Eldorado Gold Delivers Strong 2025 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Results; Significant Free Cash Flow Excluding Skouries and Increased Cash Generated From Operating Activities
Eldorado Anchors Growth in Canada via Foran Acquisition as Skouries Home Stretch Slips to Late 2026

The most recent news (February 19, 2026) reports strong full-year 2025 results, with Eldorado achieving gold production of 488,268 ounces, hitting the higher end of its 470,000 to 490,000-ounce guidance. Financial highlights include $1.8 billion in annual revenue and significant free cash flow of $316 million (excluding Skouries investment). The company initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.075 in January 2026 and repurchased over 7.6 million shares during 2025 for $204 million.
Crucially, the Skouries project in Greece is now 90% complete. However, the timeline for first concentrate production has shifted to early Q3 2026 (compared to earlier 2024 estimates of Q3 2025). The company also announced a definitive agreement on February 2, 2026, to acquire Foran Mining Corporation in a deal valued at approximately $3.8 billion CAD, adding the McIlvenna Bay copper-zinc-gold project in Saskatchewan to its development pipeline.
Operational Performance
Eldorado demonstrated high-quality execution in 2025 despite localized challenges. Lamaque (Canada) remains the star performer, offsetting technical issues at Olympias (viscosity modifier impacts) and leach cycle variability at Kisladag (Turkey). The completion of the Certej divestment in late 2025 further cleans the balance sheet.
