HIGHLIGHTS
•Attributable gold production was 161,000 ounces in the first quarter.
•Côté produced 51,000 attributable ounces (73,000 ounces on a 100% basis) in the first quarter. During March, Côté achieved an average mill throughput rate of 90% of nameplate design capacity and produced 26,500 attributable ounces (37,900 ounces on a 100% basis). Subsequent to quarter end, the plant continued to demonstrate good availability and utilization with throughput averaging 96% of nameplate over the last 30 days.
•Production is expected to be higher quarter over quarter through 2025 as Côté ramps up to design capacity by the end of 2025 and the grade at Essakane increases during the second half of the year based on the mining sequence. At Westwood, underground throughput and grade is expected to increase compared to the first quarter.

•Cost of sales per ounce sold was $1,465, cash cost1 per ounce sold was $1,459 and all-in-sustaining cost1 ("AISC")1 per ounce sold was $1,908.
•Net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share attributable to equity holders1 for the first quarter of $0.07 and $0.10, respectively.
•Net cash from operating activities was $74.3 million for the first quarter, net of the impact of delivering 37,500 ounces into gold prepay obligations. Net cash from operating activities, before movements in working capital and non-current ore stockpiles1, was $104.9 million for the first quarter, net of the impact of delivering 37,500 ounces into gold prepay obligations.
•Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)1 was $195.2 million for the first quarter and adjusted EBITDA1 was $204.5 million.
•Mine-site free cash flow1 was $139.6 million during the first quarter.

Total attributable production for IAMGOLD in 2025 is expected to be in the range of 735,000 to 820,000 ounces. Production is expected to be higher quarter over quarter through 2025 as Côté ramps up to design capacity by the end of 2025 and the grade at Essakane increases during the second half of the year based on the mining sequence. At Westwood, underground throughput and grade is expected to increase from the first quarter through underground process improvements.

2.This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
Cash costs on a consolidated basis are expected to be in the range of $1,200 to $1,350 per ounce sold, a slight increase from last year primarily as a result of an increase in expected cash costs at Essakane. AISC for the Company is expected to be in the range of $1,625 and $1,800 per ounce sold, in line with 2024 as a result of the ramp-up of Côté Gold and reduced capitalized waste stripping at Essakane. In line with production levels, unit costs are expected to decrease corresponding with higher production volumes throughout the year.
The full year guidance is based on the following 2025 full year assumptions, before the impact of hedging: average realized gold price of $2,500 per ounce, USDCAD exchange rate of 1.35, EURUSD exchange rate of 1.11, average Brent oil price of $75 per barrel and WTI price of $70 per barrel. For expected impacts from fluctuation in these assumptions, refer to the Sensitivity Impact table included in the Financial Condition section.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 6 | ||||
Capital expenditures in 2025 are expected to total $310 million, of which $290 million is categorized as sustaining capital. Capital expenditures are lower than 2024, as a result of the completion of expansion capital outlays as Côté Gold construction and commissioning was completed earlier in the year. Sustaining capital estimates are expected to decline going forward, as Côté completes the construction of the full tailings dam footprint and related earthworks projects and as capitalized waste stripping declines at Essakane based on the current mine plan.
Exploration Outlook
Exploration expenditures for 2025 are expected to be approximately $38 million, the majority of which will be expensed. The largest exploration spend will be at Côté Gold of approximately $13 million attributable to IAMGOLD including the Gosselin resource delineation drilling program, Essakane at approximately $7 million, followed by Nelligan/Monster Lake at approximately $6 million.

Income Taxes Paid and Depreciation Outlook
The Company expects to pay cash taxes in the range of $120 to $130 million during 2025. Cash tax payments do not occur evenly by quarter, as amounts paid in a quarter can include payments of the final balance of the prior year taxes and payments of instalments for the current year, both required to be made at times as prescribed by different countries. There are no significant cash taxes expected in respect of the new global minimum top-up taxes ("GloBE"). The income taxes paid guidance does not include cash tax obligations arising from asset sales.
Depreciation expense for 2025 is expected to be $450 million (±5%) with increased depreciation expense due to the increase in the value of depreciable property, plant and equipment following the completion of construction and commencement of commercial operations at Côté Gold and the 2024 impairment reversal at the Westwood cash generating unit ("CGU"). In line with production levels, depreciation expense is expected to be higher in the second half of the year due to the large proportion of depreciable assets that are depreciated on a units of production basis.

Operational Insights
•Attributable gold production was 51,000 ounces (73,000 ounces on a 100% basis) in the first quarter 2025 as the mine continues to ramp-up following the start of production on March 31, 2024. Production was impacted by maintenance and repair activities in the quarter; however, the operation achieved a record monthly throughput of 1.0 million tonnes in March, representing an average monthly processing rate of 90% of design capacity. Subsequent to quarter end, the plant continued to demonstrate good availability and utilization with throughput averaging 34,500 tpd or 96% over the last 30 days.
•Mining activity totaled 10.8 million tonnes in the first quarter 2025, an increase over the prior year period, with ore tonnes mined increasing to 3.1 million tonnes and an associated strip ratio of 2.5:1 waste to ore. The average grade of mined ore was 0.78 g/t in the first quarter 2025, in line with the updated mining schedule, as mining activities expand the pit and increase the volume of blasted ore in the pit to provide greater flexibility in supporting the planned mill feed with reduced rehandling.
•Mill throughput in the first quarter 2025 totaled 2.1 million tonnes. In March 2025, the plant processed approximately 1.0 million tonnes. Total quarterly throughput was lower in January and February due to maintenance and repair activities described below. Head grades of 1.17 g/t were in line with guidance, with feed material comprised of a combination of direct-feed ore and stockpiles. Recoveries in the plant averaged 93% in the quarter. The gravity circuit is now operational. The reconciliation between the reserve models, grade control models and mill feed continues in line with expected tolerances.
•During the quarter, the HPGR rollers demonstrated accelerated wear necessitating a changeover ahead of schedule and limiting the secondary crushing capacity in January. The changeover of the HPGR rolls was completed in February 2025 with operating and maintenance procedures adjusted to maximize lifespan and optimize future changeover windows. Inside the plant, the grinding circuit was also impacted early in the quarter, due to repairs required on one of the Vertimills following a faulty start-up post-maintenance. Prevention and mitigation procedures have been put in place. Plant throughput was lower in the first two months of the quarter as a result of the impact of the timing of these maintenance issues, with record monthly throughput achieved in March following these repairs.
•The target is to achieve the steady-state nameplate throughput rate of 36,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") by the end of 2025.
Financial Highlights (attributable basis) – Q1 2025
•Revenue and cost of sales were recognized in accordance with IAMGOLD's ownership level of 70% for the first quarter 2025, following the November 30, 2024, repurchase of the 9.7% transferred interest from SMM.
•Production costs of $56.4 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Mining cost was $3.49 per tonne mined during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Costs are expected to decrease over the course of the year as mining operations continue to ramp-up and rehandling is reduced. The price of explosives and diesel were higher than planned in the quarter, partially offset by lower overall consumption.
•Milling cost was $20.18 per tonne milled during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Unit costs were higher in the first quarter due to lower throughput during the first two months of the quarter, higher parts and contractor costs from the increased maintenance activities and frequency, and costs associated with the refeed circuit to support the mill feed during the periods of sustained maintenance. Unit costs are expected to decrease over the course of the year as throughput increases towards nameplate capacity, and as operations and maintenance processes stabilize. Mill availability is expected to increase with the installation of the additional secondary crusher that should reduce the use of the refeed circuit and related costs.
•G&A cost was $8.89 per tonne milled during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Unit costs remained higher than expected as the average throughput during the quarter was below plan due to the maintenance activities. Unit costs are expected to further decrease as throughput increases over the course of the year.
•Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $65.2 million. Cost of sales includes $9.6 million of royalties and net profit interests for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cost of sales per ounce sold, excluding depreciation, was $1,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Cash costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $65.1 million and cash cost per ounce sold was $1,260.
•AISC per ounce sold was $1,643 for the quarter.
•Capital expenditures, on a 100% and incurred basis, totaled $30.2 million in the first quarter 2025. Sustaining capital expenditures totaled $25.8 million ($18.2 million on a 70% basis), including $11.7 million of capital projects related to operational improvements and ramp-up, $7.2 million of capitalized stripping, $3.5 million of tailings expansion and related earthworks, $3.3 million of mobile equipment and critical spares and $0.1 million of other capital projects. Expansion capital of $4.4 million ($3.1 million on a 70% basis) was primarily associated with the progress on the additional secondary crusher being installed later in the year and completion of the truck shop expansion.
2025 Outlook
Production at Côté Gold is expected to be in the range of 360,000 to 400,000 ounces on a 100% basis (250,000 to 280,000 ounces on an attributable basis). The primary focus continues to be the ramp-up of the processing plant towards the goal of achieving nameplate mill design capacity of 36,000 tpd by the end of the year.
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 10 | ||||
Mining activities are expected to increase throughout the year, averaging approximately 12 million tonnes in the fourth quarter, with a declining strip ratio throughout the year as ore mined increases. Plant throughput is expected to total approximately 11 to 12 million tonnes in 2025 with processing rates expected to increase quarter over quarter, particularly in the second quarter, following the winter season and first quarter maintenance, and in the fourth quarter with the installation of the additional secondary crusher. The additional secondary crusher will provide further capacity and redundancy in the dry side of the plant in support of the operation and potential future expansions. The installation of the crusher will require a multi-day shutdown in the fourth quarter, which is accounted for in current guidance estimates. Plant head grades are expected to average approximately 1.1 to 1.2 g/t Au, as mining and stockpiling activities shift towards a more efficient mine plan to reduce rehandling of stockpiled ore and optimized for potential future expansions. Gold production is expected to be lowest in the first quarter of the year and increase sequentially as plant throughput increases throughout the year.
Cash costs are expected to be in the range of $950 to $1,100 per ounce sold and AISC to be in the range of $1,350 to $1,500 per ounce sold. The cash cost guidance reflects the cost levels experienced in the first year of operations, including higher levels of maintenance, contractor support and continuous improvement consultants. Costs are expected to be lower in the second half of the year as targeted improvements are deployed and as production increases.
Sustaining capital expenditures guidance (±5%) attributable to IAMGOLD is approximately $110 million ($157 million on a 100% basis) and continues to be higher than the life-of-mine average as the mine progresses the completion of construction of the full tailings dam footprint and related earthworks projects and incurs higher capital waste spending of approximately $20 million ($28 million on a 100% basis) to complete the final year of the initial pit pushback. Expansion capital of $15 million ($21 million on a 100% basis) is primarily associated with the planned installation of the additional secondary crusher in the fourth quarter of this year.
Exploration
The Gosselin zone is located immediately to the northeast of the Côté zone. Following the expansion and delineation diamond drilling program completed in 2024, the 2025 drilling plan entails the continuation of the ongoing diamond drilling program to increase the confidence of the existing resource and convert a large part of the Inferred Resource category to the Indicated category. A total of 45,000 metres is planned and approximately 12,000 metres were completed in the first quarter. In addition, 6,500 metres is planned this year to test high potential targets along the favourable structural corridor towards the Jack Rabbit area to the north-east of the Gosselin zone and develop models and targets within the larger Côté District at Swayze West - Jerome area.
Technical studies are progressing to advance metallurgical testing, conduct mining and infrastructure studies to review options for potential inclusion of the Gosselin deposit into a future Côté Gold LOM plan.
Côté Zone Drilling
An infill drilling program of 20,000 metres is also planned on the Côté zone and will start early in the second quarter of 2025. This infill drilling program is planned to improve resource confidence within the northeastern extension of the Côté deposit and convert other areas of Inferred Resources into the Indicated Resources category.
Funding Agreement with Sumitomo
On December 19, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into the JV Funding and Amending Agreement with SMM (“JV Funding Agreement”), whereby SMM contributed the Company's funding obligations to the Côté Gold UJV and as a result, the Company transferred 9.7% of its interest in Côté Gold to SMM with a right to repurchase these transferred interests to return to its full 70% interest in the Côté Gold Mine.
On November 30, 2024, the Company exercised its right to repurchase the 9.7% interest in Côté Gold returning IAMGOLD to its full 70% interest in Côté Gold.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 12 | ||||
Operational Insights
•Production in the first quarter 2025 was 24,000 ounces, lower by 8,000 ounces or 25% compared with the same prior year period, primarily due to lower grades from both the underground and open pit mines.
•Mining activity in the first quarter 2025 of 281,000 tonnes of ore was higher by 78,000 tonnes or 38% from the same prior year period. The underground mine averaged 987 tpd as production from the underground operation continued to increase compared to the prior year, with eight active mining zones in the quarter. Grade mined from the underground mine was lower than the prior year period due to temporary equipment challenges impacting blasting efficiency that required stope re- sequencing, combined with increased dilution in certain stopes. The amount of stopes that are drilled and loaded have doubled over the last year.
•Lateral underground development of 1,147 metres in the first quarter 2025 was lower by 160 metres or 12% compared to the same prior year period, as the mine has successfully developed multiple mining zones in the prior periods.
•Mill throughput in the first quarter 2025 was 282,000 tonnes, at an average head grade of 2.89 g/t, 13% higher and 32% lower than the same prior year period, respectively.
•The mill achieved recoveries of 91% in the first quarter 2025, slightly lower than the same prior year period. Plant availability in the quarter of 94% was higher than the same prior year period of 85%.
Financial Performance – Q1 2025 Compared to Q1 2024
•Production costs of $41.0 million were higher by $2.4 million or 6% than the same prior year period primarily due to increased labour costs, increased explosives and tire costs at the mine, as well as increased rental cost of a mobile ore crusher supporting higher mill throughput. Administration costs increased due to consulting support for decarbonization initiatives, and increased insurance costs resulting from a higher insurable baseline revenue expectation for Westwood.
•Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, of $42.1 million was slightly higher than the same prior year period due to higher production costs. Cost of sales per ounce sold, excluding depreciation, of $1,547, was higher by $304 or 24% primarily due to lower production and sales volumes.
•Cash costs of $41.6 million were $0.9 million or 2% higher than the prior year period. Cash costs per ounce sold of $1,527 were higher by $291 or 24%, primarily due to lower production and sales volumes.
•AISC per ounce sold of $2,124 was higher by $288 or 16%, primarily due to higher cash costs per ounce sold and lower production and sales volumes, partially offset by lower sustaining capital.
•Sustaining capital expenditures of $15.1 million included underground development and rehabilitation of $8.9 million, mill and mobile equipment of $3.0 million, and other sustaining capital projects of $3.2 million.
2025 Outlook
Westwood production is expected to be in the range of 125,000 to 140,000 ounces in 2025, as underground mining rates target 1,000 tpd from multiple active mining zones. Underground throughput and grade is expected to increase from the first quarter through underground process improvements. Open pit activities from Grand Duc are currently planned to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025, though Grand Duc stockpiled material will contribute to the mill feed into 2027. The Company is investigating the potential for an expansion and extension of the pit, with a decision to be made later in the year.
Cash costs at Westwood are expected to be in the range of $1,175 to $1,325 per ounce sold and AISC in the range of $1,675 to $1,825 per ounce sold. Unit costs are expected to decrease from 2024 levels, in line with increased production levels.
Capital expenditures guidance is $70 million (±5%), primarily consisting of underground development and rehabilitation in support of the 2025 mine plan, the continued renewal of the mobile fleet and equipment overhauls, and certain asset integrity projects at the Westwood mill.
Brownfield Exploration
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 7,300 metres of underground diamond drilling (including approximately 800 metres of geotechnical drilling) were completed to support the continued ramp-up of underground mining operations.

Operational Insights
•Essakane produced 86,000 ounces of attributable production, a decrease of 32,000 ounces or 27%, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the grade as the mining activities sequenced through the upper benches of Phase 7 compared to the same prior year period when the mine was mining at the bottom of Phase 5. Grades tend to reconcile slightly below the reserve model during the earlier stages of mining a new phase, and conversely to the positive as mining moves deeper into a phase, as was experienced in the first half of 2024 when mining activities were on the later stages of phase 5.
•Mining activity totaled 10.9 million tonnes mined in the first quarter 2025, lower by 0.5 million tonnes or 4% compared to the same prior year period.
•Mill throughput in the first quarter 2025 was 3.1 million tonnes at an average head grade of 1.08 g/t, 2% higher and 29% lower than the same prior year period, respectively.
•The security situation in Burkina Faso continues to be a focus for the Company. Security-related incidents are still occurring in the country, the immediate region of the Essakane mine and, more broadly, the West African region. The security situation in Burkina Faso and its neighboring countries continues to apply pressures to supply chains, although with a reduced impact and there was no related business interruption during 2024 and the first quarter 2025. The Company continues to take proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of in-country personnel and is constantly adjusting its protocols and the activity levels at the site according to the security environment. The Company continues to invest in the security and supply chain infrastructure in the region and at the mine site. It is also incurring additional costs to bring employees, contractors, supplies and inventory to the mine. The situation has placed the Government of Burkina Faso under significant financial constraint due to the high cost of funding its initiatives to defend itself against the militant attacks (see “Risks and Uncertainties”).
Financial Performance – Q1 2025 Compared to Q1 2024
•Production costs of $127.7 million were higher by $16.8 million or 15%, resulting from higher expensed mining costs primarily due to a lower proportion of capitalized waste in the period, higher maintenance activities, and slightly higher administrative costs, offset by lower realized consumable costs including diesel, grinding media and cyanide.
•Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, of $148.9 million was higher by $18.4 million or 14% primarily due to higher production costs and higher royalties. Cost of sales per ounce sold, excluding depreciation, of $1,560 was higher by $556 or 55% primarily due to lower production and sales volumes and higher royalties. Royalties were $203 per ounce, an increase of $62 per ounce due to higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower sales volume.
•Cash costs of $148.6 million were higher by $18.4 million or 14%, primarily due to higher cost of sales and higher royalties. Cash costs per ounce sold of $1,557 were higher by $555 or 55%, primarily due to lower production and sales volumes and higher royalties.
•AISC per ounce sold of $1,846 was higher by $534 or 41% primarily due to lower production and sales volumes, partially offset by a decrease in sustaining capital expenditures compared to the prior period.
•Total capitalized stripping of $14.4 million was lower by $11.3 million or 44%, as the mine fleet sequenced through mining phases with higher life of phase strip ratios, resulting in a higher proportion of waste tonnes classified as operating waste consistent with the 2025 mine plan.
•Sustaining capital expenditures, excluding capitalized stripping, of $13.5 million included capital spares of $5.5 million, resource development of $1.9 million, tailings management of $1.6 million, generator overhaul of $0.9 million, mobile and mill equipment of $0.4 million, and other sustaining projects of $3.2 million. Expansion capital expenditures of $2.2 million were incurred in fulfillment of the community village resettlement commitment.
2025 Outlook
Essakane attributable production is expected to be in the range of 360,000 to 400,000 ounces (400,000 to 440,000 ounces at 100%). The mill is expected to operate at throughput and head grades in line with the current life of mine plan (detailed in the December 2023 43-101 Technical Report), though as mining moves into the primary zones of Phase 6 and 7 in the second half of the year, grades are expected to reconcile positively over this period.
Cash costs at Essakane are expected to be in the range of $1,400 to $1,550 per ounce sold and AISC to be in the range of $1,675 to $1,825 per ounce sold. The cost guidance for 2025 is higher than the 2024 cost guidance ranges due to lower production and higher local spending including regional security expenditures, increased community programs, permit fees and taxes. A decrease in capitalized waste mining is expected to result in a lower proportion of waste stripping costs being capitalized in 2025 and therefore a higher proportion of costs included in cash costs.
Capital expenditures guidance is approximately $115 million (±5%), including approximately $40 million on capitalized waste stripping to progress into Phases 6 and 7, as well as the ongoing replacement of certain equipment to improve efficiency and maintenance costs at Essakane.
Continued security incidents or related concerns could have a material adverse impact on future operating performance. The Company continues to actively work with authorities and suppliers to mitigate potential impacts and manage continuity of supply due to the security situation noted above while also investing in additional infrastructure and supply inventory levels appropriate to secure operational continuity (see "Risks and Uncertainties").

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had $316.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and net debt of $882.3 million. The Company has $210.0 million drawn on the Credit Facility and approximately $428.5 million remains available, resulting in liquidity at March 31, 2025, of approximately $745.8 million.
Within cash and cash equivalents, $46.9 million (70% basis) was held by the Côté Gold UJV, $200.2 million was held by Essakane and $60.6 million was held in the corporate treasury. The Côté Gold UJV requires its joint venture partners to fund, in advance, two months of future expenditures and cash calls are made at the beginning of each month, resulting in the month end cash balance approximating the following month's expenditure.
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 16 | ||||
The Company uses dividends and intercompany loans to repatriate funds from its operations and the timing of dividends may impact the timing and amount of required financing at the corporate level, including the Company's drawdowns under the Credit Facility. Excess cash at Essakane is mainly repatriated through dividend payments, of which the Company will receive its share based on its ownership, net of dividend taxes. The size of the dividend is dependent on cash held and the projected cash generation at Essakane. There is a risk that the Company may not receive full or partial refunds or be able to sell the outstanding VAT balances during 2025 which would impact the cash available for dividends paid during 2025 and future years (see “Risks and Uncertainties”).
On February 5, 2025, the Company concluded the disposition of its interest in the Yatela mine, initiated in 2019, by way of issuing the final closure payment of $18.2 million releasing the Company of all obligations.
On February 11, 2025, the Company completed a private placement of 0.8 million flow-through common shares of the Company (the "Flow-Through Shares") that will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The Flow-Through Shares were issued at a price of C$12.25 per Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10.0 million.
Restricted cash in support of environmental closure costs obligations related to Essakane, Westwood division and Côté Gold totaled $66.3 million.
The following sets out the changes in cash balance from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025:
Current assets as at March 31, 2025, were $680.7 million, an increase of $12.4 million compared with December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher receivables and other current assets of $33.3 million and higher inventories of $10.0 million, offset by lower cash and cash equivalents of $30.9 million.
Current liabilities as at March 31, 2025, were $481.9 million, down $68.7 million compared with December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to a $74.7 million reduction in the current portion of deferred revenue and a $21.5 million decrease in the current portion of other liabilities, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $14.0 million and an increase in income tax payable of $13.5 million.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt:

1.Includes principal for the Term Loan, 5.75% senior notes and equipment loans and does not include the repayment of the 2024 Prepay Arrangements (defined below) which will be physically settled in 2025, and leases.
2.Excludes the amounts drawn on the Credit Facility, which can be repaid at any time prior to maturity in 2028.
Credit Facility
The Company has a $650 million secured revolving Credit Facility, which was entered into in December 2017 and subsequently increased and extended by four years now maturing on December 20, 2028, in support of the Company’s requirements for a senior revolving facility for its overall business.
The Credit Facility provides for an interest rate margin above the SOFR, banker’s acceptance prime rate and base rate advances which vary, together with fees related thereto, according to the total Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of the Company. The Credit Facility is secured by certain of the Company's real assets, guarantees by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and pledges of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The key terms of the Credit Facility include certain limitations on incremental debt, certain restrictions on distributions and financial covenants, including Net Debt to EBITDA, Interest Coverage and a minimum liquidity requirement of $150 million. The Company was in compliance with its Credit Facility covenants as at March 31, 2025.
As at March 31, 2025, the Credit Facility was drawn in the amount of $210.0 million and the Company issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility in the amount of $7.4 million as collateral for surety bonds issued, $0.4 million as guarantees for certain environmental indemnities to government agencies, and $3.7 million as a supplier payment guarantee, with $428.5 million remaining available under the Credit Facility.
5.75% Senior notes
In September 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $450 million of senior notes at face value with an interest rate of 5.75% per annum (the "Notes"). The Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and mature on October 15, 2028. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2021, in the amount of approximately $12.9 million for each payment. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $7.5 million which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Notes within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method.
Term Loan
In May 2023, the Company entered into the $400.0 million Term Loan. The Term Loan has a 3% original issue discount, bears interest at a floating interest rate of either one month or three-month SOFR + 8.25% per annum and matures on May 16, 2028. The Term Loan is denominated in U.S. dollars and interest is payable upon each SOFR maturity date. The Term Loan notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries, subordinated to the Credit Facility.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $11.0 million, in addition to the 3% discount, which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Term Loan within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method.
The Term Loan can be repaid in $20 million tranches at any time and has a make-whole premium if repaid in the first two years, 104% of the principal if repaid after May 2025, 101% of the principal if repaid after May 2026 and 100% thereafter.
The Term Loan has a minimum liquidity requirement of $150 million and an interest coverage ratio (1.5x trailing consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense) covenants and has no mandatory requirements for gold or other forms of hedging, cost overrun reserves or cash sweeps. The Company was in compliance with its Term Loan covenants as at March 31, 2025.
Leases
At March 31, 2025, the Company had lease obligations of $126.3 million at a weighted average borrowing rate of 7.19%.
On April 29, 2022, the Company, on behalf of the Côté Gold UJV, entered into a master lease agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Limited for $125 million, which was subsequently amended to increase the facility to $175 million for the leasing of certain mobile equipment at Côté Gold. The final pieces of equipment were delivered during the first quarter 2025.
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 18 | ||||
Equipment loans
At March 31, 2025, the Company had equipment loans with a carrying value of $1.8 million secured by certain mobile equipment, with interest rates at 5.3% which mature in 2026. The equipment loans are carried at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets.
Gold prepay arrangements
In December 2023 and April 2024, the Company entered into gold sale prepay arrangements and amendments to certain pre-existing prepay arrangements, effectively transitioning the cash impact of the gold delivery obligations out of the first and second quarters of 2024 into the first and second quarters of 2025.
•2024 Q1 Prepay Arrangements: the Company received an amount of $59.9 million during the first quarter 2024 at an effective gold price of $1,916 per ounce and was required to physically deliver 31,250 ounces of gold over the period of January 2025 to March 2025 in equal monthly amounts. The Company delivered the gold into the 2024 Q1 Prepay Arrangement, completing this commitment by March 31, 2025.
•2024 Q2 Prepay Arrangements: the Company received an amount of $59.4 million during the second quarter 2024 at an effective gold price of $1,900 per ounce and is required to physically deliver 31,250 ounces of gold over the period of April 2025 to June 2025. The arrangement includes a gold collar of $2,100 to $2,925 per ounce whereby the Company will receive a cash payment at the time of delivery of the ounces if the spot price of gold exceeds $2,100 per ounce, with the payment calculated as the difference between the spot price and $2,100 per ounce, capped at $2,925 per ounce.
•Amendment to pre-existing prepay arrangements: the Company deferred the delivery of 12,500 ounces that were previously scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2025. In the first quarter 2025 the Company delivered 6,250 ounces of gold into this obligation. At March 31, 2025, 6,250 ounces of gold under this obligation remain to be delivered in equal monthly instalments during the second quarter 2025.
Surety bonds and performance bonds
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had (i) C$255.8 million ($177.9 million) of surety bonds, issued pursuant to arrangements with insurance companies, in support of environmental closure costs obligations related to the Westwood division and Côté Gold and (ii) C$32.1 million ($22.3 million) of performance bonds in support of certain obligations primarily related to the construction of fish habitat at Côté Gold.
As at March 31, 2025, the total collateral provided through letters of credit and cash deposits for the surety and performance bonds was $13.9 million. The balance of $186.3 million remains uncollateralized for the surety and performance bonds.
The Company will be required to increase bonds further by C$19.0 million cumulatively during the second and third quarter of 2025 and C$19.0 million cumulatively during the second and third quarter of 2026.
Derivative contracts
In addition to the gold sale prepayment arrangements noted above, and in order to mitigate volatility in costs and protect against downside, the Company entered into certain derivative contracts in respect of foreign exchange rates. In addition, the Company may manage certain other commodities exposure such as oil through derivatives. See “Financial Instruments” for information relating to the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts.
Liquidity Outlook
At March 31, 2025, the Company had available liquidity of $745.8 million mainly comprised of $316.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $428.5 million available under the Credit Facility.
The Company has considerable obligations and factors impacting its liquidity projections during the next twelve months:
•IAMGOLD will receive 70% of gold production and will fund 70% of the disbursements at Côté Gold related to the planned and unplanned costs related to the ramp-up, as well as ongoing operating and capital expenditures and working capital requirements. It is expected that Côté Gold will remain free cash flow positive, excluding the impact of gold prepay transactions. A slower than planned ramp-up or unplanned downtime would result in less gold sales and an increase in the funding requirement.
•The Company is required to deliver 37,500 ounces under its gold prepay arrangements from April 2025 to June 30, 2025. The prepay arrangements were funded at the time of entering into the agreements. For 31,250 ounces that will be delivered during the second quarter 2025, the Company will receive cash payments at the time of delivery based on the amount that market price of gold at the time of delivery exceeds $2,100 per ounce, capped at $2,925 per ounce.
•Within cash and cash equivalents, $46.9 million (70% basis) was held by Côté Gold and $200.2 million was held by Essakane. Cash at Essakane is mainly repatriated through dividend payments, of which the Company will receive its ownership share, net of dividend taxes. The Company’s ability to service and reduce its debt obligations in Canada is partly dependent on the ability of the Company to successfully repatriate dividends from Burkina Faso.
The Company's liquidity position, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and availability under the Credit Facility, together with expected cash flows from operations, is expected to be sufficient to support the Company's normal operating requirements, capital commitments, and service the prepay and debt obligations as it becomes due.
The Company’s financial results are highly dependent on the price of gold, oil and foreign exchange rates and future changes in these prices will, therefore, impact performance. The Company’s ability to draw down on the Credit Facility is dependent on its ability to meet net debt to EBITDA and interest ratio covenants.
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 19 | ||||
The Company will be dependent on the cash flows generated from its operations to repay its indebtedness that was incurred to fund the construction of the Côté Gold project. Readers are encouraged to read the “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and the “Risk Factors” sections contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Information Form, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca and the “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk and Uncertainties” section of the MD&A.
Contractual Obligations
As at March 31, 2025, contractual obligations from operations with various maturities were approximately $1.9 billion, primarily comprising expected future contractual payments of long-term debt, including principal and interest, purchase obligations, capital expenditures obligations, asset retirement obligations and lease obligations, partially offset by cash collateralized letters of credit and restricted cash in support of environmental closure cost obligations for certain mines. The Company believes these obligations will be met through available cash resources and net cash from operating activities. The Company entered into derivative contracts for risk management purposes. These derivative contracts are not included in the contractual obligations. Details of these contracts are included in “Financial Instruments”.

