NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For three and six months ended June 30, 2019
(Amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
New Gold Inc. (“New Gold” or the “Company”) is an intermediate gold mining company engaged in the development and operation of mineral properties. The assets of the Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, are comprised of the Rainy River Mine in Canada (“Rainy River”), the New Afton Mine in Canada (“New Afton”) and the Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico (“Cerro San Pedro”). The Company also owns the Blackwater project in Canada (“Blackwater”).
 
The Company is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American under the symbol NGD.
 
The Company’s registered office is located at 1100 Melville Street, Suite 610, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6, Canada.
 
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a) Statement of compliance
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies are presented as Note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except as noted below in “Changes in accounting policies”.
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 31st, 2019.
 
(b) Changes in accounting policies
 
Leases
On January 6, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”). This standard specifies the methodology to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases.  The effective date is for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
 
The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 is recognized as an adjustment to equity at the date of initial application. Comparative figures are not restated to reflect the adoption of IFRS 16. Additionally, the Company has adopted the exemption for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and for leases that are low value. Given that the Company’s existing operating leases are not material, no adjustment to equity has been recognized upon IFRS 16 adoption on January 1, 2019.

7


 

(c) Revisions to prior period comparatives
 
In the first quarter of 2019 the Company identified an immaterial error relating to its deferred tax liabilities. The result of this error is an increase to income tax expense and deferred tax liabilities of $14.8 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018. The resulting understatement of the deferred tax liabilities balance and the deficit balance of $14.8 million as at December 31, 2018 has been revised in the comparative condensed consolidated statement of financial position. There has been no change to the comparative condensed consolidated income statements or the comparative condensed consolidated statement of cash flow.

8. IMPAIRMENT
 
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies, the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is estimated when an indication of impairment exists. As at June 30, 2018, indicators of impairment existed at the Rainy River CGU.
 
The Company completed an updated Rainy River life-of-mine plan (“LOM”) and released an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for Rainy River in August 2018. The updated LOM contained updated per unit costs, changes to the sequencing in gold production and a less than 3% reduction in gold production over the LOM. The updated LOM incorporated changes to open pit design and extraction sequencing, resulting in higher ore tonnes mined and processed at a lower average gold grade. The Company identified the changes to the LOM and increased cost estimates at Rainy River as indicators of impairment as at June 30, 2018.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an after-tax impairment loss of $282.1 million within net loss, as noted below:

The interest margin on drawings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.25% to 3.75% over LIBOR, the Prime Rate or the Base Rate, based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio and the currency and type of credit selected by the Company. Based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio, the rate is 3.25% over LIBOR as at June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – 3.25%). The standby fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility range from 0.51% to 0.84%, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio, the rate is 0.73% as at June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – 0.73%).
 
As at June 30, 2019, letters of credit amounting to $114.8 million have been issued through the Credit Facility (December 31, 2018 - $110.8 million). Letters of credit relate to reclamation bonds, and other financial assurances required with various government agencies.

10. GOLD STREAM OBLIGATION
 
In 2015, the Company entered into a $175 million streaming transaction with RGLD Gold AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (“Royal Gold”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will deliver to Royal Gold 6.5% of gold production from Rainy River up to a total of 230,000 ounces of gold and then 3.25% of the mine’s gold production thereafter. The Company will also deliver to Royal Gold 60% of the mine’s silver production to a maximum of 3.1 million ounces and then 30% of silver production thereafter. Royal Gold paid $175.0 million in consideration of this transaction.
 
In addition to the upfront deposit, Royal Gold will pay 25% of the average spot gold or silver price at the time each ounce of gold or silver is delivered under the stream. The difference between the spot price of metal and the cash received from Royal Gold will reduce the $175.0 million deposit over the life of the mine. Upon expiry of the 40‐year term of the agreement (which may be extended in certain circumstances), any balance of the $175.0 million upfront deposit remaining unpaid will be refunded to Royal Gold.
 
The Company has designated the gold stream obligation as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) under the scope of IFRS 9. Accordingly, the Company values the liability at the present value of its expected future cash flows at each reporting period with changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The gold stream obligation contained a maximum leverage ratio covenant (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 3.5 : 1.0 as at June 30, 2019.
 
The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s gold stream obligation:

11. LEASES
 
The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 is recognized as an adjustment to equity at the date of initial application. Comparative figures are not restated to reflect the adoption of IFRS 16. Additionally, the Company adopted the exemption for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and for leases that are low value. As the Company’s operating leases were not material, no adjustment to equity was recognized upon IFRS 16 adoption on January 1, 2019.
 
(a) Right-of-use assets

(b)  Copper price option contracts
 
In December 2018, the Company entered into copper price option contracts by purchasing put options at an average strike price of $2.50 per pound and selling call options at an average strike price of $3.00 per pound for 21,600 tonnes (approximately 47.6 million pounds) of copper production during 2019. The Company entered into these contracts at no premium and therefore incurred no investment costs upon initiation.
 
The call options sold and put options purchased are treated as derivative financial instruments and marked-to-market at each reporting period on the consolidated statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other gains and losses. Realized gains and losses as a result of the exercise of the Company’s call and put options up to an amount not exceeding the Company’s production of copper pounds for the reporting period are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. The exercise of options on copper pounds in excess of the Company’s copper production for the reporting period are recorded as other gains and losses.

The Company entered into these contracts at no premium and therefore incurred no investment costs upon initiation.
 
Consistent with the accounting treatment of the copper price option contracts described above, the call options sold and put options purchased are treated as derivative financial instruments and marked to market at each reporting period on the consolidated statement of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other gains and losses. Realized gains and losses as a result of the exercise of the Company’s call and put options up to an amount not exceeding the Company’s production of gold ounces for the reporting period are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. The exercise of options on gold ounces in excess of the Company’s gold production for the reporting period are recorded as other gains and losses.

18. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
 
(a) Segment revenues and results
 
The Company manages its reportable operating segments by operating mines and development projects. Operating results of reportable operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Effective January 1, 2019, Cerro San Pedro is in the reclamation phase of its mine life cycle. As a result, the Company has grouped Cerro San Pedro with the Company’s development and exploration properties that have no revenues or operating costs. The segmented information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated to reflect the Company’s reportable operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The results from operations for these reportable operating segments are summarized in the following tables:

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
Fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing the fair value of a particular contract, the market participant would consider the credit risk of the counterparty to the contract. Consequently, when it is appropriate to do so, the Company adjusts the valuation models to incorporate a measure of credit risk. Fair value represents management's estimates of the current market value at a given point in time.
 
The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. There were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
 
Valuation methodologies for Level 2 and 3 financial assets and liabilities:
 
Provisionally priced contracts and gold and copper swap contracts
The fair value of the provisionally priced contracts and the gold and copper swap contracts is calculated using the mark-to-market forward prices of London Metals Exchange gold and copper based on the applicable settlement dates of the outstanding provisionally priced contracts and copper swap contracts.
 
Gold and copper price option contracts
The fair value of the gold and copper price option contracts are calculated using the mark-to-market method based on fair value prices obtained from the counterparties of the gold price option contracts and copper price option contracts.
 
Foreign exchange forward contracts
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is calculated using the mark-to-market method based on the difference between the forward Canadian dollar to U.S dollar foreign exchange rate and the foreign exchange rates of the contracts.
 
Gold stream obligation
The fair value of the gold stream obligation is calculated using the risk-free interest rate derived from the U.S. Treasury rate, forward metal prices, company specific credit spread based on the yield on the Company’s 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes, and expected gold and silver ounces to be delivered from Rainy River’s life of mine model.
 
 
Proceeds due from income tax refunds at Mesquite
The proceeds due from income tax refunds at Mesquite is related to income tax refunds that were recoverable by Mesquite on the date of the sale of Mesquite. These income tax refunds are required to be paid to the Company once Mesquite receives these income tax refunds. The fair value of the income tax refund receivable is calculated based on the value of the income tax refunds that Mesquite is expected to receive, and an unsecured discount rate.
29

 
 

Performance share units (PSU)
The fair value of the PSU liability is calculated using the quantity of base options subject to cash settlement, the weighted-average three-year achieved performance ratio (calculated using the annualized return of the Company’s share price compared to the annualized return of the S&P Global Gold Index) and the expected share price at the end of the vesting period.
 
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category and information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position categorized by level of significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
