Elemental Royalties (NASDAQ: ELE) is a publicly traded company that acquires and manages royalty and streaming interests in the mining sector. The firm focuses on securing long‑lived, low‑cost interests that provide ongoing, contractually defined payments or metal deliveries from producing and near‑term development mineral projects. By targeting royalties and streams rather than operating mines, the company seeks exposure to commodity price upside while avoiding the capital intensity and operating risks of miners.

Elemental Royalties’ activities include sourcing and negotiating royalty and stream transactions, performing technical and commercial due diligence on potential assets, and actively managing a diversified portfolio of interests. Its portfolio typically spans a range of commodity types—such as precious metals, base metals and other minerals—allowing the company to generate revenue streams that can be less correlated with any single commodity or asset lifecycle.

The business model is designed to provide investors with predictable, long‑term cash flows derived from third‑party production and to offer mining companies an alternative form of non‑dilutive financing. Elemental Royalties may participate in both accretive bolt‑on purchases and larger, structured transactions, aiming to build scale and diversification across jurisdictions and stages of mine development.

Elemental Royalties operates as a capital markets vehicle within the broader resources sector, and its profile is defined by transaction sourcing, asset management and portfolio optimization. Public disclosures and investor materials are the primary sources for current details on its asset mix, geographic footprint and corporate leadership. If you need the latest specifics on holdings or management, consult the company’s filings and investor relations resources.

Elemental Royalty Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

• Positive Sentiment: Strong Q2 performance: Revenue rose 127% year over year to nearly $24 million, gold equivalent ounces sold reached a record 5,250, adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $17.4 million, and operating cash flow reached a record $15.5 million.
• Positive Sentiment: Management said the company remains on track for the upper end of its 2026 guidance of 17,000–21,000 GEOs and projects growth to approximately 25,000 GEOs in 2028 and 30,000–35,000 GEOs in 2029–2030.
• Positive Sentiment: The pending Vizsla Royalties acquisition would add an uncapped 2%–3.5% NSR on the Panuco silver project; closing is expected in Q3 2026, subject to Mexican antitrust approval, with approximately $60 million of cash consideration.
• Positive Sentiment: Karlawinda’s expansion remains on schedule for Q3 completion, increasing expected annual production from roughly 115,000–120,000 ounces to about 150,000 ounces; reserves and resources also increased by approximately 30% and 48%, respectively.
• Neutral Sentiment: The company ended Q2 with about $74 million in cash and a $150 million credit facility plus a $50 million accordion, but expects to use cash for Vizsla and may draw modestly on the facility after its Chapi investment. Management expects quarterly G&A to decline from $5.6 million toward the low-$4 million range as merger-related and corporate initiative costs subside.

Presentation

[Operator]

Good day everyone, and thank you all for joining this Elemental Royalty Corp second quarter 2026 conference call. As a reminder, all lines are in a muted or listen-only mode to prevent background noise. Later you will have the opportunity to ask questions during our question and answer session. As a reminder, today's session is being recorded. It is my pleasure to turn the floor over to President and COO, Mr. Frederick Bell. Welcome, sir, the floor is yours.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Thank you very much and thank you everyone for joining us. Today you have myself, Frederick Bell, COO and President, and Stefan Wenger, our CFO, to talk us through the Q2 results for 2026. If you look at this slide, look it was at a high level, it was the second highest quarter of revenue in the company's history. It was a record in terms of gold equivalent ounces sold in the quarter. It continues to show the growth that we have forecast for this year, and we are ahead of the midpoint of guidance as we pass the mid-year point. As of the end of Q2, the company, before new acquisitions, had a cash position of about $74 million. I will talk through a few overview slides and then pass over to Stefan to run through the more detailed Q2 financials.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We will give a bit of an update on the portfolio projects growth profile, and then lead into a Q&A for questions. As a brief reminder, the portfolio as it sits today is roughly 2/3 gold focus, 1/3 copper. Very diversified across both jurisdiction and counterparty operators. We have done a lot of work in the first half of the year, on the corporate side, in terms of uplist to the TSX from the TSXV. We completed our NASDAQ listing at the end of last year. We increased our credit facility, upsizing it and reducing the cost of capital on that. We had some new analyst coverage coming on and we had some starting to see the first indexes as well for the company index inclusion that we expect and onwards. In terms of capital allocation, we put in place the company's maiden dividend in Q1.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We also had approval for a normal course issuer bid at the company's AGM of up to 5% of shares outstanding over the next year. We have now paid two quarters of dividends in Q1 and Q2. The management team, we have both taken on the management teams from EMX and Elemental as part of the merger, but we have also added to that over the course of the first year, strengthening both our technical team, financial team, and legal team, to enable us to maintain the cadence of growth and transactions that we have demonstrated over the past year. We continue to have a very supportive shareholder base. I think as most people are aware, major shareholder, 32% approximately currently is Tether.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

