Positive Points OR Royalties Inc (NYSE:OR) achieved record annual revenues of $277.4 million, record operating cash flow of $246 million, and record earnings of $1.10 per share in 2025. The company ended 2025 completely debt-free with $142.1 million in cash, having paid off its credit facility in the third quarter. OR Royalties declared and paid its 45th consecutive quarterly dividend, marking its inclusion in the S&P/TSX Dividend Aristocrats Index. The company successfully acquired a 1.5% NSR royalty at Buenaventura's San Gabriel mine, adding a new producing asset to its portfolio.
OR Royalties expects a 50% growth in GEOs by 2030, driven by brownfield expansions and new greenfield projects, all of which are fully funded. Negative Points The company's 2026 GEO delivery guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 GEOs represents only marginal growth over 2025. OR Royalties faced challenges with the CSA mine, where production slowed in the latter half of 2025 due to ownership transition. The company encountered internal red lines regarding structural security and contract terms, limiting its ability to capitalize on some opportunities. Mantos Blancos mine showed variability in silver grades, impacting the consistency of silver deliveries.
The 2030 GEO guidance came in below some analysts' expectations, with certain projects like Cascabel and Upper Beaver not included in the outlook. Story Continues Q & A Highlights Q: How should we think about OR Royalties' quarter-over-quarter performance in 2026, assuming constant gold and silver pricing? A: Jason Attew, CEO, explained that their methodology for 2026 is consistent with past years, using a consensus price deck of 73:1 for gold to silver. If the silver price remains at 64:1, it could increase their GEOs by 4,000 to 5,000 over the year. They do not provide quarter-over-quarter guidance but will update analysts as quarters are reported.
Q: Are there any mine ramp-ups or new developments expected in the first or second half of 2026? A: Jason Attew noted that apart from disclosed information, there are no significant ramp-ups expected. Mantos Blancos is the biggest contributor to silver variability, and they expect stable throughput but some variability in silver grades. Q: Are there opportunities to double down on assets OR Royalties already owns, similar to the Namdini transaction? A: Jason Attew confirmed that there are significant opportunities, including assets they are familiar with and new ones. They focus on assets in Canada, the US, and Australia, and are actively looking at opportunities ranging from $100 million to $1 billion.
Q: What is the expected contribution of Cascabel, Eagle, and Upper Beaver to GEOs in 2031 and beyond? Does the 2030 guidance include minimum payments from Cascabel? A: Jason Attew confirmed that the 2030 guidance includes minimum payments from Cascabel. The potential GEOs from these assets could add 20,000 to 30,000 gold equivalent ounces in aggregate. Q: What assumptions were made for Mantos Blancos in the 2030 guidance, given the reconciliation issues? A: Jason Attew stated that the 2030 guidance assumes Mantos Blancos remains flat compared to 2025 and 2026 expectations. For the complete t
