The company said adjusted income, excluding most one-time items, rose to US$1.09 billion, or US$2.16 per share, from US$573 million, or US$1.14, in the year-prior quarter. FactSet expected US$1.97 per share.

Agnico Eagle reaffirmed its 2025 gold production guidance of 3.3 million to 3.5 million ounces. It said that if gold prices stay high through the rest of the year, the company expects total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) to move toward the upper end of its respective ranges, US$915 to US$965 per ounce and US$1,250 to US$1,300 per ounce, "reflecting the strong commodity price environment and associated royalty costs impact."