One, I think before we get into the detail of Q2, it is worth rewinding and going back to June 2025 and looking at the difference between the company as it was then and as we sit at the end of Q2 2026. A few really key points to highlight here. If you look at our top six cornerstone assets as of the middle of 2025, they had an average value of about $40 million. With the conclusion closing of the Vizsla transaction, those top six assets for the company going forwards will have an average value of about $170 million. A number of new acquisitions and additions to increased our cornerstone assets materially in terms of size and importance to the portfolio.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think we guided last year that this was going to be one of the key areas of focus for the company, is improving the quality of our cornerstone top 10 assets as we go forwards and looking to build this into a mid-tier royalty company. We are looking to have really high-quality assets underpinning it. In terms of capital allocation, you can see that in the year from June 2024 to 2025, the company deployed about $28 million in new acquisitions, including, again, the Vizsla transaction. In the year to June 2026, the company will have deployed about $750 million, including the EMX and Vizsla corporate transactions.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Material step-up in terms of growth, in terms of the number of producing royalties, again, in further risking it from that perspective, a multiple uplift of three times in terms of total number of royalties as well, adding a lot in the development and earlier stage side. Then in terms of revenue, which we will talk to more, but you can see that the guidance for 2025 was about $40 million and up to $85 million this year. I think on all of those metrics, we are a very different company at the end of Q2 to where we were at the end of Q2 2025.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think before we get into the detail, it is really important to have that context of just how much has been going on, both on the portfolio side, strengthening it, but also on the corporate side, on the team side, really building it out. I think we have spoken to a bit some of the indexes that we expect the company to get into. We have the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index inclusion in Q2 with the Russell 2000 inclusion as well, and we are expecting MSCI Canada Small Cap Index and GDXJ as well going forward in the short term. In terms of really material strategic developments, the most important one was the agreement to acquire Vizsla Royalties, and that is an uncapped life of mine, 2% to 3.5% NSR over the Panuco project. We have guided to the market close of that transaction in Q3 2026.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Just to reiterate, Vizsla Royalties had shareholder approval, and they had court approval, and we are waiting on the Mexican Antitrust Commission, who we are in regular contact with to sign off that transaction. We can talk a bit more to that later on. In terms of some of the corporate milestones, these often going on in the background. Every time in the company's history we have renewed our credit facility, we have lowered the cost of capital. That trend in H1, both upsizing it to $150 million plus $50 million accordion, but also reducing that cost of capital, giving us additional flexibility. Index inclusions we spoke to, and we have been active at times on the normal course issuer bid, given some of the volatility in markets and trying to take advantage of that when we see anomalies in terms of our valuation.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We completed another transaction on Western Queen royalty where we already had exposure, and we increased that royalty. We improved the terms. We improved the cover earlier in the course of the H1. There is a number of updates we will talk a bit more to on some of our cornerstone assets, Timok, Caserones, Carlin Trend, Laverton. Post quarter end, we had an investment which was both adding to our existing royalty at Chapi, which commissioned in H1, but also taking some equity in that company as they look to come public in the coming months. We paid our second quarterly dividend. We also introduced the option for shareholders to take that in Tether Gold as well as cash. Just to clarify for some shareholders on that point, anyone can still take that in cash.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

It is just now an additional option to take that in Tether Gold for those who would like to. With that, I think those are some of the highlights overall. I will pass over to Stefan to run through Q2 financials in detail. Thank you.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Yeah. Thank you, Fred, and good morning, everyone. I am really pleased to be reporting to you today that we just had an outstanding second quarter and first half of the year. As Fred mentioned, it is a completely different company post-merger with EMX, and we have had quite a busy first half of the year that I will talk to in more detail. But the portfolio is performing as we expected it would. We had nearly $24 million in revenue in Q2, a 127% increase over the prior year. GEOs are at the higher end of our guidance range. We had 5,250 GEOs sold in Q2. It is a 65% increase over the prior period. Our Adjusted EBITDA of $17.4 million was up nearly 100%. Operating cash flow of $15.5 million is a record and up over prior year.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

