Management Commentary

Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “OR Royalties’ is on track to achieve its 2025 annual guidance of 80,000-88,000 GEOs, as we expect a slightly stronger second half in terms of GEOs earned. Looking a bit closer at some of our major GEO contributors over the past six months, we have seen continued outperformance at Canadian Malartic largely offsetting silver grade-related underperformance at Mantos Blancos.   

Elsewhere, we were pleased to have received our first royalty payments during the second quarter from both Cardinal Namdini Mining’s Namdini gold mine in Ghana, as well as Talisker Resources’ Bralorne gold mine in British Columbia, bringing the total number of producing assets in our portfolio to 22. We wish both operators the best going forward as they ramp up their respective operations over the balance of the year.       

As stated previously in our June 2, 2025, press release, through the first seven months of the year, there have been a number of positive advancements on several portfolio assets that sit outside of our current 5-year outlook. In addition to all of that progress, we are also expecting the following key portfolio catalysts before year-end: Capstone Copper’s Phase II Expansion Feasibility Study for Mantos Blancos; Alamos Gold’s Island Gold District Expansion Study; Gold Fields’ updated Feasibility Study for Windfall, along with the project’s final permits; Ramelius Resources’ Integrated Feasibility Study for Dalgaranga, as well as potential for first gold production from the mine later this year; Orla Mining’s Updated Feasibility Study for South Railroad; updates from Osisko Development as it commences mine construction activities at Cariboo; and, finally, the closing of Harmony Gold’s acquisition of MAC Copper, resulting in CSA being subsequently optimized by one of the best deep underground mining operators in the world.   

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the present strength of the Company’s balance sheet, not only due to our recently increased revolving credit facility, but also given the fact that as of June 30, 2025, OR Royalties was in a net-cash position for the first time in several years. This enhanced liquidity provides the Company with the financial capacity to pursue accretive growth opportunities.”

Notes:

1. Gold Equivalent Ounces

    

   GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver ounces and copper tonnes earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Cash royalties and other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

    

Average Metal Prices 

1. The average price represents the London Bullion Market Association’s PM price in U.S. dollars per ounce.
2. The average price represents the London Bullion Market Association’s price in U.S. dollars per ounce.
3. The average price represents the London Metal Exchange’s price in U.S. dollars per tonne.
4. Bank of Canada daily rate.

1. Three months ended June 30, 2024 (“Q2 2024”).

1. Non-IFRS Measures

Cash margin

Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by OR Royalties as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained from the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues.

Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross profit and operating cash flows, to evaluate OR Royalties’ performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of the cash margin per type of interests (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below:

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share 

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by OR Royalties by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversal related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairment of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of assets, gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. 

Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of OR Royalties as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share, investors and analysts use adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of OR Royalties, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in OR Royalties’ annual guidance. While the adjustments to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are useful measures of OR Royalties’ performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of the core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. 

A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings is presented below:
