Royal Gold Reports Record Revenue for Fiscal 2013, the Acquisition of a Royalty on El Morro, and Commissioning at Mt. Milligan

08.08.2013  |  Business Wire

Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ:RGLD) (TSX: RGL) (“Royal Gold” or the “Company”) today announced net income attributable to Royal Gold stockholders (“net income”) of $69.2 million, or $1.09 per basic share, on record annual royalty revenue of $289.2 million for fiscal 2013 (ended June 30). This compares to net income for fiscal 2012 of $92.5 million, or $1.61 per basic share, on royalty revenue of $263.1 million. The Company also announced that it has acquired a 70% interest in a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on certain portions of the El Morro copper gold project (“El Morro”) in Chile, from Xstrata Copper Chile S.A., for $35 million.

Fiscal 2013 Highlights:

  • Royalty revenue of $289.2 million, up 10% from fiscal 2012;
  • Operating cash flow of $172.6 million, up 6% from fiscal 2012;
  • Net income of $69.2 million, down 25% from fiscal 2012 due mainly to a non-cash impairment loss recorded in the fiscal third quarter and higher interest expense;
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.12 per basic share, or 90% of revenue; and
  • Cash dividends of $43.9 million, representing a payout ratio of 25% of operating cash flow.

Other Highlights:

  • Acquisition of a royalty on the El Morro copper-gold project in Chile for $35 million;
  • Announcement that Barrick intends to re-sequence construction of the process plant and other facilities in Argentina to target first production at Pascua-Lama by mid-2016; and
  • A phased start-up of the concentrator at Mt. Milligan is planned for early August, with all circuits expected to be operational in September.

Tony Jensen, President and CEO, commented, “Royal Gold is reporting record annual revenue today despite a lower gold price, due to production increases at several of our principal properties in fiscal 2013. We expect to build on this success and enter a new phase of growth as Mt. Milligan begins processing ore this month, and as we continue to look for opportunities to put our $1 billion in available liquidity to work for our shareholders on other quality properties. In addition, we have acquired a royalty at El Morro, which is among the world’s highest grade undeveloped gold and copper porphyries with reserves of 9.5 million ounces of gold and 7 billion pounds of copper.”

Net income for the fiscal year was impacted by an impairment loss recognized on available-for-sale securities recorded in the third fiscal quarter that had an effect, net of tax, of $0.23 per basic share. Net income was also impacted by an increase in depletion expense as several properties reported higher production during the year. The decrease in earnings per share was also attributable to an increase in interest expense associated with the Company’s 2019 Notes and the issuance of 5.25 million shares of common stock in October 2012 as part of a registered offering. These impacts were partially offset by higher royalty revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2013 was $260.8 million ($4.12 per basic share), representing 90% of revenue. This compares to Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2012 of $237.6 million ($4.15 per basic share), or 90% of revenue. Operating cash flow for fiscal 2013 totaled $172.6 million, up 6% from $162.2 million in the prior year.

The increase in fiscal 2013 revenue was largely driven by increased production at Andacollo, Robinson, Mulatos, Holt, Canadian Malartic, Las Cruces and Wolverine. These increases were partially offset during the period by lower revenue from Voisey’s Bay and production declines at Cortez and Leeville. The average gold price in fiscal 2013 of $1,605 per ounce was 4% lower than the average gold price of $1,673 per ounce in fiscal 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital surplus of $709.4 million. Current assets were $744.5 million (including $664.0 million in cash and equivalents), compared to current liabilities of $35.1 million, resulting in a current ratio of 21 to 1.

For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2013, net income was $10.7 million, or $0.16 per basic share compared with net income of $20.6 million, or $0.35 per basic share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Royalty revenue was $57.3 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013, compared with royalty revenue of $60.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $50.3 million ($0.78 per basic share), or 88% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $54.3 million ($0.91 per basic share), or 90% of revenue, for the prior year quarter. Operating cash flow was essentially unchanged from the prior year quarter.

Results for the fourth quarter were impacted by a lower average gold price of $1,414 per ounce, representing a 12% decrease over the prior year quarter, lower production at Peñasquito and lower contribution from Cortez relative to the prior year quarter, along with higher depreciation and interest expense.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Mt. Milligan

Thompson Creek reports that commissioning of all major equipment in the mill is underway and progressing on schedule. The primary crusher and conveyor have been commissioned, the coarse ore stockpile has been bedded, and the mine is positioned to deliver ore to the crusher. A phased start-up of the concentrator is scheduled to commence in early August, with the first ore feed expected to occur by mid-August. All of the concentrator grinding and flotation circuits are expected to be operational in September.

El Morro

On August 7, 2013, Royal Gold acquired a 70% interest in a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on certain portions of the El Morro copper gold project in Chile (“El Morro”), from Xstrata Copper Chile S.A., for $35 million. Goldcorp holds 70% ownership of the El Morro project and is the operator, with the remaining 30% held by New Gold. Goldcorp and New Gold reported that as of December 31, 2012, proven and probable reserves totaled 9.5 million ounces of gold and 7 billion pounds of copper on a 100% basis. This royalty encompasses some legacy BHP concessions that are currently estimated by Royal Gold to cover approximately one-third of the total reserve.

Goldcorp has indicated that all El Morro project field construction activities have been suspended since April 27, 2012 pending the definition and implementation by the Chilean environmental permitting authority (the Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental or SEA) of a community consultation process which corrects certain deficiencies in that process as specifically identified by the Antofogasta Court of Appeals. The Chilean authorities and local communities continue to refine and advance this new consultation process with Goldcorp’s support.

Pascua-Lama

In mid-July 2013, Barrick announced that a ruling from the Chilean Court of Appeals requires it to complete Pascua-Lama’s water management system to the satisfaction of Chile’s Environmental Superintendent before resuming construction activities in Chile.

In early July, Barrick stated that it has submitted a plan to construct the project's water management system in compliance with permit conditions for completion by the end of 2014. After this, Barrick expects to complete remaining construction works in Chile, including pre-stripping. Barrick also stated that it intends to re-sequence construction of the process plant and other facilities in Argentina in order to target first production by mid calendar 2016, replacing the previous schedule which called for production in the second half of calendar 2014.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights at certain of the Company’s principal producing and development properties during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, compared with the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 are listed below. Production for our producing properties reflects the actual production subject to our interests reported to us by the various operators through June 30, 2013.

Producing Properties

Andacollo – Production increased 33% over the prior year primarily due to higher mill throughput and higher ore grades, with mill throughput averaging about 47,000 tonnes per day during our fourth fiscal quarter of 2013.

Cortez – Production decreased 30% over the prior year as Barrick continues to prioritize production from their higher grade Cortez Hills operation that is not covered by our royalty interest. During our fiscal fourth quarter, mining resumed at the Pipeline Complex, which is subject to our royalty interests, as surface mining equipment returned from the Cortez Hills pit. Our royalty interests cover all of the Pipeline pit and part of the Gap pit.

Holt – Production increased 37% over the prior year as underground operations at Holt continued to ramp-up and are now at steady state production levels.

Las Cruces – Production increased 29% over the prior year due to a full year run rate at design capacity. First Quantum Minerals completed an acquisition of Inmet Mining in April 2013 and now operates the Las Cruces mine. First Quantum plans to test the plant at higher ore throughput and lower grade to assess the effects on plant performance before Las Cruces enters into lower copper grade areas of the mine, which is expected in calendar 2014.

Mulatos – Production increased 29% over the prior year due to the contribution of the high grade mill installed during the year and higher crusher throughput for the heap leach operations. Alamos expects to have sufficient Escondida high-grade zone reserves to continue processing until the first quarter of calendar 2014, at which point the Escondida Deep zone is expected to provide additional feed to continue mill production to the end of the second quarter of calendar 2014. The Mulatos royalty is capped at 2.0 million gold ounces of production. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 1.1 million cumulative ounces of gold have been produced.

