"Our third quarter results highlight the essence of Goldcorp's investment proposition: growing gold production, declining all-in sustaining costs and decreasing capital spending resulting in strong, sustained free cash flow, despite lower metals prices," said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Record quarterly gold production, successful cost containment efforts and the wind-down of a capital investment program that has brought two high-quality gold mines into commercial production this year contributed to quarterly free cash flow of $243 million.  The benefit of managing a strong portfolio of mines was illustrated in the quarter as good results at Peñasquito, Cerro Negro and Musselwhite more than offset lower-than-expected production from Éléonore as the mine continues to ramp up.  As a result, we remain on track to meet the upper end of our production guidance of between 3.3 and 3.6 million ounces at all-in sustaining costs of between $850 and $900 per ounce.  Our focus over the balance of 2015 and into 2016 is on vigilant management of our costs in the current gold price environment, successful replacement of mined gold reserves and the prudent allocation of free cash flow to fortify our already-strong balance sheet and fund the next wave of Goldcorp's promising organic growth opportunities."

Financial Review

Third quarter gold sales were 942,600 ounces at an average realized gold price of $1,114 per ounce on production of 922,200 ounces, compared to sales of 641,400 ounces at an average realized gold price of $1,266 per ounce on production of 651,700 ounces for the third quarter of 2014. Silver production totaled 11.3 million ounces compared to 7.8 million ounces in the prior year's third quarter.  All-in sustaining costs were $848 per ounce of gold for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1,066 per ounce in the third quarter of 2014.   Excluding non-cash inventory impairments at Los Filos and Peñasquito, all-in sustaining costs for the third quarter of 2015 would have been $802 per ounce.

Adjusted revenues for the third quarter totaled $1.3 billion.  The reported net loss attributable to shareholders of Goldcorp for the third quarter was $192 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to a net loss of $44 million, or $0.05 per share, for the third quarter of 2014.  Adjusted net loss for the third quarter totaled $37 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $70 million, or $0.09 per share, for the third quarter of 2014. 

The adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2015 primarily excludes the unrealized losses from the foreign exchange translation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities ($158 million, or $0.19 per share). The adjusted net loss includes the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses which amounted to approximately $14 million, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter.  Adjusted operating cash flow for the third quarter was $374 million, compared to $399 million for the third quarter of 2014. 

Canada

At Éléonore in Quebec, third quarter safe gold production totaled 86,700 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $974 per ounce.  Production increased over the prior quarter as a result of the expansion of underground mining from two to four horizons, in addition to successful mine optimization initiatives.  Stoping productivity and mining flexibility continued to improve, contributing to higher underground mine tonnage quarter over quarter.  Throughput during the quarter averaged 6,500 tonnes per day.  While recoveries in the third quarter were impacted by the presence of iron sulphides in certain production stopes, metallurgical studies are underway that are expected to minimize the effect on future recoveries.    

As previously reported on September 8, 2015, initial production stopes at Éléonore are encountering folding and faulting resulting in higher dilution and therefore lower than planned mined grades and gold production. The folding is of varying intensities and is estimated to affect approximately 10% of the overall Éléonore deposit.  The Éléonore team continues to work on adjusting stope designs to minimize these impacts. 

Work on the Éléonore crown pillar pre-feasibility study continued to advance during the third quarter.  Major activities included the successful completion of summer field work, underground and surface infrastructure and stope sequencing determination of the dike location, and permitting and stakeholder engagement efforts.  The pre-feasibility study is on track to be completed by the end of 2015. 

Safe gold production at Red Lake in Ontario in the third quarter totaled 77,600 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,028 per ounce.  Production decreased over the prior quarter as a result of lower grades from remnant pillar mining at the Campbell Complex, the acceleration of development in the Sulphide Zones and lower-than-expected grades in the Footwall Zone.  An exploration drift to access the HG Young discovery at depth continued to advance north on the 14 Level at the Campbell Complex.  The drift provides a new platform for follow-up drilling down plunge of positive intercepts from the ongoing surface exploration program at HG Young. 

