Star Metro - Vox Royalty Announces Q2 2025 Financial Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Vox has delivered another strong quarter marked by positive cash flow, an increase in comparative quarter royalty receipts, the accretive acquisition of a producing copper-gold royalty at Kanmantoo, inclusion in the Russell 2000^® and Russell 3000^® indexes, and considerable organic asset developments. The growth potential embedded in our diversified and growing portfolio are underscored by continued operator developments across key royalty-linked projects. These developments include; a major expansion at Binduli North, initial construction earthworks at Sulphur Springs, and a development decision at Horseshoe Lights. We expect revenue and operating income to increase in the second half of the year, primarily driven by production increases across many of our gold royalty assets and a modest commodity price increase effect on the Wonmunna iron ore royalty. Alongside our embedded growth, the business maintains over $13 million in cash and receivables at quarter-end. Vox is well positioned to execute on its disciplined growth strategy with a pipeline of royalty acquisition opportunities that continues to build very positively."

2025 Outlook and Revenue Guidance Reiterated

After increasing revenue guidance in Q1, Vox reiterates 2025 royalty revenue guidance in the range of $13 million to $15 million.

The Company anticipates that royalty revenue will increase over the second half of 2025 with key growth drivers noted below:

• The Kanmantoo royalty, which was acquired on May 15, 2025, with relatively consistent quarterly revenue anticipated in Q3 and Q4 2025.

• The Janet Ivy royalty, which has received recent regulatory approval for a new mining proposal, with a 40% increase in crushing and grinding capacity up to 7Mtpa, and a life-of-mine plan of up to 8Mtpa over approximately nine years.

• The Wonmunna royalty, which is expected to return to normal shipping rates and has seen a stabilization in iron ore price post Q1 2025.

• The Castle Hill royalty, given the continued ramp up of production at Rayjax and Castle Hill with revenue potentially increasing quarter-over-quarter for the duration of this calendar year.

• The Bulong royalty, given the continued ramp up of production with revenue potentially increasing quarter-over-quarter for the duration of this calendar year following the acquisition of the Lakewood mill by Black Cat in April 2025.

Royalty revenue from iron ore has been slightly less than anticipated in the first half of 2025 as shipments have tracked behind mining rates at Wonmunna. The Company expects some recovery in the shipping rates alongside a slight recovery in iron ore prices to increase royalty receipts in the second half of the year. Notwithstanding the recovery in iron ore prices, the portfolio revenue mix continues to trend toward gold and copper as expected.

Management's 2025 outlook on royalty revenue is based on publicly available information of the owners or operators of projects on which the Company has a royalty interest and which management believes to be reliable. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, management seeks to obtain internal forecasts from the owners or operators, if available, or generates internal best estimates based on the information available.
