MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE TO INVESTORS CONCERNING CERTAIN MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
This MD&A discloses certain financial performance measures, including “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “minesite costs per tonne”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted net income per share”, “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. For a reconciliation of these measures 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. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.
The total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (also referred to as total cash costs per ounce) 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). The total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is intended to provide information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company’s mining operations. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) for by-product revenues, inventory production costs, the impact of purchase price allocation in connection to the Merger (as defined below) or acquisitions to 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 the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid respect of the Macassa mine, as well as smelting, refining and marketing charges and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Certain line items such as operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 and realized gains and losses on hedges of production costs were previously classified as “other adjustments” and are now disclosed separately to provide additional detail on the reconciliation, allowing investors to better understand the impacts of such events on the cash operating costs per ounce and minesite costs per tonne. In addition, given the extraordinary nature of the fair value adjustment on inventory related to mergers and acquisitions and the use of the total cash costs per ounce measure to reflect the cash generating capabilities of the Company’s operations, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce for the Detour, Macassa and Fosterville mines have been adjusted for this purchase price allocation in the comparative period data and for the Canadan Malartic complex in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced 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 of gold produced 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. Management uses these measures to, and believes they are helpful 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 gold production 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 of gold produced 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 of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider, these measures in conjunction with minesite costs per tonne as well as other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analysis in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates. 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. These measures also does not include depreciation or amortization.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
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 cost per ounce of gold produced is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced 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 produce (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. Investors should also consider these measures in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce of gold produced (also referred to as all-in sustaining cost per ounce) on a by-product basis is used to reflect the Company’s total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining the Company’s current operations. AISC per ounce 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 of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the AISC per ounce of gold produced 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. 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 of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for this inherent limitations by using these measures in conjunction with minesite costs per tonne as well as other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes AISC per ounce is useful to help investors understand the costs associated with producing gold, assessing operating performance and the ability to generate free cashflow and overall value. 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. This measure also does not include depreciation or amortization. In this MD&A, unless otherwise indicated, AISC per ounce of gold produced is reported on a by-product basis.
The World Gold Council (“WGC”) is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry. Although the WGC is not a mining industry regulatory organization, it has worked closely with its member companies to develop relevant non-GAAP measures. The Company follows the guidance on all-in sustaining costs released by the WGC in November 2018. Adoption of the all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced measure is voluntary and, notwithstanding the Company’s adoption of the WGC’s guidance, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced reported by the Company may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. The Company believes that this measure provides helpful information about operating performance. However, this non-GAAP measure should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS as it is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) 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 of gold produced can be affected by fluctuations in by-product metal prices and foreign exchange rates, management believes that minesite costs per tonne is useful measure for investors as it provides 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
5

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
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 prepared in accordance with IFRS.
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 non-recurring, unusual and other 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 foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, revaluation gain on the Yamana Transaction (defined below), impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, purchase price allocations to inventory, income and mining taxes adjustments as well as other items (which includes changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, self insurance losses, multi-year donations and integration costs). Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful 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 are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses this measure to, and believes it is helpful 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.
Operating margin is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. The Company believes that operating margin is a useful measure that 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). This measure 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; revaluation gains and impairment losses (reversals). Management uses this measure internally for planning purposes and to forecast future operating results. The Company believes that operating margin is a useful measure that 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, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, environmental remediation costs, foreign currency translation gains and losses, care and maintenance expenses, other income and expenses and income and mining tax expenses). This measure is intended to provide investors with additional information about the Company’s underlying operating results and should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.
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 the existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production. This measure includes expenditures on assets so that they retain their existing productive capacity as well as expenditures that enhance
6

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures are expenditures incurred at new projects and expenditures at existing operations that are undertaken with the intention to increase net present value through higher production levels or extensions of 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. Management believes that the distinction between sustaining and development capital expenditures is useful to investors as sustaining capital expenditures are a key component in the calculation of AISC per ounce. While the Company follows the WGC guidance in its classification of capital expenditures into sustaining or development, 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.
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 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.
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.
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
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 2, 2023, 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 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 on May 4, 2023 and ending on May 3, 2024. 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

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Under the Company’s prior NCIB which commenced on May 4, 2022 and ended on May 5, 2023, the Company obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 22,785,308 common shares of which 1,669,620 were purchased through the facilities of the TSX and NYSE at a weighted-average price of approximately $44.70 (excluding commissions) per common share.
Term Loan Facility
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions that provides a $600 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company drew down the full amount of the Term Loan Facility 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“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. Payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by certain of its material subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, each an “Obligor”).
The Term Loan Facility contains covenants that limit the actions of an Obligor in the same manner and to the same extent as the Obligors are limited under the Company’s $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to EBITDA ratio below a specified maximum value. The events of default under the Term Loan Facility are the same as the events of default under the Credit Facility.
San Nicolás Copper-Zinc Project Joint Arrangement
On April 6, 2023, Agnico Eagle and Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) entered into a shareholders agreement in respect of the San Nicolás copper-zinc development project located in Zacatecas, Mexico. The agreement provides that Agnico Eagle, through a wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, will subscribe for a 50% interest in Minas de San Nicolás, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MSN”) for $580.0 million, to be contributed as study and development costs are incurred by MSN. For governance purposes, the agreement treats Agnico Eagle as a 50% shareholder of MSN regardless of the number of shares that have been issued to Agnico Eagle or its affiliates, except in certain circumstances of default. On closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a $290.0 million liability, representing the minimum unavoidable funding obligation of the Company under the agreement, and recognized a corresponding investment in the joint arrangement of $290.0 million. MSN is planning to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment and permit application for the San Nicolás project in 2023 and is targeting completion of a feasibility study in 2024.
Acquisition of the Canadian Assets of Yamana
On March 31, 2023, the Company completed a transaction (the “Yamana Transaction”) under an arrangement agreement with Yamana Gold Inc. (“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 the Canadian Malartic complex, 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 consideration paid by the Company in the Yamana Transaction consisted of approximately US$1.0 billion in cash and 36,177,931 common shares of Agnico Eagle. The acquisition increased the Company’s production, mineral reserves and cash flow. The results of operations, cash flows and net assets of the Canadian assets of Yamana have been consolidated with those of the Company from March 31, 2023. The fair value of Agnico Eagle’s previously held 50% interest in Malartic and the resulting gain on remeasurement along with the fair values allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, and are subject to adjustment based on further analysis and evaluation over the course of the measurement period which will not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.

Impact on Operations from Ongoing Wildfires in Quebec and Caribou Migration in Nunavut
In June 2023, the Company’s operations in Quebec and Ontario were affected by wildfires in the region. High levels of smoke from the wildfires caused poor air quality and low visibility, as well as two significant power outages disrupting regular activities. Through that period, the Company monitored in real time the air quality in its underground operations to ensure the safety of the workers. Several shifts at the Company’s Quebec and Ontario operations were cancelled, affecting mostly underground activities. Ore stockpiles were leveraged to sustain mill operations and lessen the overall impact on production. The Company has continued to actively manage the situation and prioritize the safety and well-being of its people. Despite the downtime the operations in Ontario and Quebec continued to perform.
In Nunavut the Company experienced the earliest and longest caribou migration since it began operations in the region. Caribou migration impacted operations at both divisions during the quarter with higher-than planned surface and UG operations stoppage. Given the unpredictability of the seasonal migration, the Company continues to work with government and local stakeholders to ensure that mining activities have a minimal impact on caribou migration.
Financial and Operating Results
On March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle completed the Yamana Transaction. Accordingly, contributions from the 100% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex have been included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, while the comparative period reflects the previously held 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to March 30, 2023.
On February 8, 2022, Agnico Eagle completed a merger of equals (the “Merger”) with Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. (“Kirkland”). Accordingly, the contributions from the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines have been included in the comparative period from February 8, 2022.
Operating results
Agnico Eagle reported net income of $326.8 million, or $0.66 per share, in the second quarter of 2023, compared with net income of $290.4 million, or $0.64 per share, in the second quarter of 2022. Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income1 of $322.4 million, or $0.65 per share1, in the second quarter of 2023 compared with adjusted net income of $361.7 million, or $0.79 per share, in the second quarter of 2022. The key drivers of the changes in net income and adjusted net income, are set out in the table below.
In the second quarter of 2023, operating margin2 increased by 5.6% to $974.9 million, compared with $923.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to a 8.7% increase in revenues from mining operations as a result of higher gold sales volume from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, higher gold sales volumes from the LaRonde complex (which includes the LaRonde mine and the LaRonde Zone 5 mine) and the Meadowbank complex and higher gold prices, partially offset by lower gold sales volume from the Detour, Meliadine and Kittila mines.
Gold production increased to 873,204 ounces in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 858,170 ounces in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the contribution of gold production from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction. Partially offsetting the increase in gold production was decreased gold production at the Detour and Kittila mines and the LaRonde complex.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $722.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with $633.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased gold sales from full ownership of the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, and higher realized gold prices between periods.
Agnico Eagle reported net income of $2,143.7 million or $4.45 per share, in the first six months of 2023, compared with net income of $409.5 million or $0.97 per share, in the first six months of 2022. Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income of $593.7 million, or $1.23 per share, in the first six months of 2023, compared with adjusted net income of $606.6 million, or $1.44 per share, in the first six months of 2022. Included in net income 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 the Canadian Malartic complex to fair value.
In the first six months of 2023, operating margin increased to $1,831.5 million, compared with $1,587.4 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to an 11.0% increase in revenues from mining operations as a result of the contribution of gold sales volume from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, the Meadowbank complex and the Macassa mine and a 3.4% higher average realized price of gold between periods, partially offset by lower gold sales volumes from the Fosterville mine and the LaRonde and Meliadine complexes.
Gold production increased to 1,686,017 ounces in the first six months of 2023, compared with 1,518,774 ounces in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to the contribution of gold production from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction and higher production at the Meadowbank complex, and the Detour and Macassa mines. Partially offsetting the overall increase in gold production between the first six months of 2023 and the first six months of 2022 was decreased gold production at the LaRonde complex and the La India mine.
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,371.6 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with $1,140.7 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to higher realized gold prices, an increase in gold production at the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction and non-recurring transaction costs in 2022 associated with the Merger.
The table below sets out variances in the key drivers of net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2022:

