| Statement |
|---|
| The very successful Australian IPO -- after a very successful Australian IPO, the company's CDIs began trading yesterday on the ASX |
| When looking at our overall performance for the full year, it is important to note that the fiscal book a record year in terms of deals earned and was very busy from a transactional point of view 94,300 GEOs earned in 2023, representing a respectable 6% growth over the 89,400 GEOs earned in the full year 2022 |
| We have a very positive constructive view on the copper environment go forward around the energy transition and decarbonization themes that you're very, very well aware of |
| Despite these headwinds, 2023 marked record annual revenues of CAD247.3 million and an annual cash margin of 93% with a record 94% being achieved in the company's fourth quarter |
| After barely missing the low end of its guidance range for the past two years, Osisko has now set targets that the company is confident they can deliver on, helping us further reestablish credibility by meeting expectations set in order to complement our asset base, which we believe remaining remains second to none |
| The company has had a stellar year as it relates to its disciplined deployment of capital into new transactions with some meaningful additions to an already strong portfolio |
| With other smaller transactions rounding up the full list 2023 provided yet another demonstration of our team's ability to uncover and source accretive precious metals transaction |
| Increases in record annual revenues largely tracked both the commensurate increase of annual deals earned as well as higher year-over-year commodity prices |
| On a quarterly basis, strong commodity prices resulted in a new quarterly high watermark achieved in the fourth quarter of CAD 65.2 million which contributed to a revenue achievement of CAD 274.3 million for the full year 2023 |
| What this means is that Osisko's peer-leading growth profile very much remains intact |
| More importantly, 2023 annual adjusted earnings of CAD 0.54 cents per basic common share represented an improvement over 2022 |
| Corvette is a very good asset in our portfolio |
| Some comments on specific mine performances before speaking about a couple of our assets in greater detail like a reliable workhorse, the Canadian market had yet another impressive year and remains the company's most significant contributor to GEOs earned |
| This, I believe is the highest amongst our peer group |
| This is important, as Osisko doesn't expect to sit – sit on its hands in 2024 and our much improved balance sheet provides the Company with the financial capacity and flexibility to continue its strategic strategy of disciplined allocation in the pursuit of high-quality, accretive precious metals, streams and royalties that will bolster the Company's current and near-term deal deliveries and cash flow that should accrue to our shareholders benefit |
| Look from a strategic perspective in 2023 was a very good year for Osisko in terms of transactions, five transactions were done and they're all very accretive and will benefit shareholders go forward |
| A more positive note, however, I'll draw your attention to the top half of the list where five of our top 10 contributors continue along their path of improvement in the form of ongoing expansions, mine life extensions or throughput and production ramp-ups |
| But you can think transactions US$200 million is not out of reach for the previous fiscal group, but we will also continue to do transactions like in 2023 with US$35 million and then MAC [ph] which gives us some very good deal profile |
| As we stated previously, the covenant performance is exceptionally strong with cash margins expected in 2024 of 97% |
| Rounding things out with our newest material contributor, Metals Acquisition Limited, they had a solid quarter with gold and silver production basically flat versus the previous three-month period |
| Performance from the Victoria Eagle -- Victoria Gold Eagle mine in 2023 was an obvious improvement over 2022, despite a two week wildfire evacuations during the third quarter |
| I think the deployment was very, very smart and going to benefit all our owners go forward |
| And it is encouraging to see that from a cash flow per share growth perspective our annual cash flows from continuing operations in 2023 compared to 2022 increased by CAD 0.04 per share, despite being impacted by increased interest charges and higher G&A as a result of severance charges associated with the recent management changes |
| This group has been doing it for the last 10 years very, very well, and again as evidenced by the five transactions in 2023, record allocation in terms of capital deployment |
| This is important – and sorry, as noted previously on this call and noted in the subsequent event in our MD&A, we've now also repaid an additional CAD30.2 million against our revolving credit facility, further strengthening our financial position |
| The strong performance from Malartic, Eagle and others helped offset the lower than budgeted silver stream deliveries from Capstone's Mantos Blancos operation |
| I have been around to witness the formation almost 10 years ago and subsequently subsequent growth of Osisko Gold Royalties, I’m very humbled to be taking the leadership reins of the leading royalty company in the sector, and look forward to interacting with all our stakeholders in a positive constructive manner in the near future |
| In 2024, Osisko will benefit from a full year of silver deliveries from CSA under the silver stream and just over six months of deliveries under the copper stream from June 15 onward |
| And so we are very, very fortunate to be a benefactor of holding the 2% of the NSR there |
| Recent global events have only served to underpin our belief that maintaining a high exposure to both Tier 1 and very well-established mining jurisdictions where mining has been a key industry or part of the overall culture is extremely important |

| This number we reported on January 8th, came just below the company's 95,000 to 105,000 GEO guidance released in early 2023 |
| Newmont's Éléonore was impacted as operations were temporarily suspended for approximately six weeks during the third quarter due to the proximity of forest fires, which impacted the mine's 2023 production and Osisko's annual GEOs deliveries were also impacted |
| By this time, the challenges faced across our portfolio have been well-documented but worth a quick recap, a sharp fall in the rough diamond prices resulting in the shutdown of the Renard diamond mine, Canadian wildfires, which primarily affected deliveries from Éléonore, and ongoing ramp-up issues at the Mantos Blancos were there now appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel |
| A net loss of CAD 0.26 per basic common share for the 2023 year represented a marked decline versus the previous year |
| And so collectively, what you'll see as I talked about the assets that we pulled out of the five year guidance for the most part a slippage in time lines, of which we don't expect to come in within that five year window |
| And the market is confused, because most of the years you reported a loss, because of non-cash charges |
| With respect to our 2024 guidance of 82,000 to 92,000 GEOs, it goes without saying that there is a significant void in terms of GEOs that has been left by the shutdown of or not |
| But mining is a tough business as you and I both know |
| We're having a penalty because they take a write off last quarters |
| As was highlighted last night in our MD&A, the number of currently producing assets in our portfolio come down to 19 from the previous aforementioned 23 |
| The major contributors of this impairment were charges to the carrying value of the Renard stream in loans, fair value accounting treatment of our investment in Osisko development and an impairment of the Trixie stream at Fintech |
| With respect to the question on the 40% -- or 40% interest in a Osisko Development, as if we could do a dividend, the challenge as we see it with that because that will actually create them at a capital gain for our shareholders or at a cost for our shareholders to do that |
| So it doesn't make sense |
| Milling rates continue to lag Phase 1 expansion design levels |
| We recognize if we did that, our deal flow would probably be more limited |
| And if for whatever reason, and clearly that isn't the company's base case, for the Company were unsuccessful in cementing new transactions in 2024, then we'll end the year in a net cash position based on current projections, which is not the worst outcome |
| While the three other names that have come off, though it were significantly less material |