It is only up 8% because we had some payments in the prior year that also came in operating cash flow, but very strong conversion to cash flow. At the end of the quarter, we had $74 million in cash, and Fred has already talked about our undrawn credit facility as well. I will guide that as we close the Vizsla transaction, there is a cash component to that. So we expect to use about $60 million in cash on the Vizsla transaction. We have also just completed the Chapi acquisition that Fred pointed out. So we will potentially use a small amount of our credit facility just to maintain working capital post those couple of items. But as you can see from the portfolio, we continue to generate cash, and we feel like we are in very excellent financial position with working capital of $96 million.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Moving on to the financials, and I have already pointed out some of the revenue numbers on the left. But just focused on the financials themselves, the questions I get most are, what is your G&A run rate going forward, and how should we expect the cost profile going forward? From a G&A perspective, the first half was incredibly busy, and we have really laid the foundation for growth in the future. But I expect in the second half, our costs will decline. From a run rate perspective, I would expect our G&A to be somewhere in the low $4 million range on a quarter-over-quarter basis instead of the 5.6 that you see here. But there is a number of initiatives that we are working on right now to reduce those costs.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

For example, after we completed the merger with EMX and Elemental, we had over 70 entities within the combined group because of historically how the company has been put together. This year, we are targeting reducing that by over 50%, which will reduce costs and reduce friction within the company. Also, during the first half of the year, Fred mentioned some of the corporate initiatives that we worked on, the NASDAQ, the TSX uplift, the dividend, the NCIB, the credit facility, all of the work that we have been doing to sort of build the platform for future growth.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Some of those costs are going to come off as we go forward because that is why I can guide to a lower G&A rate running forward from here. Royalty generation expense is right in line with our budget, so you can annualize that for the year as far as an expectation.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

We continue to be focused on growing NAV per share every day. So that is where you will continue to see the focus of the company. As I go forward, I have already mentioned as well, we are tracking towards the upper end of our guidance of 21,000 GEOs for the year. We are about 60% of the lower end of our guidance. So tracking very well within that guidance range, and our revenue is also tracking. So we are in very good shape. The portfolio is doing exactly what we expected it to do this year. Just giving a snapshot of where our cash flow goes. You can see that we ended Q1 with $69 million in cash. We generated that $15.5 million of free cash flow.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

From a capital allocation perspective, we had a relatively small investment to expand our Western Queen royalty that was AUD 10 million or about $7 million U.S. Frederick mentioned we commenced an NCIB with our share price we believe was trading well below our NAV, and we took advantage of that and invested $2 million in share repurchases, in addition to just less than $2 million of our dividend payments that have now happened in Q1 and Q2. So a really balanced allocation of return of capital to shareholders with both the NCIB and the dividend. The full first half cash flow bridge shows a similar story, and really that free cash flow is being driven from our key royalties from Caserones, Bonikro, Karlawinda, Leeville, and Timok. I believe 80% of our revenue comes from those top five assets.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

We are performing and growing as expected. Frederick is going to give a slide that talks about our growth profile and all of these things that we are doing during this quarter are focused on building for the future, and you will see that in the slide that Frederick will present. With that, I will turn it back to Frederick and then happy to answer questions at the end.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Thank you. Thank you, Stefan. Look, this is an overview of our portfolio just as a reminder for everyone. I think one of the takeaways from this is not just how diversified we are in terms of our revenue base, but also the number of advanced projects that we have in the portfolio. A few of which we will talk to specifically later in this presentation. The very, very deep pool of embedded optionality with those approximately 200 earlier stage royalties, where we often do not have a value attributed to them, but where a lot of those operators and our counterparties are investing, in some cases, tens of millions of dollars a year in terms of exploration and advancing those projects.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We know from experience there is a huge amount of embedded optionality in those earlier stage royalties that we do not get value for currently, but is part of the benefit of having this portfolio very diversified. The two additions to it that we will talk to a bit just recently, and we have touched on Panuco, and again, this is one of the highest quality primary silver development assets that is known in the market. It is going to be a very material contributor for us once it is in production going forwards, and we are really excited, remain really excited by the exploration potential. There is a third of the known veins that have been explored to date, and the more work they do, the more they find. We expect the resource across the project to continue to grow.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

If you look at those first five years of the mine plan, we see potential for that to continue over the four years of the life and then later extension. We think that the feasibility study they put out was at a point in time based on the resources. We expect that to improve over time. We expect to see more resources coming into it, and that 2%-3.5% uncapped royalty on the project makes it a very material contributor for us going forwards. In terms of key catalysts there, Vizsla are waiting for their permit for the mine, and we have seen over the last quarter two, I think, other permits granted in Mexico. There is progress being made by other companies in the pipeline of projects getting approvals.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

There is also a plan for Vizsla to have enhanced security at the outset going forward. We look to get approval from the Mexican Antitrust Commission. We have guided this quarter. We have had questions back and forwards with them and coming over the summer as well. I think there was a bit of a delay getting some answers back from them. But we would anticipate getting that approval in the coming weeks, subject to not getting any further follow-up questions from them. We have answered everything to date that we need, and we have shareholder approval for that and the court's approval as well.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Expect that the final Mexican Antitrust to happen in the coming weeks, and we will be able to close the Vizsla transaction, which as Stefan mentioned is it was three quarters equity consideration and approximately one quarter cash that will be paid on closing. The next asset that we added to here, and this was an existing royalty we had in the portfolio, and the initial investment was made at the beginning of 2025. We added an additional royalty on it. We also took equity in the company, which we do not do as often. This is a very well-known management team in Peru. A really top tier track record.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

It is in a belt here where you can see a lot of the majors' deposits are Freeport's Cerro Verde to the northwest, and you have Anglo American Southern Copper projects, and more recently, Zijin Mining Group just came in in the past month or two as well. So it is a huge amount of exploration potential. They have done the hardest part in terms of commissioning the mine in the first half of this year, getting production at an initial 10,000 tons per annum, and working on the plans for expansion to 30,000 tons per annum as well going forward. So an asset where we see cash flow from immediately.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We have increased our coverage. We have also increased our total royalty exposure. And we think it is a top-rate management team with a very storied track record in Peru of actually operating successfully and executing. So we added to that in the quarter.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Then maybe a bit of an update on some of our producing assets and some of our cornerstone ones. There are a few updates out from Karlawinda, and you can see it generated about $3 million U.S. of revenue in Q2 and approximately that amount when you look at H1, similar, about $3 million. Two important updates from Karlawinda. The first is that their expansion of the mine is on track for completion in Q3, so this quarter. As a reminder, they are taking that annual production, increasing it from about 115,000, 120,000 ounces to approximately 150,000 ounces per annum. That expansion is expected to complete and commission this quarter, and then they will be at a run rate of about 150,000 ounces per annum, and fully funded internally by Capricorn Metals.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

They also, very importantly, post-quarter end, they announced an increase both in their reserves and resources. About a 30% increase in reserves versus last year, and about a 48% increase in total resources as well. Just as a note, I think, look, it's using approximately, in U.S. dollar terms, an $1,800 gold price, I think on that resource reserve update. So we continue to see material mine life potential, both through exploration also converting the resources which are approximately equal to the reserves as they stand today going forwards. At Caserones in Chile, Lundin continue the exploration that they have been doing over the past 18 months, and in total, that will be about 100 km of drilling at the project.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think for us, there's a number of other growth initiatives underway, improving the cathode plant utilization, and we expect to see some updates on that exploration they've been doing over the past 18 months going forwards. So that's been, I think the best way to characterize Caserones has been continued incremental improvement since Lundin took majority ownership quarter on quarter, year on year, and that's tracking well, notwithstanding some interruptions in Q3 for weather that they have announced.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

But that's, as you can see, an asset that both Elemental Royalty and EMX Royalty Corporation owned and a material contributor now and going forwards. In terms of some of the other assets, we had site visits and updates both at Timok and Leeville in the first half of the year as well. So we were able to meet with the management teams, get updates on mine plans and how they're progressing.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think positive on both senses in terms of what they're actually achieving on the ground and current production, as well as the longer-term outlook. Timok is an asset that we have spoken to quite a lot in terms of the expansion there, and they continue to develop the lower zone. As a reminder, they are currently mining the upper zone. They have a major expansion into the lower zone underway, and they will be mining that both through shafts and declines, and that will be mined in parallel with the upper zone. They also made a very important discovery a year ago that in Zijin Mining Group's terms, by itself classifies as a super major discovery, which is the MG Zone, Malka Golaja, to the southeast and within our royalty area.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

They put out an initial resource on that, and we expect that also to be another production area for them in the future going forwards. Very good to get our site visit there complete and see the progress they are making. It has been a pretty consistent contributor for us in recent quarters. At Bonikro, this is a 4.5% NSR, so this has been a material contributor for us recently. This is a cap royalty, so it will continue until approximately 2029 producing for us. Allied were going to be acquired by Zijin, and that changed post quarter end into investment by Zijin in Allied, and Allied continue to operate.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think at Bonikro, they have actually extended the mine life there, so they continue to work on it, and it continues to be a very important contributor for them and also for us through that 4.5% royalty coverage that we have. Then lastly, Leeville. This is partial coverage, so again, quite important for us to get the site visit here, talk to the management team, and understand how our royalty area, which is very similar to Royal Gold's Leeville royalty, how that royalty area fits into their mine plans going forwards. I think one comment on Leeville has been the consistent exploration success Nevada Gold Mines have had there over many years. I think we saw that through the management update that we had.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think for us, there is a multi-decade mine life coming through on that Leeville royalty, and that is before exploration that they continue to do there. So Leeville is a really high-quality asset for us with that management team there. In terms of the development projects that we talk to most often, and this is a highlight, I think what you might take away from this is that these operators are investing approximately $800+ million in these projects to expand them, to bring them into production, to develop them. So these are serious counterparties. Genesis Minerals in Australia, one of the highest regarded management teams. AbraSilver, which has been a huge success recently in Diablillos project. Mansa Resources, existing private mid-tier operator, and they operate two mines and looking to fast track Dugbe Project into construction at end of this year, beginning of next.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Fireweed with the Lundins there who have done a lot of work progressing the project, and feasibility study expected on that next year. Viscaria, where they have started construction and looking to target that production coming in next year. Then Cactus, which was successfully acquired by Hudbay and feeds into their pipeline. I think the important thing about our growth profile when we talk to it is that it is partly coming from existing producers. Genesis is an example, Mansa is an example, Hudbay is an example, but it is also coming from management teams with a track record, with an ability to raise a finance, develop the project, and I think our growth profile is materially de-risked versus a lot of peers.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

