1. OPERATIONS, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Royal Gold, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Royal Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is engaged in the business of acquiring and managing precious metals streams, royalties and similar interests. We seek to acquire existing stream and royalty interests or to finance projects that are in the production, development or exploration stage in exchange for stream or royalty interests. A metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right and obligation to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. Royalties are non-operating interests in a mining project that provide the right to revenue or metals produced from the project after deducting contractually specified costs, if any.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial statements have been included in this Form 10-Q. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2025. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 13, 2025 (“2024 10-K”).
Recent Accounting Standards
We have evaluated all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements and do not believe the future adoption of any such standards will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
2. STREAM AND ROYALTY ACQUISITIONS
Warintza Project Stream and Royalty
On May 21, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG ("RG AG"), entered into a gold purchase agreement ("Gold Stream Agreement"), and a separate net smelter return ("NSR") royalty agreement ("Royalty Agreement") for all metals with wholly owned subsidiaries of Solaris Resources, Inc. (collectively, "Solaris") for metals produced from the Warintza Project ("Warintza"). The advance payment for the acquisition totals $200 million in cash consideration, including $100 million paid upon closing, $50 million payable after technical approval of the environmental impact assessment and publication of a pre-feasibility study, which are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025, and $50 million payable one year after closing, subject to security perfection in Ecuador. The $100 million cash consideration paid at closing was funded with available cash on hand.
Gold Stream Agreement
Deliveries under the Gold Stream Agreement will be in an amount equal to 20 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper in return for a cash payment for each ounce delivered of 20% of the spot gold price until the delivery of 90,000 ounces, and 60% of the spot gold price thereafter. The Gold Stream Agreement may be subject to early termination with the full return of the advance payment at the option of RG AG or Solaris if a change of control of Solaris or Warintza occurs, or by RG AG if deliveries have not begun by May 21, 2033. The area of interest for the Gold Stream Agreement
ROYAL GOLD, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
covers approximately 31 square kilometers, and will expand to 186 square kilometers if the early termination provisions have not been exercised and the first delivery has not been received by May 21, 2033.
Royalty Agreement
RG AG received a 0.30% NSR royalty for all metals produced from an area of interest of approximately 186 square kilometers. The NSR rate will increase by 0.0375% per year until the earlier to occur of the first delivery under the Gold Stream Agreement or May 21, 2033, to a maximum of 0.60% NSR. If the Gold Stream Agreement is subject to early termination, the NSR rate will be the rate in place at the time of exercise if the early termination is exercised by RG AG, or 0.60% if the early termination is exercised by Solaris.
The Royalty Agreement and the Stream Agreement have been accounted for as asset acquisitions and are recorded as exploration stage royalty and stream interests (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets.
Lawyers-Ranch Project Royalty
On May 16, 2025, we acquired a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Ranch portion of the Lawyers-Ranch Project operated by Thesis Gold Inc. from a private seller for cash consideration of $12.5 million. The royalty has been accounted for as an asset acquisition and recorded as an exploration stage royalty interest (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.
Additional Xavantina Stream
On March 28, 2025, RG AG entered into an additional precious metals purchase agreement (“Additional Stream”) with Ero Gold Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ero Copper Corporation, and certain of its affiliates for gold produced from the Xavantina mine for an advance payment of $50 million. The Additional Stream is incremental to the existing precious metals purchase agreement between the parties dated June 29, 2021 (“Base Stream”), and significantly extends the area of interest.
As of June 30, 2025, 48,400 ounces of gold have been delivered under the Base Stream at a cash purchase price of 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered, which will increase to 40% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered upon the delivery of 49,000 ounces. When considered with the Base Stream, the Additional Stream effectively increases the threshold for stream deliveries at the current 25% stream rate from 93,000 ounces to 160,000 ounces, with the additional deliveries to be payable at a cash price of 40% of the spot gold price.
The Additional Stream has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The $50 million advance payment, plus direct acquisition costs, have been recorded as an exploration stage stream interest (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.

fiscal quarters following the consummation of a material permitted acquisition (as defined) and 3.50:1.00 at all other times.
As of June 30, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $1 billion available.
In July 2025, we notified the members of the credit syndication group of our exercise of the accordion feature and received commitments from the group for the full $400 million of increased capacity. On August 5, 2025, we closed on the accordion feature with our credit syndication group, bringing our total committed revolving credit facility to $1.4 billion.
As part of the Kansanshi gold stream acquisition discussed in Note 12, we borrowed $825 million under our revolving credit facility. Following the draw as part of the Kansanshi gold stream acquisition, $575 million remains available.
5. MOUNT MILLIGAN DEFERRED LIABILITY
On February 13, 2024, we entered into a Processing Cost Support Agreement (the "Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement") with Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") with respect to the Mount Milligan mine for cash consideration of $24.5 million, 50,000 ounces of gold to be delivered in the future ("Deferred Gold Consideration") and a free cash flow interest.
The value of the cash consideration and free cash flow interest received from Centerra is recorded as a deferred liability in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025.
For further detail on the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement and the Deferred Gold Consideration refer to our 2024 10-K.
6. REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer control of a distinct good or service (or integrated package of goods and/or services) to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance with this guidance, revenue attributable to our stream interests and royalty interests is generally recognized at the point in time that control of the related metal production transfers to our customers. The amount of revenue we recognize further reflects the consideration to which we are entitled under the respective stream or royalty agreement. A more detailed summary of our revenue recognition policies for our stream and royalty interests is discussed below.
