Royal Gold Reports a 26% Revenue Increase in Its Third Fiscal Quarter

27.04.2016  |  Business Wire

Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD; TSX: RGL) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company”) reports results for its third quarter of fiscal 2016 (“third quarter”), including total revenue of $93.5 million, up 26% from $74.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in stream revenue from newly acquired streams at Pueblo Viejo, Wassa and Prestea, and Andacollo.

Third Quarter Highlights Compared with the Year-ago Quarter:

  • Revenue of $93.5 million, an increase of 26%
  • Volume of 79,025 Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”1), an increase of 30%
  • Record quarterly dividends paid of $15 million, or $0.23 per share
  • After previously announced impairment charges, net loss was ($1.04) per share and adjusted net income2 was $0.29 per share, excluding the impairment
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 of $69.3 million, an increase of 20%

“Our new streams at Andacollo, Pueblo Viejo, Wassa and Prestea are delivering significant growth and contributed to a 27% increase in operating cash flow over the December quarter,” commented Tony Jensen, President and CEO. “As expected, we are now receiving deliveries of silver in addition to gold from Pueblo Viejo, further enhancing our returns from this quality property. Looking forward, we anticipate production from Rainy River and Cortez Crossroads will provide additional growth and portfolio diversification in the near future.”

Third quarter revenue included $63.4 million from the stream segment and $30.1 million from the royalty segment, at an average gold price of $1,183 per ounce. Stream segment gold purchases totaled approximately 40,800 ounces of gold and sales were approximately 54,300 ounces of gold. The Company had approximately 12,200 ounces of gold and 210,000 ounces of silver in inventory at March 31, 2016, as previously announced, compared to 25,700 ounces of gold at December 31, 2015.

Cost of sales was $17.9 million for the third quarter, compared to $10.5 million a year ago. The increase is primarily attributable to stream production at Pueblo Viejo, Wassa and Prestea, and Andacollo. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and is the result of the Company’s purchase of gold and silver for a cash payment.

General and administrative expenses increased to $7.7 million for the third quarter, up from $5.5 million a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock based compensation of approximately $1.5 million.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased to $38.2 million for the third quarter, up from $24.8 million a year ago. The increase was primarily attributable to new production from the recently acquired streams at Pueblo Viejo, Andacollo, Wassa and Prestea.

Interest and other income increased to $3.1 million for the third quarter, up from $0.4 million a year ago, due to a change in fair value and gains on the sale of certain equity positions we held.

Interest and other expense increased to $8.8 million for the third quarter, up from $6.4 million a year ago, primarily due to the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. The Company had $300 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at the end of the third quarter, and did not have any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility a year ago.

We recognized an income tax benefit totaling $8.3 million compared with income tax expense of $1.0 million in the year ago quarter. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 10.6% in the current period, compared with 4.0% in the year ago quarter. The effective tax rate was impacted by the impairment charge in the quarter and appreciation of the Canadian dollar.

Royal Gold reported a net loss attributable to Royal Gold stockholders of ($67.7) million, or ($1.04) per share for the third quarter, as compared to net income attributable to Royal Gold stockholders of $25.0 million, or $0.38 per share, for the prior year quarter. The decrease in reported net income was primarily attributable to previously disclosed impairments of royalty and stream interests and royalty receivables collectively totaling $99.0 million, the effect of which was $1.33 per share, after taxes in the third quarter. Excluding the after-tax effect of the impairments of royalty and stream interests and royalty receivables, adjusted net income attributable to Royal Gold stockholders would have been $18.9 million, or $0.29 per share for the third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $69.3 million ($1.06 per basic share), representing 74% of revenue, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $57.7 million ($0.89 per basic share), or 78% of revenue, for the year-ago quarter.

On March 16, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to revise its revolving credit agreement to extend the scheduled maturity date from January 29, 2019 to March 16, 2021. At March 31, 2016, working capital totaled $151.0 million. When combined with $350 million of available liquidity under our revolving credit facility, total liquidity at March 31, 2016 was approximately $500.0 million. Cash flow from operations was $66.1 million for the third quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe that these measures are used by and are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to special and noncore items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and capital structure. We have provided reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measures and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net (loss) 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. 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. On the next page is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income

Management of the Company uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results relating to receipt of revenue from its royalty interests and purchase and sale of gold from its streaming interests by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at Company’s statutory effective tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Royal Gold stockholders is reconciled to adjusted net income (loss) as follows:
