Altius Reports 2025 Attributable Royalty Revenue of $69.9M and Adjusted Earnings(1) of $22.5M

Altius transforms into a lithium and gold powerhouse following $520M LRC acquisition and $375M royalty windfall

Executive Summary

The most recent news (March 10, 2026) reports full-year 2025 results, headlined by a massive jump in net earnings to $299.4 million (from $101.8 million in 2024). This was primarily driven by the strategic sale of a 1% NSR on the Arthur Gold project to Franco-Nevada for $375 million and the completion of the acquisition of Lithium Royalty Corp (LRC). Attributable royalty revenue rose to $69.9 million. The company ended the year with $294 million in cash, a staggering increase from $16 million at the end of 2024.

Material Impact

The impact is Material - Positive. Altius has successfully executed a "capital recycling" masterclass. By selling a portion of its Nevada gold royalty (retaining 0.5%), it funded the $520 million acquisition of LRC, effectively diversifying into the lithium sector without diluting shareholders significantly. - Liquidity Surge: The company’s cash position and total liquidity (approx. $540 million) provide a massive "war chest" for future M&A or aggressive share buybacks. - Strategic Pivot: The LRC acquisition adds 37 royalties, including 4 producing assets, positioning Altius as a major player in the energy transition. - Earnings Quality: While net earnings were inflated by one-time gains ($374.5M), Adjusted EBITDA grew to $45.8 million, showing the underlying royalty portfolio remains robust despite fluctuating commodity prices.
