Q1 2018 FINANCIAL REPORT

ALAMOS GOLD INC.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited - in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, tables stated in millions of United States dollars)
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos"), a company incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. The Company owns and operates the Young-Davidson and Island Gold mines in Canada, as well as the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico. In addition, the Company owns the Ağı Dağı, Kirazlı and Çamyurt gold development projects in Turkey, the Lynn Lake gold project in Canada, the Esperanza gold project in Mexico, as well as an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Quartz Mountain gold project in Oregon, USA.
Alamos is a publicly traded company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI).
The Company’s registered office is located at 181 Bay St, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except as noted below.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Company adopted the following accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2018:
The Company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") as of January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 covers principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a modified retroactive approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially adopting IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet through equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 Revenue ("IAS 18"). The details of accounting policy changes and the quantitative impact of these changes are described below.
IFRS 15 requires that revenue from contracts with customers be recognized upon the transfer of control over goods or services to the customer. The recognition of revenue upon transfer of control to the customer is consistent with the recognition of revenue under the criteria in our revenue recognition policy as set out in Note 2 of the 2017 consolidated financial statements, as the condition is generally satisfied when title transfers to the customer. As such, upon adoption, this requirement under IFRS 15 resulted in no impact to the consolidated financial statements as the timing of revenue recognition on gold sales is unchanged.
The Company has adopted IFRIC Interpretation 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. The interpretation clarifies which date should be used for translation when a foreign currency transaction involves an advance payment or receipt. The Company has evaluated the impact of applying IFRIC 22, and has concluded that the adoption of the standard had no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Future accounting standard changes, not effective as of March 31, 2018:
IFRS 16, Leases, specifies the methodology to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. This standard substantially carries forward

Q1 2018 FINANCIAL REPORT

the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17, while requiring enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. Other areas of the lease accounting model have been impacted, including the definition of a lease. Transitional provisions have been provided. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 16 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company has initiated a plan to analyze leases to determine the impact of adopting IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 1, 2018.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values of financial instruments
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements as at March 31, 2018. Levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the net asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The methods of measuring financial assets and liabilities has not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The fair value of option and forwards (gold and currency) contracts are determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market. These are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.
Equity Securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company disposed of its investment in AuRico Metals as it was acquired by a third party for CAD$1.80 per share. The Company received $22.2 million in proceeds on its investment, resulting in a gain of $13.7 million, based on an average cost of CAD$0.72 per share. In addition, the Company disposed of its position in Corex for $2.7 million or CAD$0.13 per share, resulting in a gain of $0.6 million, based on an average cost of CAD$0.10 per share. The tax impact of these gains were $1.8 million. These gains were transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income to deficit.

Revolving Credit Facility
On September 21, 2017, the Company amended and increased its existing undrawn revolving credit facility (the "Facility") from $150.0 million to $400.0 million. The maturity date of the Facility has been extended to September 20, 2021. The amended Facility bears interest at an interest rate of Libor plus 2.00% to 3.125% on drawn amounts and stand-by fees of 0.45% to 0.70% on undrawn amounts, based on the Company's net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.
The Facility is secured against all of the material present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales and liens. It contains financial covenant tests that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.0 and (b) a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0, both as defined in the agreement. As at March 31, 2018, the Company is in compliance with the covenants and the Facility is fully undrawn.
The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million to amend the Facility. These costs are amortized into net earnings over the term of the Facility.

Currency derivative instruments
The Company enters into option and forward contracts to economically hedge against the risk of an increase in the value of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus the US dollar. These option and forward contracts are for the purchase of local currencies and the sale of US dollars, which settle on a monthly basis, and the Company believes this is an appropriate manner of managing currency risk.
As of January 1, 2018, the Company has designated options and forwards as cash flow hedges for the highly probable Canadian dollar and Mexican peso purchases. These derivatives meet the hedge effectiveness criteria and are designated in a hedge accounting relationship as a result of the following factors:
An economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, as notional amounts match and both the hedged item and hedging instrument fair values move in response to the same risk (foreign exchange rates). Cash flows in relation to the designated hedged item and hedging instrument are matched since the foreign currency option and forward contracts (hedging instrument) matures during the same month as the expected operational cash flows (hedged item) is incurred. The correlation between the foreign exchange rate of the hedged item and the hedging instrument is highly correlated and closely aligned as the maturity and the notional amount are the same.
The hedge ratio is one to one for this hedging relationship, as the hedged item is foreign currency risk that is hedged with a foreign currency hedging instrument using one unit of both the hedged and hedging item respectively.
Credit risk is not material in the fair value of the hedging relationship.
The Company has identified two sources of potential ineffectiveness: 1) the timing of cash flow differences between the expenditure and the related derivative and 2) the inclusion of credit risk in the fair value of the derivative not replicated in the hedged item. The Company expects the impact of these sources of hedge ineffectiveness to be minimal. The timing of hedge settlements and incurred expenditures are closely aligned, as they are expected to occur within 30 days of each other. As noted above, credit risk is not a material component of the fair value of the Company’s hedging instruments, as all counterparties are reputable Canadian banking institutions and are highly rated.
The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2018 recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is:
