Barrick Gold Q4 results beat estimates

16 February 2023 By Klavs Valters

Share

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) released the latest financial results for Q4 2022 on Wednesday.

The Canadian mining company beat both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) for a second consecutive quarter.

Barrick Gold reported revenue of $2.726 billion for the quarter vs. $2.674 billion expected.

EPS reported at $0.128 per share vs. $0.111 EPS estimate.

The company also announced a dividend of $0.10 per share for Q4 2022.

”Our continued success in not only replenishing but also unlocking significant value in our asset base shows the unmatched potential of our organic growth pipeline,” CEO of Barrick, Mark Bristow said in a press release.

”A stronger Q4 operational performance, notably from Cortez and Carlin in Nevada, Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic and Tongon in Côte d’Ivoire, contributed to annual gold production of more than 4.1 million ounces in a year impacted by infrastructural issues at Turquoise Ridge in Nevada and the replacement of the rock winder at Kibali in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Copper production from Lumwana in Zambia and Jabal Sayid in Saudi Arabia was well within guidance.”

The company also announced another share buyback program: ”Barrick returned a record $1.6 billion to shareholders in 2022 through dividends and share buybacks and has announced a further share buyback program of up to $1 billion for the next twelve months.”

Stock reaction

The stock was down by around 3% at the open in the US at $17.22 as share.