In terms of our track record, we've updated this slide now for Q2. As a reminder, it shows on the first line what we originally acquired these royalties for, and in the dark gold, what we have received from them to date, and then the current NAV. We update this, try and do it on a quarterly basis. We've summarized on the right some of our previous investments, smaller ones, but you can see there as well really good returns and some of those assets still in production today. Mount Pleasant, Mercedes, Korali-Sud, and so continuing to improve those returns over time. I think if you look at Karlawinda as an example, the second one on the left here. Look, when we bought that royalty we had a view that the management team were top tier in Australia. Very long track record of successful execution.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We had a view that their previous company, they built three mines in five years, and they also expanded all three of those mines in that five-year period. We had a view they were going to do the same at Karlawinda based on the resource and the deposit and how they built it, and we're seeing that now coming through. We also had a view that the mine life would continue to grow over time, which we have seen. When you combine those factors, you get an awful lot of optionality through the royalty model, and through the benefit of an operator like Capricorn Metals being able to invest internally hundreds of millions of dollars into a mine expansion and into continued exploration for the benefit of us as a royalty holder.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

The next slide here is our growth outlook. As Stefan mentioned, we have been working on this assiduously, not just from additions to the portfolio, and we have made a number of royalty acquisitions over the last year that have added to this. Vizsla, you can see there in the gray that will come into that growth profile. We have done this alongside our adding to the team, building out the really strength of our management team and the corporate side. If you look here, our guidance for this year is about 17,000 to 21,000 gold equivalent ounces. If you jump forward to 2028, we're forecasting that to be about 25,000 GEOs. If you go to 2029, 2030, 30,000, 35,000 GEOs.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

As Stefan alluded to, we will continue to be in a very strong financial position, even post-close of Vizsla, and we will have the strongest organic growth profile the company has ever had by orders of magnitude. That is not including existing assets like Karlawinda that will continue to add to their mine life. It's not including the approximate 100,000 m of drilling that Caserones has happened over the last 18 months, continues, that we expect to add to the mine life there. It's not including exploration across most of our other major assets. Look, I think it puts us in a very strong position, not just to continue delivering the financial returns that we are at the moment, but also to get that material uplift in terms of revenue growth and margins going forwards.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

In terms of the next slide here, I will just touch on this quickly, and we will go through into Q&A in a minute. We wanted to give a highlight because it has been such a busy period of the catalysts that we have achieved and those that are still outstanding on the portfolio and corporate side. You can see on the left, a number of the projects hitting material catalysts and the number that are still to come in the second half of this year and being guided to by operators there. On the corporate front, a number of the initiatives underway to improve the company's position to strengthen our liquidity, which has seen a very material 50 times increase from June of 2025 through to where we are today.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Put ourselves in the position to continue to grow the company, improve liquidity for shareholders, and improve visibility of the company going forwards. The next slide here I will just touch on quickly, but approximately $1.2 billion market cap U.S. dollars. As Stefan mentioned, about $74 million cash as of Q2 end before the $25 million Chapi investment, and before the approximately $60 million cash that we will be paying to Vizsla Royalties on completion. We had some additional analyst coverage, pleased to say CIBC initiated on the company as well.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We have continued to get better research coverage, and I think raising our profile in the space, and part of that is that TSX up list, the NASDAQ listing, the index inclusion, and we have a number of shareholders listed there on the right-hand side. I think a number of those shareholders who have been shareholders in the company for a number of years, very supportive. Stephens Investment Management, Euro Pacific, Extract Capital, a few groups there that have been shareholders in the company for many years, very supportive. We now have Tether as well, since June of last year, who have been a major shareholder in the company, very supportive. Juan is on the board as exec chair and continue to be supporting the company in growth initiatives going forwards.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

With that, I will come to the last slide here, circling back on where we are at the mid-year point, and that is about $48 million in H1 revenue, 10,000 GEOs, as Stefan mentioned, and really on track to deliver a very good performance in line or above guidance for 2026. With that, happy to run over to questions.

