Operator

Good morning. My name is Vincent, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Agnico Eagle Q3 2024 Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.

Mr. Ammar Al-Joundi, you may begin your conference.

Ammar Al-Joundi

Thank you, operator, and good morning, and thank you for joining our call today. Before we begin, may I ask you to please take note of the forward-looking statements.

I'd like to start this morning by thanking our entire team at Agnico Eagle at all sites and across all functions for delivering another solid operating quarter. For doing it safely, for doing it responsibly, all while contributing to the communities in which we operate. This consistent and reliable operational performance with an emphasis on cost control and capital discipline has allowed us to deliver tremendous margin expansion for our shareholders and to deliver record financial results for the fourth consecutive quarter, including record operating cash flow and record adjusted net income, all while strengthening the balance sheet, buying back shares and paying a strong dividend. We firmly believe the benefit of a rising gold price should go to our owners, not to increase costs, not to pour capital deployment, but to our owners.

With this in mind, during this call, we will talk not only about our record financial results, but also about our record operational results at our mines, in our mills and throughout the organization, from exploration, to procurement, to treasury and beyond, all as a result of continued efforts to optimize our business.