Stream Interests
A metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right and obligation to purchase all or a portion of one or more of the metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. Gold, silver and copper received under our metal streaming agreements are taken into inventory, and then sold primarily at cash average or spot market prices. The sales price for the averaging contracts is determined by the average daily gold, silver or copper spot prices during the term of the contract, typically a consecutive period between ten days and three months (depending on the frequency of deliveries under the respective streaming agreement and our sales policy in effect at the time), commencing shortly after receipt and purchase of the metal. We settle both averaging and spot sales contracts via physical delivery of the metal to the purchaser (our customer) on the settlement date specified in the contract. Under our sales contracts, there is a single performance obligation to sell a contractually specified volume of metal to the purchaser, and we satisfy this obligation at the point in time of physical delivery. Accordingly, revenue from our metal sales is recognized on the date of settlement, which is the date that control, custody and title to the metal transfer to the purchaser.
Royalty Interests
Royalties are non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to a percentage of revenue or metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any. We are entitled to payment for our royalty interest in a mining project based on a contractually specified commodity price (for example, a monthly or quarterly average spot price)
ROYAL GOLD, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
for the period in which metal production occurs. As a royalty holder, we act as a passive entity in the production and operations of the mining project, and the third-party operator of the mining project is responsible for all mining activities, including subsequent marketing and delivery of all metal production to its ultimate customer. In all of our material royalty interest arrangements, we have concluded that we transfer control of our interest in the metal production to the operator at the point at which production occurs, and thus, the operator is our customer. We have further determined that the transfer of each unit of metal production comprising our royalty interest to the operator represents a separate performance obligation under the contract, and each performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time of metal production by the operator. Accordingly, we recognize revenue attributable to our royalty interests in the period in which metal production occurs at the specified commodity price per the agreement, net of any contractually allowable costs.
Royalty Revenue Estimates
For a small number of our royalty interests, we may not receive, or be entitled to receive, payment information, including production information from the operator, for the period in which metal production occurred prior to issuance of our financial statements for that period. As a result, we may estimate revenue for these royalties based on available information, including public information, from the operator. If adequate information is not available from the operator or from other public sources before we issue our financial statements, we will recognize royalty revenue during the period in which the necessary payment information is received. Differences between estimates and actual amounts could differ and are recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known. Please also refer to our “Use of Estimates” accounting policy discussed in our 2024 10-K. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, royalty revenue that was estimated or was attributable to metal production for a period prior to the three months ended June 30, 2025, was not material.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We have identified two material revenue sources in our business: stream interests and royalty interests. These identified revenue sources are consistent with our reportable segments as discussed in Note 10.
Revenue by metal type attributable to each of our revenue sources is disaggregated as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of June 30, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense (expressed in thousands below) and weighted-average vesting period for each of our stock-based compensation awards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Unrecognized compensation expense | | Weighted- average vesting period (years) |
Restricted stock | $ | 9,667 | | | 2.1 |
Performance stock | 8,571 | | | 2.1 |
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic EPS was computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, considering the effect of participating securities. Unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Our unvested restricted stock awards contain non-forfeitable dividend rights and participate equally with common stock with respect to dividends issued or declared. Our unexercised stock option awards, unexercised stock-settled stock appreciation rights and unvested performance stock do not contain rights to dividends. Under the two-class method, the earnings used to determine basic EPS are reduced by an amount allocated to participating securities. Use of the two-class method has an immaterial impact on the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.
The following table summarizes the effects of dilutive securities on diluted EPS for the periods shown below (amounts in thousands, except share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Kansanshi Gold Stream Acquisition
As announced on August 5, 2025, RG AG entered into a precious metals purchase agreement for gold deliveries referenced to copper production from the Kansanshi copper-gold mine in the North Western Province of Zambia, operated and 80% owned by a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”).
RG AG made an advance payment of $1.0 billion (“Advance”) in return for a gold stream referenced to copper production, with deliveries of 75 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced until the delivery of 425,000 ounces; 55 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced between the delivery of 425,001 ounces and 650,000 ounces; and 45 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced thereafter. Additionally, and depending on the achievement of certain objectives as described below, RG AG has granted options to First Quantum to accelerate stream deliveries and reduce the outstanding Advance:
i.Acceleration Option 1: From the earlier of the achievements by First Quantum of a minimum ‘BB’ or equivalent senior unsecured debt rating from a rating agency, or a Net Debt/TTM EBITDA ratio of 2.25x or less over three consecutive quarters starting from March 31, 2026, it will have a one-year period to exercise the option and deliver gold worth up to $200 million over a 14-month period from the date of option exercise and reduce the stream rates and delivery thresholds by up to 20%.
ii.Acceleration Option 2: If First Quantum achieves either a minimum ‘BBB-’ or equivalent senior unsecured debt rating from a rating agency, or show a Net Debt/TTM EBITDA ratio of 1.25x or less, over four consecutive quarters. and achieves certain operational conditions, it will have a one-year period to exercise the option and deliver gold worth up to $100 million over a 7-month period from the date of option exercise and reduce the stream rates and delivery thresholds by up to a further 10%.
RG AG will pay 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered. Should one of the conditions in Acceleration Option 1 be met, RG AG will pay 35% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered.
The acquisition has been funded with available cash and a draw of $825 million on our revolving credit facility (see Note 4).

share (the “Horizon Transaction” and together with the Sandstorm Transaction, the “Transactions”), which reflected a transaction equity value of approximately $196 million at the time of signing.
Completion of the Transactions is subject to approval by Royal Gold's stockholders and Sandstorm's shareholders (in the case of the Sandstorm Transaction), approval by Horizon's securityholders (in the case of the Horizon Transaction), certain regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. The Transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General Presentation
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide information to assist you in better understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Royal Gold. You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 13, 2025 (“2024 10-K”).
This MD&A contains forward-looking information. You should review our important note about forward-looking statements following this MD&A.
