 First Quarter Report 2018

AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") dated April 27, 2018 of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 that were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the MD&A and consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "Form 40-F"), prepared in accordance with IFRS. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements and this MD&A are presented in United States dollars ("US dollars", "$" or "US$") and all units of measurement are expressed using the metric system, unless otherwise specified. Certain information in this MD&A is presented in Canadian dollars ("C$"), Mexican pesos or European Union euros ("Euros" or "€"). Additional information relating to the Company, including the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "AIF"), is available on the Canadian Securities Administrators' (the "CSA") SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
Business Overview
        Agnico Eagle is a senior Canadian gold mining company that has produced precious metals since its formation in 1972. The Company's mines are located in Canada, Mexico and Finland, with exploration and development activities in Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The Company and its shareholders have full exposure to gold prices due to its long-standing policy of no forward gold sales. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.
        Agnico Eagle earns a significant proportion of its revenue and cash flow from the production and sale of gold in both dore bar and concentrate form. The remainder of revenue and cash flow is generated by the production and sale of by-product metals, primarily silver, zinc and copper.
        Agnico Eagle's operating mines and development projects are located in what the Company believes to be politically stable countries that are supportive of the mining industry. The political stability of the regions in which Agnico Eagle operates helps to provide confidence in its current and future prospects and profitability. This is important for Agnico Eagle as it believes that many of its new mines and recently acquired mining projects have long-term mining potential.
Financial and Operating Results
Balance Sheet Review
        Total assets as at March 31, 2018 of $7,876.4 million increased by $10.8 million compared with total assets of $7,865.6 million as at December 31, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $180.7 million to $452.3 million between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 primarily due to $348.6 million in capital expenditures and acquisitions, $26.3 million for the repurchase of common shares for stock-based compensation plans and $22.6 million in dividends paid, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $207.7 million during the first three months of 2018. Inventories decreased to $467.0 million at March 31, 2018 compared with $501.0 million at December 31, 2017 primarily due to planned fuel and supplies inventory drawdowns in Nunavut. Equity securities decreased from $122.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $100.8 million at March 31, 2018 due to $26.1 million in unrealized fair value losses and $0.1 million in disposals, partially offset by $4.3 million in new investments during the first three months of 2018. Other current assets decreased from $150.6 million at December 31, 2017 to $145.7 million at March 31, 2018 primarily due to a $16.0 million decrease in other taxes recoverable, partially offset by a $10.0 million increase in prepaid expenses. Property, plant and mine development increased from $5,626.6 million at December 31, 2017 to $5,874.6 million at March 31, 2018 primarily due to an acquisition and additions capitalized to property, plant and mine

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
development of $378.1 million, partially offset by amortization expense of $134.4 million during the first three months of 2018.
        Total liabilities increased to $2,936.4 million at March 31, 2018 from $2,918.6 million at December 31, 2017 primarily due to an increase in interest payable and reclamation provisions, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Agnico Eagle's reclamation provision increased by $32.3 million between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 primarily due to the re-measurement of the Company's reclamation provisions by applying updated expected cash flows and assumptions at March 31, 2018. Agnico Eagle's net income taxes payable position of $3.2 million at December 31, 2017 was reduced during the first quarter of 2018 by payments to tax authorities in excess of the year to date current tax provision, resulting in a net income taxes payable position of $0.8 million at March 31, 2018.
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
        The Company occasionally enters into contracts to limit the risk associated with decreased by-product metal prices, increased foreign currency costs (including capital expenditures) and input costs. The contracts act as economic hedges of underlying exposures and are not held for speculative purposes. Agnico Eagle does not use complex derivative contracts to hedge exposures. The fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments is outlined in the financial instruments note to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
        Agnico Eagle reported net income of $44.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the first quarter of 2018 compared with net income of $76.0 million, or $0.33 per share, in the first quarter of 2017. Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income of $34.2 million, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of 2018 compared with adjusted net income of $64.0 million, or $0.28 per share, in the first quarter of 2017. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.
        In the first quarter of 2018, the operating margin (revenues from mining operations less production costs) of $283.1 million decreased compared to $307.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to a 22.9% increase in production costs between periods. Gold production decreased to 389,278 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 418,216 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an 18.7% decrease in gold grade at the Meadowbank mine and a decrease of 13,638 gold ounces produced at the Lapa mine as it approaches the end of operations. Partially offsetting the overall decrease in gold production between the first quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2017 was a 19.1% increase in gold grade at the LaRonde mine. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $207.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $222.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. Total weighted average cash costs per ounce of gold produced amounted to $648 on a by-product basis and $733 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $539 on a by-product basis and $616 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2017. For a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues) to production costs as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
        Revenues from mining operations increased to $578.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $547.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an 8.9% increase in the realized price of gold and a 23.6% and 14.7% increase in the realized price of zinc and copper, respectively.
        Production costs were $295.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, a 22.9% increase compared with $240.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased underground and mill maintenance costs at the LaRonde mine, increased costs at the Canadian Malartic mine from higher throughput and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar, Euro and Mexican peso relative to the US dollar.
        Weighted average total cash costs per ounce of gold produced increased to $648 on a by-product basis and $733 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $539 on a by-product basis and $616 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to decreased gold production as a result of lower gold grade ore processed at the Meadowbank mine and lower production from the Lapa mine as it approaches the end of operations. For a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues) to production costs as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS, see Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures in this MD&A.
        Exploration and corporate development expenses increased to $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in spending at the Amaruq and Santa Gertrudis projects.
        Amortization of property, plant and mine development increased by $1.9 million to $134.4 million between the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in the tonnes processed at the