Financial Instruments
The Company seeks to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices by entering into derivative financial instruments from time to time. The Company establishes trading agreements with counterparties under which there is no requirement to post any collateral or make any margin calls on derivatives. Counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar with revenues primarily denominated in U.S. dollars which creates currency exchange risk exposure primarily associated with its expenditures denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros.
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding foreign currency contracts were as follows:

Hedge ratio2 | 44% | 16% | |||||||||||||||||||||
1.Canadian dollar hedges exclude Canadian dollars on hand which functions as a natural hedge for the Company’s Canadian dollar expenditures. USDCAD hedges are CAD notional hedges.
2.The Company calculates hedge ratios based on future estimates of operating and capital expenditures such as its Canadian dollar operating and capital expenditures at Côté Gold and Westwood and its corporate office. Outstanding derivative contracts are allocated based on a specified allocation methodology.
Commodity Contracts
Gold Contracts
The Company’s primary source of revenue is gold that is denominated in US Dollars. To manage such risk, the Company may use various hedging strategies, including the use of put and call option contracts. Option contracts can also include put option contracts and call option contracts (collar structure), within a range of expiry dates and strike prices. The Company entered into gold prepay arrangements (see Gold Prepay Arrangements) that included gold contracts.

In the second quarter 2023, net earnings were higher due to a gain on sale of the Boto Gold Project.
In the third quarter 2024, net earnings from operations were higher due to the reversal of previous impairments in respect of the Westwood CGU, which includes the Doyon closed mine.
Revenues
Revenues were $477.1 million in the first quarter 2025 from sales of 174,000 ounces at an average realized gold price of $2,731 per ounce, higher by $138.2 million or 41% than the prior year period, due to the Côté Gold mine only commencing gold sales from the second quarter 2024, and a higher realized gold price, partially offset by lower sales volumes at Essakane and Westwood and the impact of gold deliveries into the prepay arrangements, including 31,000 ounces delivered at a forward price of $1,916 per ounce and 6,500 ounces delivered at a forward price of $1,753 per ounce.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales excluding depreciation was $256.2 million in the first quarter 2025, higher by $84.8 million or 49% than the prior year period, primarily due the Côté Gold mine only commencing gold sales from the second quarter 2024, and increased royalty payments due to higher realized gold prices.
Depreciation expense
Depreciation expense was $79.7 million in the first quarter 2025, higher by $17.9 million or 29% than the prior year period primarily due to the Côté Gold mine commencing operations from the second quarter 2024, and the reversal of previous impairments for the Westwood mine complex in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower production volumes and the amortization of deferred stripping assets at Essakane.
Exploration expense
Exploration expense was $6.6 million in the first quarter 2025, higher by $0.4 million or 6% than the prior year period due to increased exploration expenditures at Chibougamau District and Côté Gold.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense was $16.4 million in the first quarter 2025, higher by $6.4 million or 64% than the prior year period, primarily due to $6.4 million in restructuring and other administrative costs incurred in the period, and $0.5 million in higher share based compensation resulting from the rise in the Company’s share price, partially offset by $0.5 million in lower salaries and labour costs due to reductions in headcount at the corporate office over the past year.
Income tax expense
The Company is subject to tax in various jurisdictions, including Burkina Faso and Canada. There are a number of factors that can significantly impact the Company’s effective tax rate, including the geographic distribution of income, varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of tax assets, mining allowances, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in tax laws and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. Due to the number of factors that can potentially impact the effective tax rate and the sensitivity of the tax provision to these factors, it is expected that the Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate from one period to the next.
Income tax expense was $39.2 million in the first quarter 2025, higher by $12.2 million or 45% than the prior year period. It is comprised of a current income tax expense of $26.0 million and a deferred income tax expense of $13.2 million, lower than the prior year period for current income tax expense by $0.9 million or 3% and higher for deferred income tax expense by $13.1 million or 13,100%, respectively. The deferred income tax expense was higher primarily due to (i) the deferred tax liability for a taxable temporary difference associated with its investment in Essakane and (ii) the recognition of deferred taxes related to Côté Gold mining tax.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is communicated to senior management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under the rules of the Canadian Securities Administration, was conducted as at December 31, 2024, under the supervision of the Company’s Disclosure Committee and with the participation of management. Based on the results of that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 22 | ||||
and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2024, providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with securities legislation.
Since the December 31, 2024, evaluation, there have been no material changes to the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and their design remains effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in compliance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB;
•ensure the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and the Company’s directors; and
•provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions that could have a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including an evaluation of material changes that may have materially affected or are reasonably likely to have materially affected the internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, was conducted as of December 31, 2024 by the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on this evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
There have been no material changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could affect internal controls during the first quarter 2025 and their design remains effective.
Limitations of Control and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
CRITICAL JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions on, and estimates of effects 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 materially 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 effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. The critical judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of the Company's consolidated interim financial statements are reflected in note 3 of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Qualified Person and Technical Information
The technical and scientific information relating to exploration activities disclosed in this document was prepared under the supervision of and verified and reviewed by Marie-France Bugnon, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, IAMGOLD. Ms. Bugnon is a “qualified person” as defined by NI 43-101.
Data verification involves data input and review by senior project geologists at site, scheduled weekly and monthly reporting to senior exploration management and the completion of project site visits by senior exploration management to review the status of ongoing project activities and data underlying reported results. All drilling results for exploration projects or supporting resource and reserve estimates referenced in this MD&A have been previously reported in news release disclosures either by the Company or the project operator as the case may be (see referenced news releases) and have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. The sampling and assay data from drilling programs are monitored through the implementation of a quality assurance – quality control (QA-QC) program designed to follow industry best practice. Drill core (HQ and NQ size) samples are selected by the project geologists and sawn in half with a diamond saw at the project site. Half of the core is typically retained at the site for reference purposes. Generally, sample intervals are 1.0 to 1.5 metres in length and reverse circulation holes are sampled at 1.0 metre intervals at the drill rig. Samples are prepared and analyzed at site for the Company's producing mines and at accredited regional laboratories for the Company's exploration projects, using analysis techniques such as standard fire assay with a 50 gram charge; fire assay with gravimetric finish, or LeachWELL rapid cyanide leach with fire assay with a 50 gram charge.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For a discussion of new accounting standards adopted and new accounting standards issued but not yet effective that may impact the Company, refer to note 3 of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Readers of this MD&A should consider the information included or incorporated by reference in this document and the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The inherently volatile nature of the Company’s activities, the international geographies and emerging, undeveloped economies in which it operates mean that the Company’s business, operations and financial condition are generally exposed to significant risk factors, known and unknown, stable and unstable, many of which are beyond its control. Managing these risks is a key component of the Company’s business strategy and is supported by a risk management culture and an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) system. The Company’s view of risks is not static. An important component of the ERM approach is to identify evolving or emerging key risks, manage those risks and incorporate them into existing ERM assessment, measurement, monitoring and reporting processes. These practices are designed to ensure management is forward-looking in its assessment of risks. Identification of key risks occurs in the course of business activities, while pursuing approved strategies and as part of the execution of risk oversight responsibilities at the Management and Board of Directors levels.
