Royal Gold Provides Update on its Fiscal 2018 Second Quarter

09.01.2018  |  Business Wire

Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ:RGLD) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG sold approximately 62,000 gold equivalent ounces comprised of approximately 52,000 gold ounces, 470,000 silver ounces and 800 tonnes of copper related to its streaming agreements during its fiscal 2018 second quarter ended December 31, 2017 (“second quarter”). The Company had approximately 14,000 gold ounces, 273,000 silver ounces and 400 tonnes of copper in inventory at December 31, 2017.

RGLD Gold AG’s average realized gold, silver and copper prices were $1,272 per ounce, $16.79 per ounce, and $6,746 per tonne, respectively, compared to $1,287, $16.77, and $6,562 in the prior quarter, respectively. Cost of sales was approximately $319 per gold equivalent ounce for the second quarter using the quarterly average silver-gold ratio of approximately 76 to 1 and gold-copper ratio of approximately 0.19 tonnes per ounce, compared to $334 per gold equivalent ounce in the prior quarter. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and is the result of the Company’s purchase of gold, silver or copper for cash payments at a set contractual price, or a percentage of the prevailing market price of gold, silver or copper when purchased.

Also during the second quarter, Royal Gold repaid $50 million of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2017, there was $150 million outstanding on the revolver, resulting in $850 million available under the Company’s credit facility.

On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was signed into law in the United States. As a United States domiciled company, we expect that the recently enacted tax reform will have a positive long-term impact on Royal Gold’s future financial results through the reduction in the corporate tax rate and a reduction in the future taxation of foreign subsidiaries. However, we are required to reassess certain balance sheet assets and liabilities and expect to recognize as-yet undetermined financial statement impacts in our second quarter results.

Royal Gold’s second quarter results will be released before the market opens for trading on Thursday, February 8, 2018, followed by a conference call that day at noon Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Mountain Time). The call will be webcast and archived on the Company’s website for a limited time.