Kittila mine, partially offset by a decrease in amortization at the Lapa mine as it approaches the end of operations.
        General and administrative expense increased to $33.5 million during the first quarter of 2018 compared with $30.8 million during the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased compensation and benefits expenses between periods.
        During the first quarter of 2018, there was a non-cash foreign currency translation gain of $3.5 million attributable to a weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 on the Company's net monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $0.9 million was recorded during the comparative first quarter of 2017.
        In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $24.4 million on income before income and mining taxes of $69.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.2%. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $26.7 million on income before income and mining taxes of $102.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.0%. The increase in the effective tax rate between the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 is primarily due to an increase in permanent differences.
        There are a number of factors that can significantly impact the Company's effective tax rate including varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of certain tax assets, mining allowances, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in tax laws, the impact of specific transactions and assessments and the relative distribution of income in the Company's operating jurisdictions. As a result of these factors, the Company's effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate significantly in future periods.
LaRonde mine
        At the LaRonde mine, gold production increased by 13.8% to 89,785 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 78,912 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher gold grade ore processed. Production costs at the LaRonde mine were $64.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 46.4% compared with production costs of $44.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by increased underground and mill maintenance costs and a strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.
Lapa mine
        At the Lapa mine, gold production decreased by 88.8% to 1,722 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 15,360 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to a decrease in the tonnes of ore processed. Production costs at the Lapa mine were $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of 95.9% compared with production costs of $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by the expected decrease of mining and milling costs as the mine approaches the end of operations.
Goldex mine
        At the Goldex mine, gold production decreased by 14.5% to 27,924 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 32,671 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to lower gold grade ore processed. Production costs at the Goldex mine were $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 10.2% compared with production costs of $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by increased contractor and underground production costs and a strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Meadowbank mine
        At the Meadowbank mine, gold production decreased by 28.0% to 61,447 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 85,370 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to lower gold grade ore processed. Production costs at the Meadowbank mine were $61.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 13.9% compared with production costs of $54.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by increased contractor and maintenance costs in addition to increased re-handling costs and a strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.
Canadian Malartic mine
        Agnico Eagle and Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") jointly acquired 100.0% of Osisko on June 16, 2014 by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Osisko Arrangement"). As a result of the Osisko Arrangement, Agnico Eagle and Yamana each indirectly own 50.0% of Canadian Malartic Corporation ("CMC") and the Canadian Malartic General Partnership ("the Partnership" or "Canadian Malartic GP" or "CMGP"), which holds the Canadian Malartic mine in northwestern Quebec.
        At the Canadian Malartic mine, attributable gold production increased by 16.8% to 83,403 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 71,382 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher gold grade ore processed and increased mill throughput. Attributable production costs at the Canadian Malartic mine were $47.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 45.6% compared with production costs of $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in contractor and fuel costs and a strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.
        On August 2, 2016, the Partnership was served with a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Quebec with respect to allegations involving the Canadian Malartic mine. The complaint is in respect of "neighbourhood annoyances" arising from dust, noise, vibrations and blasts at the mine. The plaintiffs are seeking damages in an unspecified amount as well as punitive damages in the amount of C$20 million. The class action was certified in May 2017. In November 2017, a declaratory judgment was issued allowing the Partnership to settle individually with class members for 2017. The plaintiffs have filed an application for leave to appeal from this judgment. Leave to appeal was granted on January 11, 2018 and the appeal will be heard on June 8, 2018. On December 11, 2017, hearings were completed in respect of certain preliminary matters, including the Partnership's application for partial dismissal of the class action. Judgment was rendered on the preliminary matters and the partial dismissal of the class action was granted, removing the period of August 2013 to June 2014 from the class period. The Company and the Partnership will take all necessary steps to defend themselves from this lawsuit.
        On August 15, 2016, the Partnership received notice of an application for injunction relating to the Canadian Malartic mine, which had been filed under the Environment Quality Act (Quebec). A hearing related to an interlocutory injunction was completed on March 17, 2017 and a decision of the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the injunction. An application for permanent injunction is currently pending. The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the injunction request, consider the request without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this injunction. These measures include a motion for the dismissal of the application for injunction, which has been filed and will be heard at a date that has yet to be determined. While at this time the potential impacts of the injunction cannot be definitively determined, the Company expects that if the injunction were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in production and shift reductions resulting in the loss of jobs.
        On June 1, 2017, the Partnership was served with an application for judicial review to obtain the annulment of a governmental decree authorizing expansion of the Canadian Malartic mine. The Partnership is an impleaded party in the proceedings. The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the application for judicial review, consider the application without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this

