NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015
| |
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Goldcorp Inc. is the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group ("Goldcorp" or "the Company"). The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada, and its registered office is at Suite 3400 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2X8.
The Company is a gold producer engaged in the operation, exploration, development, and acquisition of precious metal properties in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. The Company’s current sources of operating cash flows are primarily from the sale of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc.
At March 31, 2015, the Company’s principal producing mining properties were comprised of the Red Lake, Porcupine and Musselwhite gold mines in Canada; the Peñasquito gold/silver/lead/zinc mine and the Los Filos gold mine in Mexico; the Marlin gold/silver mine in Guatemala; the Cerro Negro gold/silver mine, which achieved commercial production effective January 1, 2015 and the Alumbrera gold/copper mine (37.5% interest) in Argentina; and the Pueblo Viejo gold/silver/copper mine (40.0% interest) in the Dominican Republic. The Company also owns a 39.3% equity interest in Tahoe Resources Inc. ("Tahoe"), which owns and operates the Escobal silver mine in Guatemala (note 12).
The Company’s significant development projects at March 31, 2015 included the Cochenour and Éléonore gold projects in Canada, with Éléonore achieving commercial production effective April 1, 2015; the El Morro gold/copper project (70.0% interest) in Chile; and the Camino Rojo gold/silver project in Mexico. On March 13, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Probe Mines Ltd. ("Probe"), which owns the Borden Gold Project ("Borden project") in Canada (note 3).
The Wharf gold mine in the United States was sold on February 20, 2015 and has been classified as a discontinued operation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (note 4).
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
Significant judgements and estimates
The Company’s management makes judgements in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of the impacts of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
In preparing the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company applied the critical judgements and estimates disclosed in notes 6 and 7 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the following critical judgment in applying accounting policies:
Business combinations
Determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute the acquisition of a business or asset may require the Company to make certain judgements as to whether or not the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include the inputs, processes and outputs necessary to constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. If an acquired set of assets and liabilities includes goodwill, the set is presumed to be a business. Based on an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded
First Quarter Report – 2015
(In millions of United States dollars, except where noted)
that the acquisition of Probe on March 13, 2015 did not meet the criteria of a business combination and the transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of an asset (note 3).
Basis of consolidation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's presentation currency is the United States ("US") dollar. All amounts are expressed in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise stated. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. The principal subsidiaries (mine sites and operating segments) of Goldcorp and their geographic locations at March 31, 2015 were as follows:
|
| | | |
Direct parent company (mine sites and operating segments) (note 5) | Location | Ownership interest | Mining properties and development projects owned (note 11) |
Red Lake Gold Mines Ontario Partnership ("Red Lake") | Canada | 100% | Red Lake and Campbell Complexes, and Cochenour project |
Goldcorp Canada Ltd./Goldcorp Inc. ("Porcupine") | Canada | 100% | Porcupine mine and Borden project |
Goldcorp Canada Ltd./Goldcorp Inc. ("Musselwhite") | Canada | 100% | Musselwhite mine |
Les Mines Opinaca Ltée ("Éléonore") | Canada | 100% | Éléonore project |
Minera Peñasquito S.A. de C.V. and Camino Rojo S.A. de C.V. ("Peñasquito") | Mexico | 100% | Peñasquito mine, and Camino Rojo project |
Desarrollos Mineros San Luis S.A. de C.V. ("Los Filos") | Mexico | 100% | Los Filos mine |
Montana Exploradora de Guatemala S.A. ("Marlin") | Guatemala | 100% | Marlin mine |
Oroplata S.A. ("Cerro Negro") | Argentina | 100% | Cerro Negro mine |
Sociedad Contractual Minera El Morro ("El Morro") | Chile | 70% | El Morro project |
Intercompany assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements also include the following investments in associates that are accounted for using the equity method:
|
| | | |
Associates (mine sites and/or operating segments) (notes 5 and 12) | Location | Ownership interest | Mining properties (note 11) |
Minera Alumbrera Limited ("Alumbrera") | Argentina | 37.5% | Alumbrera mine |
Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation ("Pueblo Viejo") | Dominican Republic | 40.0% | Pueblo Viejo mine |
Tahoe | Guatemala | 39.3% | Escobal mine |
First Quarter Report – 2015
(In millions of United States dollars, except where noted)
On March 13, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Probe, pursuant to a plan of arrangement. Probe's principal asset is the 100% owned Borden project, located 160 kilometres west of the Company's Porcupine mine. The Borden project is expected to provide a new potential source of production for Porcupine thereby leveraging existing investments made in people, infrastructure and stakeholder partnerships. Upon closing, former Probe shareholders were issued 0.1755 Goldcorp common shares for each common share of Probe outstanding, excluding the 18.5 million Probe common shares, or 19.7% interest, held by the Company at March 13, 2015. The Company also issued 1.4 million stock options and 0.5 million warrants to former Probe option and warrant holders, respectively.
Immediately prior to the arrangement taking effect, Probe shareholders, including the Company, received an interest in a new exploration company, Probe Metals Inc. ("Probe Metals"), to which Probe had transferred certain exploration assets as part of the arrangement. Probe Metals was capitalized with C$15 million ($12 million) in cash contributed by Goldcorp which has been included in the total consideration paid for the acquisition of Probe.
The Company concluded that the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Probe did not constitute a business and accordingly the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of an asset. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis as follows:
|
| | | |
Purchase price: | |
13.3 million common shares issued (1) | $ | 250 |
|
Cost of 19.7% investment held in Probe prior to the closing of the transaction (2) | 57 |
|
Cash paid | 12 |
|
1.4 million stock options issued (3) | 15 |
|
0.5 million warrants issued (3) | 5 |
|
Transaction costs | 4 |
|
| 343 |
|
Net assets acquired: | |
Cash and cash equivalents | 13 |
|
Mining interests | 340 |
|
Deferred income tax asset | 3 |
|
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (5 | ) |
Other liabilities | (8 | ) |
| $ | 343 |
|
| |
(1) | The common shares were valued at the March 13, 2015 closing price of Goldcorp shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (C$24.12). |
| |
(2) | Of the 18.5 million Probe common shares, or 19.7% interest, owned by the Company at March 13, 2015, 10.1 million common shares were purchased from Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. during the three months ended March 31, 2015 for cash consideration of C$51 million ($40 million). At the date of acquisition, the $3 million cumulative mark-to-market gain on the 19.7% interest in Probe, which had previously been designated as available-for-sale, was reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income and included in the purchase price. |
| |
(3) | The fair value of the options and warrants issued were calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and inputs: (i) expected life – 0.3 years, (ii) weighted average expected volatility – 42.4%, (iii) expected dividend yield – 3.2%, (iv) risk-free interest rate – 0.5%, (v) weighted average share price – C$24.12 ($18.84). |
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been assigned to and included in the Porcupine reportable operating segment.

