The details of our Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders are set forth below:

The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to the Loss on assets held for sale of $485 and an increase in Costs applicable to sales in the current period (refer below for information on the change in Costs applicable to sales). This decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in Sales resulting from higher sales volumes for all metals and a higher average realized price for gold (refer below for information on the change in Sales), (ii) an increase to attributable net income of $224 related to the acquired Newcrest sites, and (iii) higher production at Tanami as compared to the prior period due to significant rainfall and flooding in the Northern Territory and surrounding areas in early 2023 ("Tanami rainfall event").

The details of our Costs applicable to sales are set forth below. Refer to Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The increase in Costs applicable to sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which contributed $509 to Costs applicable to sales.

The increase in Costs applicable to sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was further impacted by (i) a drawdown of inventory at Peñasquito, Yanacocha, NGM, Akyem, and Ahafo, (ii) higher royalties at Ahafo, and (iii) higher direct operating costs at Tanami driven by higher production in the current year due to the Tanami rainfall event in 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily at Boddington due to lower production.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $260 and $213 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the USD and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. Refer to Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

(2)In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for income taxes is adjusted to equal the consolidated tax rate.

(3)The consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to our combined effective income tax rate.

In 2024, Pillar II is set to take effect. The Pillar II agreement was signed by 138 countries with the intent to equalize corporate tax around the world by implementing a global minimum tax of 15%. As Newmont primarily does business in jurisdictions with a tax rate greater than 15%, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