We do not own, develop, or mine the properties on which we hold stream or royalty interests. Certain information provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about operating properties in which we hold interests, including information about mineral resources and reserves, historical production, production estimates, property descriptions, and property developments, was provided to us by the operators of those properties or is publicly available information filed by these operators with applicable securities regulatory bodies, in certain cases including the SEC. We have not verified, and are not in a position to verify, and expressly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of, this third-party information and refer the reader to the public reports filed by the operators for information regarding those properties.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Royal Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Royal Gold, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview of Our Business
We acquire and manage precious metal streams, royalties, and similar interests. We seek to acquire existing stream and royalty interests or finance projects that are in the production, development or exploration stage in exchange for stream or royalty interests.
We manage our business under two segments:
•Acquisition and Management of Stream Interests — A metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right and obligation to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. As of June 30, 2025, we owned 9 stream interests, which are on 7 producing properties and 2 development stage properties. Stream interests accounted for approximately 64% and 63% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 71% and 70% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We expect stream interests to continue representing a significant portion of our total revenue.
•Acquisition and Management of Royalty Interests — Royalties are non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to revenue or metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any. As of June 30, 2025, we owned royalty interests on 33 producing properties, 17 development stage properties and 112 exploration stage properties, of which we consider 51 to be evaluation stage projects. We use “evaluation stage” to describe exploration stage properties that contain mineral resources and on which operators are engaged in the search for mineral reserves. Royalty interests accounted for 36% and 37% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively and 29% and 30% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
We do not conduct mining operations on the properties in which we hold stream and royalty interests, and we generally are not required to contribute to capital costs, exploration costs, environmental costs or other operating costs on those properties.
We are continually reviewing opportunities to grow our portfolio, whether through the creation or acquisition of new or existing stream or royalty interests or other acquisition activity. We generally have acquisition opportunities in various stages of review. Our review process may include, for example, engaging consultants and advisors to analyze an opportunity; analysis of technical, financial, legal, environmental, social, governance and other confidential information
regarding an opportunity; submission of indications of interest and term sheets; participation in preliminary discussions and negotiations; and involvement as a bidder in competitive processes.
Business Trends and Uncertainties
Metal Prices
Our financial results are primarily tied to the price of gold, silver, copper, and other metals. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years and we expect this volatility to continue. The marketability and price of metals are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, and significant changes in metal prices can have a material effect on our revenue.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, average metal prices and percentages of revenue by metal were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Recent Developments
Kansanshi Gold Stream Acquisition
As announced on August 5, 2025, our wholly-owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG (“RG AG”), entered into a precious metals purchase agreement for gold deliveries referenced to copper production from the Kansanshi copper-gold mine (“Kansanshi”) in the North Western Province of Zambia, operated and 80% owned by a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”).
RG AG made an advance payment of $1.0 billion (“Advance”) in return for a gold stream referenced to copper production, with deliveries of 75 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced until the delivery of 425,000 ounces; 55 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced between the delivery of 425,001 ounces and 650,000 ounces; and 45 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced thereafter. Additionally, and depending on the achievement of certain objectives as described below, RG AG has granted options to First Quantum to accelerate stream deliveries and reduce the outstanding Advance:
i.Acceleration Option 1: From the earlier of the achievements by First Quantum of a minimum ‘BB’ or equivalent senior unsecured debt rating from a rating agency, or a Net Debt/TTM EBITDA ratio of 2.25x or less over three consecutive quarters starting from March 31, 2026, it will have a one-year period to exercise the option and deliver gold worth up to $200 million over a 14-month period from the date of option exercise and reduce the stream rates and delivery thresholds by up to 20%.
ii.Acceleration Option 2: If First Quantum achieves either a minimum ‘BBB-’ or equivalent senior unsecured debt rating from a rating agency, or show a Net Debt/TTM EBITDA ratio of 1.25x or less, over four consecutive quarters. and achieves certain operational conditions, it will have a one-year period to exercise the option and deliver gold worth up to $100 million over a 7-month period from the date of option exercise and reduce the stream rates and delivery thresholds by up to a further 10%.
RG AG will pay 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered. Should one of the conditions in Acceleration Option 1 be met, RG AG will pay 35% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered.
The acquisition has been funded with available cash and a draw of $825 million on our revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 4 of our notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our revolving credit facility.
RG AG’s interests under the stream agreement are guaranteed by all entities within the Kansanshi ownership chain, from the project company (Kansanshi Mining PLC) through to the parent, First Quantum Minerals Ltd. RG AG also has customary additional protections for a stream agreement including limitations on certain additional encumbrances, restrictions on transfer of mine ownership, sharing for insurance and expropriation proceeds, and typical remedies for events of default.
The Kansanshi mine is owned and operated by Kansanshi Mining PLC, which is 80% owned indirectly by First Quantum and 20% by ZCCM Investments Holdings PLC, a company majority-owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia. First Quantum acquired its interest in the project in 2001, began construction soon after, and achieved commercial production in 2005. First Quantum expects a mine life of more than 20 years, and the All-In Sustaining Cost is expected to be in the lower half of the global copper cost curve during the next 10 years of mine life.
Agreements to Acquire Sandstorm Gold and Horizon Copper
On July 6, 2025, we entered into arrangement agreements to acquire each of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) and Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon”). Under the terms of the agreement with Sandstorm, Royal Gold has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Sandstorm in exchange for Royal Gold shares at an exchange ratio of 0.0625 of a share of Royal Gold common stock for each common share of Sandstorm (the “Sandstorm Transaction”), which reflected a transaction equity value of approximately $3.5 billion at the time of signing. Under the terms of the agreement with Horizon, Royal Gold has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Horizon in exchange for cash of C$2.00 per share (the “Horizon Transaction” and together with the Sandstorm Transaction, the “Transactions”), which reflected a transaction equity value of approximately $196 million at the time of signing.
