Royal Gold Reports Third Quarter Results with Record Revenue, Significant Increases in Operating Cash Flow and Earnings, and a Debt-Free Balance Sheet
DENVER, COLORADO. NOVEMBER 6, 2024: ROYAL GOLD, INC. (NASDAQ: RGLD) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) reports net income of $96.2 million, or $1.46 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, ("third quarter") on record revenue of $193.8 million and operating cash flow of $136.7 million. Adjusted net income1 was a record $96.6 million, or $1.47 per share.
“The third quarter of 2024 was another excellent quarter for Royal Gold, and our results demonstrate the leverage our business provides to a strong and rising gold price,” commented Bill Heissenbuttel, President and CEO of Royal Gold. “Solid portfolio performance underpinned our exposure to record gold prices during the quarter, and while the gold price increased 28% from the prior year, over the same period we recognized much higher increases of 40% to revenue and 46% to adjusted EBITDA. Our low and stable G&A expense insulates us from direct exposure to inflationary cost pressures and we maintained our very healthy margins with full exposure to the rising gold price over the quarter."
"During the quarter we also saw new revenue contributions from the Manh Choh and Côté Gold mines and we completely repaid our outstanding borrowings on our credit facility," continued Mr. Heissenbuttel. "Our strategy is to provide our shareholders with full exposure to portfolio growth, and we have avoided diluting our shareholders' exposure to that growth by being disciplined with respect to our use of short-term and flexible debt financing."

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:
•Record revenue of $193.8 million, a 40% increase over the prior year period
•Operating cash flow of $136.7 million and earnings of $96.2 million; 39% and 95% increases, respectively, over the prior year period
•Record adjusted earnings of $96.6 million
•Revenue split: 76% gold, 12% silver, 9% copper
•Sales volume of 78,400 GEOs2
•Sustained high adjusted EBITDA margin1 of 81%
•Repaid $50 million of debt, reducing total debt to $0
•Total available liquidity increased to approximately $1.1 billion
•Paid quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, a 7% increase over the prior year period
•First royalty revenue recognized from the newly-producing Côté Gold and Manh Choh mines
Recent Portfolio Developments
Principal Property Updates
Notable recent updates as reported by the operators of our Principal Properties include:
Mount Milligan Guidance Maintained with Work Continuing on Site-Wide Optimization and Preliminary Economic Assessment
On October 31, 2024, Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") reported that 2024 production guidance at the Mount Milligan mine in British Columbia remains unchanged at 180,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold and 55 to 65 million pounds of copper, with gold production trending towards the lower end of the range.
Centerra also reported that work continues on the site-wide optimization program, and notable achievements in the first nine months of 2024 include an improved safety record, increased availability and utilization of the haul fleet, and consistent ore supply which has led to increased mill throughput per operating day. In addition, Centerra is progressing work on a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) to evaluate the substantial mineral resources at Mount Milligan with a goal to unlock additional value beyond its current 2035 mine life. Centerra expects the PEA to be completed towards the end of the first half of 2025.
1 Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See Schedule A of this press release for additional information, including a detailed description of adjustments to net income.
2 See Schedule A of this press release for additional information about gold equivalent ounces, or GEOs.