At Cochenour, exploration drilling continued to assess the core area of the deposit as well as at the tram level, where there have been changes in the orientation of the veins from prior interpretations. Detailed interpretation and analysis is ongoing to support final mine planning and infrastructure. Processing of mill feed from the initial sill-development work was consistent with expectations. Work is ongoing to define the timing of initial stope production and ramp up of Cochenour feed for processing at Red Lake.

At Porcupine in Ontario, safe gold production for the third quarter was 71,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $882 per ounce.  Production decreased over the prior quarter due to lower gold grades, driven primarily by the mining of lower-grade stopes at the Hoyle Pondunderground,  partially offset by higher tonnage milled as a result of improved mill operations during the quarter.   The Hoyle Deep project, which will enable efficient access to lower portions of the Hoyle Pond deposit, continued to progress and remains on track to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2016.  At the Hollinger open pit, the environmental control berm was completed in mid-October, enabling mining to take place 24 hours a day. 

At the Borden project 160 kilometres west of Porcupine, studies are underway to determine the optimization of a combined Borden-Porcupine operation.  Options to access the deposit from underground are currently being evaluated in preparation for permit applications.  Surface diamond drilling continued during the third quarter with seven drills on site.  The current exploration activity in this new gold district remains focused on in-fill drilling with a target to convert a portion of the resources into reserves at the end of 2015.

Safe gold production at Musselwhite in Ontario increased over the prior quarter to 71,000 ounces as a result of higher mill throughput and increased grades.  Musselwhite's all-in sustaining cost continued to be among the lowest in the portfolio at $697 per ounce.  The focus of the exploration program during the third quarter was on reserve replacement. Drilling concluded late in the third quarter on the West Limb zone and the Upper Lynx zone with positive results showing continuity of mineralization in both areas.  All critical exploration development for the year is complete.

Latin America

At Peñasquito in Mexico, safe gold production totaled 236,800 ounces for the quarter at an all-in sustaining cost of $467 per ounce.  Production was driven primarily by higher gold grades in sulphide as a result of positive model reconciliation.  In light of continued strong performance, production at Peñasquito will exceed 2015 guidance of between 700,000 and 750,000 ounces.

Construction of the Northern Well Field ("NWF") remained suspended throughout the third quarter of 2015 due to an illegal blockade by a local community.  Peñasquito continues to seek a fair resolution of this matter with the community, while taking steps to enforce its contractual rights. Peñasquito is also advancing alternatives for completion of the project without crossing through the affected community lands.  Contingency planning is ongoing for fresh water supply to the Peñasquito mine until the NWF project is operational.  The Company believes that there will be timely resolution of this matter to meet the future water needs of Peñasquito.

The Metallurgical Enhancement Project ("MEP") feasibility study continued, which included completion of pilot testing, confirming capital estimates and concentrate marketing studies.  The feasibility study remains on schedule to be completed in early 2016.    

At the Camino Rojo project, ongoing pre-feasibility study work is focused on the evaluation of Camino Rojo as a supplemental source of sulphide feed to the existing Peñasquito facility, in addition to a smaller, stand-alone oxide heap leach facility.  An update of the geologic model continued during the third quarter and metallurgical testing of sulphide, transition and oxide zones is ongoing.  The pre-feasibility study is on track to be completed in 2016.

Safe gold production at Los Filos in Mexico for the third quarter of 2015 totaled 70,300 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,442 per ounce.  Increased production over the prior quarter was a result of higher ore processed.   The 2015 exploration program to enhance deeper phases of the El Bermejal pit and extend high grade zones for underground mining was completed.  A new life-of-mine plan is progressing with a focus to maximize return on investment in the current lower price metals environment and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

At Cerro Negro in Argentina, third quarter safe gold production totaled 135,700 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $731 per ounce, driven by the continued strong ramp-up at both the Mariana Central and Eureka mines.  Total tonnes milled increased resulting in an average throughput rate of 3,697 tonnes per day for the quarter.  Average milling rates for September surpassed the nameplate capacity of 4,000 tonnes per operating day.  Exploration in the third quarter continued to focus on surface resource confirmation drilling.  The current drilling program is progressing as planned, expanding resources at the Marianas Complex, particularly at the newly-discovered Emilia vein. The Bajo Negro expansion was completed in the third quarter and the results will be included within the year-end resource update. 

