Andrew W. Gubbels
Management
Thank you, David, and good morning, everyone. We are pleased to report new records for revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the quarter and for the full year 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $3,200,000 in the fourth quarter, up from $2,500,000 in the previous quarter and up from $1,900,000, or $1,200,000, in the comparable quarter in 2024. Total revenue, land agreement proceeds and interest was $5,200,000, translating to 1,255 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) in the quarter. For the year ended 2025, we generated $17,800,000 in total revenue, land agreement proceeds and interest, and $9,800,000 of adjusted EBITDA, a 38,104% increase from the comparable period in 2024, respectively. This record year reflects the contribution of higher cash flows from the assets we added to the portfolio over the past few years and a continued focus on maintaining consistent low operating costs. The consecutive quarters of positive free cash flow improves our liquidity position and, importantly, provides a solid foundation for funding the business moving forward. Further, our balance sheet liquidity position was boosted meaningfully from the equitization of the $40,000,000 convertible debentures held by Queens Road Capital and Taurus Funds in November and an upsized $103,500,000 equity raise completed in December. The equity raise funded our $70,000,000 Pedra Branca acquisition, repaid the outstanding balance previously drawn on the RCF, brought in new institutional investors onto our share register, and left us in a positive net cash position at year-end. As we look forward to 2026, we remain well funded, having amended and upsized our credit facility to $150,000,000 in February and having acquired additional cash-flowing royalty on Borborema, we enter the year in a very strong financial position. As Dave alluded, with a self-funding business that generates consistent positive free cash flow, and a clean balance sheet, we now have the flexibility to execute our strategy in the long term. Our current intent is to maintain a modest cash balance and to allocate additional cash generated from operations towards growth opportunities where appropriate, while evaluating capital returns to shareholders in future periods. I will now pass the call over to our Chief Development Officer, John Griffith.
