Risk or Challenges
Debt levels and repayment: The company has a significant amount of debt, with $20.5 million remaining on its revolving credit facility. While debt repayment is a priority, the company’s ability to achieve a debt-free position by 2026 depends on continued positive cash flow and revenue growth, which could be impacted by market conditions or operational challenges.
Competitive pressures in M&A: The market for royalty and streaming transactions is highly competitive, with at least 30 public and 20 private entities vying for opportunities. This competitive landscape could limit Gold Royalty’s ability to secure attractive acquisitions or growth opportunities.
Production guidance and operational disruptions: The company has revised its 2025 production guidance to potentially fall below the lower end of its previously disclosed range due to higher gold prices affecting GEO calculations and a temporary production disruption at the Vareš mine caused by underground development activities.
Dependence on gold price fluctuations: Higher gold prices have reduced the gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) derived from land agreement proceeds, impacting the company’s production metrics. Future revenue and production metrics remain sensitive to gold price volatility.
Operational risks at key assets: The Vareš mine is undergoing a temporary shift from mining to development, which will disrupt production for approximately six months. This could impact short-term revenue and cash flow.
Regulatory and permitting risks: Future growth at assets like Borborema depends on government approvals, such as the relocation of a highway near the mine. Delays or denials in such approvals could hinder expansion and revenue growth.
Shareholder dynamics and governance: The recent acquisition of a 10% share position by Tether has led to the adoption of a rights plan to protect shareholder value. This situation introduces potential governance and shareholder dynamics risks.

Guidance & Outlook
Debt Reduction: The company aims to be essentially debt-free by the end of 2026, supported by continued growth in free cash flow and the exercise of outstanding warrants.
Revenue and Cash Flow Growth: The company expects revenues and free cash flow to continue growing, driven by low operating costs and decreasing fixed charges, enabling rapid debt reduction and balance sheet improvement.
Production Guidance for 2025: Production is expected to be around or modestly below the bottom end of the previously disclosed guidance range of 5,700 to 7,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) due to higher gold prices and temporary mining disruptions at the Vareš mine.
Medium and Long-Term Production Outlook: The company maintains its 5-year guidance of 23,000 to 28,000 GEOs by 2029, supported by mature and brownfield operations owned by experienced operators.
Asset Development and Upside Potential: The Borborema mine is expected to ramp up production, contributing to revenue growth. The Canadian Malartic shaft expansion and potential second shaft development represent future upside for the company's flagship royalty asset.
Acquisition Strategy: The company is prioritizing acquisitions of cash-flowing royalties and remains disciplined in evaluating growth opportunities, focusing on leveraging its management expertise in bilateral transactions.