Revenues from mining operations increased to $1,718.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $1,581.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to a 2.7% increase in the gold sales volume from the contribution of the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes and a 5.8% increase in the realized gold sales price.
Production costs were $743.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 13.0% increase compared with $657.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex and the recognition in 2023 of fair value adjustments to inventory due to the Yamana Transaction with no comparable adjustment in 2022 and higher production costs at the LaRonde complex, partially offset by lower production costs at the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines mainly due to the recognition, in the 2022 comparative period, of fair value adjustments to inventory at those mines with no such recognition occurring in 2023.
Weighted average total cash costs per ounce of gold produced3 increased to $840 on a by-product basis and $870 on a co-product basis in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $726 on a by-product basis and $758 on a co-product basis in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the contributions from the Detour Lake, Macassa and Meliadine mines and the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes. For a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues) to production costs as set out in the Second Quarter Financial Statements, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures below.
Exploration and corporate development expenses decreased to $54.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $70.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower expenses incurred at regional exploration targets in Canada and Mexico.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Amortization of property, plant and mine development increased by $111.4 million to $381.3 million between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex and the amortization of purchase price allocation to property, plant and mine development to the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction.
Finance costs increased to $35.8 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared with $21.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 due to interest incurred on the Company’s revolving credit facility and the $600.0 million Term Loan Facility in the second quarter of 2023. The drawdowns were incurred to finance the Yamana Transaction.
Gain on derivative financial instruments amounted to $26.4 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared with a loss of $40.8 million during the second quarter of 2022 due to favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods. The Company recognized an unrealized gain on currency and commodity derivatives of $50.1 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared to an unrealized loss of $33.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 due to favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods. The unrealized loss on warrants amounted to $7.0 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared to an unrealized loss of $21.1 million during the second quarter of 2022, with the change due to an increase in the market value of warrants between periods.
Other expenses decreased to $2.8 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared with $19.6 million during the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to non-recurring transaction and severance costs associated with the Merger in 2022.
During the second quarter of 2023 there was a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $4.0 million primarily attributable to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar to the US dollar as at June 30, 2023, compared to March 31, 2023, on the Company’s net monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A non-cash foreign currency translation gain of $13.5 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2022.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $139.5 million on income before income and mining taxes of $466.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.9%. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $166.5 million on income before income and mining taxes of $456.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.4%. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022 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, 2023 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenues from mining operations increased to $3,227.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $2,906.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a 7.6% increase in the sales volume from the contribution of gold sales from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction and a 3.4% higher average realized price of gold between periods, partially offset by lower gold sales volumes from the LaRonde complex and the Fosterville and Meliadine mines.
Production costs increased to $1,396.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $1,319.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex and the recognition in 2023 of fair value adjustments to the Yamana Transaction with no comparable adjustments in 2022 and higher production costs at the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes,

partially offset by lower production costs at the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines mainly due to the recognition, in the 2022 comparative period, of fair value adjustments to inventory at those mines with no comparative in 2023.
Weighted average total cash costs per ounce of gold produced increased to $836 on a by-product basis and increased to $866 on a co-product basis during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $763 on a by-product basis and $800 on a co-product basis during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product and co-product basis is primarily due to the contribution from the Detour Lake, Meliadine and Fosterville mines and the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes.
Exploration and corporate development expenses decreased to $108.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $136.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to lower expenses incurred at regional exploration targets in Canada and Mexico.
Amortization of property, plant and mine development increased by $159.7 million to $685.2 million between the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the additional contribution from the Canadian Malartic complex and the amortization of purchase price allocation to property,plant and mine development to the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction.
General and administrative expense decreased to $95.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $116.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to non-recurring costs attributable to the Merger in 2022.
Finance costs increased to $59.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with $43.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to interest incurred on drawdowns of the Company’s revolving credit facility and the $600.0 million Term Loan Facility between periods. The drawdowns were incurred to finance the Yamana Transaction.
Gain on derivative financial instruments amounted to $33.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with a loss on derivative financial instruments of $12.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods. The increase in the market value of warrants resulted in an unrealized loss of $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $20.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The unrealized gain on currency and commodity derivatives amounted to $66.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by a realized loss of $30.8 million on currency and commodity derivatives due to favourable movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices between periods.
Revaluation gain was due to the re-measurement of the Company’s previously held 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex to fair value at the close of the Yamana Transaction. 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 in the quarter of $1,543.4 million. The fair value of $2,697.6 million forms part of the total consideration of $5,557.1 million transferred under the Yamana Transaction.
Other expenses decreased to $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $109.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to non-recurring transaction and severance costs associated with the Merger in 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $4.2 million primarily attributable to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and Euro relative to the US dollar as at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022 on the Company’s net monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A non-cash foreign currency translation gain of $12.3 million was recorded during the first six months of 2022.

Gold production increased by 31.6% to 205,885 ounces in the first six months of 2023 compared with 156,463 ounces in the first six months of 2022 at the Meadowbank complex, due to higher volume of ore tonnes processed and gold grades. In mid-January 2022, the mine had returned to normal operating levels after the Company had focused on production and reduced the level of some supporting activities, including underground development, in response to an outbreak of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in December 2021, which affected the mining sequence. Production costs at the Meadowbank complex were $247.5 million in the first six months of 2023, an increase of 21.3% compared with production costs of $204.1 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to higher mining and fuel and logistics costs, partially offset by a build up in stockpiles, a decrease in deferred stripping costs, and the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.
Commercial production was achieved at the Amaruq underground project in August 2022.
Fosterville mine
At the Fosterville mine, gold production decreased by 4.9% to 81,813 ounces in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 86,065 ounces in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower grade from mining sequencing, partially offset by higher tonnage. Production costs were $35.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 25.8% compared with production costs of $48.3 million in the second quarter of 2022,