application. The hearing on the merits is scheduled to take place in October 2018. While the Company believes it is highly unlikely that the annulment will be granted, the Company expects that if the annulment were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in anticipated future production.
Kittila mine
        At the Kittila mine, gold production decreased by 6.8% to 48,118 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 51,621 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to lower gold grade ore processed and a decrease in mill recoveries. Production costs at the Kittila mine were $42.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 18.9% compared with production costs of $35.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by an increase in contractor and re-handling costs and a strengthening of the Euro relative to the US dollar between periods.
Pinos Altos mine
        At the Pinos Altos mine, gold production decreased by 7.8% to 41,836 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 45,360 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of ore processed at the mill. Production costs at the Pinos Altos mine were $34.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 46.2% compared with production costs of $23.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by an increase in consumables and underground mining costs, timing of inventory and a strengthening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
Creston Mascota mine
        At the Creston Mascota mine, gold production increased by 6.6% to 11,988 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 11,244 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to optimizations made to the heap leaching process. Production costs at the Creston Mascota mine were $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 38.3% compared with production costs of $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by the timing of inventory and a strengthening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
La India mine
        At the La India mine, gold production decreased by 12.3% to 23,055 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 26,296 ounces in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to lower heap leach recoveries. Production costs at the La India mine were $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 17.4% compared with production costs of $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 driven primarily by increased heap leach costs to facilitate a higher amount of ore stacked and a strengthening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
        As at March 31, 2018, the Company's cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and current restricted cash totaled $466.0 million compared with $644.3 million at December 31, 2017. The Company's policy is to invest excess cash in highly liquid investments of the highest credit quality to reduce risks associated with these investments. Such investments with remaining maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time of purchase are classified as short-term investments. Decisions regarding the length of maturities are based on cash flow requirements, rates of return and various other factors.
        Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) decreased to $883.1 million at March 31, 2018 compared with $1,127.7 million at December 31, 2017.

Operating Activities
        Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $207.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $222.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to a decrease in payable gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher realized gold prices and more favourable working capital changes between periods.
Investing Activities
        Cash used in investing activities increased to $354.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared with $153.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an asset acquisition for $162.5 million and a $57.5 million increase in capital expenditures between periods. The increase in capital expenditures between periods is mainly attributable to construction expenditures incurred in the first quarter of 2018 related to the Meliadine project.
        In the first quarter of 2018, the Company purchased $4.5 million in equity securities and other investments compared with $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2017. The Company's equity securities consist primarily of investments in common shares of entities in the mining industry.
        On March 28, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the Canadian exploration assets of CMC, including the Kirkland Lake and Hammond Reef Gold projects (the "Transaction") by way of an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 21, 2017. On the closing of the transactions relating to the Agreement, Agnico had acquired all of Yamana's indirect 50% interest in the Canadian exploration assets of CMC, giving Agnico Eagle 100% ownership of CMC's interest in the assets on closing of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Agreement, the effective consideration for the exploration assets after the distribution of the sale proceeds by CMC to its shareholders totaled $162.5 million in cash paid on closing. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition and transaction costs associated with the acquisition totaling $2.9 million were capitalized to the mining properties acquired.
        On February 15, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of 1,740,500 units ("Units") of Orla Mining Ltd. ("Orla") at a price of C$1.75 per Unit for total cash consideration of C$3.0 million. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of Orla (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Orla (each full common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$2.35 prior to February 15, 2021. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company held 17,613,835 Common Shares and 870,250 Warrants, representing approximately 9.86% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 10.30% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the Company.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Risk Profile
        Volatility remains high in global financial markets and weakness in the global economy continues to have an impact on the profitability and liquidity of many businesses. Although there are signs of stabilization, the timing of a return to historical market conditions is uncertain. Weak economic conditions and volatile financial markets may have a significant impact on Agnico Eagle's cost and availability of financing and overall liquidity. The volatility in gold, silver, zinc and copper prices directly affects Agnico Eagle's revenues, earnings and cash flow. Volatile energy, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact production costs. The volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of the Company's equity securities.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
        The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") and disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P").
        ICFR is a framework designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management has used the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in order to assess the effectiveness of the Company's ICFR.
        DC&P form a broader framework designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in securities legislation and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings and other reports submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
        Together, the ICFR and DC&P frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in the Company's annual and interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation, is accumulated and communicated in a timely fashion. Due to their inherent limitations, the Company acknowledges that, no matter how well designed, ICFR and DC&P can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and as such may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of ICFR is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.
        There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in the first quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the reliability of financial reporting.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
        This MD&A presents certain financial performance measures, including adjusted net income, total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (on both a by-product and co-product basis), minesite costs per tonne and all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced (on both a by-product and co-product basis), that are not recognized measures under IFRS. This data may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. Non-GAAP financial performance measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Net Income
        Adjusted net income is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. This measure is calculated by adjusting net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for non-recurring, unusual and other items. The Company believes that this generally accepted industry measure allows the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and is useful in making comparisons between periods. Adjusted net income is intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing income generating capabilities. Management uses this measure to monitor and plan for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Beginning in 2016, the Company began to exclude stock based compensation expense from the calculation of adjusted net income. Stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $7.8 million (2017 — $7.6 million).

