Insights

Osisko's Q4 2024 results demonstrate mixed performance with notable achievements in cash margins despite operational challenges. The company achieved 80,740 GEOs for 2024, hitting the mid-point of guidance but showing a 14% year-over-year decrease due to operational stoppages at Renard and Eagle mines. However, the record quarterly revenue of $79.3 million and impressive cash margin of 96.2% highlight strong financial efficiency.

The balance sheet position remains solid with $85.0 million in cash and $414.9 million available in credit facilities, providing ample liquidity for future opportunities. The planned transition to USD reporting currency signals strategic positioning for international markets and improved comparability with industry peers.

Most notably, the record annual cash margin of 96.5% on revenues of $262.2 million demonstrates exceptional operational efficiency and strong underlying asset quality, despite lower GEO deliveries. This efficiency metric surpasses industry averages and indicates robust cash flow generation capability.

The precious metals market context enhances the significance of these results, with average gold prices reaching $2,663 per ounce in Q4 2024, up substantially from $1,971 in Q4 2023. This price appreciation has effectively offset the impact of lower production volumes, supporting revenue performance despite operational challenges.

The strategic diversification across 185+ royalties and streams provides resilience against single-asset disruptions, though the Renard and Eagle incidents highlight concentration risk impacts. The cornerstone Canadian Malartic Complex royalty (3-5% NSR) continues to provide stable backing for the portfolio.

The North American focus positions Osisko favorably in a geopolitically stable jurisdiction, while maintaining exposure to precious metals as a hedge against economic uncertainty. The company's ability to maintain high margins despite production challenges indicates strong underlying business model resilience.

MONTRÉAL, Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the “Company” or “Osisko”) (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to provide an update on its fourth quarter 2024 preliminary deliveries, revenues and cash margin, as well as on its cash and debt positions as of December 31st, 2024. All monetary amounts included in this report are expressed in Canadian dollars1, unless otherwise noted.

PRELIMINARY Q4 2024 RESULTS

Osisko earned 20,005 attributable gold equivalent ounces2 (“GEOs”) in the fourth quarter of 2024, for a total of 80,740 GEOs in 2024, thereby achieving the mid-point of the Company’s revised GEO delivery guidance range of 77,000-83,000 GEOs. Osisko’s year-over-year GEOs earned decreased by 14% in 2024 due to the stoppage of operations at the Renard diamond mine in the fourth quarter of 2023, and with the stoppage of the Eagle mine as of June 24, 2024 following the slope failure at its heap leach pad facility.

Osisko recorded record preliminary revenues from royalties and streams of $79.3 million (US$56.7 million) during the fourth quarter and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) of $3.1 million (US$2.2 million), resulting in a record quarterly cash margin3 of approximately $76.3 million (US$54.6 million) (or 96.2%).

For the full year 2024, preliminary revenues from royalties and streams reached a record $262.2 million (US$191.2 million) and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) are estimated at $9.3 million (US$6.7 million), resulting in a record annual cash margin3 of $252.9 million (US$184.4 million) (or 96.5%).

As at December 31st, 2024, Osisko’s cash position was approximately $85.0 million (US$59.1 million), following the closing of both the Dalgaranga royalty acquisitions and the Gibraltar silver stream amendment, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Osisko’s revolving credit facility was drawn by $135.1 million (US$93.9 million) at the end of 2024, with an additional amount of $414.9 million (US$288.3 million) available to be drawn plus the uncommitted accordion of up to C$200 million.

The figures presented in this press release, including revenues and costs of sales, have not been audited and are subject to change. As the Company has not yet finished its year-end procedures, the anticipated financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to year-end adjustments, and may change materially.

(1)The Company intends to change its presentation currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar when it publishes its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Consequently, the figures presented in this press release include the U.S. dollar equivalent for ease of reference and comparison with the annual consolidated financial statements to be published after market close on February 19, 2025. The cash and debt balances as at December 31, 2024 have been converted at the December 31, 2024 closing exchange rate, and revenues and costs of sales have been converted using quarterly average exchange rates.

(2)Gold Equivalent Ounces

GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver and copper earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price or copper price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period.

(3)Non-IFRS Measures
 
Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by Osisko as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained from the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues.

Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate Osisko’s ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards to evaluate Osisko’s performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