Increased Water Availability at Andacollo
On October 24, 2024, Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") reported that mill throughput at the Andacollo mine in Chile improved in the third quarter driven by increased water availability. According to Teck, lower tonnes were milled at Andacollo earlier in the year due to water restrictions caused by extreme drought conditions.
Improved Mining and Milling Volumes and Continued Progress on the Expansion at Khoemacau
On October 24, 2024, MMG Limited (“MMG”) provided an update on operations at the Khoemacau mine in Botswana. MMG reported improved mining and milling volumes and higher ore grades at Zone 5 during the third quarter compared to the previous quarter. According to MMG, operations were enhanced due to the gradual onboarding of skilled labor and increased availability of equipment, and the mining sequence allowed access to higher-grade areas. Improved controls on dilution also supported the increase in ore mined grades. MMG also reported that underground development advance increased by 25% during the quarter, which MMG expects will lead to greater mining volumes, access to higher-grade mining areas, and will increase mining flexibility in the near and medium term.
MMG also reported that it expects production at Zone 5 to further ramp up over the next year, and that it is committed to accessing the higher-grade areas to achieve an annual production of 60,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate by 2026. This will be facilitated by ongoing development efforts to increase mining fronts, operational flexibility and access to higher-grade areas. These efforts will be further enhanced by constructing a paste fill plant to increase extraction rates and completion of the installation of primary vent fans.
MMG plans to expand total production capacity at Khoemacau to 130,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate per year by building a new 4.5 million tonne per year process plant, increasing Zone 5 output, and developing additional deposits. MMG expects to begin the expansion feasibility study by the end of 2024, begin construction in 2026, produce first concentrate in 2028, and reach full capacity by 2029. Any expanded production from the Zone 5 and Mango NE deposits falls within the area of interest covered by Royal Gold’s silver stream.
Plant Optimization Continuing at Pueblo Viejo
On October 16, 2024, Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") issued production results for the third quarter at Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic. According to Barrick, Pueblo Viejo delivered a 23% improvement in gold production in the third quarter compared to the second quarter due to continued plant optimization.
New Collective Bargain Agreement and Transition to Higher Gold Grade Ore at Peñasquito
On October 18, 2024, Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") reported that it had agreed on a new Collective Bargain Agreement (CBA) at Peñasquito in Mexico for 2024-2026 with the National Union of Mining, Metallurgical, Steel, and Similar Workers of Mexico. According to Newmont, this CBA provides a solid foundation for continuing operations at Peñasquito.
On October 23, 2024, Newmont reported that it delivered steady gold, silver, lead and zinc production in the third quarter from the Chile Colorado pit and commenced mining ore in the higher gold grade Peñasco pit, ahead of plan due to efficient stripping. Newmont expects this will result in an increase in gold production in the fourth quarter and into 2025.
Other Property Updates
Notable recent updates as reported by the operators of other select portfolio assets include:
Producing Properties
Bellevue (2% NSR royalty): On October 21, 2024, Bellevue Gold Limited (“Bellevue”) reported that the Bellevue Gold mine in Western Australia is on track to meet fiscal year 2025 gold production of 165,000 to 180,000 ounces, with production weighted to the second half of the fiscal year and reaching a rate of 200,000 ounces per year by the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Bellevue further reported that access to the sixth mining area is complete with the establishment of the Tribune Portal. The Tribune Portal provides an additional mining front and haulage decline as well as the jump-off point for the Southern Belle decline, which is a key platform for exploration and mine life extension.
Côté Gold (1% NSR royalty): IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD") disclosed on October 15, 2024, that ramp-up of the processing plant at the Côté Gold mine in Ontario continues and is on track to achieve 90% of the design throughput rate by the end of 2024. IAMGOLD expects total gold production in 2024 to be at the lower end of the 220,000 to 290,000 ounce guidance range.
King of the Hills (1.5% NSR royalty): On October 22, 2024, Vault Minerals Limited ("Vault"), previously Red 5 Mining Limited, reported reserves and resources for the King of the Hills ("KOTH") mine in Western Australia. According to Vault, gold contained in mineral resources and reserves at KOTH was 4.1 million ounces and 2.1 million ounces, respectively, as of June 30, 2024.
2