Notes:
(i)
Income and mining tax adjustments reflect foreign currency translation recorded to the income and mining taxes expense, recognition of previously unrecognized capital losses, the result of income and mining tax audits, impact of tax law changes and reflective adjustments to prior period operating results.

(ii)
The Company includes certain adjustments in "Other" to the extent that management believes that these items are not reflective of the underlying performance of the Company's core operating business. Examples of items historically included in "Other" include changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites, gains and losses on the disposal of assets and other non-recurring items.
Total Cash Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced and Minesite Costs per Tonne
        The Company believes that total cash costs per ounce of gold produced and minesite costs per tonne are realistic indicators of operating performance and facilitate period over period comparisons. However, both of these non-GAAP generally accepted industry measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures, taken by themselves, are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
        Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for by-product revenues, inventory production costs, smelting, refining and marketing charges, other adjustments and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
the same manner as total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis except that no adjustment for by-product metal revenues is made. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is intended to provide information about the cash generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash cost per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis measure allows management to assess a mine's cash generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using these measures in conjunction with minesite costs per tonne (discussed below) as well as other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.
        Agnico Eagle's primary business is gold production and the focus of its current operations and future development is on maximizing returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. Accordingly, all metals other than gold are considered by-products.
        Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on a by-product basis because (i) the majority of the Company's revenues are gold revenues, (ii) the Company mines ore, which contains gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all costs to revenues from the gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals the Company produces, and (iv) it is a method used by management and the Board to monitor operations.
        Minesite costs per tonne is calculated by adjusting production costs as shown in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for inventory production costs, other adjustments and then dividing by tonnes of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced measure can be impacted by fluctuations in by-product metal prices and exchange rates, management believes that the minesite costs per tonne measure provides additional information regarding the performance of mining operations. Management also uses minesite costs per tonne to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. Management is aware that this per tonne measure of performance can be impacted by fluctuations in production levels and compensates for this inherent limitation by using this measure in conjunction with production costs prepared in accordance with IFRS.
        The following tables set out a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (on both a by-product basis and co-product basis) and minesite costs per tonne to production costs, exclusive of amortization, as presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS.

Notes:
(i)
The information set out in this table reflects the Company's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic mine.

(ii)
Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for by-product metal revenues, inventory production costs, smelting, refining and marketing charges, other adjustments and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis except that

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
no adjustment for by-product metal revenues is made. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures provide a realistic indication of operating performance and provide useful comparison points between periods. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is intended to provide information about the cash generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis measure allows management to assess a mine's cash generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using these measures in conjunction with minesite costs per tonne as well as other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.
(iii)
Minesite costs per tonne is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. This measure is calculated by adjusting production costs as shown in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for inventory production costs, other adjustments and then dividing by tonnes of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced measure can be affected by fluctuations in by-product metal prices and exchange rates, management believes that the minesite costs per tonne measure provides additional information regarding the performance of mining operations, eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. Management is aware that this per tonne measure of performance can be impacted by fluctuations in processing levels and compensates for this inherent limitation by using this measure in conjunction with production costs prepared in accordance with IFRS.

(iv)
Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, revenue is recognized when legal title and risk is transferred. As total cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue. Other adjustments include the addition of smelting, refining and marketing charges to production costs.

(v)
This inventory and other adjustment reflects production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory.

(vi)
The Goldex mine's per ounce of gold produced calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 excludes 2,395 ounces of payable gold production and the associated costs related to the Deep 1 Zone which were produced prior to the achievement of commercial production.

(vii)
The Goldex mine's per tonne calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 excludes 57,730 tonnes and the associated costs related to the Deep 1 Zone which were processed prior to the achievement of commercial production.
All-in Sustaining Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced
        All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. The Company believes that this measure provides information about operating performance. However, this non-GAAP measure should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS as it is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
        All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated as the aggregate of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis and sustaining capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration), general and administrative expenses (including stock options) and non-cash reclamation provision expense per ounce of gold produced. All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis except that no adjustment for by-product metal revenues is made to total cash costs per ounce of gold produced. The calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals.

Notes:
(i)
Operating margin is calculated as revenues from mining operations less production costs.

(ii)
The information set out in this table reflects the Company's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic mine.

(iii)
Payable production (a non-GAAP non-financial performance measure) is the quantity of mineral produced during a period contained in products that have been or will be sold by the Company, whether such products are sold during the period or held as inventories at the end of the period.

(iv)
The Canadian Malartic mine's payable metal sold excludes the 5.0% net smelter royalty in favour of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd.