[Operator]

Thank you. To our audience joining over the phones, if you would like to ask a question over your phone line, simply press star followed by the digit one on your telephone keypad. We will pause for a moment to give everyone the opportunity to signal. We do have a signal from the audience coming from Mr. Larry Liu at CIBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

[Larry Liu, Analyst at CIBC Capital Markets]

Good afternoon, Fred, and good morning, Stefan. Thanks for taking my question today. I have just two really quick questions. The first one is on the GEO calculation. Can you remind us if the GEO reported is calculated at spot prices or your guidance prices? If it is calculated at spot prices, how does that compare to your guidance prices? Does that give us a positive now that you have that 1/3 copper and copper prices really ran?

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Yeah, I am happy to take that, Larry. The GEOs that we report are based on actual average prices for the quarter, compared to our revenue. So revenue divided by the average price gets us our GEOs. Our guidance was made at $4,500 gold, and I am looking up the copper right now, was at $5.50 copper. So we are just below where our guidance price range was for gold and well above it for copper. Copper has been the outperformer so far.

[Larry Liu, Analyst at CIBC Capital Markets]

Perfect. Sounds good. I guess, Stefan, what you are trying to tell me is, if you use realized prices today, that will give you more GEO calc because copper prices are higher.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Yes. We are benefiting from the higher copper prices. Gold, of course, has been a little bit below our guidance range.

[Larry Liu, Analyst at CIBC Capital Markets]

All right. Perfect. Sounds good. Thanks, Stefan. I guess, touching on my second question, taking a step back here. Fred, you talked about how Elemental is a very different company just from a few months ago or even a year ago, where you did the EMX merger and now on track to closing the Vizsla transaction. I just wanted to ask about what does growing in size, does that change the way you look at transaction, whether it is deal sizes or now you have gotten your feet wet and put a little bit of into equity investment recently? Does that change the way you look at your transaction style?

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Thanks, Larry. I think it is very consistent with what we have done in the past, and we have taken small equity positions alongside royalties in the past, where we see value and where we see the opportunity. In terms of the transaction size, I think you have seen the whole spectrum of deals that we have looked at. We have done $7 million transactions adding to existing royalties such as Western Queen, alongside much larger corporate transactions on the other side of the scale, with Vizsla Silver. I think we are continuing to look across a range. We do see really strong pipeline in terms of opportunities that we are working on and we have progressed. I think importantly, the company is in a position to be able to execute on those.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Just a reminder for everyone on the call, I think in the royalty space, if you look at across it from really the top down, people are looking both for growth and the ability to continue to deploy capital aggressively. The second consideration is do you have the financing and funding and ability to do that? If you look at both Elemental and EMX historically, we have actually between us syndicated about $200 million of deal flow over the history of the company. That is as we grew from smaller companies, not wanting to overweight the portfolio, but also to individual assets, but also, a function of availability of capital. We have syndicated with Franco-Nevada twice. We have syndicated with two different private equity groups in the space as well.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

That is an area that we do not necessarily have to do going forwards, where we are giving away some of the deal flow that we have generated and opportunities that we have found ourselves. I think we will continue to be very active looking across the spectrum of assets. Where we are probably going to be very consistent on as well is on the commodity front. I mentioned earlier, we were roughly 2/3 precious metals and 1/3 copper. I think we continue to have a focus on those commodities, but with an ability to be opportunistic where we see deep value elsewhere in the space.

[Larry Liu, Analyst at CIBC Capital Markets]

Amazing.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Thanks, Larry Liu, for the questions.

[Larry Liu, Analyst at CIBC Capital Markets]

I am excited to hear that. Excited to hear good cash chasing good assets out there. Thanks, guys, and congrats on a strong quarter.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Thank you, Larry Liu.

We'll take our next question from the line of Heiko Ihle at H.C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.

[Heiko Ihle, Analyst at H.C. Wainwright]

Hey there. Thanks for taking my questions. Good morning. Just actually following up on the last question a little bit. Obviously, Vizsla and Panuco was a pretty interesting deal. Can you walk us through your view on geopolitical risk factors as they pertain to assets and your willingness to take risks? And if that willingness to take risks has changed at all since the merger, since you're obviously a bigger company and can arguably take on more risks at a right discount rate?

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Fred, do you want to take that?

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Thank you, Heiko, for that question. I'm happy to answer it. And I think one of the aspects I would say is that, in terms of the risks we're able to take, those risks, because of the growth of the company, that transaction for either an Elemental or an EMX would have been a materially greater risk than it is for the combined company with the portfolio that we have.