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
primarily due to fair value adjustments to inventory on the purchase price allocation recognized in the second quarter of 2022, with no comparative recognition occurring in 2023.
Gold production at the Fosterville mine increased by 0.3% to 168,371 ounces in the first six months of 2023, compared with 167,892 ounces in the first six months of 2022, as the merger was completed on February 8, 2022, the comparative period only includes production from the period of February 8, 2022 to June 30, 2022. Production costs were $72.4 million in the first six months of 2023, a decrease of 46.9% compared to production costs of $136.3 million during the first six months of 2022, primarily due to fair value adjustments to inventory on the purchase price allocation recognized in the six months of 2022, with no comparative recognition occurring in 2023, variance is also impacted by the comparative period only including costs from February 8, 2022 to June 30, 2022.
On May 29, 2023 the Victorian EPA lifted the prohibition notice on Fosterville that was imposed in late 2021, allowing the Fosterville mine to resume normal roster patterns and activities throughout the month of June.
Kittila mine
At the Kittila mine, gold production decreased by 22.7% to 50,130 ounces in the second quarter of 2023, compared with 64,814 ounces in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to fewer tonnes of ore processed, partially offset by higher gold grades. Production costs at the Kittila mine were $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 18.7% compared with production costs of $53.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the consumption of stockpiles and timing of inventory sales, partially offset by higher milling costs.
Gold production increased by 3.2% to 113,822 ounces in the first six months of 2023, compared with 110,322 ounces in the first six months of 2022 at the Kittila mine, primarily due higher gold grades and recoveries, partially offset by lower ore tonnes processed. Production costs at the Kittila mine were $96.6 million in the first six months of 2023, a decrease of 6.0% compared with production costs of $102.8 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to the build up of stockpiles and timing of inventory sales, partially offset by higher milling costs.
In 2020, the Regional State Administrative Agency of Northern Finland granted Agnico Eagle Finland Oy (“Agnico Finland”) environmental and water permits that would allow Agnico Finland to enlarge the CIL2 tailings storage facility, expand the operations of the Kittila mine to 2.0 Mtpa and build a new discharge waterline. The permits were subsequently appealed to the Vaasa Administrative Court in Finland. The appeals were granted, in part, in July 2022 with the result that the permits were returned for reconsideration by the Regional State Administrative Agency of Northern Finland.
In August 2022, Agnico Finland appealed the decisions of the Vaasa Administrative Court to the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland (“SAC”) and requested that the SAC restore the permits through an interim decision pending the ultimate result of the appeal.
On November 1, 2022, the SAC issued an interim decision upholding the initial CIL2 tailings storage facility permit and restoring nitrogen emission permit levels for the year 2022. However, the SAC interim decision did not uphold the permit for the expansion of the mine to 2.0 Mtpa. The VAC decision is valid until a final decision is issued by the SAC. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Agnico Finland reduced its underground production levels to comply with the mining volume requirements. Agnico Finland now expects a final decision from the SAC in the third quarter of 2023. Until then, the Company continues to operate on the current mining permit of 1.6 Mtpa while maintaining operational flexibility to reach the 2.0 Mtpa volume in the event of a positive decision by the SAC.
If the SAC does not reinstate Agnico Finland’s permits as granted by the RSAA in 2020 to produce at, or close to, 2.0 Mtpa, the Company would be required to scale back operations during the fourth quarter of 2023 to remain within the permitted rate and intends to submit an updated permit application for 2.0 Mtpa output level or higher.

Pinos Altos mine
At the Pinos Altos mine, gold production decreased by 3.7% to 22,159 ounces in the second quarter of 2023, compared with 23,020 ounces in the second quarter of 2022, due to lower gold grades and recoveries, partially offset by higher tonnes of ore processed. Production costs at the Pinos Altos mine were $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 13.0% compared with production costs of $39.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the timing of inventory sales and lower underground mining costs, partially offset by higher milling costs and the strengthening of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
Gold production decreased by 3.9% to 46,293 ounces in the first six months of 2023, compared with 48,190 ounces in the first six months of 2022 at the Pinos Altos mine, primarily due to lower gold grades, partially offset by higher tonnes of ore processed. Production costs at the Pinos Altos mine were $67.6 million in the first six months of 2023, a decrease of 6.6% compared with production costs of $72.4 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to the timing of inventory sales, partially offset by higher milling costs and the strengthening of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
La India mine
At the La India mine, gold production decreased by 10.9% to 17,833 ounces in the second quarter of 2023, compared with 20,016 ounces in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to fewer tonnes of ore processed, partially offset by higher gold grades. Production costs at the La India mine were $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 35.5% compared with production costs of $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by consumption of heap leach ore stockpiles and the strengthening of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
Gold production decreased by 18.1% to 34,154 ounces in the first six months of 2023, compared with 41,718 ounces in the first six months of 2022 at the La India mine, primarily due to fewer tonnes of ore processed, partially offset by higher gold grades. Production costs at the La India mine were $43.7 million in the first six months of 2023, an increase of 24.3% compared with production costs of $35.2 million in the first six months of 2022, driven primarily by consumption of heap leach ore stockpiles and the strengthening of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets of $29.3 billion at June 30, 2023, increased by 24.8%, or $5.8 billion, compared with total assets of $23.5 billion as at December 31, 2022, primarily due to the assets acquired in the Yamana Transaction. Cash and cash equivalents of $432.5 million at June 30, 2023, decreased by $226.1 million compared with December 31, 2022, primarily due to cash outflows associated with the Yamana Transaction and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by stronger cash inflows from operating activities between periods. Inventories increased by $44.0 million from $1,209.1 million at December 31, 2022, to $1,253.1 million at June 30, 2023, primarily due to inventories acquired through the Yamana Transaction, partially offset by seasonal consumption of fuel inventory in Nunavut. Other current assets of $373.0 million at June 30, 2023, increased by $113.0 million compared with other current assets of $260.0 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $79.0 million increase in prepaid expenses at Canadian Malartic following the Yamana Transaction the start of the sealift season in Nunavut and a $36.9 million increase in current taxes recoverable. Other non-current assets increased by $583.6 million between December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, primarily due to the $290.0 million investment in the San Nicolas copper-zinc project and a $261.1 million increase in long-term stockpiles between periods.
The increase in property, plant and mine development from $18.5 billion at December 31, 2022, to $21.2 billion at June 30, 2023, was primarily due to the inclusion of assets acquired as part of the Yamana Transaction and additions capitalized to property, plant and mine development of $861.1 million, partially offset by an increase

