Guidance for 2026 and 5-Year Outlook

2026 Guidance

OR Royalties expects GEOs earned to range between 80,000 to 90,000 in 2026 at an average cash margin of approximately 97%. For the 2026 guidance, deliveries of silver, copper, and cash royalties were converted to GEOs using commodity prices based on February 2026 consensus commodity prices and a gold/silver price ratio of 73:1.

The 2026 guidance assumes ramp-ups at both the Dalgaranga and San Gabriel mines, as well as first payments received under those gross revenue and NSR royalties from Ramelius Resources Ltd. and Buenaventura, respectively. The guidance also assumes increased payments associated with GEOs earned from the Company's 2.0% NSR royalty covering Cardinal Namdini Mining Ltd.'s Namdini mine. In addition, the guidance assumes relatively consistent year-over-year GEO deliveries from Capstone Copper Corp.'s Mantos Blancos mine. Finally, the guidance assumes conservative estimates of GEOs expected to be earned from Harmony Gold Mining Ltd.'s ("Harmony") CSA mine, as Harmony's ownership transition continues and the Harmony team continues to condition the asset for optimized performance over the long-term.

OR Royalties' 2026 guidance on royalty and stream interests is largely based on publicly available forecasts from its operating partners. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, OR Royalties obtains internal forecasts from the producers or uses management's best estimate.

5-Year Outlook

OR Royalties expects its portfolio to generate between 120,000 and 135,000 GEOs in 2030. The outlook assumes the commencement of production at Gold Fields' Windfall, South32 Limited's Hermosa/Taylor Osisko Development Corp.'s Cariboo, Solidus Resources LLC's Spring Valley, United Gold's Amulsar and Orla Mining Ltd.'s South Railroad projects, respectively. It also assumes increased production from certain other operators that are advancing expansions including Alamos Gold Inc.'s Island Gold District Expansion, amongst others. The 5-year outlook assumes there will be no GEO contribution from the Eagle Gold mine, which remains in receivership.

Beyond this growth profile, OR Royalties owns several other growth assets, which have not been factored into the 5-year outlook, as their respective development timelines are either longer, or difficult to reasonably forecast at this time. As these operators provide additional clarity on these respective assets, OR Royalties will seek to include them in future long-term outlooks.

The 5-year outlook is based on internal judgements of publicly available forecasts and other disclosures by the third-party owners and operators of the Company's assets and could differ materially from actual results. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, OR Royalties obtains internal forecasts from the operators or uses management's best estimate. The commodity price assumptions that were used in the 5-year outlook are based on current long-term consensus and a gold/silver price ratio of 82:1.

This 5-year outlook replaces the 5-year outlook previously released in February 2025, the latter of which should be considered as withdrawn. Investors should not use the current 5-year outlook to extrapolate forecast results to any year within the 5-year period (2026-2030).

Management Commentary

Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: "2025 was a landmark year for OR Royalties, delivering a 'triple crown' of records in revenues, cash flow, and earnings. We closed the year debt-free, providing the Company with the financial flexibility to add to our already peer-leading growth profile. Our 2026 guidance reflects the immediate benefit of production ramp-ups at Namdini, Dalgaranga, and San Gabriel, all of which serve to offset ongoing transitional impacts at CSA. Our long-term thesis remains best-in-class: with fully-financed mine expansions and new builds coming online starting in 2027, we are positioned to deliver 50% GEO growth by 2030."

Notes:

(1)   Gold Equivalent OuncesGEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver ounces and copper tonnes earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Cash royalties, other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

(2)   Non-IFRS MeasuresCash Margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues)

Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by OR Royalties as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained by dividing the cash margin (in dollars) by the revenues.

Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties' ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate OR Royalties' performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of the cash margin (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below:

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by OR Royalties by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversals related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairments of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of assets, gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of OR Royalties as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning ...
