AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") dated April 26, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2018 (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, 2018 (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, 2019 of $7,912.9 million increased by $60.1 million compared with total assets of $7,852.8 million as at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $111.8 million to $190.0 million between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 primarily due to $203.4 million in capital expenditures, $25.5 million in dividends paid and $24.1 million for the repurchase of common shares for stock-based compensation plans during the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $148.7 million. Equity securities decreased from $76.5 million at December 31, 2018 to $70.8 million at March 31, 2019 due to $5.8 million in unrealized fair value losses and $0.5 million in disposals, partially offset by $0.6 million in new investments during the first quarter of 2019. Property, plant and mine development increased from $6,234.3 million at December 31, 2018 to $6,400.2 million at March 31, 2019 primarily due to additions capitalized to property, plant and mine development of $296.8 million, partially offset by amortization expense of $128.2 million during the first quarter of 2019.

        Total liabilities increased to $3,345.8 million at March 31, 2019 from $3,302.8 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to the capitalization of the Company's lease obligations in accordance with the adoption of IFRS 16 — Leases ("IFRS 16") on January 1, 2019. Agnico Eagle's reclamation provision increased by $18.3 million between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 primarily due to the re-measurement of the

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Company's reclamation provisions by applying updated expected cash flows and assumptions at March 31, 2019. Agnico Eagle's net income taxes payable position of $0.9 million at December 31, 2018 was reduced during the first quarter of 2019 by payments to tax authorities in excess of the year to date current tax provision, resulting in a net income taxes recoverable position of $16.5 million at March 31, 2019.

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 $37.0 million, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2019 compared with net income of $44.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the first quarter of 2018. Agnico Eagle reported adjusted net income of $32.0 million, or $0.14 per share, in the first quarter of 2019 compared with adjusted net income of $34.2 million, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of 2018. 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 2019, the operating margin (revenues from mining operations less production costs) of $255.3 million decreased compared to $283.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a 8.0% decrease in revenues from mining operations as a result of a 3.5% decrease in the sales volume of gold and a 2.2% lower realized price on gold between periods. Gold production increased to 398,217 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 389,278 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the contributions of gold production from the Meliadine mine project and the LaRonde Zone 5 mine, partially offset by a decrease in gold production from the Meadowbank mine resulting from a 24.4% decrease in ore tonnes processed as the mine transitions to the Amaruq satellite deposit in the second half of 2019. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $148.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $207.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. Total weighted average cash costs per ounce of gold produced amounted to $623 on a by-product basis and $704 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $648 on a by-product basis and $733 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2018. 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, 2019 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

        Revenues from mining operations decreased to $532.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $578.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a 3.5% decrease in the sales volume of gold and a 2.2% lower realized price of gold between periods.

        Production costs were $276.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, a 6.2% decrease compared with $295.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a decrease in the open pit mining costs at the Meadowbank mine as the mine transitions to the Amaruq satellite deposit in the second half of 2019 and the weakening of the Canadian dollar, Euro and Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.

        Weighted average total cash costs per ounce of gold produced decreased to $623 on a by-product basis and $704 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $648 on a by-product basis and $733 on a co-product basis in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to decreased open pit mining costs at the Meadowbank mine as the mine transitions to the Amaruq satellite deposit in the second half of 2019, lower costs at the Pinos Altos mine and the weakening of the Canadian dollar, Euro and Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods. 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 decreased to $25.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to less exploration drilling at the Amaruq satellite project.

        Amortization of property, plant and mine development decreased by $6.1 million to $128.2 million between the first quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to an increase in the proven and probable mineral reserves at the LaRonde, Kittila and Meadowbank mines.

AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

        General and administrative expense decreased to $29.1 million during the first quarter of 2019 compared with $33.5 million during the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to decreased compensation and benefits expenses between periods.

        During the first quarter of 2019, there was a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $2.2 million attributable to a strengthening of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso relative to the US dollar at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 on the Company's net monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A non-cash foreign currency translation gain of $3.5 million was recorded during the comparative first quarter of 2018.

        In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded income and mining taxes expense of $15.5 million on income before income and mining taxes of $52.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.5%. 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%. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the first quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in permanent differences and foreign exchange rate movements.

        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 decreased by 13.8% to 77,433 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 89,785 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to lower gold grade ore processed from the mining sequence. Production costs at the LaRonde mine were $61.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 4.8% compared with production costs of $64.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by decreased mill production costs and the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.

LaRonde Zone 5 mine

        At the LaRonde Zone 5 mine, gold production was 12,988 ounces in the first quarter of 2019. Production costs at the LaRonde Zone 5 mine were $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. As the LaRonde Zone 5 mine achieved commercial production in June 2018, there is no comparable period in the first quarter of 2018.

Lapa mine

        Mining and processing operations at Lapa ended in December 2018. Closure activities for the underground infrastructure were completed in the first quarter of 2019. Surface work is currently ongoing by the site reclamation team.

Goldex mine

        At the Goldex mine, gold production increased by 23.4% to 34,454 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 27,924 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher gold grade ore processed. Production costs at the Goldex mine were $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 2.6% compared with production costs of $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by slightly higher re-handling costs, partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.

Meadowbank mine

        At the Meadowbank mine, gold production decreased by 29.2% to 43,502 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 61,447 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to anticipated lower gold grade ore processed and decreased mill throughput as the mine transitions to the Amaruq satellite deposit in the second half of 2019. Production costs at the Meadowbank mine were $41.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 31.9% compared with production costs of $61.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by a decrease in the open pit mining, the timing of inventory sales and the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods, partially offset by higher re-handling costs.

Canadian Malartic mine

        Agnico Eagle and Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") jointly acquired 100% of Osisko Mining Corporation ("Osisko") on June 16, 2014 pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Osisko Arrangement"). As a result of the Osisko Arrangement, Agnico Eagle and Yamana each indirectly own 50% of Osisko and Canadian Malartic General Partnership ("CMGP"), a general partnership (the "Partnership"), which now holds the Canadian Malartic mine in northwestern Quebec.

        At the Canadian Malartic mine, attributable gold production was virtually unchanged between 83,670 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 and 83,403 ounces in the first quarter of 2018. Attributable production costs at the Canadian Malartic mine were $49.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 5.2% compared with production costs of $47.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a lower capitalized deferred stripping costs, partially offset by lower re-handling costs and the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar between periods.

        On August 2, 2016, CMGP 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 was 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 under its Good Neighbor Guide (the "Guide"). In September 2018, the Superior Court introduced an annual revision of the ending date of the class action period and a mechanism for the partial exclusion of class members, allowing the residents to individually settle for a specific period (usually a calendar year) and to opt-out from the class action for such specific period. Both of these judgments were confirmed by the Court of Appeal and the class members will thus continue to have the option to benefit from the Guide. In January 2018, a judgment was rendered in favor of the Partnership, resulting in the removal from the class action of the pre-transaction period, spanning from August 2013 to June 16, 2014, during which the Canadian Malartic mine was not operated by the Partnership. The plaintiffs did not seek leave to appeal this decision and will rather add new allegations in an attempt to recapture the pre-transaction 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 impact 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.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

        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 occurred in October 2018, but no judgment has been rendered. 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 increased by 2.5% to 49,336 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 48,118 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher gold grade ore processed. Production costs at the Kittila mine were $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 9.6% compared with production costs of $42.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by a decrease in re-handling costs and the weakening of the Euro relative to the US dollar between periods.

Pinos Altos mine

        At the Pinos Altos mine, gold production increased by 2.1% to 42,730 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 41,836 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher gold grade ore processed at the mill. Production costs at the Pinos Altos mine were $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 14.5% compared with production costs of $34.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by a decrease in open pit mining costs as the Pinos Altos mine transitioned into a predominantly underground mining operation towards the end of 2018, the timing of inventory sales and the weakening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.

Creston Mascota mine

        At the Creston Mascota mine, gold production increased by 12.9% to 13,529 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 11,988 ounces in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher gold grade processed on the heap leach and optimizations made to the heap leaching process, partially offset by lower tonnes processed at the heap leach. Production costs at the Creston Mascota mine were $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 1.9% compared with production costs of $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by the timing of inventory sales, partially offset by the weakening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.

