Record cash margin of $49.3 million

Record operating cash flows from continuing operations of $51.1 million

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the "Corporation" or "Osisko") (OR: TSX & NYSE) today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Amounts presented are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted.

Q3 2022 Financial Highlights

Deconsolidation of Osisko Development Corp. ("Osisko Development") as of September 30, 2022 and presentation of its results as discontinued operations on the statements of loss and the statements of cash flows;
23,850 GEOs¹ earned (Q3 2021 – 20,032 GEOs);
Revenues of $53.7 million (Q3 2021 – $50.0 million);
Cash flows generated by operating activities from continuing operations of $51.1 million (Q3 2021 – $44.1 million);
Cash margin² of $49.3 million or 92% (Q3 2021 – 93%);
Net earnings from continuing operations of $28.0 million, or $0.15 per share (Q3 2021 – $25.6 million or $0.15 per basic share);
Adjusted earnings² of $25.8 million, or $0.14 per basic share (Q3 2021 – $23.3 million, $0.14 per basic share).

Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: "The business case for Osisko has never been stronger. As outlined in our Q3 preliminary deliveries release, we experienced another quarter of record deliveries, revenues and cash margin as we continue to anticipate further increases from our core assets. We are also seeing an increasingly receptive market for royalty and streaming transactions and are well positioned having kept a strong balance sheet for this part of the cycle. We will, however, remain disciplined in capital allocation, finding the right balance between growth and returning capital to investors. The deconsolidation of Osisko Development is a further meaningful step in the strategic realignment of Osisko as a pure-play royalty and streaming business."

Other Highlights

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $300.5 million, convertible debentures maturing on December 31, 2022 with a nominal value of $300.0 million and a $550.0 million completely undrawn revolving credit facility;

Deconsolidation of Osisko Development and Discontinued Operations

Effective on September 30, 2022, following certain changes made to the Corporation's investment agreement with Osisko Development, the Corporation ceased to consolidate the financials of Osisko Development as management determined that it was no longer in a position of control over Osisko Development. Immediately thereafter, management determined it was able to exert significant influence on Osisko Development and subsequently accounted for its investment as an associate under the equity method.

On September 30, 2022, the Corporation derecognized the assets and liabilities of Osisko Development from its consolidated balance sheet, recorded its interest in Osisko Development at fair value as an investment in an associate at $207.0 million, recognized royalty and stream interests on assets held by Osisko Development of $122.1 million (these assets were previously eliminated on consolidation prior to the loss of control) and recognized a net non-cash loss on deconsolidation of $140.9 million. Osisko Development's results of operations and cash flows were consolidated into the Corporation's financial statements up to September 30, 2022 and are presented under discontinued operations in the statements of loss and the statements of cash flows.

The continuing operations presented in the financial statements refer to the royalty, stream and other interest business segment, which corresponds to the activities of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries.

The discontinued operations presented in the financial statements refer to the deemed disposal of the mining exploration, evaluation and development business segment, which corresponds to the activities of Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Notes:

(1) Gold Equivalent Ounces

GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces earned by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements are converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period.

(2) Non-IFRS Measures

The Corporation has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including (i) cash margin (in dollars and in percentage), (ii) adjusted earnings (loss) and (iii) adjusted earnings (loss) per share. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. As Osisko's operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Corporation presents cash margins and adjusted earnings as it believes that certain investors use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, to evaluate the Corporation's performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently.

Cash Margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues)

Cash margin (in dollars) represents revenues from continuing operations less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) represents the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues from continuing operations.