(In millions of United States dollars, except where noted)
On February 20, 2015, the Company completed the sale of Wharf to Coeur Mining, Inc. for total consideration of $99 million in cash, including closing adjustments. The transaction aligns with the Company’s commitment to focus on a portfolio of core assets. The Company recognized a gain on disposition of $49 million after tax, calculated as follows:
|
| | | |
Cash proceeds, net of transaction costs of $1 million | $ | 98 |
|
Net assets sold and derecognized: | |
Inventories | 19 |
|
Other current assets | 3 |

|
The results of Wharf have been presented as net earnings and cash flows from discontinued operation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and comparative results have been re-presented. Additionally, Wharf's assets and liabilities were presented separately as assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale, respectively, as at December 31, 2014 in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At March 31, 2015, the Company's borrowings eligible for capitalization included the Company’s $1.0 billion notes (the "$1.0 billion Notes"), $1.5 billion notes (the "$1.5 billion Notes") and the $2.0 billion revolving credit facility (collectively, "general borrowings").
At March 31, 2014, the Company's borrowings eligible for capitalization included the $1.5 billion Notes and the $863 million convertible senior notes (collectively, "general borrowings"), and certain financing arrangements held by Cerro Negro.
The amount of general borrowing costs capitalized were determined by applying the weighted average cost of borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2015 of 3.81% (2014 – 5.00%), proportionately to the accumulated qualifying expenditures on mining interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, $27 million of borrowing costs arising on the Company's general borrowings were capitalized (2014 – $28 million) with $nil borrowing costs recognized in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Earnings (2014 – $2 million).
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, $3 million of borrowing costs incurred by the Company on financing arrangements held by Cerro Negro were capitalized.

(c) | During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $35 million (2014 – $30 million) in exploration and evaluation expenditures, of which $21 million (2014 – $19 million), had been capitalized and included in expenditures on mining interests. The remaining $14 million (2014 – $11 million) was expensed. |
| |
(d) | Transfers and other movements primarily represent the conversion of reserves, resources and exploration potential within mining interests, utilization of deposits on mining interests expenditures, capitalized reclamation and closure costs, capitalized depreciation, and dispositions of mining properties during the period. In addition, amounts capitalized associated with proven and probable reserves for Cerro Negro were reclassified from non-depletable to depletable mining properties on January 1, 2015, following achievement of commercial production. |
| |
(e) | Corporate and Other includes exploration properties in Mexico with a carrying amount of $11 million at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – $10 million). |
| |
(f) | Depreciation and depletion expensed for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $322 million (2014 – $169 million), as compared to total depreciation and depletion of $385 million (2014 – $201 million), due to the capitalization of depreciation of $14 million (2014 – $11 million) relating to development projects (note 11(d)) and movements in amounts allocated to inventories of $49 million (2014 – $21 million). |
| |
(g) | At March 31, 2015, assets under construction, therefore not yet being depreciated, included in the carrying amount of plant and equipment amounted to $356 million (December 31, 2014 – $547 million). |