(v)
Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for by-product metal revenues, inventory production costs, smelting, refining and marketing charges, other adjustments and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis except that no adjustment for by-product metal revenues is made. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures provide a realistic indication of operating performance and provide useful comparison points between periods. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is intended to provide information about the cash generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis measure allows management to assess a mine's cash generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using these measures in conjunction with minesite costs per tonne as well as other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.

(vi)
The Goldex mine's data presented on a per ounce of gold produced basis for the three months ended March 31, 2017 excludes 2,395 ounces of payable gold production and the associated costs related to the Deep 1 Zone which were produced prior to the achievement of commercial production.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2018
1.     CORPORATE INFORMATION
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") is principally engaged in the production and sale of gold, as well as related activities such as exploration and mine development. The Company's mining operations are located in Canada, Mexico and Finland and the Company has exploration activities in Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States. Agnico Eagle is a public company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada with its head and registered office located at 145 King Street East, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2Y7. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Agnico Eagle sells its gold production into the world market.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on April 27, 2018.
2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
A.
Statement of Compliance
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Agnico Eagle have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in United States ("US") dollars. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual audited consolidated financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2017 annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Annual Report and Annual Information Form/Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
In the opinion of management, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.
B.
Basis of Presentation
Subsidiaries
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agnico Eagle and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses and gains or losses have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated where Agnico Eagle has the ability to exercise control. Control of an investee exists when Agnico Eagle is exposed to variable returns from the Company's involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
Joint Arrangements
A joint arrangement is defined as an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement between two or more parties. This exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties have joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operations, from the date that joint control commenced. Agnico Eagle's 50% interest in each of Canadian Malartic Corporation ("CMC") and Canadian Malartic GP ("the Partnership"), the general partnership that holds the Canadian Malartic mine located in Quebec, has been accounted for as a joint operation.

3.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the December 31, 2017 annual audited consolidated financial statements except as described below for new accounting standards adopted effective January 1, 2018.
New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Year
IFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company has adopted IFRS 15 —  Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") effective January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 15. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under IFRS 15, while prior reporting period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported under IAS 18 —  Revenue ("IAS 18") (accounting standard in effect for those periods).
The Company has concluded that there are no significant differences between the point of transfer of risks and rewards for its metals under IAS 18 and the point of transfer of control under IFRS 15. No adjustment has been recorded to the opening deficit balance at January 1, 2018.
The following policies applied in accounting for revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018. In the comparative period, revenue was accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition policy disclosed in the Company's December 31, 2017 annual audited consolidated financial statements.
Gold and Silver Dore Bars
The Company sells gold and silver in the form of dore bars to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue from these sales when control of the gold or silver has transferred to the customer. This is generally at the point in time when the gold or silver is credited to the metal account of the customer. Once the gold or silver has been credited to the customer's metal account, the customer has legal title to, physical possession of, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the gold or silver; therefore, the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the gold or silver.
Under certain contracts with customers the transfer of control may occur when the gold or silver is in transit from the mine to the refinery. At this point in time, the customer has legal title to and the risk and rewards of ownership of the gold or silver; therefore, the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the gold or silver.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when control of the gold or silver is transferred to the customer.
Generally, all of the gold and silver in the form of dore bars recovered in the Company's milling process is sold in the period in which it is produced.
Metal Concentrates
The Company sells concentrate from certain of its mines to third-party smelter customers. These concentrates predominantly contain zinc and copper, along with quantities of gold and silver.
The Company recognizes revenue from these concentrate sales when control of the concentrate has transferred to the customer, which is the point in time that the concentrate is delivered to the customer. Upon delivery, the customer has legal title to, physical possession of, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the concentrate. The customer is also committed to accept and pay for the concentrates once delivered; therefore, the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the concentrate.
The final prices for metals contained in the concentrate are generally determined based on the prevailing spot market metal prices on a specific future date, which is established as of the date the concentrate is delivered to the customer. Upon transfer of control at delivery, the Company measures revenue under these contracts based on forward prices at the time of delivery and the most recent determination of the quantity of contained metals less smelting and refining charges charged by the customer. This reflects the best estimate of the transaction price expected to be received at final settlement. A receivable is recognized for this amount and subsequently measured at fair value to reflect variability associated with the embedded derivative for changes in the market metal prices. These changes in the fair value of the receivable are adjusted through revenue from other sources at each subsequent financial statement date.

