production from the prior quarter.
• Increased quarterly production from all sites, including record gold production from Haile.
• All-In Sustaining Cost† improved to $1,729 per ounce, based on 124,800 ounces sold.
• Net Profit of $61 million and EPS of $0.08 (Adjusted EPS† of $0.09).
• EBITDA margin of 45%.
• Achieved Free Cash Flow† inflection point with $66 million generated during the quarter,
• Repaid $40 million on the credit facility during the quarter and $25 million in October.
• Repurchased $7.8 million of common shares, under the share buy back program.
• Net Cash† increased to $72 million at September 30, 2024.
• Expect to deliver a strong fourth quarter, with consolidated gold production between
142,000 and 162,000 ounces and consolidated AISC between $1,400 and $1,650 per ounce in
the quarter.
Gerard Bond, President and CEO of OceanaGold, said "We are pleased to have delivered higher gold
production in the quarter, with Haile delivering a record 64,900 ounces. Record high gold prices helped
drive an increase in Free Cash Flow generation of nearly $100 million year to date, which allowed us to
continue to strengthen the balance sheet and increase capital returns to our shareholders.
Looking ahead, the fourth quarter should be our strongest of the year and we expect to continue to
generate substantial Free Cash Flow. This will enable us to continue to advance our organic growth
opportunities, such as the Waihi North Project, while also delivering returns for our shareholders."

Non-IFRS Financial Information
Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) per share
These are used by Management to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company.
Management believes these measures provide information that is useful to investors because they are
important indicators of the strength of the Company’s operations and the performance of its core
business. Accordingly, such measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) is calculated as Net Profit/(Loss) less the impact of impairment expenses,
write-downs, foreign exchange (gains)/losses, gain on sale of assets, OGP listing costs and restructuring
costs related to transitioning certain corporate activities from Australia to Canada.
Prior to the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) was calculated using an adjustment for a
specific portion of unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses rather than the total foreign exchange
gain/loss. The comparative quarters have been recalculated adjusting for all foreign exchange gains/
losses.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss)
per share:

Adjusted earnings per share 0.09 0.04 0.00 0.14 0.16
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company’s Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of its ability to
generate liquidity by producing operating cash flows to fund working capital needs, service debt
obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA less the impact of impairment
expenses, write-downs, gains/losses on disposal of assets, listing costs, foreign exchange gains/losses
and other non-recurring costs.
Prior to the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was calculated using an adjustment for a specific
portion of unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses rather than the total foreign exchange gain/loss. The
comparative quarters have been recalculated adjusting for all foreign exchange gains/losses.

Cash Costs and AISC
Cash Costs are a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry; however, it has no
standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to monitor the performance of its mining
operations and its ability to generate positive cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall
company basis. Cash Costs include mine site operating costs plus indirect taxes and selling cost net of
by-product sales and are then divided by ounces sold. In calculating Cash Costs, the Company includes
copper and silver by -product credits as it considers the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of
the by-product sales incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing Management and other
stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash
flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.
Management believes that the AISC measure provides additional insight into the costs of producing gold
by capturing all of the expenditures required for the discovery, development and sustaining of gold
production and allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures to sustain future
production from the generation of operating cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall
company basis, while maintaining current production levels. Management believes that, in addition to
conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to
evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow per ounce sold. AISC is calculated
as the sum of cash costs, capital expenditures and exploration costs that are sustaining in nature and
corporate G&A costs. AISC is divided by ounces sold to arrive at AISC per ounce.