On April 1, 2015, Tahoe acquired Rio Alto Mining Limited (“Rio Alto”) for total consideration of approximately $874 million consisting primarily of the issuance of 76.0 million common shares of Tahoe to the former shareholders of Rio Alto. The acquisition resulted in a dilution of the Company’s interest in Tahoe to 25.9% on April 1, 2015. As a result, the Company has estimated a preliminary dilution gain of $100 million which will be finalized and recognized in the Company's Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

| |
(d) | On February 17, 2015, the guarantee provided by Barrick and Goldcorp pertaining to the $1.035 billion in project financing for Pueblo Viejo (Goldcorp's share – $414 million) terminated as a result of Pueblo Viejo achieving certain operational and technical milestones. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, total repayments of $115 million (2014 – $53 million) were made on the $1.035 billion project financing (Goldcorp's share – $46 million (2014 – $21 million)). At March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the project financing was $773 million (Goldcorp's share – $309 million) (December 31, 2014 – $888 million (Goldcorp's share – $355 million)). |

(i) | Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets |
The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

At March 31, 2015, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
The Company’s policy for determining when a transfer occurs between levels in the fair value hierarchy is to assess the impact at the date of the event or the change in circumstances that could result in a transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2015, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
| |
(ii) | Valuation methodologies for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities |
Accounts receivable arising from sales of metal concentrates
The Company’s metal concentrate sales contracts are subject to provisional pricing with the selling price adjusted at the end of the quotational period. At each reporting date, the Company’s accounts receivable on these contracts are marked-to-market based on a quoted forward price for which there exists an active commodity market.
Commodity and currency forward and option contracts
The Company's derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of commodity and currency forward and option contracts. The fair values of the forward contracts are calculated using discounted contractual cash flows based on quoted forward curves and discount rates incorporating the applicable yield curve. The fair values of the option contracts are calculated using an option pricing model which utilizes a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, including volatility estimates and option adjusted credit spreads.

At March 31, 2015, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities not already measured and recognized at fair value were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | |

| |
(2) | Includes accrued interest payable. |
At March 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of money market investments, other financial assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other financial liabilities and certain debt are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(e) | Financial instruments and related risks |
The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk in accordance with its Finance Risk Management Policy. The Company's exposure to financial risks and how the Company manages each of those risks are described in note 25(e) to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
First Quarter Report – 2015
(In millions of United States dollars, except where noted)
2014. There were no significant changes to those risks or to the Company's management of exposure to those risks during the three months ended March 31, 2015, except as noted below:
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company generated operating cash flows from continuing operations of $51 million (2014 – $263 million). At March 31, 2015, Goldcorp held cash and cash equivalents and money market investments of $365 million and $55 million, respectively (December 31, 2014 – $482 million and $53 million, respectively) and had working capital of 831 million (December 31, 2014 – $691 million, $26 million of which represents the Company's net assets held for sale), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities. Before non-cash working capital changes, operating cash flows from continuing operations amounted to $271 million (2014 – $221 million).
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company drew down an additional $300 million from the $2.0 billion credit facility. At March 31, 2015, the undrawn balance of the credit facility was $860 million (December 31, 2014 – $1.2 billion).
At March 31, 2015, the Company had letters of credit outstanding, including amounts relating to discontinued operations, surety bonds and secured deposits in the amount of $432 million (December 31, 2014 – $460 million). The Company's capital commitments for the next twelve months amounted to $101 million at March 31, 2015.
Currency risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $15 million (2014 – loss of $19 million). Based on the Company’s net exposures (other than those relating to taxes) at March 31, 2015, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of applicable foreign currencies against the US dollar would have resulted in an approximate $30 million increase or decrease in the Company’s after-tax net loss, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $131 million in income tax expense on income taxes receivable/(payable) and deferred taxes (2014 – $105 million). Based on the Company’s net exposures relating to taxes at March 31, 2015, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of applicable foreign currencies against the US dollar would have resulted in an approximate $251 million decrease or increase in the Company’s after-tax net loss, respectively.