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
in amortization of $685.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Goodwill increased from $2,044.1 million at December 31, 2022, to $4,574.8 million at June 30, 2023 due to the addition of goodwill in the preliminary purchase price allocation associated with the Yamana Transaction. The fair values allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the purchase price for the Yamana Transaction are preliminary and are subject to adjustment based on further analysis and evaluation over the course of the measurement period which may not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.
Total liabilities of $9,358.4 million at June 30, 2023, increased by $2,105.0 million from $7,253.5 million at December 31, 2022. Net deferred income and mining tax liabilities increased by $945.3 million between December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, primarily due to the addition of net deferred income and mining tax liabilities from the acquisition of Yamana’s interests in its Canadian assets. Long-term debt increased by $699.9 million due to $100.0 million in net drawdowns on the Company’s Credit Facility. On April 28 2023, the Company drew down $600.0 million on a Term Loan Facility to repay amounts previously drawn on its Credit Facility. Other liabilities of $359.6 million at June 30, 2023, increased by $287.0 million from $72.6 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $268.1 million liability incurred related to funding the San Nicolas project. Non-current reclamation provisions increased by $108.5 million between December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, primarily due to the additional reclamation provision acquired as part of the Yamana Transaction. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $134.2 million between December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, primarily due to the timing of payments. Net income taxes payable increased by $76.1 million between December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, as a result of the current tax expense exceeding the payments made to tax authorities.
While the Company occasionally enters into contracts to limit the risk associated with decreased by-product metal prices, increased foreign currency costs (including 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 2023, 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, 2023, the Company had outstanding currency derivative contracts related to $2,134.9 million of 2023 and 2024 expenditures (December 31, 2022 — $2,907.9 million) and diesel fuel derivative contracts related to 17.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2022 — 19.0 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $432.5 million compared with $658.6 million as at December 31, 2022. 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. Such investments with remaining maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time of purchase are classified as short-term 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 $1,103.3 million as at June 30, 2023, compared with $1,233.6 million as at December 31, 2022, primarily due a $226.1 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $134.2 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $113.0 million in other current assets and a $100.0 million decrease in the current portion of long-term debt.
On April 7, 2023, Moody’s upgraded its credit rating outlook for the Company to “positive” from “stable”, while affirming the credit rating at Baa2. On June 20, 2023, Fitch Ratings affirmed its credit rating for Agnico Eagle at BBB+ with a Stable Outlook. These investment grade credit ratings reflect the Company’s strong business and credit profile, while maintaining low leverage and conservative financial policies and recognizing the benefits of the Company's size and scale and operations in favorable mining jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
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.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $722.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with $633.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher gold sales volume from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, a 5.8% higher realized gold price and more favourable working capital movements between periods. This was partially offset by lower gold sales volume from the Meliadine, Detour and Kittila mines along with higher production costs in the current period.
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,371.6 million in the first six months of 2023 compared with $1,140.7 million in the first six months of 2022 primarily due to higher gold sales volume from the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction, higher gold sales from the Meadowbank complex and the Macassa mine and 3.4% higher realized gold prices in the current period. Contributing to the increase in cash from operating activities were reductions in other expenses, exploration and general and administrative expenses in the current period.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the second quarter of 2023 increased to $450.2 million compared with $394.1 million cash used in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to $40.0 million in non-recurring proceeds from a loan repayment in 2022 and $15.0 million in additional capital expenditures between periods. The increase in capital expenditures between periods is primarily attributable to expenditures at the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company purchased $29.4 million in equity securities and other investments compared with $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s equity securities and other investments consist primarily of investments in common shares and share purchase warrants of entities in the mining industry.
Cash used in investing activities increased to $1,848.9 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with cash provided by investing activities of $141.5 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to $1,000.6 million in net cash consideration paid by the Company in the Yamana Transaction, $838.7 million in non-recurring cash acquired in 2022 due to the Merger and an increase of $106.8 million in capital expenditures between periods. The increase in capital expenditures between periods is primarily attributable to the increases at the Canadian Malartic complex following the Yamana Transaction and additions at the Meadowbank complex and the Detour mine.
In the first six months of 2023, the Company purchased $44.2 million in equity securities and other investments compared with $31.9 million in the first six months of 2022.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities increased to $582.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $294.3 million used in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to a $900.0 million repayment of the Credit