Completion of the Transactions is subject to approval by Royal Gold's stockholders and Sandstorm's shareholders (in the case of the Sandstorm Transaction), approval by Horizon's securityholders (in the case of the Horizon Transaction), certain regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. The Transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Warintza Project Stream and Royalty
On May 21, 2025, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RG AG, entered into a gold purchase agreement ("Gold Stream Agreement"), and a separate net smelter return ("NSR") royalty agreement ("Royalty Agreement") for all metals, with wholly owned subsidiaries of Solaris Resources, Inc. (collectively "Solaris") for metals produced from the Warintza Project ("Warintza"). The advance payment for the acquisition totals $200 million in cash consideration, including $100 million paid upon closing, $50 million payable after technical approval of the environmental impact assessment and publication of a pre-feasibility study ("PFS"), and $50 million payable one year after closing, subject to security perfection in Ecuador. The $100 million cash consideration paid at closing was funded with available cash on hand.
Gold Stream Agreement
Deliveries under the Gold Stream Agreement will be in an amount equal to 20 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper in return for a cash payment for each ounce delivered of 20% of the spot gold price until the delivery of 90,000 ounces, and 60% of the spot gold price thereafter. The Gold Stream Agreement may be subject to early termination at the option of RG AG or Solaris if a change of control of Solaris or Warintza occurs, or by RG AG if deliveries have not begun by May 21, 2033. The area of interest for the Gold Stream Agreement covers approximately 31 square kilometers, and will expand to 186 square kilometers if the early termination provisions have not been exercised and the first delivery has not been received by May 21, 2033.
Royalty Agreement
RG AG received a 0.30% NSR royalty for all metals produced from an area of interest of approximately 186 square kilometers. The NSR rate will increase by 0.0375% per year until the earlier to occur of the first delivery under the Gold Stream Agreement or May 21, 2033, to a maximum of 0.60% NSR. If the Gold Stream Agreement is subject to early
termination, the NSR rate will be the rate in place at the time of exercise if the early termination is exercised by RG AG, or 0.60% if the early termination is exercised by Solaris.
RG AG will also maintain certain rights to participate in any future stream, royalty or similar production-based financing on the Warintza land package.
The Warintza project consists of a cluster of five separate porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold intrusions that coalesce within two overlapping open pits. Solaris believes that exploration potential is high for near and in-mine targets, as well as within the larger project area. Solaris is targeting a Final Investment Decision by the end of 2026.
Lawyers-Ranch Project Royalty
On May 16, 2025, we acquired a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Ranch portion of the Lawyers-Ranch Project operated by Thesis Gold Inc. from a private seller for cash consideration of $12.5 million. The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.
Additional Xavantina Stream
On March 28, 2025, we entered into an additional precious metals purchase agreement (“Additional Stream”) with Ero Gold Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ero Copper Corporation, and certain of its affiliates for gold produced from the Xavantina mine for an advance payment of $50 million. The Additional Stream is incremental to the precious metals purchase agreement dated June 29, 2021 (“Base Stream”), and significantly extends the area of interest.
When considered with the Base Stream, the Additional Stream effectively increases the threshold for stream deliveries at the 25% stream rate from 93,000 ounces to 160,000 ounces, with deliveries payable at a cash price of 40% of the spot gold price. As of June 30, 2025, 48,400 ounces of gold have been delivered under the Base Stream at a cash purchase price of 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered, which will increase to 40% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered upon the delivery of 49,000 ounces.
The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.
Property Developments
This section provides recent updates for our principal properties as reported by the operators, either directly to us or in their publicly available documents.
Stream Interests
Andacollo
Gold stream deliveries from Andacollo were approximately 5,100 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 5,800 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Stream deliveries typically occur approximately five months after mine production. We receive stream deliveries based on a fixed payability factor of 89%.
On June 2, 2025, Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"), reported a mechanical issue at Andacollo requiring a maintenance shutdown of the SAG mill. On July 24, 2025, Teck reported that the SAG mill successfully restarted in late June and production has now resumed to full rates, and 2025 copper production guidance is unchanged from the previous guidance range of 45,000 to 55,000 tonnes. Teck does not provide gold production guidance. Teck further reported that both union contracts at Andacollo were ratified in June and July, 2025, respectively, each covering a three year period.
The mine life of Andacollo is expected to continue until 2037, although Teck has reported that additional environmental permits will be required to extend the mine life beyond 2031.
Mount Milligan
Gold stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 8,200 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 9,800 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Copper stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 1.4 million pounds during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 2.5 million pounds during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Decreased gold and copper deliveries in the current period primarily resulted from differences in the timing of shipments and settlements during the periods, as well as lower throughput, grades, and recovery experienced at the mine in the fourth quarter of 2024. Deliveries at Mount Milligan lag
mine production by approximately five months. Gold stream deliveries are based on a fixed payability factor of 97% and copper stream deliveries are based on a minimum payability factor of 95%.
On August 6, Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") provided an update on second quarter production and the status of the mine life extension study at the Mount Milligan mine in British Columbia.
Centerra reported that gold grades in the first half of 2025 were lower than anticipated, primarily attributed to certain areas within the pit with complex geology. In order to address this issue and improve geological and mine plan confidence, Centerra commenced an infill and grade control drilling program in the second quarter of 2025. As a result of the lower gold grades, Centerra updated 2025 guidance for gold production to 145,000 to 165,000 ounces, from 165,000 to 185,000 ounces previously, and reaffirmed its copper production guidance range of 50 to 60 million pounds. Both gold and copper production are expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year.
With respect to the PFS to extend the mine life, Centerra reported that work is on track to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. Centerra remains optimistic that it can extend the current mine life beyond 2036 with the addition of tailings capacity, and increase the annual mill throughput in the range of 10% through ball mill motor upgrades.
