mandatory and discretionary commitments, the Company may choose to decrease certain of its discretionary expenditure commitments, which include certain capital expenditures and exploration and corporate development expenses, should unexpected financial circumstances arise in the future. See “Risk Profile” in this MD&A for further details.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $961.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $722.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher gold sales from Meadowbank and Meliadine, and 18.6% higher realized gold prices in the current period partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,744.5 million in the first six months of 2024 compared with $1,371.6 million in the first six months of 2023 primarily due to higher gold sales volume from Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction and 13.8% higher realized gold prices in the current period, partially offset by less favourable working capital movements between periods.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the second quarter of 2024 of $424.6 million decreased compared to $450.2 million of cash used in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to less capital expenditures and fewer purchases of equity securities between periods.

On February 12, 2024, the Company replaced its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with the $2.0 billion New Credit Facility, which includes an uncommitted accordion feature of $1.0 billion. The New Credit Facility is available in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, or in Canadian dollars through CORRA and prime rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00%. The New Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that varies from 0.60% to 2.00%. The lenders under the New Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.09% to 0.25% of the undrawn portion of the New Credit Facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating. The Company’s subsidiaries are not required to guarantee the payment and performance of its obligations under the New Credit Facility, however the Company must provide guarantees from certain of its subsidiaries if any existing indebtedness of the Company benefits from guarantees and the Company no longer maintains an investment grade credit rating, or if the Company incurs new indebtedness for borrowed money and provides guarantees of such new indebtedness from any of its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting certain actions of the Company and its material subsidiaries, and customary events of default for a borrower with the Company’s credit profile. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.
In the first six months of 2024, the Company drew down and repaid $600.0 million on its Credit Facility. In the first six months of 2023, the Company drew down $1.0 billion on its Old Credit Facility, which was used to finance the cash consideration portion of the Yamana Transaction and repaid $900.0 million of the amount drawn. As at June 30, 2024, the Company’s outstanding balance under the New Credit Facility was nil. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit at that date, which were $24.7 million as at June 30, 2024, resulting in $1,975.3 million available for future drawdown.
The Company has five uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain Canadian financial institutions (the “LC Facilities”). At June 30, 2024, amounts available under these letter of credit facilities are as follows; C$400.0 million, C$320.0 million, C$200.0 million, C$200.0 million and $75.0 million. As at June 30, 2024, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the LC Facilities was $664.5 million. Additionally, the Company has a standby letter of guarantee facility (the “Guarantee Facility”) with a Canadian financial institution providing for a $25.0 million uncommitted letter of guarantee facility. The aggregate undrawn face amount of guarantees under the guarantee facility at June 30, 2024 was $12.0 million.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company has indemnity agreements with three companies for the issuance of surety bonds of which $336.5 million of such surety bonds have been issued under these agreements.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the New Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, the LC Facilities, the Guarantee Facility, and the $1,250.0 million of its guaranteed senior unsecured notes as at June 30, 2024.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Risk Profile
The Company is subject to significant risks, including fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and other risks due to the inherent nature of the business of exploration, development and mining of properties with precious metals. Changes in economic conditions and volatile financial markets may have a significant impact on Agnico Eagle’s cost and availability of financing and overall liquidity. The volatility in gold prices directly affects Agnico Eagle’s revenues, earnings and cash flow. Volatile energy, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact production costs. For a more comprehensive discussion of these and other risks, see “Risk Factors” in the AIF filed on the CSA’s SEDAR website and with the SEC as part of the Form 40-F.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”).
ICFR is a framework designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management has used the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in order to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR.
DC&P form a broader framework designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in securities legislation and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Together, the ICFR and DC&P frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation, is accumulated and communicated in a timely fashion. Due to their inherent limitations, the Company acknowledges that, no matter how well designed, ICFR and DC&P can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and as such may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of ICFR is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
This MD&A presents certain financial performance measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, free cash flow before changes in working capital, total cash costs per ounce (on both a by-product and co-product basis), minesite costs per tonne, all-in sustaining costs per ounce (on both a by-product and co-product basis), operating margin, sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures, that are not recognized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers. Non-GAAP financial performance measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
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, revaluation gains, impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, purchase price allocations to inventory, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, 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 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.
The following table sets out the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

expense, the impact of income and mining taxes on adjusted items, recognition of previously unrecognized capital losses, the result of income and mining taxes audits, impact of tax law changes and adjustments to prior period tax filings.
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, revaluation gains, impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, retroactive payments and purchase price allocations to inventory.
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.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow before Changes in Non-Cash Components of Working Capital
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.

