Summary
Newmont Corporation filed an 8-K on July 20, 2023, to report a change in its financial reporting segments. This change, effective from the first quarter of 2023, stems from a reassessment of operating strategies and leadership accountabilities in response to volatile market conditions. The company is moving away from its previous five geographic segments (North America, South America, Australia, Africa, and Nevada) to a new structure. This new segment reporting structure will now comprise each of its 12 mining operations and its 38.5% interest in Nevada Gold Mines, which is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The 'Corporate and Other' segment has also been re-aligned to encompass corporate and regional office activities, along with equity method investments not classified as reportable segments. All prior period financial information has been recast to reflect this new segment presentation, which will be incorporated by reference into future SEC filings. This filing specifically updates certain sections of the 2022 Form 10-K related to business, properties, and financial performance, but does not restate the financial statements themselves.