March 31, 2018
3.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Under certain contracts with customers, the sale of gold contained in copper concentrate occurs once the metal has been processed into refined gold and is sold separately similar to the gold and silver dore bar terms described above. The transaction price for the sale of gold contained in concentrate is determined based on the spot market price upon delivery and provisional pricing does not apply.
IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted IFRS 9 —  Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") effective January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 9. As such, comparative figures have not been restated. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition, measurement and impairment of financial instruments and includes a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting.
As detailed below, the Company has changed its accounting policy for financial instruments retrospectively, except where described below. The main areas of change and corresponding transitional adjustments applied on January 1, 2018 are as follows:
i. Impact of adoption on the accounting for equity securities previously designated as available for sale
Upon adoption, investments in publicly traded equity securities held by the Company have been classified as fair value through other comprehensive income pursuant to the irrevocable election available under IFRS 9. These investments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized permanently in other comprehensive income. Upon adoption, an adjustment was recorded to reclassify the accumulated impairment losses on these investments. The adjustment to reduce the opening deficit on January 1, 2018 was $44.1 million ($40.8 million net of tax) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. There was no impact on net income for 2018.
ii. Impact of adoption on the accounting for derivative instruments
Upon adoption, the Company reassessed all of its existing hedge relationships that qualified for hedge accounting under IAS 39 and determined that these continued to qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.
Under IFRS 9, the Company changed the presentation of the time value component of changes in the fair value of an option that is a hedging item. This time value component has been recorded in other comprehensive income, rather than in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. IFRS 9 does not require restatement of comparatives; however, the retrospective impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 relating to changes in accounting for the time value of options has been reflected as an adjustment to opening deficit on January 1, 2018. The adjustment to increase the opening deficit was $3.1 million ($4.5 million net of tax) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income.
Financial Assets
IFRS 9 includes a revised model for classifying financial assets, which results in classification according to a financial instrument's contractual cash flow characteristics and the business models under which they are held. At initial recognition, financial assets are measured at fair value. Under the IFRS 9 model for classification of financial assets the Company has classified and measured its financial assets as described below:
•
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Previously under IAS 39 these amounts were classified as held to maturity.
•
Trade receivables are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value during the quotational period until the final settlement price is determined. Once the final settlement price is determined, trade receivables are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Previously under IAS 39, trade receivables were classified as loans and receivables measured at amortized cost except for the provisional pricing embedded derivative that was measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Except as noted above, the adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in a change in the carrying values of any of the Company's financial assets on the transition date.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of financial liabilities not subsequently measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expired. For financial liabilities, IFRS 9 retains most of the IAS 39 requirements and since the Company does not have any financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the adoption of IFRS 9 did not impact the Company's

3.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
accounting policies for financial liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, and long-term debt are classified as financial liabilities to be subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model
IFRS 9 introduces a single expected credit loss impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. The adoption of the expected credit loss impairment model did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements, and did not result in a transitional adjustment.
Short-term Investments
The Company's short-term investments include financial instruments with remaining maturities of greater than three months but less than one year at the date of purchase. Short-term investments are designated as financial assets measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these investments.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial assets and liabilities (financial instruments) include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, trade receivables, equity securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments. All financial instruments are recorded at fair value at recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial instruments classified as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.
Equity Securities
The Company's equity securities consist primarily of investments in common shares of entities in the mining industry recorded using trade date accounting. Equity securities are designated as fair value through other comprehensive income pursuant to the irrevocable election under IFRS 9. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are permanently recognized in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments (primarily option and forward contracts) to manage exposure to fluctuations in by-product metal prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates and may use such means to manage exposure to certain input costs.
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements at fair value and are classified based on contractual maturity. Derivative instruments are classified as either hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges) or non-hedge derivatives. Derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge that are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they have actually been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are shown separately in the balance sheet unless there is a legal right to offset and intent to settle on a net basis.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. Amounts deferred in other comprehensive income are reclassified when the hedged transaction has occurred.
Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value at the balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
IFRS 16 — Leases
In January 2016, IFRS 16 —  Leases was issued, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases, as well as corresponding amortization and finance expense. Application of the standard is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. The Company plans to adopt the new standard beginning January 1, 2019.

3.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company expects that the new standard will result in an increase in assets and liabilities, as well as a corresponding increase in amortization and finance expense. The Company also expects that cash flow from operating activities will increase under the new standard because lease payments for most leases will be recorded as cash outflows from financing activities in the statements of cash flows. The magnitude of these impacts of adopting the new standard have not yet been determined.
The Company has established an implementation plan to assess the accounting impacts of the new standard and the related impacts on internal controls over the remainder of 2018. The Company is currently conducting a review of its contracts with suppliers to assess the impact of the new standard and to collect data necessary for adoption of the new standard. The Company expects to report more detailed information, including the quantitative impact, if material, in its consolidated financial statements as the effective date approaches.
4.     SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The areas involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions have been detailed in note 4 to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
5.     ACQUISITION
CMC Exploration Assets
On March 28, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the Canadian exploration assets of CMC, including the Kirkland Lake and Hammond Reef Gold projects (the "CMC Transaction") by way of an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 21, 2017. On the closing of the transactions relating to the Agreement, Agnico had acquired all of Yamana's indirect 50% interest in the Canadian exploration assets of CMC, giving Agnico Eagle 100% ownership of CMC's interest in the assets on closing of the CMC Transaction.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the effective consideration for the exploration assets after the distribution of the sale proceeds by CMC to its shareholders totaled $162.5 million in cash paid at closing.
The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition and transaction costs associated with the acquisition totaling $2.9 million were capitalized to the mining properties acquired separately from the purchase price allocation set out below.
The following table sets out the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management's estimates of fair value:

