Stream/Royalty Investment Process

Royal Gold’s role in the mining value chain can be tailored to fit the needs of the operating partner

EXPLORATION

  • Investment is typically

in the form of a royalty, and may include a right to finance future project development

  • Investment proceeds

are generally directed towards exploration

  • r early project

development activities

DEVELOPMENT

  • Investment typically

in the form of a stream, or a royalty with a right to finance further project development

  • Investment proceeds

are generally directed towards project development activities

PRODUCTION

  • Investment typically

in the form of a stream

  • Investment proceeds

are generally directed towards production expansion, development of new projects, or other corporate requirements

STREAM

  • A right to purchase metal production

at a predetermined price

ROYALTY

  • A right to a percentage of revenue or

metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any 23

Stream/Royalty Detail

ROYALTIES

  • Typically structured as gross smelter return (GSR), net smelter return (NSR), net value return (NVR) or net profits interest

(NPI). The difference is the amount of deductions permitted prior to calculation of the royalty, ranging from zero deductions (GSR) to all costs (NPI).

  • In many jurisdictions, an interest in real property that “runs with the land” in the event of an ownership transfer of

concessions, even if the transfer occurs through bankruptcy. Often, it is registered in government records on the title to the ground.

  • The sale of a royalty is often treated as a disposition of mineral interests and subject to upfront taxation, making it a poor

financing tool

  • Royal Gold, as a U.S. taxpayer, is subject to US tax on royalty revenue, which is deemed to be passive income, whether it is

earned outside the U.S. and without regard to the repatriation of that revenue

STREAMS

  • Typically structured as the receipt by the streaming company of a percentage of metal produced in return for an upfront cash

investment and an ongoing cash price per ounce delivered

  • Structured as a contractual arrangement that is subject to termination in a bankruptcy. An analysis of the credit profile of a

counterparty is more important for streams than for royalties.

  • The sale of a stream is not taxable upfront in most jurisdictions, so it is easier to use a streams as a source of finance
  • Royal Gold’s streaming business is conducted through its Swiss subsidiary and income is subject to a minimum U.S. tax rate

that is below the standard corporate rate of 21%, making streaming a more competitive economic product for operators and streaming companies

From a cash flow perspective, streams and royalties are comparable in that the revenue from a stream less the ongoing cash price paid roughly equals a royalty-like interest in production

  • Short Term Incentives focused on

financial, operational and strategic elements

  • Long Term Incentives involve net GEO

growth and total shareholder return over multiple periods

  • All incentives that could be impacted by

metal prices alone are addressed by holding prices steady throughout an award timeframe

  • Guaranteed salaries or other compensation,

special benefits, defined benefit pension plans, repricing of stock options without shareholder approval are NOT part of the compensation program

Non-GAAP Measures

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 report 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. 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. 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. 3. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as debt (excluding debt issuance costs) at the end of a period minus cash and equivalents for that same

  • date. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by the Company as net debt for a period divided by adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for

that same period. 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 it could be used to reduce our debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt 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. 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.

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 research reports of these professional research analysts and others in making investment decisions. Other measures used by management in this report 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 gold price 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. 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.
