OSISKO REPORTS Q1 2023 RESULTS

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. today released its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Amounts presented are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted.

Highlights -- first quarter of 2023

  • 23,111 GEOs (gold equivalent ounces) earned, an increase of 27 per cent over the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2022 -- 18,251);
  • Revenues from royalties and streams of $59.6-million (Q1 2022 -- $50.7-million);
  • Cash flows generated by operating activities of $45.5-million (Q1 2022 -- $40.5-million);
  • Cash margin of $55.5-million or 93 per cent (Q1 2022 -- $47.5-million or 94 per cent);
  • Net earnings of $20.8-million, 11 cents per basic share (Q1 2022 -- $16.8-million, 10 cents per basic share);
  • Adjusted earnings of $32.6-million, 18 cents per basic share (Q1 2022 -- $24.8-million, 15 cents per basic share);
  • Repayment of $15.0-million under the revolving credit facility;
  • Increase in the cash balance to $119.1-million as at March 31, 2023; and
  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of 5.5 cents per common share paid on April 14, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2023.

Sandeep Singh, president and chief executive officer of Osisko, commented: "We had a good start to 2023 and expect growth in deliveries over the year as we reap the benefits of ramp-ups at some of our core assets, in addition to the anticipated near-term closing of the CSA transaction, positioning Osisko for another record year.

"The catalysts in our portfolio continue to intensify. Agnico Eagle's consolidation of the Canadian Malartic mine provides multiple avenues for further production upside as it studies ways to maximize mill throughput. Further, the partnership between Gold Fields and Osisko Mining on the Windfall project is a tremendous outcome that derisks an important asset in our portfolio. We congratulate the Osisko Mining team on a great result. More globally, our partners continue to unlock significant value across our shared asset base with an average of over 1.1 million meters drilled per year over the past six years. This value is daylighting itself across the entire portfolio highlighting the free upside embedded within our asset base."

Subsequent to March 31, 2023

Declaration of a quarterly dividend of six cents per common share (an increase of 9.1 per cent) payable on July 14, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2023.