Risks and uncertainties to the Company’s business, operations and financial condition that were identified by management as new or elevated in the first quarter 2025 are described above under “Market Risk” and below. Readers are cautioned that no ERM framework or system, including that employed by the Company, can ensure that all risks to the Company, at any point in time, are accurately identified, assessed as to significance or impact, managed or effectively controlled or mitigated. As such, there may be additional new or elevated risks to the Company in the first quarter 2025 that are not described above under “Market Risk” or below.
For a comprehensive discussion of the risk factors that may affect the Company, its business operations and financial performance, refer to the risk disclosure contained in the Company’s latest annual information form dated March 21, 2025 (“AIF”) and supplemented by the audited consolidated financial statements and the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedarplus.ca and filed under Form 40-F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
Global Economic Conditions, Tariffs and Uncertainties
The Company’s strategic plans and operations are affected by unforeseen geopolitical and global economic events such as escalation of ongoing or new armed conflicts, trade protectionism policies imposed by governments, national elections or changes in national administrations, and changes in forecasted inflation and foreign currency rates and/or economic growth. These variables directly impact the validity of the Company’s strategic plans with unforeseen changes in business, operating and market conditions potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Given these challenges, the Company faces risks associated with capital resources, organizational capacity, and the efficiency of its systems and processes, all of which could hinder the execution of its strategic plans.
A key aspect of these uncertainties is the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions. The fluid and evolving nature of trade protectionism—including global tariffs imposed by the United States in March and April 2025—adds further complexity to the Company's supply chain. The Company is actively reviewing its exposure to these tariffs and potential alternatives to affected input. However, uncertainty remains around whether additional tariffs or retaliatory measures will be introduced, the scope of such tariffs, and their direct and indirect effects. Other countries may also adopt protectionist policies including tariffs, trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures, imposing further constraints on the Company’s ability to procure goods and services. The Company continues to assess and implement measures to mitigate the adverse effects of economic uncertainties, tariffs, trade restrictions, and evolving geopolitical conditions on its operations, financial health, and overall profitability.
Political and Security Risk
The political and security environments in Burkina Faso and its neighboring countries is distressed and volatility remains elevated, including in the Sahel region where the Company’s Essakane mine is located. Burkina Faso and other neighboring countries in the region experienced military coups in the past couple of years. Stability in the West African region, generally, has been upended by military coups and led to near-total suspension of military assistance from France and the U.S. and exclusion of military governments in joint military task force with other West African countries formed to prevent militant attacks and threats from further spreading in the rest of the region. Militant attacks on and threats to supply chains and transit routes continue to increase economic challenges for the country. The security situation in Burkina Faso and its neighboring countries continues to apply pressures to supply chains, although with a reduced impact and no major business interruption in 2024 and the first quarter 2025. The Company continues to adjust its operating activities in response to the continued volatile security situation, as the safety and security of the Company’s personnel and physical assets are of paramount concern. There is an elevated risk to the
IAMGOLD CORPORATION First Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 24 | ||||
Company’s operations, assets, financial condition and personnel in Burkina Faso for the foreseeable future. Supply chains and transit routes in the region with neighboring countries remain particularly exposed to elevated risks of militant attacks.
The situation has placed the Government of Burkina Faso under significant financial constraint due to the high cost of funding its initiatives to defend itself against the militant attacks. The Government has not fully paid VAT refunds directly to the Company, and the Company has been selling its VAT receivables to local financial institutions, however, the Company has not been able to sell all of its VAT receivables and the inability of the Company to recover the VAT balances either through receiving VAT refunds or selling the VAT to third parties could place a significant constraint on the free cash flow produced which, in turn, could limit the amount of dividends that Essakane can pay. Given Essakane's significant contribution to the financial condition of the Company, any terrorist attack, change in legislation or ownership, problematic or adverse condition affecting mining, processing, infrastructure, equipment, labour, the supply chain, taxation, legal or reputational status could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, liquidity and capital resources. Security related costs, including demurrage fees, continue to place a significant burden on Essakane’s operating costs, with a potential for these expenses to escalate further. The Company cannot provide any assurance regarding when or if such costs might be reduced. The Company’s operations at Essakane accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s positive mine site free cash flow year in 2024 and the first quarter 2025.
Changes in Laws and Regulations
The Burkina Faso Government has implemented several amendments to the Mining Code to restructure the mining sector such as; the enforcement of the preferential dividend provision, which has been part of the Mining Code since 2015, but was never implemented; an increase in the State’s interest in mining companies’ share capital, from 10% to 15%; the requirement to open mining companies’ share capital to allow local investors to acquire an interest of at least 30% and an increase in gold royalties; among others. The new Mining Code was initially expected to maintain the validity of existing mining permits and associated mining conventions for their current term under the laws and regulations in force at the time of their issuance, until the renewal of the mining permits. However, it is anticipated that the Burkina Faso government may enforce the increased state participation and the mandated opening of the share capital to local investors for the Company’s existing mining operations at Essakane, on a compensated basis, earlier than the time of renewal of the Essakane mining permit in April 2028. The Company, along with other gold mining companies operating in Burkina Faso, is engaging with the Burkina Faso government to clarify and obtain regulatory certainty on these matters. Given Essakane's significant contribution to the Company’s financial condition, any further changes in laws and regulations or their interpretation and enforcement by courts or authorities could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Ramp-Up of Côté Gold
The current estimate, forecast or anticipated schedule and costs to ramp-up Côté Gold mine to bring it to its 100% nameplate production can be impacted by a wide variety of known and unknown, uncontrollable factors. These include unexpected production problems, variations in ore grade, equipment availability issues, supply chain disruptions, extreme weather conditions and labour or community disputes. The costs and time to complete the ramp-up and stabilize production at Côté Gold are substantial. Factors such as equipment not functioning consistently as designed or expected, increases in costs due to inflation, and productivity challenges, supply chain and logistics challenges, or other events that negatively impact commissioning schedule can materially negatively affect the planned timing of achieving nameplate production. Moreover, actual costs and economic returns from the Côté Gold mine may vary materially from the Company’s estimates or projections. Any deviation from expectations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations, and liquidity.
Equipment Malfunctions
The Company’s mines use expensive, large mining and processing equipment that requires a long time to procure, build and install. The Company’s various operations may encounter delays in or losses of production due to the delay in the delivery of equipment, key equipment or component malfunctions or breakdowns, damage to equipment through accident or misuse, including potential complete write-off of damaged units, or delay in the delivery or the lack of availability of spare parts, or lack of qualified or shortage of personnel at the regions where operations are located, which may impede maintenance activities on equipment and availability of equipment. In addition, equipment may be subject to aging if not replaced, or through inappropriate use or misuse, or improper storage conditions may become obsolete. These factors could adversely impact the Company’s operations, profitability and financial results.