Peñasquito – Gold production increased 26% over the prior year, while reported production for silver, lead and zinc decreased. Goldcorp’s annual guidance for Peñasquito anticipated lower production in the first half of calendar 2013 as the mine moved from a lower grade portion of the pit to higher grade ore. The sulphide plant achieved throughput of over 105,000 tonnes per day during the second calendar quarter of 2013 following the completion of crusher maintenance, blasting improvements, and the addition of new fresh water wells. In June, 2013, the sulphide plant achieved throughput of over 120,000 tonnes per day.

Goldcorp announced that it has identified a new water source within their current permitted basin that has the potential to supply sufficient water necessary to reach full design capacity. The Company is currently working to acquire necessary rights-of-way and is evaluating alternative routes to access the well field. The new water source will provide the flexibility to resume ramp-up to the design throughput of 130,000 tonnes per day. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013 with completion expected in the second half of calendar 2014.

Robinson – Copper production increased 39% over the prior year, primarily due to improved mill recovery and higher productivity at the mine. Mining of higher grade gold areas has resulted in favorable gold production during calendar 2013. Production during the remainder of calendar 2013 is likely to return to more normal gold grades.

Voisey’s Bay – Nickel production increased 9% over the prior year, while copper production decreased approximately 5%. We note that the timing of port schedules impacts the shipping calendar, generally favoring the quarters ended March and September.

In late March 2013, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, announced amendments to their Voisey’s Bay Development Agreement including a commitment from Vale to pursue underground mining to extend the mine life. The agreement also allows Vale to continue processing concentrate outside of the province while construction is being finalized at the Long Harbour processing plant.

Wolverine Production increased significantly over the prior year. Yukon Zinc reported that process circuit modifications and the integration of new equipment have improved plant performance. In June 2013, Yukon Zinc announced that it reduced production at Wolverine by 40% and its workforce by 30% in an effort to reduce costs. Yukon Zinc has committed to review the project economics later this year and evaluate the possibility of resuming full production.

1 Reported production relates to the amount of metal sales that are subject to our royalty interests for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, as reported to us by the operators of the mines.

2 The royalty rate is 75% until 910,000 payable ounces of gold have been produced – 50% thereafter. There have been approximately 167,000 cumulative payable ounces produced as of June 30, 2013. Gold is produced as a by-product of copper.

3 Revenues consist of provisional payments for concentrates produced during the current period and final settlements for prior production periods.

4 The Company’s royalty is subject to a 2.0 million ounce cap on gold production. There have been approximately 1.1 million ounces of cumulative production, as of June 30, 2013. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): $0.00 to $299.99 – 1.0%; $300 to $324.99 – 1.50%; $325 to $349.99 – 2.0%; $350 to $374.99 – 3.0%; $375 to $399.99 – 4.0%; $400 or higher – 5.0%.

5 Royalty percentages: GSR1 and GSR2 – 0.40 to 5.0% (sliding-scale); GSR3 – 0.71%; NVR1 – 0.39%.

6 NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): $0.00 to $350 – 1.0%; above $350 – 1.5%.

7 Gold royalty rate is based on the price of silver per ounce. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of silver per ounce – royalty rate): Below $5.00 – 0.0%; $5.00 to $7.50 – 3.778%; >$7.50 – 9.445%.

8 “Other” includes all of the Company’s non-principal producing royalties for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Individually, no royalty included within “Other” contributed greater than 5% of our total royalty revenue for any of the periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company computes and discloses Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges, income tax expense, interest and other expense, and any impairment of mining assets, less non-controlling interests in operating income of consolidated subsidiaries, interest and other income, and any royalty portfolio restructuring gains or losses. Other companies may define and calculate this measure differently. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the performance of our royalty portfolio. Adjusted EBITDA identifies the cash generated in a given period that will be available to fund the Company's future operations, growth opportunities, shareholder dividends and to service the Company's debt obligations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