Pueblo Viejo
Gold stream deliveries from Pueblo Viejo were approximately 6,100 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 7,000 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gold stream deliveries are based on a fixed payability factor of 99.9%. Decreased gold deliveries in the current period resulted primarily from lower throughput and gold grade.
Silver stream deliveries were approximately 196,900 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 332,700 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Silver stream deliveries are based on a fixed payability factor of 99.0%. Decreased silver deliveries in the current period resulted primarily from lower throughput, silver grade and recovery.
Gold and silver deliveries are quarterly and typically occur one to three months after mine production.
Royalty Interests
Cortez
Production attributable to our royalty interest at the Cortez Complex was approximately 176,900 ounces of gold for the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which 27,900 ounces were attributable to the Legacy Zone, and 149,000 ounces were attributable to the CC Zone, compared to approximately 162,400 ounces of gold for the three months ended June 30, 2024, of which 42,600 ounces were attributable to the Legacy Zone, and 119,800 ounces were attributable to the CC Zone.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded net income and comprehensive income attributable to Royal Gold stockholders (“net income”) of $132.3 million, or $2.01 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $81.2 million, or $1.23 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher revenue and lower tax expense, each discussed below.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total revenue of $209.6 million, comprised of stream revenue of $133.2 million and royalty revenue of $76.5 million at an average gold price of $3,280 per ounce, an average silver price of $33.68 per ounce and an average copper price of $4.32 per pound. This is compared to total revenue of $174.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, comprised of stream revenue of $123.0 million and royalty revenue of $51.1 million, at an average gold price of $2,338 per ounce, an average silver price of $28.84 per ounce and an average copper price of $4.42 per pound. Revenue and the corresponding production attributable to our stream and royalty interests for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, are as follows:

(3)Individually, no stream or royalty included within the “Other” category contributed greater than 10% of our total revenue for either period. In our 2024 10-K, Khoemacau and Peñasquito were reclassified from principal to non-principal stream and royalty properties, respectively, and are shown within "Other" in the table above.
The increase in our total revenue resulted primarily from higher average gold and silver prices compared to the prior period. Higher gold production from Peñasquito and Manh Choh (included within "Other" royalty revenue in the table above) also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by lower gold sales from Xavantina (included within "Other" stream revenue in the table above) when compared to the prior year period.
Gold and silver ounces and copper pounds purchased and sold during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and gold and silver ounces and copper pounds in inventory as of June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, for our streaming interests were as follows:

_______________________________________________
(1) Pueblo Viejo silver purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2025 do not include 165,700 ounces of silver permitted to be deferred based on the terms of the Pueblo Viejo stream agreement. Total deferred silver ounces were 2.1 million ounces at June 30, 2025, and the timing for the delivery of this deferred amount is uncertain.
(2) In our 2024 10-K, Khoemacau was reclassified from a principal to a non-principal property and is shown within "Other" in the table above.
Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, was $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and, except for Mount Milligan, is the result of our purchase of metal for a cash payment that is a set contractual percentage of the spot price for that metal near the date of metal delivery. For Mount Milligan, the cash payments under the stream agreement are the lesser of $435 per ounce or the prevailing market price of gold when purchased and 15% of the spot price for copper near the date of metal delivery. Separately, and in addition to the cash payments under the stream agreement, the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement provides for cash payments on gold and copper deliveries that are expected to begin after certain thresholds are met or earlier, if metal prices are below certain thresholds and if requested by Centerra. For further detail on the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement refer to our 2024 10-K.
General and administrative costs decreased to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease compared to the prior year period was primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower stream depletion rates as a result of proven and probable mineral reserve increases by our operators and lower gold sales from Xavantina compared to the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by higher production at Voisey's Bay and Manh Choh when compared to the prior year period.
Interest and other expense decreased to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of lower average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended
June 30, 2025, there was no outstanding debt compared to average amounts outstanding of $91.5 million at an average all-in borrowing rate of 6.5% for the prior year period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $10.5 million, compared to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The income tax expense resulted in an effective tax rate of 7.4% in the current period, compared with 18.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The lower income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, included a $9.3 million discrete benefit related to a withholding tax refund on a foreign royalty and a discrete tax benefit of $4.3 million attributable to the release of a valuation allowance.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded net income of $245.8 million, or $3.73 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $128.4 million, or $1.95 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher revenue and lower tax expense, each discussed below.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total revenue of $403.1 million, comprised of stream revenue of $255.7 million and royalty revenue of $147.4 million at an average gold price of $3,067 per ounce, an average silver price of $32.76 per ounce and an average copper price of $4.28 per pound. This is compared to total revenue of $323.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, comprised of stream revenue of $225.5 million and royalty revenue of $97.5 million, at an average gold price of $2,203 per ounce, an average silver price of $26.07 per ounce and an average copper price of $4.12 per pound. Revenue and the corresponding production attributable to our stream and royalty interests for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, are as follows:

_______________________________________________
(1)Reported production relates to the amount of stream metal sales and the metal sales attributable to our royalty interests for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, and may differ from the operators’ public reporting due to a number of factors, including the timing of the operator’s concentrate shipments, the delivery of metal to us and our subsequent sale of the delivered metal. Refer to Note 6 to the notes to consolidated financial statements.
(2)Refer to “Property Developments” above for a discussion of recent developments at principal properties.
(3)Individually, no stream or royalty included within the “Other” category contributed greater than 10% of our total revenue for either period. In our 2024 10-K, Khoemacau and Peñasquito were reclassified from principal to non-principal stream and royalty properties, respectively, and are shown within "Other" in the table above.
The increase in our total revenue resulted primarily from higher average gold, silver and copper prices, higher gold production from Peñasquito and Manh Choh, and higher gold sales from Pueblo Viejo. The increase was partially offset by lower gold sales from Xavantina compared to the prior year period.
