Toronto, Ontario, August 9, 2017 - IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”) reported its
consolidated financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
"We had another outstanding quarter," said Steve Letwin, President and CEO of IAMGOLD. "Rosebel and
Essakane are benefitting from major operational improvements and the Westwood ramp-up remains on
track. Net operating cash flow increased 25% from the same quarter last year and 30% from the previous
quarter, and our year-to-date gross profit was 129% higher than the previous year. Our balance sheet
remains strong with $800 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
“The pace of transformation at IAMGOLD is accelerating," continued Mr. Letwin. "A number of catalysts
have moved into gear as we execute both short-cycle and long-cycle growth strategies. The Rosebel
concession increased its reserves by 80% and next month we expect an initial resource estimate for
Saramacca. We entered into a joint venture for our Côté Gold Project and completed a pre-feasibility
study, which saw a significant conversion of resources to reserves and demonstrated low operating costs
and an attractive rate of return."

SECOND QUARTER 2017 HIGHLIGHTS
Financial Performance
• Revenues for the second quarter 2017 were $274.5 million, up $42.0 million or 18% from the same
prior year period, primarily due to higher sales at Essakane ($30.0 million) and Westwood ($17.4
million), partially offset by a lower realized gold price ($4.3 million) and lower sales at Rosebel ($1.4
million).
• Cost of sales for the second quarter 2017 was $238.6 million, up $30.5 million or 15% from the same
prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher operating costs ($19.7 million), higher
depreciation ($9.2 million) and higher royalties expense ($1.6 million). Operating costs were higher
primarily as a result of higher sales and lower capitalized stripping at Essakane and higher mining
activities at Westwood.
• Depreciation expense for the second quarter 2017 was $71.5 million, up $9.2 million from the same
prior year period primarily due to higher production and sales and higher amortization of capitalized
stripping at Essakane, partially offset by lower amortization of capitalized stripping at Rosebel.
• Income tax expense for the second quarter 2017 was $53.5 million, up $39.5 million from the same
prior year period. Income tax expense for the second quarter 2017 comprised current income tax
expense of $19.7 million (2016 - $4.6 million) and deferred income tax expense of $33.8 million (2016
- $9.4 million). The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to changes to deferred income
tax assets and liabilities as a result of the reversals of impairment charges and fluctuations in foreign
exchange, and differences in the level of taxable income in our operating jurisdictions from one period
to the next.
• Net earnings attributable to equity holders for the second quarter 2017 was $506.5 million ($1.09 per
share), up from a net loss of $12.2 million ($0.03 per share) for the same prior year period. The
increase of $518.7 million or $1.12 per share was mainly due to reversals of impairment charges
relating to the Côté Gold Project and the Rosebel mine ($524.1 million) and the resulting gain on the
sale of a 30% interest in the Côté Gold Project ($19.2 million), and higher gross profit ($11.5 million),
partially offset by higher income tax expense ($39.5 million).
• Adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders2 for the second quarter 2017 were $4.3 million
($0.01 per share2), down $1.6 million ($nil per share) from the same prior year period.
• Net cash from operating activities for the second quarter 2017 was $88.7 million, up $17.5 million from
the same prior year period. The increase was mainly due to higher earnings after non-cash
adjustments ($13.3 million), a change in the movement of non-cash working capital items ($13.0
million), and lower net settlement of derivatives ($3.7 million), partially offset by an increase in income
taxes paid ($12.0 million).
• Net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital2 for the second quarter 2017 was
$70.4 million, up $4.5 million from the same prior year period.
Financial Position
• Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $800.1 million at June 30, 2017, up $37.4 million
from December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of the
7.00% senior secured notes on March 16, 2017 ($393.6 million), cash generated from operating
activities ($173.7 million), net proceeds from the sale of a 30% interest in the Côté Gold Project ($96.5
million), proceeds from the issuance of flow-through shares ($15.1 million), partially offset by the
redemption of the 6.75% senior unsecured notes ($505.6 million), spending on Property, plant and
equipment and Exploration and evaluation assets ($93.8 million), interest paid ($16.5 million) and
income taxes paid ($16.7 million).
Production and Costs
• Attributable gold production, inclusive of joint venture operations, was 223,000 ounces for the second
quarter 2017, up 26,000 ounces from the same prior year period. The increase was due to the continued ramp-up at Westwood (17,000 ounces) and higher throughput at Essakane (12,000
ounces), partially offset by lower grades at Sadiola (4,000 ounces).
• Attributable gold sales, inclusive of joint venture operations, were 219,000 ounces for the second
quarter 2017, up 32,000 ounces from the same prior year period, primarily due to higher sales at
Essakane (21,000 ounces) and Westwood (14,000 ounces).
• Cost of sales1 per ounce for the second quarter 2017 was $767, down 5% from the same prior year period due to higher sales, partially offset by the factors noted in the Cost of sales discussion in the Financial Performance section above.
• Total cash costs2 per ounce produced for the second quarter 2017 were $735, down 3% from the same prior year period primarily due to higher production, partially offset by lower capitalized stripping
due to mine sequencing at Essakane. The normalization of Westwood's costs was discontinued in the second quarter 2017 (Q2/16 - $23 per ounce produced) and realized derivative losses were $nil (Q2/16 - gain of $2 per ounce produced).
• All-in sustaining costs2 per ounce sold were $975 for the second quarter 2017,12% lower than the
same prior year period as a result of lower sustaining capital expenditures. The normalization of Westwood's costs was discontinued in the second quarter 2017 (Q2/16 - $24 per ounce sold) and realized derivative losses were $nil (Q2/16 - gain of $2 per ounce sold).
Commitment to Zero Harm Continues
• The DART rate3, representing the frequency of all types of serious injuries across IAMGOLD for the second quarter 2017 was 0.44, below our target of 0.56.