[Heiko Ihle, Analyst at H.C. Wainwright]

Got it.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

the diversified portfolio and the asset base. I think in terms of our ability to take greater risk, I would almost rephrase it and say that those risks are mitigated to an extent and we are less of a risk for the combined company to be able to do than before. That touches on the point around syndicating risk as well. I think Vizsla, it is an awful lot easier for us, and I think it's also more attractive for the Vizsla Royalty shareholders to do a deal with a combined Elemental Royalty as it is today, versus what it would've been a year ago. In terms of our overall Mexico exposure, as an example, we have less exposure than a Wheaton as a percentage of the portfolio. I think we're relatively similar with Franco and a number of the other royalty companies.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think that it's in line with some of the larger royalty companies in Mexico, which as you know, if you want silver exposure, it remains one of the top destinations in the world for that geologically. I think overall in the portfolio, what we always try and do is we try to balance geopolitical risk with the geological potential. We're constantly assessing it with those factors in mind, and I think that there are some emerging jurisdictions and there are some areas in developing countries where we see outsized geological potential. Then it is a question of how that geopolitical risk fits into our portfolio, and alongside the rest of our assets. In this case, I think we thought Vizsla was exceptional in terms of its geological potential, and it's proven that over the last couple of years.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

I think it's got a huge amount of exploration still to come ahead of it. The other side is that it is a transaction that when we talk to the number of deals that we have done in the last year, I think we mentioned a $750 million number across the EMX Royalty Corporation portfolio, across Laverton, across Dugbe, across Western Queen Gold Project, across Chapi, the sum of the transactions. I think what you will see from us, Heiko, is an ability to maintain a higher cadence of deal flow, and that is partly a function of the combinations of the team. It's partly a function that we've also strengthened our team in key areas. Then we are a larger, better-financed company that has a greater ability to maintain that growth cadence and that transaction cadence more so than in the past.

[Heiko Ihle, Analyst at H.C. Wainwright]

That's actually a very good layover to my second question here. You got the normal course issuer bid, so you're repurchasing some shares and you're actively doing it. You don't just have it in place. You have a balance sheet that's much healthier than anything I've ever really seen, and obviously I come from the EMX Royalty Corporation side of the business. But I've never really seen quite this much firepower at the ready. Would you be willing to issue meaningful amounts of shares for a large sale acquisition and what's your maximum size-wise that you're looking at right now?

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Maybe Stefan, do you want to touch on that?

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Yeah, I'd love to. Heiko, good to talk with you, and thanks for the question. We've structured the company to be very strong on the balance sheet. You saw in the first half we increased that credit facility. Getting to your question, our first thought when we acquire a new royalty or a stream is to be as accretive to NAV per share as possible. There's a reason we have a credit facility. We look to use the credit facility and use our banking partners to help us lever into a deal at an appropriate level of leverage. Now, as Fred's pointed out, we've built a team for growth. We've got the team, we've got the balance sheet, we've got a supportive investor. There will come a time when we'll need to issue equity for the right deals.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Again, we'll look at the financing together with the deal from terms of what do we look like on an NAV per share and an accretive growth per share model as we do that. I won't rule out equity in the future if we have the right deals, but we do look to have a strengthened balance sheet that utilizes our existing cash flow from our banking partners first.

[Heiko Ihle, Analyst at H.C. Wainwright]

Very helpful. Thank you so much. I will get back with you.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Thank you, Heiko. Any other questions from

[Operator]

When we have no further signals from our phones.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

We have a number of questions that have come in through the text line, so maybe I can just highlight a couple of those before we break. One comes in from Brian MacArthur. Can you comment on your targeted precious metals content in the longer term? Maybe I will take that, Fred. I would just comment that right now we are about 2/3 precious metals. You can see from the Vizsla acquisition that we are adding to precious metals. We are also looking at other transactions through our corporate development team that are focused on precious but may have other base metal components. I suggest that we look to continue to increase that precious component. That said, we are really pleased with the copper in our portfolio that is generating a tremendous amount of cash flow for us, so I think it is a well-balanced portfolio. I will take one.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

There is a whole host of questions in the text line about our cost structure, so maybe I will take that. And then Fred, there were just a couple more on Vizsla that I think perhaps you already commented on, but if there is anything else you want to comment there. Back to the cost structure. I think I highlighted in my comments that the first half of the year was extremely busy, and our cost structure is made up of a couple things. We have our fixed costs that are our compensation and the cost of running the portfolio, both from a corporate perspective and through an entity structure that is quite complex. So on the fixed side, that is where those costs from. There are also variable costs each quarter.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

