Royal Gold Reports Fourth Quarter 2019 and Fiscal Year Results

DENVER--()--Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company,” “we” or “our”) reports fiscal year 2019 net income of $93.8 million, or $1.43 per basic share, on revenue of $423.1 million and operating cash flow of $253.2 million.

Summary of Fiscal 2019 Accomplishments

  • Strong financial performance with revenue of $423.1 million, operating cash flow of $253.2 million and earnings of $93.8 million
  • Robust operating volume of 335,000 GEOs1
  • Strengthened the balance sheet and repaid $370 million of convertible notes
  • Maintained available liquidity of approximately $900 million at June 30, 2019
  • Added a high-quality and long-life silver stream on the Khoemacau Project
  • Increased dividends paid to $67.5 million

Fiscal 2019 was another successful year for Royal Gold in terms of operating and financial performance, the achievement of several important strategic objectives, and the delivery of a total return to shareholders of 11.7%,” commented Tony Jensen, President and CEO. “Our underlying portfolio performed well, which allowed us to further strengthen the balance sheet and continue our commitment to paying a growing and sustainable dividend. We successfully resolved the long-running royalty calculation dispute on the world-class Voisey’s Bay operation, and brought the exciting new Khoemacau development project into our portfolio.

Recent Developments

Closing of Khoemacau Copper Silver Project Financing

On July 18, 2019, Cupric Canyon Capital LP (“Cupric”), the majority owner of Khoemacau Copper Mining (Pty.) Limited (“KCM”), announced that it closed the project financing for the development of the Khoemacau Copper Silver Project (“Khoemacau”) in Botswana. In addition to the previously announced silver stream and subordinated debt facility provided by Royal Gold’s wholly owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG, and the senior secured debt facility from RK Mine Finance, Cupric announced that it added $85 million of equity to the project financing, bringing the total available funding to $650 million. The equity investment was provided from contributions of $70 million by Resource Capital Fund VII LP and $15 million from funds advised by Global Natural Resource Investments.

The project financing will be used to fund development of the Khoemacau Starter Project, which Cupric expects to produce approximately 62,000 tonnes of copper and 1.9 million ounces of silver per year over a 21-year mine life, as well as provide funding to advance work for a potential project expansion, and retirement of the $105 million pre-construction bridge facility.

Cupric also reported that it held an official groundbreaking ceremony on June 28 attended by the President of Botswana, His Excellency Dr. Mokgweetsi Masisi, during which President Masisi recognized the importance of Khoemacau to the economy of Botswana. As of July 18, Cupric reported that more than 700 people work at site, approximately 7.8% of the project capital cost (approximately $31 million) has been spent on early construction activity since the beginning of 2019, and 57% of the capital costs have been committed. This activity includes construction of the boxcuts for underground access, roads, a water pipeline and preparation for surface infrastructure.

Additionally, Cupric reported that KCM signed a 5-year, $560 million underground mining contract with Barminco, a subsidiary of international mining services group Ausdrill Limited. Barminco is proceeding with mobilization and readiness to commence work on the underground mine in December 2019.

Further Strengthening of Balance Sheet

The Royal Gold balance sheet continued to strengthen during the fiscal year. As of June 30, 2019, total debt was $214.6 million, a reduction of $136.5 million, and cash on hand increased by $30.7 million to $119.5 million, when compared to the prior fiscal year.

On June 17, 2019, the Company repaid $370 million of outstanding principal plus accrued interest on its 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”), using cash and $220 million drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Notes provided a key source of low-cost capital that helped finance growth in the Company’s portfolio since the initial issue in June 2012.

On June 3, 2019, the Company amended the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) to extend the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility for an additional 2 years from June 2, 2022 to June 3, 2024, and reduce certain interest rates and fees payable. The Revolving Credit Facility is a strategic source of capital for the Company, as borrowings may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty. Extending maturity and lowering costs will provide the Company continued flexibility for financing potential future business development opportunities.

Mount Milligan

During the quarter, Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) reported that it began accessing water from newly permitted water sources in April, and that increased water availability from the spring melt allowed milling operations to return to targeted full capacity in early May. Mill throughput for the fourth quarter averaged 53,559 tonnes per calendar day, with average throughput of 60,576 tonnes per calendar day during June.

Centerra reported that weather conditions around the Mount Milligan mine, and elsewhere in British Columbia, continue to be exceptionally hot and dry, which has affected precipitation levels as well as water flows, and that water captured from the 2019 spring melt runoff was less than anticipated. Centerra reported that it continues to explore for additional groundwater sources but estimates that if additional sources are not available, and/or dry weather conditions persist in the second half of calendar 2019, it may need to take steps to manage production in the first calendar quarter of 2020 to conserve water resources until the 2020 spring melt.

Despite the dry conditions, Centerra reaffirmed Mount Milligan’s production guidance for the full 2019 calendar year, consisting of 155,000 to 175,000 ounces of payable gold production and 65 to 75 million pounds of payable copper production, and reported that it is continuing to work on a long-term plan to supply water to Mount Milligan after November 2021 and for the remaining mine life.