Mara Rosa (1.0% NSR and 1.75% NSR royalties): On October 23, 2024, Hochschild Mining PLC (“Hochschild”) reported gold production from the Mara Rosa mine in Brazil of approximately 23,750 ounces in the third quarter. According to Hochschild, Mara Rosa steadily increased output throughout the third quarter and the plant operated consistently at full capacity in September. Hochschild further reported that 3,011 meters of resource drilling was completed below the Posse pit, and will continue in the fourth quarter.
Manh Choh (3% NSR royalty and 28% NSR royalty on silver): On November 5, 2024, Kinross (70% owner and operator) reported the first quarter of production at the Manh Choh Project in Alaska. First gold from Manh Choh was poured at the Fort Knox mill on July 8, 2024, and Kinross disclosed production of approximately 98,600 GEOs in the third quarter from the processing of 379,786 tonnes of ore at a grade of 9.13 grams per tonne.
Rainy River (6.5% gold stream, 60% silver stream): New Gold Inc. ("New Gold") reported on October 30, 2024, that the first development ore was mined from the Underground Main zone in late September, ahead of schedule, and underground mining at Intrepid continues to perform well. New Gold also reported that it is evaluating the potential for further open pit pushbacks and/or satellite pits, exploration drilling continues to advance on underground targets, and an updated NI 43-101 technical report is expected in the first quarter of 2025. New Gold further reported that gold production from the Rainy River mine in Ontario for 2024 is expected to be lower than previously planned and in the range of 230,000 to 240,000 ounces.
Voisey's Bay (2.7% net value royalty): On October 24, 2024, Vale S.A. ("Vale") reported that the second underground mine of the Voisey's Bay Mine Extension ("VBME") project in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, had achieved mechanical completion. According to Vale, development ore extraction at the Eastern Deeps deposit has started and the mine is continuing its scheduled production ramp up. Vale is targeting annual production from VBME of 45,000 tonnes of nickel and 20,000 tonnes of copper at full production levels.
Wassa (10.5% gold stream): On August 27, 2024, Chifeng Gold ("Chifeng") completed an Independent Competent Person's Report ("ICPR") for the Wassa Gold Mine in Ghana. According to the ICPR, open pit and underground reserves are to be mined through 2028, and the mining of potentially economic material in the Southern Extension could add multi-decades beyond the reserve life.
Development and Evaluation Properties
Back River (equivalent ~3.3% GSR royalty on the Goose Project): On September 12, 2024, B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold") provided an update on construction status at the Goose Project in the Back River Gold District in Nunavut, Canada. According to B2Gold, development is on track for the first gold pour in the second quarter of 2025 with a ramp up to commercial production in the third quarter of 2025. B2Gold estimates that gold production in 2025 will be between 120,000 and 150,000 ounces, and the average annual production from 2026 to 2030 will be approximately 310,000 ounces per year. Royal Gold's royalty rate on the Goose Project will increase to the approximate equivalent 3.3% GSR royalty rate as certain production thresholds are met.
Great Bear (2% NSR royalty): On September 10, 2024, Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) released the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on the Great Bear Project in Ontario, which highlighted an initial mine life of approximately 12 years, and gold production of over 500,000 ounces per year in the first 8 years. Kinross also reported that additional deep drilling from surface demonstrates the continuation of mineralization at depth and the upside potential for further resource and mine life additions in the future. Kinross disclosed that exploration, permitting, and engineering work streams are continuing and is targeting first production in mid-2029.
Third Quarter 2024 Overview
For the third quarter, we recorded net income and comprehensive income of $96.2 million, or $1.46 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $49.3 million, or $0.75 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher revenue and lower interest expense, as discussed below.
For the third quarter, we recognized record total revenue of $193.8 million, comprised of stream revenue of $133.1 million and royalty revenue of $60.8 million at an average gold price of $2,474 per ounce, an average silver price of $29.43 per ounce and an average copper price of $4.18 per pound. This compares to total revenue of $138.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, comprised of stream revenue of $99.0 million and royalty revenue of $39.6 million, at an average gold price of $1,928 per ounce, an average silver price of $23.57 per ounce and an average copper price of $3.79 per pound.
The increase in our total revenue resulted primarily from higher average gold, silver and copper prices compared to the prior period. Higher gold sales from Mount Milligan, higher gold and silver sales from Pueblo Viejo, higher gold, silver, zinc and lead production from Peñasquito, and new revenue of $12.6 million from non-principal royalties also contributed to the
3

increase. These increases were partially offset by lower gold sales from Andacollo, lower production from the Cortez Legacy Zone and lower silver sales from Khoemacau when compared to the prior year period.
Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A"), increased to $27.2 million for the third quarter, from $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase, when compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to higher gold, silver and copper prices, higher gold sales from Mount Milligan and higher silver sales from Pueblo Viejo. The increase was partially offset by lower gold sales from Andacollo and lower silver sales from Khoemacau compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and, except for Mount Milligan, is the result of our purchase of metal for a cash payment that is a set contractual percentage of the spot price for that metal near the date of metal delivery. For Mount Milligan, the cash payments under the existing stream agreement are the lesser of $435 per ounce or the prevailing market price of gold when purchased, and 15% of the spot price for copper near the date of metal delivery. Separately, and in addition to the cash payments under the existing stream agreement, the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement (detailed in Note 5 of our notes to consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) provides for cash payments on gold and copper deliveries that are expected to begin after certain thresholds are met, or earlier, if metal prices are below certain thresholds and if requested by Centerra.
General and administrative costs increased to $10.1 million for the third quarter, from $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher non-cash stock compensation expense compared to the prior year period.
DD&A decreased to $36.2 million for the third quarter, from $40.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower stream depletion rates as a result of proven and probable mineral reserve increases by our operators when compared to the prior year period, lower silver sales from Khoemacau, lower gold sales from Andacollo and lower gold production at Cortez compared to the prior year period. The decrease was partially offset by higher gold sales from Mount Milligan and higher gold and silver sales from Pueblo Viejo.
Interest and other expense decreased to $1.2 million for the third quarter, from $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of lower average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility averaged $14 million at an average all-in borrowing rate of 6.5% compared to average amounts outstanding of $380 million at an average all-in borrowing rate of 6.7% for the prior year period.
For the third quarter, we recorded income tax expense of $21.5 million, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The income tax expense resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.3% in the current period, compared with 17.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The higher income tax expense for the third quarter was primarily attributable to higher income before income taxes compared to the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $136.7 million for the third quarter, compared to $98.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase, when compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to higher stream and royalty revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $3.4 million for the third quarter, compared to approximately $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change from the comparable prior year period was primarily due to payment in the third quarter to a subsidiary of Ero Copper Corp. ("Ero") of the final $3.2 million outstanding under the commitment to support regional exploration at the Xavantina mine.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $79.6 million for the third quarter, compared to $101.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease, when compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the repayment of outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $50 million in the third quarter, compared to $75 million in the prior year quarter.
Other Corporate Updates
Outstanding Debt Repaid and Total Available Liquidity Increased to Approximately $1.1 Billion at the end of the Third Quarter
During the third quarter, we repaid $50 million of outstanding borrowings on the $1 billion revolving credit facility, resulting in the credit facility being fully undrawn and available as of September 30, 2024. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter was approximately $1.1 billion, which consisted of $116 million of working capital and $1 billion undrawn and available under the revolving credit facility.
Outlook for 2024
4