						
 	Total purchase price:	 	 	 	 	
 	Cash paid for acquisition	 	$	162,479	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
 	Total purchase price to allocate	 	$	162,479	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
 	Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:	 	 	 	 	
 	Mining properties	 	$	161,242	 	
 	Plant and equipment	 	 	2,423	 	
 	Reclamation provision	 	 	(1,186	)

6.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed interim

6.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)
consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and 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.
For items that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing their classification at the end of each reporting period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, trade receivables, equity securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
Long-term debt is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2018 at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is determined by applying a discount rate, reflecting the credit spread based on the Company's credit rating, to future related cash flows which is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As at March 31, 2018, the Company's long-term debt had a fair value of $1,456.9 million (December 31, 2017 — $1,499.4 million).
The following table sets out the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2018 using the fair value hierarchy:

Valuation Techniques
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables from provisional invoices for concentrate sales are valued using quoted forward rates derived from observable market data based on the month of expected settlement (classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
Equity Securities
Equity securities representing shares of publicly traded entities are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices (classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). Equity securities representing shares of non-publicly traded entities or non-transferable shares of

Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value using external broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models or option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs.
7.     INVENTORIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, impairment losses of $1.0 million (2017 — nil) were recorded within production costs to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value.
8.     EQUITY SECURITIES

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received net proceeds of nil (2017 — $0.2 million) and recognized a gain before income taxes of nil (2017 — $0.1 million) on the sale of certain equity securities.
9.     PROPERTY, PLANT AND MINE DEVELOPMENT
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, $378.1 million of additions (year ended December 31, 2017 — $1,044.5 million) were capitalized to property, plant and mine development.
Total borrowing costs capitalized to property, plant and mine development during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were approximately $1.2 million (year ended December 31, 2017 — $6.4 million) at a capitalization rate of 1.37% (year ended December 31, 2017 — 1.37%).
Assets with a net book value of $0.4 million were disposed of by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (year ended December 31, 2017 — $16.1 million), resulting in a net loss on disposal of $0.3 million (year ended December 31, 2017 — $9.9 million).
See note 17 to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for capital commitments.
10.   LONG-TERM DEBT
As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no amounts were outstanding under the Company's $1.2 billion Credit Facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility resulted in Credit Facility availability of $1,199.2 million at March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 — $1,199.2 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Credit Facility drawdowns totaled $250.0 million and repayments totaled $250.0 million.

Net Income Per Share
The following table sets out the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

 	 	 	2018	 	2017	 	
 	Net income for the period	 	$	44,930	 	$	75,950	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — basic (in thousands)	 	 	232,490	 	 	226,883	 	
 	Add: Dilutive impact of common shares related to the RSU plan, PSU plan and LTIP	 	 	755	 	 	684	 	
 	Add: Dilutive impact of employee stock options	 	 	1,330	 	 	1,778	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted (in thousands)	 	 	234,575	 	 	229,345	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	Net income per share — basic	 	$	0.19	 	$	0.33	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	Net income per share — diluted	 	$	0.19	 	$	0.33	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Diluted net income per share has been calculated using the treasury stock method. In applying the treasury stock method, outstanding employee stock options with an exercise price greater than the average quoted market price of the common shares for the period outstanding are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the impact would be anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, 3,857,965 (2017 — 37,000) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Agnico Eagle estimated the fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

									
 	 	 	Three Months Ended
March 31,	 	
 	 	 	2018	 	2017	 	
 	Risk-free interest rate	 	 	2.10%	 	 	1.16%

 	Expected dividend yield	 	 	1.00%	 	 	1.09%	 	
The Company uses historical volatility to estimate the expected volatility of Agnico Eagle's share price. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience.
The total compensation expense for the ESOP recorded in the general and administrative line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8.0 million (2017 — $7.7 million). Of the total compensation cost for the ESOP, $0.2 million was capitalized as part of the property, plant and mine development line item of the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (2017 — $0.1 million).
(b)
Incentive Share Purchase Plan ("ISPP")
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 121,825 common shares were subscribed for under the ISPP (2017 — 94,552) for a value of $5.1 million (2017 — $4.1 million). The total compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to the ISPP was $1.7 million (2017 — $1.4 million).
(c)
Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 372,200 (2017 — 360,500) RSUs were granted with a grant date fair value of $17.9 million (2017 — $16.0 million). In the first quarter of 2018, the Company funded the RSU plan by transferring $17.3 million (2017 — $16.0 million) to an employee benefit trust that then purchased common shares of the Company in the open market. Compensation expense related to the RSU plan was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (2017 — $4.2 million). Compensation expense related to the RSU plan is included as part of the general and administrative line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
(d)
Performance Share Unit ("PSU") Plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 180,000 (2017 — 182,000) PSUs were granted. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company funded the PSU plan by transferring $8.4 million (2017 — $8.1 million) to an employee benefit trust that then purchased common shares of the Company in the open market.
Compensation expense related to the PSU plan was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (2017 — $2.0 million). Compensation expense related to the PSU plan is included as part of the general and administrative line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