La India mine

        At the La India mine, gold production was virtually unchanged between 22,988 ounces in the first quarter of 2019 and 23,055 ounces in the first quarter of 2018. Production costs at the La India mine were $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 15.2% compared with production costs of $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by higher chemicals and reagents costs, the timing of inventory sales, partially offset by the weakening of the Mexican peso relative to the US dollar between periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        As at March 31, 2019, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $196.5 million compared with $307.9 million as at December 31, 2018. 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

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

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 $633.1 million as at March 31, 2019 compared with $711.0 million as at December 31, 2018.

        Subject to various risks and uncertainties, the Company believes it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations and has adequate cash and debt facilities available to finance its current operations, contractual obligations and planned capital expenditure and exploration programs.

Operating Activities

        Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $148.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $207.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a 3.5% decrease in payable gold ounces sold, lower realized gold prices and less favourable working capital changes between periods.

Investing Activities

        Cash used in investing activities decreased to $227.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $354.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a $162.5 million decrease in acquisitions, partially offset by a $20.5 million increase in the purchase of investments and a $17.3 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 2019 related to the Amaruq satellite project.

        In the first quarter of 2019, the Company purchased $25.0 million in equity securities and other investments compared with $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. The Company's equity securities and other investments consist primarily of investments in common shares and financial instruments of entities in the mining industry.

Financing Activities

        Cash used in financing activities of $33.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 was comparable with cash used in financing activities of $34.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in proceeds from stock option plan exercises, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in dividend payments between periods.

        The Company issued common shares for net proceeds of $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 attributable to employee stock option plan exercises, issuances under the incentive share purchase plan and the dividend reinvestment plan.

        On February 14, 2019, Agnico Eagle declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share paid on March 15, 2019 to holders of record of the common shares of the Company on March 1, 2019. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company paid dividends of $25.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million compared to $22.6 million paid in the first quarter of 2018. Although the Company expects to continue paying dividends, future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be subject to factors such as income, financial condition and capital requirements.

        Repayments of lease obligations of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 increased compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to the adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, leases were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were recognized as an expense in the statement of income and through operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases where it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Leases are recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability. The principal amount of lease payments in

        On December 14, 2018, the Company amended its $1.2 billion Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") to extend the maturity date from June 22, 2022 to June 22, 2023. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As at March 31, 2019, $1,200.0 million was available for future drawdown under the Credit Facility.

        On June 29, 2016, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit facility with a financial institution providing for a C$100.0 million uncommitted letter of credit facility (the "Third LC Facility"). Letters of credit issued under the Third LC Facility may be used to support the reclamation obligations or non-financial or performance obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries. The obligations of the Company under the Third LC Facility are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries. As at March 31, 2019, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the Third LC Facility amounted to $38.5 million.

        On September 23, 2015, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit facility with a financial institution providing for a C$150.0 million uncommitted letter of credit facility (as amended, the "Second LC Facility"). The Second LC Facility may be used by the Company to support the reclamation obligations of the Company, its subsidiaries or any entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest or the performance obligations (other than with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money) of the Company, its subsidiaries or any entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest that are not directly related to reclamation obligations. Payment and performance of the Company's obligations under the Second LC Facility are supported by an account performance security guarantee issued by Export Development Canada in favour of the lender. As at March 31, 2019, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the Second LC Facility amounted to $89.5 million.

        On July 31, 2015, the Company amended its credit agreement with another financial institution relating to its uncommitted letter of credit facility (as amended, the "First LC Facility"). Effective September 27, 2016, the amount available under the First LC Facility was increased to C$350.0 million. The obligations of the Company under the First LC Facility are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries. The First LC Facility may be used to support the reclamation obligations or non-financial or performance obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries. As at March 31, 2019, the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit under the First LC Facility amount to $187.0 million.

        The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility, First LC Facility, Second LC Facility, Third LC Facility and the $1,735.0 million guaranteed senior unsecured notes as at March 31, 2019.