We are currently forecasting that 2024 metal sales will be within the ranges previously provided (shown in the table below), with the exception of silver. Silver sales are expected to be modestly below the low end of the guidance range primarily due to lower sales from Pueblo Viejo. Gold sales, which are the most important contributor to our results, are forecast to be at or below the midpoint of the guidance range.
We expect that DD&A expense and effective tax rate for 2024 will be within the previously-provided guidance ranges.

Schedule A – Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Other Measures
Overview of non-GAAP financial measures:
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures varies among companies, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We have provided below reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors for analysis of our business. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to compare period-over-period performance on a consistent basis and when planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in our industry. Many investors use the published research reports of these professional research analysts and others in making investment decisions. The adjustments made to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures are subjective and involve significant management judgement. Non-GAAP financial measures used by management in this release or elsewhere include the following:
1.Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net income adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliation below. The net income and adjusted EBITDA margins represent net income or adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be useful because the measure reflects our operating performance before the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operations.
2.Net debt (or net cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as debt (excluding debt issuance costs) as of a date minus cash and equivalents for that same date. Net debt (or net cash) to trailing twelve months (TTM) adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net debt (or net cash) as of a date divided by the TTM adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) ending on that date. We believe that these measures are important to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet. Cash and equivalents are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce our debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt (or net cash) is that it subtracts cash and equivalents and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. We believe that investors may find these measures useful to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.
3.Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated by the Company as net income and net income per share adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliations below. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful because they allow for period-to-period comparisons of our operating results excluding items that we believe are not indicative of our fundamental ongoing operations. The tax effect of adjustments is computed by applying the statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions to the income or expense items that are adjusted in the period presented. If a valuation allowance exists, the rate applied is zero.
4.Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities for a period minus acquisition of stream and royalty interests for that same period. We believe that free cash flow represents an additional way of viewing liquidity as it is adjusted for contractual investments made during such period. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our consolidated statements of cash flows.
5.Cash general and administrative expense, or cash G&A, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as general and administrative expenses for a period minus non-cash employee stock compensation expense for the same period. We believe that cash G&A is useful as an indicator of overhead efficiency without regard to non-cash expenses associated with employee stock compensation.

Other measures
We use certain other measures in managing and evaluating our business. We believe these measures may provide useful information to investors for analysis of our business. We use these measures to compare period-over-period performance and liquidity on a consistent basis and when planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe these measures are used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in our industry. Many investors use the published
16

research reports of these professional research analysts and others in making investment decisions. Other measures used by management in this release and elsewhere include the following:
1.Gold equivalent ounces, or GEOs, is calculated by the Company as revenue (in total or by reportable segment) for a period divided by the average LBMA PM fixing price for gold for that same period.
2.Depreciation, depletion, and amortization, or DD&A, per GEO is calculated by the Company as depreciation, depletion, and amortization for a period divided by GEOs (as defined above) for that same period.
3.Working capital is calculated by the Company as current assets as of a date minus current liabilities as of that same date. Liquidity is calculated by the Company as working capital plus available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
4.Dividend payout ratio is calculated by the Company as dividends paid during a period divided by net cash provided by operating activities for that same period.
5.Operating margin is calculated by the Company as operating income for a period divided by revenue for that same period.
