Star Metro - Vox Royalty Reports Record Q1 2026 Results, Increases 2026 Guidance and Declares Quarterly Dividend

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are thrilled to share exceptional Q1 2026 results with our shareholders, which include record quarterly receipts, operating cash flows and net income. We are also pleased to announce an increase in 2026 receipts guidance as a result of both higher expected production volumes and realized margins. We have increased 2026 receipts guidance to a range of $32M - $37M. Our significant net income was driven by higher receipts during the period and a revaluation gain of $16.5 million which comes as a result of buying quality assets at disciplined prices that have increased in value since their acquisition. We remain focused on consistently delivering exceptional per-share returns for our shareholders and these results are a reflection of significant progress in that regard. We look forward to elaborating on these results and our strategy in tomorrow's virtual Investor Day webinar."

Financial Highlights - Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025

• Record net income of $24.5 million or $0.36/share (Q1 2025: net loss of $0.4 million or $0.01/share).

  • Net income for the period includes a revaluation gain of $16.5 million on the Global Gold Portfolio that Vox acquired in September 2025. The revaluation gain is primarily a result of a reforecasting of the estimated realized margin to be earned on the Global Gold portfolio, acquired in September 2025, for the remaining expected life of the assets in the portfolio.

• Record quarterly royalty and net precious metal receipts¹ of $16.0 million (Q1 2025: $2.7 million).

  • $13.8 million in net precious metal income (Q1 2025: $nil). The Company realized average net precious metal income margins of $179.41/oz¹ on 77,293 ounces delivered for the period.

  • $2.2 million from royalty revenue (Q1 2025: $2.7 million).

• Record gross profit generated of $11.6 million (Q1 2025: $1.9 million).

• Record income from operations of $7.1 million (Q1 2025: $0.1 million).

• Commodity mix breakdown: 92% gold and 8% other (predominantly copper and iron ore).

• Record operating cash flows of $15.2 million (Q1 2025: $1.0 million).

• Record Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $12.7 million or $0.18/share (Q1 2025: $1 million or $0.02/share).

2026 Guidance Increase

Following strong Q1 2026 results, the Company has increased its 2026 guidance and now estimates royalty and net precious metal receipts¹ to total between $32 million and $37 million, previous guidance range was $28 million to $32 million. The Company anticipates that a greater proportion of royalty and net precious metal receipts¹ for 2026 will be received in the first half of 2026 due to more gold deliveries being received in the first and second quarters. The Company expects total gold deliveries of 230,000 ounces for 2026, of which 77,293 ounces were delivered in Q1 2026. Further detail on the 2026 guidance outlook will be released in Vox's Investor Day materials on May 14, 2026.

Key growth assets for the Company for 2026 include, based primarily on public disclosure of third-party operators:

• The Global Gold Portfolio, with a full year of gold metal deliveries over the producing assets acquired on September 26, 2025.

• The Kanmantoo copper royalty, which was acquired on May 15, 2025, with relatively consistent quarterly revenue anticipated for 2026 guidance of 12,750t - 14,000t copper production (vs. 11,315t copper production in 2025).

• The Binduli North gold mine in Western Australia, where, in July 2025, Norton secured regulatory approval for a major expansion, boosting crushing and grinding capacity by 40% from 5Mtpa to 7Mtpa and setting a life-of-mine plan up to 8Mtpa over approximately 9 years.

• Potential first revenue from the Mt Ida royalty, Horseshoe Lights royalty, Castle Hill milestone payment and Federation royalties.

Management's 2026 outlook on royalty and net precious metal receipts¹ is based primarily on publicly available information of the owners or operators of projects on which the Company has a royalty, stream or other 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.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.015 per common share, to be paid on July 14, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2026.

For shareholders residing in Canada, the dividend will be paid in Canadian dollars based on the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on June 30, 2026. The dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend is subject to customary Canadian withholding tax for shareholders that are not resident in Canada.

Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts

Royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net precious metal income related to Vox's offtake agreements is not IFRS 15 revenue and therefore would not be combined with royalty revenue under IFRS Accounting Standards. Income from net precious metal receipts represents the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of refined gold to a third party less the purchase price paid to the mining operator for the refined gold and sales commissions, plus royalty revenue recognized during the period. Management uses the royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as royalty revenue, investors may use the royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts to evaluate the results of the underlying business. Management believes that the royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts is a useful measure of the Company performance because it adjusts for items which management believes reflect the Company's core operating results from period to period. Royalty revenue and net precious metal receipts is intended to provide additional information to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Average net precious metal income per ounce

Average net precious metal income per ounceis a non-GAAP financial metric, which is defined as net precious metal income related to Vox's offtake agreements, representing the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of refined gold to a third party less the purchase price paid to the mining operator for the refined gold and sales commissions, divided by the number of gold ounces sold during the period. Management uses the non-GAAP financial metric of average net precious metal income per ounce to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as revenue, investors may use average net precious metal income per ounce to evaluate the results of the underlying business. Management believes that average net precious metal income per ounce is a useful measure of the Company performance because it adjusts for items which management believes reflect the Company's core operating results from period to period. Average net precious metal income per ounce is intended to provide additional information to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial measures, which excludes the following from net income and net income per share:

• income tax expense;

• interest and finance expenses;

• depletion on royalties and depreciation-like charges;

• amortization;

• impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses;

• gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets; and

• revaluation of streams and other interests.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are valuable indicators of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund acquisitions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes, whereby adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or ''multiple'' that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

In addition to excluding income tax expense, interest and finance costs, depletion on royalties and depreciation-like charges, and amortization, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share also remove the effect of impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets, and revaluation of streams and other interests. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and our shareholders to better understand our ability to generate liquidity from operating cash flow, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share differently. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share to net income and net income per share, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.