15.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Currency Risk Management
The Company uses foreign exchange economic hedges to reduce the variability in expected future cash flows arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the US dollar as a significant portion of the Company's operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies; primarily the Canadian dollar, the Euro and the Mexican peso. These potential currency fluctuations increase the volatility of, and could have a significant impact on, the Company's production costs and capital expenditures. The economic hedges relate to a portion of the foreign currency denominated cash outflows arising from foreign currency denominated expenditures.
As at March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange zero cost collars with a cash flow hedging relationship that did qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. The purchase of US dollar put options was financed through selling US dollar call options at a higher level such that the net premium payable to the different counterparties by the Company was nil. At March 31, 2018, the zero cost collars hedged $207.0 million of 2018 expenditures. The Company recognized the mark-to-market adjustment in other comprehensive income. Amounts deferred in other comprehensive income are reclassified when the hedged transaction has occurred.
As at March 31, 2018, the Company also had outstanding derivative contracts where hedge accounting was not applied. At March 31, 2018, the non-hedge derivatives related to $408.0 million of 2018 and 2019 expenditures and the Company recognized mark-to-market adjustments in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Mark-to-market gains and losses related to foreign exchange derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models that utilize period end forward pricing of the applicable foreign currency to calculate fair value.
The Company's other foreign currency derivative strategies in 2018 and 2017 consisted mainly of writing US dollar call options with short maturities to generate premiums that would, in essence, enhance the spot transaction rate received when exchanging US dollars for Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. All of these derivative transactions expired prior to period end such that no derivatives were outstanding as at March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. The call option premiums were recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Commodity Price Risk Management
To mitigate the risks associated with fluctuating diesel fuel prices, the Company uses derivative financial instruments as economic hedges of the price risk on a portion of diesel fuel costs associated with the Meadowbank mine's diesel fuel exposure as it relates to operating costs. There were derivative financial instruments outstanding as at March 31, 2018 relating to 5.0 million gallons of diesel (December 31, 2017 — 5.0 million). The related mark-to-market adjustments prior to settlement were recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these arrangements.
Mark-to-market gains and losses related to heating oil derivative financial instruments are based on broker-dealer quotations that utilize period end forward pricing to calculate fair value.
As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no metal derivative positions. The Company may from time to time utilize short-term financial instruments as part of its strategy to minimize risks and optimize returns on its by-product metal sales.

17.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company has been required to provide assurance in the form of letters of credit for environmental and site restoration costs, custom credits, government grants and other general corporate purposes. As at March 31, 2018, the total amount of these guarantees was $340.2 million.
As at March 31, 2018 the Company had $129.0 million of commitments related to capital expenditures.
18.   ONGOING LITIGATION
On August 2, 2016, Canadian Malartic General Partnership ("CMGP"), a general partnership jointly owned by the Company and Yamana (the "Partnership"), was served with a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Quebec with respect to allegations involving the Canadian Malartic mine. The complaint is in respect of "neighbourhood annoyances" arising from dust, noise, vibrations and blasts at the mine. The plaintiffs are seeking damages in an unspecified amount as well as punitive damages in the amount of C$20 million. The class action was certified in May 2017. In November 2017, a declaratory judgment was issued allowing the Partnership to settle individually with class members for 2017. The plaintiffs have filed an application for leave to appeal from this judgment. Leave to appeal was granted on January 11, 2018 and the appeal will be heard on June 8, 2018. On December 11, 2017, hearings were completed in respect of certain preliminary matters, including the Partnership's application for partial dismissal of the class action. Judgment was rendered on the preliminary matters and the partial dismissal of the class action was granted, removing the period of August 2013 to June 2014 from the class period. The Company and the Partnership will take all necessary steps to defend themselves from this lawsuit.
On August 15, 2016, the Partnership received notice of an application for injunction relating to the Canadian Malartic mine, which had been filed under the Environment Quality Act (Quebec). A hearing related to an interlocutory injunction was completed on March 17, 2017 and a decision of the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the injunction. An application for permanent injunction is currently pending. The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the injunction request, consider the request without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this injunction. These measures include a motion for the dismissal of the application for injunction, which has been filed and will be heard at a date that has yet to be determined. While at this time the potential impacts of the injunction cannot be definitively determined, the Company expects that if the injunction were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on

the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in production and shift reductions resulting in the loss of jobs.
On June 1, 2017, the Partnership was served with an application for judicial review to obtain the annulment of a governmental decree authorizing expansion of the Canadian Malartic mine. The Partnership is an impleaded party in the proceedings. The Company and the Partnership have reviewed the application for judicial review, consider the application without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against this application. The hearing on the merits is scheduled to take place in October 2018. While the Company believes it is highly unlikely that the annulment will be granted, the Company expects that if the annulment were to be granted, there would be a negative impact on the operations of the Canadian Malartic mine, which could include a reduction in anticipated future production.
19.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Dividends Declared
On April 26, 2018, Agnico Eagle announced that the Board approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per common share (a total value of approximately $25.6 million), payable on June 15, 2018 to holders of record of the common shares of the Company on June 1, 2018.