Rainy River

Operating performance at the Rainy River mine, owned and operated by New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”), continued to improve, and New Gold reported that the mill has achieved throughput, recovery and availability targets, with production of 66,013 ounces of gold and 66,157 ounces of silver for the quarter. New Gold reported that ore mined during the quarter included planned lower grades as operations continued the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the mine plan, and that it expects milled grades to be lower in the second half of the calendar year as Phase 1 ore is depleted.

New Gold reported that a 15-hole strategic exploration drilling program started in the quarter to test near-mine targets in the Intrepid North area. The drilling program is expected to conclude in the third calendar quarter of 2019. New Gold also reported that it is continuing to advance a comprehensive mine optimization study to increase cash flow generation with the expectation that an updated life of mine plan will be completed in the fourth calendar quarter.

New Gold expects that full year calendar 2019 production will meet annual guidance of between 250,000 and 275,000 gold equivalent ounces.

Peñasquito

On April 29, 2019, Newmont Goldcorp Corporation (“Newmont Goldcorp”) reported a temporary suspension of operations at Peñasquito due to a blockade by a trucking contractor and certain community leaders. Newmont Goldcorp subsequently reported on June 17, 2019 that dialogue with the blockade leaders had started, operations were beginning, and concentrate shipments from the mine and deliveries to the mine resumed. Newmont Goldcorp reported that operations ramped back up in June and concentrate inventory levels are now back to normal. This suspension resulted in significantly lower sales from Peñasquito during the quarter, yielding $1.1 million in royalty revenue compared to $5.4 million in the prior year period.

Newmont Goldcorp expects that grades for gold, silver and lead will improve during the last half of calendar 2019, zinc grades will remain unchanged, and production from Peñasquito will be 165,000 ounces of gold, 25 million ounces of silver, 180 million pounds of lead, and 245 million pounds of zinc for the period April 18 through December 31, 2019.

TriStar Royalty

On May 28, 2019, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with TriStar Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “TriStar”) for an option to acquire a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the Castelo de Sonhos Gold Project (“CDS”) owned by TriStar for an up-front investment of $500,000, and a further investment of $5.0 million to $8.0 million to be determined by reference to mineralized material at CDS if and when the option is exercised. On August 2, 2019, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a further agreement with TriStar to acquire up to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty on CDS for an investment of up to $7.25 million. Aggregate funds invested by the Company will be used by TriStar primarily to advance CDS to the feasibility stage, including advancing permitting activities. A Preliminary Economic Assessment for CDS was prepared by TriStar in 2018 and was based on a total of 2.0 million ounces of mineralized material at an average grade of approximately 1.0 gram per tonne.

Peak Gold Project

The Company announced in the second fiscal quarter that it would seek indications of value for its 40% indirect interest in the Peak Gold Project (“Peak Gold”) near Tok, Alaska, in conjunction with the joint venture partner, Contango Ore, Inc. While indications of interest were received, they did not meet the strategic or value expectations of the joint venture partners. In the meantime, the joint venture partners have maintained focus on moving Peak Gold forward with continued permitting and exploration activities, with a budget of approximately $7.3 million on a 100% basis for calendar year 2019. Royal Gold’s share of exploration expenses is expected to be in the range of $1.4 million to $1.6 million for the September 2019 quarter.

While Royal Gold remains committed to advancing Peak Gold, it will continue to review and evaluate strategic alternatives for its ownership in Peak Gold that more closely align with its core business.

Fiscal 2019 Overview

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”), the Company recorded net income of $93.8 million, or $1.43 per basic share, as compared to a net loss of $113.1 million, or $(1.73) per basic share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”). The increase in earnings, when compared to fiscal 2018, was attributable to fiscal 2018 impairment charges of approximately $239.4 million, primarily on the Company’s royalty interest on the Pascua-Lama project. The effect of the impairment charges during fiscal 2018 was $2.74 per basic share, after taxes.

Fiscal 2019 revenue of $423.1 million was comprised of stream revenue of $305.8 million and royalty revenue of $117.2 million at an average gold price of $1,263 per ounce, an average silver price of $15.00 per ounce and an average copper price of $2.79 per pound, compared to total revenue for fiscal 2018 of $459.0 million, comprised of stream revenue of $324.5 million and royalty revenue of $134.5 million, at an average gold price of $1,297 per ounce, an average silver price of $16.72 per ounce and an average copper price of $3.06 per pound.

The decrease in fiscal 2019 revenue, compared with fiscal 2018, resulted primarily from a decrease in stream revenue and a decrease in the average gold, silver and copper prices. The decrease in stream revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in gold and copper sales at Mount Milligan and a decrease in gold sales at Pueblo Viejo, which were partially offset by higher gold sales at Andacollo and Rainy River. The decrease in metal sales at Mount Milligan was anticipated based on previous announcements from Centerra and as reported earlier by the Company. Royalty revenue also decreased in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 primarily due to a decrease in production at Peñasquito resulting from the suspension of operations referenced previously as well as lower metal prices.

