Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
Since acquiring the mine in 2015 from Barrick, Evolution has successfully delivered sustainable production, reserve and resource growth and major capital projects
The savvy approach to investing and adding mine life and capacity to create shareholder value in a mine regionally proximate to Northparkes, bodes well for our interest in this mine with our new partner
On a full year basis, our portfolio generated sales of just over 105,000 gold equivalent ounces, delivering within our guidance range and creating a new record for Triple Flag
The strong performance resulted in $154 million in operating cash flow and $159 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2023, both new records for the company
We're excited to continue growing triple flag into a leader in the sector with our top sustainability ratings and our prudent capital allocation decisions
Northparkes is a world-class asset, having a multi-decade mine life and great exploration potential
With our ample firepower of roughly $660 million in available liquidity, and a broad base of 235 assets, our eighth consecutive sales record projected for the year ahead with guidance of 105,000 to 115,000 gold equivalent ounces and a five-year average annual production outlook of 140,000 gold equivalent ounces
Of particular interest is the target area in the vicinity of Patch 7 in the center of the long section, which has delivered strong results, including 16.3 grams per tonne gold over 28.6 meters of depth of 385 meters and 12.7 grams per tonne gold over 4.6 meters at a depth of 677 meters, as well as the exploration and development stage assets that we were excited about when acquiring Maverix Metals
This builds on Triple Flag's track record of sector-leading growth in gold equivalent ounces over the past seven years, where we've delivered a cumulative annual growth rate of more than 20% since 2017 and continuing with short- and medium-term growth well in excess of our intermediate peers for comparable capital deployment, which we've reaffirmed at an annual average of 140,000 GEOs
We had a strong fourth quarter with the portfolio producing over 26,000 gold equivalent ounces, which resulted in us achieving our full year 2023 guidance with a final total of over 105,000 gold equivalent ounces
This resulted in records for both revenues and operating cash flow during 2023, supporting our investment thesis for the Maverix transaction more than a year ago
Our business continued its strong performance during the fourth quarter -- with sales of roughly 26,000 gold equivalent ounces, resulting in $38 million of operating cash flow during the quarter
Firstly, thank you for the praise -- I've got a great team, and we're really very proud of them and what this team has achieved
It was a solid quarter and a solid year
We’re extremely well positioned, and I’m excited for what lies ahead
I think when you step back and consider the outlook we've just provided and you consider it in the context of the sector, I think it should show quite well
It's a very impressive track record of adding substantial value and unlocking value, which I think they're well positioned to do with this mineral endowment yet
I'd also like to comment on our strong balance sheet
This positions us very well, allowing us to make capital allocation decisions to benefit shareholders through new acquisitions, share buybacks or dividends
It's growing in a way that absent some magical rebounds in the traditional markets, I think, is setting up well for the sector as a whole
2023 was a record for operating cash flow, free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA, each increasing significantly from 2022 and due to the acquisition of Maverix Metals as well as other royalties acquired during the year, such as Dargues and Agbaou
This production growth will efficiently translate into increased cash flow for shareholders
Our portfolio has significant embedded production growth
As production grows and further aided by a beneficial gold price environment, we expect our free cash flow to grow due to both the price and the volume impact
And I think there's -- it's probably a reflection of, I think, what should be straightforward and a good set of results
I am very pleased that in Q4, we achieved a significant milestone of having recovered all of our initial investment in Cerro Lindo
So as the snapshot demonstrates, Triple Flag's outlook is overwhelmingly positive
E31, E31 North has done beautifully for this year and next year to deliver very, very material gold ounce growth for our portfolio
I think it's been a great year
On Slide 12, you can see that Evolution has had great success with developing and optimizing prior acquisitions like the Cowal mine, which is proximate to Northparkes
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
I think we're seeing a number of sectors coming under pressure from a liquidity point of view, some very big issuers who have seen substantial declines in pricing
But it's starting to feel a little like that
And it's not to say one is bad ones good
Sheldon, I was a bit surprised about the G&A levels this year