NON-GAAP1 FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its consolidated interim financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:
•Average realized gold price per ounce sold
•Underground mining cost per ore tonne mined, open pit net mining cost per operating tonne mined, milling cost per tonne milled, and G&A cost per tonne milled
•Cash costs, cash costs per ounce sold, all in sustaining cost and all in sustaining cost per ounce sold
•Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders and adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders
•Net cash from operating activities, before movements in working capital and non-current ore stockpiles
•Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
•Mine-site free cash flow
•Sustaining and expansion capital expenditures
•Project expenditures
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-GAAP financial measures will provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Average Realized Gold Price per Ounce Sold
Average realized gold price per ounce sold is intended to enable management to understand the average realized price of gold sold in each reporting period after removing the impact of non-gold revenues and by-product credits, which, in the Company's case, are not significant and to enable investors to understand the Company’s financial performance based on the average realized proceeds of selling gold production in the reporting period.

2.Average realized gold price per ounce sold is calculated based on sales from the Company's Côté Gold mine at 70% and Westwood and Essakane mines at 100%.
3.Average realized gold price per ounce sold in the first quarter 2025 includes 37,500 ounces at $1,887 per ounce as delivered into the Q1 2024 Prepay Arrangements (2024 - 31,250 ounces at $1,994 per ounce as delivered in accordance with the 2022 Prepay Arrangement).
Underground Mining Cost per Ore Tonne Mined, Open Pit Net Mining Cost per Operating Tonne Mined, Milling Cost per Tonne Milled, and G&A Cost per Tonne Milled
Underground mining cost per ore tonne mined and open pit net mining cost per operating tonne mined are defined as:
•Mining costs (as included in production costs), that exclude capitalized waste stripping for open pit mines, less changes in stockpile balances and non-production costs as these costs are not directly related to tonnes mined, divided by
•the sum of the tonnage of ore and operating waste mined.
Milling cost per tonne milled and general and administrative cost per tonne milled are defined as:
•Mill and general and administrative costs (as included in production costs), excluding selling costs and non-production costs as these costs are not directly related to tonnes milled, divided by
•the tonnage of ore milled.
IAMGOLD believes these non-GAAP financial performance measures provide further transparency and assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing the performance of mining operations by eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per tonne measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in mining and/or processing levels. This inherent limitation may be partially mitigated by using this measure in conjunction with production costs and other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Cash Costs, Cash Costs per Ounce Sold, AISC and AISC per Ounce Sold
The Company reports cash costs, cash costs per ounce sold, AISC and AISC per ounce sold in order to provide investors with information about key measures used by management to monitor performance of mine sites in commercial production and its ability to generate positive cash flow.
Cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties, production taxes and realized derivative gains or losses, exclusive of depreciation, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation costs. AISC include cost of sales exclusive of depreciation expense, sustaining capital expenditures, which are required to maintain existing operations, capitalized exploration, sustaining lease principal payments, environmental rehabilitation accretion and depreciation, by-product credits and corporate general and administrative costs. These costs are then divided by the Company’s attributable gold ounces sold by mine sites in commercial production in the period to arrive at the cash costs per ounce sold and the AISC per ounce sold.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of cash costs, AISC, cost of sales excluding depreciation per ounce sold, cash costs per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold on an attributable basis to cost of sales as per the consolidated interim financial statements.

Sustaining and Expansion Capital Expenditures
Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures required to support current production levels at a mine site and exclude all expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature which result in a material increase in annual or life of mine gold ounce production, net present value, or reserves. The distinctions between sustaining and expansion capital used by the Company align with the guidelines set out by the World Gold Council. Expansion capital is capital expenditures incurred at new projects and capital expenditures related to major projects or expansion at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operations. This non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with transparency regarding the capital expenditures required to support the ongoing operations at its mines, relative to its total capital expenditures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization of finance costs) is an indicator of the Company’s ability to produce operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain impacts such as changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites, unrealized (gain) loss on non-hedge derivatives, impairment charges and reversal of impairment charges, write-down of assets and foreign exchange (gain) loss which are non-cash items and certain cash items that are non-recurring or temporary in nature as such items are not indicative of recurring operating performance. Management believes this additional information is useful to investors in understanding the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flow by excluding from the calculation these non-cash amounts and cash amounts that are not indicative of the recurring performance of the underlying operations for the periods presented.

Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Equity Holders
Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to equity holders represents net earnings (loss) attributable to equity holders excluding certain impacts, net of taxes, such as changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites, unrealized (gain) loss on non-hedge derivatives and warrants, impairment charges and reversal of impairment charges, write-down of assets and foreign exchange (gain) loss which are non-cash items and certain cash items that are non-recurring or temporary in nature as such items are not indicative of recurring operating performance. This measure is not necessarily indicative of net earnings (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS. Management believes this measure better reflects the Company’s performance for the current period and is a better indication of its expected performance in future periods. As such, the Company believes that this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s underlying performance.

Net Cash from Operating Activities before Changes in Working Capital
The Company makes reference to net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital which is calculated as net cash from operating activities less working capital items and non-current ore stockpiles. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including a build-up or reduction of inventories. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, which excludes these non-cash items, provides investors with the ability to better evaluate the operating cash flow performance of the Company.

Mine-Site Free Cash Flow
Mine-site free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from mine-site operating activities less capital expenditures from operating mine sites. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company's ability to operate its mine sites without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash.

4. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
On December 20, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Managem, S.A. to sell the Company’s interest in its exploration and development projects in Senegal, Mali and Guinea (the “Bambouk Assets”).