Cost of sales decreased to $77.5 million for fiscal 2019 from $83.8 million for fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily due to decreased gold and copper sales from Mount Milligan and a decrease in gold sales from Pueblo Viejo, partially offset by an increase in gold sales at Rainy River and Andacollo. Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, is specific to the Company’s stream agreements and is the result of the purchase of gold, silver and copper for a cash payment.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $30.5 million for fiscal 2019, from $35.5 million for fiscal 2018. The decrease during fiscal 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in legal costs attributable to settlement of the Voisey’s Bay royalty calculation dispute as announced during the fiscal first quarter of 2019.

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) guidance which impacts how changes in fair value of equity securities are recognized at each reporting period. As a result of the new ASU guidance, the Company recognized a loss on changes in fair value of equity securities of approximately $6.8 million for fiscal 2019. The new guidance will increase earnings volatility at each reporting period.

Production taxes increased to $4.1 million for fiscal 2019, up from $2.3 million for fiscal 2018. The increase is primarily due to an increase in mining proceeds tax associated with the Voisey’s Bay royalty, which resulted from resumption of revenue from the Voisey’s Bay royalty during the current period.

Interest and other income decreased to $2.3 million for fiscal 2019, from $4.2 million for fiscal 2018. In June 2018, Golden Star repaid its $20 million term loan facility with Royal Gold, thus reducing interest income during fiscal 2019.

Interest and other expense decreased to $29.7 million for fiscal 2019, from $34.2 million for fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest expense as a result of a decrease in average amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility during fiscal 2019 when compared to fiscal 2018.

During fiscal 2019, the Company recognized income tax expense totaling $17.5 million compared with $14.8 million during fiscal 2018, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 16.4% during fiscal 2019, compared with (14.1%) in fiscal 2018. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2019 was primarily impacted by discrete true-ups related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), partially offset by the implementation of the global intangible low-taxed income tax regime. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 was impacted by tax expense related to the Act and a one-time non-cash functional currency election, partially offset by benefits related to impairment charges.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had current assets of $154.7 million compared to current liabilities of $33.6 million, resulting in working capital of $121.1 million and a current ratio of 5 to 1. This compares to current assets of $125.8 million and current liabilities of $51.4 million at June 30, 2018, resulting in working capital of $74.4 million and a current ratio of approximately 2 to 1. The increase in the current ratio was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company’s cash and equivalents, which is due to a decrease in investments and debt repayments when compared to the prior fiscal year.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $253.2 million for fiscal 2019, compared to $328.8 million for fiscal 2018. The decrease is primarily due to higher income taxes paid of $47.5 million over the prior period and a decrease in proceeds received from the Company’s stream and royalty interests, net of production taxes and cost of sales, of approximately $26.6 million. The increase in cash taxes paid during the current period is primarily attributable to an increase in required estimated tax payments made to various taxing authorities.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $780 million available and $220 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Working capital, combined with the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility, resulted in approximately $900 million of total liquidity at June 30, 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Overview

Fourth quarter revenue was $115.7 million compared to $116.2 million in the prior year quarter, with stream revenue totaling $90.3 million and royalty revenue totaling $25.4 million, compared to $83.5 million of stream revenue and $32.7 million of royalty revenue in the prior year quarter. The increase in stream revenue for the fourth quarter was primarily due to increased stream sales from Mount Milligan, Andacollo, Wassa and Rainy River, partially offset by lower gold and silver sales from Pueblo Viejo. The reduction in royalty revenue for the fourth quarter was due to a decrease in revenue from Peñasquito and other reductions in the royalty portfolio, the most significant of which was due to the expiry of the 1.0-5.0% sliding net smelter return royalty interest in the Mulatos mine upon reaching a cap of 2.0 million ounces of gold production early in the fourth quarter. The reduced royalty revenue for the quarter was partially offset by an increase in revenue from the Cortez royalty interests.

Fourth quarter cost of sales was approximately $23.8 million, compared to $22.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the higher contribution of gold and copper sales from Mount Milligan relative to total stream sales.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter from $10.9 million during the prior year quarter. The decrease during the current period was primarily due to lower legal costs resulting from settlement of the Voisey’s Bay royalty calculation dispute.

During the fourth quarter, the Company recognized a loss of $3.5 million on changes in fair value of equity securities related to the holdings in Contango ORE Inc. and Rubicon Minerals Corporation. There was no recognized gain or loss in the prior year quarter as the ASU guidance was adopted by the Company after the end of the prior year quarter on July 1, 2018.

The Company recognized a fourth quarter income tax expense of $6.1 million, compared to an expense of $4.7 million during the prior year quarter, which resulted in an effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 19.4% compared to 16.5% for the prior year quarter.

FOOTNOTES
Tables 1 and 2

  1. Reported production for stream interests relates to the Company’s actual metal sales, and for royalty interests relates to the amount of metal sales that are subject to the Company’s royalty interests for the stated period as reported to the Company by operators of the mines.
  2. Individually, no stream or royalty included within the “Other” category contributed greater than 5% of the Company’s total revenue for either period. The “Other” category for streams is the Prestea gold stream.
  3. The Pueblo Viejo silver stream is determined based on a fixed metallurgical recovery of 70% of silver in mill feed.
  4. The 240k oz threshold includes production from Golden Star’s Prestea mine.
