OR Royalties Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Results

 

 

 

 

 

Revenues Up 26% and Operating Cash Flow Per Share Up 21%, Year-Over-Year

 

On Track to Achieve 2026 GEO Guidance; Windfall Project Receives Québec Environmental Approval

 

OR Royalties Inc. (TSX:OR) (NYSE:OR) announced strong consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2026. Revenues of $90.2 million and cash flows from operating activities of $77.6 million increased 26% and 20%, respectively, over the third quarter of 2025 on a comparable 20,237 gold equivalent ounces2 earned, as the Company’s 96.8% cash margin3 converted higher precious metals prices almost entirely into cash. With 63,734 GEOs earned over the first nine months of 2026, OR Royalties remains on track for approximately the mid-point of its 2026 guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 GEOs. Amounts are presented in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

Portfolio Updates

 

Selected disclosures from operating partners’ third quarter of 2026 reporting, or other recent releases:

  • Canadian Malartic Complex (Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”), October 28). Production of 111,202 ounces in Q3 2026. Remediation of the Barnat pit north wall was completed during the quarter and mining in unaffected areas of the pit resumed on September 27, 2026. Odyssey mined a record 391,000 tonnes in the quarter, East Gouldie produced 27,250 ounces of gold, and the first phase of shaft sinking was completed on July 9, 2026 at a depth of 1,586 metres, with shaft-hoisted production from East Gouldie planned for the second quarter of 2027. Agnico Eagle expects to submit a decree modification application for a second shaft in the first quarter of 2027 and will host a Capital Markets Day on November 18, 2026;
  • Island Gold District (Alamos Gold Inc., October 28). Record quarterly production of 68,700 ounces of gold; underground mining rates averaged a record 1,790 tonnes per day, 35% higher than the prior-year period, and remain on track to reach 2,000 tonnes per day by the end of 2026. Shaft commissioning is now expected mid-2027;
  • Lamaque (Eldorado Gold Corporation, October 28). Production of 52,748 ounces of gold, up 13% year-over-year, with Ormaque described as an increasingly important source of high-grade ore;
  • Dalgaranga (Ramelius Resources Limited, October 26). Ramp-up continued with 214,000 tonnes processed at 3.47 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 89% recovery, compared to 84% assumed in Ramelius’ four-year outlook; the Never Never underground mine is on track to mine 500,000 tonnes at 6.2 g/t gold in fiscal 2027;
  • Mantos Blancos (Capstone Copper Corp., October 29). Capstone expects Mantos Blancos to trend towards the mid-point of its 2026 production guidance with higher copper grades in the fourth quarter; the Phase II expansion has been submitted to the Environmental Impact Assessment process;
  • Hermosa (South32 Ltd., October 19). Both shafts are expected to reach the primary production level in the December 2026 quarter. In addition, on September 2, Hermosa achieved a significant permitting milestone with the completion of the U.S. federal permitting process under FAST-41, the first mining project ever completed under this expedited process;
  • Costa Fuego and La Verde (Hot Chili Limited, October 30). A second porphyry discovery was confirmed at La Verde South, within the area added to the Company’s royalty coverage during the quarter; the maiden La Verde Mineral Resource Estimate and the revised Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study remain on track for delivery in 2027, along with Environmental Permit submission for the updated Costa Fuego project;
  • Upper Beaver (Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, October 28). Shaft sinking passed the halfway mark at 732 metres and the Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be submitted in the fourth quarter of 2026;
  • Cariboo (Osisko Gold Group Inc., October 27). Construction approximately 28% complete and on schedule for first gold in the first quarter of 2029; and,
  • Cuiú Cuiú (Cabral Gold Inc., September 10). Cabral expects to declare commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2026; first royalty payments to the Company are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027.

 

Jason Attew, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This is what the model looks like when it works. On essentially the same GEOs earned as in the third quarter last year, this year we generated 26% more revenue and 20% more operating cash flow, with a 96.8% cash margin converting higher gold prices almost entirely into cash. We also remain on track for approximately the mid-point of our 2026 guidance, even after absorbing the Barnat pit disruption at Canadian Malartic. More importantly, 2026 is the year our development pipeline turned into production: Dalgaranga, Cuiú Cuiú and Amulsar have all poured first gold in 2026, taking the portfolio to 25 producing assets. And with Windfall now holding its principal environmental approval and Cariboo already in construction, the two largest Canadian projects in our 2030 outlook have moved from permitting to execution. We could not be better placed to deliver on our peer-leading, fully-funded growth through the end of the decade.”

 

2026 Guidance

 

The Company reaffirms its 2026 guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 GEOs earned. With 63,734 GEOs earned through September 30, 2026, deliveries are tracking to approximately the mid-point of the range, after accounting for the reduced open-pit production at Canadian Malartic (Barnat pit) in the second half of 2026 disclosed by Agnico Eagle. The Company’s growth outlook through 2030 remains fully funded, with no contingent capital required.
