GOLD ROYALTY REPORTS RECORD SIX-MONTH RESULTS WITH CONTINUED STRONG CASH FLOW AND EARNINGS GROWTH

 

 

 

 

 

Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE American: GROY) is pleased to announce the filing of its operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty, commented: “Gold Royalty’s growth is in high gear with half-year revenues more than doubling year-over-year and over 40% growth in gold equivalent ounces* in the first half of 2026, both to new record levels. With our portfolio heavily concentrated in gold and copper and projected peer-leading growth in gold equivalent ounces over the next five years, Gold Royalty provides its shareholders strong leverage to gold and copper prices from mines in Tier One jurisdictions with top operators. In addition, our royalty-focused asset base has virtually no exposure to mine site cost inflation.

 

Our strong performance in the first half of the year has laid the foundation for what is expected to be a catalyst-rich second half. We look forward to continued volume and cash flow growth and progress at key projects including first production from Ren, construction start at South Railroad, commercial and full production achieved at Vareš, and reports or studies outlining expansion potential at Borborema, Côté, Granite Creek, Jerritt Canyon, and a proposed second shaft at Odyssey.”

 

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Revenue of $6.7 million; Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest* increased by approximately 80% to $7.9 million and GEOs* increased by approximately 31% to 1,757 GEOs*, when compared to the second quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $5.6 million (net income of $1.8 million), approximately 137% higher than the same period in 2025
  • Ended the quarter with over $11.3 million of cash, no debt and a fully undrawn $150 million credit facility, inclusive of a $25 million accordion feature
  • Acquired an additional 0.875% net smelter return royalty interest over the Ren project for $6.25 million and, subsequent to quarter-end, acquired NSR royalties on the Sterling project and a portion of the Granite Creek mine for $0.8 million. All three assets are located in Nevada, USA.
  • The Company remains on track to achieve its previously announced annual guidance of 7,500 – 9,300 GEOs in 2026.

Royalty Generator Model Update

 

Our royalty generator model continues to generate positive results. We have generated 56 royalties since the acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. in 2021 through this model. We currently have 38 properties subject to land agreements and six properties under lease generating land agreement proceeds. The model continued to incur low operating costs to maintain our mineral interests in the second quarter of 2026.

 

2026 Outlook

 

The Company maintains its previously announced forecast of between 7,500 and 9,300 GEOs in 2026, which includes approximately 684 GEOs relating to Land Agreement Proceeds credited against other mineral interest and interest payments, and is based on an assumed gold price of $5,150 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of $5.75 per pound.

 

Commodity prices will affect calculation of GEOs from copper (and other metals) stream and royalties and from Land Agreement Proceeds and other payments. Please see our news release dated March 18, 2026 for a sensitivity table to illustrate the potential variability of our 2026 guidance to gold and copper metal prices.