| Non-current provisions | 296.2 | 285.1 | |||||||||
| $ | 311.5 | $ | 299.6 | ||||||||
(a)Asset retirement obligations
The Company makes a provision based on the best estimate of the future cost of rehabilitating mine sites and related production facilities on a discounted basis. Asset retirement obligation provisions may be revised on the basis of amendments to such laws and regulations and the availability of new information, such as changes in reserves corresponding to a change in the life of mine, changes in discount rates, foreign exchange rates, approved closure plans, estimated costs of reclamation activities and acquisition or construction of a new mine. During Q1 2025, the asset retirement obligation provision increased due to changes in foreign exchange rates and discount rates.
11. Income Taxes
The Company estimates the effective tax rates expected to be applied for the full year and uses these rates to determine income tax provisions in interim periods. The impact of changes in judgments and estimates concerning the probable realization of losses, changes in tax rates, and foreign exchange rates are recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $39.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2024 - $27.0 million) and varied from the income tax expense calculated using the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory tax rate of 26.5%. The variance was mainly due to fluctuations for the recognition of certain tax benefits and related deferred tax assets and net foreign earnings taxed at different tax rates.
Global minimum top-up tax
The Company does not expect to be subject to any material amounts of top-up tax in respect of the global minimum tax for any of its entities for the foreseeable future.
The Company has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for any impacts of a top-up tax and will account for any such top-up tax as a current tax when incurred.
Excessive interest and financing expenses
With effect in 2024, Canada imposed restrictions on the deductibility for income tax purposes of excessive interest and financing expenses (“EIFEL”). In light of (a) the significant tax pool balances available to the Company and (b) the carryforward deductibility of any such EIFEL limitations in a given year, the EIFEL proposals are not expected to represent a tax cash exposure for the foreseeable future.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements – March 31, 2025 | 48 | ||||
The Credit Facility provides for an interest rate margin above Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) prime rate, base rate advances and CORRA advances which vary, together with fees related thereto, according to the total Net Debt to Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") ratio of the Company. The Credit Facility is secured by certain of the Company's real assets, guarantees by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and pledges of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The key terms of the Credit Facility include certain limitations on incremental debt, certain restrictions on distributions and financial covenants including Net Debt to EBITDA and Interest Coverage and a minimum liquidity requirement of $150 million. The Company was in compliance with its Credit Facility covenants as at March 31, 2025.
(b)5.75% senior notes ("Notes")
On September 23, 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $450 million aggregate principal amount of Notes with an interest rate of 5.75% per annum. The Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and mature on October 15, 2028. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2021. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $7.5 million which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Notes within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method.
The Company has the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the relevant redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Notes during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of each of the following years is: 2025 - 101.438%; 2026 and thereafter - 100%.
The prepayment options are options that represent an embedded derivative asset to the Company and are presented as an offset to the Notes on the consolidated balance sheets.
The debt component is recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The embedded derivative is classified as a financial asset at FVTPL. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at March 31, 2025 was $nil (December 31, 2024 - $nil).
(c)Second lien term loan ("Term Loan")
On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into a five year secured Term Loan of $400 million from three institutional lenders. The Term Loan has a 3% original issue discount, bears interest at a floating interest rate of either one month or three month SOFR + 8.25% per annum and matures on May 16, 2028. The loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, and interest is payable upon each SOFR maturity date.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $11.0 million, in addition to the 3% original discount, which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Term Loan within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method.
The obligations under the Term Loan are secured by certain of the Company's tangible assets, guarantees by certain of the Company's subsidiaries, and pledges of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The liens securing the Term Loan rank behind the liens securing the Credit Facility and are subject to an intercreditor agreement.
The Term Loan can be repaid at any time and has a make-whole premium, that is comprised of the discounted value of lost interest and 104% of the principal if repaid in the first two years. The make-whole premium expires after two years and the loan can be repaid at any time for 104% of the principal if repaid between June 2025 and May 2026, and 101% of the principal if repaid between June 2026 and May 2027 and 100% thereafter. The prepayment terms constitute an embedded derivative which is presented as an offset to the Term Loan on the consolidated balance sheets. The embedded derivative is classified as FVTPL. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at March 31, 2025 was an asset of $24.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $26.7 million) (note 16(a)).
The Term Loan has a minimum liquidity and interest coverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with its Term Loan covenants as at March 31, 2025.
(d)Equipment loans
The Company has equipment loans with a carrying value of $1.8 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $2.1 million), secured by certain mobile equipment, with interest rates at 5.30% and which mature in 2026. The equipment loans are carried at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets.
(e)Surety bonds
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had CAD$255.8 million (March 31, 2025 - $177.9 million; December 31, 2024 ‐ CAD$255.7 million, $177.5 million) of surety bonds, issued pursuant to arrangements with insurance companies, for guarantee of environmental closure costs obligations related to Doyon, the Westwood mine and the Côté Gold mine. The Company posted letters of credit in the amount of CAD$10.6 million ($7.4 million, December 31, 2024 - CAD$10.6 million, $7.4 million) under the Credit Facility and $6.5 million (December 31, 2024 - $10.9 million) in cash deposits as collateral for surety bonds. The balance of $164.0 million remains uncollateralized.
IAMGOLD CORPORATION Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements – March 31, 2025 | 49 | ||||
(f)Performance bonds
As at March 31, 2025, performance bonds of CAD$32.1 million (March 31, 2025 - $22.3 million; December 31, 2024 - CAD$32.0 million, $22.2 million) were outstanding in support of certain obligations related to the construction of the Côté Gold mine.
14. Deferred Revenue
During 2021, the Company entered into gold sale prepayment arrangements (the “2022 Prepay Arrangements”) at a weighted average cost of 4.45% per annum in respect of 150,000 gold ounces. These arrangements have an average forward contract price of $1,753 per ounce on 50,000 gold ounces and a collar range of $1,700 to $2,100 per ounce on 100,000 gold ounces. The Company received $236.0 million over the course of 2022 under the 2022 Prepay Arrangements and the requirement on the part of the Company is to physically deliver the agreed upon ounces to the counterparties over the course of 2024.
During December 2023, the Company amended one of the 2022 Prepay Arrangements to defer the delivery of 6,250 ounces from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025. The ounces that were deferred were previously funded at a price of $1,753 per ounce. The Company also entered into further gold sale prepayment arrangements (the “2024 Q1 Prepay Arrangements”) at a weighted average cost of 11.3% per annum in respect of 31,250 gold ounces. These arrangements have an average funding price, after financing charges, of $1,916 per ounce. The Company received $59.9 million over the course of the first quarter 2024 under the 2024 Q1 Prepay Arrangements and was required to physically deliver the agreed upon ounces to the counterparties over the course of the first quarter of 2025. All deliveries on the 2024 Q1 Prepay Arrangements were fulfilled as at March 31, 2025 and 6,250 ounces were physically delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2025 in relation to the 2022 Prepay Arrangements.
During April 2024, the Company amended one of the 2022 Prepay Arrangements to defer the delivery of 6,250 ounces from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025. The ounces that are deferred were previously funded at a price of $1,753 per ounce. The Company also entered into further gold sale prepayment arrangements (the “2024 Q2 Prepay Arrangements”) at a weighted average cost of 10% per annum in respect of 31,250 gold ounces. These arrangements have an average funding price, after financing charges, of $1,900 per ounce. These arrangements have a gold collar of $2,100 to $2,925 whereby the Company will receive a cash payment at the time of delivery of the ounces if the spot price of gold exceeds $2,100 per ounce, with the payment calculated as the difference between the spot price and $2,100 per ounce, capped at an average price of $2,925 per ounce. The Company received $59.4 million over the course of the second quarter 2024 under the 2024 Q2 Prepay Arrangements and is required to physically deliver the agreed upon ounces to the counterparties over the course of the second quarter of 2025.
These arrangements have been accounted for as contracts in the scope of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, whereby the cash prepayments are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when received and revenue is recognized as deliveries are made. The cash payments received on gold collars at the time of delivery will also be recognized as revenue when the gold is delivered.
An interest cost, representing the financing component of the cash prepayment, was recognized as part of finance costs.

15. Financial Instruments
(a)Risks
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial and other liabilities that are settled by delivering cash, another financial asset or physical production. The Company manages this risk through regular monitoring of its cash flow requirements to support ongoing operations and expansionary plans. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its anticipated business requirements, taking into account anticipated cash flows from operations and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents and loan facilities available to meet its anticipated short-term obligations.

16. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which the entity can access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as those derived from prices.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
There have been no changes in the classification of the financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2024.

(a)Flow-through common shares
In February 2025, the Company issued 0.8 million flow-through common shares at CAD$12.25 per share for net proceeds of $6.9 million (CAD$10.0 million), which included a $1.8 million premium reported as a deferred gain on the balance sheet to be recognized in earnings as eligible expenditures are made. A total of $5.1 million was recognized in equity based on the quoted price of the shares on the date of the issue less issuance costs. The flow-through common shares were issued to fund exploration expenditures for the Company's exploration properties in Quebec, Canada. Flow-through common shares require the Company to incur an amount equivalent to the proceeds of the issue on prescribed expenditures in accordance with the applicable tax legislation. As at March 31, 2025, the remaining unspent amount was $5.3 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $0.5 million was recognized as amortization of the gains related to the issuances of flow-through common shares and was included in interest income and derivatives and other investment gains in the consolidated statements of earnings (note 22).