Facility used to finance the Yamana Transaction. The credit facility repayment was partially funded by $599.0 million in net proceeds received from the Term Loan Facility.
The Company issued common shares for net proceeds of $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, attributable to employee stock option plan exercises and issuances under the incentive share purchase plan and the dividend reinvestment plan.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the NCIB. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 453,000 common shares for $22.3 million at an average price of $49.13 under the NCIB.
Cash provided by financing activities increased to $254.1 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with cash used by financing activities of $462.2 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily due to $599.0 million in net proceeds received from the Term Loan Facility that were used to partially repay the Credit Facility following the Yamana Transaction, $100.0 million in net proceeds from the Credit Facility and a reduction of $25.0 million in senior note repayments between periods.
The Company issued common shares for net proceeds of $37.0 million in the first six months of 2023, compared with $34.4 million in the first six months of 2022, attributable to employee stock option plan exercises and issuances under the incentive share purchase plan and the dividend reinvestment plan.
During the first six months of 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 common shares for $4.8 million at an average price of $47.74 under the NCIB. During the first six months of 2022, the Company repurchased 453,000 common shares for $22.3 million at an average price of $49.13 under the NCIB.
On April 27, 2023, Agnico Eagle declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share paid on June 15, 2023 to holders of record of the common shares of the Company as of June 1, 2023. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company paid dividends of $165.3 million compared to $149.8 million paid in the second quarter of 2022. In the first six months of 2023, the Company paid dividends of $321.4 million, an increase of $16.8 million compared to $304.6 million paid in the first six months of 2022. Although the Company expects to continue paying dividends, future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be subject to factors such as income, financial condition and capital requirements.
In the first six months of 2023, the Company drew down $1.0 billion on its Credit Facility to finance the cash consideration portion of the Yamana Transaction and repaid $900.0 million of the amount drawn. The repayment was partially funded by a $600.0 million drawdown on the Company’s Term Loan Facility. In the first six months of 2022, the Company drew down and repaid $100.0 million from the Credit Facility primarily to facilitate operating requirements. As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $100.0 million. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit at that date, which were $1.0 million as at June 30, 2023, resulting in $1,099.0 million available for future drawdown.
The Company has five uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain financial institutions (the “LC Facilities”). At June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the LC Facilities was $715.6 million. Additionally, the company has a standby letter of guarantee facility (the “Guarantee Facility”) with a 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, 2023 was $12.5 million.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, the LC Facilities, the Guarantee Facility, and the $1,250.0 million of guaranteed senior unsecured notes as at June 30, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
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, silver, zinc and copper prices directly affects Agnico Eagle’s revenues, earnings and cash flow. Volatile energy, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact production costs. The Company is subject to risks related to pandemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases such as COVID-19, as well as the economic impacts that result therefrom. 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, 2023 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, total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (on both a by-product and co-product basis), minesite costs per tonne, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced (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

Notes:
(i)
The Company finalized the purchase price allocation of Kirkland during the year ended December 31, 2022 and adjustments were made retrospectively back to the acquisition date of February 8, 2022 and the comparative amounts above have been adjusted accordingly. For more information please see Note 5 in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
(ii)
As part of the purchase price allocation in a business combination, the Company is required to determine the fair value of net assets acquired. The fair value of inventory acquired is estimated based on the selling cost less costs to be incurred plus a profit margin on those costs resulting in a fair value increase to the carrying value of inventories acquired. The revalued inventory sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in additional production costs of approximately $22.8 million ($13.7 million after tax). The revalued inventory sold during the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in additional production costs of approximately $39.2 million ($27.1 million after tax) and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulted in additional production costs of approximately $152.8 million ($105.9 million after tax). These non-cash fair value adjustments which increased the cost of inventory sold during the period and are not representative of ongoing operations, were normalized from net income per share.
(iii)
Income and mining taxes adjustments reflect items such as foreign currency translation recorded to the income and mining taxes 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.

Notes:
(i)
The information set out in this table reflects the Company’s 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter.
(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 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.
(iii)
This adjustment reflects the costs associated with the temporary suspension of mining activities at the Company’s mine sites in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and includes primarily payroll and other incidental costs associated with maintaining the sites and properties, and payroll costs associated with employees who were not working during the period of reduced or suspended operations. These expenses also include payroll costs of employees who could not work following the period of temporary suspension or reduced operations due to the Company’s effort to prevent or curtail community transmission of COVID-19. These costs were previously classified as “other adjustments” and have now been disclosed separately to provide additional detail on the reconciliation, allowing investors to better understand the impact of such events on the total cash costs per ounce and minesite cost per tonne.
(iv)
On February 8, 2022, the Company completed the Merger and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory at the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines as part of the purchase price allocation. On March 31, 2023, the Company completed Yamana Transaction and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory on Canadian Malartic complex as part of the purchase price allocation.

(v)
Other adjustments consists of costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Macassa mine, smelting, refining, and marketing charges to production costs.
(vi)
The Creston Mascota mine’s cost calculations per tonne for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 excludes approximately $0.5 and $1.1 million of production costs, incurred during the period, respectively, following the ceasing of mining activities at the Bravo pit during the third quarter of 2020.
All-in Sustaining Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced
Refer to Note to Investors Concerning Certain Measures of Performance in this MD&A for details on the composition, usefulness and other information regarding the Company’s disclosure of the non-GAAP measure all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of production costs to the Company’s use of the non-GAAP measure all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).

2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
A)
Statement of Compliance
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Agnico Eagle have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) in United States (“US”) dollars. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual audited consolidated financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Annual Report and Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
In the opinion of management, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
B)
Basis of Presentation
Overview
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.
Subsidiaries
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agnico Eagle and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses and gains or losses have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated where Agnico Eagle has the ability to exercise control. Control of an investee exists when Agnico Eagle is exposed to variable returns from the Company’s involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
Joint Arrangements
A joint arrangement is defined as an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control and is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties have joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. In a joint venture, the Company has rights to its share of the net assets of the joint arrangement. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s interests in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations from the date that joint control commenced. Agnico Eagle’s 50% interest in each of Canadian Malartic Corporation (“CMC”) and Canadian Malartic GP (the “Partnership”), the general partnership that held the Canadian Malartic complex located in Quebec, were accounted for as a joint operation until the remaining 50% was acquired on March 31, 2023 (Note 5).The Company recognizes its investments in joint ventures using the equity method.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the December 31, 2022, annual audited consolidated financial statements.
4.
SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The areas involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 4 to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Investment in San Nicolas Joint Arrangement
On April 6, 2023, Agnico Eagle and Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) entered into a joint venture shareholders agreement in respect of the San Nicolas copper-zinc development project located in Zacatecas, Mexico. The agreement provides that Agnico Eagle, through a wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, will subscribe for a 50% interest in Minas de San Nicolas, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“MSN”) for $580.0 million, to be contributed as study and development costs are incurred by MSN. For governance purposes, under the agreement, Agnico Eagle is deemed to have a 50% participating interest in MSN regardless of the number of shares that have been issued to Agnico Eagle or its affiliates, except in certain circumstances of default. Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), Agnico Eagle jointly controls MSN as both parties have the ability to make decisions relating to the relevant activities of MSN through their equal representation on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and corresponding 50/50 voting rights.
On closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a $290.0 million liability, in other non-current liabilities, representing the minimum unavoidable obligation under the agreement, and recognized a corresponding investment in the joint arrangement of $290.0 million reflected in other non-current assets (Note 8B).
During the second quarter of 2023, Agnico Eagle made contributions of $21.9 million to MSN which were recorded against the $290.0 million obligation.
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 the Canadian Malartic complex 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, with Agnico Eagle recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in its consolidated results. As of March 31, 2023, Agnico Eagle controls 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 in the quarter 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 preliminary 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