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, operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 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 this 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.
In this MD&A, 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 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, operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 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.

Notes:
(i)
The information set out in this table reflects the Company’s 50% interest in Canadian Malartic up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter, following the closing of the Yamana Transaction.
(ii)
Under the Company’s revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue.
(iii)
This inventory adjustment reflects production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory.
(iv)
On March 31, 2023, the Company closed the Yamana Transaction and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory on Canadian Malartic as part of the purchase price allocation.
(v)
Other adjustments consists of costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect 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 and smelting, refining, and marketing charges to production costs.
(vi)
La India’s cost calculations per tonne for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 excludes approximately $13.0 and $29.0 million of production costs incurred during the period, respectively, following the cessation of mining activities at La India during the fourth quarter of 2023.
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. AISC per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the total cash costs on a co-product basis are used, meaning no adjustment has been 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. In this MD&A , unless otherwise

indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce is reported on a byproduct basis (see “Non-GAAP measures — 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 helpful 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 AISC per ounce 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 of gold produced 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).

Under the Company’s revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue.
(ii)
On March 31, 2023, the Company completed Yamana Transaction and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory on Canadian Malartic as part of the purchase price allocation.
(iii)
Other adjustments consists of in-kind royalties, smelting, refining and marketing charges to production costs.
(iv)
The total cash costs per ounce is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. See “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures — Total Cash Costs per Ounce and Minesite Costs per Tonne” for more information on the Company’s use of total cash cost per ounce.
(v)
Sustaining leases are lease payments related to sustaining assets.
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
39

