Gold Royalty Corp. Reports Exceptional First-Half 2026 Financial Results and Positive Outlook

Gold Royalty Corp. (GROY) has unveiled an impressive financial overview for the initial six months of 2026, showcasing unprecedented revenue figures and a substantial surge in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The company's steadfast commitment to its full-year production targets remains, accompanied by strategic blueprints for expansion across its extensive portfolio of over 250 assets. This period's achievements underscore a robust operational framework and a promising trajectory for future growth within the precious metals sector, reinforcing investor confidence in its long-term viability and strategic direction.

For the half-year ending June 30, Gold Royalty reported a total of $17.3 million in combined revenue, land agreement proceeds, and interest, marking a remarkable 116% increase compared to the same timeframe in the preceding year. Gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) experienced a significant boost, climbing by over 40% to reach 3,677 ounces. Concurrently, adjusted EBITDA soared by an impressive 212% to $12.6 million, as highlighted by Chairman and CEO David Garofalo during the company's second-quarter earnings conference call. The second quarter alone contributed $7.9 million to total revenue, encompassing land agreement proceeds and interest, representing 1,757 GEOs. Adjusted EBITDA for this quarter stood at $5.6 million, a substantial rise from $2.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2025, according to Chief Financial Officer Andrew Gubbels. The company concluded the second quarter with a healthy cash reserve exceeding $11.3 million, zero debt, and an untapped $150 million credit facility, positioning it for strategic investments and sustained growth.

The company has maintained its 2026 guidance, projecting between 7,500 and 9,300 GEOs. Vice President of Capital Markets and Sustainability, Jackie Przybylowski, noted that the first half's production accounted for 44% of the midpoint of this guidance, exceeding the anticipated 40% first-half contribution. Production volumes are expected to be more concentrated in the latter half of the year as operations at Vareš and County Line escalate towards peak output. Additional growth potential is foreseen from projects at Borden, Côté, and Pedra Branca, with the possibility of further upside from the processing of stockpiled material at the Canadian Malartic Barnat pit, though this is not factored into current guidance. Przybylowski indicated that the company would assess narrowing the guidance range post-third-quarter results, with progress at DPM Metals' Vareš mine and CoreX's Pedra Branca operation being critical indicators. By 2030, Gold Royalty anticipates its production from existing assets to expand significantly, reaching an estimated 28,000 to 34,000 GEOs, approximately six times the 2025 output.

President John Griffith affirmed the company's ongoing pursuit of acquisitions, despite fierce competition for larger royalty transactions, particularly those offering near-term cash flow, located in favorable jurisdictions, and managed by established operators. In June, Gold Royalty expanded its holdings by acquiring an additional 0.1875% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on the REN project for $6.25 million. This project, operated by Barrick and co-owned with Newmont through the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, was already subject to Gold Royalty’s 1.5% NSR royalty and a 3.5% Net Profits Interest royalty. Barrick projects REN to commence production by the close of 2026, aiming for an annual output of 140,000 ounces by late 2027. Following the quarter's end, Gold Royalty secured two additional Nevada royalties: a 2% NSR royalty on the AngloGold Ashanti-operated Sterling project and a 0.5% NSR royalty on sections of the i-80 Gold-operated Granite Creek. The Granite Creek royalty covers parts of the Felix and Blue Bell pits, which, while not part of the initial eight-and-a-half-year mine plan, offer long-term optionality. The company also highlighted several anticipated developments for the second half of the year, including DPM Metals' Vareš project achieving commercial production by the end of September and full production by year-end, where Gold Royalty holds a stream on all copper output. Other significant milestones include first production at REN by year-end, a third-quarter study to double plant capacity at Aura Minerals' Borborema project, a third-quarter feasibility study for i-80 Gold's Granite Creek underground project, and fourth-quarter studies concerning First Majestic Silver's Jerritt Canyon restart and Canadian Malartic's Odyssey project. Garofalo reiterated the company's commitment to accretive growth while maintaining stringent discipline in capital allocation decisions.

Gold Royalty Corp. has demonstrated robust growth in its recent financial reporting, showcasing significant increases in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2026. The company's strategic focus on a royalty model provides insulation from operational cost fluctuations, ensuring consistent cash flow. With maintained production guidance and several key projects advancing, Gold Royalty is poised for continued expansion, further solidifying its position in the precious metals market through disciplined growth and strategic acquisitions.