On September 30, 2015, a work stoppage took place at Cerro Negro by miners represented by the Asociacion Obrera Minera Argentina, Province of Santa Cruz.  All work activity resumed on October 5, 2015 following the declaration of a mandatory minimum 15-day conciliation period by the Santa Cruz Provincial Secretariat of Labour.  Subsequent to the expiration of the conciliation period productive negotiations continue.  The Company remains committed to working cooperatively with union representatives and government authorities on a fair and equitable resolution.

At the Pueblo Viejo joint venture in the Dominican Republic, Goldcorp's share of third quarter safe gold and silver production totaled 115,000 ounces and 502,700 ounces, respectively, at an all-in sustaining cost of $585 per ounce.  Gold production increased over the prior quarter as a result of higher tonnes processed, grades and recoveries.  Silver production increased primarily due to higher recoveries.  Tonnage processed was higher in the third quarter due to the prior quarter being impacted by autoclave and counter current decantation thickener maintenance.  Silver recoveries were higher due to the shut-down of the lime boil tanks during autoclave maintenance in the prior quarter. 

At El Morro in Chile, an agreement was reached with Teck on August 27, 2015 to combine the El Morro and Relincho projects into a 50/50 joint venture. In addition, an agreement was reached with New Gold to acquire New Gold's 30% interest in the El Morro project for $90 million in cash upon closing, and a 4% gold stream on future gold production from the El Morro property. Closing of both transactions is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015.  The project will undertake extensive engagement with communities and other stakeholders to help guide the project's development. In combination with community consultation, a pre-feasibility study is expected to commence in mid-2016.

2015 Guidance Outlook

The Company today reconfirmed 2015 production guidance, expected to be at the upper-end of between 3.3 and 3.6 million gold ounces.  All-in sustaining costs are expected to be between $850 and $900 per gold ounce; $500 and $550 per ounce on a by-product basis; and$625 to $675 per ounce on a co-product basis.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") will increase to $450 per gold ounce from the previous guidance of $425 per gold ounce due primarily to production coming from our newer and higher DD&A per ounce sites and additional assets placed in service earlier than anticipated.  Capital spending guidance remains unchanged at between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion for 2015.  Corporate administration expense guidance, excluding share-based compensation, is expected to be approximately $170 million in 2015. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange on current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and excluding the dilution and disposition gains on the sale of mining interests and the related taxes, the Company continues to expect an annual effective tax rate on adjusted earnings subject to income tax of 45% in 2015.

The Company has included non-GAAP performance measures on an attributable (or Goldcorp's share) basis throughout this document. Attributable performance measures include the Company's mining operations, including its discontinued operation, and projects, and the Company's share of Alumbrera and Pueblo Viejo. The Company believes that disclosing certain performance measures on an attributable basis is a more relevant measurement of the Company's operating and economic performance, and reflects the Company's view of its core mining operations. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow; however, these performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Refer to note 10 of the Q3 2015 Financial Statements for a reconciliation of adjusted revenues to reported revenues.

Adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted operating cash flows per share are non-GAAP performance measures which comprises Goldcorp's share of operating cash flows before working capital changes and which the Company believes provides additional information about the Company's ability to generate cash flows from its mining operations. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to page 42 of the Q3 2015 MD&A for a reconciliation of adjusted operating cash flows to reported net cash provided by operating activities.

  

(3)

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP performance measure which the Company believes, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cashflows. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flows are calculated by deducting from net cash provided by operating activities, Goldcorp's share of expenditures on mining interests, deposits on mining interest expenditures and capitalized interest paid, and adding Goldcorp's share of net cash provided by operating activities from Alumbrera and Pueblo Viejo. Refer to page 42 of the Q3 2015 MD&A for a reconciliation of free cash flows to reported net cash provided by operating activities.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to page 41 of the Q3 2015 MD&A for a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings (loss) to reported net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of Goldcorp.

  

(5)

For 2014, the Company adopted an "all-in sustaining cost" non-GAAP performance measure that the Company believes more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold. All-in sustaining costs include by-product cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, exploration and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, new project capital is not included in the calculation. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company reports this measure on a sales basis. Refer to page 39 of the Q3 2015 MD&A for a reconciliation of all-in sustaining costs.