Note:
(i)
Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented as reported in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2023.
The fair value of Agnico Eagle’s previously held 50% interest and the resulting gain on remeasurement along with the fair values allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, and are subject to adjustment based on further analysis and evaluation over the course of the measurement period which will not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date. Where preliminary values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be materially adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods. In particular, the Company will continue to evaluate new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date pertaining to the fair value of property, plant and mine development, goodwill, reclamation provisions and deferred income and mining tax liabilities. Provisional amounts recognized in the first quarter of 2023 were revised in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a change in the basis used to derive the mining interest valuation, resulting in a reclassification of value from mining interest to goodwill.
The results of operations, cash flows and net assets acquired in the Yamana Transaction have been consolidated with those of the Company from March 31, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Yamana Transaction contributed revenue of $167.5 million and earnings before income and mining taxes of $41.3 million. Total consolidated revenue and earnings before income and mining taxes of the Company for the three (six) months ended June 30, 2023, were $1,718.2 million ($3,227.9 million) and $466.3 million ($2,411.8 million), respectively. If the Yamana Transaction had taken place on January 1, 2023, pro forma total consolidated revenue and income before income and mining taxes for the Company would have been approximately $3,366.3 million and $2,461,1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Goodwill represents the expected value of additional exploration potential arising from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income and mining tax purposes.
In the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $1.7 million of transaction costs in connection with the Yamana Transaction and in the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $16.9 million of transaction costs in connection with the Yamana Transaction. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in the other expenses line of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

ACQUISITIONS (Continued)
Kirkland
On February 8, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kirkland in exchange for the issuance of Agnico Eagle common shares to former Kirkland shareholders pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Merger”). Each Kirkland shareholder received 0.7935 of a common share of Agnico Eagle as consideration for each Kirkland share, which resulted in the issuance of 209,274,263 Agnico Eagle common shares. Prior to the Merger, Kirkland owned and operated the Detour Lake and Macassa mines in Canada and the Fosterville mine in Australia, and also owned exploration properties in Canada and Australia. The acquisition of Kirkland increased the Company’s production, mineral reserves and cash flow.
The Company determined that the Merger represented a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), with Agnico Eagle identified as the acquirer and, as such, the Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3.
The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquired assets, net of the assumed liabilities is as follows:
Fair value of common shares issued
$ 10,268,584
Fair value of replacement share based compensation issued
14,522
$ 10,283,106
The final estimates of fair value have been adjusted retrospectively to the acquisition date. Certain previously reported financial statement line items were updated to reflect the impact of the adjusted final estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Merger.
The following table sets out the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger based on management’s previously reported preliminary estimates and adjusted final estimates of fair value.

Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented as reported in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2022.
Goodwill represents the expected value of operational synergies and additional exploration potential arising from the Merger. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income and mining tax purposes.
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $11.3 million of transaction and severance costs in connection with the Merger and in the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $92.1 million of transaction and severance costs in connection with the Merger. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in the other expenses line of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
The results of operations, cash flows and net assets of Kirkland have been consolidated with those of the Company from February 8, 2022. For the three (six) months ended June 30, 2022, Kirkland contributed revenue of $633.8 million ($1,133.1 million) and earnings before income and mining taxes of $295.2 million ($412.5 million). Total consolidated revenue and earnings before income and mining taxes of the Company for the three (six) months ended June 30, 2022, were $1,581.1 million ($2,906.7 million) and

$456.9 million ($636.5 million), respectively. If the acquisition of Kirkland had taken place on January 1, 2022, pro forma total consolidated revenue and income before income and mining taxes for the Company would have been approximately $2,960.7 million and $626.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
6.
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 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, 2023, 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, 2023 using the fair value hierarchy:

Trade Receivables
Trade receivables from provisional invoices for concentrate sales are valued using quoted forward rates derived from observable market data based on the month of expected settlement (classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
Equity Securities
Equity securities representing shares of publicly traded entities are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices (classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). Equity securities representing shares of non-publicly traded entities are recorded at fair value using external broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models (classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments and Warrants
The Company holds share purchase warrants of certain publicly traded entities. Share purchase warrants are accounted for as derivative financial instruments and presented as part of investments in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Derivative financial instruments, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are recorded at fair value using external broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models or option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs.
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, 2023 at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is determined by applying a discount rate, reflecting the credit spread based on the Company’s credit rating to future related cash flows which is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 11.
Lease obligations are recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023 at amortized cost. The fair value of lease obligations is the present value of the future lease payments discounted at the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate. It is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term, future lease payments or changes in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. The fair value of lease obligations is not materially different from the carrying amounts as a result of the difference between the incremental borrowing rates used at the initial recognition date and the current market rates at June 30, 2023.
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 non-current 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, 2023 (Note 8B).
7.
INVENTORIES
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, impairment losses of $1.3 million (2022 — $9.8 million) were recorded within production costs to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, impairment losses of $1.3 million (2022 — $35.5 million) were recorded within production costs to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value.

LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
As at June 30, 2023, $1,099.0 million was available for future drawdown under the Credit Facility (December 31, 2022 — $1,199.1 million). Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were $1.0 million as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 — $0.9 million).

Term Loan Facility
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions that provides a $600 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 Credit Facility. The Company is also required to maintain a total net debt to EBITDA 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, 2,598,337 (2022 — 2,711,061) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”)
On May 2, 2023, the Company received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, 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 on the open market at its discretion, during the period commencing on May 4, 2023 and ending on May 3, 2024. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

EQUITY (Continued)
There were no repurchases of shares under the Company’s NCIB program in the three months ended June 30, 2023 (2022 —  453,000). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 (2022 — 453,000) common shares for $4.8 million (2022 — $22.3 million) at an average price of $47.75 (2022 — $49.13) as part of its authorized NCIB program. Of the shares purchased, 100,000 (2022 — 200,000) were cancelled as of June 30, 2023. The book value of the cancelled shares was $3.6 million (2022 — $7.1 million) and was treated as a reduction to common share capital. The portion of the consideration paid for the repurchased shares in excess of their book value was treated as a reduction to contributed surplus.

The average share price of Agnico Eagle’s common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was C$71.00 (2022 — C$69.69).
Agnico Eagle estimated the fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company uses historical volatility to estimate the expected volatility of Agnico Eagle’s share price. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience.
Compensation expense related to the ESOP amounted to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, (2022 — $3.2 million) and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022 — $9.3 million).
B)
Incentive Share Purchase Plan (“ISPP”)
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 415,343 common shares were subscribed for under the ISPP (2022 — 286,967) for a value of $20.8 million (2022 — $15.5 million). The total compensation cost recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023, related to the ISPP was $3.6 million (2022 — $2.6 million) and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022 — $5.2 million).

approved RSUs. In the first six months of 2023, the Company funded a portion of the RSU plan by transferring $11.6 million (2022 — $19.4 million) to an employee benefit trust that then purchased common shares of the Company in the open market.
Compensation expense related to the RSU plan was $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, (2022 — $7.0 million) and $18.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022- $13.4 million).

D)
Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) Plan
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 84,000 PSUs were approved for grant (2022 — 157,500). The value of a PSU at the grant date approximates the market price of a common share of the Company on that date. The PSU’s are accounted for as cash-settled share based liabilities. At each reporting date, and on settlement, the share based liabilities are remeasured, with changes in fair value recognized as compensation expense in the period.
Compensation expense related to the PSU plan was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, (2022 — $2.0 million) and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022 — $9.0 million).

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, 2023, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts related to $2,134.9 million of 2023 and 2024 expenditures (December 31, 2022 — $2,907.9 million). The Company recognized mark-to-market adjustments in the 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 2023 and 2022 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 Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. All of these derivative transactions expired prior to period-end such that no derivatives were outstanding as at June 30, 2023, or December 31, 2022. The call option premiums were recognized in the 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 Nunavut operations’ diesel fuel exposure. There were derivative financial instruments outstanding as at June 30, 2023, relating to 17.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2022 — 19.0 million). The related mark-to-market adjustments prior to settlement were recognized in the 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 heating oil derivative financial instruments are based on broker-dealer quotations that utilize period-end forward pricing to calculate fair value.
Share Purchase Warrants
The Company holds warrants to acquire equity securities of certain issuers in the mining industry. These warrants are not part of the Company’s core operations, and accordingly, gains and losses from these investments are not representative of the Company’s performance during the year.
The following table sets out a summary of the amounts recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

ONGOING LITIGATION
Kirkland
Effective as of February 8, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Kirkland in the Merger (Note 5). 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 remains outstanding as at June 30, 2023. Management believes that the claim has no merit and intends to defend it vigorously. No amounts have been recorded for any potential liability and the Company believes that the likelihood of loss is undeterminable at this point.
Kirkland is 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 allege 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. Since then, the parties have continued with the documentary and oral discovery process. The Company continues to believe that the one outstanding claim is without merit.
Kittila permits
In May 2020, the Regional State Administrative Agency of Northern Finland (the “RSAA”) granted Agnico Eagle Finland Oy (“Agnico Finland”) environmental and water permits that allowed Agnico Finland to enlarge its second carbon-in-leach (“CIL2”)

ONGOING LITIGATION (Continued)
tailings storage facility, expand the operations of the Kittila mine to 2.0 Mtpa and build a new discharge waterline. The permits were subsequently appealed by a third party to the Vaasa Administrative Court (the “VAC”). In July 2022, the appeals were granted, in part, with the result that the permits were returned for reconsideration to the RSAA.
In August 2022, Agnico Finland appealed the decisions of the VAC to the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland (the “SAC”) and requested that the SAC restore the permits through an interim decision pending the ultimate result of Agnico Finland’s appeal.
On November 1, 2022, the SAC issued an interim decision upholding the initial CIL2 tailings storage facility permit and restoring permitted nitrogen emission levels for the year 2022. However, the SAC interim decision didn’t uphold the permit for the expansion of the mine to 2.0 Mtpa. The VAC decision is valid until a final decision is issued by the SAC. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Agnico Finland reduced its underground production levels to comply with the mining volume requirements. Agnico Finland expects a final decision from the SAC in the third quarter of 2023.
If the SAC does not reinstate Agnico Finland’s permits as granted by the RSAA in 2020 to produce at, or close to, 2.0 Mtpa, the Company intends to submit an updated permit application for 2.0 Mtpa output level or higher.