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
administrative expenses; amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; 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, such as 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, though it should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of operating margin to revenue from operations, see “Summary of Operations Key Performance Indicators”.
Sustaining Capital Expenditures and Development Capital Expenditures
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 factors and assumptions of Agnico Eagle upon which the forward-looking statements in this MD&A are based, and which may prove to be incorrect, include the assumptions set out elsewhere in this MD&A as well as: that there are no significant disruptions affecting Agnico Eagle’s operations, whether due to labour disruptions, supply disruptions, damage to equipment, natural or man-made occurrences, pandemics, mining or milling issues, political changes, title issues, community protests, including by First Nations groups, or otherwise; that permitting, development, expansion and the ramp up of operations at each of Agnico Eagle’s mines, mine development projects and exploration projects proceed on a basis consistent with expectations and that Agnico Eagle does not change its exploration or development plans relating to such projects; that the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar, Euro, Australian dollar, Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar will be approximately consistent with current levels or as set out in this MD&A; that prices for gold, silver, zinc and copper will be consistent with Agnico Eagle’s expectations; that prices for key mining and construction supplies, including labour costs, remain consistent with Agnico Eagle’s expectations; that production meets expectations; that Agnico Eagle’s current estimates of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recoveries are accurate; that there are no material delays in the timing for completion of development projects; that seismic activity at the Company’s operations at LaRonde, Goldex and other properties is as expected by the Company; that the Company’s current plans to optimize production are successful; and that there are no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environments that affect Agnico Eagle; and that governments, the Company or others do not take measures in response to pandemics or otherwise that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Company’s ability to operate its business; that measures taken in connection with pandemics do not affect productivity; that measures taken relating to, or other effects of, pandemics do not affect the Company’s ability to obtain necessary supplies and deliver them to its mine sites.
The forward-looking statements in this MD&A reflect the Company’s views as at the date of this MD&A and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of the Canadian Assets of Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”)
On March 31, 2023, the Company completed a transaction (the “Yamana Transaction”) under an arrangement agreement entered into with Yamana and Pan American Silver Corp. (“Pan American”) pursuant to which Pan American acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Yamana and Yamana sold the subsidiaries and partnerships that held Yamana’s interests in its Canadian assets to Agnico Eagle, including the remaining 50% of Canadian Malartic that the Company did not then hold, a 100% interest in the Wasamac project located in the Abitibi region of Quebec and several other exploration properties located in Ontario and Manitoba. The acquisition increased the Company’s production, mineral reserves and cash flow.
The Company determined that the acquisition represented a business combination under IFRS 3 — Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), with Agnico Eagle identified as the acquirer and, as such, was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3.
Prior to the Yamana Transaction, Agnico Eagle’s 50% interests in CMC and the Partnership were jointly controlled with Yamana and met the definition of a joint operation under IFRS 11 — Joint Arrangements, with Agnico Eagle recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in its consolidated results. As of March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle controlled 100% of CMC and the Partnership and, upon applying the requirements under IFRS 3 for a business combination achieved in stages, the Company re-measured its previously held 50% interest in CMC and the Partnership to fair value on acquisition date. The acquisition date fair value of the previously held 50% interest was determined to be $2,697.6 million, resulting in the recognition of a re-measurement gain through net earnings of $1,543.4 million. The fair value of $2,697.6 million forms part of the total consideration transferred under the Yamana Transaction as reflected in the table below. The fair value of common shares issued was calculated based on 36,177,931 common shares issued at the closing share price immediately prior to the closing of the Yamana Transaction.
The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquired assets, net of the assumed liabilities is as follows:
Fair value of common shares issued
$ 1,858,219
Cash
1,001,291
Fair value of previously held 50% interest
2,697,604
$ 5,557,114
The final estimates of fair value have been adjusted retrospectively to the acquisition date. Certain previously reported financial statement line items were restated to reflect the impact of the adjusted final estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Yamana Transaction.
The following table sets out the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of fair value.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For items that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing their classification at the end of each reporting period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The following table sets out the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at June 30, 2024 using the fair value hierarchy:

There were no changes in the Company’s valuation processes, techniques or types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured and Recognized at Fair Value
Long-term debt is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is presented in Note 10 of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The committed subscription proceeds for the San Nicolás project is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 at amortized cost. The fair value of the San Nicolás liability is determined by discounting the minimum unavoidable obligation under the joint venture shareholders’ agreement between Agnico Eagle and Teck Resources Limited at a discount rate that reflects the Company’s credit rating. The fair value of the San Nicolás liability is not materially different from the carrying amount as a result of the difference between the discount rate used at the initial recognition date and the current market rates at June 30, 2024.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)
Non-current loans receivable and other receivables are included in the other asset line item in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of loans and other receivables is the present value of future cash inflows discounted at a market interest rate. The fair value of these financial assets is not materially different from the carrying amounts as at June 30, 2024 (Note 7B).

Old Credit Facility
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, drawdowns and repayments on the Company’s previous $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”) each totaled $200.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Old Credit Facility drawdowns totaled $1.0 billion and repayments totaled $900.0 million.
On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into the New Credit Facility (as defined below) and terminated the Old Credit Facility.
New Credit Facility
On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into the New Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions that provides the Company a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and includes a $1.0 billion uncommitted accordion facility. The New Credit Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on February 12, 2029. The New Credit Facility is available in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, or in Canadian dollars through CORRA and prime rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00%. The New Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that varies from 0.60% to 2.00%. The lenders under the New Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.09% to 0.25% of the undrawn portion of the New Credit Facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating. The Company’s payment and performance of its obligations under the New Credit Facility are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries, however the Company must provide guarantees from certain of its subsidiaries if any existing indebtedness of the Company benefits from guarantees and the Company no longer maintains an investment grade credit rating, or if the Company incurs new indebtedness for borrowed money and provides guarantees of such new indebtedness from any of its subsidiaries. The New Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting certain actions of the Company and its material subsidiaries, and customary events of default for a borrower with the Company’s credit profile. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, New Credit Facility drawdowns and repayments each totaled $400.0 million. As at June 30, 2024, $1,975.3 million was available for future drawdown under the New Credit Facility. New Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were $24.7 million as at June 30, 2024.
Term Loan Facility
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with two financial institutions that provides a $600.0 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company drew down the Term Loan Facility in full on April 28, 2023. The Term Loan Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on April 21, 2025. The Term Loan Facility is available as a single advance in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s credit rating.