Risk Profile

        The Company is subject to significant risks, including but not limited to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and other risks due to the inherent nature of the business of exploration, development and mining of properties with precious metals. Changes in 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. For a more comprehensive discussion of these inherent risks, see "Risk Factors" in our Form 40-F/Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018 on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities.

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 2019 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. The Company does not exclude stock based compensation expense in its calculation of adjusted net income. Stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2018 — $7.8 million).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 and 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 and other adjustments 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 analysis 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 and 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.

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 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 and other adjustments 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 from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. 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 reflect production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory and smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with production.

(vi)
The Lapa mine's per ounce of gold produced calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 excludes 5 ounces of payable gold production recovered as a result of final refining reconciliation.

All-in Sustaining Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced

        The World Gold Council ("WGC") is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry. Although the WGC is not a mining industry regulatory organization, it has worked closely with its member companies to develop relevant non-GAAP measures. The Company follows the guidance on all-in sustaining costs released by the WGC in November 2018. Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost metric is voluntary and 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 helpful 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), non-cash reclamation provision expense and sustaining leases 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.

        The following table sets out a reconciliation of production costs to all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).

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 presented 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 analysis in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.

(vi)
The Lapa mine's data presented on a per ounce of gold produced basis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 excludes 5 ounces of payable gold production recovered as a result of final refining reconciliation.

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 26, 2019.

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 should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2018 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, 2018, 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

      Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

    B)
    Basis of Presentation

      Overview

      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. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.

      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, 2018 annual audited consolidated financial statements except as described below for new accounting standards adopted effective January 1, 2019.

    New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Period

    IFRS 16 — Leases

    The Company has adopted IFRS 16 — Leases ("IFRS 16") with the date of initial application of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 — Leases ("IAS 17") (accounting standard in effect for those periods). The impact of adoption of IFRS 16 is disclosed in Note 10.

    The following policies are applicable from January 1, 2019. In the comparative period, leases were accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for leases disclosed in the Company's December 31, 2018 annual audited consolidated financial statements.

    Policy applicable from January 1, 2019:

    At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether:

    the contract involves the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset;
    the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the contract term;
    the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

    The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use).

    Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the initial amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

    Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

    At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments include fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees and the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company.

    After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

    The Company presents right-of-use assets in the property, plant and mine development line item on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and lease liabilities in the lease obligations line item on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets.

    Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

    The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option or for leases related to low value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as an expense in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

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, 2018, except for new significant judgments related to the application of IFRS 16. The Company has applied judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which may significantly affect the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

5.     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 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.

    Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

    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, 2019, 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 fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

    The following table sets out the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2019 using the fair value hierarchy:

5.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

    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 are recorded at fair value using external broker-dealer quotations corroborated by option pricing models (classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

    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.

    Fair value of financial assets and liabilities not measured and recognized at fair value

    Long-term debt is recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2019 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. See Note 9 to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for details.

    Lease obligations are recorded on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2019 at amortized cost. The fair value of lease obligations is the present value of the future lease payments discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate. It is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term, future lease payments or changes in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. The fair value of lease liabilities is not materially different from the carrying amounts since the incremental borrowing rates used at the initial recognition date are close to current market rates at March 31, 2019.

6.     INVENTORIES

    During the three months ended March 31, 2019, impairment losses of $1.9 million (2018 — $1.0 million) were recorded within production costs to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value.

A mark-to-market adjustment of $0.9 million was recognized in the other expense (income) line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

8.     PROPERTY, PLANT AND MINE DEVELOPMENT

    During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $296.8 million of additions (year ended December 31, 2018 — $1,265.5 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, 2019 were approximately $1.7 million (year ended December 31, 2018 — $7.9 million) at a capitalization rate of 1.32% (year ended December 31, 2018 — 1.33%).

    Assets with a net book value of $2.3 million were disposed of by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (year ended December 31, 2018 — $14.1 million), resulting in a net loss on disposal of $2.1 million (year ended December 31, 2018 — net gain on disposal of $22.8 million).

10.   LEASES

    The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of January 1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company also elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the

10.   LEASES (Continued)

    commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value.