Gold and silver ounces and copper pounds purchased and sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, and gold and silver ounces and copper pounds in inventory as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, for our streaming interests were as follows:

(1) Pueblo Viejo silver purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2025 do not include 465,900 ounces of silver permitted to be deferred based on the terms of the Pueblo Viejo stream agreement. Total deferred silver ounces were 2.1 million ounces at June 30, 2025, and the timing for the delivery of this deferred amount is uncertain.
(2) In our 2024 10-K, Khoemacau was reclassified from a principal to a non-principal property and is shown within "Other" in the table above.
Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, increased to $48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher gold sales from Pueblo Viejo, partially offset by lower gold sales from Xavantina compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and, except for Mount Milligan, is the result of our purchase of metal for a cash payment that is a set contractual percentage of the spot price for that metal near the date of metal delivery. For Mount Milligan, the cash payments under the existing stream agreement are the lesser of $435 per ounce or the prevailing market price of gold when purchased and 15% of the spot price for copper near the date of metal delivery. Separately, and in addition to the cash payments under the existing stream agreement, the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement provides for cash payments on gold and copper deliveries that are expected to begin after certain thresholds are met or earlier, if metal prices are below certain thresholds but only as requested by Centerra. For further detail on the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement, refer to our 2024 10-K.
General and administrative costs decreased to $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense compared to the prior year period.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased to $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $74.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower stream depletion rates, as a result of proven and probable mineral reserve increases by our operators when compared to the prior year period, lower gold sales from Xavantina and lower gold production from the Cortez Legacy Zone.
Interest and other expense decreased to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of lower average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was no outstanding debt , compared to average amounts outstanding of $156 million at an average all-in borrowing rate of 6.5% for the prior year period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $20.9 million, compared with income tax expense of $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The income tax expense resulted in an effective tax rate of 7.8% in the current period, compared with 26.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The six months ended June 30, 2025, included a $12.0 million discrete benefit for additional recoverable basis in foreign jurisdictions, a discrete tax benefit of $4.3 million attributable to the release of a valuation allowance, and a $11.0 million discrete benefit related to withholding tax refunds on foreign royalties. The higher income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to a $13.0 million discrete income tax expense related to the consideration from the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
At June 30, 2025, we had current assets of $342.0 million compared to current liabilities of $76.1 million, which resulted in working capital of $265.9 million. This compares to current assets of $275.3 million and current liabilities of $85.2 million at December 31, 2024, resulting in working capital of $190.1 million. The increase in working capital was primarily due to an increase in our available cash, which primarily resulted from higher net cash proceeds from our stream and royalty interests, partially offset by $100 million paid for the Warintza stream project, $50 million paid for the additional Xavantina stream and $12.5 million paid for the additional Lawyers-Ranch royalty during the current period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, liquidity needs were met from $289.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities and our available cash resources. Working capital, combined with available capacity under our revolving credit facility, resulted in approximately $1.3 billion of total liquidity at June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding debt and $1.0 billion available under our revolving credit facility. See below for further developments on our revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with each financial covenant under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025.
We believe that our current financial resources and funds generated from operations will be adequate to cover anticipated expenditures for debt service and general and administrative expense costs for the foreseeable future. Our current financial resources are also available to fund dividends, for the acquisition of Sandstorm and Horizon and for acquisitions of stream and royalty interests, including any conditional funding schedules. Our long-term capital requirements are primarily affected by our ongoing acquisition activities. We currently, and generally at any time, have acquisition opportunities in various stages of active review. In the event of one or more substantial stream or royalty interest or other acquisitions, we may seek additional debt or equity financing as necessary. We occasionally borrow and repay amounts under our revolving credit facility and may do so in the future.
Please refer to our risk factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K for a discussion of certain risks that may impact our liquidity and capital resources.
Recent Liquidity Developments
Revolving Credit Facility Developments
On June 26, 2025, we entered into a sixth amendment to our revolving credit facility dated as of June 2, 2017, as amended. The amendment extended the maturity date from June 28, 2028, to June 30, 2030, increased the size of the accordion feature from $250 million to $400 million and revised the leverage ratio required to be less than or equal to 4.00:1.00 for the two fiscal quarters following the consummation of a material permitted acquisition (as defined) and 3.50:1.00 at all
other times.
In July 2025, we notified the members of the credit syndication group of our exercise of the accordion feature and received commitments from the group for the full $400 million of increased capacity. On August 5, 2025, we closed on the accordion feature with our credit syndication group, bringing our total committed revolving credit facility to $1.4 billion.
As part of the Kansanshi gold stream acquisition discussed above, we borrowed $825 million under our revolving credit facility. Following the draw as part of the Kansanshi gold stream acquisition, $575 million remains available.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $289.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $251.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net cash proceeds received from our stream and royalty interests of $66.4 million and lower debt cash interest payments of $6.2 million when compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by cash proceeds of $24.5 million received for the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement and $12.0 million of interest from the repayment of the Khoemacau debt facility in the prior year period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $171.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The period over period change was primarily due to the $100 million payment for the Warintza stream and royalty, the $50 million payment for the acquisition of the additional Xavantina stream, and the $12.5 million payment for the additional Lawyers-Ranch royalty in the current period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $65.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $254.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower debt repayments when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was partially offset by higher dividend payments compared to the prior year period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our earnings and cash flows are significantly impacted by changes in the market price of gold and other metals. Gold, silver, copper, and other metal prices can fluctuate significantly and are affected by numerous factors, such as demand, production levels, economic policies of central banks, producer hedging, world political and economic events, inflation and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Please see the risk factor entitled “Our revenue is subject to volatility in metal prices, which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow,” under Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K, for more information about risks associated with metal price volatility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we reported revenue of $403.1 million, with an average gold price for the period of $3,067 per ounce, an average silver price of $32.76 per ounce, and an average copper price of $4.28 per pound. The table below shows the impact that a 10% increase or decrease in the average price of the specified metal would have had on our total reported revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial and accounting officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025, at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Royal Gold have been detected.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K.
Our indebtedness or difficulties in accessing the commercial debt market could adversely affect our financial condition and impair our ability to operate our business.
Following our payment of the Advance under the Kansanshi precious metals purchase agreement and exercise of the accordion feature under our revolving credit facility, we had $1.4 billion available under our revolving credit facility, $825 million of which was drawn. We anticipate making additional draws under our revolving credit facility to fund the closing of the Sandstorm and Horizon Transactions. Historically, we have used borrowings under our revolving credit facility to finance investments and acquisitions, and we may incur indebtedness for investments, acquisitions or other purposes in future periods.
Our credit facility expires in June 2030. In the future, we may be unable to obtain new financing or refinance indebtedness on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient for our business objectives. Our ability to obtain financing, our borrowing costs, and the terms of any financings depend, in part, on prevailing market conditions at the time we seek financing, which may vary based on factors such as market interest rates and ancillary fees, acceptable return targets for lenders, changes in strategy among lenders, and lenders’ willingness to provide financing to the mining industry. Weakness in financial markets or economic conditions, or depressed market prices for gold, silver, copper, or other metals, may also increase the interest rates that lenders require us to pay or adversely affect our ability to obtain financing. Further, financial institutions are facing increasingly rigorous regulation, including more stringent capital and leverage requirements, which may decrease their ability or willingness to lend to us in amounts and on terms comparable to our current credit facility, or at all.
Higher borrowing costs, future increases in our level of indebtedness, or difficulties in accessing the commercial debt market could adversely affect us as follows:
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund acquisitions, working capital, or dividends
•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business
•restrict us from exploiting business opportunities
•make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy
•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness or greater access to financing
•require the consent of our existing lenders to incur additional indebtedness
•limit our ability to borrow additional funds for acquisitions, working capital, or debt-service requirements
•increase our cost of capital, including as a result of higher interest rates and the effects of exchange rates
•decrease our future earnings
•increase our exposure to the credit risks of bank group lenders or those institutions with which we maintain deposits
Our credit agreement contains financial and other restrictive covenants. These covenants could limit our ability to engage in activities that are in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not waived, could result in the acceleration of all outstanding indebtedness.
The issuance of a significant number of shares of Royal Gold common stock and a resulting “market overhang” could adversely affect the market price of shares of Royal Gold common stock after completion of the Sandstorm Transaction.
On completion of the Sandstorm Transaction, a significant number of additional shares of Royal Gold common stock will be issued and available for trading in the public market. The increase in the number of shares of our common stock may lead to sales of such shares or the perception that such sales may occur (commonly referred to as “market overhang”), either of which may adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, shares of our common stock.
The market price of Royal Gold common stock may decline if large amounts of Royal Gold common stock are sold following the completion of the Sandstorm Transaction and may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected or that are currently affecting the market price of Royal Gold common stock.
The market price of Royal Gold common stock may fluctuate significantly following completion of the Sandstorm Transaction and holders of Royal Gold common stock could lose some or all of the value of their investment. If the Sandstorm Transaction is consummated, Royal Gold will issue shares of Royal Gold common stock to former Sandstorm shareholders. The Sandstorm arrangement agreement contains no restrictions on the ability of former Sandstorm shareholders to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares following completion of the Sandstorm Transaction. Former Sandstorm shareholders may decide not to hold the shares of Royal Gold common stock that they receive in the Sandstorm Transaction, and Royal Gold’s historic stockholders may decide to reduce their investment in Royal Gold as a result of the changes to Royal Gold’s investment profile as a result of the Sandstorm Transaction. These sales of Royal Gold common stock (or the perception that these sales may occur) could have the effect of depressing the market price for Royal Gold common stock. In addition, Royal Gold’s financial position after completion of the Sandstorm Transaction may differ from its financial position before the completion of the Sandstorm Transaction, and the results of Royal Gold’s operations and cash flows after the completion of the Sandstorm Transaction may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting its financial position or results of operations and cash flows, all of which could adversely affect the market price of Royal Gold common stock. Accordingly, the market price and performance of Royal Gold common stock is likely to be different from the performance of Royal Gold common stock prior to the Sandstorm Transaction.
The Sandstorm and Horizon Transactions are subject to a number of conditions which may not be satisfied or waived, may delay the completion of the Transactions and could result in additional expenditures of money and resources.
Each of Royal Gold’s, Sandstorm’s and Horizon’s obligations to consummate the Transactions, as applicable, are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Royal Gold, Sandstorm, or Horizon to the extent permissible under applicable laws) of a number of conditions, including, for the Sandstorm Transaction, approvals by Royal Gold’s stockholders and Sandstorm’s shareholders, approvals by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and receipt of certain regulatory clearances and approvals, and, for the Horizon Transaction, approvals by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and receipt of certain regulatory clearances and approvals. Many of the conditions to completion of the Transactions are not within Royal Gold’s control and Royal Gold cannot predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to the outside date set out in the Transactions, it is possible that either, or both, of the Transactions may be terminated. In addition, completion of the Transactions may take longer and could cost more than we expect. The requirements for obtaining the required regulatory approvals and clearances could delay the completion of the Transactions for a significant period of time or prevent them from occurring. Any delay in completing the Transactions may adversely affect the synergies and other benefits that Royal Gold expects to achieve if the Transactions and the integration of businesses were to be completed within the expected timeframe.
Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon are expected to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Transactions, which may be in excess of those anticipated by them.
Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon have incurred and are expected to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the Transactions, combining the operations of the companies and achieving desired synergies. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial and, in many cases, will be borne by Royal
Gold whether or not the Transactions are completed. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, employee retention, severance and benefit costs, and filing fees. Royal Gold will also incur costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and other employment-related costs. Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Transactions and the integration of the companies’ businesses. While Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses. The elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may not offset integration-related costs and achieve a net benefit in the near term, or at all.
The combined company may be unable to integrate the businesses of Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions.
The Transactions involve the combination of companies that currently operate as independent public companies. The combination of independent businesses is complex, costly and time consuming, and significant management attention and resources will be required to integrate the business practices and operations of Sandstorm and Horizon into Royal Gold. This may divert our focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and/or operational matters during this integration stage. The success and the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions will depend upon our ability to effectively manage the integration of Sandstorm and Horizon. Potential difficulties and risks that may accompany the Transactions include the following:
•the inability to successfully combine the business or personnel of Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve, on a timely basis, or at all, the cost savings and other benefits anticipated to result from the Transactions;
•complexities associated with managing and supporting the combined businesses and the expanded operations and portfolio; and
•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Transactions.
The benefits and synergies realized from the Transactions may vary from our expectations.
The combined company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Transactions, which could adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition and operating results. For example, no assurances can be given that certain development assets which are expected to be completed in the near to mid-term, including Platreef, MARA and the Hod Maden Project, will begin production on the expected timelines or at all, or that their actual operating performance will meet our expectations. Expected benefits from the Transactions are based on estimates of a variety of key factors, including mineral reserves and resources, grade, recovery rates, and the ability of processing infrastructure to meet desired throughput rates, among others, and such estimates may prove incorrect.
Significant demands will be placed on the combined company as a result of the Transactions.
As a result of the pursuit and completion of the Transactions, significant demands will be placed on the managerial, operational and financial personnel and systems of the combined company. We cannot provide any assurance that the systems, procedures and controls of the combined company will be adequate to support the expanded portfolio of streaming and royalty interests and other assets and associated increased costs and complexity following and resulting from the Transactions.
The combined company’s interest in the Hod Maden project following closing of the Transactions will subject to the risks associated with the conduct of joint ventures and joint operations.
Horizon has a 30% equity interest in the entity which owns the Hod Maden project, and following closing of the Transactions, the combined company will hold this interest. Horizon is not the operator of the Hod Maden project and Horizon’s interest in the Hod Maden project is subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures or joint operations. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events could have a material adverse impact on the combined company’s profitability or the viability of its interests held through the joint arrangement, which could have a material adverse impact on the combined company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition: increases in the capital requirements to develop the Hod Maden project; the inability of the operator to secure sufficient project-level financing for a portion of the development costs for Hod Maden or not
being able to obtain such sufficient financing on favorable terms to the combined company or the other joint venture partners; changes in the timing or amount of cash calls to fund the equity portion of the Hod Maden project by the joint venture partners and the ability of the joint venture partners (including the combined company) to fund or finance such cash calls; the ability of the operator to fulfil its role as operator of the Hod Maden project, including social and regulatory licenses to operate; that mining, environmental or operating licenses already issued for the Hod Maden project could be suspended or revoked, or amendments to existing permits be rejected; disagreements with the partners on how to develop and operate the Hod Maden project efficiently; the combined company’s inability to exert influence over certain strategic decisions made in respect of the Hod Maden project; the inability of our operating partners to meet their obligations to the joint operation or third parties; and litigation with our partners regarding joint operation matters. The success of any joint operation will be dependent on the operator for the timing of activities related to the Hod Maden project and the combined company will be largely unable to direct or control the activities of the operator. The combined company will be unable to provide assurance that all decisions of the operator will achieve the expected goals, including the successful development of the Hod Maden project and its transition to commercial production.
Royal Gold stockholders will have reduced ownership in the combined company.
Royal Gold will issue 0.0625 shares of Royal Gold common stock in exchange for each Sandstorm common share held (other than Sandstorm common shares held by Royal Gold or its affiliates or dissenting Sandstorm shareholders), subject to adjustment if applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Sandstorm arrangement agreement. Following the completion of the Sandstorm Transaction, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of Royal Gold and shareholders of Sandstorm immediately prior to the Sandstorm Transaction will own approximately 77% and 23% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis. As a result, Royal Gold’s current stockholders will have less influence over the combined company as stockholders than they currently have over Royal Gold.
Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon may be the targets of legal claims, securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims and negative publicity related to the Transactions.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisitions, mergers or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Royal Gold’s, Sandstorm’s and Horizon’s respective liquidity and financial condition.
Lawsuits that may be brought against Royal Gold, Sandstorm, Horizon or their respective directors which could seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the arrangement agreements already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Transactions. In each arrangement agreement, one of the conditions to the closing is that no law (including injunction or judgements) is in effect that makes the Transaction illegal or enjoins or otherwise prohibits Royal Gold, Sandstorm or Horizon, as applicable, from consummating the Transaction. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of a Transaction, that injunction may delay or prevent the Transactions from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect Royal Gold’s, Sandstorm’s and Horizon’s respective business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
On August 1, 2025, Royal Gold borrowed $825 million under its revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the Advance relating to the Kansanshi precious metals purchase agreement. See “Recent Developments – Kansanshi Gold Stream Acquisition.” On August 5, 2025, Royal Gold and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an incremental joinder to the revolving credit facility, pursuant to which Royal Gold exercised the full $400 million accordion feature under the revolving credit facility, bringing the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility to $1.4 billion. The foregoing description of the incremental joinder does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the incremental joinder, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this report. Following exercise of the accordion feature and the August 1, 2025 borrowings, $575 million remains available under the revolving credit facility.