When I highlight that our first half was extremely busy, it is because we had a number of corporate initiatives, both integration activities, but also corporate activities and strengthening the platform for future growth. Some of those variable costs are going to reduce in the next few quarters meaningfully. Longer term, we are also working on those fixed costs when I highlighted the potential to reduce our corporate structure. We are always looking to make our team as efficient as possible, so we hope to reduce those as well. As I look at the cost as a whole, we have been at about $5.5 million of G&A per quarter for these first two quarters. I would expect that to be closer to the low $4 million range, the $4.5 million range. So on an annualized basis, $16 million to $18 million a year.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

But obviously, we are always going to look to improve on that. I would say it a different way. Right now, our Adjusted EBITDA is about 74% of revenue, and as we go into 2027, I would expect to improve that to greater than 80% of our revenue. Obviously, our goal is to grow the top line meaningfully and then incrementally lower that cost structure so we are increasing cash flow from both sides. Fred, any other comments on that or with respect to Panuco that you wanted to add before we close up?

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Thanks, Stefan. I think the questions on Panuco were around timing of closing and gave some guidance on where we are with that. Just to reiterate, we have been back and forth, answering any questions from the Mexican Antitrust Commission, and we expect to get that approval in the coming weeks. There is no formal timeline for that at this stage, but based on our interactions and responses today, we would expect to get that in the coming weeks. Of course, we will update the market as soon as we do. So that is on the Vizsla side. I think maybe there was another question as well, just around the dividend, and I think I would around the ability to take that in Tether Gold versus cash. Just to make sure everyone is aware, every shareholder has the ability to take that in cash as per normal.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We have just added a secondary ability to elect to take that in Tether Gold. It doesn't mean anyone has to, it just is an additional option for people who would like that, going forwards. I think that's the majority of the questions that we've had in, Stefan. If there's anything else you would

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Fred, there was one other on our expectation of consolidation in the industry. This is one we get quite a lot, so I thought it'd be great if you could comment on that.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Yeah. So look, I suppose from the company's perspective, we have been active in the industry, both as a target of consolidation and also, an active participant. For those looking back a couple of years, Elemental has combined in the past with Altus Strategies and EMX Royalty Corporation. There was some crossover between the companies in terms of shareholders, in terms of some of the management team, and board even.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

So I think we all saw the benefits of consolidation in the past, and I think the merger with EMX Royalty Corporation and the ability to leverage the skills of the combined team and the benefits of the portfolio diversification, increased scale. In EMX Royalty Corporation's case, we even owned some of the same assets, alongside each other. So we definitely saw the value there. I think going forwards, we have said that we try and look at it on an asset basis.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

When we see an individual royalty acquisition opportunity or we see a portfolio of royalties, and that can be in a private company, it can be in a public company, we do bottom-up work to look at the value of those assets and see which presents more value for us as a company. You've seen a number of transactions to date on individual acquisitions where we saw value, and you also saw the corporate transaction with Vizsla that we thought was a really strong addition into our portfolio, into our growth pipeline. So we continue to look at that.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

We continue to see value on the whole in getting that scale and critical mass and some of the additions to our team that we made in H1, and that was on the technical team, that was on the finance team, that was on the legal team, and people with specific experience in the royalty industry and space as well. I think part of those additions we made to the team were setting us up, as Stefan alluded to future growth. We are maintaining that outlook, and open mind in terms of opportunities. We are very busy at the moment. There has been a lot of deal flow that has been coming to the company.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Just because we are waiting for that Vizsla Royalty transaction to close, certainly does not mean we are not continuing to work on opportunities in the background continuously, and we will do that going forwards as well.

[Stefan Wenger, CFO at Elemental Royalty]

Fred, there was one last question that I just wanted to comment on. The question says, "With 200+ royalties, how do you monitor and prioritize material developments across the portfolio?" I guess I would just say we have a, as Fred just mentioned, we have an excellent team whose primary goal is to monitor every development within our portfolio, both from a technical and financial perspective. I think just a shout-out to our team. We have developed a really good platform to grow, and of course, that growth is fueled by our platform that includes our 200 royalties. The team plays a major role there. With that, Fred, I guess I would turn it back over to you for any final comments, and we can wrap it up.

[Frederick Bell, President and COO at Elemental Royalty]

Well, thank you everyone for joining our Q2 2026 call. Thank you for those of you existing shareholders who continue to support the company and any investors listening. We are always, and we try and reiterate this every quarter, but we are always very open to take calls and meetings one-on-one with investors if they have follow-up questions. So please feel free to send them through and Tara on our IR side or to either of us, and we will come back to you. But with that, thank you very much. Thank you to the team for another great quarter, Stefan and the finance team for all the work putting this together, and look forward to updating you at the end of Q3.