The Term Loan Facility contains covenants that limit the actions of the Company in the same manner and to the same extent as the existing limitations under the New Credit Facility. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value.

Diluted net income per share has been calculated using the treasury stock method. In applying the treasury stock method, outstanding employee stock options with an exercise price greater than the average quoted market price of the common shares for the period outstanding are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the impact would be anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, 1,193,712 (2023 — 2,598,337) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, 1,621,512 (2023 — 2,598,337) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
NCIB
In May 2024, the Company received approval from the TSX to renew its NCIB pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $500.0 million of its common shares up to a maximum of 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares. Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase such common shares for cancellation, on the open market at its discretion, during the period commencing May 4, 2024 and ending on May 3, 2025. Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE or other designated exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 763,043 common shares for $50.0 million at an average price of $65.53 as part of its NCIB program (2023 — nil).

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Currency Risk Management
The Company uses foreign exchange economic hedges to reduce the variability in expected future cash flows arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the US dollar as a significant portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Euro and the Mexican peso. These potential currency fluctuations increase the volatility of, and could have a significant impact on, the Company’s production costs and capital expenditures. The economic hedges relate to a portion of the foreign currency denominated cash outflows arising from foreign currency denominated expenditures.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts related to $3,309.2 million of 2024, 2025 and 2026 expenditures (December 31, 2023 — $3,324.7 million). The Company recognized mark-to-market adjustments in the loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. The Company did not apply hedge accounting to these arrangements.
Mark-to-market gains and losses related to foreign exchange derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models that utilize period-end forward pricing of the applicable foreign currency to calculate fair value.
The Company’s other foreign currency derivative strategies in 2024 and 2023 consisted mainly of writing US dollar call options with short maturities to generate premiums that would, in essence, enhance the spot transaction rate received when exchanging US dollars for foreign currencies. All of these derivative transactions expired prior to period-end such that no derivatives were outstanding as at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The call option premiums were recognized in the loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Commodity Price Risk Management
To mitigate the risks associated with fluctuating diesel fuel prices, the Company uses derivative financial instruments as economic hedges of the price risk on a portion of diesel fuel costs associated primarily with its Canadian operations’ diesel fuel exposure. There

ONGOING LITIGATION
Kirkland
Effective as of February 8, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Kirkland in the Merger. Kirkland had previously disclosed the existence of certain contingent liabilities relating to outstanding litigation matters involving Kirkland and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, some of which were amalgamated as part of a pre-closing corporate reorganization completed in early February 2022. One litigation matter remained outstanding at the time of acquisition as described below.
Kirkland was the defendant in two putative class action complaints filed on June 29, 2020 and July 17, 2020 (and subsequently amended) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The complaints alleged that during the period from January 8, 2018 to November 25, 2019, Kirkland and Kirkland’s former chief executive officer violated the United States securities laws by misrepresenting or failing to disclose material information regarding Kirkland’s acquisition of Detour Gold Corporation, which closed in January 2020.
Following motions filed by both individual complainants, the Court entered an order on September 24, 2020 appointing one lead plaintiff and one lead counsel. On January 22, 2021, Kirkland filed a motion to dismiss. On September 30, 2021, the Court dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims against Kirkland. The parties subsequently carried out documentary and oral discoveries regarding the remaining claims, and the plaintiff filed for class certification in October 2023. The Court issued an order denying plaintiff’s motion for class certification on March 29, 2024. On April 14, 2024, the plaintiff applied to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for permission to appeal this decision. No decision has been rendered yet. Defendants previously filed a motion for summary judgement, and that motion is fully briefed and pending before the Court if the plaintiff’s appeal of the class certification is successful. The Company continues to believe that the claim is without merit.