    On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17. The right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognized.

    The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.

    The Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16:

    Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term remaining at January 1, 2019;

    Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;

    Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

    For leases that were classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 are determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

    Upon transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized an additional $81.8 million of right-of-use assets and $81.8 million of lease liabilities. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 2.3%.

    The lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018 as follows:

    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:

Net income for the period

  $ 37,032   $ 44,930  
             
 

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — basic (in thousands)

    234,570     232,490  
 

Add: Dilutive impact of common shares related to the RSU plan, PSU plan and LTIP

    797     755  
 

Add: Dilutive impact of employee stock options

    851     1,330  
             
 

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted (in thousands)

    236,218     234,575  
             
 

Net income per share — basic

  $ 0.16   $ 0.19  
             
 

Net income per share — diluted

  $ 0.16   $ 0.19  
             

    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, 2019, 3,703,299 (2018 — 3,857,965) employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

12.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

    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,
 
   
  2019   2018  
 

Risk-free interest rate

    2.23%     2.10%  
 

Expected life of stock options (in years)

    2.4     2.4  
 

Expected volatility of Agnico Eagle's share price

    30.0%     35.0%  
 

Expected dividend yield

    1.15%     1.00%  

    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.

    Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the three months ended March 31, 2019 amounted to $6.8 million (2018 — $8.0 million). Of the total compensation expense for the ESOP, $0.6 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, 2019 (2018 — $0.2 million).

    B)
    Incentive Share Purchase Plan ("ISPP")

    During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 127,905 common shares were subscribed for under the ISPP (2018 — 121,825) for a value of $5.9 million (2018 — $5.1 million). The total compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the ISPP was $2.0 million (2018 — $1.7 million).

    C)
    Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan

    During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 404,100 (2018 — 372,200) RSUs were granted with a grant date fair value of $16.3 million (2018 — $17.9 million). In the first quarter of 2019, the Company funded the RSU plan by transferring $16.3 million (2018 — $17.3 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 $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 — $3.6 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, 2019, 190,500 (2018 — 180,000) PSUs were granted. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company funded the PSU plan by transferring $7.7 million (2018 — $8.4 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, 2019 (2018 — $2.2 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.

15.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

    As at March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts related to $461.0 million of 2019 expenditures. The Company recognized mark-to-market adjustments in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income. The Company did not apply hedge accounting to these arrangements.

    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 2019 and 2018 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, 2019 or December 31, 2018. 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 primarily with Nunavut's diesel fuel exposure as it relates to operating costs. There were derivative financial instruments outstanding as at March 31, 2019 relating to 12.0 million gallons of heating oil (December 31, 2018 — 12.0 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 did 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.

    The following table sets out a summary of the amounts recognized in the gain on derivative financial instruments line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income:

   
  Three Months Ended

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, 2019, the total amount of these guarantees was $360.3 million.

    As at March 31, 2019 the Company had $73.5 million of commitments related to capital expenditures.

18.   ONGOING LITIGATION

    On August 2, 2016, the Partnership, a general partnership jointly owned by the Company and Yamana, 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 under its Good Neighbor Guide (the "Guide"). In September 2018, the Superior Court introduced an annual revision of the ending date of the class action period and a mechanism for the partial exclusion of class members, allowing the residents to individually settle for a specific period (usually a calendar year) and to opt-out from the class action for such specific period. Both of these judgments were confirmed by the Court of Appeal and the class members will thus continue to have the option to benefit from the Guide. In January 2018, a judgment was rendered in favor of the Partnership, resulting in the removal from the class action of the pre-transaction period, spanning from August 2013 to June 16, 2014, during which the Canadian Malartic mine was not operated by the Partnership. The plaintiff did not seek leave to appeal this decision and will rather add new allegations in an attempt to recapture the pre-transaction 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 impact 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.

    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 occurred in October 2018, but no judgment has been rendered. 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 25, 2019, Agnico Eagle announced that the Board approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share (a total value of approximately $29.4 million), payable on June 14, 2019 to holders of record of the common shares of the Company on May 31, 2019.
