Insights

Mining Royalty Financial Analyst

Metalla's Q2 shows strong growth with successful credit facility establishment and positive developments across royalty portfolio assets.

Metalla Royalty & Streaming's Q2 2025 results highlight a pivotal growth period for the royalty company, marked by two key financial achievements. First, the company established a $40 million revolving credit facility with a potential $35 million accordion feature, replacing their previous C$50 million convertible loan and significantly reducing their cost of capital. Second, quarterly revenue jumped substantially to $2,695,000, a 208% increase from $875,000 in Q2 2024.

The company's operating metrics show impressive growth, with attributable gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) more than doubling year-over-year to 840 GEOs versus 401 GEOs in Q2 2024. The average realized price per GEO increased 41% to $3,289, while cash costs decreased to just $8 per GEO, creating an exceptional operating cash margin of $3,281 per GEO.

Asset developments are particularly promising with Endeavor Mine being successfully recommissioned and achieving operating cost targets in its first month, producing 5,398 dry metric tonnes of silver-lead concentrate. The company expects first cash flows from this asset in Q3 2025. Other positive developments include Hudbay's $600 million joint venture announcement with Mitsubishi for Copper World and Equinox Gold's Castle Mountain project gaining FAST-41 status, potentially accelerating its development timeline.

Among Metalla's producing royalty assets, Tocantinzinho contributed 309 GEOs after reaching nameplate capacity, while Wharf and Aranzazu contributed 279 and 175 GEOs respectively. Despite the revenue improvements, the company still reported a net loss of $1,603,000, slightly higher than the $1,491,000 loss in Q2 2024, though adjusted EBITDA improved significantly to $1,485,000 from $165,000 in the prior year period.

The diversified royalty portfolio continues to develop positively with several exploration programs underway that could expand resources and mine life at key assets, positioning Metalla for continued growth as these projects advance and mature.

Average realized price per attributable GEO	$3,289		$3,104

(d) Operating cash margin per attributable GEO

Operating cash margin per attributable GEO is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated by subtracting the average cast cost price per attributable GEO from the average realized price per attributable GEO. The Company presents operating cash margin per attributable GEO as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

(e) Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which excludes from net income taxes, finance costs, depletion, impairment charges, foreign currency gains/losses, share based payments, and non-recurring items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's operating performance, to plan and forecast its operations, and assess leverage levels and liquidity measures. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under IFRS. The Company's adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was:

	Three months		Six months
	ended		ended
	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2025
Net loss	$(1,603)		$(2,334)
Adjusted for:
Interest expense	454		902
Finance charges	81		161
Income tax provision	-		25
Loss on extinguishment of convertible loan facility	738		738
Depletion	558		1,055
Foreign exchange loss	412		413
Share-based payments	845		1,391
Adjusted EBITDA	$1,485		$2,351

(f) Adjusted working capital

Adjusted working capital is a non-IFRS measure calculated by taking the Company's current assets less its current liabilities, excluding any items that are not expected to be settled in cash for the next twelve months. In prior periods the Company presented a working capital adjustment for the convertible loan facility, as the classification of the convertible loan facility as a current liability was driven by changes in classification requirements under IFRS and not because the Company expected that liability to be settled in cash within the next twelve months. With the retirement of the convertible loan facility during the second quarter of 2025, no such adjustment is required. The Company believes that the exclusion, in prior periods, of the convertible loan facility from adjusted working capital gave a more accurate picture of the liquidity of the Company. Adjusted working capital is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company's adjusted working capital as at June 30, 2025, was:

	As at
	June 30, 2025
Total current assets	$13,230
Less:
Total current liabilities	(3,173)
Working capital	10,057

Adjusted working capital	$10,057

Refer the Company's MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for a numerical reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures described above. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS financial measures differently.

Future-Oriented Financial Information

This news release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about the Company's revenues from royalties, streams, and other projects, which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications set forth in the paragraphs below. FOFI contained in this news release was made as of the date of this news release and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Metalla's anticipated future business operations. Metalla disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. FOFI contained in this news release should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein.

Technical and Third-Party Information

Metalla has limited, if any, information on or access to the properties on which Metalla(or any of its subsidiaries) holds a royalty, stream or other interest and has no input into exploration, development or mining plans, decisions or activities on any such properties. Metalla is dependent on (i) the operators of the mines or properties and their QPs to provide technical or other information to Metalla, or (ii) publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the mines or properties on which Metalla holds a royalty, stream or other interest, and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Metalla does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by Metalla's royalty, stream or other interests. Metalla's royalty, stream or other interests can cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, resources and production of a property.

Unless otherwise indicated, the technical and scientific disclosure contained or referenced in this press release, ‎including any ‎references to mineral resources or mineral reserves, was prepared in accordance with Canadian ‎NI 43-101‎, which differs significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and ‎Exchange Commission (the "SEC") ‎applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, the scientific and technical ‎information contained or referenced in this press ‎release may not be comparable to similar information made ‎public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and ‎disclosure requirements of the SEC.‎

‎"Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to ‎their ‎economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ‎ever be ‎upgraded to a higher category. Historical results or feasibility models presented herein are not guarantees ‎or expectations of ‎future performance.‎