(1) | Stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 vest over a period of 3 years (2014 – 3 years), expire in 2022 (2014 – in 2019) and had a total fair value of $19 million (2014 – $22 million) at the date of grant. |
| |
(2) | The weighted average share price at the date stock options were exercised was C$24.41 (2014 – C$30.35). Of the 835,000 stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015, 613,000 were issued in connection with the acquisition of Probe (note 3). |
The weighted average fair value of stock options granted of C$5.56 ($4.46) per option during the three months ended March 31, 2015 (2014 – C$6.86 ($6.17)) was calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and inputs:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2015 |
| 2014 |
|
Expected life | 3.2 years |
| 3.1 years |
|
Expected volatility | 39.9 | % | 38.0 | % |
Expected dividend yield | 2.9 | % | 2.2 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.5 | % | 1.2 | % |
Weighted average share price | C$ | 26.08 |
| C$ | 30.15 |
|
The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 10.0% (2014 – 9.2%) for the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of Goldcorp’s Canadian dollar common share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on Canadian government zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options’ expected life.
RSUs
The Company issued 2.3 million RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2015 (three months ended March 31, 2014 – 2.0 million RSUs) which vest over 3 years (three months ended March 31, 2014 – 3 years). The fair value was C$26.08 per RSU (three months ended March 31, 2014 – C$30.15) with a total fair value of $48 million (three months ended March 31, 2014 – $53 million) based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of issuance.
At March 31, 2015, there were 3.9 million RSUs outstanding (December 31, 2014 – 3.0 million).
First Quarter Report – 2015
(In millions of United States dollars, except where noted)
The Company has other share-based compensation plans in place which include a Performance Share Unit ("PSU") Plan, Phantom Restricted Unit ("PRU") Plan and Employee Share Purchase Plan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 531,749 PSUs (2014 – 441,016) and 823,568 PRUs (2014 – 608,217), which will vest over a period of 3 years, with a total fair value of $27 million (2014 – $23 million) at the date of issuance.
Total share-based compensation expense relating to the PSU and PRU Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $5 million (2014 – $7 million), of which $5 million (2014 – $6 million) was included in corporate administration in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Earnings and $nil (2014 – $1 million) was capitalized to development projects.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company also recorded compensation expense of $1 million (2014 – $1 million), relating to its Employee Share Purchase Plan which was included in corporate administration in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Earnings.
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. While the outcome of these matters is uncertain, based upon the information currently available, the Company does not believe that these matters in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements on the date such changes occur.

(a) | On March 12, 2015, the Company announced that Minera Peñasquito had reached a definitive court approved settlement with the Cerro Gordo Ejido relating to surface land rights to 600 hectares (approximately 1,483 acres) of land located within the confines of the Peñasquito Mine site. Minera Peñasquito had negotiated an agreement for use of the land prior to the construction of the mine, however, in 2009 the Cerro Gordo Ejido commenced an action against Peñasquito in Mexico's agrarian courts challenging the land use agreement. Following a series of legal proceedings, the agrarian courts ruled on June 18, 2013, that the land use agreement was null and ordered the land to be returned to the Cerro Gordo Ejido. This recent settlement reached fully resolves the dispute. Concurrently, Minera Peñasquito and the Cerro Gordo Ejido entered into a new thirty year surface land use agreement on commercial terms for the 600 hectares. |

(b) | In October 2014, Pueblo Viejo received a copy of an action filed in an administrative court in the Dominican Republic by Rafael Guillen Beltre (the "Petitioner"), who claims to be affiliated with the Dominican Christian Peace Organization. The Government of the Dominican Republic has also been notified of the action. The action alleges that environmental contamination in the vicinity of the Pueblo Viejo mine has caused illness and affected water quality in violation of the Petitioner’s fundamental rights under the Dominican Constitution and other laws. The primary relief sought in the action, which is styled as an "Amparo" remedy, is the suspension of operations at the Pueblo Viejo mine as well as other mining projects in the area until an investigation into the alleged environmental contamination has been completed by the relevant governmental authorities. On November 24, 2014, the Administrative Court granted Pueblo Viejo's motion to remand the matter to a trial court in the Municipality of Cotuí ("Trial Court") on procedural grounds. A preliminary hearing scheduled for April 28, 2015 has been postponed to May 21, 2015. No amounts have been recorded for any potential liability or asset impairment arising from this matter, as Pueblo Viejo cannot reasonably predict any potential losses. |
Sale of the South Arturo Mine Project
On April 6, 2015, the Company announced it had signed a binding letter of intent with Premier Gold Mines Ltd. ("Premier") for the sale of its 40% interest in the South Arturo Mine Project (the "Project") in Nevada. The Project is a joint venture between the Company, a 40% owner, and Barrick, a 60% owner and the operator of the Project. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive cash consideration of $20 million and a further 5% interest in the Rahill-Bonaza Joint Venture in Red Lake. Concurrent with the divestiture, the Company agreed to complete a private placement with Premier in the amount of C$12.5 million, subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval. The closing of the agreement, which is subject to Barrick not exercising its right of first refusal in respect of the Project and completion of definitive documentation, is expected to occur by the end of May 2015.
