MONTRÉAL, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OR Royalties Inc. (“OR Royalties” or the “Company”) (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to announce its consolidated financial results for the year-end 2025.

OR Royalties has closed the transaction with Savannah Mining Limited (“Savannah”), acquiring Savannah’s remaining 50% interest in the 2.0% NSR royalty for total cash consideration of up to $103.5 million; Acquisition of a portfolio of precious metals assets from Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”) consisting of eight royalties for a total consideration of $115.0 million, and anchored by a 1.5% NSR royalty on Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s (“Buenaventura”) producing San Gabriel gold and silver mine (“San Gabriel”) located in Peru; and Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.055 per common share payable on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2026. Guidance for 2026 and 5-Year Outlook 2026 Guidance OR Royalties expects GEOs earned to range between 80,000 to 90,000 in 2026 at an average cash margin of approximately 97%. For the 2026 guidance, deliveries of silver, copper, and cash royalties were converted to GEOs using commodity prices based on February 2026 consensus commodity prices and a gold/silver price ratio of 73:1. The 2026 guidance assumes ramp-ups at both the Dalgaranga and San Gabriel mines, as well as first payments received under those gross revenue and NSR royalties from Ramelius Resources Ltd. and Buenaventura, respectively. The guidance also assumes increased payments associated with GEOs earned from the Company’s 2.0% NSR royalty covering Cardinal Namdini Mining Ltd.’s Namdini mine. In addition, the guidance assumes relatively consistent year-over-year GEO deliveries from Capstone Copper Corp.’s Mantos Blancos mine. Finally, the guidance assumes conservative estimates of GEOs expected to be earned from Harmony Gold Mining Ltd.’s (“Harmony”) CSA mine, as Harmony’s ownership transition continues and the Harmony team continues to condition the asset for optimized performance over the long-term. OR Royalties’ 2026 guidance on royalty and stream interests is largely based on publicly available forecasts from its operating partners. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, OR Royalties obtains internal forecasts from the producers or uses management’s best estimate. 5-Year Outlook OR Royalties expects its portfolio to generate between 120,000 and 135,000 GEOs in 2030. The outlook assumes the commencement of production at Gold Fields’ Windfall, South32 Limited’s Hermosa/Taylor Osisko Development Corp.’s Cariboo, Solidus Resources LLC’s Spring Valley, United Gold’s Amulsar and Orla Mining Ltd.’s South Railroad projects, respectively. It also assumes increased production from certain other operators that are advancing expansions including Alamos Gold Inc.’s Island Gold District Expansion, amongst others. The 5-year outlook assumes there will be no GEO contribution from the Eagle Gold mine, which remains in receivership. Beyond this growth profile, OR Royalties owns several other growth assets, which have not been factored into the 5-year outlook, as their respective development timelines are either longer, or difficult to reasonably forecast at this time. As these operators provide additional clarity on these respective assets, OR Royalties will seek to include them in future long-term outlooks. The 5-year outlook is based on internal judgements of publicly available forecasts and other disclosures by the third-party owners and operators of the Company’s assets and could differ materially from actual results. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, OR Royalties obtains internal forecasts from the operators or uses management’s best estimate. The commodity price assumptions that were used in the 5-year outlook are based on current long-term consensus and a gold/silver price ratio of 82:1. This 5-year outlook replaces the 5-year outlook previously released in February 2025, the latter of which should be considered as withdrawn. Investors should not use the current 5-year outlook to extrapolate forecast results to any year within the 5-year period (2026-2030). Management Commentary Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “2025 was a landmark year for OR Royalties, delivering a 'triple crown' of records in revenues, cash flow, and earnings. We closed the year debt-free, providing the Company with the financial flexibility to add to our already peer-leading growth profile. Our 2026 guidance reflects the immediate benefit of production ramp-ups at Namdini, Dalgaranga, and San Gabriel, all of which serve to offset ongoing transitional impacts at CSA. Our long-term thesis remains best-in-class: with fully-financed mine expansions and new builds coming online starting in 2027, we are positioned to deliver 50% GEO growth by 2030.” Q4 AND YEAR-END 2025 RESULTS CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST DETAILS Conference Call: Thursday, February 19th, 2026 at 10:00am ET     Dial-in Numbers: (Option 1) North American Toll-Free: 1 (800) 717-1738 Local – Montreal: 1 (514) 400-3792 Local – Toronto: 1 (289) 514-5100 Local – New York: 1 (646) 307-1865 Conference ID: 83967 Webcast link: (Option 2) https://viavid.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1748335&tp_key=ffb84495c6     Replay (available until Thursday, March 19th, 2026 at 11:59pm ET): North American Toll-Free: 1 (888) 660-6264 Local – Toronto: 1 (289) 819-1325 Local – New York: 1 (646) 517-3975 Playback Passcode: 83967#   Replay also available on our website at www.ORroyalties.com Qualified Person The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Guy Desharnais, Ph.D., P.Geo., Vice President, Project Evaluation at OR Royalties Inc., who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). About OR Royalties Inc. OR Royalties is a precious metals royalty and streaming company focused on Tier-1 mining jurisdictions defined as Canada, the United States, and Australia. OR Royalties commenced activities in June 2014 with a single producing asset, and today holds a portfolio of over 195 royalties, streams and similar interests. OR Royalties’ portfolio is anchored by its cornerstone asset, the 3-5% net smelter return royalty on Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.’s Canadian Malartic Complex, one of the world’s largest gold mines.

Silver ounces and copper tonnes 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 per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Cash royalties, other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

(iv) Bank of Canada daily rate.     (2)   Non-IFRS Measures Cash Margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues) Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by OR Royalties as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained by dividing the cash margin (in dollars) by the revenues. Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties’ 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 such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate OR Royalties’ 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. A reconciliation of the cash margin (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below:     Three months ended December 31,     Years ended  December 31,        2025     2024     2025       2024       $     $     $       $                         Royalty interests                   Revenues 55,555     35,349     177,264       130,375     Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (134 )   (180 )   (701 )     (413 )   Cash margin (in dollars) 55,421     35,169     176,563       129,962                         Depletion (4,419 )   (2,160 )   (13,234 )     (12,208 )   Gross profit 51,002     33,009     163,329       117,754                         Stream interests                   Revenues 34,910     21,393     100,106       60,782     Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (2,435 )   (2,001 )   (8,414 )     (6,325 )   Cash margin (in dollars) 32,475     19,392     91,692       54,457                         Depletion (5,835 )   (7,315 )   (22,536 )     (20,399 )   Gross profit 26,640     12,077     69,156       34,058                         Royalty and stream interests Total cash margin (in dollars) 87,896     54,561     268,255       184,419     Divided by: total revenues 90,465     56,742     277,370       191,157     Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) 97.2%     96.2%     96.7%       96.5%                         Total – Gross profit 77,642     45,086     232,485       151,812   Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by OR Royalties by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversals related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairments of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of assets, gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of OR Royalties as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share, investors and analysts use adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of OR Royalties, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in OR Royalties’ annual guidance. While the adjustments to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are useful measures of OR Royalties’ performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of the core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are 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.
