OR Royalties Reports 62% Year-Over-Year Increase in Revenues and Cash Flows from Operations in Q2 2026 and Continued Share Repurchases Under the Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

 

 

 

 

OR Royalties Inc. (TSX:OR) (NYSE:OR) announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Quarterly revenues grew 62% year-over-year on a 5% increase in gold equivalent ounces earned, due in part to contributions from recently acquired assets. With 96.8% of revenues converting to cash margin, this growth in revenues and cash flows reflects the peer-leading leverage of the Company’s royalty and streaming model to higher precious metals prices. Amounts presented are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

Financial Highlights

  • Revenues from royalties and streams of $97.8 million ($60.4 million in Q2 20251);
  • Cash flows generated by operating activities of $83.2 million ($51.4 million in Q2 2025);
  • Cash margin2 of $94.7 million or 96.8% ($57.8 million or 95.8% in Q2 2025);
  • Net earnings of $61.4 million, $0.33 per basic share ($32.4 million, $0.17 per basic share in Q2 2025);
  • Adjusted earnings2 of $60.5 million, $0.32 per basic share ($34.1 million, $0.18 per basic share in Q2 2025);
  • 20,757 gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs3”) earned (19,700 GEOs in Q2 2025);
    • GEO deliveries were modestly lower than the first quarter, primarily reflecting an unscheduled six-day mill shutdown at Canadian Malartic as well as planned mine sequencing at Mantos Blancos, partially offset by initial GEO contributions from newer assets in the portfolio;
  • Cash balance of $75.6 million and debt outstanding of $215.0 million as at June 30, 2026, for a net debt position2 of $139.4 million;
  • Purchase for cancellation, under the normal course issuer bid, of a total of 225,712 common shares for $8.0 million (C$11.2 million); and,
  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.065 per common share paid on July 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2026, an increase of 18.2% compared to the previous quarterly dividend.

 

Portfolio Growth

 

During the quarter, OR Royalties closed $335.0 million of previously announced acquisitions: Terraco Gold Corp., holder of net smelter return royalties covering Solidus Resources LLC’s Spring Valley Gold Project in Nevada ($168.0 million); a portfolio of eight royalties acquired from Gold Fields Limited anchored by a 1.5% NSR on Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s producing San Gabriel gold-silver mine in Peru ($115.0 million); and finally, as part of the same transaction with Gold Fields, deferred payment obligations from Galiano Gold Inc. ($52.0 million for $60.0 million of scheduled payments). Royalty, stream and other interests grew to $1.48 billion as at June 30, 2026 from $1.14 billion at year-end 2025.

 

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed the $28.0 million Murray Brook precious metals stream (with a C$5.5 million equity subscription) with Canadian Copper Inc., and entered into a binding agreement with Hot Chili Limited (“Hot Chili”) pursuant to which Hot Chili agreed to extend the Company’s NSR royalties to cover the La Verde project at Costa Fuego in consideration for cash payment of $15.0 million.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2026

  • Closing of the previously announced $28.0 million precious metals stream with Canadian Copper Inc. (“Canadian Copper”) with respect to its New Brunswick assets, comprising the Murray Brook properties and the Caribou property, including the Caribou Processing Plant, concurrently with a $3.9 million (C$5.5 million) equity subscription in Canadian Copper;
  • Binding agreement with Hot Chili pursuant to which Hot Chili agreed to extend the Company’s royalties (1.0% of payable copper production and 3.0% of payable gold production) to the La Verde project, which is part of the broader Costa Fuego copper-gold project, in consideration for cash payment of $15.0 million payable on closing, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026;
  • Following Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s July 2, 2026 disclosure regarding the Barnat open pit at Canadian Malartic, the Company increased the pace of repurchases under its normal course issuer bid, acquiring 1,007,496 common shares for $29.1 million (C$40.8 million) in July — more than four times the number of shares repurchased during the entire second quarter — bringing total 2026 repurchases to 1,555,678 shares;
  • Increase in the amount available under the revolving credit facility from $650.0 million to $850.0 million and the additional uncommitted accordion from $200.0 million to $350.0 million, as well as extension of the maturity date from May 30, 2029 to August 4, 2030; and,
  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.065 per common share payable on October 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2026.

 

Management Commentary

 

Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “Revenues and operating cash flows each grew 62% year-over-year — the arithmetic of a 96.8% cash margin business in a stronger precious metals market — and we remain on track for our 2026 guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 GEOs. We also closed $335.0 million of acquisitions in the quarter, including NSR royalties on San Gabriel, already producing and paying, and Spring Valley, amongst others.

 

When our shares sold off following Agnico Eagle’s July 2 disclosure on the Barnat pit, we bought back over one million shares in early July, more than four times the number of shares repurchased in the entire second quarter, and at meaningfully lower prices. Along these lines, our conviction in Canadian Malartic remains unchanged. And this is what shareholders should expect from us: cash generation strong enough to fund a growing dividend, execute on buybacks when the market misprices our shares, and invest in a still-robust pipeline of new opportunities, all at once.”
