Equinox Gold Delivers Transformational Year with Strategic Merger, Record Production and Revenue, Portfolio Optimization, More than US$1.1 Billion in Debt Reduction, and Announces Inaugural Dividend

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX:EQX, NYSE:EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report its unaudited financial and operating results for the three months ("Q4") and year ("Full Year") ended December 31, 2025. These results are preliminary and could change based on final audited results. Equinox Gold's 2025 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for Q4 and Full Year 2025 will be released later this month. All financial figures are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Darren Hall, CEO of Equinox Gold, commented: "2025 marked an important year of progress for Equinox Gold. The merger with Calibre created a tier one North American focused gold producer anchored by two new long-life Canadian mines. The year required a reset in expectations, particularly with ramp-up challenges at Greenstone. Many of those issues have been successfully addressed, along side the delivery of first gold and commercial production at Valentine ahead of schedule, portfolio optimization through asset divestments, and materially transforming the balance sheet with more than $1.1 billion in debt reduction since Q2 2025.

"During the fourth quarter, key operational improvements began to translate into sustainable results, delivering record Q4 gold production of 247,024 ounces. At Greenstone, higher mining and milling rates drove a meaningful increase in production to more than 70,000 ounces of gold, up 29% from the prior quarter. At Valentine, commissioning progressed ahead of plan, with the declaration of commercial production in November and contribution of more than 23,000 ounces of gold in Q4.

"As we enter 2026, our priorities are clear: operate safely and responsibly, generate free cash flow, reduce debt and continue unlocking the value of our portfolio. With gold prices strong and the expectation of producing 700,000 to 800,000 ounces of gold in 2026, we expect cash flow to eliminate the remaining debt in 2026. The strengthened balance sheet provides greater flexibility to self-fund 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of potential annual organic growth over the next five years from the Phase 2 expansion at Valentine, the Castle Mountain expansion, and optionality at Los Filos.

"As free cash flow continues to grow, so do opportunities to return capital to shareholders. Earlier today, we announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend and, subject to TSX approval, the implementation of a share buy back program, reflecting our confidence in the Company's financial position and long-term outlook, and our commitment to delivering meaningful, long-term value for our shareholders.

"Execution, growth, discipline and transparency will drive shareholder value. Equinox Gold is focused on delivering sustainable superior value for our shareholders and long-term benefits for our community partners as a leading gold producer."

APPENDIX

2025 REPORTING OVERVIEWEquinox Gold completed a number of transactions during 2025 that affect the way operating and financial results have been reported in the Financial Statements and related MD&A.

The merger with Calibre Mining was completed on June 17, 2025. While production and associated costs from these assets (the "Calibre Assets") is attributable to Equinox Gold only from June 17, 2025, Equinox Gold's production and cost guidance for 2025 includes production and costs from the Calibre Assets from January 1, 2025 to reflect the potential of the expanded portfolio.

On October 1, 2025, Equinox Gold completed the sale of the Pan Mine and other Nevada assets for total consideration of $136.5 million, comprising $98.4 million in cash, of which $10.3 million was included in trade and other receivables at December 31, 2025, an $8.6 million promissory note that was fully repaid in January 2026, and equity consideration with a fair value of $29.5 million in the form of Minera Alamos common shares (TSXV:MAI). Equinox Gold sold its Minera Alamos common shares in February 2026 for gross proceeds of $41.1 million.

On December 14, 2025, Equinox Gold announced an agreement to sell its operating mines in Brazil ("Brazil Operations"), for $900 million in cash on closing of the transaction and up to $115 million in a production-linked contingent payment one year from closing ("Brazil Sale Transaction"). As such, in the Financial Statements and MD&A and in the Consolidated Operational and Financial Highlights table below, Brazil Operations were reported as assets held for sale, their associated liabilities as liabilities held for sale, and the results from their operations as "Discontinued Operations", separately from "Continuing Operations" which comprise Greenstone, Valentine, Mesquite, Castle Mountain, Los Filos and Nicaragua Operations. The Brazil Sale Transaction closed on January 23, 2026. On closing of the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company received cash consideration of $891.1 million, which is subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments.
